"At this time of the year, provided the condition of the water is right," said a Toms rlyer man. ":;ny on along our part of the Jersey coast may get a lot of fun watching nard-ahell crabs in the river as they catch fish hawks. The water is just right at pres. nt -muddy after the rains and the fun is on. "fish hawks are common all along the coast, especially where there are rivers and shallow bays, and at this time of the year the hard-shell crcbs have a habit cf swimming as near the surface of the water as thoy can get. In swimming thus their claws come out of the water and make sufficient splashing to interest the shap-eyed hawks sailing watchfully high above. "The muddy water prevents the birds from discovering Just what is showing so much life below, but as it is in the water the hungry birds evidently suppose it must, of course, be fish, and every little while down will drop a hawk like a plummet. "Not a hawk ever rises without having pounced on and clutched what it thus dropped down after, but the captured crab is no sooner lifted out of the water than it reaches out with its claws and grabs the hawk by a leg or some tender part of the body, and the result is some of the queerest kinds of midair antics. "The hawk, smarting under the pinching the crab gives it and persists in. moves over, shakes its legs vigorously and twisti and turns in all sorts of ways In its effort to free itself from the crab. Somtimes the crab will hold on to the hawk lu the air until the bird has in its twistiugs and turnings fallen into the water, but generally he will loosen his claws after a while and come somersaulting back to his native element. "As there are frequently a half dozen or more hawks In the air at one time thus engaged La trying to escape from crabs that have caught them, and more getting ready to put themselves in the jjame fix, the fun is like a continuous performance. Not the least amusing part of it is the positiveness and suddenness with which a hawk, once free from its crab, takes itself away from the spot on vigorous wing, with angry phrleks of protest against the treatment it ha.s received. "Toward evening the fun is greatest, for that seems to be the time the crabs like best to do their surface swimming stunt, and the hawks are out in large numbers seeking their suppers." AIHMIIPS OF THK Pt TI RE. Science of Aeronautics Is Advancing: with Giant Strides. Aeronautical World. Wireless telegraphy has not yet reached the acme of perfection, although messages are readily sent and received by this wonderful system. And yet the world already takes the invention of wireless telegraphy as a matter of course. In this age of great achievement and discovery it seems as if nothing is too stupendous for man to undertake and that failure to evolve something useful as well as wonderful Is the exception, not the rule. "Some things that have been attempted have not been brought to perfection yet, but there is nothing discouraging in this. Obstacles serve only to spur human genius to renewed action and greater exertion. We travel by land and sea at a rate of speed that 100 years ago would have been called the result of witchcraft. We do not travel through the air with equal facility at present, but we may do so within a few years, as the efforts of men of brains along this line are certain to gain the mastery of the air as they have of the ar.d and sea. Those who scoff at the student of aerial navigation and scout the idea of success attending the efforts of the men who seek to discover the secret of flying may live to see the heavens dotted with ships sailing as piacuuy inrougn tne air as vessels noww - - a a 1 w a m - nayigaie me seas, in ine opinion or tne United States commissioner of patents the dirigible balloon or the aeroplane will be successfully evolved during the year 1904. This prediction may be based on false premises, but there can be no gainsaying the fact that great strides In the direction of aerial navigation wiU be made during the present year. The spirit of Inventors will be quickened by the offers of a large reward by th- St. Louis exposition managers for the most successful exhibition of a flying machine. There will be many competitors for this prize, and Yankee ingenuity will vie with foreign in an effort to produce an airship that will not only travel at a good rate of speed, with the wind, but be perfectly controllable. Treatment of Cuts. Pearson's Magazine. Cuts need the very promptest attention. Pressure la the only remedy for bleeding, pressure between the wound and the heart. It Is Important to know If the blood is flowing from an artery or from a vein, for if the former Is the ease, it is a matter of life and death to act promptly and efficiently. Blood from an artery Is light red color, and comes in jerks; from a vein it is dark purple, and simply oozes quietly forth. "Fingers first.'' is the golden rule when an artery is cut. and with fingers and thumbs the flow from the artery between the wound and the heart, must be absolutely stopped. Then a tourniquet must be applied, an arrangement consisting first of a pad to press on the artery, a bandage over the pad. and some means, sueh as a stick, with which Um bandages may ns twisted up so tigntiy that the artt rv rlrmly compressed. A piece of cork, a flat stnne. anything hard, will serve as a pad in emergency, and Nir a bnndagn, handkerchief, a belt, a tie almost anything will do. Looping the ends of th.- bondage outside the knot, a stick is passed through the loop, and twisted round and round just f ufficiently to stop the bleeding, not a whit more. Sen ring Satan.

I Esther Caylor, the fourteen-months-old daughter of Mrs. Mary Caylor, 1419 Yandes street, is lying at the point of death from the effects of poison which she took into her system by eating a neuralgia tablet which she found on a table In the home of a neighbor, where she had been taken by her mother. Mrs. Caylor was doing some work for Mrs. Nelson, who lives next door and had taken her child with her. The baby was playing around the room and the mother.who was busy with her work, did not notice the child pick up a box of tablets and put one of them in her mouth. Later she found the box on the floor and placed it where it would be out of the way of her child. In an hour or so the baby became deathly ill and Drs. Johnson and Cunningham, of the City Dispensary, were called. On arriving at the house, they found the infant writhing in agony and its condition was so serious that heroic measures were resorted to in order to save its life. They worked with the youngster for three hours before they felt that it was safe for them to leave. They report that its condition Is so serious that death may come at any time. The pill was in the child's stomach so long before It was discovered, they say. that U had dissolved and the poison was almt entirely absorbed through the digestive system of the little girl. The doctors stated last night that they hoped to pull the baby through without serious results, although she would be very sick for a few days. CANTRELL S INFORMATION. Police Think He Could Clear Ip Mysteries if So Disposed. Rufus Cantrell, the convicted grave robber, who, it is said, has given valuable information to the detectives in regard to the strange and unexplained disappearance of Miss Carrie Selvage from the Union State Hospital in 1900, stated yesterday when seen at the Marion county jail that he had a great deal of information which would be given to the detectives at the proper time, but none of it would apply to the Selvage case. He stated that he had been credited with saying many things which he never said, and claims to know nothing about the case of the alleged murder of Miss Selvage. One of the city detectives said yesterday, however, that he had no doubt that If he v.vro so Inclined Cantrell could make many explanations which would be of great value to the police department, and even hinted that Information had been given him by the grave robber about several of the darkest crimes that ever startled the eitizens of Indianapolis. He said he expected developments from clews in his possesion at the present which would clear up many of the mysteries that have been puzzling the police of the city for some time. It is the general opinion of the detectives and police that both Martin and Cantrell know many things which would be Important evidence in hunting down several crimes, and developments are hoped for within a few days.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) the trick laggart will be satisfied. It is anything to beat Holtzman. As the weeks go by Holtzman's chances are apparently waning. There is no denying that his partisans are alarmed at the turn affairs have taken. Republicans In a number of wards have been approached by the Holtzman crowd asking them to throw their influence with Democratic friends in Holtzmnn's favor. These have been told of the plan Taggart has arranged between McCullough and Moore. In the meantime Taggart remains silent at French Lick, but he is kept informed daily of how things are going.

Among hard luck stories the following, as related by W. T. Richards, a New York piano agent, deserves a place in the hall of fame : "What company I represent is better left out," said Mr. Richards In the Brown Palace Hotel. Anyhow, I am a piano' man, and once a year make a tour of our branch houses through the country. "I was in San Francisco for a week. Every day, of course, I was In our branch house. A woman who had been trying to buy an instrument for several months was in at least a dozen times. I became Interested in the sale, as she was hovering between our make and another. She had arrive.! at this point, but try as she would she could not make up her mind. Every art of our salesmen had been exhausted and on the final day one of our men was standing beside the instrument she liked best. "He had explained for the hundredth time its merits. He went over the tone, touch, style and other details again and again. He was playing with the keys, touching them lightly, when all of a sudden there was an explosion. It was like the roar of a cannon intermingling with the pealing of a hundred guitars. A piece of wood flew close to my head, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away we found the woman on the floor, in a dead faint. A bit of blood trickled down her forehead, while the salesman was pushed flat up against an iron pillar. A hasty examination was made and we found the piano had blown up the first incident of the kind, as far as I know. Some way or somehow it had been keyed up to the highest pitch and the strings had given way. Later we found that the piano hnd been (dose to a hot-air shaft. The wood had dried out and the strings had stretched Just that much more. "When we got the woman back to life again she started in to talk. She claimed she had been damaged for life and swore she would enter a suit against us at once. I managed to settle by giving her an instrument free of cost. We are out the damaged instrument and a second that cost us at least $300 to make. "The piano was a wreck, the top had been blown off and even one of the sides cracked by the force." Mr. Richards had a photograph of tin wrecked instrument. He is taking It bac to the New York factory. Scratched Face of Henry- VIII. New York Post. Some recent visitor to Hampton Court has deliberately scratched the race of Henry VIII as represented in the family group traditionally ascribed to Holbein. The act, of course, was that of some kind of monomaniac. The theory of one of the guardians of the palace, as reported in the London Daily News, is amusing, though one may doubt that the defacement is a tardy act of retribution by a member of the Antidivorce League. Says the representative of the News: "Well, the man who scratched the face of Henry VIII." said I, "must presumably have been intoxic ated, or half-wit ted ?" "Man!" he echoed, with a significant emphasis. "But what if I was to suggest to you that it wasn't a man?" "Not a man? Well, then, a child?" "No; nnr yet a child." "What!" I cried, an the memory of one of Bdgar Allen Poe's stories recurred to me. "You surely can t you don't really mean to suggest that it was an ape?" "No, and not an ape," chuckled the old m;in. much enjoying my amazement. "Then, In the name of all that's mysterious, whom or what do you suspect?" "A woman," he solemnly answered, wagging a wise foreiinger in my astonished face. "A woman!" I exclaimed, "but whv? " "Ah," said he, slowly shaking h V. "head, "to ..u snd me what Hnry VIII did may H "t aeaai a matter to bother about now. It's past and done with, any way, lad we wouldn't think to bear any personal malice. But women well. sir. they're made differently to men. They don't f"ret. Vom take it from me. sir the scratching of Henry V lU'fl face was the work of a woman." I"n reasonable. Washington POM.

HAVENS' & GEDDES Importers and Jobbers of Dry FARM AND GARDEN j& INTERESTS The Growing of Onions. Country Gentleman. The characteristic agricultural development of the past few years throughout the United States has been the extension of specialty farming. LYrtain crops have conic to be grown more and more as specialties, and less and less as catch crops in a system of mixed husbandry'- This development has naturally been most strik ing in the Eastern States, but there ha been more of it in the West than has beta comonly supposed. In most cases it is an expression of intensive agriculture, but this is not always the case. One of the most striking specialties, and one of the earliest to be developed, is the onion crop. One would not suppose that the vulgar, malodorous onion was so important a crop commercially until he looks at the market reports, or until he sees the large fields devoted to this crop in many different States. Theoretically the onion ought to be a crop for the Southern States, inasmuch as it requires a fairly long season and a considerable degree of heat to bring it to perfection. Experience has shown, however, that the best onion-growing regions are usually to be found in what we think of as the Northern States. One of the most famous sections is in the Connecticut Valley and another is in the neighborhood ot Greeley, Col., both distinctly Northern localities. In fact, according to the writer s best recollection, there tre not many heavy crops of winter onions grown for storage south of Philadelphia. Of course, bunch onions and Bermudas come in a different class. Perhaps one of the reasons why onion growing has succeeded in the North is the thorough cultivation and fertilisation which have been given. This crop demands both. The soil must be naturally good, of just tne ngni mecnanicai itiiuie, abundantly supplied witn plant ioou, anu finally it must be cultivated in the most thorough manner possible. These conditions and practices of Intensive agriculture are found better developed In the Northeastern States than in any other part of the country, and that development accounts for the ttne crops of onions grown in this section. In the section from Chicago westward, the Colorado onion holds pre-eminence. On the irrigated soil about Greeley, Loveland and Fort Collins, Col., great quantities of onions are grown of the very highest quality. In fact, our attention was turned to this Fubject at this time by a very interesting bulletin issued by Professor Wendell Paddock, of Colorado, setting forth the methods In use in that country. Rotation is not very commonly practiced in onion growing. Professor Paddock- says that it is not usual In Colorado, and our observation shows us that It is not more so In the Connecticut Valley before referred to. in the Eastern States ferllsatlon is higher, however. Barnyard manure is used to some extent, but commercial fertilizers, muriate of potash, ground bone, dried blood and cotton-seed meal are extensively used. To be sure, they are not used so much as they ought to be. but still they are not altogether neglected. Good cultivation goes with the growing of onions everywhere. Some weeding and thinning by hand seem to be almost always necessary, but the bulk of the cultivation is now given with hand wheel-hoes. These are now so well made that the work can be done rapidly and very efficiently. Yellow Globe Danvers, which was developed in eastern Massachusetts, is now the standard market variety. The old Red Wethersfleld Is still grown to some extent, but it is by no means popular. It does not yield so well in most cases as the better and more popular Danvers. The variety known as Pritzetaker has been considerably grown in some places, but has not taken the lead. In planting onions much care must be exercised in securing good seed. The bulk of the onion seed Is grown in the two States of Connecticut and California. The California seed la always much cheaper and usually better In appearance, being larger and plumper. On this- account growers are apt to select It when planting. It is the usual experience with growers, however, that considerably better crops can be secured from the Connecticut-grown seed. Thev are therefore willing In most cases to pay a dollar a pound for it as against 50 cents a pound for the California s t oclc. Onions are now kept In large quantities in cold storage. In fact, they are one of the most convenient of all storage crops, and one of the easiest to carry over successfull t. There Is usually a good margin of profit in holding them until spring, although this rule was sadly reversed this year. Like all high-priced crops and all difficult specialties, onion growing is attended with manv risks. The profits are sometimes very large, and at other times the growers sre obliged to stand heavy losses. Crimson Clover. Philadelphia Record. The value of crimson clover is not as a food for stock, but as a orop to be plowed under in the spring. Clover derives a large share of Its nitrogen from the atmosphere. through the agency of minute organisms, and. as nitrogen is the most costly fertilizer that the farmer roust procure, the use of crimson clover Is a cheap mode of adding fertility to the soil. It covers the ground in the winter and prevents loss of soluble plant food that would be ca tried away by rains and snowe on bare soli, henc it not only adds nitrogen to the soil, but prevents the loss of that existing therein, and so rapid Is Its growth in early spring that it is usually high enough to be plowed under by the time corn planting must be done. Farmers who have grown ryo know that rye covers the ground and provides late pasturage for stock when other green food is scarce, and It also gives early green food when winter is past. Crimson clover will kep pace with rye In that respect, betng the first to push ahead in spring and pro vide early green food should It be required, but the main object in growing crimson clover should be that of turning it under, as It is more valuable for that purpose than any other crop in comparison with th- cost and period of time during m-hich sack a . :; ij secured. Every piece of land that contains no crop should be serdl MtTB to crimson clover. Failures have resulted with crimson i loi r even when the renditions were ap:arentlv favorable, but ore of the errors in which farmT.i fall is that of seeding it down too late in the year. This has b.en due to the extravagant .laims in Its favor. It Is safe to admit that farnv-rs have had fairly g-ej crops of crimson clover after sowing the seed on corn land, after the corn was "laid by." but as a rul the weeds, birds and oth-r drawbacks do not promise good results tinker -uch method- The proper time to seed crimson clover 1 :st as soon as the dry portion of the umn.er is over. It is Iter to seed about the ist of August than t delay until a later time, snd the ground tthould be plowed and carefully harrowed, the seed to be brusNd In, using the same quantity of seed as of red clover. If the fcellrg n preMfbT done fhere will be a fair start, and the fields will be uniform. The plants will become w!l rooted befors winter, and will have made 'ifflctent growth before !d w-atli r .(- ., prevent being thrown ut by fro.st. Early In the

The Makinat of n Datrysnan. W. A. Cheever. in Tribune Farmer. My successful dairy experience began one hard winter soon after I began housekeeping. There was little call for farm labor and pi ices were low. I had little to do with, and had to live cheaply or run in debt, which I did not like to do. I had a chance to hire a cow that was giving a moderate mess of milk. I paid a certain price per week for her keeping (I do not rememln r just how much), but I did the milking, and my family lived largely on the milk of that one cow through the entire winter. Part, Indeed most, of the milk mas set for the cream to rise, and from the cream I learned how to make butter. There were many mistakes made, but I aas getting experience all the time that was worth all it cost. Some butter was sold, which paid for other kinds of food purchased. The skim milk was u - 1 in various ways, as drink and for cooking. I am satisfied that few people realize the value of milk as an article of food. "That winter's experience started n: t a dairy farmer. Later I hired more cows; and, as confidence was gained snd my butter became In demand, I increased the dairy till I finally bought s farm and the stock and made dairying the leading business. 1 was never satisfied unless I thought my b-itter was as good as could be made, so 1 learned from others all 1 could, both by woid of mouth and by reading th writings of successful dutrymen. 1 have found that is is not necessary to depend on fashionable breeds of cows, but really good ones are worth paying something ex tra ror. I have found, too, that it is b tter for a butter dairyman to raise his sto k than to depend on buying. I would feel wicked If I should sell for a veal a hclf- r calf from a good dairy cow. I have to u that good butter can be made without much patent machinery if one will attend to all the details and at the right Uaat 'I have found that In every village th re are families who would be glad to get tBBBsT butter of a farmer regularly every week, provided it were uniform in quality, snd that they would pay something above market prices for the certainty of being well served every time without fall. Butt, r dairying should build up a farm as no fertility Is sold in fat of any kind. The sklmmilk may be maie to pay in raising young stock, nearly ns much as farmers net for milk sold to contractors for the city trade. Making milk for the wholesale trade, it seems to me. Is overdene. for the reason that farmers are not Inclined to learn thoroughly the trade of marketing first -class butter. I know that skill is require!, but so it is In all businesses that pay more than cemmon laborer's wages. I am not afraid that the making of extra-good butter will be overdone for a long time yet. But he who would succeed must read, study, tiiink and be constantly striving to keep up to the highest standard." The Life of a Seed. Harper's Weekly. The United States Department of Agriculture is making experiments for the purpose of determining the extreme vitality of seeds. Over a hundred species of plants have been packed lu a soil consisting of dry clay Inclosed in pots, and buried at varying depths underground eight sets at a depth of six inches, twelve at a depth of twenty, and a third set of twelve at a depth of three and a half feet. At the end of one. two, three, five, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, forty and fifty years a set from each depth will be exhumed and tested. The results of the experiment are likely to be of extraordinary value to agriculturists, both commercially and scientiilcally. Incidentally, it may be recalled that authentic cases are on record which prove that certain seeds have the power of sproutr lng alter having ben burled for long periods of time, reliable tests having shown that twelve cut of twenty-one species have the power of germinating after twenty years. Went worth's Way with Sheep Dos. Upland Letter In Indiana Farmer. A friend was telling me a day or so sgo that when a boy he lived near Old "Long John" Wentworth, of Chicago, who at one time kept a number of sheep on his lands near that village He said that once when he had some of them killed by dogs he had hla help go round and see some of the dog owners and they all reported that they "kept their dogs In the house." "Very well," says John. "It may be wolves, snd we'll put out poison," and he did so, but got dogs galore, as they were up against the deadly stuff in the middle of the night, when they should have been in their accustomed places holding down the bed clothes to the feet of their humane owners. "Old John" went further, and if the wolves were In It. got them also. Catching a young one, he put It with some dogsnavlag the mange, inoculating It thoroughlv. He turned it loose snd it wasn't long until they, too, were "good" dead ones. Farm Xotes. Aroostook County, Maine, is called the potatoes' paradise. This year the crop will range from 3.6OU.O00 to 4.000.0OQ bushels, of which the greater part will be shipped away. Last year the price averaged ll.To a barrel. Some men will use the hoe so that the top layer of soli is cut off clean and gathered up with the weeus that may have been the chief object of the noelug. The surface remaining will be hard and smooth quite the reverse of what H should be. Cultivation should mean a stirring f the surface, making it fine if this be done in loamy soil shortly after a ralu it will not break Into large lumps. The green crop plowed under is composed of three chief parts. About four-fifths of it is water, or from ) to f per cr.t ; about one-fiftieth of the whole, or 2 per cent . is torn posed of what Is called tho ash Ingredients, and the rest Is the socalled organic matter. This organic matt r. which Is really the most useful part of the green manure, makes up. therefore, about a twelfth of the whole mass under the ground. In the "good old times." says th N w England Farmer, farmers very often kept their wool for a considerable time, sometimes for years, waiting for a rise In price. Ther Is no temttatlon in thee times t. As this, because there Is no reason to suppose) that wool, low as Its price Is. will eei much above Its present level Hut it was always a somewhat risky business to -i wool unless It was put gtray with . great care. The safest 4sn. undouhl dly. Is to dispose of each clip at current prices. Hungarian grass Is a g"l crop to sow late for fodüVr.
