Demand for the New Nickel.

The distribution of the new five-ceni
piece designed by Superintendent Snow
den began at the. mint on Thursday
morning. The new coin was eagerly
snapped up. during the day 1O2. 40C
were placed in circula ion. Fullyan hour
before the mint was opened for bust
ness persons began to gather on the
steps of the building. Shortly after
nine o'clock the doors were thrown
open, and the crowd, which had largely
increased. formed in line, and in turn
each person made a purchase of the
bright and attractive nickels. The coin
was put up in packages of s., which
was the smallest amount that could be
bought. The rush continued until half
past two o'clock when the supply be-
came exhausted. The amount distrib-
uted aggregated IS, 120. OF which sum
"a, 220 was in So packages. The bal
ance, amounting to $500. was taken
in sums of $50 by the various banks
and large retail business houses.
The demand was not confined
to any particular class. News-boys and
boot-blacks pressed their way to the
cashiers desk with the air of young
Vanderbilts and threw down their crisp
SIS notes for packages of the shining
pieces. Mingling among the callers
during the day were a number of fe-
males, evidently shop-keepers, who
pro ured a supply of the coins for the
purpose of giving them in change to
crafty the curiosity of customers.
Many persons wanted to pur base
small amounts, ranging from twenty
five cents to 81, but. under the rule. no
demand for less than So was honored.
A speculative news-boy reaped quite a
harvest in selling the new nickels to
Chestnut street promenaders at six
cents piece. Under ordinary circum.
stances it is difficult matter to, meet
the orders for small coins, particularly
five-cent pieces, and considering the
demand for the new nickels, Superin-
tendant Snowden thinks that the pro-
duction, for a time at least, will in nc
way supply the demand. The daily is
sue will average about 100, 600 pieces.
If the local demand is not too strong, q
lot of them will be shipped to New York
and other cities. Everybody seems
pleased with the new coin. The princi-
pal criticism relates to the absence OF
the word scents from the piece. where
by an unsophisticated stranger is left tc
infer whether the Nv" stands for five
cents or s.. Some PERSONS comment
upon the absence of the legend: "In

old coin. During the month of Janu-

Hints Concerning Clover.

Clover is sown. as rule. early in the
spring. whether with some grain crop.
the cultivated grasses or as a crop by
itself. A practice common in the North
ern States is to SOW clover on late SHOWS
in March or April.
The analysis of red clover indicates
what manures will increase its growth.
1t contains from thirty-two to thirty
four per cent. of lime and about the
same per cent. of potash, with nine to
ten per cent. of phosphoric acid. mag
nesia. etc. As lime enters so largely
into its composition, lands deficient in
this respect require generous applica-
tons of lime. Deficient soils are also
benefited by gypsum (sulphate of lime),
the phosphates and wood-ashes. COM
mon stable manure, containing as it
does all the elements OF good fertilizer.
is also suitable as top dressing for any
pasture or meadow.
While gypsum is not always success
on ordinary soils. sown broadcast at the
rate of one to three hundred bushes
after the leaves are developed, it seldom
fails to promote remarkable growth Of
stem and leaves. Experiments made
by DR. Pincus, of Germany, regarding
the action of gypsum on clover made it
appear that the sulphates check the de-
velopment OF the flowers and also of the
seed, from which he inferred that. while
the aRpx alton of gypsum is favorable
to a large increase in the yield of hav.
it is not favorable to the development
OF the seed crop Comm ssioner kille-
brew. of Tennessee, says he has rarely
found benefit from the top dressing Of
gypsum on clayey loans; its effects have
always been apparent on strong lime
stone soil. In dry season gypsum is
undoubtedly beneficial on all soils. and
it always serves a good end n it's high
ly stimulating effects on well-restored
lands where there is a good coat of
clover.
Bones are also an invaluable aid to
clovers, their leading elements being
lime and phosphoric acid; nitrogen Is
also abundant. A dressing of bone
dust will often quite restore old pastures
which have been long cropped and the
phosphate of lime exhausted. Grasses
are greatly benefited by wood ashes A
top-dressing of ashes may be applied 10
grass on all kinds of soil with the assur-
ance that they will pay the expense at
tending the application For perma-
nent moving lands ashes are advised
when they can be obtained in sufficient
quantity.
Prof. Levi Stockbridge, of Massaehu-
sets, after series of experiments with
mineral manures at the Agricultural
College at Amherst, prepared the fol-
lowing formula for fertilizer to be
sownon clover-broadcast-in the early
spring to induce an increased yield:
Nitrogen, 43pounds; potash. 40 pounds.
and phosphoric acid IL pounds, These
materials he advised to be supplied In
the form of s,ilphate of ammonia. "a

super phosphates, so pounds This
amount was designed for one acre.E4s

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Twas December evening,
The moon was shining bright;
The bare-boughed e ms and NAPLES
Were quivering in its light;
The lonesome country turnpike
Lay sparkling white with snow
harnessed Jerry in the pung,
Just fifty years ago.
He logged along sedately,
The bells made silvery chime;
And to their merry jingle
My throbbing heart kept time;
Sweet Mollie Lee was waiting,
Her shy face all aglow;
tucked her in and of we sped,
Just fifty years sgo.
She was farmers daughter,
Our willing hands o 'ortune.
For riches we had none.
And on this frosty evening,
While Jerrys steps Jagged slow.
told the old, old story DER,
just fifty years ago.
And now our prancing chestnuts
Pace through the city street,
With coachnian and with footman
In livery complete.
Ny Moilie sits beside me,
Her nut-brown curlS are snow:
But ahi her heart is warm and true
As fifty years ago.
But when the wintry landscape
Lies buried i'm moonlight's calm,
1dream see it cleaning
Ger Maple Hollow Farm,
And long, once more a piowboy,
Where mountain breeZes blow,
To drive old Jerry in the pung,
AS fifty years ago.

A Brave Woman.

Friday night, January II. was com.

in comfortable chars beside glowing
CRATES as dreadful one for person to
be out. a genuine blizzard being in
session. and the mercury fluctuating at
from fifteen to twenty degrees below
zero. Little did the good people of this
neighborhOod dream that one OF the
most loved members of their circle was
out in that tedious storm, on the prai-
RE, and lost. Such. however. was the
fact. While the members of her own
household and her many fir ends here

and comfortable lodgings, perfectly I'M

she having become lost while returning
from near neighbours home at about
4:30 in the afternoon.
Her horse, it seems, went astray from
the road when within few rods of her
own house, and in wandering about
overturned the cutter and its brave
occupant six times before she gave up
as lost. Though her entire raiment be-
low the waist was drenching wet from
the drifting snow she had been founder
ing in. Mrs. Barnard, with coolness and
courage, set about saving herself.
Throwing her blankets on the snow. she
covered herself with the robes. and be-
gan rubbing her wet and chilled limbs,
first freeing them from the frozen skirts.
Soon the winds OF heaven covered her
with snow. thus providing her a cover
ing that assisted her in keeping from
freezing.
For fourteen terrible hours this cour-
ageous woman fought the elements,an3
to-day is able to be about as usual, her
two little fingers being the only parts
frozen, and having recovered from the
nervous prostration the fear ul ordeal
brought upon her. Within a short dis
lance of her home. she made her way
thither at daybreak. to astound a loving
family who supposed she had passeda
pleasant night at Mr. WasEburne's.
Grief and Joy commingled in more than
one household that Saturday as the
story of Mrs. Barnards suffering went

Not one man in fifty. and not one
woman in thousand. could come out
of similar situation as little frozen
