LOUIS SCHILLING.
Why New Workers Wear Out
Early.

"Rurleigh's" letter to Boston Journal.
Several of our leading doctors give
it as their opinion that no nan who
takes his own life is in his right mind.
1t is also agreed that the style of living
in New York, and the style of doing
business, predisposes a man to that
morbid condition that induces
him to take his life. The
rush, the drive an excitement are al
most continuous. Men who are good
for anything have their hands full and
their heads full. The brain is like a
hot box on a railroad train only men
hold up the train, and they don't on
the street. There's hardly a prominent
man doing business on the stock ex-
change who has not work enough on
hand for a half dozen men. As an
illustration: The president at one of
our leading banks has been under the
doctors care for over a year. He
comes down to the bank every morning
at 10 o'clock, and remains till5 O'Clock
D. m. Besides the immense business
of his own institution, at II O'Clock he
goes down to Wall street, where he is
a silent partner in a stock house. AT
! o'clock he is back again at the bank.
His private office is crowded with the
prominent business men of New York.
He has at least six institutions in which
he is a manager, a director or Presi-
dent. These institutions represent
every variety of investment. Besides
this, he is at the head of az immense
denomination, financially, and gave
last year $50, 900 to help the education
al interest of his church out of a tight
place. The different societies that he
represents keep him without a mo
mcnt's leisure through the day, and
his evenings are all consumed in bu-
siness. | heard him say last week that
he never slept after three o'clock iii
the morning. How such q man lives
with such a pressure is marvellous. He
of course won't live out half his days.
He's a specimen of New York business
life. Our city is full of pr~ematurely
old men; older at thirty than their
fathers are at sixty; p~rematurely gray,
p~rematurely bald, limping around with
canes, with their underpining knocked
out unable to relish their food unless
it is covered with the most pungent of
spices. or washed down with a deluge
of liquor. One of our most eminent
physicians said the other day: mine
tenths of our citizens who go to the
insane asylum 90 there for a of
sleep and want of nutritious food :"
Considering the style Of our living and
our business, it's o at all a marvel
that we have SO many suicides.

Sugar AdulteratiOn.

The following petition has been cir
culated very largely throughout the
country, and has already received
from 81, coo to 40, 900 signatures:
From the people to the Honorable Senate
ana House OF Representatives Of the
United States
Your petitioners respectfully repre-
sent to your honorable body:
/. That the sweets now in use in the
United States, including c~ane-sugar
m~aple-sugar, syrups, candies, jellies,
honey, etc, are often aaulterated with
corn glucose.
2. That this glucose is manufac-
tured from corn starch by boiling the
starch with sulphuric acid (oil of vi
trioD, then mixing it with lime. The
glucose retains more or less of sui
phuric acid, lime, copperas, sucrate of
lime. etc.
3. That seventeen specimens Of COM
mon table syrups were recently ex-
amined by r. G. Kedzie, A. Nj. Pro
fessor of Chemistry in the Michigan
State Agricultural College, at Lansing.
Fifteen of these proved to be made Of
glucose; one contained AL grains of
sulphuric acid oil of v%itrioll, and 724
grains of lime to the gallon; another,
which had caused serious sickness in a
whole family, contained 70 grains of
sulphuric acid, % grains of sulphate Of
iron [copperas and 1868 grains of lime
to the gallon.
3. The American people are pre-emi-
nently a sugar eating people. The
consumption of sugar by EACH indis
vidual in our country is shown by sta
tistics to be about 40 pounds a wear.
1t is seen at once that the adulteratOrs
of sugars and other sweets not only
cheat our people in the quality of what
they consume, since glucose contains
some thirty to forty per cent. of agar,
but injure also the public health. by
selling under false names an article ms
furious to health.
D. 1t as much the right and duty OF
Congress to enact laws against this
as any other frauds: for instance. if
If counterfeitcrS Of money iniure the
public wealth, counterfeiters of food
injure the public health.
In view of the above facts, your pc
titioners earnestly request your honor>
able body to decree that the adulteraS
ton of sweets AMI the sale OF such
adulterated products, are fraudulent
practices against the people; and to
enact laws for the suppression of this
illegal business.
And your petitioners will ever pray.

Why Women Marry.

Vanity Fair in a recent issue saws I:
The question which we considered last
week, ''Why Men Marry" is an inter
esting one but 1t must be pronounced
inferior in interest to the question +:
"Why Women Marry in the degree
in which men are in all respects less
interesting than women. The willing
ness of women to marry is greater and
more patent than that Of men; and,
we will add, that it is a great deal
more wonderful. That women have,
to use a c%olloquial phrase. the worst
of it all through life, we entertain no
doubt, and that the matrimonial state,
as understood by experience, has, as a
rule, fewer attractions for them than
for men, we also believe to be true.
Yet, while there are many men who
from choice abstain from marrying,
and still more who put off marrying
till the last practicable moment, we
doubt if there are any women worth
mentioning who refuse the married
state from option and deliberation,
and not many who postpone marrying
till a late period Of life from a general
repugnance to having a husband. That
WO1ntQ reIuSo lnulNlutdl Hleu, anu
sometimes 90 on refusing man after
man. is true enough; but then their
objection is to the man and not to the
condition of life the man proposes: or,
not unfrequently, their refusal arises
from mere Skittishness. from a feeling
they may do better, Or from a cheerful
conviction that there Is plenty OF time
to ''think about it." As a rule. how
ever, women who have the chance of
marrying, marry. and they would mar
y yet more promptly than they do
were it not that they are frequently
held back from taking a foolish step
by wise parents or dissuading friends.
How is this apparent paradox T. be
explained laere IS less &c induce a
woman to marry than 70 induce men:
vet men hesitate to marry aad women
jump at marriage. Some will answer
that man IS a rational and woman an
irrational animal: but over and above
the distinction being too uncompli-
mentary to be true, it is one of those
plausible explanations that explain
nothing. Again, it is sometimes af-

The Essential Elements to Make
Wheat.

In our visit last week to Nelson
county, KY, we heard quite an inter,
esting discussion between farmers u
grangers as to the utility OF caustlc
lime in growing a wheat crop. Such
discussions will cause the farmers to
investigate and learn the mineral ele-
ments entering into the various crops.
and will be useful and profitable when
they will put into execution their
knowledge of such facts. A similar
discussion is going through the Prac-
teal Farmer, of Pennsylvania, on the
ingredients of wheat, and below we
give the views Of one OF the writers;
but we differ from his conclusions as
our knowledge of chemistry tells US
that nitrogen is the prevailing ele-
ment in wheat, while we admit that
pnosphoric acid in the shape of bone
dust has given the farmers in the VI
entity of Louisville some wonderful
crops of wheat.
Mr.. w. w. Young this season grew
81 bushels per acre, from the appllca-
ton of 200 pounds of bone dust, and
$50 of superphosphates, when he had
formerly harvested only 10 bushels.
In this combination he had both the
nitrogen aud phosphoric acid, and also
the potash, and the combination APP
proximated as neal a perfect fertilizer
as is known to chemist. We commend
the subjoined article to to the care
full perusal of every patron OF the Ag-
r~iculturalist.
In our circular we claim that phos-
phoric acid is the chief element, or the
mineral element of all Others removed
by crops. which it is most important
for us to return to the soil. We arrive
at this conclusion by the analysis OF
the substances which are sold OFT the
farm. We assume that it is grain,
milk and and animals which are sold,
that, as a rule, the hay, straw, and
stalks of crops are fed upon the farm,
and that these all remain on the farm
in the shape of manure, except what is
found in the bodies of our farm ami
mails.
To illustrate the problem We will
now take a look at the elements con-

There is no reason for having a barren

easily improved simply by mulching
for one season with leaves. Or, if YOU
will not wait one year for results, cover
the hillsides or other barren places
with a deep layer of leaves, and in the
spring burn the leaves off. The char

Potash $3.50 80. 70
Pbosphoric acid 60 10 22.2O
We asserted that phosphoric acid was
the principle or chief mineral element,
and the one element, we must have the
greatest care for. VESSEL our wheat,
and all the elements shown In the ia
bic of the elements of the grain are
goae, totally. We feed the straw, and
the elements left in the manure from
the straw will be rich in everything
tsoda and phosphoric acid excepted).
In all that we sell, we sell most of
phosphoric acid, and return least of it
in manure. 1t is true that high feed
ing will give more phosphoric acid In
the manure, if the grain is fed to ma
ture animals; but if the grain be fed to
growing animals or cows giving milk,
the anu will be poor in phosphoric
acid. Bothered Farmer" will take
notice that phosphoric acid, potash and
mercial fertilizers which are valued in
their analysis. Now, since in wheat
we find that 90 parts phosphoric acid
are sold away in the grain, and only
% parts returned in the straw. while
in potash only % parts are sold away
in the grain and 80 parts are returned
in the straw. there arises a great de-
ficiency in phosphoric acid and only a
small deficiency in potash. All the
grain crops will show similar figures.
Therefore we say ph%osphoric acid is
the chief, the principal element to be
returned to the soil as a fertilizer.
We close by saying that chemistry
teaches that instead of phospnoric
acid being abundant in the soil, it is
much less abundant than the other ele-
ments. While the great element,
phosphoric acid is comparatively a
scarce element, there is in the economy
of Providence a fair and square, SEN
sible reason for it's being so.
AS a practical proof Of the fact
shown in the analysis tables, that
phosphoric acid and soda, salt clement,
are needed in wheat, and as a proof
that other elements were not exhausted,
I append a statement from a late
Ravenna paper. This farmers expe-
renee proves my assertion very clearly.
Of course we can not tell just how
important either was, singly. as both
were used !; but as crops on which
Premium was put on adjoining farms
without the salt were large Though
not so large as where the SAIL was Put
it is fair to suppose that both the
nhosphoric acid and soda played an
important part in producing a great
crop on this poor soil. The following
is the statement, published on the 'th
day Of August:
