But I'll take mine out in ’cycling when there is no snow or rain 5 ‘Cause a feiler then goes glidin’ just like the air was greased, AnC it fills you with a ticklin’ just like before you’ ve sneezed. Then it draws out all the sweetness and the viger in the air, And it stuffs it in your system and just simply leaves it there ; Ani if you’re sick and triflin’ from pieas- ure, work or sin, That sorter takes and lifts you from the hole that you’ve got In. And it makes you strong andi healthy, and it fits you for your work, And it makes you want to hustle in the place of grunt and shirk— It mates you fit your clothing, *cause it makes you wantto eat— Makes fat meat good as honey, makes sleepin’ just as swept. and So I don’t take no more sea-shore, with its *skeeters and ite sand, And the very ancient maidens who are not much in demand ; And when for fun and physic others seek the mountain air, I just,ride my old bicycle, and I guess. I get my share. —Sam Bean. Graveyard Insurance. News reached here that gross ‘swindles in the way of graveyard insurance have been unearthed at the town of Baanfort. Two farm- ers and a medical examiner are involved. In some cases persons almost at the point of death were insured, and in one case this was done after the insured positively refused to be a party to the fraud. The conspirators offered the~ wid- ow $2,000 to ticipate in the suits against t companies- Ila some cases the insurance was ob- tained by means of tions, sound men representing tnemselyes as the assured, when ids have — ee i weather. Bi: A BRIDAL MZLODY. She stood like an angel just wandered from Heaven, . A pilgiim benighted away fren the skies, And little we deemed that to mortals were given Such visions of beauty as came from her eyes. She looked up and smiied on the many giad faces, -The.riends of her childhood, who stood by her side ; But she shone o’er them alllike a queen of the Graces, When blushing she whispered the vows of a bride. We sangan old song, as with garlauds we erowned ner And each left x kiss on her delicate row. And we prayed that a blessiug might ever surround her. And the future of life be unclouded as now. - NEWS OFF THE WIRE. Served by our ‘“Leased” Underground Cable—(Limited).

There is no plant ander gener- al caltivation that ex1n ‘be wodi ‘ded to a greater extent tm ome or all of these essential qualities by fertilization ahd cultivetion than the tébaeco piant; aad particular. ly is thistiue in regard to com. bastibility. Experiments have shown that the combustibility of tobacco is chiefly dependent upon the cowposition of the ash ; that i¥, upon the proportion and com- bination of the mineral coastita ents of the plant. In appiyimg rertilizers or m - nure of course itis always desir able to produce an iucrease in the yield aod in geuweral that is the plimary otject of fertilization. and it is only in the increase of yield that we commonly book the orofit from the application of wanuare. With tobaceo we find carselves confronted with a very ‘different condition of affairs, it often being easy to prodace au increase in tie tiefd, but the pro duct will be of au inferior quality and, in consequence, its total yalue much less than it would have been withour the fertiliza- tion- Again, fertilizers will often show irtic 1f awy Increase in yield, but cause a eréat improvement in quality, and thas giva retarns by bringiag mure per pound than it would have otherwise.

The experiments show {the petash saits to. be -tbhe most ‘potent factors in changing the composition and quantity of the tobacco produced. It was shown very plainly that muriate of pot- asb, kaivit and low grade sul phate 6f pdtash were ubfii far use as & tobacco fertihzer and should never be applied to lands that were ever to be cultivated in to bacco; because the chiorine which these potash salts ~centain is taken up yecy freely by the tobaecce piant and chlorine always produces a tobacco with bad burning qualities. Ou the other hand, high grade sulphate of pot ash always improved the burning qualities. Carbobite of potash (ashes) prodaces tobacco witb ithe best combnstibility. The ap plication of potash was in most in yield, but in mauy cases the increase was smail. Phosphorié acid proved to have but litthe direct bearing upon the combustibility, but 1t generally. produces a very decided increas- in the yield. Lime and magnesia compounds in small quantities seemed to producé little effect pro orcon, but in large quanti- ties it produced a tobacco that cared badiy and had an inferior texture ; the dtration of glow was considerably larger with lime and magnesia tubacco, but iu many cases the ash wes of a bad color On the whele, while lime and mag- sesia will often very materialiy increase the yield, yet their quality is such ¢hat their applica: tion Canudt be recommendded, The salient priaciples io the use of fertilizers for the tobacco crop may be summarized as fol- lows: ist. Apply fertilizers with ref. erence tu the improvement of the quality rather than the quantity aod uever sacrifice gquality of obacco for quantity- Qud.

Bigh grade sulphate of potash always improves the qual- ity of tobaceo and generally in- creases the yield. llth. The tobacco having the best combustibility was grown with carbonate of potash but the cost of carbonate often excludes its use. 12th. Never apply lime to laud immediately before planting itin tobacco. In fact its bad effects in curing will sometimes last for seyeral years. 13th. Phosphotic acid géner- ally increases the yield, but does not affect the quality. 14th. Nitrogen produces in mest elses an increased yield, but to marked effects on quality could be détectéd. 15th.
