Until the middle Of the present century
few of even the most intelligent farmers
in the world knew of the value Of bones
for cnriching land. A few had noticed the
remarkable growth rs well as the wonder
full productivcneSs Of grape vines planted
over the skeleton Of an animal, but 1t did
not occur to these persons to collect bones
reduce them, and apply them to land
planted TO ordinary field and garden crops
The great value of bones consists in the
amount Of phosphorus they contain. This
substance Is osScntial to the growth Of the
most valuable food plants. which gradually
but steadily remove il from the soil. 1t Is
most readily and chcaply restored to the
soil by the use of bones. In addition to
phosphorus, homes contain lime and CON
siderable ammonia. Entire bones remain
in the ground long time before they are
decUmposcd to such an extent that they
are appropriated hy plants. II is extremely
difficult To pulycrize them without the aid
of powerful and expensive machinery II
they are first burned they may be pounded
up very readily, hut the action Of heat
drives off ammonia This ammonia is val
liable in promoting the growth Of plants,
and il is also of great use in fastening the
decomposition of the honv structure
Bones may be rendered sufficiently soft to
be easily reduced by covering them with
fresh horse manure, and allowing them TO
remain IN ii for several weeks; by placing
them in tight vessels and covering tncm
with wood ashes occasionally moi>tencd
or 10y boiling them in strong I've. The
last is the quickest as well rs the most
satisfactory method of reducing them. if
one has kettle OF the capacity Of barrel.
Treated in either Of these ways they should
he pulverized and mixed with fine earth or
dried muck before they are applied to the
land

Reading Servants.

There are many women who complain
if their housemaids show fondness for
reading. even in moments of leisure; but
they could hardly find the kind of service
they like in the servant who cannot read.
Did any of You ever notice the difference
between the educated and the uneducated
housekecpcr? The one brings all her in
tclligence to bear upon her work, the other
works with a stolidness that betrays her
sluggish brain. If all servant girls were
educated one would save money even at d
higher rate OF wages than by employing
uneducated women, One of the first bush
ness houses in New York, known as well
in Europe as in this country, furnishes
books, teachers and apparatus FOR thor
ough instruction Of all their employees in
the common branches and the rudiments
of science and mechanics, requiring them
to give an hour daily at recitation, for
which they prepare out of work hours.
No deduction is made because of this
hours absence from the work room or on
account of instruction or school books.
The house gets its return from OUTLAWS Of
this sort from the increased skill and intel
ligcncc Of its employees. If the house mis-
tress can feel and take an interest in the
substantial improvement of her domestic
help and make them sensible of it, she will
have a basis for expectation that they in
turn will be conscientious in their regard
for her interests and her rights. In all
stations of life intelligence is TO be praised.

A Tender Judge.

Yesterday afternoon the Great Griz-
zly exterminator of California was
brought before Justice Moses to answer
to charge of having been drunk On
he street. He had been privately
informed at the Jail that hunting Was
the particular weakness Of his Honor
and advised to appeal to the fellow
feeling Of the court. Judge Moses
looked sternly at Medicine Bill and
said civilian, you are charged with
being drunk: what have you to say?"
"Well. yer Honor, / may have been
q little otf, but yer see I've just come
in from bear hunt, and felt like
having good time"
Bear hunt, did you say ?" asked
the court, with evident interest.
Eyes. sir; I'm the boss grizzly killer
Of the Yosemite. Show me q grizzly
an Ill show yer some dirty work. I'm
a bad man to clean up after, am"
"Well. now, this court isn't any
SLOUGH Of grizzly slayer itself. This
tribunal ofjustice used to hunt bears
and sleep in blanket over in Califor-
mia. You've heard of Grizzly Adams
and Mountrin Charley, Of course"
Medicine Bill admitted that he had
and. in fact, was intimately acquainted
with both those mighty hunters.
"Well, this court had the honor Of
teaching both those gentlemen the
knack Of catching a grizzly BY the
tail and pulling his spine out.
Medicine Bill said he had often
seen them do it, and heard them tell
how they learned the trick from his
honor.
The court ordered Deputy Josephs.
who was beating the DEVILS TATTOO on
the stove pipe. to preserve proper de-
corum. and looking solemnly at Medi-
cine bill, asked him how long it
would take him to get out Of town
and point himself toward the Sierra
where the grizzly roams in his native
wilds.
Medicine Bill allowed that If he didn't
break leg he wouldn't be moro than
ten minutes inside the city limits. and
the court told him to 60. regardless OF
the frantic psDtomime Of Deputy
Josephs, who Jaw himself swindled out
Of the usual fee Of 50 for escortiDg .

Jail.

There IL rumor a6oat that the

lence Of Harper's Weekly-Mr Curtis
and Mr.. Nast-are ut variance with
each other in their opinions on current
politics. Strange to say, Mr.. Mast.
who had been bitterly partisan to
the core. has developed a friendly
weakness for Gen. Hancock, and, II
he bad his way, would turn the current
of political illustrations very decidedly
in favor of the Democratic nominee.
Mr.. Curtis, whose political orthodoxy
has always been suspected BY the re-
gular party men. has on :his occasion
thrown himself heart and soul into the
work for Mr.. Garfield. The immediate
is that Nast's cartoons are
either omitted or crowded into OBJ
scure corners, and the paper has to de-
