It can ba heard Ironi Dan to Beersheba and has caused more trouble than all ticks, flsaa, mosquitoes, coyotes, grasshoppers, chinch bugs, rattle snakes, sharks, sore toes, cydon-33, earthquakes, bliazirda, smjll pox, yellow fever, gout and indigestion than tne United States have known or will know when the universe shuts up shop and begins a final invoice. In other words it has got war aud hell both backed up in tha coraar yelling for ice water." t t t t The Richmond News Lmiier thinks that Clark's College, oi Worchester, Mass , is going b:tck to ' first principles " The college proposes to intro To First Principles. grade to another on the strength of their entire record for the year and not on the result of "cramming" for a .particular' examination. Athletes shall bs under the supervision of the college preceptors and shall be purely for the development of body and mini and no more The News Leader thinks that the second "innovation will completely do away with all inter collegiate and competitive gamas and wili remove the taint of smuggled professionalism and the surrender of practically the whole school for weeks to gether to a state of excitemaut and too often rowdyism which cannot fail and does net fail to demoruliza and distract attention from tha legitimate alms of education, and goes far to convert institutions nominally intended to fit youth for the grave duties and responsibilities of lire into training places for experts in rowing and bili-plajing." Our contemporary adds that this will apve.tl to parents let students think as they may. xt t t Kinstos has long been regarded as one of the leading towns of Nor'h Carolina in good and worthy enterprises ; and now it adds another laurel . . in the new departure of a Woman's Club. It is Progressive luntston. . , , no joke, either, for the good woman of that good to An have already or&inizad themselves into a club which has for its objects something more than the mere, name of existence. It is proposed that the women shall take a hand In beautifylDg' ths city, keeping the strce's clean, aad in whatever else is needed to keep tha town in the front rank of progressive places. We thing that this is highly praiseworthy cn the part of the noble women of the town, but somehow there is a sugges tion in it ail that the men ot Kinston might bs sufficiently alive to relieve the good women of such responsibility so that they could devote their en ergies to less strenuous things. It may ba that the town of Kinatnn ac tually needs the women's help wa have seen towns which did need the sweep of a more effective touch than they got, and we are not calling names but we do not think it speaks well for the men where women have to take a hand in such public measure?. We may have to take all this back, for Scotland Neck may yet hava a Woman's Club to help beautify and clean the town ; and when that comes to pass we suppose we may think of such thinga differently. t t t t The Iowa man here comm-tatel on wou'd not hive so succJssfully dis tanced the nina lived cat if he had baea a drinking m in.

How an Inexpensive But Practical Greenhouse May Be Es tablished. For those who desire an inexpensive but practical greenhouse, the arrange ment here out lined may be made satisfactory, sug gests the Orange Judd Farmer. The roof or porch of any veranda which faces the south or southeast may be utilized for this purpose. Wall in with close weather boarding a portion of the roof after it has been covered with zinc. Roof with sashes made up of 8xl0-inch glasses. Hinge some of the sashes so they may be raised and lowered for ventilation. Within the house construct a plant bed of one-inch lumber 12 inches deep, and wide enough to allow a narrow passage about the outside, as shown ARRANGEMENT OF THE BED. in the floor plan. Fill this bed with fertile soil, about nine inches deep. Cover the. surface about one inch deep with fine sand. If the adjoining building is heated with steam, a connection may be made with a radiator to the coil of pipes placed under the plant bed on the porch roof, as shown In Fig. 2. This may be used in cold weather to prevent freezing within the greenhouse. But in dry, sunny weather the sun will fur nish sufficient warmth to keep the house in growing condition for the plants. The entrance to the house proper must be by way of an adjoining window or door to the roof of the veranda. A drainage pipe should be arranged to the plant bed to carry away surplus water, also a supply pipe for watering. The bed should not be wet so thoroughly as to cause water to run through. Such a house requires much the same management as does a hotbed. Ven tilation is necessary on very warm days, and thorough watering at fre quent intervals will cause the plants to grow most rapidly. Such a bed will furnish early vegetables, as lettuce, radish and bunch onions in abundance durine the winter. In some instances the entire supply of winter vegetables has been grown in such a house with a floor space no larger than 10x12 feet. Toward spring the house will also serve to grow seedlings for planting in the garden, such crops as cucumbers (White Spine varieties) and tomatoes (Loril- lard and Mayflower), may take the nlace of the lettuce and radishes. These should begin to bear fully a month before plants set in the garden. IN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

The Decan crop is estimated at over 10.000.000 pounds short by the Dried Fruit and Nut company, at St. Louis. The estimate is claimed to be made on careful investigation. Of course, a shortage of this extent would indicate much higherprices. There can be no question duc mat me sulphur, lime and salt solution is a very efficient fungicide. ' It surpasses anything I know of for cleaning up the trunks of trees and it has a very marked effect upon the freedom from scab of both fruit and foliage. Low-Headed Trees. The old-style orchard was often very high headed, with the limbs well up out of the wav. The idea was to train the tree so high that teams could be driven under and to keep the limbs above the reach of cattle. Now that these items are of less importance to most orchard ists, the tendency is in the opposite di rection, until J. H. Hale asks pertinent ly: "What's the use of a trunk, any way?" It may be said in favor of the low-down tree that the fruit may be picked at considerably less cost and is not so likely to be blown off by the wind. Spraying is also less difficult. It is In many ways the better tree for those Who do not cultivate directly un der large trees and who keep cattle away from the orchard. In a row of the stunner apples the trees were cut back much shorter than in many or chards, consequently the limbs are sturdy enough to hold the fruit without bending. These trees averaged about four cases to the tree. The trees branch out about eight or ten inches from the ground. American Cultivator. m DOME OF CAPITOL TO SHINE To Be Lighted Up with 3,000 Incan descent Globes Flans to Be Issued Soon. Washington. Three thousand incan descent globes will soon be placed in the dome of the capitol. and it will then outshine the dome of the congressional library, far famed for its great bril liancy. Plans for the lighting have been drawn by Elliott Woods, the superin tendent, and the bids for furnishing and installing of the new lights will shortly be issued. ' The lights are to be arranged in four rows around the dome. The first row will light the large fresco painting at the top. The three other rows will be at different distances, and so arranged that they cannot be seen. Only the light effect will be noticable. L'hts also will be placed over the eight large oil paint ings that hang on the wall of the ro tunda. The corridors of the building have just been fitted with new and ex pensive chandeliers, which materially increase the lighting effects through the building. The dome of the capitol will soon rank as one, of the handsomest of its kind in the world, so many are the improve ments tlfat are being made. The only feature that is not complete is the freize work which encircles the dome about half way. its height. The contract for the finishing of this work is now under advisement. SAVES CHILD FROM SNAKE. Dog Kills a Reptile Which Had Wrapped Itself Around Body of Little One. Wilmington, Del. By killing a blacksnake that had twined itself about the frail body of five-year-old Clara Marion, an English bulldog probably saved the child's life. The girl, with her father, was in the chicken yard of their home, near the grounds of the Wilmington Country club. Some one had been stealing the eggs from the coop and Mr. Marion was in vestigating. He discovered a big hole in one end of the yard, and thought rats had been making raids on the eggs. He stepped to another part of the inclosure, when he heard the screams of his little girl. Turning, he saw a black snake twin ing itself about his daughter's body. Mr. Marion was so horrified that he could not move. The bulldog with which the little girl had been playing, stood near, and when he heard the child's screams sprang forward, caught the writhing snake in its jaws and dragged it off and killed it. The rep tile was five feet long. The child was not injured, but is prostrated with fright. But Nothing Restores Life.
