the present moment probably John
Barrett, former United States minister
to Siam, is the one best qualified by
personal knowledge to discuss the
Philipine situation. Mr. Barrett has
spent the past five years in the far

traveled over a large portion of Luzon
ami bad visited the islands of other
Philippine groups. In May, 1898, after
Dewey had annihilated Spain's fleeet
in Manila bay, Mr. Barrett returned
and remained in the vicinity of Manila
for seven months. Finally, after the
fighting with the Filipinos began in
February he came back to the scene
of hostilities, and only left to set sail
for America in the middle of March.

The Seventh regiment of the New
York National Guard was given a mon
ster left-banded ovation in the Memo
rial day parade. The occasion was its
first public appearance since the war
with Spain, in which the regiment did
not participate. The rank and file had
long been dreading a demonstration.
The regiment had made several excur
sions to Creedmoor. but always in the
early hours, since that memorable day
when it decided not to volunteer in the
war with gpaln because Gov. Black and
AdJL-Gen. Tlllinghast would not call It
out as a whole, thus preserving the In
dividuality of the organization. Hard
ly had the doors of the armory been
closed after the regiment than the un
friendly demonstration began. Some
children in Sixty-seventh street greet
ed the soldiery with hisses and cat
calls. Not until the column began to
move down Fifth avenue, though, did
the Seventh get into really uncomfor
table surroundings. At Fifty-first
street the crowd grew more direct in
its comments. Toung men, boys and
occasionally old men jeered in derision.
"Why didn't you go to the war?"
piped up a youngster.
"Fraidcats!" cried another.
"Hello, tin soldiers!" said a spare
shouldered youth from the Hell's
Kitchen neighborhood.
It wad at the reviewing stand near
the Worth monument that the Seventh
had its severest trial. Maj.-Gen. Miles,
Mayor Van Wyck and many other dig
nitaries were there. The cheers for the
regular soldiery were still ringing
when the Seventh came into view.
There was a moment's silence.
'It's the Seventh," cried a man on
the fringe of the crowd.
"Featherbed soldiers!" "Get off the
earth!" "Why didn't you go to the
warT" yelled the crowd.
From the window of a house near
Twelfth street a pillow slip of feathers
was opened, and the wind carried the
down over the heads of the regiment.
"Featherbeds!" yelled the crowd.
Then the friends of the regiment
took their turn and tried to drown out
the hisses with cheers. The regiment
passed under the Washington arch,
turned into Fourth street and
marched to the Bowery and up to the
Ninth street elevated station. There
was no demonstration in the Bowery.
Counterfeit Heroes.
Civilians have come to the conclu
sion that the army building is not place
for loafers, and loafers who are civil
ians have reached the same decision,
says the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser. The employes of the govern
ment have been instructed to keep
their eyes open, and in case any man
is seen in the doorway or halls of the
army building with nothing particular
to do, to tell him to "move on." This
Etate of affairs has come to pass
through the swarm of swindlers who
have since the first transports came in
last fall, been robbing the repatriated
soldiers.
To escape the vigilance of the gov
ernment clerks and detectives some of
the swindlers have hit upon a scheme
by which a number of them profited to
the extent of quite a sum of money,
which they "buncoed" from some sol
diers. This scheme is nothing more or
less than obtaining old uniforms and
wearing them, thus posing as comrades
in arms. It is a fact that a soldier
will always trust a soldier, and many
have suffered through this.
This plan was very hard to break
up, as the army building is the head
quarters of soldiers who are waiting
for transportation, and as a rule there
are from 50 to 100 men about the build
ing at all times. However, a counter
scheme was planned by a clerk in the
transportation department and this
was to approach the would-be "heroes"
and ask them a few questions concern
ing the campaign. The results at
tained were astonishing. Rear-admirals,
colonels, a United States sena
tor, a captain of marines and a score
of civil-war heroes were inextricably
mixed with national guard and volun
teer officers of the present war. One
old charlatan was especially amusing.
He was gray-haired and wnn n Vo,r
York national guard uniform with full
dress coat and campaign hat. He was
stout to the bursting point and his ap
pearance was decidedly martial. His
face was scarlet, a color due to the
smallness of his belt. The investigator
approached him and asked him what
regiment he belonged to. The "hero"
pondered and finally said that he
wasn't quite sure.
"Not sure? Why. what's the matter
with you?"
"Why. you see, young fellow. It was
this way: My captain's name was
Roosevelt, but that's all I know, be
cause I -was wounded, and that hurled
me brain, see?"

The British admiralty has decided to
make a determined effort to maintain
the gunnery practice of the navy in the
highest possible state of efficiency.
Captains of large guns, and especially
of those mounted in turrets and bar
bettes, are to be given every opportu
nity for practice. By an ingenious ar
rangement the practice will be carried
out by small quick-firing guns, trained
and elevated under the same conditions
as the large weapons, the only differ
ence being that when the large gun is
accurately brought to bear on the ob
ject the small gun only will be fired,
thus preserving the life of the large
gun and effecting a large saving of
powder and shell. For this practice
there is to be no stint whatever of am
munition and the admiralty further re
quest commanding officers to clearly
understand that good shooting and ef
ficiency in the working of big guns are
always to be considered as taking prec
edence of all other duties. In arrang
ing the practice special attention is to
be given to the exercise of captains of
turrets ln judging distances, especial
ly of ships at sea. The admiralty will
substantially Increase the amount an
nually allowed as prize money for
heavy-gun practice.

LOVE IN A PALACE.
The loneliest court in Europe, and at
the time of the writing of this article
the court to which general observation,
is directed, is that of The Hague. The
palace is a small one. and it is ten
anted by young Queen Wilhelmina and,
her mother, with a few court ladled
and a swarm of servants. There are
few official receptions and state balls!
The queen and her mother have no re-i
lations living at The Hague, and arq
cut off by etiquette from the society
of the capital. They are constantly io
gether, but lead a life of routine am
dull monotony.
The royal mother, very naturally un
der the circumstances, is said to be a
matchmaker. The young queen, bejig
almost the last survivor of the House
of Orange, is expected to make a
speedy marriage, but she is In no haste
to do so, and insists upon having a
husband whom she can love, honor and
respect. Rarely has court match
making been conducted under condi
tions of greater difficulty.
The Dutch ministers contend that tht
prince consort must be a Protestant
prince, who is not under the influence
of the court of Berlin. These condi
tions have narrowed the choice to
about half a dozen princes. The suitors
have been invited to the royal country
seats in Holland, but the young queen
has not encouraged their advances.
One of them the Prince of Wied has
been considered the probable choice,
but the betrothal has been deferred so
long that the court gossips have now
concluded that it will never take place.
Certainly the royal match-maker has
recently been looking about in vari
ous quarters for another eligible part
ner. The queen is a high-spirited young
woman, with a will of her own, and
a strong vein of romantic sentiment
She has no idea of making an alliance
for the convenience of her Dutch sub
jects. She has the old-fashioned no
tion that a woman, even if she be a
queen, should love the man whom she
marries. Whenever she is pressed to
make up her mind, she quotes her
father's advice to her, cautioning her
against marrying in haste and repent
ing at leisure. She is devotedly at
tached to her mother, but she is her
own mistress and will not marry for
state reasons any man who canno'
command not only her respect but he
love.
Queen Wilhelmina may be anman
ageable, but there is good sense in the
position she has taken. The etiquette
of courts separates royalty from com
panionship outside the palaces. The
members of royal families largeiy live
apart even from the best society of
their capitals, and find happiness or
unhappiness In domestic life. Their
intercourse with the world is formal
and artificial. They are only at home
and without reserve among them
selves, and therefore love in a palace
seems to be quite as essential to con
tentment as love in a cottage.

Soils and Fertilisers.
Bulletin 136 of the New Jersey Ex
periment Station says: Great progress
has been made In the use of commer
cial fertilizers in the past few years.
A point of primary importance that
has been learned Is that their applica
tion is necessary in the profitable cult
ure of many of the crops grown in the
state. The question next in impor
tance to this is how to use the mate
rials containing the plant food ele
ments in order to secure the largest re
turn from their application to the dif
ferent crops. While the three con
stituents, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, are all essential, because all are
liable to exhaustion, nitrogen is the
one that should receive more careful
attention than the others first, be
cause it is the most expensive of the
three to supply; second, because the
forms in which it exists differ so wide
ly in their rate of availabilty or imme
diate usefulness to the plant, and third,
because when it is applied ln an Im
mediately available form it is so readi
ly soluble and so completely carried in
the soil water that there is great dan
ger of its loss by leaching.
The mineral elements, potash and
phosphoric acid, on the other hand, are
relatively cheap as compared with ni
trogen. In the case of potash, the
availability of the different forms in
which it Is usually obtained is not a
matter of importance, since all are
readily available, while in the case of
phosphoric acid the soluble and imme
diately available forms contained in
superphosphates may be obtained quite
cheaply as many of the organic forms,
as animal bone and tankage, which are
not so immediately useful. These min
eral elements, too, however soluble
when applied, are fixed by the soil, and
are thus not liable to rapid loss by
leaching. When the farmer applies the
minerals or materials containing phos
phoric acid or potash ln their best
forms his expenditure is not so great
as for an equal amount of nitrogen; he
can place his dependence upon its pres
ence there during the growing season,
and that the plants can readily obtain
it, and he can rest assured that if the
one season's growth of the plants does
not use the entire amount supplied, the
residues will remain for future crops,
though they may be less readily ac
quired by them. The chances of ob
taining in the crop at some time the
needed minerals applied, even when
used ln excess, are greater than those
from the application of nitrogen ln ex
cess, or even in moderate amounts, be
cause of the differences here briefly
outlined.
In the next place, the farmer should
remember that the best use of nitro
gen is attained when it is applied to
soils in good condition, rather than to
poor, worn-out soils, and he should
also consider whether, even if the in
creased yield from Its use should be as
great as can be expected, there is a pos
sibility of obtaining a profit The soils
to which high-grade fertilizers are ap
plied should possess good absorptive
and retentive properties, ln order that
the materials applied may oe held and
retained for the use of the crop, and
the physical character also should be
such as to permit a ready penetration
of heat and an easy circulation of wa
ter, conditions which are essential in
order that the activities within the
soil may be unimpeded, thus making
It possible for the plants to obtain their
needed food. In too many cases good
plant food is wasted, because applied
to mixtures of sand, clay and other ma
terials, rather than to soils in the true
ense.
Prepared Boll.
In some out-of-the-way corner, not
too near house, and yet not very far
away, have made an excavation a foot
deep and a few feet square. If in grass
ground have the sods in a heap by
themselves and the soil in another
heap. Put a layer of stable ma
nure in the bottom of the exca
vation and over it a layer of
sods (cut fine) and earth mixed.
Here throw the waste from the kitchen
vegetable parings, bean and pea pods,
weeds from the garden, clippings from
the lawn, faded boquets, rhubarb
leaves; also leaves from the forest, it
convenient to get Cover this collec
tion of waste, occasionally, with soil,
and water the mass with wash suds,
chamber slops and dish water, adding
dry soil in sufficient quantities to take
up the excess of moisture. Have the
mass worked over several times dur
ing the summer. Do not add to It after
the first of September, but start anoth
er heap. After a few days of dry
weather, in the latter part of Septem
ber, sift the soil in the first heap and
you will have an ideal compost ln
which to pot your winter plants, says
Vicks.
If the second heap gets rotted down
before cold weather, sift and mix with
one part sand to two partssoll, and
have something your winter bulbs will
enjoy. It isu't much work to prepare
the compost The waste and weeds
must go somewhere. The wash and
waste water must be disposed of, and
it is better to have a place where it
can be turned to good account than
to let it all go down the sink drain, to
breed sewer gas, or into an open drain
to breed flies and foul smells. If not
diphtheria and typhoid.
Honey Dew.
I make no great pretentions to
knowledge, but having lived all my
life in the woods of southern Indiana,
I have had a chance to learn some
thing of this much talked of Honey
Dew, and I am free to take the ground
that there is no such thing, and I will
give any man five dollars on receipt of
one pound of honey that can be proved
to have been gathered from deposits
of aphides, says a writer in Farm
Journal.
Next summer, say the last of June
or during July, when the weather is
warm and moist, what is generally
called splendid growing weather, take
a trip out into the woods in the after
noon, climb up into an oak, hickory or
ash tree and examine the leaves, and
you will find small particles of dried
substance on the leaves. Be sure to
have a glass with you and you will
find a small rupture on the top side of
the leaf, showing that the substance
dried on the leaf has exuded from it
Now touch your tongue to this dry
substance and you will find it sweet
as sugar, and on the ash, hickory, pop
lar, pear and maple you will find it of
a pleasant flavor, but on the oak it
will not be so pleasant At that time
you will find no bees working on the
leaves, but early the next morning re
turn to your investigation and you
will find these same trees alive with
bees, prov!J-a there was a fall of dew
the night before, as this substance)
must be dissolved before the bees cam,
handle It
In localities here, where no oak or
black gum timber grows, we get no
better honey than is gathered from
the so-called honey dew. The two
kinds mentioned seem to make it very
dark.
Kafir Cora for Steers.
Some experiments in steer feeding
on Kafir corn at the Oklahoma Experi
ment station gave the following prac
tical results:
L Kafir stover contained as much
digestible matter as average corn
-stover.
2. Kafir fodder contained 10 per
cent less digestible matter than aver
age corn fodder.
3. Kafir heads contained one-third
as much digestible matter as average
corn-and-cob-meal.
4. Kafir corn fed in the heads was
neither more nor less digestible than
when fed after thrashing.
5. Kafir corn fed after soaking ln
water for twelve hours was less di
gestible, than when fed dry
6. Kafir corn fed dry contained 40
per cent less digestible matter than
coarsely ground Kafir meal.
7. Kafir meal, coarsely ground, con
tained 20 per cent less digestible mat
ter than average corn meal.
8. It paid to Grind Kaflr Corn One
hundred pounds of Kaflr meal con
tained as much digestible matter as
one hundred and sixty-seven pounds ot
Kafir corn.
9. A gain of thirteen per cent In the
amount of digestible matter was se
cured when Kafir fodder was thrashed,
the grain ground and fed to steers
along with the shredded stover from
the fodder.
10. A gain of less than two per cent
in the amount of digestible matter was
secured when Kaflr fodder was thrash
ed, and the resulting Kafir corn fed to
steers along with the shredded stover
from the fodder.
Repairing; an Underdraln.
While it is true that a deeply laid
underdraln with even fall will seldom
get out of repair, there are many drains
which are dug with fall which varies
much ln different parts, says Ameri
can Cultivator. It is just here that
the break is most likely to occur. In
the suddent arrest of a body of rapid
ly falling water, either the stone or
tile are liable to be turned one side,
and when the water reaches the nearly
level part of the drain it backs up hill
until it accumulates enough force to
break an opening to the surface,
whence It often runs over the drain
that is empty below. There will gen
erally be found an obstruction some
feet below where the break occurred,
and by digging until this is located,
and removing it, the repairs of the
drain can be made with little difficulty,
provided it is done the same season
that the break occurs. If left longer
the result will be that the neglected
drain will have its channel filled with
mud, so that it will be easier and
cheaper to take it all out and build a
new drain than to attempt to repair
it Yet so difficult is the task of re
pairing a drain while the ditch is filled
with water that there is temptation to
leave the work until there is less mud
and slush. In other words, much of a
drain is ruined to save some disagree
able work in muddy water.
Feeding; Value of Rape.
Rapt has a high feeding value. It
makes an excellent feed for fattening
sheep and swine and for producing an
abundant flow of milk in milch cows.
On account of danger of tainting the
milk many people do not feed it to the
cows until after milking. Rape can be
used to good advantage as a part of the
ration for animals that are being fed
in pens for market or for the show
ring. It is also a valuable food for
young lambs at weaning time. By be
ginning as early as practicable in the
spring, and seeding at intervals of twe
or three weeks, a continuous succession
of rape can be produced throughout the
period when the permanent pastures
are most likely to be short Rape will
endure quite severe cold weather, and
will thus last a long time after the
ordinary pasture grasses succumb to
the frost By the use of this crop,
stock can be gotten into good condition
for the holiday markets or for winter,
and there need be no check in growth,
fat and milk production through In
sufficient succulent food during the late
summer and autumn months, as Is too
frequently the case. T. A. Williams.
The Pansy.
The pansy is a lover of cool weathei.
It gives its largest, finest flowers, and
its most profuse crop of them, In the
spring and during the early summer,
and, if the plants have been properly
treated, again in the fall. It would no
doubt continue to bloom as freely dur
ing the summer as In spring or fall if
the weather conditions were the same.
But as soon as the intense heat of the
midsummer comes on the vitality of
the plant begins to be affected, and this
accounts for the Indications of
"dwindling," mentioned by my corre
spondent Its flowers become smaller
and smaller, until they are wholly un
like, in all respects, the magnificent
specimens of May and June. And as
the heat of the season, generally ac
companied with more or less drouth,
increases, the plants-seem to die off by
inches. The red spider, encouraged by
dry weather, which he delights in, adds
his efforts to the work of the heat, and
the luxuriant plants of spring are hard
ly recognizable in July and August

Forest Tree Planting In New York.
New York Is experimenting in forest
tree planting. The state owns large
stretches of burnt over Adirondack
timber land, which is now growing up
to useless scrub, and upon this the
state college of forestry is planting
spruce, white pine and other valuable
timber trees. At the same time a nurs
ery has been started with seed enough
to furnish three million seedlings,

J. H. N., Atlantic la., questions as
follows:
A has bought the exclusive right to
my patented invention for two states.
B, a resident of one of said states,
buys from A a lot of the manufactured
articles covered by my patent Now
C comes from another state and buys
the articles from B. Has C the right
to sell the articles outside of the two
state for which A holds the exclusive
right?
Answer. A has no right in the mat
ter outside of the two states for which
he has an exclusive right and he can
not grant any right to B to make, vend
and use the invention in any other ter
ritory and if C buys from B and sells
outside of A's territory C will be an
infringer of your patent and all who
become purchasers and users of your
invention sold by B to C as stated will
be infringers and liable to prosecu
tion. Questions relating to patent office
business, the rights of inventors, pat
entees and assignees of divided or un
divided interests in patents, will be
cheerfuyy answered.

If you know a man to be a liar you
can trade horses with him under
standing. Last week the United States patent
office issued 413 patents to inventors
. of the United States,
j and of this number 122
tire rights in their var
ious patents before the
same were issued. This
' would show that over
L 25 per cent ot the in
ventors were successful
in disposing of the whole or a part of
their inventions. Amongst the large
concerns who bought these patents
were the following:
Avery Stamping Co., Cleveland, O.
Open Arc Electric Co., New York
City.
Bick & Haffman Co., Marcedon, N. Y.
Blasius Table Slide Co., Watertown,

Prof. William Cunningham of Cam
bridge, England, opens the July At
lantic with a valuable paper on Eng
lish Imperialism, in which he shows
the gradual development of English
policy from the nationalism of a hun
dred years ago (which meant the ex
ploiting of all colonies and possessions
for the benefit of the mother country),
to the cosmopolitanism of the present
day, which seeks the greatest good
of all through fair play and equal
treatment to all men and nations
Horace Howard Furness, the distin
guished Shakesperean scholar, con

Nothing," in advance of its appear

luminate and adorn, and the present
paper is no exception to the rule.

A rather curios fact is pointed out
by the writer of an article in the July
Century on "The Making of 'Robinson
Crusoe.' " There are two monuments
to Alexander Selkirk, it seems, and
not a single one to Daniel Defoe; yet
if Selkirk's adventuces as a castaway
had not been taken as the theme of
the novelist's immortal story the
only English book that rivals "Pil
grim's Progress" in popularity the
present generation would probably
never have known of the Scotch sail
or's existence. One of the two monu
ments referred to is a statue at Sel
kirk's birthplace, Largo; the other Is
a tablet on the "Lookout," two thou
sand feet above the sea, on Juan Fer
nandez island.

by Josiah Flynt in his article in the
