EFFECT OF GROUND BONE UPON LANDS
To be of any value whatever, ground
bone must be placed where it will un-
dergo decomposition. IT will not rot
under the influence Of heat alone. Both
heat and moisture are required. Its
efficiency is greater or less in proportion
20 the greater or less rapidity with which
1t decomposes. Placed in dry soil, in
"a dry sea-oB, its effects will scarcely he
perceptible; whereas, in moist soil,
having sufficient warmth, its influence
upon any crop will be strongly marked.
For intermixture with sour soils, no 9th
or material Is superior. Tt neutralizes
the acids. and warns and decomposes all
the vegetable matter. The only vay
recommended for using the Brighton
phosphate upon dry. sandy fields, is the
application with it of muck and barn
yard manure, or in a compost of these
articles. These manures will hold water
in the soil and hasten the decay of the
bone. In the vicinity OF Hatfield the
most gratifying results were obtained
from sandy fields by this process.

AN INSURANCE QUESTION. Ruth,
who was recently tried for completely in
the murder of her husband, and was ac-
quilted, has shown her appreciation of
what is due to the assaulted female ma
tI'tct and depleted purse, by bringing
sulta Yainst the Mound City Mutual Lite
Insurance Company, of st. Louis. TO re-
cover $1,000 on policy on the life of
her husband, who died April q, 1871.
The recovery of the money is stoutly re-
sisted by the company, and it now le-
mains to be seen whether violent death
is to be reckoned in the same cstegcry
with suicide, SO far asinsurance compf u
les are concerned.

Why Is ia short time ago, while
conversing with a prominent general of
the United States cavalry, he asked how
it was that women could wear for life
time all their clothing suspended from
the waist, while the soldiers could not
endure the weight OF sabre, even for
few days, wien it WIS attached simply
TO belt, although the sabre is less in
weight than TIE bulk of women's skirts.
And he gave it as his experience that q
sabre carried in that way at first seemed
only q trifiing matter, but in few days
it caused an uncomfortable fatigue, seem
ed to take the very life out of them and
produced permanent disea7e at most
rapid rate. He also stated that it was
because serious injuries followed so rap
idly that straps were ordered to be at.
tachcd to the belt so that the weight
could be borne by the shoulders.

A CANNIBAL STORY. A Canadian lum-
herman tells rather a dubious story of
cannibalism among The Indians Of the Up
per Ottawn, which is gwen for what it is
worth. He says that, owing to the enor-
nous quantities Of snow aud the terribly
severe weather, the Indians who inhabit
the more remote localities arc literally
forced at certain seasons TO satisfy the
cravings OF appetite by devouring one
another As an instance, he relates the
proceedings Of an Indian family in OK
IRENE circumstances. The squaw so the
story goes, slew one of her children dur
ing the protucted absence of her hus-
band. and the family had partially de.
voured the child when the old In
dian returned to his home. He then
joined with the rest in the horrible re
past. When the food was gone an
other child was sacrificed and eaten in
like manner. The imprncticoble weather
continuing, the Indian tomahawked the
squaw next, and he and his only remain
in son, after this nddltioal supply gave
out, started to mako another attempt to
reach settlement This failing, the
son killed tho father, and proceeded to
satisfy his appetite with his flesh Arrl-
wing at last at settlers shanty he told
his awful tale. which 1t il said could
hardly be credited Ly the listeners, and
which it may be also said viii find little
credit elsewhere, until substantiated by
indubitable proof.
