an article from Mr.. Alvan Sanborn in
which he shows Francisco Ferrer as he
really was. OF his modern schools"
the Protestant writer says they were
schools of anarchism, nothing more,
nothing less. "There were schools
other than, Church schools in Spain
before Ferrer opened his schools" he
says, "but they interested him little,
because they taught respect for law
and for property, love of country and
the cult of the family Those who
still think that Ferrer was a martyr

P. j. Meehan, one of the early pub
fishers of the N. Y. Irish American,
recently passed away at an advanced
age. The paper Of which he was the
editor for half century is the oldest
of the kind in the United States. IL is
older than the Boston Pilot which was
founded by Patrick Donahoe, and still
retains it's pristine vigor. Mr.. MeehaE
with his pen did excellent service TO.
Ireland. He published the controversy
between Father Thomas N. Burke, o.
p, and James Anthony Froude, the ly-
ing English historian, who came to
America in 1871 to present the case Of
England in its relation to Ireland to
the American people and to ask for
their favorable verdict. Mr.. Meehar
also opened the columns Of his paper
to the revival Of the Irish language
and published Irish books for learn
ers. The Irish race in America lose
an able champion in the death Of this
newspaper man.

Or. A. w. Parsons, the oldest Ameri-
can physician, in point of practice, in
the City of Mexico, tells good story
of his experience in that country. As a
young man he had been knocking about
Western mining camps in the days
when gun plays were common.
He had just landed at one OF the gulf
ports of Mexico, and was eating IL
O'Clock breakfast at the only hotel in
town. He was seated at the table with
several other Americans, all rough
railroad construction men. Their
knowledge of Spanish was rather limit
ed. and their pronunciation atrocious.
At the meal one of the men said to the
waiter angrily:
Dame la mantequilla" (Give me the
butter). In good Castilian 1t would
sound thus: Dame la man-te-keel-ya,-
with broad as and long e's. Pronounc-
ed by the American it sounded, Dam
me la man-te-kill-ye.'
The young medico promptly stiffened
his legs and slid under the table. His
astonished table mates looked at each
other and then peered beneath The
board to see what allied him.

OF them.

EARLY Vegetables.

The right time to sow seeds i'm the
hotbed depends largely on the lora-
ton, the kind of plants and the way
in which tie plants are to be handled.
Sowing the seed too early is very apt
to cause loss.
successful tomato grower says he
economies hot-bed space and labar
by growing his early plants, ready sor
the field, right where the seed il
sown, 500 plants to the sash. He usI-
ally sows his seed about the middle
of March, and the plants set in the
field from the LIST to the 10th of May,
and about the 10th of July the frat
fruits are sent into market, selling at
from 10 to 10 cents per berry basket,
retail; or from $1.5O to 81 per bushsl
crate, wholesale.
He sows the seed in drills eight
inches apart, or five rows to the sasa,
using q liberal amount of seed. Whd1
well started the plants are thinned %
about 100 per row. The bed Is cara
fully ventilated without severe draf4s
with straw mats.
For the first three or four weeks
the growth is very rapid; as the
weather becomes milder the plants
are more and more exposed TO the
open air, and as the time for trans
planting draws near water is with
held. SO that on sunny afternoons tie
plants have quite a wilted look. But
the result is a fine lot of plants, meas-
uring from eight inches TO q foot In
height, with hard, woody stems, bios
som buds showing, and tough leaves
that will withstand a light frost,
should one come.
In setting these plants in the field,
they are laid in shallow burrows, tops
away from the prevailing winds; a
little soil is drawn over ti,S roots, a
foot pressed on the spot, while the
rest of the stem is covered, all bur
three or four inches of the top, which
is turned upward. The footprint Is
left open to receive pint of water,
which later is covered TO prevent
evaporation. Thus treated they scarce

resulting in a vigorous growth.

by bedding or sowing sweet potatoes.

gained by planting these in the open

TOO CLEAN.

group of native women watched hel

by the way in which the spots disap

her s0ap-a precious commodity in The
