Strictly Fresh Eggs.

There are summer resorts, remote
from any agricultural communities,
where fresh farm products are even
harder to obtain than in the city. 1t
was at such a place that the new
boarder, who had eaten four or five
breakfasts there, began to wonder
why the eggs were invariably served
fried.
"See here" he inquired one morn.
ing of the genial colored man who
waited upon him, why do you always
fry eggs here? Don't you ever boil
them?"
"Oh-oh, yes, sah!" responded the
waiter, pleasantly. "Of co'se. yo' kin
have 'em boiled, If yo' wants 'em. But
you know, sab. yo' takes de risk"

Washes in Brothers Blood.

Flagstaff, Ariz-As the result of a
gun fight at Williams, Mexican dep
uty sheriff, E. Dominges, was killed
and two Mexican bystanders wounded.
James Duncan, a negro bartender at
the Harvey house, is under arrest for
murder.
1t is claimed Dominges attempted to
arrest Duncan in a saloon for a pre-
vious disturbance. A mob of Mex
leans gathered for the purpose of
lynching Duncan, but he was brought
to Flagstaff before the mob could be-
organized.
The two injured will recover. Dun
can is a former soldier, who recently
returned from the Philippines and
has borne good character.
The brother of the dead man has
washed his hands in his brothers
blood, and vowed vengeance on Dun
can for his crime.

KNOWING THE SOIL.
Success Of Farming Depends on Know
ing What Your Land Will Do.

The first thing of Importance that
any farmer has to deal with is the
knowledge of his soil. On this has
hinged more success and more failure
than on any other kind of knowl.
edge connected with farming. Some
soils may indeed be so rich that a
man does not have to know anything
about them to get good results from
them, but most of our land is not OF
this character. Although farmers have
titled the soil since the time when the
race began to develop agriculture, yet
the soil is the least known thing on
almost any farm. The very idea of
studying the soil is one that has not
yet taken deep root. Most men can.
not tell what it is their soil lacks, and
they go on year after year making the
same blunders. In the past, the farm
err was justified in not knowing the
components of his soil, because science
had not yet taken up the matter OF
soil composition. But now it is diff
ferent, and it is possible for every
man to become thoroughly acquainted
with the soil on which he is trying tc
make living.

Endures Agony to Save Babe.

Marion. O.-Exhausted and almost
unconscious, Mrs. w. H. Collins of
Letouretta street, was found by neigh.
bors with her body part way into a
cistern. The woman was clinging to
the skirts of her five-year-old son. The
baby was crying Justify as the mother
held him in a vise-like grip above the
water.
The child fell into the open cistern.
Mrs. Collins heard his screams. She
ran to the cistern, and, in reaching
down into the opening to get hold of
the infant, her arm caught in such a
manner that she could not remove it
without releasing her hold on the
babe.
For an hour she held the child
above the water before neighbors
heard her cries.

New York.-A feeling of resentment
among the people against the police
force, growing out of the recent con-
viction of a Brooklyn policeman of bur.
glary and the arrest recently of Po-
liceman David Shellard, on charge of
murder, was manifested at the funeral
of Barbara Rieg, the victim of the
Irving Square park murder.
An immense crowd stood in the
street in front of the home of the
receiving family for two hours preced-
ing the funeral, and in the comment
on the crime there was a strong un-
dertone of condemnation for the po-
lice system which attempts to shield
a criminal because he wears uni.

Because of the rain, Capt. Gallagher
Of the Stage street station supposed
that the crowd of curiosity seekers
which the funeral might attract would
be small. He sent four men to keep
order around the receiving home, in
structing them to guard the funeral
cortege from the house to St. Nicho-

task soon found it beyond their ca

Sandy Soil.

Sandy soil is very easy to work, and
when the humus is abundant the pro.
ductiveness is not below that of other
Soils Many sandy soils carry good
percentage of clay, though that does
not appear to the ordinary observ.
err. A soil that has no clay is not soil
but sand. Such is not suitable for
agricultural operations till it has been
modified by the application of clay.
There are many localities where q
slight increase of the clay content of
the sand soil would greatly increase
it's capacity. The clay makes the
sandy soil retentive of moisture and
also enables it to hold the soluble
plant food SO necessary to the growth
of plants.

Washington, Aug. 15.-With every
thing indicating the acceptance of the
Baldwin military dirigible by the gov.
eminent, interest centers in the uses
to which the airship will be put after
it becomes the property Of the sig

will be used principally for training
the officers and men Of the aeronaut'
teal division in the handling Of a
dirigible balloon, as the airship is too
small to be of much practical value
in actual warfare. When the big bal
loon plant now being erected at FIT
Omaha is completed the dirigible will
be taken there. In the meantime
after the Wright brothers and A. NJ
Herring have completed the tests OF
their aeroplanes before the army
board, Capt. Baldwin will train two
officers of the signal corps in the
handling of the aerial craft. Lieut.
Frank P. Lahm, already well known
for balloon work, and Lieut.. Thomas
Selfridge the aeroplanist. both of the
signal corps, probably will be selected
by Gen. James Allen, chief signal Of
