How the Good People of Hyde

All in the interest of charity, the good

got up kissing entertainment the other

The committee of invitation were very
careful to avoid the presence OF any
disagreeable or unpopular person, and
the whole thing was kept very quiet to
avoid notoriety. After the company
had gathered, the gentlemen were in

themselves to I've. hugged and kissed at
so much per sq1efz., the proceeds to be
devoted to prominent and deserving
charity. There was some difficulty in
arranging o schedule of prices, aud g
stampede would have broken out earlier
If some OF the ladies had been aware OF
the value at which their charms we're es'

finally adopted: For one go-ss, you
please squeeze of one minute, and ont

DIED.,

Sunday, Dccciabcr N, 1850, Mrs. LILLIAN A.
Joy. wife Of Charles + JOY, ESl., aged twenty
ak years.
TO the many friends of this most esti-
mablo young lady tho above announce
ment will canso great sorrow. Tho de-
ceased was u native Of Hartford, Conn,
where her father, Roy. Mr.. Ordway,
mother and younger sister still reside.
Mr.. Joy, while student Mt Yale Col
lcgc, in class Of 1874, became acquainted
with Miss Ordway, and from their first
interview, mutual admiration, which
quickly ripenod into love and devotion,
seemed to inspire them both. In Octo.
Der, 1877, Miss o. was married to
Mr.. Joy, and Immediately came to st.
Louis to reside. Her aIniablc DISPOSE
ton, lelegant manners and generous
heart secured tho friendship Of all nc.
quaintanses. BY her untimely death
an aching void Is left in the hearts of
many friends, who are consoled for their
loss only by their confidence That one 80
pure and good has found perfect rest in
u better world-St. Louis Spectator.
Many friends in Louisiana will be
filled with sadness MS the tidings reach
them of the death of Miss Arabel Ord
way. A fairer form or purer spirit has
seldom, if ever, graccd the walks of
life.
That one SO young, 50 lovely, so ac-
colnplishcd, so full Of hope and high
aspirations should thus be cut Of from
earth, is a deep mystery.
Miss Ordway was three years resi-
dent of Baton Rouge-a teacher in
Readvilla Seminary. She loved our
sunny, genial cllmate-loved our people
-sympathized in our joys and sorrows,
and affiliated in our social, moral and
religious organizations.
Her culture, her warm, generous
heart, her refined, nnselfish nature, won,
Oh all sides, devoted friends, and drew
around her a charmed circle of noble
spirits. The Sunday school found in
her d Jealous labOrer-the Christian As

4 Curious Trap.

Among the discoveries made recently
in the great dead sea of the West, were
some gigantic oyster shells, more than
six feet long, each pair of which once
contained an animal that the average
boy reader of 81. Nicholas could not
lift. In other localities shells of but
one valve were found fifteen feet long,
and each of these was inhabited by q
cutie fish, that forced itself through
the water by method like that used to
shoot q rocket up into the air; and
some authorities say that these cutie
fish attained length of even thirty
feet. These long fellows had a long
aame, Orthocerotite, and they had a
cousin, the ANN onite, which grew as
large as q cart-wheel.
Such were some of the shells of q
thousand years ago; to-day the only
really large she'll is of the clam family.
1t is named T1idacna gigdS, and is found
in the Pacific ocean; the length of its
life being sixty or seventy years. II
grows imbeded in the coral, and is fast.
ened to the rocks by a cord called the
byssus, which is so tough that it'can
only be cut with an ak. The shells
themselves are SIX feet long, each valve
weighing more than two hundred and
fifty pounds; while the animal part
often weighs thirty or forty pounds.
When alive, the tridacna lies with its
great valves aiar, capturing any food
that may pass within the scalloped
edges. A shark was once caught in
this way, as shown in the picture
Swimming along in search of food, he
unwarily passed into the doorway ot
the great CLAIMS house, his tail rudely
striking the animal Like a fash the
tremendous jaws snapped together
squeezing the man. eater as if he were
in vice, and rendering him utterly
powerless. As the tide went down, the
sharks head appeared above water
thrashing about and churniug up the
sea. The hubbub attracted the atten
tion of some natives, who soon cap
tured both shark and clam.-.St. NicRo

All plants draw much OF their food
from the atmosphere, and of those used
in agriculture none are exceeded by
clover in the large proportion of nutri-
ment thus derived. In this respect
other leguminous crops are much like
red clover. Here we include all the
clovers, vetches, beans, peas, sainfoin,
lupins and lucerne.
TO keep up the fertility of our soil,
we must restore to it phosphoric acid,
potash, nitrogen and other substances
which are found in farm crops. OF the
three very important and valuable sub
stances just named nitrogen is the most
precious and costly to obtain. In vari-
ous places there are abundant supplies
of potash and phosphoric acid. AS may
be said, these are Sin sight" AgIicill-
tural chemists are now studying on the
problem of the future supply of nitrogen
for agricultural purposes. So far,
clover seems to be the important factor
in this problem.
Whole crops of clover are often
plowed under, to restore or keep up the
ertility of the soil; but 1 am safe in
saying that it has been proven a better
practice to cut off the clover, feed it,
and use the manure than to plow under
the whole crop. In other words fol
various reasons, all of which may not
seem plain-it has been shown that
blowing under a clover-stubble is fol-
lowed by about as good results (often
better as though the whole crop was
turned under. Again, Velcker shows
that land on which clover has been
grown for seed in the preceding year
yields better crop of wheat than it
does when the clover is mown twice fol
hay, or even once only, and afterward
fed off by sheep.
Says DIR. V1lcker, in the "Journal
of the Royal Agricultural Society ot
England
~. A good crop of clover removes
from the soil more potash, phosphorl(
acid, lime, and other mineral matters
which enter into the composition OF the
ashes of our cultivated crops, than any
other crop usually grown in this country
2. There is fully three times as mucl
nitrogen in crop Of clover as in the
average produce of the grain and straw
OF wheat per acre.
3. Glover is an excellent preparatory
crop for wheat.
4. During the growth of clover {
large amount of nitrogenous matter &C
curnulates in tho soil.
5. This accumulation, which is great
est in the surface soil, is due to decayinl
leaves, dropped during the growth o
clover, and to an abundance of roots
containing, when dry, from one and
half to two per cent. of nitrogen.
6. The clover roots are stronger anC
more numerous and more leaves fall ol
the ground when clover is grown TO
seed than when it is mown for hay. Il
consequence, more nitrogen is left afte
clover-seed than after hay.
7. The crop csuses Q large accumula
