Provides severe penaItIe. for Treason.

Denver.-Treason against the state
should not always be punished by
death, in the opinion OF majority Of
the members of the lower house of
the Legislature, and they amended Ar
dourel's bill, imposing a penalty for
treason, by making it read that the
jury-as in firstdeg zee murder cases
shall decide whether the punishment
shall be death or life Imprisonment.
The measure was introduced, with sew
eral others, following the discovery by
Ardourel during the coal strike that
the statutes OF the state do not pro-
vide any penalty for treason. although
1t is defined and denounced by the
constitution. After changing the pen
atty clause, the House passed the
measure on second reading. Represen-
tative Bruce. declared that the Legis-
lature was exceeding its power In
passing the bill; that the state con-
stitution alreauy defined treason and
gave the Legislature no power to fix
a penalty. He said power to fix the
penalty was vested in Congress alone.

San Jose scale is one of he worst
pests attacking orchard trees IN this
country. 1t is extremely important
that orchards should be so treated as
to exterminate the scale from them
and prevent its spread to surrounding
orchards.
Undoubtedly the best remedy for
this scale is a thorough treatment
with lime-sulphur mixture late in the
winter or early in the spring, before
the buds begin to open on the trees.

The lime should be slaked in warm

ORCHARD
GLrANINGS
WINTER WORK IN ORCHARDS
When Ground Is Frozen Is Favorable
Time for Hauling and Spreading
Manure-Add Bone Meal.

The winter when the ground is
frozen hard is a favorable season for
hauling out with cart or sled the ma
nure needed. In spring the ground
Is too soft to haul over and other
work is too pressing; the result is
thls important matter is put off for
another year. The manure should be
hauled and spread evenly over the
ground. DO not place directly around
the trunks; 1t only affords a harbor
FOR mice and insects. The manure
should be rotted and from granted
cattle or horses. Straw and corn
stalks mixed with little animal ma
hure' is poor stuff and is only valuable
as mulch. This kind of manure
should be hauled out to the orchard
and piled. Mix a half.bushel of raw
bone meal in each two-horse wagon
load of manure as it is piled and make
a compact heap, which will soon rot
down, and, when well rotted, should
be spread. About one to two bushels
Is the proper quantity tor each large
tree. The manure should be spread
In a circle as far out as the branches
extend.
Practical growers are now using
from 400 to 500 pounds of animal bone
and potash fertilizer per acre. The
fertilizer is drilled in with rye IN the
early fall, the rye is turned under IN
April-for green manure. This meth.
cd is found to be the cheapest and
best method of fertilizing the orchard.

Protect Grapes From MIidew

To protect grapes from mildew
which may or may not attack them
they should be busted or sprayed
with sulphur. For few vines or the
family vineyard good way is to put
the sulphur in a piece of burlap or q
grain bag and shake the sulphur over
the vines. A sprayer which will
force the sulphur among the leaves
more completely is Of course more
effective.

Fruit for Home Use.

In pruning fruit trees for home use
let there be no varieties of inferior
quality selected. There is nothing too
good for the home use. It is a pleas.

and to take an interest in getting
them started in the home garden and
orchard.

Grape rot is fungous disease. The

PLANTS HAVE MENTAL LIFE
Scientific Discoveries Concerning the
Lower Forms OF Living Matter
Are interesting.

That plants are very much alive to
their surroundings, and respond to
stimuli in q manner quite similar to
animals Is an old story now. Their
constituencies differs in quantity rath-
er than in quality from that of man.
If one chooses to take a broad view OF
Psychology, that science may be held
to include a sub-department dealing
with plant sensations and intelligence.
Vegetables can certainly feel, and at
ter a fashion are endowed with q con-
seriousness of their own; they may be
scared. and In primitive, protoplas-
mic way show signs of reasoning. To
press the analogy somewhat, plants
show wide variations in intelligence.
SO we may posit a cultured as well as
a stupid class among them.
This juggling with words, however,
belongs properly to the romance de-
partment OF science. The mental life
OF plants is, In the ordinary under
standing of that phrase, a purely sub
jective phenomenon with the human
observer. Its use is justified, perhaps,
for the purpose of awakening popular
interest In these manifestations of the
lover forms OF living matter the
more particularly as the study OF such
phenomena is likely to help us in I'M
rayeling and explaining the compli-
Gated mental processes of the human
brain.

Children OF Sick Mothers.
Many a mother who has been urged
+, to submit to an operation to restore
her to the health which is necessary
for proper care OF her family has been
distracted at the thought of being
obliged to go to a hospital and leave
her children without proper care dur
Ing her absence. Especially is this
true among the very poor, where
most Of the relatives. male or female,
leave to go out to work, or. perhaps.
have large families of their own to
feed.
To meet this emergency an excel.
lent charity is being financed by some
wealthy women in Gotham, who have
established q nursery where young
sters ranging from q few months to
five or six years can have trained
care while their mothers, with easy
minds. are trying to regain their own
strength.

CAVE FULL OF SKELETONS.

Gruesome evidence of an awful
tragedy of the past, a century, per-
haps two centuries ago, was revealed
last week when a party of Glover
Greek boys came upon cavern full
of human bones and skulls. The boys
were Will and George Miller, sons Of
G. A. Miller, and lad named Hess.
The cavern is simply a cleft or cash
in the lava rock and is located at the
top Of lava knoll situated in the
midst Of an old alfalfa field that has
been cultivated for years, located
about ten miles northwest of Bliss.
The skeletons were in plain veiw
from one standing on the top of the
knoll and it would appear strange
that they have never been discovered
during all the years that the field has
been cultivated. The boys reported
that there were bones as far back in
the cavern as they could see. They
brought out ten perfect skulls and
from the fragments of others they
saw and the number of bones, they
thirty skeletons in all. Some of the
skulls were small, evidently those of
children. Some of the forearm bones
were still encircled by rude bracelets,
made of copper, showing crude at
tempt at engraving. It is not reported
whether any implements were found.
Who composed this party, how they
met death, and when, are subjects
upon which to speculate 1t is pre-
sumed that it was a party of Indians
men, women and children, fleeing
from some hostile war party, and
that refuge was taken.in this cavern
ON tile knoll because of it's command
ing position, affordinga view of al
the surrounding country. Evidently
the entire party was oyertaken anc
massacred. 1t Is simply one of til,
numberless unwritten tragedies o

NEED ONLY DEFINITE RULES
Really Little Seems to Stand In the
Way Of the Creation Of uni

If an editor should print bad Eng
iish he would lose his position. Many
editors are using and printing bad
methods of graphic presentation, but
they hold their jobs just the same.
The trouble at present is that there
are no standards by which graphic
presentations can be prepared in ac-
cordance with definite rules so that
their Interpretation by the reader may
be both rapid and accurate. It is GER
tain that there viii evolve for meth
DDS of graphic presentation a few use
full and definite rules which will cor
respond withsthe rules of grammar for
the spoken and written language. The
rules of grammar for the English lam
guage are numerous as we'll as COM
pick, and there are about as many ex-
ceptions as there are rules. Yet we
all try to follow the rules in spite OF
their intricacies. The principles for q
grammar of graphic presentation are
SO simple that a remarkably small
number of rules would be sufficient
to give q universal language. It is
interesting to note, also, that there
are possibilities OF the graphic presen-

FLOWER MAKES GOOD FOOD
Mahua, Indian Product, Has Been
Found Of Much usefuIness--ls
Being Cultivated.

It is estimated that in the central
provinces of India alone 100000 OF
the native people use the mahua flower
as a regular article Of food. Though
found in purely wild state In many
parts of India the value of the flowers
and fruit has caused 1t to be brought
under more or less cultivation. The
economic value Of the tree lies chiefly
In its edible flowers and oil-yielding
seeds. The flowers are eaten extern
sively while fresh, but generally
speaking they are dried thoroughly
and cooked with rice and other grains.
Sometimes they are completely dried
and reduced to a powder, and In this
condition are cooked in round cakes
and mixed with variety of foodstuffs.
Mahua is extremely sweet, and the
ability to eat and digest 1t must be-
acquired. The art of distilling these
flowers is a very ancient one. For the
manufacture of spirits the flowers
when dried are sold to village distil-
lers or to the government distilleries.
The flowers are immersed in water
for about four days; they are then
fermented and thereafter distilled. re
the distillation has been carefully car
Fied out the spirit thus produced Isl
not unlike good Irish whisky. At first
it has a strong, smoky and rather
