Gathering and Planting Bones.

William Cliff gives valuable informa.
ton on the u.s.. of bones, In the Anseri-
ca,, Agr;culturist for January:
The value of bones as fertilizer, 10
their various forms, is we'll known.
The cost. some $50 to $40 ton, 10 the
chief objection to their use by the aver.
age farmer. 1t is not 80 generally un-
derstood that whole bones. 40 they are
gathered from the refuse of families in
the streets and yards of our villages.
are quite as available, and within reach
of many thrifty farmers who have busi-
ness every week in the neighboring
towns. They are especially valuable
for planting around fruit trees and
vines. They can be put in trenches
within reach of the roots Of trees al.
ready planted. with great advantage to
the wood and fruit OF the trees. They
are rich in ammonia, - we'll as phos-
phoric acid. and will show their effects
In the increased yield Of fruit for twenty
years or more. They have no standard
value. and can generally be purchased
of the boys, who are glad to got IS OF
20 cents q barrel for them. Sometimes
q bonanza can be struck at the slaughter
house of the village butcher. ~ the 70.
fuse of slaughtered animals, mixed With
absorbents, makes powerful fertilizer.
This Is much more valuable manure
than that of the barn-yard. The buried
bones gradually soften under the infiu-
ences Of the soil, of heat and frost, until
the fine plant rootlets penetrate the sub
stance of the bone, and absorb the nour-
ishment. If you take up grape vine
that has been planted over bed Of
bones. after few years, you will find
the bones firmly grasped by the roots,
and in decaying condition. From one
to three bushels may safely be planted
under every pear and apple tree and
grape vine.

thousand acres of the property ON whic
Ginter discovered the coal. The co;
company was called the Lehiyh Co
mine: This company opened the mir
and found the vein to be fifty feet thi,
and of the very best quality of coal.
The company made every effort to sc
cure q demand for the coal, but withoui
success. and, having become thorough,
disguised with their speculation, leased
the six thousand acres of this mammoth
coal-field to Messrs. White & Hazard. ot
Philadelphia, for twenty years, at an
annual rental of one ear of corn. Messrs.
White & Hazard tried 10 use the coal in
the blast-furnaces in 1855. but failed

conceived the idea of the hot blast fol-
saving fuel, and in 1883 David Thomas
adopted the idea of the hot blast and an.

bought the property. In 1889 DaviG
Thomas made the use of anthracite fol

the twenty ears of corn were transferred

The effects of a blizzard on the
the more extreme Northwestern
railroads are not So serious as they
are to those further to the south.
On the Northern Pacific and the
Manitoba they have in use ali of
the most modern appliances for
clearing the track, and when a
storm Of unusual severity comes
on they lay off her passenger
trains ut the nea' est station where
comforts can be provided for their
people, and lay over until the
storm has spent its str,ngth. Then
they send out extra engines and
clear the track, thus giving first
consideration to the safety and com.
fort Of their passengers. This is 9
wise precau:ion and worthy Of gem
tral adoption by roads further tc
the south, for the present storm
shows conclusively that it may
strike even IN 'rpx,s.

Heap Gene,

Following is the classic and unique
language in which Bill Nye, the Boom
erang man, paralyzes dead-beat:
Another land mark of Laramie has
gone. Another wreck has been strcwn
upon the sands of time. Another gay
bark has gone to pieces upon the cruel
rocks, and above the broken spars and
jib boom and foretop gallant royal main
brace aud spanker boom euchre deck
the cold. damp tide is moaning.
We refer to L. w. Shredder, who re-
Gently left this place incog., also in debt
largely to various people Of this gay and
festive metropolis.
Laramie has been the home at various
times of some of the most CLASSICAL dead
beats of modern times, but Shredder
was the noblest, the most grand and CO.
lossal of dead beats that has ever visited
our shores. Born with unusual abilities
In this direction, he early learned how
to enlarge and improve upon the talents
thus bestowed upon him, and here in
Laramie he soon won place at the
front as man who purchased every
thing and paid for nothing. He had a
way of approaching the grocer and the
merchant that was well calculated to
deceive, and he did in several instances
make representations which we now
learn were false.
He was by profession carpenter and
joiner, having learned the art while cut
ting cordwood on the Missouri bottoms
near Omaha for the Collins Brothers.
Here he rapidly won this way to the front
rank by erecting some of the most COM
manding architectural ruins of which
modern wood assassination can boast.
He would take q Ratchet and buck
saw and carve out his fortune anywhere
III the world, and it wouldn't cost him q
cent. He filled his whole trans Mis-
souri, country with his fame and his
promissory notes and then skinned out
and left US here to mourn.
Good bye, Shredder. Wherever you
90, we will remember you and hope
that you may succeed in piling up a
monument of Indebtedness as you did
here. You We're industrious and untir-
ing in efforts to become a grea, finan-
cial wreck and success has crowned
your efforts. We will not grudge you
the glory that coagulates about your
massive brow.

Hollerin' fir Belief.

We never know, says the Buffalo FL

minds of the sad-faced, immobils men
who open our doors or stand behind
our chairs at dinner. Their countenan-
ees never reveal their impressions of the
queer things they are often called upon
10 witness. Apropos of this, one of the
correspondents tells a funny story of an
incident which occurred at Mrs. George
Ticknor's last summer at Newport. In
her hall always stood a most impassive
and impressive liveried footman, bear
ing q silver salver on which to receive
cards, and showing usually no more
emotion than the wooden hat rack.
But one afternoon, when Mrs. Ticknor
was out and the house was very quiet,
an amanuensis copying notes in an up
stairs room, was startled by series OF
bowls and yells from below. She kept
1T her work, thinking that if the SER
wants in the kitchen were killing each
other it was no business of hers. DON
up came maid to ask if she was fright
encd. She said she was not. "Oh, We
Amt! Well, l thought I'd tell ye.
mum. that it's only the footman. When
the folks is out an the house quiet he
can't stand it, an he has to boiler. It's
kind o. relievin' to him."

ago IN her salutatory she said she had
established q newspaper :. to spare the
public half the impertinences which tho

her paper was refOrmat0ry.
The FIRST newspaper published in Amer
lea Of which we have any record was in
Massachusetts. It was called The Mas.
sachuselts Gazette and Neus Letter.
After the death of the editor the widow
edited it in. the most spirited manner
for two or three years. It was the ONLY
paper that did not suspend publication
when Boston was besieged by the British.
The Widows name was Margaret Craper.
In 1882 Rhode Island issued its first
newspaper. 1t was owned and edited
by Anna Franklin. She and her two
daughters did the printing. and their
servants worked the printing press.
History tells us that for her quickness
and correctness she was appointed prin-
ter to the colony, supplying pamphlets.
ETC., to the colonial officers. She also
printed an edition of the "Colonial
1aws'' Of $40 pages.
In 1776 Sarah Goddard printed q pa
per in Newport, r. L., ably conducting
It, afterward associating with her John
Carter. The firm was announced a.
Sarah Goddard & Co., taking the part

right.
In 1772 Clementine Reid published q
paper in Virginia favoring the colonial
cause. and greatly offending the royal
lists; and two years after another paper
was started in the interests of the crown
by Mrs. II. Boyle, borrowing the name
Of Mrs. Reid's paper, which was The
Virginia Gazette, but which was short
