THE PUBLIC. Something for Sharks in All Lines of Business to Prey Upon. “You must remember,” said the man who was ar%umg with great volubility and self)—lqpp’)’fi)va , “that we owe a duty to the public.” L “Who is the public?”’ inquired Mr. Blykins, abruptly. E “Why—er—the masses, you know; the general populace.” . “No,” said Mr. Blykins, with em%hasis, ¥vou got the wrong idea. The public is something to be roped in; to be gouged; to be walked over. Te the sugar trust the public is a great congregation of confectionery consumers. TFo the beef trust the publicis a vast menagerie of ecarnivorous bipeds. To the politician it is a collection of persons who have influence at elections; to the theatrical manager, a erowd of people™in front of the box office eager to get ri(f’of money; to the street car conductor, a lot of creatures who ought to be made to step lively.” ! “You think the public gets imposed upon all around ?” . “Yes. It doesn’t deserve any better, and retribution is always waiting. The man who imposes on the public in one respect lapses back into the general outfit in something else and is imposed on in his turn. It’s a heartless business all the way through. One %Vreat and elaborate scheme of im{)osition. Vhat people ought to do is to hold primaries in all parts of the civilized world and send delegates to The Hague to see if they can’t discuss something like a disarmament scheme by which the people of this earth can be persuaded to quit imposing on one another.—Washington Star.

PLEASED THE DRIVER.

The Stout Lady \V:hs Less a Burden to Him When She Was ~ Least Obliging."

One of the most delightful women in New York is one who dissarded her waist_line years ago. She is built on the order of the tub, but she has a genial and accommodating disposition and laughs heartily when she teils this story on herself: ; She had been to the Catskills for a few weeks, staying at one of those mountain top houses. that it takes you four hours to drive “Y to and half an hour to come down from. She was met at the nearest railway station, she and haif a dozen others, by a stage that set off up the mountain road. 1t was hot and the stout lady *had a kind heart. She pitied the horses and as the road grew steeper she voiuuteered to get out and walk. The driver helped her down and she trudged along as far as she could. Then she was helped into the stage again and at the next steep grade she insisted on being helped out. She had returned to the carriage another time, when they ‘came to a still steeper stretch of roadway. ‘l'he stout lady was just too tired to walk another sten.

“Well,” she said, “I’'m not going to get out azain. d’m too tived.” Tiie driver turned to her with a look of gratitude. _ “Fhal’s all right?? he said. “Set still. T'd a lot rather haul you than heft you in and out so often.” .

“And he “hauled” her to the very steps of the hotel.—N. Y. Sua. > »

Where a 2 Gooed FPistel Is Admired. Hon. William Wortham, long state treasurer of Texas, was in a New York jewelry store one day when he noticed a showcase filled with splendid jeweled revolvers, with silver and go!d grips and chased barrels, having precious stones set into the butts. ‘ “Lemme see one of those guns,” he said to the clerk. : “Which one, sir?”’ : The gold one with the big ruby in the handle.” : The clerk took it from the case. It was marked "$3OO, and it looked even worth more. The Texan took it tenderly in both hands and held it admiringly up to the light. Then drawing himseif up to his full height, which was six feet and a half, -he rested the revolver upon his left elbow, crooked for the purpose, and looked over the sights down the long store. Those persons who saw invcluntarily dodged. “Say,” said Mr. Wortham, with quiet but. intense enthusiasm, @s he returned the weapon, “if I was to wear that gun down in my state the people would be falling down on their knees h?gginTg to be killed with it!”’ —Chicago Evening News. :

Taimage and the Compositor.

“Many _ years ago, when ‘my sermons first attracted the attention of city editors,” said Dr. Talmage in a recent conversation, “you reporters used to make me fume and fret, but since I have come to know you better I have transferred my wrath to your adversary, the compositor. My eyes were opened when, after annoying blunders in print, I determined to report my own sermons for a certain New York morning paper. It chanced that the first time I reported myself I was preaching a sermon on the Penitential Psalms, in which sermon I said, with emphasis: “*You will notice that!in these verses the name of God does not appear once. Is not this significant?’ “Calm and confident that this time the sense of my sermon would not be distorted by careless reporting, I picked up the paper -on Monday morning and read: ““You will notice that in these verses the name of God does not appear once.

TILE SUB-IRRIGATION.

A System Particularly Adapted for Gardens, Small Farms and Vineyards. '

Surface irrigation requires much more water because of rapid evaporation and is far less valuable than subirrigation. Uhless the water is carefully handled on the surface it will do more injury to the|dground and to the plants than it will do good. Ifthe water is applied beneath the surface it will rapidly reaeh the roots and there will be little or no loss on account of evaporation. The loose soil above acts as a mulch. The tile used for this purpose must be of the unglazed porous & b b b b b : 4 Warek| e v : s g . : Sk : b o=y b la v b ' ! ' g ' ! s ] K ' ; b et § o : i : i ! a, ‘ : a. a: i =< ' ‘ ' oo ‘ : : ! ol : e oy el = e ] SUB-IRRIGATION SYSTEM kind. The depth below the surface will depend on the plant to be watered. For most garden plants a few inches is sufficient. If a vineyard is to be subirrigated put the tile somewhat deeper, and it the water is to be applied to an orchard the tile should be deeper than for a vineyard. R

The rows of tile should be mnear enough together so that the space between them will be thoroughly moistened. The tile must be laid so that the end of the line where the water enters will be slightly lower than the other. The water will run in until the tile is filled and then by capillary attraction will. be distributed. The accompanying diagram shows how a vineyard may be watered. It is a plan of a plat in this vicinity, and the grapes produced here are the finest in this section of the state. The heavy lines (b) represent the row of grapevines and the dotted lines (a) the rows of tiles. They are laid so that the water is introduced from the upper right-hand corner and distributed throughout the whole system. Water is forced to the plat froma well some distance away by means of a windmill. A few yards of tile in a garden often doubles the value of the p,lat.——Orangel Judd Farmer.

RENOVATING ORCHARDS.

Thorough Pruning Is the First Operation Necessary to Give Re~ newed Life to Trees.

Repair is not necessarily asscciated with old age and decay. Apple trees ten or fiftéen years old sometimes need repairing quite as much as do old and neglected ones. When the orchard to be treated has been neglected for many years, the first operation, if the land does not need draining, is to prune thoroughly. In this operation, which may be performed at any time from late fall until the middle of May, care should be used that the trees are given an open head. This does not imply that all small limbs should be removed, leaving a lot of whipstoeks, but that such of the larger limhs as are parallel and close together, or those which cross, should be cut out, says W. M. Munson, in Bulletin 49, Maine experiment station. Half of the difficulty of pruning is done away with if one decides to allow the tree its matural form, rather than attempt to shape it to some particular model. Many growers suppose that pruning wealkens the tree and shortens its life. There is, however, no reason for this belief other than the general statement that pruning is unnatural. Man seldom prunes so heavily as does nature’in removing superfluous limbs in the growth of young saplings in the forest. Furthermore, nature prunes at all seasons and in the rudest ways. By this it should not be understood, however, that care is not necessary in the mechanical operation of pruning. On the other hand, it is of the greatest/importance that large limb§ be removed with care and the wounds painted to prevent the entrance of fungi, which will induce decay. In training young trees, all crotches should be avoided. If bad crotches should be found to exist in trees ten or more years old, they 'should be braced by méans of an iron bolt. Much damage may be avoided if bolts are used in season. s STORING POTATOES. The Tubers Keep Best at a Low Tem- . perature, Just a Little Above Freezing. ; Dig potatoes as soon-as the skin will not slip, as this gives them a bad appearance. The only precaution necessary when digging is to take care not to cut or bruise them. Have a good digger. There are several on the market. I prefer an elevator digger, which leaves the potatoes all on top, free from vines. When the potatoes are taken from the field they should be assorted by running them through a potato screen having holes IY, inches square, which obviates extra handling. The small oenes can be used for seed. Do not allow potatoes to lie exposed to-the sun long after they are dug, as it will injure the quality. Potatoes keep best at a low temperature, a little above freezing. Many are spoiled ‘by keeping them in a temperature that is too high. I keep mine in cellars which are built with building tiles, thus providing air spaces. The bin should not be too large. A bin that will held 200 bushels is large enough. When I store them inthe cellar I sprinkle them freely with air-slaked lime, which prevents them from rotting.—lra Graber, in Agricultural Epitomist. o It is only in exceptional cases that it will be advisable to cultivate in the ' orchard this late. - g

OIL LAYS THE DUST.

Successful Experiment in California - Which Might Be Given a Trial in the Eastern States,’

The machine for distributing the oil on the roadway is quite a novelty. It consists of a portable tank six feet long, running on two wheels, which are attached to the rear of an oil tank wagon. The oil is discharged into the portable tank by means of hose. It is then discharged through {tubes six inches apart, underneath the tank, which are operated by a lever. Only a sufficient amount is let through to take up-the dust. The oil is run in furrows madeiby a little hoe and is covered by other hoes following. This is to prevent the oil from seeking a level in any low place and becoming unevenly distributed on the road. After all the oil has been applied the same machine is useéd 1o incorporate the oil and earth. Two horses are attached to the apparatus, and by the means of numerous other friction teeth and by going over the road the balance of the day for the purpose of incorporating the earth and oil the road is made ready for use. The oil used is a heavy quality of asphaltum oil and is applied hot. The affinity (the earth for the oil) when both are hot is very great. One of the principal strects of Long Beach was treated with the oil process, and reports concerning it are generally satisfactory, sections of the street with a good foundation showing perfect results and a dustless roadway. The following from the South Pasadenan will show how the oil process is viewed by the people of that town: ~ “The city trustees and the people of South Pasadena are so well pleased with the results-of alloying dust by oil that if the rainy season were not so near the plan of using water for this purpose would be abandoned entirely and the dust kept down by the use of oil. Our people are so well satisfied with the result of dressing a portion of the roadways with oil that they regard it as the solution of the question of street sprinkling. In the spring the use of water will probably be abandoned altogether and oil substituted. The dust by this process is entirely allayed, the cost much less, and, what is of equal importance, a great saving in the watcr supply is made.” After a thorough investigation and practical working of the oil process as applied by Mr. De Camp during the past six months there seems to be no question as to its utility and economy over the ancient custom of watering the roads to aliay the dust. This being the case, we hope, for the good of the traveling public, that the oil dust-allaying process may be adopted not only in Los Angeles county but throughout the country. Parties desiring further information in regard to this matter can obtain the same by applying in person or by letter to L. B. De Camp, who hss an office in the Frost building, Los Angeles.—Alhambra (Cal.) Advocate.

THE CHURNING PROBLEM.

Never Delay This Important Operation Until the Cream Is Very Sour or Cheesy.

How often shall churning be done? With the conditions found in the average farmhouse no specific rule can be given. Cream kept four days will sometimes be in better condition than it would be if kept only three or even two days at other times. Churn when the cream is ripe or slightly acid. Never delay until it is very sour or cheesy. Mosquito mnetting thrown over the cream jars keeps out flies and dust and does not seriously interfere with the free circulation of air. Wind blowing upon milk is always certain to cause white specks in the butter. Our cows will be fresh in late autumn and early winter. We have had very little milk this summer. The cream, if kept until there is enough to churn, becomes stale. It is skimmed into a tin pail, heated to 80 or 85 degrees and then lowered through an opening, that is fitted with a hinged cover, into a covered well in the cellar. If the cream is churned in 12 hours the butter will' come very quickly if stirred with an egg beater. Nice butter can be made from a small quantity of milk, if the cream is first heated and then cooled.—Sarah E. Wilcox, in Agricultural Epitomist. FENCING OVER WATER.

Holes are bored in these, i, which upright stakes are driven to support the upper rail. The lengths of fence are chained together. The outer log is anchored up-stream and down stream with sufficient length of chain-to permit the rising and falling of the fence, This plan is splendid for tide water rivers, and good wherever the rise is not likely to be so sudden as to wash it away.—Farm and Home. Danger in Nitrate of Sodna, It should be remembered that nitrate of soda is not so beneficial for stock as it is for seil.

These, not recognizing the difference from common salt, lick or eat it, and as ‘a result either die or get very sick. In case of poisoning from this chemica ‘the “administration of infusions of coffee and alcohol and irritant clysters” is recommended by government veter‘erinarians. 4 : With the peach, the young trves should be started with low heads, the ;}lowe‘r limbs not more than two feet }abov{e the grpund. : g A good plant needs no more room

ESTHER PLEADING.

Internatienal Sunday School Lesson for;October 15, 1899—Text, Esther 8:3-8, 15-17—Memory Vs. 15-17.

[Specially Arranged from Peloubet’s Notes.]

GOLDEN TEXT.—Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring'it to pass.—Psa. 37: b. READ Chapters 8-10. : THE TIME of the story, B. C. 473, May or June,

PLACE.—The pdlace at Shushan, PLACE IN BIBLE HlSTORY.—Between the sixth and seventh chapters of Ezra. EXPLANATORY.

I. Danger to the People of God.—We saw in our last lesson how Haman, the prime minister of Xerxes, had succeeded in obtaining a decree from the emperor for the destruction of the whole race of Jews, including, of course, those at Jerusalem. The whole people of God were to be wiped off from the face of the earth. A JPersian decree once promulgated was irreversible. 11. Queen Esther to the Rescue.— Esther had been queen for four or five years when notice was sent to her by Mordecai of the great danger whieh threatened her people, with the suggestion that she intercede with the king for their salvation. The mission committed to Esther was one of great danger and difficulty. She had not been summoned to the king for a month. Appai‘entlx his love for her had cooled, to what degree she knew not. It was a rule of the palace that no'one unsummoned should come into the inner court of the palace, on pain of death, unless the fickle monarch should hold out his golden scepter. From oriental customs it is probable that women were not allowed in this court at all (Hsley), so that it would be doubly dangerous for Esther to go uninvited. Reasons Why Esther Undertook the Task: 1. It was to save her whole people. She was patriotic. 2. She was apparently the only one who could do it. 3. She was providentially endowed with beauty and rzised to her position as queen for this very purpose. 4. She would doubtless have perished herself in the general massacre. This was not only a right motive in itself, but it emphasized all the others, erabling her to realize the danger and the need more clearly than otherwise would be possible. 5. We must keep in mind the heroism in her girlish soul. The queen, thercfore, in attempting to save her people, must (1) visk everything—her position, her husband, her wealth, her life. (2) She must do it on the mere chance that such a king would look upon her with favor. (3) “She must attempt, by the mere weight of personal influence, to reverse the decrees of an empire that prides itself on infallibility —whose laws are unalterable.” . (4) And she must do this against the influence of the king’s favorite, who had easiest access and largest influence with the monarch, and was the most powerful subject in the kingdom and the enemy of her people. (5) She belonged to a despised race, and must reveal that fact to the capricious king.

ITI. Esther’s Plan.—Vs. 3-8. V. 1. She asked her friends to fast three days in her behalf. Fasting implies prayer, confession’ of sin and a belief in God. This was on the same principle as Christ’s promise to His disciples when two or three agreed together touching anything they shall ask (Matt. 18:19). V. 3. “Esther spake yet again:” The execution of Haman did not save her or her people. for the decree of Haman was still in force.” V. 4. “The king held out the golden scepter:” The usual sign of his favor. V. 5. “Reverse the letters devised by Haman:” The former decree must stand.” The king could not reverse it as Esther proposed, but another decree was issued which practically annulled the former one. V. 8. “Write . « . asgfttliketh you:” The plan was to give the Jews permission to stand in self-defense and repel every attack, and take possession of the property of those who attacked them. “King’s . . . seal.” ‘ IV. The Deliverance.—Vs. 15-17. The rest of the book relates the result of this decree. The Jews stood up in selfdefense and large numbers cf their enemies were slain, including the ten sons of Haman, who may have thought to revenge their father’s death on the Jews. The king told Esther what had been done, and asked her what more she desired, and she asked another day of the same, and that Haman’s sons be hanged up before the people. The deliverance was a wonder of providential interference. The nation was saved. Mordecai was exalted to Haman’s place. The feast of Purim was instituted with great feasting and joy, and has been celebrated annually éver since the 14th of Adar (February-March), cne month before Easter. ' : . LESSONS FROM ESTHER. The man or the woman for the emergency is fortheoming, because God, who foresees the emergency, makes ready for it One of the most interesting studies in the story of Esther is to trace the ways of Divine providence and see how God makes all things work together for the good of His people. The religious note in the book of Esther does not sound so clearly as the patriotic note. But patriotism is a lesson we all need to learn, and its meaning should be clearly understood. Suffering, living, working for our country is as true patriotism as is fighting for it. - ~ FACTS AND FANCIES.
