be very costly. Once I lost about one hun
dred and fifty dollars in one effort to grow
crop of corn with commercial fertilizers,
when, if I had spent few dollars i'll good
agricultural books, might have saved the
money and learned the same thing though
when we pay high for learning in this way,
we remember it better, this is the consola-
ton have left. Space and time makes me
unwillingly leave these subjects unfinished.
We will now take an inside view of the
manufacturing of commercial fertilizers. 1
have frequently heard men of note, who
ought to have known better, make the re-
mark that the highest grade fertilizers do
not cost the factory more than ten or twelve
dollars per ton. 'Tis left for me or some
one else to say that such gentlemen do not
know the principles of the manufacturing,
or what constitutes high grade fertilizer.
We pay five to six dollars per ton to get our
wheat ground, after carrying it to the mill.
Now, it surely does cost at least twice as
much to grind phosphate rock as large and
hard as they are, to the finencss of meal or
-four. In the first place, the phosphate rocks
are brought or delivered to the factory for
so much, then they are dried by process,
then put through powerful crushing ma
chine, then into the mill stone for grinding.
When it comes out OF the mill it is called
bone meal, bone -four or bone dust, owing
to its degree of fneness, Gt will be remcm-
bcrcd that all these phosphate rocks were,
and are yet, the remains of the bones of an
imals.) 'Tis seen that bone meal will cost
much more than ten dollars per ton. After
We get the ground bone we have only the
base, or ground work of high grade fcrtil-
izcr. We add to the ground bone certain
quantity Of sulphuric acid to melt or dissolve
it. 'Tis then called dissolved bone or acid
phosphate To the dissolved bone we add
ammonia and sometimes potash. Granting
the quantity supplied in proper proportions,
we have high grade fertilizer. The sui
phur and nitrate used in making the sulphu-
ric acid, and the muriate of potash, from
which potash is gotten, are all imported
from foreign countries, and must cost some
thing to get them. The ammonia is gcner-
ally obtained from meat scraps of the pork
houses, Peruvian guano or fish scraps. All
these add something to the cost of manu-
featuring high grade fertilizer.

Among the many relics, etc, to le en-
hibited during the continuance Of the
International Exposition, onc of the
most interesting is an ancient coach, said
to have been made for the good Queen
BrSs,' when she assembled the English
throne in lj99, now on its way from
Boston. 1t was The stage coach during
the Whole ot her long reign. During
he reign Of James it was probably hut
little used, bul Charles, during the war
of the commonwealth, used it us his
travelling carriage while with the army,
and the diUpi,otcd covering inside,
even now, shows numerous pockets,
where he probably carried conVeniences
for his toilet, and perhaps, when hard
pressed by the rebels, some OF the ncccs,
sarrs Of life. At the disastrous battle
Of Malston Moor, in 1913, the carriage
was captured by the insurgents the royal
occupant barely escaping. Soon after
ward it was bought up by one Richard
Langstroth, who cmigrated to America
the next year, 1914, and brought it with
him to Boston. The stage coach proved
nm elephant to the owners, Tor the simple
habits and strict sumptuary laws Of the
! province did not CountcnanCc the use of
50 gorgeous vehicle by any private
citizen, rs is shown by an extract from
the records of the selectmen OF Boston,
May, %, 1870, where may be found this
entry: Permit was given to ye guide
man Langstroth vt he use his coCh ut ye
funeral Of his wife, This indulgence
was probably granted because he had II
crippled daughter unable to walk. The
family records show, however that it
was sometimes loaned to the Governor of
the Province on state occasions, and it
doubtless many times caused II furo:c
among the urchins of the future hub >
Langsroth died in 1900, and the vehicle
remained in the family, passing to the
eldest son, who removed to Dorchester,
and his son, u feeble old man, verging on
ninety, but fired with patriotism, rode
into Boston in it by the side of General
Washington, when Lord Howe evacuated
the city in March, 1866. From that time
its history is unuyentful. About 1900 it
was laid up in barn in Fort Hill, in
Boston, and rested unused till 1880,
when, the barn being pulled down, il
was presented to u distinguished archw.
ologist of Salem, who has preserved il
with great care, with Mehitable Higgin
sons harpsichord and many other ancient
relics, for many years.-E,r.

HOTEL REGIsTERs.-0n last Friday
the popular steamer Fanny Lake brought
10 this place the Hotel Registers previous
ly ordered through W. II. Humphrey, the
reliable pioneer dealer in books and sta
tionery at Seattle. These books are eX-
ecutcd in very neat and beautiful style,
every way worthy of the Snohomish Ex-
change and the Riverside Hotel, oul two
model hotels that ordered them. Every
alternate page of the register Of the Riv-
erside Hotel is devoted to advertisements
representative of the leading business
houses of Snohomish and Seattle. The
register OF the SnohOmish Exchange is
very fine in its style of execution; every
alternate Leaf is blotter, upon which is
also printed advertisements representa-
tiYe of the leading interests Of this place
and Seattle,
Visitors from abroad have long award
ed to these two hotels the UeV melitei
praise of being the neatest and best kept
hotels on the Sound Their enterprise in
getting these well prepared books special
" made for their houses is an additional
claim upon the regard Of the public.
The printing so neatly executed was
done by Mr. Northrup of the Mtclligsnc0
job Office. We are pleased TO add that
before long arrangements will he made

way; the third had just returned from
Portland, and, Of course, was too tired
to accompany his friends. The drive is

A decision Of some Importance has
Just been rendered in New York Court,
by which it was virtually held that life
policy-holder becoming insane and UNI
able to attend to the payment of his pre-
MUM on maturity, is nor forfeited.
Though this decision on the surface may
seem unfair to the insurance companies,
it is undoubtedly sound in ethics, and
more in accordance with equity than
seizing the opportunity when d policy
holder is afflicted with the most terrible
of all human evils to forfeit it. There
should certainly be distinction between
inability or omission resulting from
Carelessness or want of foresight and
mental incapacity from sickness, and the
judge will be sustained by public opin-
ion. Insurance companies often show Il
heartlessncss in resisting claims which
prevents thousands from insuring their
lives at all, and were it not for the hu,
name intervention Of the Courts the
business would fall into decay. -E1.

TWO PORT DEPOSIT QUARRYMEN MUIR
ED BY A TARDY BLAST.

John Boyd, Jr,, and Armistead Green,
the latter colored man from Virginia,
had put in heavy blast at the quarries
of j. w. Malone s. Co., at Port De-
posit, which failed to explode. They
returned to it after some time and at
tempted to remove the powder, first
pouring water into The hole. Fire was
communicated in some unknown way
and the blast exploded, horribly matt
lating aud burning both Boyd and
Green and throwing them some dis
tance. Boyd had one hand entirely
blown off, and the other hand and arm
so badly mangled that it had to be
amputated. One eye is badly burncd
with powder, and it is feared the sight
of it is lost. His clothing was almost
entirely torn from his body. Green
lost nearly all the fingers off one hand
and portionslof his body are burned
almost to crisp. 1t is thought he has
a family in Virginia.
