VALUE OF SWAMP MucK.-Somc
time ago wc remarked that an
acre of swamp muck Of good
quality, thrcc feet deep, was act
uaIly worth $25,OO0. No doubt
such a statement is surprising.
So was tho statement Of DR..
Lawcs, Of England, that q ton of
bran fed to COWS returned more
than it cost in manure. Swamp
muck, FREQ from sand, contains
two per cent, or forty pounds of
nitrogen in a ton. Nitrogen is
worth in the market twenty-five
cents a pound; so that a ton of
swamp muck is actually worth
$40 for the nitrogen in it. All
that is needed is to work up the
muck, so as to make nitrogen
available. An acre Of swamp
muck throc feet deep contains
1850 tons, and would require
eight months to draw out, at ten
loads day. Few persons realize
the value of the icrtilizing clc-
lncnts Of common waste matters
which lie under their feet, and tho
|'imumcrablc tons Of mattdf that
may be available for fortilizing pur-
poses, and that much Of the idle
and neglected materials represent
a vast amount Of wealth. .--Amc-

Why Gambetta Broke his Engage
mnnf.


Gambetta is bachelor; but he has
not lived so long without having at least
contemplated marriage. The story of
his engagement to an heiress in Western
France, and its sudden breaking of, give
us q fresh glimpse of his character.
From the time of his leaving his humble
home at Cahors, till his rise to the high
est rank OF public personages, Gambetta
lived with a.faithtul, loving, aunt, who
had followed him to Paris, and who
madeevery where he went pleasant
home tor him. She was az once his maid
of-ail-work and his congenial companion;
and he was as deeply attached to her as
she was to him. His engagement to a
handsome and accomplished girl with a
dot of 81, 000,0 900 was shock to the good
aunt, but she yielded gracefully to the
inevitable. When the arrangements for
the marriage were being discussed. how
ever, the young lady took it into her
head to make it condition Of their
union that the aunt should be excluded
from the new establishment. She was
scarcely elegant enough to adorn gilded
salons. Gambetta explained how much
his aunt had been to him; the rich beau
| ty was only more obdurate. Gambetta

bow. stAdjeu," said he; tive were not

Different Modes.

T
All over the world it is the fashion to
make wedding gifts good old fashion
which has descended from feudal times.
In q start in married life certain
necessaries in. the way of furnitrra,
crockery, and SO on, were always ac-
eeptable. Rich people and feudal lords
would not object, on the bridal of their
daughters, to receive presents from
their vassals. In different countries were
different modes. The penny weddings
in Scotland are peculiar. Invited guests
make contributions in money. One
shilling is the general tribute, and half
crown is q princely Offering. Out of
the SUM thus collected the not-very-
costly expenses of the feast were paid,
and the surplus went toward buying
the furniture. In the weddings of the
poorer classes in Ireland this leyying
contributions on guests never takes
place. There is o collection, however,
to raise sum for literally compensat-
ing the clerical gentleman who ahas
tied the knot" and in the house of 9
rich farmer this swells up to a good
round sum. In Wales, among the small
farmers and traders, the custom pre-
walls to this day of bidding" not
single guests, but whole families, to 3
wedding. That such an event is to
come of. with the where and when, is
duly advertised in the local newspaper,
with q request that all persons who, in
time past, have been similarly obliged
in that manner, will attend, bringing
presents for the bride and groom. Be
side this, written invitations are sent, so
that the invited guest can scarcely
evade his obligations.

Alaska Winters.

In winter. from what l can learn, the
storms are mostly rain, at temperature
of IS or 40 degrees, and strong winds,
which, when they sweep the channels
lengthwise, lash them into waves, and
carry the salt scud far into the woods.
lifelong nights are then gloomy enough
to most people, and the value of q snug

cedar fire, and book-covered tables.
may be finely appreciated. Snow falls
quite frequently, bnt never to any great
depth, or to lie long. Only once, since
the settlement of Fort Wrangel, the
ground was covered to the depth of
four feet. The ordinary depth any
where near sea-level is said to be q
sloppy condition. The mercury seldom
falls more than 5 or 6 degrees below
the freezing point, unless the wind
blows steadily from the mainland. Back
from the coast, however, beyond the
mountains, the winter months are in.
tensely cold. At Glenora, on the
Stickene river, less than 1000 feet
above the levelof the sea, a Temperature
of from 80 to 40 degrees below zero il

How Far Twenty Cents VIM Go.

The wife of tho man next door he's
fertile brain, which is kept actively en-
p1oyed in . variety Of directions. Among
her household gods are dozen Of
plants in pots, and . variety Of these in
q box mounted on pedestal. The box
she got at the store; the pedestal she
and the boy together made. After it
was done she wanted it painted.
She might have sent it to the painter
for that purpose, but he would charge
more than it was worth. To save the
extra cost she determined to do the
work herself. She could get pound of
paint all mixed in q pot, with brush.
for 20 cents the pot and brush to be
returned after the work was done. It
was simple thing to paint, and she
could put it on as easily and nicely as
q trained hand could do it. The man
next door didn't think much about it.
It was not in his line, but he got the
paint.
It was q great surprise to the wife of
the man next door to see how little of
the paint was required to cover the box
and pedestal, and how much was left
after the work was done. What should
she do with itp Not return it, of
course, for she would not be allowed
anything for it. Now that she had it
she might as well use it. There was
undoubtedly something it could be
used on.
She looked around for the object in
question, and was not long in finding
it. There are more or less dingy, bat
tered articles about house which acoat
of paint would improve. Her house was
no exception. Her eyes lighted on a
box holding her securing sand. In a
few moments it was delightful green.
Then she looked around for other
fields to conquer, and presently she
found them, and continued to find them
| as long as the presence of paint made
it necessary to search for them. She
was nearly the whole afternoon using
up that pot of paint, but it was time
well employed.
And it was amazing, as she admitted
to herself, how far 20 cents worth OF
paint would go, judiciously applied.
She knew her husband would be sur.
prised when he came home at night al
all she had done.
And he was. ..,
When he observed the green clock
case and looked at the green paper rack
and found that he had green writing

Next mornin' the party settled to do
the business went up to the Chimes
camp, but they wouldn't take the mo-

meant to have the proceeds of the day;
but the boys looked angerous, SO the
heather finally said they settle up that
night, take the money and give posses
sion.
s.This made the gulch worse than ever,
and shares changed hands at fine rate,
men selling theirs and then getting SO
excited that they bought back again.

that we made; but the heather had

to make big show. That day they
