WHITE MILLS.
April 14. Spring is here and now
is the time to prepare for garden
work. Head lettuce is a vegetable
that will repay for good culture,
but you must raise it very early to
have good results. Spade over your
richest piece of soil that you have
in your garden and it should be
where there is good drainage so
that the water will pass off freely.
For spring planting the plants should
have been raised in a cold frame, as
they do not suffer so much from
the cold when transplanted In the
open ground, as if they were raised
in a hotbed. If you do not have
those plants at hand it is too late
to begin with the cold frame for
out-door planting this season. Just
as soon as the ground can be safely
worked plant seed in beds about
twelve feet long, four feet wide
and a foot apart in the rows. Soon
as- the plants are well up thin out
to ten or twelve inches apart in the
rows and prepare another bed, and
transplant another bed the same
size as the first, using the plants
from the first bed. This will give
you a good supply of, lettuce for a
family from seven to eight. Do
not use fresh manure. One or two
years is preferable unless spaded in
the ground In the fall. Lettuce
should never be allowed to get dry.
Plenty t of manure and a quick
growth will not raise lettuce ii a
palatable state unless you keep
putting water on abundantly every
night when there is no rain. A
bed of lettuce when nearly fit to
cut left two or three days in the.
sun without water will become
tough and bitter and unfit for the
table. When lettuce is raised un
der proper conditions it should be
from one to one-half pounds in
weight with the outside leaves all
stripped off, and when you take
one of the inner leaves and give it
a slight jerk it will break clean in
two, instead of holding together,
which would signify that it was
tough, bitter and unfit for use un
less wilted.
The Big Boston Is the best variety
for this purpose.
If you have not planted your
sweet peas, don't delay any longer.
The earlier you plant them the bet
ter will be the flower. Peas for

ready to gather from the 12th to
the 17th of June; that Is the early
variety.

CITIZEN'S 5 MILK RACK.
In hopes that every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are heroin - prlntod for their guid
ance. First, boforo competing, or even'
entering upbn the course- of train
lug necessary to corapeto in this
event safely, -each athlete Is ad
vised to haTO his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered In
his practice, but he should likewise
weaf a loose fitting pair of long
woolen trousers,, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
soles, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
While the man running feels
warm, his arms and shoulders being
exposed to the cold air it is very
easy for him to contract rheuma
tism and colds, which will result
later In life In much pain and dis
comfort. v
The training should be started
with long walks at a rapid gait with
frequent Jogs, and the distance of
the jog snould be gradually in
creased until by the 15 of May every
contestant can "safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of five miles without great
inconvenience. He should be es
pecially sure to cover up warmly af
ter his work, and alter his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor
mal rhythm, and his temperature
has become normal, to be rubbed
down In a warm room, free from
draughts, after which he should rest
in bed warmly covered up for at
least an hour.
Since the race is to be in the af
ternoon, the best time to train for
this race isat that hour.
Tobacco and liquor should be
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially is this true of the
young athlete who has not formed
the habit of depending upon these
stimulants.
Four times around the Central
Park Is a mile.
Entries snould be made as soon
as possible.
Straightened It Out.
Archbishop Magee was once present
at a full dress debate on the eastward
posltlbn, when doubts were expressed
as to the exact meaning of the words
"before the table." After a speech or
two Dr. Magee seized a piece of paper
and wrote: "As to the phrase, Tho
piper played before Moses.' doubts
have arisen. Some believe Its mean
ing to be that the piper played before
Moses that Is, at a period anterior to
his birth. Others hold that the piper
nlaved before Moses In the sense of
preceding the great lawgiver when he
danced, while others teach that the
piper played (coram Mose) before or
In the presence of Moses when the son
of Amran dined. All these nrc wrong.
The phrase Is to be understood as im-
nlvlne that the piper played at tne
north end of Moses, looking south."
The document was handed up to Arch
bishop Talt, who looked grave.
Striking a Match.
"It's a woman," said Lecoq, the de
tective, heatedly. "We're on the trail."
"It looks like a man to me," the re
porter murmured.
"But didn't you notice how she
struck that match," said Lecoq. "She
struck It away from her a sure sign
of her sex. Men always strike matches
toward them."
After the arrest of the suspect a
woman, sure enough Lecoq amplified
his match statement. "It Is tobacco
that causes this difference between the
sexes In match striking," he said,, "All
of us unconsciously strike matches to
ward what we are going to light.
Woman always Is going to light a
lamp or a fire that Is, farther off than
the match so she strikes her match
away from her. But man Is always
going to light a pipe or cigarette that
Is, nearer so he strikes his match to
ward him."
An Old Larch Tree.
Italy can boast of a larch tree the
age of which Is estimated to be 2,000
years. It Is situated on the northern
flank of Mont Cbctip in the dircctlou
of the huts of Plan Venl, above Cour
mayeur, a few steps from the foot
path that skirts the limits of the
meadowland. Due allowance being
made for the extreme slowness with
which the larch grows, for the altitude
above sea level (l.OoO meters) at which
It is rooted and for its northerly ex
posure in the near neighborhood of the
glacier, where the cycle of its devel
opment is barely five months every
year, this venerable larch, untouched
alike by woodman's ax and thunder
bolt, cannot be less than 2,000 years
old. Scotsman.

CHIME IN RACING TIPS.
Los
Angeles Fines Woman and
Men
For Selling Newspapers.
Los Angeles, C'al., April 15. A wo
man and seven men were fined hero
for selling Ban Francisco newspaperp
containing tips on horse races. Justice
Frederlckson in Imposing the fines
said:
"The people of this community de
sire that we shall not have racing ot
any of lis attendant features, and you
must live up to the laws they have
made in this respect."
Sham Peace In the Balkans.
There are reasons for believing that
while Germany and Austria arc -cry-
lug up their new deal to give peace to
the Balkans the chances of warlike
turmoil, if not of a general war, are
the same as before. The Servians
have been sandbugged Into approval
of the treaty smashing tactics of Aus
trUi. The interests of their race have
been sacrificed, and Servla proper Is
reduced to a state of vassalage. This
has been done to dispel the war cloud
In the Balkans and means peace
founded in injustice.
Civilization cannot get forward with
out treading upon somebody's corns,
but at the same time defiance of right
and wrong may go so far as to de
feat its own ends. There must be
something ominous under the surface
in the Balkans to justify tearing up
solemn treaties and crucifying racial
aspirations to keep the fire within
bounds. If the whole thing Is a game
between the big powers, this play of
Austria, backed by Germany, may in
sure a long peace. Much depends
upon the amount of red blood left In
the veins of the Balkan subjects, and
whether their -corns have been cut out
by the roots or merely put to sleep by
diplomacy's mind cure.
We can smile at the fears of Euro
pean art promoters that a lower tariff
will empty their galleries of master
pieces. It will pay Uncle Sam to buy
liberally if the annual exodus of the
idle rich can be lessened by setting up
shop at home.
It might lend Interest to the current
discussion as to whether singers
should have children to let some of the
children already involved without
their consent speak to the question.
Let us be frank when admitting that
we know nothing about the Nleara-
guau question and add that we don't
care to know even a little bit.
It is an net of.some courage to take
either side Ih the tariff war and a
stunt of real endurance to read a tariff
speech to the end.

A Check on Wild Appropriations
The new committee In the senate
to exercise ceneral control over an-
proprlatlon bills will have greater pow
ers than the budget committees of any
other parliament In the world. Every
financial operation of the government
wil'. con e under Its supervision. It
was announced during the last ses
Blon of the Sixtieth congress that re
trenchment would be the order of the
day for the Sixty-first.
The creation of a committee on pub
lic expenditures, with authority to ad
just outlay to income, is an innova
tion. Heretofore the several commit
tees having appropriations in charge
worked" for ns large an appropriation
as possible for a single interest with
but subordinate regard for the needs
of other departments of government
The fate of an appropriation is finally
settled in the senate, 'and now the
wonderful power of the upper house is
to be centralized in a few hands. This
action narrows responsibility and is
intended for a check upon wild appro
priations.
