Jaws Seize the Leg.

sists of a pair of graphing tongs with
pivoted curved jaws and foldable arms
One of these arms fits over a pole and
a rope is slipped through ring at one
end and passed through ring at the
end of the other arm, at the same
time being slipped through a short
chain at the intersection. In using
the catcher the operator seizes the
animals leg with the jaws of the in
strument and pulls the rope, when
closed the jaws tight. The big ad
vantage derived is that the pursuel
need not continually stoop and hurl
himself at the fugitive to grasp its
leg with his own hands, proceeding
maddening in it's frequent failures and
loss of dignity.

APPLYING SUMMER MULCH.
Ground Should Be Worked Over Fine
and Deep and Left Free from
All Weeds.

Before applying the mulch the
ground should be worked over fine
and deep and left free from all weeds
the clippings should then be spread
evenly over the surface, working it
under the leaves of low growing
plants and we'll up around the stems
of tall ones, as lilies.
Once placed the mulch should not
be disturbed, as it's object Is to ex-
Guide light and hot air and retain
moisture. Left undisturbed under the
influence of rain and dew 1t settles
into a feltlike mat that effectually dis
courages the growth of weeds, while
retaining the moisture, GOODNESS and
friableness of the soil so essential to
the welfare of the plant.
The mulch must be added to from
time to time, as the drying out Of the
grass renders it much thinner than
when applied and beds much exposed
will require much heavier mulching
than those in partial or complete
shade. So, too, beds OF fine, low
growing plants will require much less
mulching than tall, robust plants, as
the cosmos, cleome, dahlia, or per
ennial phlox, which may be kept
mulched to depth of eight or ten
inches to advantage, and in season
of normal rainfall will require little
if any, watering.
Where a part of a bed has been
mulched and the remaining part left
uncovered and watered it has been
discovered that the weeds grew ram
PANTY, needing constant attention
and that no amount of water seems
to assuage the thirst of the soil under
brilliant sun, while the soil of the
protected portion of the bed would
on turning back the mulch, be founc
cool. moist and free from weeds.

TranspIanting Tomatoes.

Tomatoes are too tender to trans
plant until all danger of frost is past.
Let the ground get good and warm;
nothing is gained by transplanting to-
matoes in ground that is cold. The
idea that tomatoes do best on rather
poor soil is mistake; they will ripen
little earlier on such soil, but will
not produce as many or as fine toma-
toes as when grown on good, rich soil.
If the soil is so rich that they are in
clined to run to vine, be little rough
with them and so check their growth.

Constantinople, April 21.-The pop

to find the pickets of the constitu-
tional forces, who have surrounded
the city to make the sultan guarantee
the continuation of constitutional gov
ernment, within calling distance of
the old walls that flank the capital on

lines extend in wide semi-circle
around three quarters of the city,

except that now and then travellers
are stopped and questioned and some.

the nearest outpost.
Several of the foreign military at
taches in Constantinople rode out and
visited friends among the Turkish Off
GERS who command battalions of the
constitutionalists and had an excel
lent opportunity to observe the con
dition of the troops. They were
amazed at the excellence and com
pleteness of the equipment and the
high state of eff cheney of the field
telegraph system, the hospitals and
the supply trains. The men are well
fed confident of ultimate success and
under excellent discipline.
Paying for Food With Cash.
All acquisitions made upon the peo
pie for food or animals are paid fol
in cash. The Italian attache counted
thirty machine guns and other mill

The occupation of the city will mo-
