BRITISH PLAN KID REPUBLIC
Youthful Citizens Will Make Own
Laws, Punish Offenders and Work
at Some Profession.

London.-On a beautiful farm of
$50 acres. in Dorsetshire, is soon to be
established England's first boy and
girl republic, modelled after the sue
cessful junior republics in the United
States. The youthful citizens and cit
iz%enesses. who will be recruited most
ly from Industrial schools and re-
formatories. will formulate their own
standards Of honor, administer their
own laws and chasten their own Of
tenders. Special training will be pro-
vdded for the trade or profession which
they may display aptitude, and they
WILL be remunerated on the results.
Out of the wages the young republic.
ans will pay for their own board and
lodging.

weeds with which farmers have to

1t is to be regretted that SO far as
the writer knows, no simple or prac-
teal method has been found that will
surely and completely eradicate
French weed. Some farmers have re.
ported methods that have proved sue.
eessful with them, but other farmers
have tried the same methods and
failed.
Some few things have been learned
by experiments, however. If this weed
Is to be destroyed, the work must be
done thoroughly. The weed produces

allowed to go to seed a large area of
surrounding land will soon be in.
tested.
If there is one direction in farming
IN which thoroughness is required, It
is in trying to destroy this weed. A
slipshod way will not do. and an ounce
of prevention is worth a thousand
pounds of cure. Farmers whose farms
are free from the French weed should
guard against its incoming with the
utmost vigilance and care.

Does any one realize the power Of

found that he had done Just az much
work as a little less than two ounces
of coal could do, says Answers.
Taking all the energy put forth by a

CULTURE OF THE ASPARAGUS
Excellent Remedy for Killing OF
Green sIuss 10 to Dust Daily With
Alrslaked Lime.

Stop cutting asparagus when peas
are fit to gather. Let the tops grow
until fall. Keep the weeds down by
applying a thick mulch of coarse ma
nure, rotted leaves or grass. If the
little fly appears, dust early In the
morning with dry air-slacked lime.
Paris green solution may be used IN
stead Of lime. We have always found
the lime effective II put on as soon as
the slugs appear. Use fresh air
Stacked lime and dust every morning
until all the worms are killed. AS
paragus grown from seed must be
kept clean Of grass and weeds, and
the soil mellow and rich. Use diluted
urine from the stables, or bone phos-
plate, one handful TO every 40 inches
of row, says a writer in an exchange.
The best remedy for asparagus rust
Is to cut the tops off close to the
ground and burn. Then SOW a thick
coat of air-slacked lime over the
rows and give clean culture. All
rust stalks should be gathered Up and
burnt. If any r left the spores will
be blown by the wind on to the new
growth. To grow stout plants from
seed, thin out the plants to stand
four Inches apart in the row.

New York.-When A. ". Appleton.

splashing about long before the man
saw that some $50 feet OF shore some

She seemed to agree with him that

overturned boat. Az they drew near.
through the waves Mr.. Appleton saw
that the man was all but unconscious

there, while Fanny, swimming a. she
never swan before, carried her double

Under the m%inistrations Of the PEG

French Scientist Asserts These .Vege-

XIII Bacteria.

Paris.-Since Professor Metchni-
kof has been writing on the value of
carrots for general health that homely
vegetable has found a regular place
on the menu Of home and restaurant
In Paris. It has been remembered
that carrots form part of the daily
food at Vichy, and the chefs at the
big hotels are %1nventing recipes to
satisfy the taste of the moment.
Greasy soup, as everybody knows, is
but mashed carrots diluted Nth milk,
and at the fashionable gatherings in
the Bots de Boulogne restaurants on
Friday evenings there is scarcely a
table where this soup is not served.
Carrots, according to Professor
Metchnfkof. contain a sugar that kills
q bacillus that prevents our attaining
the age of one-hundred; besides this,
carrots possess; according to tradition,
the property Of comforting a fine COM
plexion on all who persistently eat
them.

TWO BOYS KIDNAP A SERVANT

Muskogee, Okla.-Though house
wives of America have discussed and
worried about the servant problem, it
has taken Will Edwards, a youth who
lives with his aunt. Mrs. Lee Edwards.
on a farm near here, to solve the ques-
ton. Mrs. Edwards needed a girl serv-
ant and could not find one.
That's easy. I'll get you one" her
nephew told her.
Young Edwards then enlisted the
services of a friend, Charles Martin.
and the two came in to Muskogee on
their ponies. On the street they pass
ed Minnie Simpson. Is years old. The
boys saw that she was good-looking,
and decided that she would make .

Will took her on his saddle and to
his aunt.
Mrs. Edwards was greatly pleased
at the new girl, but Minnie's mother.
who was planning to place her in .
convent. asked the police to find the
girl. They did. but she was pleased
with her new home and refused to
leave. The officers arrested Edwards
and Martin on a charge Of kidnapping
the girl.
The boys are in the Muskogee Jail,

The Supreme Court.

For the supreme court Of tho United
States there is no exact precedent,
either in the ancient or the modern
times. In making the great Constitu.
ton, the Fathers" availed themselves
Of all past knowledge and experience,
but it was probably from the French
publicist Montesquieu that they got
their idea of the Supreme Court, In
his book, "The Spirit of the Laws"
Montesquieu, after making a mastery
analysis of all forms of government,
used these words: There is no liberty
II the judicial power be not separated
from the legislative and the execu.
tive" The trainers of the Constitu.
ton knew Montesquieu's book well,
and there is not any room for doubt
about getting the idea of the Supreme
Court from that source.

Tho Rain.

About three-quarters Of the rain
which refreshes the continents Of the
earth is due to the condensation OF
the vapors rising from the soil and
not to those coming from the oceans.
Elaborate estimates, based on all
available data as presented in Ger
many, show that the annual rainfall
for the entire globe is equivalent to a
layer Of water enveloping the earth
to a depth of about three feet. The
quantity Of rain water and melted
snow falling In a year is put at 1900
cubic miles. More than two-thirds OF
his fall upon the sea South America
Is, 1t is said, the only one of the con
tinents on which the annual rainfall
on land exceeds that on the surface
of the sea.

with which to line them and make
them soft and "comfey' for their fam

boards for the roof. Place a board
beneath the house to keep the cats

hole In it for a doorway. For blue

the size of a quarter. If the box is
Intended for wrens make It smaller
