WOman's Money Rights.

There are many who VIII echo the
sentiments of contributor on "the
money question as between men and
women, and perhaps one or two
thoughtful persons will be moved by
it but will it do more Every now
and then such AN article appears, and
plenty of women could write plenty
more. but men would be the last per-
sons to read them. 1t is impossible to
make men understand. The story is
told of farmer who was prosperous,
and whose wife had worked early and
late, as perhaps only farmers wife
can, and contributed her full share to
the prosperity. When it was suggest
ed that her shawl was shabby, he cool

decent things for you :" as if she were

her to be reserved for some case of need.
1t was especially set aside, and there

of a prosperous business. One day hel
husband asked her for this money and
she gave it to him, and that was the
end of it. He never dreamed of re-

We are often asked, "What is Cos
sip?n We answer, in a general way,
that it is talking of persons rather than
things. Nothing shows the paucity OF
ideas more than this talking about the
affairs of your neighbors. 1t is not
only malicious people who originate
scandal; it is narrow minded people,
ignorant people, stupid people. Per-
sons of culture and intelligence are not
so hard run for topics of conversation.
They can usually find something to
say about art, literature, fashion or so
ciety. The moment people begin to
talk of their neighbors persons
rather than things-they are apt to de-
generate into scandal !; for where one
speaks of the virtues of an acquaint-
ance, a dozen expatiate on his or her
shortcomings. And this brings us to
speak of real culture, or what we con-
slider to be such, at least. A cultivat-
ed person in the highest sense of the
term, is not merely one who can talk
of books, pictures and other elevated
subjects of human interest. To be
thoroughly cultivated the heart, as
we'll as the intellect, should he refined
and enlarged. Sometimes we see
women who, without education, yet
having been born amiable, are never
guilty of gossip. Again we see women
not naturally amiable, whom educa-
ton has taught to talk of things, not
of persons. The perfect woman, i'll
this respect, is one who is both anna
BILE and educated. But education does
not always elevate people above the
region of gossip. \ really bad heart
is always malicious. The best advice
we can give is the homely old adage
''Mind your own business" Very few
of us ever know the whole truth about
anything concerning "A neighbOr, and
to speak of his or her conduct is usual
ly to run the risk of being unjust
Much less should we talk of the mo-
tives of others. Very few of us know
our own motives, and To venture on dis

A Fertilizer Formula.

At the recent meeting of the board
of agriculture at st. JOhnsbury Centre
the subject of fertilizers was discussed,
and it was said more than two hundred
tons of New Hampshire quartz rock
was sold to our Vermont farmers in
the fertilizers they bought. DR.. Cut
ting, the secretary of the board, gave
us ii formula for preparing all the es-
sential value we get in one ton of the
best phosphates we buy He said
get one barrel, 240 lbs, of fine bone
meal ; then provide tuba half of a
molasses hOgshead will do into this
put one-half of the barrel of bone meal,
pour on sufficient water to mOisten the
meal, then pour in 3 gallons or IL
pounds of sulphuric acid, stir well with
a hoe until every particle of bone is
brought in contact with the acid then
let it remain in the tub over night
in the morning add the other half bar
rel of bone meal and stir thoroughly
this will dry the mixture, and it is then
fit for use. You can add the sand, OF
plaster, or dry muck, or rich loan, tC
make one ton in weight, very much
cheaper than to pay for transporting
from Boston or some other point to the
place of use. A. A. PIERCE.

Michigan in 1881 maintained its position
as the largest salt-producing state by plac-

pie, exceeding by nearly 100000 bbls. the
previously unprecedented yield of 1850. Of
this total all but 5000 bbls. passed the
careful state inspection as first quality. Its
manufacture was the work of l2l salt blocks
and 4, 900 solar covers, having an estimated
annual capacity of 8, 400 900 6bls. The Sag
NAV valley yielded the greater part of this
product, but there was considerable contri-

which face each other across the mouth of

sunk at Manistee, on the shore of Lake

The presence of SIR Harry Parkes in the

Hence the Importance of his mission,
which, though not official, is doubtless in
tended to be the basis for further and otli-
cal action. The figures gwen above show
the importance of the matter to Australia.
The duty at present levied on Australian
wool is practically prohibitory, although
the importation has been increasing. The
Australian clip Of 1873, the latest of which
We have been able to obtain statistics read
lily, was $50, 1000, 900 ms; it is now probably
400, 600 900 lbs, and there is room for an in
definite, increase, 1t will ere long equal the
whole production of Europe. 1t is now
more than 150, 100000 in excess of the clip
of the United States, the total of this coun-
try in 1881 having been 200000,-
600. 1t is manifest, therefore, that Australia
Is bound to be the great wool-growing coun-
try of the world. Wool in Sydney sells at
10 to 26 cents as a range, so that for
the competition OF Australia. Still the
importations Of Australian wool at
this port have nearly doubled in
the past year, the increase being from
about 40 90 pounds in 1SS0to about 500, 900
in 1881, while it will doubtless continue to
increase. Australia can afford us little in
the way of reciprocity. as the colonies have
not a uniform tariff; some have nearly if not
quite free trade, while Others have u pro-
tectiye system similar to ours.n
A number Of Kansas retail merchants
have signed an agreement to buy no goods
through drummers. ain some respects the
system is a convenience, they say, in a cir
cular sent to Chicago and St. Louis firms,

time, and are too little disposed to take no
for an answer. We find that they force
themselves and their goods upon us, and
have decided to take stand against
