Walter Damrosch tells of a matron
In Chicago who , in company with bcr
young nephew , was attending a
musical entertainment.
The selections were apparently en
tirely unfamiliar to the youth ; but
when the "Wedding March" of Men-
dolssolm was begun he began to evince
ruoro interst.
"That sounds familiar , " ho said.
"I'm not strong on these classical
pieces , but that's a good one. What IB
it ? "
"That , " gravely explained the
matron , "is the 'Maiden's Prayer. ' "

Gladstone's liberality . . . was
very great , and was curiously accom

his determination to have the prop

MAY STIR UP CIVIL WAR
Augustus 1C\cictt U'lllson , gov < rnor of Ken
tucky , nil ! engender the onmlt ) of thousands In
his state If be puts Into execution bin threat
to veto the McCliord bill forbidding ; any trust to
carry on operations within ( he stale , or to em
ploy nuentn theieln. If this bill beeome law the
tobacco trust will be placed at the mercy of thn
tobacco growers , for It will hnvo to buy Ha to
bacco thiotigh middlemen , nnd Its Immense fac-
toiles In Kentucky will have to be closed down.
The governor Is said to have a feeling of sympa
thy for the trust whose legal reprebentntlvo lie
has been In the past. Shold ho veto the bill It
Is declared that It will result In civil war , the
planters declaring that the first law of nature ,
the law of tielf-preservatlon. Is to bo obeyed
tather than the man-made law of the land.
Tlu < dllllcultles rnrnunti'icd by the governor in his endeavor to stamp
out lawlessness will be nppieclated , when It Is stated that a detective whom
lie BOW to KiiRFcllvllle nppenred before the grand jury with a list of persons
guilty of night rldlns , nnd disco-veted that tour or live of those licensed wore
iti the jury. The detective left the Important part of his story untold , and
before he left town by the earliest train he mnde a speech to the farmers ad
vising them In their own interest to stand by one another and light the trust.
The tobacco trust has apparently very Httlo hope of the governor killing
the bill , for It has made an offer to purchase 15,000 hogsheads of tobacco from
the association at 1- cents a pound the very same tobacco which before the
Coinmtlon of the orgnni/atlon was selling for four cents. The farmero refused
( he offer nnd stated their terms , which wore that the price should bo 15 cents ,
: md thai the buyers should take the crop of 1005 llrst. then the crop of 100G
nnd then they would be allowed to buy the crop of 1007. The trust Is said
to have icfuscd this offer , and there may be n recrudescence of night riding
any moment. The mllltla Is In full sympathy with the farmers and will not
Interfere with them If It can be avoided or evaded. Meanwhile the governor's
position is a critical one.
MINERS3 CHIEF RETIRES
After ten years of leadership of the United
Aline Workers of America , John Mitchell has re
tired Horn the head of the great labor organiza
tion and has been succeeded by Vlce-PrcsIdent
Thomas U Lewis of Ohio.
Mr. Mitchell will devote his time to re
gaining his health , which has given way
under the strain of ofllce. Ho has been called
to Washington by President Roosevelt , who wants
to send him to Panama as an Investigator of
conditions , but it is understood that he does not
favor accepting the position. It Is said that In
future he will devote his attention to a labor
paper which ho will establish In Indianapolis.
The object of the paper will be the securing of
industrial peace between the minors and operat
ors of the country.
Mr Mitchell's work for the miners has been detailed at length many times.
When ho became the head of the organisation about ten years ago there were
only -lli.OGO members in the organization ; to-day there arc 350,000 ; wages have
been advanced almost 100 per cent. ; living conditions in the mining camps
have improved sevoial hundred per cent. ; the company store has been driven
out of the mining notllrmen's and men are now paid in money , not brass
checks redeemable only in trade at the "pluck-mo" store run by the employer.
Children of tender age have been taken out of the mines and put into school ,
and In most states In which the oigani/.ation Is now established boys under
11 or 10 years of age can not enter the mines. The miners have received
favorable standing before the people of the country because of their advocacy
of peace In preference to strike , and their adopted policy of keeping inviolable
contracts when made with the operators
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
Frank M. Gary , who has been elected United
States senator from South Carolina to till an un-
explred term , claims among his ancestors , Hobert
Itruce , king of Scotland ; .John Knox , founder of
the Presbyterian church ; John Witherspoon and
other Scotch worthies , lie is a nephew of the
late CScn. Mark Gary , a picturesque diameter of
the secession and reconstruction periods , who was
a major-general of cavalry in Wade Hampton's
legion , a brilliant soldier , a icckless leader and a
bard fighter. Ho was famous for his profanity
and his ungovernable temper. There was no
fiercer fire-eater in all the south , and ho was
mixed up In a dozen duels.
After the overthrow of the Republican gov
ernment in South Carolina nnd the establishment
of v < hnt is known as the Hampton oligarchy , Gen.
Gary quarreled with his former commander because ho did not receive the
political recognition that ho thought ho was entitled to , and , although the
tamlly belonged to the old slave-holding aristocracy , Gen. Gar > and all his
relatives joined the Tlllman and the "wool hats" in the overthrow of Hampton.
Under Gen. Hampton's "oligarchy" mno but the aristocracy of the state and
these who had distinguished themselves in the confederate army woio recog
nized by appointments to office. The ordinaly farmers wcio ignored , although
they wore In a very lurgc majority. Tlllman organized them through the
Fanners' alliance ; ho aroused them to u aenso of their rights , and ho swept
Hampton , Uutlor nnd all the rest of the arlstociats out of power. Since then
the Gary family have enjojed unusual political prosperity , and it is declared
tlmt they have held more ofllccs than any other family In the state.
Frank Gary has pledged himself not to bo u candidate for election next
year , but It is expected that ho will do what ho can to secure the election of
his cousin , former Gov. John Gary ICvans.
WILL WELCOME FLEET
AMu-d Dt-akln , ( > r ; nli-r of the commonwealth
of Australia , wis | , Mtiahlquite sincere In his
delight when bin Invitation for the American
tleet to \ | , it AiiHinillan ports was accepted , for
Mr. Ijoakln IH a warm admirer of the United
Stales and its people. Ho has been In America
several times studying the Irrigation question
in the western states. Australia has a problem
that is exactly similar , the interior of the con
tinent being absolutely waterless for the greater
part of the year. With a good system of irriga
tion Deakln hopes to make the Interior as habit
able as the seacoast.
Premier Deakln is a warm sympathizer with
the United States and Canada In their attitude
towards the Asiatic. From Its geographical po-
sltlon off the coast of Asia , and Its remoteness
w.u any'Vioplo of cognate race , the Asiatic pioblem is a very serious ono
to Auslialla The northern part of the Island continent would bo an Ideal
countiy for Chinese and Japanese , but the Australian government will not
allow them to land , preferring to retain the northern part of the Island in a
atato of nature rather than allow It to get into the hands of any but H wlilto
race.
Premier Dcakin is also an admirer of the American system of govern
ment , and in the confederation of Australia ho followed the American rather
than the Canadian ideal. Thus the colony Is a commonwealth rather than a
dominion , and Is composed of states Instead of provinces. The powers of the
central government are not nearly so wide as those of the Canadian govern
ment nnd icsemble moie those of the United States government. This sys
tem he urges for adoption In the confederation of the Hrltlsh empire , each
colony to bo represented in the federal , council , and to have a say with the
mother country In questions of intcr-lmpoilal or International nature. If Uls
< > luu is adopted the Urlvish empire will become another United States.

FOUR METHODS FOR HANDLING YOUNG TREES.

: he greatest care , so that the soil may
Jo brought at once into contact with
all of the fibrous roots. Water is used
for working the soil down between the
little roots , which should be spread
out in every direction so that they
may cover the greatest possible area
of feeding ground. That this method
gives good results in many cases can
not be denied , but it requires extraor
dinary care in digging and setting
the trees. The nurseryman that sells
tiis tiees at little price cannot afford
to spend on digging each tree the
amount of time this would require.
On the part of the tree setter , it is
exceedingly difficult to get the soil
FUNGUS
The Cordyceps melolontbae is a par
asitic fungus which has on a few occa-
slons been of great use In wiping out
severe attacks of tlio injurious white
Grub with Funguu Growth.
grubs. From the bodies of the dead
grubs spores are given off In enormous
numbers which Infest other grubs HO
that thousands of larvae may bo de
stroyed In a year. When the spores
fall on a caterpillar or grub they throw
out Korm threads which penetrate
through the skin of the caterpillar ,
which a tree is pruned by the so-ca'led '
Strjngfellow method. All the roots
ami all the branches are removed.
The setting of the tree is reduced to
the least possible work. A man goes
along with a crowbar and jabs a hole
in the earth. Another man follows
with an armful of trees and pushes a
tree into each hole. This method is
found to be serviceable in many parts
of the south , where an abundant sun
shine and moisture hasten growth. It
is also more adapted to fast growing
tiees , like the peach , than to' anj
other kind. In the colder parts of the
country , where growth is slow , it has
not pioved very satisfactory.
and then form another kind of spores
inside the body of their host , which in
crease very rapidly indeed , and soon
permeate all parts of the insect , the
caterpillar gradually becomes sluggish
and then dies , finally becoming a dried
up hard mummy , which is really n
storehouse filled with resting spores
of the fungus , which may remain in
the ground unchanged for many
months. Under favorable conditions ,
however , ono or sometimes two of the
long club-shaped or stick-like bodies
often several inches long are produced ,
generally liom beneath the neck of
the grub. Sometimes instead of these
club-like bodies the whole caterpillar
is covered with a white mouldy
growth which is spoken of as the
Isarla foim. This is the first form of
the fungus and the club-shaped or
Cordyceps form , which does not al
ways appear , is the second fruiting
stage. Ilotl' forms give off spores from
which infection may take place.
There are three or four of these fungi
at any rate which attack many kinds
of insects. Plant lice are particularly
susceptible to the attacks of some of
these fungi. The common house fly is
another trequent victim and sp'eci-
mons in largo numbers may every
autumn bo seen clinging to cellingq
or walls surrounded by a circular
cloud of spores. Wlreworms are also
much attacked by ono species of
Cordyceps. Indeed the greatest help
farmers have in fighting against white
grubs and wlroworms comes from
fungi of the genus Cordycops. For
almost all of the worst Injurious in
sects there are KOIIIO remedies which
will , at any rate , mitigate the attack ,
but with these troublesome grubs
very Httlo can be done.
Feeding Corn. How to use corn for
best results should bo our study. It
is a well-known fact that corn of Itselt
does not contain all the elements , or
these elements In right proportion to
produce best growth In animals , it
contains too much of the fat-forming i
properties and too little of pioteln or
the pioporty that goes to make up the
bolld flobh the lean meat , tendons of
the neives , etc. , and the growth of the
animals.
Feed Only the Hog , It is a mistake
to try to feed both the pig or hog and
the worms that may bo in him or the
lice that majbe on him. And the hog
would tell > ou so If ho If new how.

End nnd Aim of Woman's l.lfr , as Un
derstood by Roslc'o Mother ,
In ono of the Philadelphia public
schools is a Httlo girl pupil whoso an
cestors and coreligionists have over
held that the principal end nnd aim of
the llfo of n woman is marriage. This
Httlo girl In well up In most of her
otiidlcs , but she has an inveterate dls-
llko of geography and it seems impos
sible to teach the study to her. The
other day her teacher , made Impatient
by her seeming unwillingness to learn
her geography lesson , sent to Rosio's
mother a note requesting her to see
that the girl studied her lesson. The
next day showed no Improvement ,
however , nnd the teacher asked Roslo
whether she had delivered the note.
"Yes , ma'am , " was the reply.
"And did your mother read the
note , Hosle , " said the teacher.
"Yes , nia'm. "
"What did she say ? "
"My mother said that she didn't
know geography , an'she got married ,
an * my aunt didn't know geography ,
an1 she got married , an * you know
geography , an' you didn't get mar
ried. "
An End Missing.
An Irishman who served on board
a man-of-war was selected by ono o
the ofllcers to haul In n towllno of con
siderable length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 50
fathoms , which had put his patlenco
severely to proof , as well as every
muscle of his arms , ho muttered to
himself :
"Surely it's as long as to-day and to
morrow. Its a good week's work for
any five in the ship. Dad luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What ,
more of It yet ? Och , murder ! The
say's mighty deep , to be sure ! "
After continuing in a similar strain
and conceiving there was Httlo prob
ability of the completion of his labor ,
ho suddenly stopped short , and , ad *
dressing the officer of the watch , ex
claimed : "Bad manners to me , sir , if
I don't think somebody's cut off the
other end of it ! " The Pathfinder.
