4 Grateful Soldier.

During the war a soldier lay sick i'll
fever hospital, with parched lips and not
breath, growing almost weary of life. In
his rawlings he talked of home, and mother,
and flowers. A comrade listened, and,
being himself convalescing, he helped him,
cooled his lips with ice, and soothed ms
brow. When the soldier got well, Tor tllls
kindness and comforting drove away the
fever, he expressed his gratitude to his
cOmrade. and said: "Billy, you VIII
never lose any thing by what you have
done tor me.'' And so they parted, each
to the front and in the fray. Years passed
away, the war was over, and the sixties
grew into the seventies. On the l2th OF
last month the one who had nursed his
fellow, but had since heard nothing from
him, received the following:

Charcoal as a Manure.

There is no fertilizer so easily procured
by the American farmer as charcoal. In
wooded countries, large quantities OF logs
and stumDs are ObStructing the lmple-
ments of Agriculture, and a ready way OF
disposing of them is by converting them
into charcoal. In prairie countries where
wood is scarce, peat, turf, or clay may be
charred and turned into manure still
more valuable than charcoal. A pile oil
logs, fourteen feet long, three feet high
and three feet wide, when perfectly burnt,
Yields only three bushels of ashes, and
these not equal to charcoal, bulk for bulk.
A pile of similar size yields from twenty
eight to thirty bushels of charcoal.
The stimulating power of carbon upon
seeds is noticed by Liebig in his chemical
explanation of the effects of charcoal as
a fertilizer He states that the carbon
of the charcoal forms the base OF car
bonic acid, which acts beneticially on
plants, by a gradual combination with
oxygen, but he admits that the bene-
ficial effects of charcoal, as fertilizer,
depend upon the presence OF other sub
stances besides carbon. He says that
plants thrive in powdered charcoal and
NAV he made to blossom and bear fruit, if
exposed to the influence of rain and the at
mOsphere. Rain water must therefore
contain one of the essentials to vegetable
life, and this is ammonia.
An instance of the quick vegetation OF
seeds produced by the use of powdered
charcoal is related by MIR. Raynbird in the
Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society
of England, Vol. Z, page 541. He says
that during the very dry summer OF !S44;
wood charcoal, powdered fine, was drilled
with carrot seed with which it was well
mixed, to prevent the seed clogging in the
drill; it served two purposes-the seed
was deposited with great regularity in the
drills, and the carrots made their appear
ance above ground in few days, notwith,,
standing the dryness OF the weather, ana
grew rapidly. The crop was a good one
for the year, being upwards OF 5OO bushels
per acre.
In 1915. forty bushels of powdered char
coal per acre were drilled in with green
topped Aberdeen turnips in light sandy
loan, the previous crop being rye and
vetehes mown for soiling. The young
plants appeared above ground in short
SPACE of time, and were singled out IN
week, as soon as turnips of a quicker
growing kind that had been drilled twelve
davs earlier with one and one-half cwt. OF
guano, mixed with peat ashes per acre.
The good effects of charcoal as fertlllZer
last for hundreds of years. This has been
nroyed at Thurstable Hundred in Essex.
| England. where there is large mound
| thar accumulated around q Roman pot
terv. The earth of this mound contains a
LARGE amount of charcoal and produces

Agriculture and Insects.

An exhibition of useful and nOxious in
sects. with the results of their works, was
Given at the Palais d'lndustrle at Paris

and the manner in which it was carried

Soma of onr centers of agricultural inter-
ests. The following is the arrangement !.
The first division contains useiul insects
arranged in six groups, each species Delng
shown in its stages of egg, larvae, crysalls'
and perfect insect. In this are found tne
silk-producing insects and those tnat pro-
duce honey and wax; among these are
the honey-bearing ants of Mexico linen
follow the cochineal, gall, and a host OF
others. The fourth group Is composed
of the edible insects the water bug (No-
to,nsct1 and CoTisa), whose eggs are con-
verted into bread, and sold under the name
of sIhaulte.u in Mexico. To these may DC
added the grugu worm or edible caterpll'
lar of the cabbage palm, with many spe
cies of Iocusts, crickets, grass-hoppersr
ants. and spiders, the last of which, IN tht
person of the EDeira eduLis, is valued ar
| ticle of food in Polynesia. The nth grouI
is composed of canthardes and other In
sects employed by physicians, and tn
sixth those like the phosphorescent insect
and beetles that are used for purposes

The second division, or that OF noxlou
insects, includes all those that lnJure IN

The Jewish Dietary System.

The dietary code relates almost entirely
TO animal food. None of the products OF
the vegetable kingdom are, under ordinary
circumstances, forbidden, nor is the man
ner of their use limited. There IS, IN lact,
no reference to them, no dietary law what
ever of practical importance, except, rs L
shall presently show, in connection Wlth
the Passover festival.
As to animal food, the first ordinance
requires that the quadruped, fowl or llsn
shall be, in the Biblical sense, clean:
The law on that point is laid down IN
Leviticus XII, and is partially reiterated IN
Deuteronomy xiv; and in all the many
centuries that have since expired 1t has un-
deroOne no alteration. There we see that
nuadrupeds, to be fit fOr food, must chew
the cud and be cloven-fOoted; F; and some
that are clean, and a number that are for
hidden, are particularly mentioned. TO
enlarge little on this list, we may say thaJ
among animals not eaten are, OF course,
the horse, the ass, the squirrel and the RAD
bit. Those famed delicacies, bears paws
and beavers tails are in the catalogue OF
the prohibited. In China, an orthodox
IsraeIite cannot partake of the cat, nor IN
Brazil of the tapir; but on the other hand,
if he can have it properly slaughtered,
there is no sufficient reason why, on the
Western prairios, he should not feast on
the savory hump of the buffalo.
of fowls that are unclean we find in the
chapters referred to an enumeration oil
twenty four. All others are regarded as
clean: the only difficulty consists in ldenu-
| fving those that are by name forbidden.
| The translatiOns of this list differ widely,
and among Talmudic commentators there
| is the same uncertainty as with later sehOl-
ars. They have suggested certain pecuI,
| Iiarities in the formation of the feet ana
stomach as marking the unclean bird Dut
the possibility of mistake, nOtwithstanG-
/ ing. has impressed the rabbis so gravely
| that they have advised the scrupulOus Is
raelite after all to eat of no fowl unless ne
is convinced, for reasons beyond these
suggested peculiarities, that 1t does h9t TO-
belong to the prohibited two dozen. IL
NAV be stated as general rule that all
birds of prey are forbidden, and that BIRDS
which feed on grains are clean. Ihls Is,
of course, a more agreeable classification
to the Israelitish epicure than that OF quad
rupeds.
