Discovering the Real Mexico.

Some OF the correspondents with the
army at Vera Cruz are acquiring a
knowledge of Mexico which they are
imparting to their readers to the bene.
fit of the public. They are learning
that cities founded by the conquering
Spaniards before jamestown or Ply
mouth began are not mere adobe vii
lagos, but are INTELLECTUALLY reminis-
cent of Spain in it's heroic age. One
correspondent admits that all the pub
lie buildings in Vera Cruz are good

have at home"
If the scribes to whom real Mexico
is Il revelation keep on with their jour
neyings they may come to Puebla and
see the great professional library Of
one hundred thousand volumes at

City of Mexico there are many struc.
lures that delight travelling architects.
Mexico is not all "militaristas' and
poems" though its trouble has always
been too many Of the former. There
are cultured people in Mexico who find
in culture a refuge from the turmoil
of their disturbed republic.-BostoD

Quite True.

The vicar of an English mining vii
lage sent a pair Of boots to the cob
bler's for repairs, but Bill, who had
been imbibing rather freely, felt no
inclination for work, so the boots were
not touched that day. Next morning
his nerves were rather shaky and he
longed for "a hair OF the dog that bit
him" His own boots were rather dir
ty. so he thought there was no harm
in putting on the parsons, which he
accordingly did, and turned off into the
village pub. for a big "reviver." He
had not gone very far when whom did
he meet but the vicar. who said:
Il SEN my boots down for repairs,
William. Are you not finished with
them YETI"
"Wey, mistor," answered Bill, calm
ly, they're not mended yit, but they're

HYPNOTISM FOR THE AILING
Famous French Physician Claims to
Be Able So to Cure Many Of the
Ills of Mankind.

DR.. Bertillon of Paris asserts that
psychotherapia, or ~soul-culture, is the
medicine of the future.
He does not put his patients into
hypnotic frances, but places them in
an environment which creates an ap-
petite for sleep. He invites them to
repose on their beds and think of
nothing. Then he leaves them, and
they gradually succumb to the tick
tack" of a metronome.
When a patient is in a hypnotic
slumber, if it is desired that he shall
be cured of a tendency to excessive
indulgence in alcohol. the psychother-
apist suggests to him that he cannot
raise a glass of absinthe to his lips,
and repeats the suggestion until the
prohibition is so engraved upon the
brain that if the patient would he
could not do so.
DR.. Bertillon is frequently consulted
by those who have had unhappy love
affairs, and 1t is said that through hyp-
notism they obtain release from their
unrequited passion.

GOLDEN TEXT-''The Son of man Is
rome to seek and to save that which was
lost" Luke 1910.
The golden text Is a great summary
Of the meaning and the essential pur-
pose of all Of our Lords activities.
Each lesson Is an illustration Of this
simple promise. In them we discover
chiefly our Lord In his work Of pre-
pairing his disciples to share with him
In this work.
Lesson l. The observation OF mans
attempt to get the best seats with the
consequent abasement, calls forth the
parable of the great supper. Therein
we are shown mans enmity against
God as revealed by his contemptuous
treatment of Gods overtures Of
grace. The rebuke and the parable
reveal Gods willingness and mans re-
fusal. In all this our Lord was seek
ing these men.

In the matter of fertility orchards
are more thoroughly neglected than
any other part of the farm. Light
sandy soils, also heavier soils, which
have been intercepted till the fer.
tility has become exhausted show
splendid results from fertilization.
The most essential elements to pro.
duction of fruit are nitrogen, phos.
phoric acid and potash. Roughly speak.
ing. nitrogen encourages growth. Pot
ash is essential to the development of
the fruit and also Is associated with
the development of flavor In the fruit.
Phosphoric acid is essential to the
proper ripening Of the wood and
fruit. Lime is sometimes employed
for its secondary effect, as it assists
In the liberation of plant food.
Barnyard manure Is more gene rally
used than any other fertilizer. Where
plenty of 1t can be had, commercial
fertilizer will not often be necessary.

TIME FOR ORCHARD SPRAYING
OrchardIst Should Make Purchases
and Plan Ahead for Spring and
Summer Work Among Trees.

| tBy r. l.. WASHBURN. Entomologist.
University Farm, St Paul. Mimi
Any time before the buds begin to
open. fruit trees may be thoroughly
covered with one to ten mixture Of
lime sulphur. The commercial mix
ture is preferable to the usual home
made compound 1t will not only kill
fungus diseases, but also destroys the
eggs of plant lice and much of the
scale which may infest the trees.
The summer spraying campaign
should be planned now and materials
purchased accordingly Arsenate of
lead should be purchased for mixture
with lime sulphur for later spraying.
This combination spray will kill biting
insects as well as fungus diseases, and
should be applied four times First,
just as the buds are swelling; second,
just after the blossoms fall; third, ten
days after the second application,
probably about the last of July; and
fourth, ten days after the third appli.
cation. These Sprayings are intended
for the cooling moth. and plum cur
culio as we'll as other similar insect
pests. For these four sprayings. lime
sulphur should be mixed in proportion
of one part to thirty-five or forty parts
of water.
Good spraying material is as impor-
tant as the proper spraying. Make
careful inquiries of your local dealer
and secure catalogues from as many
as possible of the reliable manufactur'
ers of spraying machinery, in order
that you may have as great variety
as possible from which to select. The
same practice may be followed in the
purchase of insecticides and fungi
cides.
