ships while all America joined in one grand hur- rah for a navy that admittedly one of the best the seven seas.
 The American navy is still among the best, but the ships that were fought by Dewey and by Sampson and by Schey are no longer figured ill the lineup that makes the great fleet under com mand of Rear Admiral Badger one of the most powerful fighting organizations the world has seen.
 Every one of the famous ships of 1898 is today officially admitted to be obsolete, and all of them put together would not be as powerful as is the giant superdreadnaught Wyoming, or the Arkan- sas. or the Florida, or the Utah. any one of which would be match for all the ships that fought under Dewey and Sampson combined. if such a test should be made.
 Just year ago the then secretary of the navy, George von L. Meyer, publicly called attention to the fact that the American navy had more than it's full quota of battleships whose day in the first line had passed and the places of which would have to be taken by modern ships of the Wyoming and Florida classes if the United States to retain it's position the worlds second naval power The other day the observa- ton of the exnaval secretary recalled by naval officer in New York; who took pencil and pad and, going back fifteen and twenty and twenty-five years. figured out just what the obso lete ships now adornng the naval lists originally cost the United States government
 It was so ridculously easy. the computation of that total value of famous ships that are ready
  astounding and when at last the navy man wiped his brow and announced the result of that little mathematical feat of his he had proved that the value of those ships some of them still less than dozen years old, reached the sturendous total of more than s100000,00O or, to be exact, $129,932,S14

The station is a confusion of trains and the lovely blue lake a mere crowded pathway for the white steamers which are forever em- barking or disembarkiag invading armies. It is amazingly easy to plan to visit Lucerne, but it is almost un- necessary you always find yourself there. And it is not worth while to plan not to come-somehow you always find it pleasant to be there, in Cosmopolis.
 To some visitors Cosmopolis, as one sees it on the Schweizerhof of Quai. may seem to be too preponderantfy German to deserve it's name. But it is only fair to Lueerne to remember that in Switzerland, which lies at least adjacent, and in the town itself, which is even closer at hand, is domiciled a very considerable German-speaking and indigenous population.

GaietY Girls as AnuIers.

Amusing stories formed a feature
of the address given by the Rev Fred
T. Patton, the son of the famous Dr.
Patton, at Whitefelds Tabernacle.
On one occasion during his 90
years service as a missionary in the
New Hebrides, he said, a parcel of
books arrived from home, and while
he was reading letter the native chill
dren got hold of an illustrated pa
Ter.
They were at once attracted by the
picture of some Gayety girls, photo
graphed in the act Of dancing with
their heels as high as their heads.
For some time the children discussed
the apparition, and then one bright
youth remarked: That's what the
missionary told US about last Sab

Home and School Gardens.

1t is a sign of the times that chill
dren are urged and encouraged to
plant gardens under their own win
dows at home and in the purlieus of
school buildings. Not SO very long ago
you could always tell school build
ing, not merely by the sinister and for
bidding architecture as of the prison
house, but by the abomination of des-
olation that prevailed around it. The
school yard was as bare as a cinder
track, on the theory that any grass or
flowers planted there would at once be
ruthless!y undertrodden. Nowadays
there is inculcated in school children a
reverence-easily convertible into real
enthusiasm-for growing things Of
their own planting, wedding, watering
and tending, from the seedtime to the
harvest. The $4,000 home gardens al
ready started under the general super
vision of thirteen teachers whom the
little gardeners may consult will carry
into every household the benefits of
the agricultural competition of the
plots cultivated side by side in the
school yard .-Philadelphi Ledger.

II WILL CD TO
WILSON THIS EVENING
Tariff According to Democratic Poll
Cy will be the Law
Tomorrow

Washington. Oct. 3.-The demo
cratic tariff revision bill probably
will be presented TO the president
this evening. The Senate at the end
OF a listless debate at $50 last nigh,
passed the conference report by a
vote OF thirty-six TO seventeen. only
four more than the necessary quor-
UNI OF the Senate.
Senators LaFollette. republican
and Poindexter, progressive. voted
for the conference report as they
did for the bill on its passage. and
Senators Ransdell and Thornton
democrats. voted against it as they
did the bill
Immediately after the passage Of
the conference report, acting on mo-
tons made by Chairman Simmons.
Of the finance committee, the Senate
rejected the Smith-Lever csmpro-
mise cotton futures tax amendment,
passed by the House Tuesday and
then receded from its own amend
ment, known as the Clarke cotton
futures tax plan. The effect of this
action is TO leave the cotton futures
question out of the tariff bill so far
as the Senate is concerned
The bill was returned TO the
House this morning. Al a confer
ence OF House leaders, the question
as to whether the tariff bill might
not go directly from the Senate to
the president was discussed. While
many parliamentarians held that
this course would be legal, Chair
man Underwood and Speaker Clark
decided that the House should take
formal action to recede from its cot
ton futures tax amendment. Such
action Will eliminate the subject
from the bill and the completed
measure can go to President Wilson
at once.
1t is thought at the capital that
the bill Will become law Saturday
Anticipating such conclusion TO
the tariff revision fight. the treasury
is busy making final pre-
paratiOns TO put into effect on the
day following the signature of the
bill by the President. 1t is expected
that millions OF dollars worth Of
goods, now held in bond.
will be withdrawn for distribution
in this country within two or three
days after the new tariff rates be
come effective

Besides disposal into a body OF

If the fertilizing value OF the
eftluent is to be made use of. then
vegetables and fruits for human con-
sumption must not be grown on the
land for fear of contamination by
disease germs. Nut trees and fodder
can probably receive the effiuent
with impunity. Truck gardens may
be fortified, however by subsoil
drains properly laid within a foot or
so of the surface of the ground.
If the effluent is small in quantity
a filter bed of course material is out
Of the question because of the neces-
sity for a continuous flow. A loose
sandy soil is the only recoures for
the small disposal system. Here the
intermittent flow is advantageous
and in fact, necessary.
Filteration thru two or three feet
OF sand very satisfactorily completes
the publication problem. The un-
stable. odOrous and germ laden sep
tic effluent is here oXidized, made

CITY HAS SET GOOD EXAMPLE
Movement for Home Gardens, Started
In Philadelphia, Enthusiastically
Taken Up by School Pupils.

The more than fifteen thousand
home gardens started in Philadelphia
under the general supervision of
teachers are beginning to carry into
each household the benefits of the
agricultural competition in the school
yards. This element of competition
is very important The zeal of every
child is fostered by the knowledge
that close at hand another youthful
amateur is striving to raise, if posi-
BILE. better things. Eventually this
must quite naturally lead into a larger
movement representing the interest of
the grown-up in civic development
and Improvement.
In the Quaker City the school board
IS urging not only upon high school
pupils, but also upon those of the
lower grades, a realization Of their
share of the responsibility in making
\ great deal can be done by our chill
dren in this direction if they will
make those little patches in front or
in the rear of their parents homes
more attractive by planting some
flowers or shrubbery: anything to
please the eye and beget cleanliness
Let US. then, go at it in the right
way. We will find ready response
on the part Of our children if the
school authorities will persist in de-
ing that which is done at Philadel-
phia Besides it is a sign of the
times that child are encouraged and
urged to plant gardens under their
own windows at home and in school
yards.
