And has just returned the Northern Cities with a complete and new stock of Impoverished Lands of the United and I venture the statement that neither the agricultural class nor tho world at large estimates at its value the discovery of tho preparation and use of artificial manures. What we are accustomed to call the natural fertility of the soil is soon exhausted. For a long period after the settlement of the American colonies the inhabitants relied chiefly upon the fertility of the soil. The begin- of flocks and herds were by import- and the means of the settlers were limited, and the opportunities for obtain- a supply of animals from England were infrequent. As each new state to the west was open for settle- tho pioneers relied upon the natural fertility of the soil, and very generally they were deluded with the notion that its fertility was Except in a few favored spots, as in the valleys of tho and Miami rivers, the delusion has expelled by experience. Those valleys are kept fer- tile by an annual deposit of finely com- minuted vegetable and mineral matter brought down by the river freshets of the spring. Thus section is robbed of its fertility for the benefit of another. The autumn crops that are gathered in tho river valleys have exhausted the natural resources of the earth as much as they would have been exhausted if the crops had been gathered on the hillsides of the country above. Although the forces of nature are at work constantly in the earth, the process is so slow that its present pop- would diminish rather than in- crease. Beginning with New York and going west has been a common ex- Tho lands that been chopped for successive years without the tho application of manures yielded annually lees and less returns per acre. The experience of the south previous to the war was the same. With the of the river bottoms the cotton lands were soon exhausted. It was the tom of the planters to secure a quantity of land so large that not more than one- third or one-quarter be- under at same time. The larger part was given over to a process of natural renovation. Yet even under this process the plan- of the older cotton states were and there was consequently, an annual movement westward to the valley of the Mississippi and tho plains of Texas. It is manifest that under this system of cultivation there must have been a serious diminution of the cotton product in less than half a century from the opening of the war. In tho north and west, the fact of a diminishing product of wheat and corn was realized, the far- began to apply animal manures. But the ability to command even a moderate supply of animal manures plies conditions which do not everywhere exist. First, tho country must produce must yield pasturage on which cattle can live during a part of the year. In the most practical sense flesh is Next, the seasons must be such that the will require shelter for a period of time, as otherwise there can be no accumulations of manure for the us of special fields and special crops. In the south neither of these conditions existed. Consequently, under the old system, the people of that section could have adopted no other plan of culture than that under which they were acting. In the north and west the country is a grazing country generally, tho winters are harsh and long, and consequently tho accumulations of animal considerable, but manifestly the supply would be inadequate for the support of a great population. Beyond this the dis- of animal manure over large fields, and its transportation from the towns and cities to distant country dis- is a heavy addition to the cost of a S. in Boston Globe. Explosive Mora Destructive Tea. W. T. Chamberlain, an American en- residing in London, paid a visit to in connection with a new explosive which he is introducing to the war department. He is the inventor of the newest and most powerful explosive known, namely, chlorine of nitrogen, whose destructive effects are terrible in the extreme, a very small quantity doing infinitely more damage than a much larger amount of any other explosive in use. It is very sensitive, a very slight concussion causing it to explode. He has more than once been injured and in danger of being blown to pieces, but kept at it, determined to conquer or die In the attempt. He has completed a method of or filling shells and projectiles with chlorine nitrogen so that they may be fired from a gun using powder with per- safety. Military men to judge in regard the invention Ann it to be one of the most remarkable in- of the age, and are of the opinion that if any country had the mo- of this it could defy the world. The invention, it is thought, will cause a complete change or revolution in warfare, while for blast- or mining purposes it will probably never be equaled.

The Frenchman baa made his lancet more potent than shot guns, tons of poison or a million snares. He inoculates rabbits with the virus of a disease fatal to the little beasts. Before death overtakes them these bits beget a host of other rabbits, and these become the parents of millions. Heredity does tho rest. The descend- ants inherit their disease, and the second and third generation of rabbits die off even more surely than the inoculated first. If this method operates successfully with rabbits, why might not a somewhat similar process decimate the armies of bugs and worms that make the life of the American farmer one long warfare against things flying and creep- Pasteur, if he has solved the bit problem, will be the St. Patrick of tho great island.

I know them, but they are dangerous, and as in the of any is known to women who adopt such things, they had better remain secret. Tho only harmless tilings for the purpose are tho juice of the herb or dropped in the eye, or a spoonful of roast coffee chewed for the juice alone. This brightens the eyes for an evening, and is useful to keep watchers wide awake nights. But it must not be used often or it affects tho heart. Pure blood and thorough circulation, with unobstructed functions, will secure glowing eyes of a dark shade of their natural color, gooseberry eyes to luminous dark gray. Walking a mile briskly against the wind is good exercise to darken and brighten the eyes, whose beauty all de- pend on a right circulation of the blood, which in turn depends on more things than can be mentioned Dare's Letter.

As soon as the epidemic is over first step would be to have a thorough and systematic house to house and all places carefully noted where cases occurred.
