happened to be in the church and

IF it were not for the material side
of the case said Sister Mary Vincent
II would be inclined to believe that IL
was a vision, but the fact that a rea,
medal changed hands makes me hold
to the theory that some pious woman
seeing the beautiful picture of little
girl in church at a time when most
children were at play, was struck witt
the significance and made her pres

Blessed Mother appeared, showing p

Is a counterpart of that one and would
lend strength to the idea of the vision
but the fact that it was a material
medal causes us to hesitate.
The little girl is a most devout and
faithful child and her teacher tells me
that she talks remarkably well of re
ligious subjects, especially SO for one
of her tender age.

A very good type Of fattening crate,

lege and experiment station, is recon-
mended in recent bulletin from that
station.
The crates are usually made six feet

three compartments, each holding
from four to six birds, according to
the size of the chicken. The crate is
made of Stats usually ~ inches wide

The Anti-suffrage association of New
York has asked Gov. Hughes to ap-
point women on state boards, asserting
that women of intelligence and judg-
ment can render good public service on
educational and reformatory boards.
The association asks that the appoint
ments be made as soon as possible,
naively adding that such appointments
might afford an outlet to the energies
of women and their present interest in
public matters which would obviate
the question of unrestricted suffrage
AS this seems to be the milk in the
cocoanut for this sudden demand for
the recognition OF women in public
matters, says the Baltimore American,
the suffragists will doubtless repudi-
ate with scorn such a palpable sop to

There is a small v.shaped trough arr
ranged in front Of the coop for feeding
and watering the chickens. This
trough is usually made three inches
deep of half-inch lumber. 1t is hung

birds are placed in the crates they
should be well busted with sulphur.

hours and fed very sparingly for a

Baltimore, Md.-Has the beautiful
vision that thrilled Paris in 1880 been
repeated? This is question in the
minds OF nearly every one connected
with st. Johns church, Eager and Val
ley streets, the school near by and, in
fact, the entire neighborhood.
Little Margaret Daley, pupil of
the second grade of ST. Johns school,
while kneeling at the altar of the
church, claims to have seen a mysteri.
Gus woman in black and white, who
beckoned to her. The child approached
the figure and was handed a small
medal, similar to that shown in the
vision of the Virgin Mary in Paris
years ago.
When Margaret looked up after in.
specting the little medal the figure had
disappeared completely. The church
was so light that the child was certain
she had had a vision and was thor.
oughly aroused. On going to the front
part of the building she was seen by
one of the priests, who remarked on
her paleness.

and older sister Mary, who is pupil

the medal to Sister Mary Vincent, who
is in charge of the girls department

girl, Mrs. c. J. Lowenstein, stated that

hope that something might come of it.

tomato growing offers excellent oppor-
tunities at this time"
Prof. Munson summarizes his 20
years experience in the culture of to-
matoes in the field and in the green
house substantially as follows:
Field Culture-One of the most i'm
portant problems in tomato culture is
that of earliness. AS a rule, plants
purchased of the local dealers are
drawn and "leggy," being crowded to-
gether in small boxes. When set in
the field where too often the soil is
hard and dry, the shock is such that
several weeks are required for the
plants to recover and no fruit sets I'M
til late in the season. In general,
these weak drawn plants are not worth
setting.
Frequent transplanting before set
ting in the field is the best method of
securing strong, stocky, well-developed
plants. The practice usually followed
by the writer has been to SOW the
seeds in hotbeds, or in shallow boxes
in the greenhouses, about April /.
When the first true leaves have well
started or as soon as the plants begin
to crowd, transfer to two-inch pots,

In these days of gastronomic sur
prises how about seaweed? The in
habitants of islands in the Pacific
ocean, as well as the Chinese and
Japanese, have eaten seaweed for
many centuries; why, asks the Boston
Herald shouldn't the rest of civiliza-
ton try to ward off starvation with
that excellent food? We are told that
the Orientals go out in boats and with
long poles, to which stout hooks are
attached, tear the seaweed from SUBJ
merged rocks. On shore the seaweed
is spread to dry, boiled in factories and
shredded fer food, like Iceland moss. A
writer says If the gourmet did not re-
gard the cheap food as the least desir-
able he would insist on his dish of sea-
weed. But rich and poor scorn the
cheap food, however much they growl
at the expense of living. AS there is
nothing new under the sun, some one
will undoubtedly rise to say we are
even now eating prepared seaweed,
only under another name.

Country Clubs.


Golf would deserve well OF the pso
pie of America II 1t had nothing more
To its credit than the influence II has
exercised toward the establishing OF
country clubs. No doubt it has much
more to its credit, but this is one OF
it's greatest recommendations. The in
crease In the number OF country clubs
is a wholesome and pleasing sign of
saner enjoyment OF life. There have
been plenty of town and village and
city clubs before now, many OF them
serving as centers for an agreeable
social life. The objection to them has
been that for the most part they were
either mems or women's clubs, con-
Quoted primarily for the benefit and
pleasure of one or the other sex. More
over the recreation which they offered
was comprised in reading, pool and
billiards, cards and bowling, and occa'
sional dances-all indoors. The coun,
try club, on the other hand, offers all
these diversions to those who wish
them, and offers, in addition, the more
wholesome sports Of golf, tennis, snow
khoeing, and sometimes curling, hockey
and skating, says the Youths Compan-
ion. Moreover, the sexes stand more
on an equality here, and neither need
regard itself as the occasional guest OF
the other. The family life, instead of
being interrupted, is broadened and
enriched. The part that golf has
played in this development is due to
the large space which the game re-
quires. Few individuals can secure the
necessary land, hence community of
interests which leads eventually to the
establishment Of club. Although
many country clubs are expensive,
there is no need that an association OF
this kind should be beyond the reach
Of the family in ordinary circum-
stances. The scale rests with those
who are most concerned. Not least in
the merits of the country club is its
happy solution of the way in which
persons of only moderate means can
enjoy the pleasures of a large estate
with beautiful grounds.

The American woman dresses so well

does not have to consider each step she
takes, because it does not occur to her that

ROLLER KAUFMAN

Arena Management at the Exposition
Has Not Fully Decided to Obey

SEATTLE, July 29.-The Roller

for Corts arena next Friday night
may be held in spite of the ban placed
on it by Sheriff Hodge. Hodge is in
California, but sent letter to Presl-
dent Chilberg, of the exposition pro-
testing AGAINST the boxing. This
brought the arena management 10 the
conclusion that it was useless to try
to pull off the bout but later events
yesterday caused a change of senti-
ment.
Prosecuting Attorney George VAN
derveer says he does not think the
proposed exhibition will come under
the ban in the new criminal code which
prohibits prize fights. The arena
management is of the same opinion,
and last night Matchmaker Curley
said that in all probability the sched-
uled event would stand.

The worlds championship series OF

The worlds championship series of
today does not really determine the
champion team of the world, simply
because only seven games are played
between the two winning teams. One
of these teams may have such a hard
fight for their league pennant that the
PLAYERS are all out of condition for a
championship series and the other team
has a walkaway. For this reason
worlds championship games in the past
have been uninteresting. Should the
new plan be adopted, it would give the
best team in the two big leagues 3
chance to win 1t would make base
ball far more interesting than it is at
the present time. In order to make
such a sport more interesting every
wear some changes must be made and,
considering conditions, it looks as
though this is the most practical
change. Under such a change tall
end club in the league season would
have an equal chance with pennant
winner in the worlds series, and,
therefore. the fight would be at fever
heat for the last two months of the
season. and really more interesting
than the regular schedule games of the
two ORGANIZATIONS
Should this change be made in the
majors. the magnates of the minor
leagues will have a kick coming There
is not a question but what such a
change in the majors will cause fans
to lose interest in minor leagues. There
will be three fights in the major league
One for the pennant of each league
the minor leagues each organization
would simply have a battle for the
remnant as it has today Under the
present conditions there is enough in
terest in the major leagues in towns
would injure the minors to have this
interest increased The minor leagues
might avoid this by combining with
the same proposition which is being
drawn up for the majors. That is, to
have the Eastern league and the
American Association arrange short
schedules and then a post-season series,
the Western and Southern leagues and
all other minor leagues of equal
strength to do the same. This would
create a new interest in all leagues OF
the country and they would be keeping
in line with the working OF the mayor
leagues.
