done as follows: Secure from drug store a piece of blue 1itrnus paper then take 8 handful of the soil slight ly moistened and place the paper on it. If sour the paper will turn red. To correct such a condition lime should be used. Cover the ground with a thin coat of air-sIacked lime, which can probably be secured near by at small cost, and work this in well. The use of the lime, while not a plant food, will correct the acidity. and will improve the physical condi- ton of the soil.
 ands the location is in a section where severe freezing occurs, it will be found a decided advantage to give. the area. a heavy dressing of decorn- posed manure in the autumn, and be- fore freezing weather sets in spade. the land so as to turn the manure under and leave the soil in rough, 1uInpy condition so as to secure the benefit of the digestive action of the winter freezes in reducing the soils. This should be repeated annually at the North If the soil is light and sandy, a mulch of manure may be. spread over it in the fall and the spading delayed until spring.
 In localities where the soil does not freeze, the manure may be ap-s piled in the autumn and the soil re-. peatedIy spaded during the winter whenever it is dry enough to be work ed. The value of freezing at the North can to an extent be attained by repeated spadings at the south. the one general precaution which should always be observed is never stir the soil while it is wet.

WHEN IS GARDEN SOIL
 READY FOR PLANTING?
Average Backyard Soil May Get Good Results if Prepa- ration in the Spring.

Washington, March 12.-tWhen is the proper time for preparing to plant ones garden
 The United States Department of Agrfculture's specialist says that in the spring as soon as the soil has dried so that a handful when grasped in. the hand and gripped by the hn- gers will slowly fall apart upon being released, it is in a fit mechanical condition to prepare for planting. Clay or heavy soils should never be worked while wet More injury may be done by doing this than can be overcome in several years of careful culture.
 scribed above, the upper three inches should be made fine by the use of the hoe and steel toothed rake; all rub bish, stones, and clods should be re- moved and the surface made even, somewhat compact, and as level as the contour of the area will permit. It may then be marked off for plant. ing in conformity to the central plan of the garden. lE Much of the soil in the average back yard is not only poor in plant food and deficient in decaying vegetable matter, but it is hard and unyie1d1ng. Teachers who plan school gardens for their pupils also have similar condi- tfons to meet. Therefore, in order to get good results, careful attention must be given to the preparation of the soil.
 Soils which are naturally moist are likely to be sour and so not in the best condition for the crop. Whether sour or not it will be well to have the pupils test them which can be

The commanders of the victorious ship in the first naval battle between iron-cIad vessels was John Lorimer Worden, who was born in Sing Sing. N. Y. ninety seven years ago today. He entered the United States navy in 1894. In 1862, during the civil war, Worden was placed in command of John Ericson's iron-cIad Monitor. He arrived at Hampton Roads in March. shortly after the Confederate iron-clad Merrimac had proved it's superiority by sinking the wooden vessels Cumberland and Congress. Worden attacked the victorious Mer- rimac with his little Yankee cheese box, and a memorable battle, the first between iron-clad vessels in the history of naval warfare, was fought at Hampton Roads. The Monitor was victorious and the AIerrimac was badly damaged and Hmped away, abandoning the fight. Worden be- came a rear-admira1 in 1872. and was prominent in the navy until his re- tirement in 1886. He died in Wash ington in 1897. Officers of the United States navy are planning an appro- priate observance of. his centenary three years hence.

JUMPS OUT WINDOW
 TO AVOID SERVICE
 OF BENCH WARRANT
New York Attorney Climbs Down Ladder. While Sheriff
 Waits In House.

Jumping down an airshaft to es- cape detectives who were in an ad- joining room, Attorney Walter s. Peck of New York, yesterday rushed to the Grand Central station, took train to this city and surrendered himself to the criminal superior court rather than submit to arrest. The story of the lawyers dash for liberty was told by Detective Ryan of the New Haven railroad police, one of those stationed at Peck's home.
 When the bench warrant was is- sued by Judge Williams of the crtnai- nal superior court, Deputy She1iff -Donnelly took it to New York. Att torney Peck could not be located at his office so Detective Ryan and two New York city. detectives went to the lawyers home.
 They found the attorney in an apartm ent with two female relatives and he admitted his identity. Par don me a. minute and I'll be with you,'' he said as he stepped into the next room. The detectives waited a. few minutes for Peck's return and when he did not appear they rushed to the next room.
 An. open window told the story of the escape. The window opened on an airshaft and halfway down this was 8, ladder reaching to the ground. The women refused to say if the lad Qer was dAVVasyS ASpl tAASE6. 14e Q0- tectives were surprised when they learned when Peck had rushed to this city to give himself up.
 He is now at liberty under $1,oO09 bonds The state charges that he solicited Hugh Mooney, formerly of this city. to give false testimony in the suit Of Mary Horan against the New Haven railroad company, in which a Westchester county jury awarded Mxs. Horan SIP, 300 darn ages.

For over eight years, I suffered from

I would have such severe pains in
my back, every month, that would be
in bed two or three days.
At such times would be so nervous
that could hardly stand to have any

and the last three months l haven't
suffered any pain at all, and ! do not
have those awful nervous spells.
Had I only known Of this wonderful
medicine eight years ago, could have
saved many dollars, and days Of pain
and sorrow.
I advise every woman who has the
least symptom Of womanly trouble, to
take Cardui."
Lady Reader, have you any Of these

THE LAWS DELAY.

The people of Southeast Mis-.
souri, are a law-abiding and God.
fearing people, generous and
hospitable to a fault, and they
are getting heartily tired of the
frequent killings that have oc-
Cured during the recent years,
and equally tired of the laws de.
lay in bringing men charged
with the murder of a fellow hu-
man being to trial. And it is ar.
IDENTIFY hoped that the circuit
courts and other officers of the
law will in the future expedite
Chese trials. Many of the killings
have been over trivial affairs,
and others of them cold .blooded
and cruel. The feeling that
prompts one man to kill an.
other without entire provocation
should be stamped out, and must
be. The press and the pulpit
should tackle this grave question
and never relax their efforts until
this crime is lessened. Public
sentiment must fall in line. The
maudlin sympathy so often in
dulged in when a man charged
with murder, with a fair sem.
blance of guilt, should be cried
down by the community; and the
man who deliberately or with
trivial provocation kills fellow
being should be called just what
he is, a murderer. There is such
a thing as iustitiable homicide, but
in most cases the justification re.
quires spyglass and all the in
genuity and skill of we'll paid
counsel to find it. Give every
man chance to prove his limo.
crnce, but don't excuse the guilty.

THE GRAND JURY.

We are frank to admit that il
the grand jury is to be tampered
with, and if it is to be advised not
to return CERTAIN bills, then
it had just as well not be called,
unless Judge Sterling H. Nc.
Carly can find some way to keep
such influences away from the
grand jury and leave it free and
untrammeled to do it's duty, and
not to become tool to look after
certain matters and ignore
others.
That grand jury is needed
there can be no doubt, and, if
given a chance, it will find plenty
to do; but if its duties must be
dished out to it, and it must be
subject to the beck and call, ad-
vice and recommendations of
any clique, clan or set of men,
then it becomes a farce and more
than worthless, for that would
inject into its deliberations the
very things that should be
avoided.
The Herald is responsible for
the statement that there are
many offenses that are hard to
reach except through the action
