ALFILRRILLA AS FORAGE
PLANT on SPRING RANGES

Washington, D. c.. Oct. 23.-Uncle
Sam is now studying the distribution
and the habits OF Alfilerilla, one OF
the Vests best forage plants, with a
view of determining the possibility OF
growing 1t upon oyergrszed ranges,
and introducing it upon National for
est ranges where hitherto 1t has been
unknown, or has occurred only in
limited quantities.
Alfilerilla is a very valuable and
hardy forage plant, which constitutes
one of the principal spring feeds upon
many OF the semi-arid ranges OF the
Southwest. Stock fattens rapidly on
# and the gain is good hard tallow
not easily lost through shipment
Many stockmen have sndeavored to
introduce It upon their ranges, and in
most instances their efforts have fail
ed. The cause of this failure is now
found to lie in the fact proven by
tetsts made by the Bureau OF Plant
Industry, that the seed sold by seed
firms seldom has over ten per cent.
germinatiye power. and that nine
tenths OF the seed sowed is worth
less.
The Unitetd States Forest Service
has been in receipt OF many requests
for the planting of Alflerilla upon
spring ranges within the National
Fortsts. and has decided to act upon
them Tests having proved the i'm
possibility of securing sufficient
supplies of seed through the ordinary
channels. A. W. Simpson. plant eeol-
ogist. was detailed to the work Of Sc
curing a supply that would meet all
requirements.
Beginning his Investigations upon
the Sequoia Forest in California he
discovered that by setting aside =
suitable tract upon which the plant
was abundant. and Watching the pro-
gress of its growth. seed with a ger
minative power in excess OF ninety
per cent could be secured in large
quantities and at = cost much below
the prevailing market prices As
result of his investigations the Forest
Service has arranged to set aside GER
tain tracts in the Southwest this fall
for the purpose OF cultivatinE and col
lecting Alflerilla seed.
The seed thus secured will be used
to reseed overgrared and otherwise
depleted ranges within National For
ests. and II 10 planned to introducs the
plant upon many dry ranges TO which
IL has hitherto been a stranger. The
success of this movement means mueA
to the stockmen using National For
est ranges. In the Southwest many a
stockowner has been saved from a
heavy loss or even absolute ruin by
the Alfilerilla that covered his spriaE
ranges at a time when other early
feeds were lacking, and sustained his
cattle until the advance OF the season
produced other sources OF feed supply,
and II is probable that the plant will
be as valuable in other pertieas OF
the country.

Origin Of JuIienne Soup.

In hotels and restaurants we invari-
ably find "~Julienne" soup and "Juli-
enne" potatoes. both of which are uni
versal favorites. Nearly 70 years ago
in Boston a Frenchman by the name
of Julien kept a famous eating place
on Milk street, almost opposite the
door of Old South church. Here the
elite of the city used to gather; in
fact, 1t was Boston's Delmonico. A
modern iron front building has re-
placed the quaint gabled structure and
few remember the one-time popular
rendezvous. Julien invented the soup
which was called for him and, I sup
pose, the potatoes, although IL was the
soup that made him famous. He is
buried in the old graveyard on the
Common, forgotten, perhaps, but it is
interesting to know that his name
survives on nearly every dinner table
IN the land.

Notwithstanding the incredibly swift

The easterly position of the center of
population is in part due to the fact
that the eastern part of the continent

center of population is also due to
the more evenly distributed and more

A st. Petersburg paper publishes

young Baroness Urusoff, the widow OF
a distinguished Russian government

All the young cavaliers Of Moscow

baroness, however, rejected all at
tempts to obtain an introduction to
her and lived in perfect seclusion, at

Some months & a young peasant girl
began to visit the residence Of the
baroness, offering the servants cheap
articles for sale. Subsequently the
baroness used to buy different articles
from the peasant, who was intelligent,
had good and considerable
conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her
service as a lady's maid. She agreed
and discharged her duties to perfec.

CHAPTER III.
Peril in a Great House.

The night nursery was now flooded
with light. 1t shone upon the bright
walls, paneled in white with thin
headings of china blue, upon the flow
err pattern of tie carpet, the dress
ing tables, the nurses bed, the cot
the empty cot.
There was 10 doubt about it all
the little duke was not there.
The duchess stared at Michael
Grant, her face suddenly grown white;
and he looked back at her in equal
amazement.
Il thought you said Fitz was
asleep" he stammered, hardly know
ing what he said.
Suddenly the duchess wheeled
round with a quick, imperious move
ment. Her face flushed up until it
was scarlet with anger.
Alexander or Hobson has dared"
she said, c%lenching her hands and
stamping upo nthe carpet with her
little black satin shoe, tn ediamond
buckle flashing like white fame as
she did so-"Alexander or Hobson has
actually dared to take him out of the
room"
Surely Alexander wouldn't do such
a thing" Grant said-he knew the re-
spectacle, middle-aged head nurse
very well. "She wouldn't dare"
Then it must be Hobson." the
duchess answered. quickly. Ring
ring the bell, Michael"
Michael ran to the wall and pressed
an electric button. Both waited in
silence, an ominous light of anger
growing brighter and brighter in the
mothers eyes.
The door between the night and
day nurseries was open, and suddenly
they heard some n enter the farther
room. The duchess swept into 1t, and
Michael followed her. One Of the un.
der footmen stood there, the man
whose especial duty it was to attend
to the nursery bell.
Where Is Alexander? Where Is
Hobson?" said the duchess, in a hard,
angry voice. 'His grace is not in his
cot"
The man looked stupidity at her for
a moment.
Il don't know, your grace" he be-
gan, in a hesitating voice. "Tve not
been rung for at all. Mrs. Alexan-
der Is generally taking supper in the
housekeeper's room at this time. Hob
son is usually here, your grace"
The duchess did not answer the
man, but turned to Grant. Come
with me-" she said, and fastened
from the room, her silk skirts swish
Ing as she went. her steps full of an
cry forcefulness.
Michael followed a little ~uneasily.
He rather wished he had not come to
see the boy now. This sudden and
harsh ending to the momentous
events of the evening seemed all
wrong and out of the picture; he
hated rows and trouble, and he knew
that there vas going to be very big
trouble indeed for some of the I'M
lucky upper servants of the mansion.
He followed the duchess into the
gallery once more. She crossed 1t
hurriedly, and he saw the great
cleaning hall below, with a man or
two standing about in 1t. In another
moment they entered a farther door
and hurried down a long. carpeted
corridor, where pictures hung upon
the great white walls. until. at the
far end, the duchess pushed aside q
