S BEFORE m PUBLIC EYE KILLING OF GEN. BOBRIKOFF. 8eems to Be Direct Result of Situa tion in Finland. Bobrikoff, the governor general of Finland, who was assassinated last week, has been described as “a com bination of a French farmer general of taxes in pre-revolutionary days and the chief of a band of modern Turkish brigands.” The denunciation of his murder in thte. Russian official press and his so-called dying declaration prove nothing in his favor. They are evidence rather of the utter incapacity of the Russian bureaucracy to com prehend the true significance of the Finnish agitation. While it may be that Bobrikoff was a proper instrument for the work in hand, that work itself was of the most abhorrent character in the present days of political development. It has been aptly said that he appeared like the spirit of the sixteenth century ad dressing the twentieth century, for that fairly represents the contrast be tween Russian tyranny and the Fin nish aspiration for liberty. On the one side is a pure despotism bolstered up by an army and the ignorant loy alty of the Russian masses, on the oth er an enlightened people striving against oppression, a people whose progress Impresses every visitor and whose struggles are not those of reck less Incendiaries, but of sober patri ots seeking to preserve their rights. Since 1899 those rights have been denied one after another with an amazing disregard of sacred pledges. A conscription has been introduced which encroaches on old Finnish privileges, the senate has been made the creature of the governor general, the courts have been made the serv ants of his will, the press has been suppressed. Bobrikoff’s attempt to show that only a factious minority of Swedes and young Finns was respons ible for the opposition is a grotesque perversion of fact. The hostile move ment Is essentially popular. There has been a very remarkable resistance to the conscription, and as an Indica tion of the general discontent we have only to point to the fact that since the denial- of constitutional privileges the emigration has been unprecedent ed. Hence, although one hesitates to Oommend even & political murder there I ~ C£7r.£QE£»/XQFr can be no question about the fullness of the provocation, and when all the circumstances are considered it was perhaps an inevitable expedient. It is the curse of Russia that she forces her victims to such acts of desperation by which her whoie policy is con demned. The assassination of Bob rikoff is, in fact, eloquent of a mis rule which repels the civilized world, and if Russian statesmen would un derstand why their country is so iso lated they may learn much by reflect ing on the causes of the tragedy at Helsingfors.—Chicago Record-Herald. LESSON IN BRAVE SPIRIT. Also a Good Example of the American Temperament. Men on the shady side of 50 may find profit in considering the spirit of David Lyon, who lost the work of fif ty years in a recent fire. He is 71 years old. Now, let's see what this plucky, fine, American citizen did, and let him tell his own story. "I went to the good wife I married forty-eight years ago. She put her arms about my neck and bade me be of good cheer, so here I am again, as if nothing had happened, traveling on the road and selling goods.’* That man is bigger than his en vironments, superior to his condition. In his breast there is golden sunshine, and his manhood Is of a type that de fies fire, toil and even stays the hand of older FatheT Time and cries: “Wait a moment; for my work is not yet done.’* The prosperity of this nation lies in the fact that it is a nation of optim ises, brave men and women who look up, not down, and who never lose hope. Eloped and Married Twice. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Henz of Wash ington have just been married a sec ond time. In 1894 they eloped and were wedded in Rockville, Md. Six years later they disagreed and sep arated, a divorce following. Subse quently they saw a good deal of each other and just before last Christmas became engaged again. The young woman’s father did not look with fa vor on this proceeding, ao they eloped again a few days ago, going to Roek ville, where they were reunited by the same preacher. -■ -- Lecturer Justly Aggrieved. When Dr. Bugene Wagner of Ger many arrived at one of the SL Louis exposition halls to address the Amer ican League for Civic Improvement and the American Park and Outdoor Art association he found just one per son there. The rest had forgotten all about the doctor and adjourned for the day. “I do not understand this way of doing business,” said that Justly grieved German. "I have a written Invitation to address the convention at 2 o’clock and I find the hall empty.” | AS THE WORLDS | REVOLVES p| EARL GREY SUCCEEDS. MINTO. New Governor General of Canada Has Had Experience. Earl Grey, who has been selected to succeed Lord Minto as governor gen eral of Canada next fall, has been lord lieutenant of Northumberland since 1899. In 1896-’97 he was admin istrator of Rhodesia. One of his sis ters is Lady Minto, the wife of the present governor general of Canada. He is the fourth of the earls Grey, of whom the first was a distinguished £AjQL English general in the American war of Independence. RECORD OF MR. CORTELYOU. Statesman Has Been In Washington for Thirteen Years. Thirteen years ago Mr. Cortelyou went to Washington as private secre tary to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Rathbone. With the incom ing of the second Cleveland adminis tration, in 1893, he tendered his res ignation, with the intention of accept ing a railroad position in Iowa. Ha remained in the postofflce department, however, at the solicitation of the new fourth assistant, Mr. Maxwell. Though a republican. Mr. Cortelyou was ad vanced to the position of acting chief clerk of the postal bureau. In No vember, 1895, when Mr. Cleveland asked his cabinet advisers if they knew of a good stenographer Post master General Bissell suggested Mr. Cortelyou, whose good work had come to his favorable attention. This was the opportunity which led to Mr. Cortelyou’s later success. He served in the 'white house sixteen months under Mr. Cleveland. LAWYER’S SCALE OF FEES. According to This It Would Be Well to Keep Out of Litigation. Judge Goode of Virginia tells of an interview he had with Judah P. Ben jamin when the latter was confeder ate secretary of war. “You are a law yer, are you not?” asked Mr. Benja min. Mr. Goode answered in the af firmative, whereupon the secretary asked: “What do you consider a large fee?” “WelL up in the moun tains, where I liv«e, if a lawyer gets J500 he thinks he has struck it rich,’* replied Goode. The secretary reflected a moment and then said: “Now, my practice has been this: If a client comes to my office I charge him a good retainer. If he comes around to bother me I charge him a refresher. If he comes to have some work done on the case I charge him a reminder and when the case is concluded I charge him a finisher.” TOLD HE CANNOT RECOVER. Ex-Gov. Nash of Ohio Is Given Up by His Physicians. Ex-Gov. Gewrge K. Nash of Ohio, is at death’s door, being kept alive only GSQ1PGF JCJWSff ' by powerful stimulants. He Is con scious only at intervals. Ifee physi cians have informed Mr. Nash that he cannot recover. Oil Deposits In Trinidad. For many years the oil deposits of Trinidad have attracted attention, but until recently explorations have been confined to the surface. Now three or four borings of considerable depth have been made and an attempt Is being mail; to place the project on a commercial basis. Oil of first rate <yaality, has been found, and it is said to contain a much larger por tion of naphtha than the oils found exposed on the surface. A Canadian syndicate is now working this prop erty.

I Summer-Made Manure. It used to be the custom to allow che manure pile to increase in size for half a year before using it on the fields. It was supposed that what it lost in volume it made up in quality and that the little well-rotted manure was worth more than the greater vol ume would have been if applied fresh. Not only was the winter manure kept till spring, but the ma nure that was made nightly in the barnyard was carefully piled each morning and a new pile allowed to grow till fall, and sometimes this pile was incorporated with the new pile that began to be made when the cows wrere taken out of the pastures and stabled for winter. But we have learned better now. We know that sun and air are constantly warring against the accumulated fertility and that the sooner it is brought under cover of the soil the better. The loss is especially large with the manure that accumulates in the barnyard in the summer, for the reason that the temperature is so high that all chemi cal changes are hastened and the moisture escaping helps to carry off the fertility, especially such as can change into gases. So the summer made manure should be carted to the fields as soon as possible, at least once a week, unless there is a covered place that will protect it from both rain and very much air. In the barn yard if manure is to be kept in sum mer for any length of timo it would pay to have a receptable built up with planks on each side and which may be increased in height as the manure Increases. In this way the air can get at it only on the top, and the fertility in the lower portion will be preserved. Certainly this is a better arrange ment than having an open pile with all sides exposed to the currents of air. The fertility locked up in this manure is worth money, and it should be husbanded as carefully as money would be. Cabbages for Sheep. There may be objections to feeding cabbages to milch cows on account of tainting the milk, but there is no such objections with feeding them to sheep. Cabbages can be easily grown, espe cially where the soil is a heavy but rich clay. In the discussion of this subject we have heard sheep men say that they could get more money out of their cabbages feeding them to sheep than in any other way. Of course that was in localities where markets were not easy to reach. Where the farmer lives near a rail road and can send hie cabbages to Chicago arfd other big markets at lit tle cost* that way of disposing of them will be more profitable than in feed ing them to the sheep. But it must be remembered that where the sheep interests are largest there are few railroads. A large tonuage of cab bages can be grown per acre, and many of our shepherds are finding this a profitable use to make of the ground. The cabbage has this advantage over most of our other green feeds that it can be kept for months and even into the dead of winter if it is properly stored. This is quite an advantage over even rape. The Canadian farmers are tak ing advantage of this to lay in an nually good supplies of cabbages to feed to their sheep during winter, thus keeping their sheep in r^rfect condi tion as to their digestive organs. Cab bages can be grown in almost all parts of the country, and they grow best in the cooler sections, where they r.re most needed for winter food. Their value cannot be figured out from the tables the chemists give us, for their succulence is a valuable thing in itself, but this has no value in the analysis of the chemist. High-Grade Fertilizers Best. The wise farmer will buy only high grade fertilizers and will not be caught by the cry of cheapness. If one brand of a certain kind of fertil izer sells for half what another brand sells for it is almost certain that It contains less than half of the fertil izing elements to be found In the other. The manufacturers would as soon sell the high-grade as the low grade, but are compelled to put a cheap brand on the market to hold their trade against eempetition. There are a great many people In every walk of life that are caught by the idea of cheapness. The/ seldom look into the merits of an article. They set It down as truth that the man that is charging the high price 1b trying to swindle them, and that the man that sells the cheap article is the hon est and friendly fellow. If people will persist in lookiiig at thingB in this way, they must expect to get a bad bargain in almost every case. Espe cially is this so with fertilizers, which have to pay the cost of transporting and of handling. The useless material that is put in to cheapen the whole product costs the farmer something, though it is of no value to his land! It costs something to mix it with the high-grado material, and it costs, as we have said, the transportation charges. Tne high-priced goods are generally the cheaper goods. When a farmer buys fertilizers he should pay no attention at all to the cost per ton but should figure out how many pounds of phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen he is getting. Then he should get as little waste material with it as possible, that he may save on the carrying charges. Illinois Butter Exhioit at 8t. Louis. The butter exhibits of Illinois at St Louis will be in the agricultural building. Illinois dairymen or farm ers intending to make an exhibit must ship their butter to Chicago on June 2. The dairy butter will be in three classifications: A, from 8 to 28 pounds of butter from milk of mixed herd; B, same amount from milk of herd of one breed; C, not less than 8 one-pound prints made by exhibitor on farm. Address all communications to George A. Hunt, superintendent Illinois dairy exhibits, Hebron, fl]., unfll May 28. After that date to Geo. A. Hunt, superintendent Illinois dairy exhibit*. World's Fair. SL Louis. Mark Grafting Wood. Why will farmers keep worthless apple trees on their farms when it is Perfectly easy to have all good. In an orchard of a hundred trees of mixed varieties, some will be very good and some will be very poor. Yet we have seen such orchards stand and for twenty years bear the same old kinds of fruit with which they started. The trees that bore only cider apples at fir3t continued to bear ciaer apples. Why do not farmers oftener graft their best varieties of fruit onto the trees bearing the poorer varieties? Is it because they do not think about it or because they never get around to do ing what they know should be done? By grafting wre can in a few years have all the trees in an orchard bear ing good fruit. During the summer months is the time to mark grafting wood, for it is altogether probable that the quality of the fruit on differ ent branches of trees varies and that the fruitful bough, if made up into grafts, will give better returns in fruit than the unfruitful bough. This Is the claim of some that have made a study of the subject, though it must be acknowledged that no one has as yet probed very deeply into the mat ter. Some of the varieties, like the Gano, have been propagated by mere ly selecting certain boughs that bore apples of a certain color and form. It would therefore be well to mark all wood that is to be used for grafting next year so tnat the orchardlst may be sure to have his scion3 from wood that has the habit of fruit bearing. In this way some of the worthless fruit trees that are now taking up room without returning any rent for it will become valuable. Silkworm Culture. The Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C., Is investigating the possibilities of silkworm culture in the United States. It is hoped that it may in time be developed to such an extent as to prose of benefit to those members of families whose time is not altogether occupied in other ways, and also to other persons in a small way as a side issue. To persons wishing to experiment, and who can furnish proper food for the worms, the Department is distributing free of charge a small quantity of silkworm eggs and also a manual of instruc tions. The proper food for silkworms consists of leaves from the different varieties’of white mulberry tree and the Osage orange. The paper mul berry (with the fuzzy leaves) is not suitable, nor is the common red mul berry. As the season is now open, ap plications for the eggs should be made at once, and must be accompanied by a statement as to the number and kind of mulberry trees or the amount of Osage orange which the applicant pos- I sesses; otherwise the eggs will not be sent. If the variety of mulberry is not known to the applicant, a sample of large leaves should be s^nt to the De partment. The Department of Agri culture buys the cocoons which the worms spin, paying for them (after they have been dried (75 cents to $1 a pound, according to their quality. The work will prove an’ interesting pastime Jor women and children who can devote to it odd minutes during the day. Account With the Fields. There are numerous account books especially arranged for keeping ac count of the cost and production of the various parts of the farm. They cost but little *nd will be found of value to the farmer provided he can make up his mind to use them and keep his mind made up to that effect. The greatest trouble with trying to keep account with each field is that the farmer neglects the items of ex pense and receipts, after a short time. In great and small business establish ments particular persons are selected to have the matter of bookkeeping in hand. It is found quite impossible for the man that does the buying and selling or even for the general mana ger to keep the books. It is there made the work of one particular per son or set of persons. This will be found to be also the best way on the farm. If there Is a bright boy or girl that is Interested In mathematics the farm accounts are likely to be kept. Otherwise they are about sure to be neglected. It is easy enough to ad vise Hie farmer to keqp account of everything he buys and sells. It is quite another thing to point out to him any practical method of doing so, where he himself has to keep all the items of receipts and disbursements. Yet the farmer needs to know these' things as certainly as the city mer chant needs to know them. If the farmer himself has to keep his own accounts the only practical way for him is to carry always In his pocket a small blank book and put down all the items of sale and purchase as soon as they occur. This book can be later “written up’’ into a larger one. It pays to keep an account with the fields. Preparing for an Orchard. Speaking of the best soil for an ap ple orchard, L. A. Goodman said: In the preparation of the land and the distance of planting, we must be di rected by the climate, the condition of the soil and the surrounding cir cumstances. I believe the virgin tim ber soil to be the best in every way. It has proven such in all my experi ences. Cutting this timber in August and September, burning up all the brush in October and November, plow ing up the land in December and January, and cross-plowing again in March and April, have been the best courses we have ever pursued. It pays to prepare well the land where the trees are to be planted, especially where the trees are to stand, for not for many a year, never during the life of that orchard, can that part be plowed again. Prepare well the land, therefore, before planting There are predictions that this year again the growers of fruit will have trouble in supplying themselves with barrels In sufficient number to enable them to market the crop at the time it should be disposed of. Philanthropists Seek to Save Poor Children of Great City A tent hospital for tuberculous chil }ren has been opened at Sea Breeze, Coney Island, New York. It is under the management of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Yoor. being a part of their summer jolony of homes. It is the first hos )ital in America to be maintained in printer as well as in summer for the exclusive purpose of seaside treat ment of the non-pulmonary forms of the disease, such as scrofula and tu berculosis of the bones, joints and Jymph lobes. It has been shown in France, Eng land and other countries that this pe culiar form of tuberculosis can be cured by sea air. In France, where there are the most successful tent hospitals, girls and boys suffering worn tuberculosis are kept m near the water as possible, some living on ships anchored out at sea, while in other cases ambulances are employed to carry the children to the ocean edge every day. The tent hospital, though the idea of scientific men. is partially the out growth of the jntuition of nurses. A large number of tuberculous children have been coming to the Sea Breeze colony every year, and the effect of the salt air upon them so impressed the attendants that they recommend ed an ocean hospital, to be kept open the year around. Some $15,000 was appropriated In February and the work started. Other help has been given, and the sanitarium is now com pleted. The institution is not an ex act copy of any European beach hos pital, but represents the best ideas of all sanitariums of its type. The camps are as picturesque as they ire useful. Built on a gigantic octagonal plan, the ocean home seems a veritable nest of tents. Each sep arate one rises from a point of the central platform, and Is devoted to a special purpose. The platform Is generous and comfortable, and encir cles an open space of saad. The whole is Just above high water mark.

Dr. Herman Bi*gs of the health de partment estimates that some 3,000 or 4,000 childre* under fifteen years of age suffer from it. “In our work? at the seaside home,’* said William H. Allen, general agent of the association, “we are confront ed with it on every side. Last sea son we fought it in many ways. We U - At Play. raised $1,000 to relieve families where there were bad casas. Aa item was to present bed* so that members of the household suffering from it would not have to sleep with well ones. Quar ters were changed from darkened places to those where there was plenty of sun. We furnished woolen clothing and nourishing food and in creased the heating arrangements. In one branch of the work we added a corps of disinfectors to our staff. These trained visitors went directly to the homes of diseased children, cleaned every room, disinfected all furniture and clothing, and gave lit tle talks to members of the family on how to prevent the spread of the disease. “Our tent hospital will first ot all try to cure the little patients who games has been adopted that will add to the children’s pleasure and instruc tion and not fatigue or Injure them. “In this work action is the thing. Delay means death sometimes. A sick mother and languishing babe often have to be sent to the seashore the very day of the visit. Here is another point in our method—that is, we take the family, treat it as a unit, and do not separate motMer and children. We even try to have them in a little room of their own at the ocean home. Sometimes this is difficult, families are so large. Our experience proves that there is no danger of race sui cide among these people. Families graw larger instead of smaller, if we are to believe figures. Six children is the usual number, eight no novelty, and ten general.” Teaching the children how to play is one of the pleasant tasks of the kindergartners. Many a tenement child knows nothing of amusement. Sand games are perhaps liked best, and the youngsters are very original. Subways, elevated roads, stores, fire departments, police headquarters, houses and parks are made of sand, shells and pebbles, and the children mimic the ways of the city in a very lifelike manner. The seaweed float ing in with the tides is a constant joy. The kind that snaps is called firecrackers. The feathery sort trims little sunbonnets, and the brown coral types make wonderful dress trim mings for miniature dames. The fid dler crabs, jellyfish, and all small dwellers of the ocean are captured and made friends with. Often they are swapped to the orphans at the St. John's home next door for more con crete objects, such as pink candy sticks or marbles. When the wild roses come, rose parties are the order of the day, and the home can hardly hold the flower treasures brought in by the little ones.

In the tents they will practical ly be living outdoors. There is very little hope of recovery for a tubercu lous child who is obliged to sleep in an overcrowded tenement house when the temperature is at 100 degrees. Quiet and nourishment are also two items to be taken into consideration.

She has made a life study of their ailments and needs, and besides the scientific knowledge necessary, possesses a sympathetic nature that binds the little folks to her. They have all possible faith in their re covery if she says so. Special sup plies have been furnished for these patients. They include flannel coats, trousers or petticoats, sweaters, wool en bathing clothes and eiderdown capes. The treatment will include special exercises.

Re cent scientific work in investigating the circulation of the solar atmos phere in accordance with the laws governing the convective and radia tive action of a large mass of matter contracting by its own gravitation, have led Prof. Bigelow to the hypo thesis that “the single fiery envelope conceals two disks,” a series of ob servations extending over many years ob the period of solar rotation at various points in the surface shows that “the same meridian of the sun is seen twice in a single rotation of the entire mass, first as the Eastern J limb, and second, thirteen days later J as the Western limb.” Therefore the sun has a dumb-bell figure of rota tion.
