The A rizona Legislature has passed a
hill which provides tha* i i | m » i the peti
tion of the parents of fifty pupils in in-
orporated cities ai d towns a teacher
must be employed to teach Spanish. The
strongest opposition was from the sec
tions where Mexicans predominate. The
ground of the opposition was that the
result would certainly tie the exclusion
of English in many schools.
The great project of irrigating the Mo
jave desert by means of a mammoth
dam to la- built at Victor Narrows, on
the lino of the Southern California rail
road, appears to he an assured fact.
Documents for the formation of a com
pany have ts-en completed and signisl.
The capitalists interested are Eastern
men from Duluth and elsewhere. The
expenditure involved ¡»about $1,5IH>,000.
“ There’s more whisky on the west
ciiast than in Victoria,” remarked Frank
Adams, who has just returnisl to Vic
toria, it. C., from that s»c*ion. “ The
Indians are all drunk, and the s«‘alers
have a hard time in getting a crew.
Whisky is being smuggled in by the
wholesale, and the red men are having a
high old time. The whisky is coming
from the American side. I never saw so
much drunkenness on that coast. There
dof-s not seem to Is; any government
control there at all.”
The Chinese Six Companies at San
Fran* isco have issued a new circular of-
ticiallv and openly advising the Chinese
to refits, compliance with the Geary law.
A translati«in of the circular is in part as
follows: “ This registration law is not
right. All authorities we have consult«sl
agree to this. We have employed five
attorneys to go to Washington at the
Supreme Court to fight this unjust law.
W ait until May Sbemre you do anything.
W ait and we w ill help you. The Chi
nese Minister has gone to the head men
of the government to get derisions, and
we ho|*‘ to get them wmn, in order that
our people may not lie arre-ted and sent
to jail. We ought to do w hat is right
and not pay monev for registration, and
thus lose our respectability.”

F rom th e S e c reta ry .
Secretary Morton of the Department
of Agriculture lias devised a plan to test
the fitness of applicants for position»
not governed by the civil-service rules.
Each applicant on filing his application
w ill he required to answer a set of ques
tions as to moral and physical qualifica
tions and on the work wltieh he will lie
required to perform. H e ho|>cs hv this
means to secure a high standard in the
department.
A Republican Senator, who stands
high in the party councils, says the pro
mised Senatorial investigations of a pri
vate character and the reorganization
schemes will come to nothing this ses-
ieion. They cannot he considered while
! the contested seats are under considera
tion, and when that subject is disused
j of the Senate will probably adjourn, as
the quorum would otherwise disappear
! within two days after tite President no
tified the Senate he lias no further busi
ness to present to it.
Secretary Carlisle is having prepared
a list of the employes of the lTeasurv
Department, with the salaries they re
ceive, and will have it arranged hv
States. The list lias lieen prepared al
ready to such an extent as to show a
great disproportion among the States,
some having many more clerks than their
proy°r quota and others less. The Sec
retary, it is understood, intends hv every
means in his power to reduce the Dis
trict of Columbia’s list of employes so
that the States may receive their proper
quota of appointments.
Assistant Secretary Bussey lias ren
dered an important decision in the mat
ter of the claim of Joseph P. Smith for
an increase of pension on the ground of
new disabilities, in w hich lie overrules
the action of the Commissioner of Pen
sions in allowing an attorney fee of $10.
The claim for increase was made under
the act of June 27, I8!K), and the Assist
ant Secretary holds that all such claims
should lie treated as strictly increase
claims whether new disabilities are
claimed or not, for which a fee of only
$2 can lie allowed. It is said that prob
ably 200.000 claims w ill be affected by
this decision.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re
lations held a meeting the other morn
ing. It is understood that, while favor
able to making public the text of tlio
Russian treatv, it was unable to agree
UlMin a favorable report by reason of dis
agreements relative to the correspond
ence accompanying the convention. A
well-known Senator, who is tlie cham
pion of general humanitarian legisla
tion, states that, when published, the
treaty will lie found neither more nor
less objectionable than several other
treaties which have been in operation
for some years. The criticisms, lie says,
arc due to a conception of the elleet of
the instrument upon the garbled ex
tracts of a surreptitious publication of
the treaty first sent to the Senate.
Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle w hile
looking into the expenditures of the
Behring Sea Commission reached some
allowances which were extravagant and
should he discontinued. It appears that
everybody connected with the commis
sion, from the stenographer dow n. Ii ive
been given very liberal allowances, which
the officials of this administration in
clude under the head of “ useless extrav
agance.” There are, it is said, eight or
ten officials connected with the commis
sion who are receiving more than double
pay by drawing $11 to $15 per day in ad
dition to regular salaries, which range
frm i $1,500 to $5,500 per annum. Hu
mors of these exposures have made
quite a stir in the department, and some
interesting developments are expected.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding lias
written the following letter to Collectors
on the Pacific Coast: “ The department
is informed that the practice obtains
among Chinese laborers in this country
of entrusting money to merchants, w liiefi
is treated as a part of the capital in the
business. Chinese laborers who have
made such a disposition of their savings,
although not actually engaged in busi
ness, have claimed to bt; merchants, and
sav they are thereby entitled to leave the
country and return at pleasure. The de
partment desires you to closely scrutin
ize the certificates which may lie pre
sented at your i«>rl by returning I Itinese
and to require evidence of the standing
of the holders as bona-tlde merchants,
actively engaged in business. In no ease
should Chinese he permitted to enter as
merchants unless their right to the p riv
ilege is clearly established, and where it
ap|iears tlie practice herein referred to is
attempted the certificates presented
slioulo ls‘ ignored, the holders arrested
and the facts reported to the depart
ment.”
The question of sheathing our naval
vessels is one to which Secretary Herbert,
it is said, proposes to give some earnest
consideration. Naval Constructor Ilieli-
born has prepared some ini|N>rtant data
on the subject. He shows that the A t
lanta on her trial trip with a clean bot
tom attained a speed of 15.5 knots
an hour with a 3,345-liorse power,
while the Boston, her exact duplicate,
with a comparatively foul bottom made
hut 13.8 knots on 3,31K)-horse power.
Constructor Hichborn holds that t ic Im
portance (*f the preservation of the isit-
totn of steel vessels from corrosion ami
fouling can hardly lx; overestimated and
is continually emphasised by the reports
of loss of speed and inrreaiwd coal con
sumption riseivisl from our new un
sheathed steel vessels now in c«>iiimis-
sion. Unless our cruisers are to lie con-
finisl to eniis«'S of short duration in H ip
neighborhood of our own ports, It would
appear that they are deficient in the
most important quality— the ability to
maintain high sjxx-d at sea for long pe
ri oils. The additional expense incurred
in putting on the sheathing of wuxxl and
copper is in reality a great saving dur
ing the lifetime of a ship, as it obviates
the necessity of frequent dis king and
the largely increased coal hills when the
the metal bottom is foul. For a vessel
like the Chicago the cost would Is' be
tween $1X10 and $400 for iks king alone.
To this sum must be addisl alsiilt # 1,000
for scraping and painting. In Great
Britain competition has brought the
charges f” r privet«’ docks down to a min
imum, hut the d«s*ks in India, China,
Australia and on the Pacific Coast are
very expensive. Captain Midilsirn rec
ommends that all cruising vessels in
tended for general service in foreign w a
ters lx* siiealhfxl if alxive 1,000 tons dis
placement. and that vessels of less than
1,000 tons displacement intended for gen
eral service as cniisimr guiiUiat", etc., lx-
of »com posite construction, with st«x l-
framing wood outside, planking and cop
per sheathing.

I f one does not have a propagating
house, he need not on that account go
without early plants, for a box in the
house or an easily constructed hotbed
will answer the purpose very satisfacto
rily. Indeed many truck gardeners who
raise a considerable variety of early veg
etables never have anything more costly
titan tin; simplest kind of hotbeds. The
early starting of plants in this way pre-
sunposes that it was thought of and pro
vided for Ix-foro winter set in. It would
not tx> easy in most cases to obtain the
proper kind of soil or compost at this
season of tite [year, and if no prepara
tion has been made, the plant must be
laid aside, unless some one else more
provident can supply the necessary soil.
A good, light, sandy loam—the richer
and lighter the better— makes a gixxl
enough soil. Before using it should be
run through a sieve, so as to remove all
stones, lumps and rubbish. A table-
spoonful of superphosphate to each half
bushel of soil may be added to advant
age, and five or six quarts of peat moss
or sphagnum, such as nursery tnen use
for packing, thoroughly dried and sifted,
to tite half bushel of soil make an excel
lent material for starting seeds. If it is
thought tix> much labor to make hotbeds,
lx>xes alxiut thirty inches long, twelve
inches wide and three inches deep, made
of half-inch stutl, may lx- used in the
house. These mav he placed on a flower
stand or on the window sill, where they
should be so secure that they will not lie
knocked off. Where a la go number of
plants is not required, these boxes are
all that are necessary, and they are a
source of pleasure and instruction as
well as of mere utility, especially if there
are children in the family old enough to
observe and assist. A hotbed should, if
nossible, he placed on the south side of
fence or building, where it will lx« pro
tected from the severe winds and at the
game time receive the full benefit of the
sun’s rays. There are two ways of mak
ing it. One is to place fermenting ma
nure on the surface of the ground, tak
ing care to build it tip in an even, solid
mass, with the long anil short manure
equally distributed, until it is from two
feet to’ thirty inches high. It should !>e
alxntt two feet longer and wider than the
frame of the hotbed, as the center will
be hotter than the outside of the mass.
Another method is to dig a pit two feet
longer and wider than the frame, fill it
with the manure and tread it down
evenly and solidly. A convenient size
for the sash is 3xG feet. The frames
should be made of two-inch plank, the
hack twelve ami the front eight inches
wide, which allows sufficient slope to
carry off water from the sash. Thu sides
should, of course, lx; planed down to fit
the two ends, end the hack and front
pieces beveled off, so that the sash will
lit closely at the ends and sides. A sin
gle brace across the middle of the frame,
the short way, is enough to make it firm
if two-inch lumber is used. The soil
may he put into the frame as soon as it
is in place. Six or eight inches of soil is
better than a shallower bed, as when
once heated through it will retain the
heat longer, and the plants will be less
likely to hum than if in closer contact
with the hot manure. Seisls should not
he sown for at least a week after the beds
begin to heat. Meantime the weeds and
grass will sprout, ami may he re
moved before the seed is put in. A grxxl
deal of care and exix-rienec is required
to regulate a hotlxxf. It must )>e guarded
against both heat and cold and overheat
ing— the former by covering with Isiards
or mats at night, the latter by proper
ventilation when the sun shines brightly.
But it will repay all the trouble it costs
if successfully managed.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Try high feeding with old Brindle.
There have been some remarkable
yields by very common cows.
A go«xl horse can no more stand on
ha<l feet than a gixsl house can stand on
a ha>l foundation.
Perhaps your old Brindle has never
hail a full ration in her life. Not that
she has not been experimented with to
find out how much site could eat.
If you have a cow that always excels
the others in yield breed her to a pure
bred dairy bull, and if she has a heifer
calf treat that calf better titan you ever
treated a calf before.
In feeding a cow we must go about it
cautiously; not stuff her with all she
can eat the first week, hut train her ap
petite and digestirm by gradually in
creasing the amount fed.
It is a difficult matter to doctor sick
animals. I t is comparatively easy to
keep them well by giving good food,
pure water and clean quarters. These
matters should have attention.
Pound for pound chicken can lie
grown i heaper than pork, and who will
sav the boiled chicken is not more grate
ful and healthy than the salt pork and
romeil beef everlastingly found on far
mers’ tables?
There are some very prepotent good
cows among the scrubs; they transmit
their gixsi qualities to their ralves in
spite of the scrub hull by which they er*
serv«jd. These cows should be festeil by
high feeding.
Farmers desiring to improve the dairy
qualities «*f their cows without decreas
ing size so much as the use of Jersey
bidls would should try the Guernseys.
The bulls of this breed often exceed
2,000 pounds In weight.
Grain may be thrown into a litter of
chan straw or hay_ for the fowls to
scratch for it, but no frxxl, hard or soft,
should lie put where the ground or litter
is dirty. It is not wholesome for the
hens, and may prove detrimental to hu
man being* who may partake of their
flesh.
Kansas has always prided herself on
being a great wheat State, hut it is said
that her poultry product sells for more
than all h"r wheat. If. however, thing*
go on much longer ax at present writing,
all sclf-rc-pecting hens—to say nothing
of other bipeds— will leave the State.
