-Sorrel has running roots, and can

smother it. If the ground is too wet to
grow grass and clover it should be
drained. As the ground is probably well
seeded with the sorrel it will be necessary
to pcrsevere for some time before it can
be wholly cleared Oft. When the ground
is well drained agood application of lime

Mr.. Thomas Meehan says that most
failures with seed arise from not sowing
in partial shade If the hot sun shines
upon the seed beds when the seeds are
swelling, and cold follows, many may
rot before the plants reach the surface
A very slight shade will answer, such as
brushwood or cornstalks will afford
With seeds which do not grow till the

-Twenty-th years ago Colonel d.
M. Clough, of Canterbury, N. H., bought
WORKOUT farm of 400 acres. 1t would
not keep more than eight or ten head of
cattle, one or two horses and few sheep.
In thirteen years he had so improved
it that he wintered 100 head of cattle,
$50 sheep and six horses. To accom-
plish this no manure was used, except a
little super-phosphate of lime to give the
corn an early start Under his care the
farm rose in value from $4,000 to ST.
Gee. The secret of his success is that all
his hay and grain has been consumed
upon the farm, and large quantities of
muck used both as an absorbent and
composted with lime.

A Horrible Story.

The act of putting lead pencil to the
JDngue to wet just before writing, which
we notice in so many people, is one of
the oddities for which it is hard to give
any reason, unless it began in the days
when pencils were poorer than now, and
was continued by example to the next
| generation.
A lead pencil should never be wet
1t hardens the lead and ruins the pencil.
This fact is known to newspaper men
and stenographers. But nearly every
one else does wet pencil before
using it. This fact was definitely settled
by newspaper clerk away down East
Being of mathematical turn of mind,
he ascertained by actual count that of
fifty persons who came into his office TO
write an advertisement or church no.
tice, forty-nine wet a pencil in their
mouths before using it. Now this clerk
always uses the best pencils, cherishing
good one with something of the pride
soldier feels in his gun or his sword,
and it hurts his feelings to have his pen
Gil spoiled. But politeness and business
considerations require him to lend his
pencil scores of times day. And often
| after 1t has been wet till 1t was hard ana
brittle and refused to mark, his feelings
would overpower him.
Finally he got some cheap pencils and
sharpened them, and kept them to lend.
The first person who took up this stock
pencil was a drayman whose breath
smelt of onions and whisky. de held
the point in his mouth and soaked it for
several minutes, while he was torturing
himself in the effort to write an adver-
tisement for missing bulldog.
Then a sweet looking young lady
came into the office, with kid gloves that
buttoned half the length of her arm.
She picked up the same old pencil and
pressed it to her dainty lips preparatory
to writing an advertisement for lost
bracelet. The clerk would have stayed
her hand, even at the risk of box of
the best pencils, but he was too late.
And thus that lead pencil passed from
mouth to mouth for week. 1t was
sucked by people of all ranks and sta
tions, and all degrees of cleanliness and
uncleanliness But we forbear. Surely
no one who reads this will ever again
wet pencil. Commercial.

Booths Panacea.

The audience at the Opera House last Friday
night when Edwin Booth played "Hamlet,"
undoubtedly noticed the pungent odor that
pervaded the house, after the great scene be-
tween Hamlet and his mother, during which
the old Chamberlain Polouius is killed. 1t
was peculiar yet not unpleasant, and only
those familiar with the substance producing
it, could account for the odor The eminent
tragedian himself and the company support
ing him, have been suffering for several DAYS
past from colds and physical aches produced
by the changeful weather and the usual ex-
posure on the stage, and one of the company,
Mr.. d. c. Anderson, who played Polonus,
was taken violently and suddenly i'll during
the play; by directions Of Mr.. Booth, who is
always solicitou. for the welfare of his people,
bottle of St Jacobs Oil was brought from
his dressing case and the suffering actor thor
oughly rubbed with the famous German
Remedy, which soon brought relief and full
recovery. Mr.. Booth always carries this re-
liable emollient with him, and the contents of
his dressing case without it, would be as in
complete as the play of Hamlet without the
ghost Burlington (Ia.) Gazette
