A WONDERFUL GARDEN, THIS.
At Least the Ftory About It la Won
dcrful ICnougU.
Most people have heard of the hang
ing eardens of Hitbylon, the modern
roof gardens nn,i ti. jirdeus or lloat
lug Islands in which vegetables used to
be grown for l he citizens of undent
Mexico, but probably few have heard
of it garden on board a ship, with farm
yard uttachnieut. The splendid shitf
Mowuau, now lu port, and the largest
vessel which has ever been here, bad
such an arrangement on board during
her trip to Oregon. On leaving Belfast
for rortland she took on board as bal
last L'.txm tons of Irish soil, which, when
leveled off, made quite a stretch of
ground, and. as the soil of Ireland ll
proverbially fertile, the ship's company
proceeded to put It to good use by plant
ing a stoi k of garden truck lu It cab
bage, leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce
pens, beans, etc. The seeds eame up all
right and the plants nourished finely,
and when the ship was lu the tropica
grew with great rapidity. As they pro
gressed toward the Horn mid tlrn
weather grew colder, things ;'atne to
perfection rapidly. The crew nnd ship's
apprentices ninused themselves by
weeding and cultivating the plants, and
the captain and ollieefs took regular
walks lu the garden daily, and all had
green vegetables to their heart's con
tent. As they came around the Horn tho
garden wns replanted, and by the time
they reached the equator everything
was abloom, and all hands feasted on
fresh vegetables daily. The only draw
backs to the garden were the weeds
which grew so rapidly that they could
hardly be kept down and the droves
of pigs that were kept in the farmyard
attachment, and which. ot. several oc
casions, when the ship was buckling
Into a tun-Vaster ami rolling heavily,
broke out of the bounds and made seri
ous Inroads on the garden. It is a seri
ous matter to call all hands on board
ship, and is only done lu emergencies,
but when the pigs got Into the garden
there was more pounding on forecastle
scuttles and handspikes and blowing
of boatswain's whistles than If the ship
had been laid aback by a typhoon or
all the masts had been carried away,
and every sleeper was aroused to help
get the pigs out of the garden.
The last pig was killed and served up
with gi n vegetables .Inst before the
Mowli.'in entoroil i Ik- Columbia, tin the
arrival of the Mowhan here the Irish
soil wusiliscli.ii gcil on the elevator com

The pile will doubtless In Vereil with

many a sack of it will be carried off
to fill Mower pots, etc. Although It

THE Oltl llAlin.
Ten years ago it was th) thor High
ly accepted belief nuiong orcliar. lists
that alfalfa was detrimental to fruit
trees iu fact, that its continued
growth in an orchard meant nothiii ;
less than surd death to tint trees,
writes 1''. L. Wntrolisof the Colorado
experiment station. Even to this iy
the belief is held by great tiuiniiers id
orchardi -ts in tho western states. In
California tho successful orehar list
cultivates between tho trees aim 1 d in
cessantly, keeping land free from
weeds and "blanketing" Ins under smi
I t tne purpo.u of preserving 111 id
ure, but leaving tho 6ti rfneo of thu
ground uncovered to bo dric I tin 1
baked by the hot sun, the topoiil th is
being unfitted for producing tin b.'d
results. Tho above plan or some
modification of it is gen-Tally fol
lowed in Colorado, but many un
til! :f y orehnrdists allow weeds to .grow
unmolested, and iu tho fall, lump
their skinny, w.irmy fruits iu a jungle.
In tlie centrnl and eastern states or
c on. Is are in grass much of the time,
ut li ' sum prejudice exists in these
sections against clover among fruit
trees as against alfalfa in the west.
Whatever nny have lioon believed
..r imagined as to the incoiigetiinlity
of trees and alfalfa (or c'ov.t), th t
theory is destined to nn early down
fall. Tho evidence is at hand now to
show that not only is alfalfa not n
d driiie'iit when grown among fruit
trees, but iu iii-tii y ways it is a positive
benefit, lending its-lf and its proper
ties to tho advantage of tin: trees. Jt
is now becoming nn established fact
that orchards under irrigation, am
usually givti too much water, espe
cially when small fruits or other cropi
aro grown bctw."'!i the rows; and
whether this practice does or does not
produce 11 tendency to blight, the bulk
..f evidence, goes to prove that or
chards so situated ns to maintain
I health nnd growth without the nttih-
end application of water or with its
v. ry limited use, providing soil
moisture is not in 1 xcess lrnm some
unfavorable condition, bee ine the
thriftiest, hardiest and most produc
tive. On this s d't of land, whele
moisture cm be found at from six to
ten f. ft from the surface, the promi
nent congeniality of the alfalfa plant
and the tipple tree becomes apparent,
lioth need p'enty of surface water the
tin t year, a little less the second, and
v iy little or none Ihcronftor.
The main features of tli.' pluu arc,
that after trees become old enough to
bear and n-'cl all the laud between
th -in, and that fertilized and renovated
.alfalfa m iy bo use I ns 11 foo 1 g ilhercr

tin; lower strata, bringing up mineral
elements to the surface, capturing
nitrogen from the air through iti root
proe 'ss'.:s nu I bringing nil together on
th : surface of tho ground, to bo ab

to tlie trees the food they need to li'.l
up tin I mitnr j fruit. Nirittliu all:
the alfalfa fall ing upon the ground
inalicsnsufl covering upon which wind
falls may drop with little bruising,
it so occupies tlie soil ns to allow 11
foul growth to creep in; it doei away
w it Ii the work of weeding or cultiva
ting, and keeps the surface cool nud

would be possible, of course, un this
system of c i-iquratioii between fruit

of h iy or seed during the off years for

Criminal Instinct in AiiituaN.
The Italian criminologist, professor
L imbroso, declares that tho criminal
instinct exists in animals as well ns
human beings, and cites it number of
instances iu proof of his us-eition.
One is that of 11 horse which siiuul ited
paralysis in order to escape biking
part iu a military muiee ivro. Such
feigning oil part of 11 man, professor
Lotiibr.no states, would in variably d:
note a strong criminal instinct.
Liiness is another murk of the ha
bitual criminal, nud this trait, when it
is found in c Ttain ones of tin indus
trious animals, like, the benvcr, result
in the id t.'is being shut out from tint
colonics of thus : who work. Some
thing almost similar has been noted
ninoiig elephants, for wlieu 0110 of
these animals grows vicious he is ex
cluded from the herd and forced to
live nlono or else iu company with
olliTS liko himself, who have been
c ist out.
Professor Lonibroso nays that ituioi g
horses especially, since their cranial
conformation is W'-'H known, it is cay
to distinguish by tho shape of li e
head alone those which are uatuiall.v
vicious.
An Oregon Freak.
A curious physical freak has been dis
covered on the tongue of tbo Infant
child of Mrs. Carl F. Wogncr, the wife
of a railroad man of Alblna, Ore.
Abo'.'t a week ago, when the child w ns

attention of the family physician to
tho fact that sho experienced a pecu
liar feeling wben the child was nurs
ing. She bad not Investigated for bcrself,
but tbougbt tbe babe's tongue w-as ex
ceedingly rough for one bo young. The
doctor opened the child's mouth and
wns nstonlshed to II nd Its tongue cov
ered with silken hair of short growth.
This wns somew hat extraordinary, nnd
he could hardly believe Hint what he
saw wns n fnct. The nitentlon of some
of the most prominent physicians there
lias been Invited to this freak of nn
ture. They say It la nn unparalleled
case. It Is so extraordinary that n
report of It will be furnished nil the
