Mexican City Riven
By An Earthquake
Many Buildings Are Wrecked Includ-
ing the National Palace and
Artillery Barracks.

Mexico City, June An earth
quake at 4 o'clock this morning
wrecked several buildings, includ-
ing the artillery quarters where ~
soldiers were buried in the ruins.
The dead and wounded are estima-
ted at between so and 70.
Several persons we're killed rhro
the collapse of the building occu-
pied by the street railway power
plant
At Buena Vista the railway tracks
were twisted.
The shock was followed by an ex-
plosion of gas at the armory bar
racks, which added horror to the
scene.
The oscillations moved from north
to south and opened assures in the
streets. The abode houses crum-
bled but the dead in these cannot
be numbered at present,
The National Palace, the walls
of which were wrecked by the
earthquake, occupies a large city
block and houses many of the
government offices. An imposing
facade extends along the entire
east side of the Plaza Mayor with
a frontage of CTS feet.
The church of SantO Domingo,
which was damaged was complet-
ed in 1886 at a cost of $2OOO,OOO
and was then considered the finest
structure in the city 1t is still
regarded as one of the best exam
pies of Baroque architecture in
Mexico.

alfalfa. The plant must have lime.
If lime is not in the soil nOticeably,
it must be supplied
A good deal is being said about
soil incubation for alfalfa. The
very best process along that line
in my humble judgement, is to
follow oats COW peas-the Clay,
Unknown or kindred variety-first
treating the soil to an extra liber-
al ration Of good stable manure
spread broadcast and thoroughly
narrowed in-tWo to ten tons per
acre. Sow broadcast one and one
half to two bushels of peas per acre.
Cultivate in lightly, then plank-drag
or roll. Cut for hay as soon as the
peas are in full bloom. Let the
stubble alone; it will stool out
before frost. After first light frost,
October 10-November Is, turn
under. Mix and apply per acre
500 lbs of following material:
1000 lbs. Is per cent acid phos-
plate, 125 nitrate of soda and
400 lbs. muriate of potash.
Run rows three feet apart, put
down the fertilizer, throw two fur
rows, knock off with a board, then
open with small shovel not deep
er than three inches, SOW seed at
rate of Is lbs. per acre. covering
carefully but not heavily. A
plank drag six feet wide will COW
er three rows at a time, and press
the earth to the seed; that will
hasten termination.
First season do not cut more
than one time and then only when
there is vigorous growth and the
plants in bloom. Second and sue
cessive seasons, cut when in bloom
or when buds appear about the
crown of the plant. If leaves turn
yellow, manifesting the presence OF
blight cut at once.
After being well set, it will give
three to five cuttings a season.
After last cutting fertiliZe between
rows cultivating in. If lime seems
to be needed apply five to eight
bbls. of air-slaked lime per acre
broadcast. Do this in latter Feb
ruary or middle March.

thought that afar in the beautiful sky
The angels were singing their songs OF JOY
Was ever a mother so happy as |
When Baby Came.
There was peace in my heart and the world was bright
And felt Gods love in the warm sunlight
And rested my weakness upon His might
When Baby Came.
All those were moments of purest bliss
When soothed his cry with mothers kiss
would not exchange the whole world for this
When Baby Came.
So sacred so frail it seemed to me
AS he lay on my arm where he loved to be
Gods voice speaking out of eternity
When Baby Came
Like heavens own light diviney fair
Was baby's smile sweet and rare
He was fresh from heaven he had learned it there
Before He Came
And the future planned not Of riches and gold
But of goodness and trumphs manifold
thought there was nothing the world could withhold
When Baby Came.
But one fell stroke and iii its fall
1t has changed the sweetness of life into gall
One swift sharp sorrow has ended it all
For Baby Died
Dead and feel his touch
Nor press to my heart the form | bore
Nor know the caresS so sweet before
My Baby Died
Oh Master of all keep him for me
Oh grant me once more his sweet face to
May my fond heart be willing to have him with Thee
My Baby Who Died.
Not dead said the Christ in the long ago
To hearts like mine oercharged with woe
Oh plying Lord be it mine to know
In the home eternal
In bliss superna
