much as % to 80 per cent burs. This
means lower prices for the wool and
extra freight charges. With button
clover this trouble is of course elimi-
mated.
Button clover Also makes good hay.
For this purpose 1t should be cut when
most of the pods are still green but
we'll developed, and just before the
leaves begin to fall. IF allowed to be-
come more mature, many of the pods,
as we'll as the leaves, are lost in han
ding. A supporting crop Of oats or
barley or some other grain should be
sown with the button clover in order
to facilitate cutting. There are, how
ever, q number of other legume crops
that are more desirable for hay pro-
duction than button clover, so that its
use for this purpose will no doubt be
very limited. For green manuring the
value Of the new plant is about the
same as toothed and spotted bur clio
yer.
Button clover can be easily estab-
lished in pastures, for nothing more is
necessary than to scatter the seed in
the most favorable places. The work
ing of the soil prior to sowing will per-
haps aid In establishing q stand, but
except on good land this will hardly be
profitable. Ordinarily the most profit
able practice is to SOW the seed broad
cast and allow it to compete with other
pasture plants Where the winters are
mild. the clover should be Sown in the
fall, and if there are summer rains the
seeding should be done about the first
of September. Early summer seeding
in the cotton states is not advisable.

Bluff That Worked.

The whole world loves a circus. The
exceptions are so few that they need
not count. To make a bid for atten-
ton is the common method of forcing
men and women to a knowledge that
one is worth knowing. 1t drives men
to schemes and women to dress e1-
travagance. A man who had been Of
some social consequence in his city
accepted a business position in a larger
one and made ac%quaintances by his
assiduous attendance at the opening
of new plays. Only to the few did he
confess how insignificant were his
sleeping quarters or where he took his
meals. His excellent clothing and
his presence at theaters were taken
as an indication of prosperity that
would provide a good home; he was
content to be judged by his appear
ance since it put an end to loneliness.

At a special performance in New
York a scene was being offered from q
new play in which the principal male
character had occasion to quote the
"seven ages Of man" speech from
Shakespeare. He read the lines with
such telling effect that the audience
burst into prolonged applause, tempo
rarily stopping the action of the piece.

Button clover is q new pasture plant
which specialists in the United States
department Of agriculture are now adj
Yocating for use in the milder districts
of the Southwest and along the Gulf,
the South Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts. This plant will succeed, 1t is
said, wherever bur clover does well,
and it is to be preferred to the latter
In certain respects. Under favorable
conditions it produces more seed and
It has no Spines on the pod or bur. For
this reason it is particularly desirable
for ranges where sheep are p%astured.
The great loss Of wool occasioned by
the spiny burs of spotted or toothed
bur clover getting into the fleece IS
evidence, says Farmers Bulletin $50, q
new publication of the department on
this subject, Of the value of q species
with q %SpineleSs pod.
Button clover is as yet but little
known. in most parts of the United
States. In general appearance and
manner of growth it resembles the
toothed or California bur clover and
the spotted or southern bur clover. The
chief difference between it and these
two species lies in the burs. In the case
Of button clover these are large and
spineless, while the burs Of the others
are comparatively small and sr:ny. The
button clover pods ripen in early sum-
mer and drop from the vines. In their
ripened state they are then available
at any time as food for stock.
For the best results with button
clover, a growing period with no ex-

tremes of temperature is essential.
The plant is not adapted to sections
with q winter temperature below Is
degrees Fahrenheit, and it does not do
we'll in extreme heat. In the United
Stats it is believed hat it will do best
in asndrrow strip extending along the
entire length of the Pacific coast, in
southwestern Arizona and southern
Nevada, and along the Gulf and Allan
tic coasts MS far north as South Caro-
lima. A fairly well-draiIied rich loamy
soil is desirable, but tie crop can be
grown on almost any soil which con-
tains sufficient moisture. Under rather
arid conditions it makes a fair growth,
but in the dry foothill pastures of Cali
fornia it has done no better than the
common toOthed bur clover.
The principal value of the new plant
Is for pasturage. In the green state it
is readily eaten by live stock and, as
has been said, the absence Of spines in
the burs makes 1t especially desirable
on sheep ranges. This fact has been
recognized for some time in Australia.
In districts which produce an abund-
ance of spiny bur clovers, it has been
found that leeces often contain as

In California, where dry weather pre-
walls throughout the summer, the seed
may be sown at any time before the
fall rains begin. In California, also,
aud the other Pacific coast states where
bur clover is common, incubation Is
not necessary for the new crop. In
the southern and Gulf coast states,
however, incubation is recommended
except on land that has previously
grown bur clover. Mixing soil from an
old field Of bur clover with button clO-
yer seed is one Of the easiest methods
of securing incubation. Only enough
soil to dust the seed Is necessary. An
other method is, to scatter soil from an
old bur clover field over the area to
be seeded Immediately before sowing.
Sowing seed in the bur also seems to
insure incubation. If no suitable soil
is available for the purpose, inocula-
ton may be obtained by the use of ar
tificial cultures.
In comparison with the spotted and
toothed bur clover, button clover pro.
duces a large amount Of seed. The
harvesting Of it is rather difficult. how
ever, because the burS fall from the
vines SO easily.

"a" SympathiZe."

In the evening at Mercy hospital you
hear from all over the house the little
bedtime voices, and the sound blends
into something sweet and dear which
hardly forms itself into words. To you
who have not heard it, it would seem
the strangest sort Of music, coming
from all the wards and rooms and
balconies around you-on the lower
floor, on the upper, and sounding up
and down the stairs wherever you
might be. 1t is just the quiet little
chatter Of many, many children
ready for sleep. and the doctors and
nurses have heard it every night for
20 years, and they wonder why it is
with child love so ready to respond to
a call like that of little Helen Keller,
the crowded wards at Mercy and yet
so little known to those who say
Messenger.

New Flying Target.

To take the place of clay pigeons,
glass balls and similar flying targets
used by sportsmen in gun practice, q
small, propeller shaped device has been
brought out in France, says the Popu-
Lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t is made
Of steel and Is shot into the dir by
the strong spring of an instrument
which revolves 1t rapidly as re
leased. The object can be made to
ascend to a considerable height, and
then planes for some distance before
commencing to fall. As 500 as it Is
struck by a shot, however, Its rotary
motion stops and it falls to the ground.
Aside from the matter Of cost, an adj
vantage of the device is that it may
be carried in the pockes.

Indian Tribes of Mexico.

The YaQuis take their name from the
Rio Yaqui (Chief river), which flows
for 800 miles through the mountain
gorges of Sonora and finally empties

river the Indians make their homes of
reed and adobe, with roofs Of grass
and mud. The warriors are a we'll
proportional race, but they are prone
to overindulgence in the native drink,

negative among the men, the custom
of exchanging wives being 4 popular
practice of q not distant past. They

from time to time have been forced
into an unwilling alliance with their
more bellicOSe kinSmen.

PHYSICIANS TALK
 INCREASED FEES
Question Freely Discussed at Annual Meeting of New Britain Medi-
 cal Society Last Night

A question of much interest to the public was discussed last night at the annual meeting of the New Britain Medical society at the Hotel Bond in Hartford, dealing with physicians fees. Eighteen members of the so- ciety were present and at the discus sion which followed the annual ban quet many expressed themselves as favoring a revision upward in the matter of fees. pr. R. M. Griswold of kensingtOn, who was elected to succeed pr. M. w. Maloney of this city, led in the discussion. It was pointed out that everything pertaining to the profession has increased in cost. Medicines have gone skyWard since the European war broke out and surgical supplies are likewise affected as Germany, which was one of the chief sources of supply, is unable to ship goods under present conditions. This condition coupled with the claim that physicians charges are lower here than in any other city in the state were advanced as reasons for charging higher fees for medical at tendance but no action was taken. However, the question was not settled by any means and it is expected that before long a new schedule of charges will be announced.
 Many other matters of interest to the profession Were informally dis cussed at the meeting, Other officers elected are: Vice president, pr. H. T. Bray; secretary and treasurer, Dr. Frank Zwick; board of censors Dr. J. H. Potts, chairman ;Dr. T. B. Reeks and pr. P. w. Fox; executive commit tee, chairman, Dr. Arvid Anderson. chairman; Dr. J. l..

CATCH BURGLAR AS
 HE LOOPS SALOON
Stanley Smith, IS, Obtains But Forty eight Cents in Skritulsky'S
 Place-BOund Over.

Stanley Smith of Washington street, IS years old, was before Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning charged with burglary. He was arrested by Officer William c. Hart hiding in the cellar of John Skritulsky's Broad street saloon at 1:40 o'clock this morning. The ac- cused pleaded not guilty but declin- ed to make statement. He was bound over to the March term of the superior court in bonds of $500.
 As Officers Hart and James McCabe were passing the saloon at 1:40 o'clock they glanced into the window and saw Smith standing between the two cash registers. Leaving Officer McCabe to guard the front door, Off, fcer Hart went to the rear of the sa = loon and found the window broken out and Smith in the act of making an attempt to get away. Seeing the officer, he fled towards the front Of the store. Shouting a warning to his brother officer Hart climbed into the window but Smith disappeared. Re- turning to the outside, Officer Hart waited until Officer Storey, in re- sponse to Officer McCabe's whistle, arrived to guard the rear entrance. He then searched the building and found Smith hiding behind a beer keg in the cellar. Arrested, the youth said he was hungry as he had had nothing to eat in two days. He said he had been in this city about two months but could not find work.
 In Smiths pocket was one cent Hidden in beer case near where he had been hiding in the cellar was found fOrty-SlX cents. On a beer barrel near by were two cents more, sixteen pool checks and a match. Skritulsky told the court that in each of the three drawers to his cash registers he left twenty five cents last night. Two of the drawers had been opened and emptied.

New York, Jan. 5-The Greek
 steamer Thessaloniki was still afoat early today and sending urgent calls for help. A wireless message re- ceived by the Scandinavian-Americ line from Captain Geotsche of the steamship United States brought this
 information and also denied a belief that the crippled steamer had been entirely abandoned and that the cap tain and crew had been picked up by the United States.
 The captains message said: Have searched with full speed all night over vast areas around the five posi- tions 80 miles apart without without result, yet at a. m. I will continue
 the search. Doing my best The cap tain of the Thessaloniki sends urgent
 messages claiming that his engine and boiler rooms and bunkers are flooded
 with only little provisions left" The five positions'' spoken of in
 this message are those given by the Thessaloniki in the various messa ges she has sent since she was cast adrift by the breaking of the tow line by which steamship Patris was trying to haul her to port.
 The 300 passengers of the Thessa- | loniki were taken off that vessel by ! the steamer Patris, due here some time today The Thessaloniki has | been in distress at sea since Decem- ! Der 22 and has been sought by many

 broke in a gale.
 l Confirmation of the report that the | steamship Thessaloniki was still afioat
 and had not been abandoned was con-
 talned in a message received here to- 1 day from the captain of the steame Stockholm. The message said that | the captain of the Stockholm in re- | sponse to distress signals had headed 1 for the disabled steamer.
