EFFECT OF SALT on WHEAT.-In
an interesting series Of experiments
recently made on the farm of the
Royal Agricultural society Of Eng
land, manurial value of salt unmis-
takAbly indicated. An acre of wheat
dressed with 500 pounds Of common
salt yielded SO bushels of grain, with
proportloDate amount Of straw,
while an adjoining acre, left unma-
nured, produced 80 bushels per acre,
with the straw imperlectly developed,
showing an increase Of ten bushels
per acre. The entire cost OF the crop
is stated, but this experiment shows
that the additional ten bushels result.
ing from the salt We're produced at a
cost OF so cents each.
In another case piece Of ground
intended for wheat was plowcd the
preceding fall, and again in May,
when it Was sowsd with salt, and
aferward pIoughel twice before seed
ing. On the lst and 81 of September
WI WAS sowel at the rate of two
bushels to the acre. The crop when
harvested yielded according to the
estimate of the owner, John Parke,
40 bushels of grain per acre, with a
luxurant growth of straw. From
these and IN my similar cases the in
ference seems to be that salt is a spe.
clfc for the wheat crop, importing
solidity to the grain and frlnness tc
the straw.

JOY BRINGERS.

Some men move through life as O
hand of music moves down the street,
fiinging out pleasure on every side
through the air to every one, far and
near, that can listen. Some men fill
the air with their presence and sweet
ness, as orchards i'm October days fill
the air with the perfume of ripe fruit,
Some women cling to their own
houses, like the honeysuckle over the
door, yet, like it, sweeten all the re-
gion with the subtle fragrance of THEN
goodness. There are trees of right
eousness, which are ever dropping
precious fruit around them. There
are lives that shine like star-beams,
or charm the heart like. songs sung
upon holy day.
How great q bounty and blessing
it is to hold the royal gifts of the
soul, so that they shall be music to
some, and fragrance to others, and
life to all! 1t would be no unworthy
thing to live for, to make the power
which we have within US the breath o1
other mems joys to scatter sunshine
where only clouds and shadows reign
to fill the atmosphere where earth's
weary .toilers must stand with bright.
ness which they cannot create fol
themselves, and which they long for
enjoy and appreciate.

PURE ARTLESSNESS.

They sat on the steps in the capitol
yard, and his manly arm was around
her yielding waist. Suddenly she
twisted round and spoke:
'Its awful warm. t.
"Yes."
Silence for three minutes. The
young man ponders on the awful peril
that eneircles man wno goes court
ing with only 10 cents and a sleeve
button in his pocket. .
"Its the warmest weather ever
knew" aA 20
sYes: It's warm."
"Afy throat is dreadfnlly parched
and dry"
s'T'hat is, indeed, too bad; would
you like some water brought from the
fountain!'
''Oh, no; it is so terribly warm
and limey." t-.
The young man is growing desper-
ate. ...... ... .....t .t.,...
Wouldn't you like damp hand
kerchief tied around your throat, my
dear!' 49,
"No. / think 1 need something
refreshing. Dear me, it seems as tho
1 would faint for want of something
cooling"
Young man chokes with despair,
then braces up. b.
Darling, let me feel your pulse.
One hundred and ten in the moon
light! Oh, darling, it has come as I
feared. / never can forgive myself.
Your mother warned me abont keep.
ing you out in the cool air on account
of the prevailing diptheria, and now
have kept you out here and these
terrible symptoms tell of the approach
of the destroyer. Let me help you
home, my darling; and should you
die, the waters of the Colorado will
close over my hapless form forever.
Come, sweet one, let me take you
home.' -
Ten minutes later that young man
stood over a schooner of lager, and
wiped the Derspiration from his brow
as he laid down his last Is cents, and
congratulated himself on having beat

ness, while = Young woman sat on a
