Very little fuel, and that of cheap kind,
will be required for burning the bones as
they have enough combustible matter in
them 10 burn themselves, after they get
started. They should be burned white, in
which condition they can be beaten to pow
der with ease. We have put down the cost
in the above estimate at the highest figures,
since the boys in a neighborhood will always
collect bones for one cent pound, and often
for less. Old, rotten manure is better than
fresh for teaching, TO produce the liquid.
Any old cask, or a common ash-leach, answers
the purpose for this, and the manure should
he pressed in as firmly as il can he and allow
the liquid TO run through.
As turnout" land is quite likely 10 be
weak in potash, as well as in phosphoric
acid, ii is highly probable that, for the best
results, dressing Of ashes should be applied
TO the same crop with this fertilizer. If
there is a reasonable doubt ON this point,
part may be ashed and part left without
ashes or three strips may be made,--the first
with the compost alone; the next with ashes
alone, and the third with both. One thing
should always be remembered in applying
phosphate-which is, that II is not com
plete manure, like animal dung. II soil is
deficient in potash, you may apply phos.
pilates foot deep without getting crop
II phosphoric acid is wanting, you may APP
ply any quantity of potash with the same
result But animal manure contains both,
and will, consequently, give a good result
alone. Ignorance or neglect of this fact is
the reason why we SO often hear of failure
in the use of artificial fertilizers, even when
of the best quality. Plants will not flourish
unless all their wants are fully supplied.

The Ninth Commandment,

"What is the ninth commandment said
a teacher TO boy in Sunday-school
"'Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor'
"What is bearing false witness against
your neighbor "
at is telling a falsehood.'
"That is partly true; and yet is not ex-
actly the right answer-becalise you may
tell falsehood about yourself"
Then turning to a very little girl, she said /:
Scan you tell me what bearing false wit
ness against thy neighbor is 2"
at is when nobody did anything, and
somebody went and told of it,"
That will do" said the teacher, with a
smile.
The little girl had given curious answer I;
but underneath her odd language there was
pretty clear perception Of the true mean.

FARMERS GARpENs.-Too many farmers
think it does not pay to have garden
Perhaps such garden as some Of them would
be likely to have would not pay, but there is
no such question about garden properly
made and tended, and no family that has
ever had the benefit Of a good garden viii
ever willingly consent TO live without one.
Make one next spring, II you never have be-
fore, and plant in it good supply of beets,
cabbages, peas, squashes, cucumbers, toma-
toes, bush and pole beans, sweet corn and
sweet herbs. Put ON plenty of old, rotted
manure, pillow deep and cultivate carefully.
Don't let the weeds over grow it, nor the
bugs and worms destroy Che plants when
young. Success and plentiful crops are GER

A Washington correspondent says tha'

Young man, however, whose only ambition is

better for some crops than for others. Plow

for corn, since in our short summers corn
will mature quicker II the roots are not obi

must have plenty Of plant food mixed with
the surface soil, since you desire to confne

Story of Inhuman Desertion by the Cap
tain of the Orpheus,

SAN Francisco, Nov, 24.-The Victo-
toria Standard, receiv by steamer, say IS
eforsS will be made to procure the atten-
dance of the captain and crew of the Orphe-
us at the inquest on the bodies of the VIC
tins of the Pacific disaster, and that a
searching inquiry will be made into the
cause of the disaster.
Charles Thompson. one of the crew of
the ship Orpheus, has made a sworn state
ment before notary public, in which he
charges the captain of the Orpheus with
having been the cause of the disaster He
says that on tn e raising of the signal of
the Pacific he was ordered by the second
mate to head for it and few minutes after
the captain came on deck and ordered hm
to again put her on her course. About
three minutes afterwards he was ordered
by the captain to lie: her luff hich he did.
After this the captain signifed his inten,
ton to speak the steamer, tor which pur-
pose the light was kept dead ahead until
the two ~essels colllded. Then the steam
er followed the ship, the people on board
shouting ard calling on the captain of the
Orpheus to stop and rescue them. He die
not heed their cries, but kept 90 his course
and the steamer was soon l2st to view,

by other nations. Rifle guns OF size. en-
durance and power to enable us to meet
On fair aud equal terms foreign foe must
be provided while we have the time. and it
is certainly not the part of wisdom TO delay
making such provision until an enemy in
vades our shores We should as much as
possible be supplied by the sutefiAr quail

Our arsenals should therefore be we'll
stocked at all times with large reserve
supply of the best rifles and carbines, and
congress should in spirit of economy ap-
propriate literally for their manufacture.
The entire army has been supplied with
new rifles. Carbines and calibre arms in
store are somewhat limited. and there are
only about enough of the new model and
calibre in case OF war to arm one corps
The soldier who volunteers to fight in de
fense of his country has right to demand
the best OF weapons, so that he may be
able to successfully meet the enemy.
The want of military discipline and train
ing should be as much as possible suppii-
ed by the superior quality of the weapon

therefore be well stocked at all times with
a large supply of the best rifles and car
bines,
