“CONSCIENCE FUND.”
Mysterious Contributions Sent
to Washington.
From Two Cents to Thousands
of Dollars Received.
The Unitod States Troasury receives
many mysterious contributions sent in
by unknown persons whose conscience
accuses them of having swindled the
government in one way or another.
Most of tho frnuds tlius rectified arc
committed against tiie customs ntid
internal revontio laws. The majority
of pcoplo seem to regard tho govern¬
ment as they do a corporation, which
having neither a soul to ho saved or a
body to be kicked, may bo choatod to
any extent justifiably; but now and
then an individual turns up who gets
worried nbout it afterwards, Such
penitents send tho amounts they think
they owe to 'Washington usually, where
the sums pass through the hands of
the bureau of public money into tho
Treasury. Contributions of this sort
as low as a two-ocnt stamp aro received,
while sometimes they aro as high as
several thousand dollars. A while ngo
eight halves of as many $1000 notes
came in, Accompanied by a notifica¬
tion tlmt Die remaining halves would
follow if acknowledgment was niado
of Die receipt of Die first consign¬
ment.
Some of tho communications ore
rather amusing. Ono correspondent
writes from Erie, I’a: “Inclosed find
♦40 which I return to the government,
having beaten her out of that amount
in minor ways from lime to time.”
Another 6cnds $200 saying: “This
is on account of amount 1 defrauded
the government of mid wiiich I havo
paid back, thank God!”
An old soldier, who Is regarded as
a regular customer, scuds $5 from timo
to timo on account of $100, which, ho
writes, “I obtained by unfairness
seventeen or eighteen yoars ago, as
well as I can remember, and which 1
hope to liqnidato. 1 givo my God the
benefit of Die doubt, relying on his
bouudloss mercy.”
Another penitent incloses $10 and
says: “Tliis money is to bo jilacod
in the United States Treasury to tho
credit of an unknown debtor, l’ay
this money whore it belongs and keep
your record clear.”
A person whose conscience is in
proportion to his means sends $4995,
accompanied simply by a scrap of pa¬
per with “conscience” scrawled upon
it.
Two poslngo stamps arc inclosed iu
a wrapper on which is written:
“Money that belongs to (ho govern¬
ment.”
Similarly a woman sends from
Fiance $20, with tiie words “Cost
pour le trosorio.” A case of aniug-
gling repented, doubtless.
An unintentional aiul vory con¬
scientious smuggler $t.2G in a papot
with tho words, “Duty on fivo pairs
of gloves, visible but not taxed.”
Tho very Biimll contributions sent
in this way are probably in most in¬
stances acknowledgments for linving
used government paper for private
purposes, for having utilized
stamps to carry a letter or some
peccadilloes.
The Treasury is often bothered for
money by people in whoso family
traditions exist to tho effect tiiat n
great-grandfather or a granduncle de¬
posited with tho institution ever so
long ago sums which havo since
mounted to fabulous proportions. It
is desired by tiie heirs, very naturally,
that their inheritance shall bo dis¬
tributed, and they sometimes go so far
as to threaton legal proceedings. These
money myths aro preserved by gener¬
ation after generation, and those con¬
cerned never seem to lose faith in them
altogether. Think of the imaginary
treasures that havo beon heaped up
the Bank of England for
merely waiting their long-sought own¬
ers to come and clniin Dio golden bean

Silk to be Made Without Worms.

try. Mousa recently dissected the

emtained Dio libers of leaves and

him to believe that silk could be pro¬
duced independent of the silk worm,
and after many failures evolved a pro-
coss for manufacturing silk from tin
leaves and twigs of tho mulberry
tree, and lias sent his nephew to this
country to start a factory, which wit*

GKOW MORE PARSNirS.
Tho parsnip is a root generally
liked, and should be always grown.
If more are planted than needod for
table use the surplus makes excellent
feed raw for cows or horses, or cooked,
even for hogs and poultry. It is a
root moro easily grown than carrots,
as its wider leaf when it first conics
up makes it easily distinguishable in
hoeing between tho rows. Hut, even
in advocacy of the j arsnip, wc dislike
to say aught against the carrot. Botli
roots should be grown, and tho carrot
may be sown thickly, so that if some
arc cut out in weeding enough may bn
loft to make a stand.— [Boston Culti¬
vator.
WHY CLOVKK IS SO VALGABLK.
Clover, cowpcas and other legumes
have a peculiar power of gathering
plant food and especially nitrogen
from natural sources. Although thoy
contain much more nitrogen than
wheat, oats and similar grains, they
thrive and bring large yields where
wheat will not. While their faculty
for gathering nitrogen from the stores
in Die soil, and especially from the
air, is not yet explained, the impor¬
tant fact is that they do gather it and
Jeavo a great deal of it in tho roots
and stubble. Nitrogen is the costliest
ingredient of fertilizers. These facts
help to explain the economy of clover
for manure, and why clover is so val.
viable as a preparatory crop for wheat
and other grains.
The above cited facts, with otliors,
ascertained at the Connecticut Stores
Agricultural Experiment Station,
seem to demonstrate tiiat Die legunes
such as clover, cowpcas and lupines
arc especially valuabio for tliis kind
of manuring, that timothy stands next
and that tho grain crops leave the least
amounts of plnnt food in roots and
stubble.— [New York World.
GROWING WILLOWS.
The willow will grow on most any
soil, but made lands such as aro made
by deposits of soil along the banks of
streams or rivers by changes iu the
flow are tho best. Besides this such
spots linvo tiie advantage for this pur*
pose that they arc rarely profitable for
any other crop, being liable to over¬
flow. Tiie willows used in this COUI1-
try for basket work aro mostly im¬
ported. According to a report of Mr.
B. F. Lernow, Chief of (ho Forestry
Division, ozior growing for profit is
not so simple or inexpensive an enter¬
prise as might at first appear. The
climate of the United States in most
parts is not very favorablo to Dio
growtli of Dio finer grades of ozior
rods of European kinds. Out of some
250 species of willow only a limited
number have been found of cco-
noniic valuo for ozier purposes.
A good ozier willow should pro¬
duce many slender rods without
branching; tho rods should be soft
and pliable, and preferably white
when pooled. The stocks should be
of a kind that will reproduce vigor¬
ously for a long time. Tho red ozier
is the ono mostly grown in this coun¬
try, but does not thrive as wol! as in
Europe. The opinion is expressed
that it is only a ready market and
favorablo labor conditions which
make ozior growing profitable in a few
localities, such as Syracuse, St. Louis-
Cincinnati, Chicago, around New
Y’ork, etc. The following points are
given by tho authority quoted for CS-
tabhshing a good ozier hold: A fresh
soil, by no means a wet one, prepared
to at least sixteen inches deep by ditch¬
ing and bringing the top soil to tho
bottom. Plant twelve-inch cuttings
In early spring, making the rows
twenty-four inches apart. Die cuttings
four inches in Die row, which require,
in round figures, 65,000 cuttings per
acre, costing about $5 per thousand,
PROTECTION OF FLOWER BEDS FROM
POULTRY.
This has been a difficult problem for
many housewives to solve since poul¬
try have unlimited range on most
farms. To find a pretty flower bed
ruined by ono or more inveterate
scratohers is most trying. But tho
chickens must not be penned up, for
that would involve expense and labor.
We do not want to fence off the flow¬
ers, for tiiat would spoil half their
beauty. The following has proved
effective: Tiie flowers in the lawn
where they could bo readily seen were
inclosed in a flue wire netting eighteen
inches high. Tliis was a real protec¬
tion, but the netting was at least un-
sightly. Realizing tiiat it was Dio
soil and not the plants that needed
guarding, some wide netting with
small meshes war, procurred aud fas-
tened upon iJic surface of tho flower
bed after it was prepared and the Seed
sown. For potted plants the wirca
wore cut to allow the stems to be
slipped through and then replaced.
This device eventually prevented dej)-
redatlon by tho fowls, while its only
disadvantage was that it made cultiva¬
tion a little more tedious.—[American
Agriculturist.
FLOWERS ON TIIF. FA KM.
The key to success with flowers on
a farm is having tho right position. I
protest as a rule against any arrange¬
ment that will cost much expense of
time and labor in caring for tho (low-
crs. The common plan of flower
borders is worst of all. Thcso bor¬
ders running along paths nro from
two to four feot wide and offer grass
roots constant temptation. They are
never quite clean; and to keep them
approximately so require, labor all
summer. Men will not touch them,
and tho women must dig and pull
and, poor creatures, never get paid
for their trouble only that they lovo
flowers so well. A better plan is
large beds cut in a special lawn or
yard. Such beds should adapt them¬
selves to bends in the walks or diives
and be of good size, five or six feet in
diameter at the least.
Circles may lie sot if no better shape
is suggested by the drives or treos.
Drive down a stake at the centre and
tic a string to it. Carry the outer end
of the string around and set stakes and
then you have a circle, lleinovc all
Die sod and throw it into the barnyard
to be worked up with manure. Fork
the soil deeply. Throw on a load of
rich rotted compost, fork it in
thoroughly anil your bed is ready.
When your plants aro set in leave a
rim about the outer edge of tho bed
for tiie hoc to work. In this way yon
can keep grass roots from running
over your beds.
A third plan is to combino your
vegetable and flower garden. In this
case Die fork must do a good deal of
work instead of the plough, and that
farmers will not agree to except in
ease of quite small gardens. But I
ass tiro 3 - ou a garden of this sort may
bo made very beautiful. Old-fashioned
gardens had hollyhocks along the
fence, and nasturtiums to edge onion
beds. In the centre were beds of pinks
and beets. This is the English style.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Kill tho scrub bull.
Shoep like u few corn-stalks.
A dirty barnyard is a nuisance.
Use broad tires on farm wagons.
Coughing is a bad sign in a cow.
Sot goslings in tho pasture when they
are a week old.
Sour milk is a treat both to hens and
to little chickens.
Do not allow a few chickens to mo¬
nopolize the roosts.
Dry dirt and 6iftcd coal ashes make
a good dust bath for poultry.
Laying liens should bo kept separate
from those that are being fattened for
tho market.
Whenever tho brood of turkeys is
strong enough, givo them tiie run of
tho meadows.
A good shade and plenty of salt and
water are indispensable to the comfort
of stock in the pastures.
Sawdust, when it can bo secured
conveniently, makes one of tho very
best materials for summer bedding.
It is a very important Bern with tho
work teams to arrange for good ven¬
tilation in the stables during tiie sum¬
mer.
Harvest work is always pushing.
Arrange to have everything in readi¬
ness so tlmt Dio work can be pushed
along.
A patch of sweet corn makes ono of
the best crops to grow to commenco
feeding hogs intended for early fall
market.
Whenever it is an item to secure a
large flow of milk, bran and oil meal
c;ln always be fed to an advantage to
the cow.
Fish Fecundity.
It is said that between 60,000,000,-
000 and 100,000,000,000 codfishes are
taken from tho sea around Dio
shores of Newfoundland every year.
But even tiiat. quantity seems small
when wo consider that a singio cod
yields something like 3,600,000 eggs
each year, and that over 8,000,000
eggs liavo been found in the roe of a
single cod. A herring of six or seven
ounces In weight is provided with 30,-
000,000 ova. After making all rea-
son able allowances for Die destruc¬
tion of eggs and of the young it has
been calculated that in three years a
single pair of herrings would produce
164,000,000.—[Chicago Herald.
A Device to Curve a Base Ball.
A Cleveland man lias patented a
device for giving a base ball the curve
when it leavos the pitcher’s hand. The
device consists of an elastic strap with
a loop in ono end to receive tho thumb,
and at the other end is a segment of a
sphere corresponding to the shape of
the ball. It is claimed that as the halt
leaves tliis arrangement it can be given
any curve desired, and without tho
employment of the contortions which
the average pitcher lias to make to
reach the tamo result.—[Philadelphia

Considered Wonderful.
Mr. Henry V. Smith, of Belmont
West Va., says: ‘‘he considers his
cure of Scrofula by S. S. S., one of
the most wonderful on record. He
had the disease of the worst type
all his life until he was 22 years of
age. and his whole youth was em¬
bittered by It. Of course he had
all sorts of treatment, but nothing
benefited him permanently until
he took S. S. S. which cleansed the
poison from his system, and cured
him sound and well.”
