beams of a partially darkened room. Spores
exist In your body, my reader, and 10 mine.
During their passage from tree to tree and from
plant to plant many of them find a oongenial
soil where they adhere, take root, as it were,
and begin to exhibit signs of life. But when
plants and fruit are provided with a CLASSY and
impervious covering spores cannot adhere to
the moist and g~lutinous material beneath the
skin. The foregoing facts teach us why chip
dirt, saWdust, wood ashes, soap suds, and the
German KANT fertilizer are 90 valuable In
promoting the fertility of the soil where any
crop of cereals, vegetables or fruit Is to be
raised. Growing plants, grass, flowers, trees,
shrubs and vines must have potash. There is
no danger of applying potash too abundantly.
Some kinds of wood ashes will Weld per
bushel several pounds of potash when the ashes
are l%eached; and the leached residum will
still retain much potash that the roots of
growing plants and trees will take up and
appropriate. But the question arises. Where
can tillers of the soil procure a needed supply
OF potash to fertilize their impoverished soil
AS the supply of wood ashes is infinitely less
than the demand, 1t Is fortunate for pomolo-
gists, horticulturists and farmers that there are
inexhaustibIe deposits of fertilizing material
which promises to prove an excellent substitute
for potash. In America valuable deposits
have been discovered, and the government has
brought immense quantities of the German
Leopold KANT to the doors of American tillers
of the soil, which promise to play an impor-
tant part in promoting the fertility of impover-
lshed land. AS our own soil needs potash more
than any other element, We recently procured
of the government agent in New York city
John Reed, a ton of the Kainit, which has been
spread around grape vines, around fruit trees
of all sorts, and sowed broad cast on any land.
We recently stocked down a plot of ground
to red clover and orchard grass but prior to
sowing the grass seed, without grain on the
land, Kainit at the rate of about five or six
hundred pounds per acre was scattered evenly
over the newly narrowed ground. After a
heavy shower of rain had dissolved the KANT,
and the ground had dried sufficiently, the
grass seed was sowed and pushed in.

possible Minister could say no less-the colonies
could desire no more. Lord Salisbury went
on to say 3" The only desire entertained both
by Lord Carnarvon and himself was that the
coolie immigration, which was founded on sound
principles. should be so managed as to prove
advantageous alike to the .labourers and to
the colonies in which they were employed"
This surely might settle the question for a
time at least, and send q glow Of satisfaction
through the Anti Slavery and Protection So
cieties (for both those bodies contributed to
the deputation) at the complete success Of
their disinterested labours.
Some time ago it was announced in this
column that the West India and Panama
Telegraph Company had applied to the several
Governments in the West Indies-the line
being in complete working order-for . re-
newal Of the subsidies which had been originally
granted, but which had practically fallen into
allegiance. 1t is satisfactory to observe that
British Guiana and Trinidad have renewed
the subsidies, and it is to be hoped the other
colonies will do the same. The telegraph is
SO important to the colonies that they can
scarcely hesitate, with a regard to their own
interest, in giving this support. Without this
support the Company cannot hope to succeed.
1t is indispensable to the raising Of additional
capital IN this country. If the cables break, or the
company is not a financial success, the colonies
will look In vain for a renewal Of the advantages
OF telegraphic communication The e~2pairing
stations at present involve great expense. The
company ia past years may not always have
fulfilled its engagements, but it is now in a
condition to do so and it is to be hoped that
the earnest appeal for assistance which is now
being made to the colonies may meet with
the success it 80 eminontly deserves.

POTASH AS A FERTILIZER.
(From tile Hera1d)

Most soils require a generous dressing with
potash. Almost every plant and tree needs
the stimulating influences Of this fertilizer
There is no danger of applying potash or wood
ashes to the soil too bountifully. Every obServ-
ing farmer knows how potash promotes the
growth of all crop plants and fruit trees.
When a strip of forest is cleared away and
wheat or rye is sowed on the ground why is it
that the grain which grows where a large
brush heap or log heap was burned will be
heavier, plumper, more abundant and fairsr
in every respect than the grain only a few
feet distant, where the soil received no top
dressing of wood ashes2 It is because the
roots of the growing plants seized the soluble
potash and conveyed it to the ears of grain for
the purpose of promoting the more perfect
development of the kernels. Why is 1t that
the straw produced where a log heap was
burned down will always be much sitter and
harsher to ones hands and stand erect during
driving storms while the straw grown round
about the places alluded to will often be soft
and deficient in sufficient stiffness to maintain
an erect position Because the growing
plants require potash united with the silica
of the soil, thus forming the silioate Of potash
which is spread beautifully over the straw and
the leaves to promote their stiffness. Every
intelligent tiller of the soil understands that
cereal grain does not fructify satisfactorily
unless the straw maintains an erect position.
Hence the great value of potash and sand or
silica to give desirable stiffness to the straw.
Why is 1t, when growing wheat or rye is being
struck with rust, that a little plot here and
there where stumps, logs or brush have been
burned to ashes, will be bright and free from
the attack OF rust1 Because the growing
plants employ potash and silica not only to
give stiffness and rigidity to the straw, but to
form, as it were, a CLASSY coat of mail over the
surface of every leaf, glume and straw to forth
fy the tender and delicate parts against the
attacks of spores that are floating in the at
mosphere. We all know how readily sub
stances In the atmosphere are turned away
when they come in contact with a CLASSY sur
face. Potash and sand are the essential ele-
ments of glass. The roots of growing plaDts
have the power to employ the sharpest sand
and potash to form a thin, elastic, CLASSY
covering which is spread over the surface to
exclude moisture and to repel any attacks of
fungus. Consider the apple for a moment;
examine the skin Of one that is sound and
smooth. The thin elastic covering is as i'm
~peryious to moisture as sheet of India rubber.
This protection of the fruit is elastic glass.
The juices of ones stomach will not digest
the peeling Of fruit for the reason that glass is
indigestible. When apples and pears are as
rusty as o moss covered boulder we are assured
that the soil lacks potash. To prove this as
s~ertion, we have only to spread a few pounds
Of dissolved potash, or a few bushels of ashes
around about such trees, as far as the branches
extend. Ifthis be done in autumn, the next
crop Of fruit will be comparatively smooth

The use OF French wines In England has
risen from 100000 gallons, 'eth6T average
before the reduction of the wine duty In
1860, to above 5000, 600 gals. in 1874.
Yet as Paris alone, with it's 1851, 700
inhabitants, consumed nearly Sc million
gallons of wine in '72 while the entire
population of the United Kingdom dis
posed of only III million gals. last year,
English wine-drinking bears a very small

Some forty years ago, it is said, a lady
called upon Mr.. Longman, head Of the
publishing firm in Paternoster Row, and
pleaded :" Give me the subject Of a
book for which the world has a need, and
/ will write it for you" Mr.. Longman
asked, " Are you an author2" 81 am o
poet" was the reply ; but the world
does not want poems" The publisher
remarked, a little obviously: We'll, We
want a good cookery book" "Then,"
said the lady, "you advise me to write a
cookery book 2" Cautiously the publish
er reioiued: 81 should advise you to do
80, if 1 were confident of your ability to
write a good one." Well, years went
by and, during those years, cooks and
epicures and housewives in all parts OF
England were besieged for recipes to be
forwarded to the address of a certain lady.
The lady's own fatterirg letters or persua-
sive speech either elected from the cooks
themselves the information required, or
enlisted the cooks masters and mistresses
on her side and the result of her exer-
lions, carried on for many years with
equal resoluteness and good temper, was
the "Modern Cookery in all its Branches"
published in 1916, which continues to
hold its place in the esteem Of house
wives. Its author was Miss Acton, who

Correct Speaking.

WHAT is it to speak correctly? 1t is to
accustom yourselves to speak and write
accurately, having especial care to use no
language or utter no statement that is not
elegant and strictly truthful. Avoid the
use of slang words and phrases. They are
odious, and no amount of personal grace
in the speaker can compensate for the dis
agreeable effect that the use of slang has
upon the hearer. When once this habit OF
using these pet" phrases has been formed
Youth is the best time to acquire correc
language. 1t does not require wealth; the
poorest can obtain this faculty. And how?
By using the language of books-in other
words, that which one reads; form the
taste from the best speakers and writers;
treasure up choice phrases and accustom
ones self to their use. But do not fall
nto the opposite error of selecting only
that which is pompous and high sound
ing, for that will make one ridiculous.
But choose that language which is terse,
expressive and clear; and the habit of cor
rect speaking soon becomes fixed and
makes it a pleasure to listen to you.-

An Affecting Incident.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Vicksburg
Herald, writing from Raleigh, N. G., says:
" 1t was love in death. He saw her sink
ing fast; he knew it, she knew tit was
consumption. He nursed her like little
child, the great, strong man, and they
were in the room together the night she
died. She wanted to see QUITO gaze
once more at the world outside-but he
entreated her against it and told her that
to take her up would make her worse, but
she told him she was dying anyway, and
he lifted her .tenderly in his arms and
walked with her from window to window,
holding her to his breast and showing her
this object and that and pointing 9out
every pleasant thing, and she kissing him
at intervals, till the last breath mad gone
and the kiss died cold on his cheek. Wo-
mans love! When God made man, he
put all of Heaven in woman's love ana
told him TO win it and be worthy OF IT.

Suppose a Case.

LET us suppose a case," said Uncle
Peleg to a little group. Suppose two
boys live in houses just alike, and
dress just alike, and go to the same
school; so, if you wanted to, you
couldn't tell which was the best off
Suppose they keep right along together
till they're twelve years old, and help
each other so they'll be sure to keep even
all the time.
"Well, suppose after while one boy
finds new friend that tells him he's tied
to his mothers apron-strings, and he
never'll be man till he can do as he's a
mind to without asking anybody. Girls
ought to be at home evenings and behave
themselves; but it's different with boys,
this new friend says. Suppose, now this
bad boy, who wants the other to be just as
bad as he is, pulls piece of tobacco Out
of his pocket and tells our boy he mus
learn to chew the stuff before he'll ever be
of any account; and then they try 1t together
till somebody's awfuT sick. But suppose
that somebody made up his mind to keep
on trying, and, after while his mouth
gets so case-hardened he don't know to
bacco from sugar plums.
"Now, suppose our boy grows saucy tc
his mother-just as he would of course
and bimeby he takes glass of liquor tc
keep the tobacco company-and well
matched company they be, too. Then hi
smokes and swears, and swaggers ant
staggers till you couldn't tell where hi
started from. II he earns any money, hi

Now, suppose this other boy that livet

he didn't swear, nor smoke, nor chew to

he earned money he spentit for something
he needed, or else saved it for rainy day
and when he was twenty.one he locke,
