PROPER HANDLING or . HOE
light In Weight. Essy to Use and
More Effective Than Any Other
Implement on Farm.
CBy L. NJ. BENNINGToNl

So many people have a horror of
using a hoe. II is the most comfort
able implement to use in the equip
ment OF a gardener or farmer. and 1t
is handy to use for so many purposes
that one cannot get along without it
Probably one reason that people do
not like the hoe is that most hoes ex-
plain at once how dull as a hoe" came
into proverbial use.
A dull hoe is certainly not a pleas
ant implement with which to work.
The good gardener win keep his favor
lite hoe filed to a sharp edge all the
time. II is impossible to grind q hoe
on a grindstone because the bevel
must be on the upper side of the blade
when 1t Is in use, in order to make
the hoe bite" into the soil.
File your hoe. making the bevel
about twice as wide as the thickness
OF the blade. Then keep 1t bright and
when you go out after weeds the hoe
slips through the soil so easily that
hoeing Is not much like hard work.
In hoeing. long. slow movement
should be made. II the soil is In good
condition. Simply SCOUTING" half an
inch of the top soil is enough to kiln
weeds and one can so over a lot OF
ground in one day IL the hoe is sharp
and bright and the strokes long and
smooth.
With a sharp hoe one can cut this.
ties. dock. dandelions and other nox.
ious weeds. with quiclness. dispatch
and ease. Ii is light TO handle, easy
to use. and more effective than any
other implement for many purposes.
In choosing a hoe. select one the
blade of which lies, not quite fiat on
the floor when you are standing erect,
with the hoe handle extending from
your hands when In working position
10 the floor. The heel OF the hoe
should not quite touch the floor from
this position.
Such a hoe will bite into the soil
easily. when IL is bright and sharp and
VIII work smoothly and effectively.
Sharpen the hoe as soon as IL gets
noticeably dull. This win be hard on
the hoe. but II saves muscle and hoes
are cheap. Carry n small fat file in
| your pocket and do not allow n nick
TO stay In the hoe minute after 1t Is
made.

YOUNG MEN WANT TO GO
UP TOO FAST, HE SAYS

New York, June 2O.-Gov. Martin H.
Glynn, in al address to the graduating
class of the College of the City of New
York yesterday, urged upon the 72
young men that each blaze his own in
dividual way in life.
John D. Rockefeller can't eat a
square meal" said the governor. "An-
drew Carnegie cannot spell. James G.
Blaine did his work while his frame
was wracked with disease. These men
overcame the disadvantages that were
in their paths. They filled the niche
they were able to fill. They were not
indifferent to the magic Of work or the
potency of drudgery.
"The great trouble with college men
of New York is that they want to fly
before they can creep; they want to be
100000 men before they are 3O-cent APP
prentices. I would also urge tina all
young men take an interest in politics;
/ have no patience with men who hold
themselves aloof from the political field
because it smells like saltpeter."

continue the present N~icaraguan gov
eminent in power n to show wheth-
er there was any relation between that
government and American bankers.
Mr.. Douglass explained that the peo-
Die of Nicaragua desired the ratifica-
ton of a treaty with such a guarantee
to prevent further revolutions and es-
tablish a permanent and stable govern
ment. He agreed that it would tend to
preserve In power for the present, at
least, the administration now in Office.
Senator Smith, of Michigan, brought
out that 81 per cent Of the stock of the
Ntcaraguan railroad nae been bought
by American bankers for 81, 600, 900. and
that the other 40 per cent has been
hypothecated for a like sum.

OFFICER OF EMPRESS
SAYS STEERING GEAR
Was OUT OF ORDER
Denial Issued That Owners Of Ship
Which Went Down With 1000
Souls Tried to Spirit
Witness Away.

Qubec. June &c. S. Haight. of
counsel for the owners of the collier
Storstad. which rammed and sank the
steamship Empress of Ireland in the
st. Lawrence river. with the loss of
more tina 1000 lives. today startled
the commission which is investigating
the disaster with a statement that
word had reached him that on the
night of the disaster the steering gear
of the Empress was disabled. He had
been so informed, he said, by Quarter
master Galway. of the Empress, about
to depart for England.
Lord Mersey. chairman Of the court
OF inquiry. Immediately took a hand in
the proceedings. and it was stated that
Golway would be called as a witness
this afternoon. Galway was on the
bridge at the time Of the accident and,
according to Haight's statement, said
the Empress stearing gear was
damned.
Captain Kendall, Of the Empress,
called to the stand. repudiated Col
ways story as did Chief Engineer
Sampson.
Captain Walsh, marine superinten-
dent of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
owners of the Empress. denied any at
tempts had been made to get Galway
out of the country.
The commission that is investigating
the loss of the Empress OF Ireland,
called as a witness today George
Smart. a passenger on the wrecked
steamship.
Smart confirmed Captain Kendall's
assertion h a the Empress was stand
ing still or practically stationary at
the time Of the collision.
John w. Black, a second cabin pas
senger on the Empress. testified brief
ly, then Lord Mersey ruled that IL
would be of no value to examine any
more passengers.
Robert Henry Brennan, second en-
gineer on the Empress, gave an account
of the signals received by telegraph
from the bridge.
The witness admitted that it would
take about an hour to gather full speed
from a dead stop. The throttle had
never been thrown wide open after
leaving Father Point, he said, as the
ship had not gained sufficient Roadway
to permit it.
Lord Lindell. senior third engineer OF
the Empress who had charge of the
engines on the starboard side of the
Mhfp corroborated the testimony OF
Brennan in regard to orders received.

night, efforts were resumed to arbi-
trate the differences of the factions.

pendent organization with no affilia-
ton with the Western Federation will
