tracing wheat from the carcass OF
your dead COW. Pick up all the bones
you can find, put them under cover and
mix with them two or three times their
bulk of ashes from your kitchen; moist
en- them with enough water SO that the
potash may act on the gelatin of the
bones; stir them over once q week,
and In month or two you will find
the bones 80 tender that you can cut
and crush them with blow of yotir
shovel; beat the whole into powdery
mass, and you will have a manure bet
ter than the average superphosphates
which you feel too poor to buy. Give
handful of this to each hill of corn
and see how it will wave its banner of
green, and pour into your basket the
golden ears of corn.
But in bringing your soil into good
condition, do not neglect green manur-
ing; let every wind that blows over
your fields bring them blessing in the
shape of atmospheric plant food. Do
all these things patiently and hopeful

what it can do, and you will yet, out OF
the fulness of grateful heart, exclaim

The Extraordinary Adventures OF an
Extraordinary Beauty.

THE romantic vicissitudes of the early
life of the Countess SOlange de Kramer
have once more become the talk of the
Paris salons, and they are, indeed, so
extraordinary that, used as materials
for novel, they would spoil the book
by their lack of verisimilitude. One
night, in 1901, little girl about one
year old, was deposited in the drawer
of the founding asylum at Brest. She
was dressed with much finery, and a
note, attached to her skirts, told that
her name was Solange, and that she
would be reclaimed by her father. The
claim was never made, however, and
in due time the child was transferred
to the orphan asylum, to be educated
there. As she grew up she developed
q most extraordinary beauty, but her
intellect appeared to be very weak, and
she suffered from frequent nervous fits
When she was twelve years old she was
sent out into the streets to sell flowers,
and her beauty and modesty attracted
many peoples good will, but she grew
weaker and weaker, and at last she
died. According to French customs,
she was buried in an open casket. and,
as it was winter and the soil was fro
zen, she was laid into the grave, only
covered with a thin layer of sand.
During the night she awoke and, push
ing the sand away, she crept out from
this grave. Not exactly understanding
what had taken place, she was not so
very much frightened, but in crossing
the glacis between the cemetery and the
Notifications, she was suddenly stopped
by the cutlery, "Qui vive," and as shd
did not answer, the sentinel fired, and
she fell to the ground. Brought into
the guard house, her wound was. found
to be slight, and she soon recovered,
but her singular history, and also her
great beauty had made so deep an inn
preston on a young lieutenant of the
garrison (Kramer) that he determined
to be her protector, and sent her to one
of the most fashionable educational es-
Establishments in Paris. During the next
few years Kramer was much tossed
about by the war, but when in 1918 he
returned to Paris, he found Solange 4
full-grown woman, not only beautiful,
but accomplished and spirited, with no
more trace of intellectual weakness or
nervous fits. He married her, and for
several years the couple lived happily
in Paris. Meanwhile, Investigations
were made concerning the girl left, in
1901, in the Founding Hospital at
Brest, and as these Investigations were
made by the Swedish Ambassador, and
in a somewhat official manner, they at
tracted some attention. Captain Kra-
mer heard about the affair, and sell.

later on, the Ambassador came in state

Plain Statement OF Facts.

WHEN learn that only one farm in
twenty-five is paid for when, bought,
the wonder to me is, not that so many
fail. but that so many succeed. When
Richard Roe buys John Does farm for
81, 800, pays 5000 down, and gives a
mortgage tor 800 at eight per cent,
expecting to make living for him.
self and family, pay Mr.. Doe $50 a
month interest, and have net three or
four per cent. at the end of the year
on 81 500, it brings no surprise to me
that MIR. Roe finds such farming don't
pay. What does the man own, in
fact? just $4,000. That figure repre-
sents his capital. There is no kind of
business to be found to-day, other
than farming. in which $4,000 can be
made to yield any kind of living to a
family without drawing on the princi-
pal. Any gain in interest is not to be
thought of.
Who, of all your readers, can point
out any industry, commercial Or me-
chanical, that will now pay ten per
cent. on borrowed capital? What bust.
ness will pay five per cent. on borrowed
capital, and leave the plant in as good
condition at the end of the year as
at the beginning of the year? Not
one. Those farmers who had so little
foresight as to buy more land than they
could handle, are simply doing what
numbers of men in other callings have
done, and will do for all tines giving
way to men who know how to handle
money. That's the rub. Men under.
take too much with too little capital,
and inevitably fail.
Farming does pay, and pay well, OH
the capital actually invested, with such
general intelligent management as
would be necessary in other business.
There is no other business which Of
fers as good security for the invest
mcnt; there is no other business which
brings more contentment and less wea-
rying anxiety of mind. The man who
owns his farm and has three or four
per cent. at the end of a year on paid
up capital, after supporting his fami-
ly, is actually in better condition than
nine tenths of the men in any other
calling. To persuade such man that
Earning don't pay'' would he an act
of cruelty. The man who is mort
gagged up to his eyes is neither farm
er, doctor. nor lawyer--he is only a
laborer. Whether through fault or
misfortune, he has no capital, and
should not attempt to cast odium on a
calling or interest from which, under
the memorable law of survival of the
fittest, he has been crowded out. Cor.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

LONDON Truth mentions q character
istic rumor as current in Paris to the
effect that the savages who assegaied
the Prince Louis Napoleon were no
Zulus at all, but political agents in dis
guise.
KING HUMBERr of italy, according
to Londcn paper. has foot in the
grave. His spine is diseased. and he
splits blood. The physicians attending
him prescribe the soft air of Madeira.
The probable regent, in his absence,
will be the Prince of Carignan, his
cousin"
ACCORDING to the London Truth,
Canon Beadon attributed his long life
to the facts that he had never entered
on any brain work. even of the slight
est sort, for some hours after meal:
that during the last forty years of his
life he had taken no medicine, and
that he always rose at very early
hour.
THE ex-Khedive of Egypt is de-
scribed as q little man, middle-aged,
dressed in black official coat, black
trousers and red fez. stout, short
necked, with big ears and very plain
face until he begins to talk, and then
the intelligence makes you forget the
plainness, and you 60 away thinking
him good-looking.
Miss LEIGH, who has distinguished
herself by establishing in Paris mission
homes for English women and chill
dren, says that very large part of the
distress among Englishwomen in that
city is owing to the state of the French
law, which does not recognize as bind
ing marriage contracted by a French
man with an Englishwoman in En-
gland. AS long as the couple remain
in England they are lawfully welded;
but let trip be taken to France, and
the wife is no longer wife and her
children are nameless.
IT is stated that during call made
on the Sultan by Mrs. Layard, wife of
the British Minister, the Sultan invited
her to ride with him. In few min
utes light basket carriage, drawn by
two dashing bays, stopped in front of
the palace. The Sultan gave Lady
Layard his arm, opened her parasol
himself, and assisted her down the
steps, shading her the while. Not only
this, but during the entire course of a
half hours ride through the palace
grounds, Notwithstanding her rcmon-
strances that the Sultan would fatigue
himself, he stoutly held the parasol
over her head while she handled the
reins-an act of courtesy to a woman,
anu Christian at that, unprecedented
in the annals of the Ottoman Empire.
