Early Cultivation.—Few peo-
ple appreciate the value of early
cultivation of the soil about fruit
ffants and vines. Nearly
growth of trees is made in
the first few weeks and months
of spring and summer. If culti-
vation is not given at this critical
period the trees will be stunted
in growth no matter how much
cultivation is given in July, Aug-
ust and September. Just as
soon as the ground is dry enough
to work nicely in the spring cul-
tivation should begin among ail
kinds of small and large fruits.
If this early cultivation is not
given the ground is liable to be-
come so hard it is exceeding dif-
ficult to get it into good conditi-
on, but if cultivation is begun
early when the soil is little moist
the earth is easily broken up and
kept fine throughout the season.
Played Cards With Scott
One of die most interesting men
in this ‘country is John Swartout,
who, in his 85th year, lives in a
beautiful country house two miles
above Benton, on the Bloomsburg
and Sullivan railroad, twenty-three
miles north of Bloomsburg, Pa. He
is a direct descendant of the cele-
brated John Swartout, who was
collector of the port of New York,
and is the last of his generation. He
formerly lived in West Point. His
wife, Mary Berard, was a sister of
the late Blanche Berard, for many
years postmistress at West Point.
He settled in the woods above Ben-
ion in the ’50s. At West Point he
played cards with General Winfield
Scott, and knew all his contempora-
ries. His reminiscences of the early
days of the military academy would
fill a book with rich reading. There
has been some doubt about the last
words of General Scott, but proba-
bly it is true that they concerned his
horse, which he loved more than
anything on earth. The animal fol-
lowed him to the grave. Just be-
fore the old veteran breathed his
last, he said to his body servant:
“James, take good care of the
horse.” Frederick the Great’s dy-
ing words were in reference to his
favorite greyhound.

The Broom Displaced.
Our British cousins are said to
be slow-witted, but they sometimes
hit on a good idea, as, for exam-
ple, the housecleanipg device in-
vented by a Londoner and described
by Consul Mahin, of Nottingham,
in a recent report to the state de-
partment. The device consists es-
sentially of an air pump which will
suck air at a rapid rate into a tube
flattened at the movable end. The
opening at the end of the tube is,
in fact, a long, narrow slit. When
it is rubbed over the carpet or up
and down the cloth covering of set-
tees or chaws it quickly sucks out
all the dust, extracting it not only
from the surface, but also from the
body of th,e substance and from un-
derneath it—the underfelt being
thus cleaned. Not a particle of
dust can be detected if the carpet
is then beaten. No dust is raised
in a room. All is sucked throug the
hose into the filter. In a similar
way walls 1 tay be cU ned of dust,
the cleaner being a brush of horse-
shoe shape, with an exhaust tube in
the center. The machine may be on
wheels or stationary. In hotels,
theaters, large business houses and
the like it is proposed to install per-
manent stationary plants, so Tthat
cleaning can take place daily, thus
practically abolishing sweeping.
Prince Henry’s Large Squadron.
Prince Henry is cruising in
French, Portuguese and Spanish
waters with the largest squadron of
modern ships that Germany ever
put to sea. He has the battleships
Kaiser Friederich III., Kaiser Wil-
helm der Grosse, Kaiser Barbaros-
as, Wittlsbach, Zahringen and Wet-
tin ; the armored cruisers Prinz
Heinich and Victoria Luise and the
four protected cruisers Amazone,
Ariadne, Medusa and Frauenlob.
Friday and Saturday last the squad-
ron was to have coaleci at sea from
eighty colliers under war condi-
tions, no matter what the weather
was.
Why the Sky is Blue.
At the recent annual congress of
the Swiss Society of Natural
Sciences, held at Berne, a new and
interesting theory as to the origin
of the appearance of the higher at-
mosphere, which is popularly styled
as the “blue sky,”'was advanced by
M. Spring, a well known scientist
of Liege. Hitherto the azure tint
has been supposed to be due to the
refraction of light upon minute cor-
f scies disseminated in the air.
A. Spring, however, has conceived
a new explanation of the phenome-
non. f Pie has carried on a number
of experiments with luminous rays
under almost all conceivable con-
ditions, injecting them into agitated
solutions and into a glass tube con-
taining pseudo solutions such as
chlorides of aluminum, of absolute
limpidity, but although he could
obtain red, yellow, violet, etc., un-
der no circumstances could he ob-
tain blue until by the use of electric-
ity he secured a perfectly pure at-
mosphere in which blue was clear-
ily discernible. M. Spring there-
fore concludes that the blue of the
sky is purely electrical in origin
and is an essential quality of the
air.
Newfoundland Wreckers.
People living along the coast of
Newfoundland are “wreckers” to a
man—not in the criminal sense, but
expert in striping and unloading
such vessels as are tossed up on
their shores. In fact, they count
on prospective earnings of this kind.
Father Hennebury, priest at Tre-
passey, near Cape Race, was din-
ing one day with the late Bishop
Power, of St. John’s. “How wili
your people get along this winter?”
said the bishop. “Very well, my
lord,” was the priest’s cheerful an-
swer, “with the help of God-—and a
few wrecks,”
Bad Fit of AbsenLIVlindedness.
Many stories are told of Lord
Salisbury’s absent-minciedness,
and among the most amusing is
one King Edward tells as a good
joke on himself. The king is quot-
ed as saying: “Not long ago,
while having an audience with
tne, he gave me a beautiful exam-
ple of thinking aloud. On a ta-
ble close to his lordship stood a
photograph of myself. Lord Sal-
isbury, taking it up, gazed at it
for a few moments, and then re-
marked: ‘Poor old duffer; I won-
der if he is as stupid as he looks
to be?”
A Ruined Life.
“What became of your brother
Charles? 1 regarded him as a very
promising young man.”
“I’m ashamed to tell you! He
fell into bad company, went from
bad to worse, became involved in
some dishonorable transactions and
finally landed in the Missouri legis-
lature. It broke father’s heart 1”

Steel Trust’s Enormous Earnings,
It is stated by a statistician that
the United States Steel Corpora-
tion is earning as much net mon-
ey for its securities as all the rail-
roads of the United States put to-
gether, with their capital stock of
$6,000,000,000, paid in dividends
last year, namely, $140,000,000.
Steel stock is scattered over four
continents. Dividend checks are
mailed to Shanghai, Cape Town,
Calcutta and many other places
in the antipodes. Some of the
checks sent out take more than
six months to return to their start-
ing point. So says an able writer
on finance. It is good .that the
stock is made of steel. Otherwise
it would have been hammered to
pieces.
Don’t.
Don’t get the notion that the
curative power of a medicine ex-
ists in a name. It must be in the
medicine itself. You may not
have heard of Re-Go Tonic Lax-
ative Syrup. It is not made of
figs because the laxative princi
pie of figs are the seeds, yet it is
as pleasant to take as figs are to
,eat and is a certain cure for bil-
iousness, constipation, indiges-
tion and stomach trouble. The
name is Re-Go,which in Sanscrit
means “good.” The merit is all
in the medicine itself. Sold by
Ambrose Johnson.
Floods and Fires.
There is no board of equalization
for the bounties of nature. While
one section of the Union is -afloat
with freshets, and its fields are be-
coming soggy with an overplus of
moisture, another great section is
literally burning up with a drouth
that every day becomes more alarm-
ing. In almost the whole of New
York state, and in a great part of
New Jersey and New England, as
well as across the line in Canada
the grass crop is gone, the corn and
the vegetable crops cannot make a
start in their growth, and the for-
ests are burning like tinder at a
moment when they lush vegetation
should be dewy all day with the
nourishing rains of June. Even the
peaty earth of the bogs and marshes
is on fire. This unequal distribu-
tion of the sustaining waters is - a
mystery past solution either by the
theologians or the meteorologists.
As long as it is so, we can only con-
cern ourselves with the effects.
Roc Eggs.
The supply of roc eggs is ap-
parently not yet exhausted in Mad-
agascar, for a fresh specimen was
brought over recently from Antan-
anarivo to Johannesburg, its finder
doubtless regarding the Rand capi-
tal as the most likely market in the
South African quarter. The egg
was put up for sale by auction, “be-
tween the chains,” the other day,
and after some spirited bidding was
sold for $100. Being, comparative-
ly speaking, a fresh egg, the price
paid for it is probably a fair one,
but after it passes through a few
,more auctions its figure may roach
the regular market standard, which
has lately been well over $300.
n iMomStinging Mosquito.
Dr. William Lyman Underwood,
bacteriologist of the Boston board
of health, has announced the dis-
covery of a new species of mo-
squitoes twice as large as those that
for ages have pestered humanity.
The new creature is a non-stinging,
non-biting member of the tribe, and
«uds in destroying mosquitoes that
do sting, its larvae feasting on the
larvae of the pest. According to
the doctor, who has made many ex-
periments, the larvae of the new
mosquitoes wil kill as many young
biting mosquitoes floating in still
water as will small fish, which hith-
erto have been considered our chief
protection against the pest.
A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin .of Winchester,
Ind., knew what to do in the hour
of need. His wife fhad such an
unusual case of stomach and
liver trouble, physicians could
not help her. He thought of and
tried Dr. King’s New Life Pills
and she got relief at once and
was finally cured. Only 25c., at
A. Johnson’s drug store.
Tl 3 Popular Fad of “Munching.”
One of the popul^L^adl in New-
port at present
which means merely
slowly. Munching is
merous preventatives
avoirdupois, and as it
ognition of King Edwafd iff
urally regarded with much favor by'
Newport. The theory is that every
particle of food must be chewed
slowly and carefully until no solid
material remains to be swallowed.
Slow eating is merely carried to
an extreme by the new treatment.
All London society theratened with
too much flesh is said to be chewing
very long and very thoroughly and
American converts to the system
are already numerous. Its effect
is said to be noticeable at dinners,
which have come to be known as
munching parties and are much less
vivacious than they wwe when eat-
ing and drinking wr f. on rapidly.
Persons who eat s >wly also eat
much less than those vho eat rapid-
