TACOMA

"The Old Homestead" which
comes to the Tacoma Sunday,
will always rank among the
great plays of the American
stage, even after it has ceased to
be presented and fingers only in
memory. 1t has no plot, no high
flown dialogue, no rolling periods
these are all lacking. What it
successfully purports to be is a
character study, with plenty of
light and shade; intrigue is
wanting, but in it's place is an ex-
quisite representation of honest
motives. The present is the
twenty-seventh season of Denman
Thompson's famous play.
The stage setting for the three
acts of "Pomander Walk" which
comes to the Tacoma next Mon
day, is row of five quaint cot
tages, to which the author has
given the name of "Poamnder
Walk" Among the interesting
inhabitants of the cottages, four
love matches are progressing SIM
ultaneously, and in the last act
of the pretty play, the author
pulls the strings, and all are hap
PLY contaminated by marriage.

RUSSIA'S REAL YELLOW PERIL
Drifting Sands Make Desert of 1000 Acres of Fertile Farm Lands
 Every Year.

The great enemy comes from the east. Our yellow peril does not ap- pear In human shape It comes in a much more dangerous and insinuating form than Mongol invasion. Slowly but surely 1t is advancing upon us and It's vanguard has already reached the gates of Kieff."
 Thus spoke some years ago, Vladi. mir Solovitch, the well-known Russian scientist, who foresaw the danger to Russian agriculture of the drifting masses of sand which are being stead fly blown across some of the most fertile parts of Southern Russia.
 The urgent nature of the danger is once more emphasized by General Mistchenkc the commander-in-c chief of the Don Cossacks, who has made report to the St Petersburg govern ment in which he points out that every year 1000 square miles of fertile land in the Don Province and 1,500 square miles in the government of Astrakhan are being swallowed up by the invader and rendered unfit for cultivation
 During the past year, the drifting masses have done the greatest damage within living memory. One large agr1- cultural colony in the Don region has had to emigrate In a westward direc, tion for the fourth time in fifty years. General Mistchenko urgently advo. cates afforestation as the only way to stem the spread of the sand plague. The cost, it is figured, would only amount to a fraction of the $750,O00 which is now lost every year to Rus sian agriculture.-NewY York Sun.

Gentleman Farmer.

The farmer who once welcomed the lightning rod operator as a friend oi mankind is moving to town now, and languidly supervising the tilling of his acres from an automobile. One oi these yicarious husbandmen, estab lished in an Indiana county seat. found 1t difficult to employ bis newly acquired leisure. The automobile had not proved itself toy of unal loved delight and the feet that had followed unwearied the hayrake and blow faltered upon the treads of the mechanical piano. He began to alter. nate motor flights with more deliber. ate drives behind handsome team of blacks. The eyes of the town under. taker fell in mortal envy upon that team and he sought to buy 1t. The tired husbandman felt that here, in. deed, was an opportunity to find light gentemanly occupation. while at the same time enjoying the felicities Of urban life, so he consented to the use of his horses, but with the distinct understanding that he should be per mitted to drive the hearse.-M Meredith Nicholson in the Atlantic.

NEW USE FOR SAND GLASS
German Surgeons, Before Operation Must Wash Their Hands Until the
 Grains Have All Fallen.

The whistling egg boiler and other patent inventions have threatened the existence of the old-fashioned sand glass as part of the kitchen parapher nalia, and 1t seemed likely that the children of later generation would be quite ignorant of the use of what with the scythe, so often stands as the symbol of time.
 A German surgeon, like many Ger mans a strong dlsciplinarian, has however, found new use for the sand glass, and under his directions one oi the larger Berlin hospitals has just placed an order for score of sand glasses. which, however, are not timed for the boiling of an egg, but fol rather longer-for five minutes.
 It was discovered that some of the younger surgeons were rather easy going in the matter of cleansing theiI hands before operations. The regula tions prescribe four processes of five minutes eGch. but rarely were sthe times kept with any approach to ac curacy.
 The excuse was that it was difficult to estimate the time without a clock Others pleaded the difficulty of keep ing count of when they began and then reckoning minute by minute with only small watch to go by The sand glasses, however. are to put ar end to this, Each washstand basin is to have its sand glass
 For five minutes the surgeon washes his hands with soap and warm water and then cleans his finger nails. An other turn of the sand glass, and five minutes more of hand washing with soap and warm water is to follow The third turn keeps time for third wash, this time in alcohol and the fourth is for the proces of sterilization with a wash of corrosive sublimate Over all these operations the sand glass stands as arbiter to decide when each has been thoroughly carried out

Conflict Bismarck Forqot.

The smallest of Europes sovereign state, Liechtenstein, which is pre- pairing to celebrate the second cen tury of it's independence, has mon arch and parliament, but no taxes and no army, the Westminster Ga zette states It's finances are provid ed by it's Prince John IT., who in re, turn nominates three of it's fifteen M P.'s. At the time of the Austro Prusslan war the principality sided with Austria and mobilized an army of 100 of all ranks to share in the fighting. But Liechtenstein's army never smelt fire and Liechtenstein itself was quite overlooked in the peace negotiations at the end of the war. Fifteen years later Bismarck discovered that his country was still technically at war with this miniature state, and in strict accordance with the etiquette of such things pourpar lers took place and formal treaty o1 peace was signed between the two countries.

BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN
When Imported Into Patagonia and Argentina.

Some years ago the shepherds of Patagonia and Argentina imported a large number of Scotch collies into those countries to help herd the sheep. But imagination seemed to spoil the companionable, affectionate and intel. ligent dog from the Highlands. In two or three years his entire nature changed and he became independent, snappish, sly and disobedient. Bad treatment may have had something to do with it, but by twos and threes the collies rapidly deserted the flocks and took to the woods, where they soon became wild dogs
 They have increased so fast and become so fierce in both countries that not only do they carry off small animals and fowls, but have grown so bold that they do not hesitate to attack travellers even in broad day light. They travel in packs, and when hunted scatter to hiding places in the rocks. The Patagonian and Ar genuine governments have offered bounties for every wild dogs brush and while the war of extermination may deplete both national treasuries the only effect it has had on the col lies has been to make them keep to cover during the day Every shep- herd goes armed and keeps constant lookout, but shooting has not de creased their numbers. and poison has been tried without success, as they are too shrewd to eat anything set for them.

PECULIAR CHARM OF FRANCE
More Restfui Than Other Countries Is the Reason Given by Dls-
 tinsuished Writers.

It is impossible for anyone whc knows France, and has felt the charm of the country and it's people-and who has not?--to approach French problems in severely critical spirit The beautiful cities, the broad stretches of wonderful Corot land scape threaded by marvellous roads form the playground of travellers from other lands. No matter what is sought, there it can be found. The gay life of the streets, the opportunity for the spending of money for beauti ful things, the charm of art and mu sic, are offered to the guest of Paris Those who seek the quiet and freedom of plain or forest have not far to go and thousand places, each seeming more attractive than the other, make their appeal for a longer stay than the visitor can afford.
 The greatness of France is of so re cent date that one forgets it is not more distant. The whole country gives the impression of a quiet back water where one can put in for rest and enjoyment, and without discom fort watch the turgid stream of life in other lands as 1t rushes by. No other country suggests this feeling in such a compelling way; yet in these push ing times of modern material prog gress it is all counted as against her successful the international struggle for the trade of the world that prize which costs annually more blood and money than did the final political dis memberment of Europe Dav enport Whelpley in the Century.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
APRIL GARDNER

1. This is the time to start
onion sets. Have the soil as mel
low as for onion seed and plant
them three inches apart and from
two to three inches deep.
2. Sow peas, lettuce, radishes,
turnips, small carrots, onions fall
or winter celery, spinach, satisfy
and parsnips.
8. Set out early cabbage plants,
putting them in deep enough to
cover the stems. Remove about a
third of the tops before trans
planting. Cover them with news
papers every night until the wea-
ther becomes warmer.
/. Never set out plants of any
kind when the soil is muddy.
5. Asparagus beds can now be
started. If you wish to save one
or two years, buy the plants in
stead of sowing the seed. Plant
in heavily manured and deeply
ploughed soil. The roots. should
be set six inches deep and the
plants for a family garden should
be placed three feet apart each
way.
6. Burn up all rubbish around
the edges of the garden and in the
fence corners. Remember that
rubbish may harbor injurious IN
\
7. Get your hand and horse cul-
tivators in good repair for weeds
never wait upon any man.
