James Chambers, of Calvary Presbyterian Church,

American Enterprise.
No invention of the nineteenth century
has worked a greater revolution in house.
hold economy or conferred more of a bene-
fit on humanity than the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude and
uncouth in the extreme, and it was re-
served for American skill and ingenuity
to bring forth a machine Of any practical
value.
In order to appreciate the great ad-
vancement which has taken place it is
only necessary to compare one Of the ma
chimes built during the infancy of the in
vention with one of the latest improved
"Light-Running New Home"
All the really good points contained in
other machines have been utilized in its
construction. Many new improvements
and devices have also been added, the re-
suit of which is a machine as nearly per.
feet as 1t is possible to make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease of man
agement and capacity for work, the
"Light- Running New Home" has no
rival, and the happy possessor of one may
rest assured that he or she has the very
best the world affords.

Many famous funerals have taken place
In New York in the past. Soldiers, states
men, scholars, churchmen, business men,
been buried with more or less lavish
rites in that metropolis. In point of no.
toriety, both as relates to the number and
character of these In attendance, the fu-
neral of Jim Elliott, the dead bruiser who
was buried on Sunday week, will take no
back seat for any of the noted funerals of
that city. 1t is safe to say that no such
crowd ever appeared at funeral in that
city before. Many Of the number were
rogues whose portraits grace the select
gallery, and many of whom will probably
meet the fate of the man they met to bury

Comparatively few people know the
reason for the remarkable changes in the
date of Easter from year to year. 1t Is
simple enough when Invested of scientific
language. Find the date OF the spring
equinoctial, or when "the sun crosses the
line," as 1t is Familiarity known, which is
always about March Goth. Then find the
date Of the next full moon, and tho Sun
day after that full moon is Easter Sunday,
Last year that full moon came on Mon
day, April Sd, consequently Sunday,
April 0, was Easter Sunday. This year
the full moon is on March esd, therefore
Sunday, March 25th, is Easter. It is only
possible for it to come two days earlier,
and it has not been so early before since
1742 and will not be again until 1894, and
then 1851. So that it is remarkable
event this year.

Advertising--that is. in papers known
to have large circulations-pays, or smart
business men in the cities would not pay
such prices for it as the following The
Chicago Tribune, for column year, re-
ceives $4,000. The New York Herald
receives for its lowest price column, $50, :
1923, and for its highest $348, 900. The
New York Tribune for it's lowest 500 ,764,
and for its highest $85, GAS. A sagacious,
far-seeing merchant never dreams of do
ing business without the aid of printers
ink. He never runs the chances of such
plan. Knowing to a certainty that ad-
vertising pays, he only sees that his ad-
vertisement gets into Journals Of acknow.
lodged circulation and influence, and then
calmly awaits the returns he knows are
sure ,--Irenton Tines.

The most recent example of the work
ing of high license system for barre
is in Bloomington, Ill. There are thirty
two saloons in the place, and popula-
ton of nearly 10000. The fee is $50 a
month, or 5000 a year, and this brings
into the city $4,000 year, or nearly
one third the whole revenue. The saloons
are,said TO be orderly and generally in
the hands of substantial men, who own
the buildings in which they are kept,
and who would stubbornly resist return
to low license. The present arrangement
has prevailed noarly twenty years, and Is,
therefore, no longer an experiment.

The City Treasurer's annual report
will be published next week. 1t will show
a gratifying decrease of the city debt, and
practical wiping out of the indebted
ness of the city. Some fifteen years ago,
the city debt, principally bounty bonds,
was over sixty thousand dollars. Under
Democratic Councils the debt rather in
creased than diminished, and it was not
until the Republicans got in power that
there was any decided and systematic eff
fort made to reduce the debt. The wip-
Ing out of this debt of sixty thousand dol
lars in from ten to twelve years has princi.
pally been the work of the Republicans in
council. No persons know better than
our Democratic friends that as a rule the
Republicans in council have shown far bet
ter financial management than have the
Democrats. This being the case, would
it not be the part of wisdom to put the
Republicans again in charge of the city s
interests at the coming city election?

On Tuesday afternoon and evening,
March 10, quite number of the members
of the Berean Baptist Church congrega-
ton and Sabbath School, at Stockton,
made the pastor, A. Cauldwell, sociai
visit at the parsonage. A very pleasant
and agreeable season was enjoyed by both
pastor and people. The occasion was
greatly enlivened by the genial presence
of Rev. c. s. Conkling, who on the be +
half of the donors, presented the pastor
with we'll filled purse and other money,
and his wife with splendid pair of gold
spectacles. May Gods rich blessing be
the portion of both pastor and people.

4 Fine Monument.

A Fine Monument.
A very handsome monument has just
been erected in Mount Hope Cemetery, in
this city, to tho memory of the late DIR.
Theodore H. Studdiford. 1t is the produc-
ton of Mr.. L. L. Miller, of this city, and
in design and execution is creditable to
his artistic taste and mechanical ability.
No better work then this can be secured
in the more pretentious establishments In
the cities. The monument is built OF
Barre {Vt.) granite, with base three feet
ten inches square, and eighteen inches
high. The second base is two feet ten
inches square and fourteen inches high.
On this the name Studdiford " ap-
pears in raised capitals, standing out in
bold relief. This base is surmounted by a
solid shaft two feet square, and three and
a half feet high. The four panels on
this block are beautifully polished. This
shaft is surmounted by cap two feet six
inches square and twenty-five inches
high-the total height of the monument
being eight feet.
On the side fronting the doctors grave
appears the following inscription
"IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE
THEODORE III. STUDDIFORD, NJ. u.
Born JANUARY II, 1872.
DIED APRIL Is, 1882.
" Jesus said unto her. am the resurrection, and

Is, the price Of which We quote on the second
page under the head OF FERTILIZERS" Il isl
rock formed chiefly from the teeth and bones
of antediluvian reptiles and fishes, and con.
tanning phosphate of lime. 1t is found in va
rious parts of South Carolina, and especially
on the Ashley, Cooper and Bull rivers on the
Ottawa river, near Buckingham, in Canada
IL spain, and in various South American
countries, These deposits are the remains of
prehistoric animals from which, in the prog
ress of time all the animal matter has been
eliminated, so that now only the bones solidi-
fed in the form of rock are left
In South Carolina, on the rivers above
mentioned, these deposits are extensive, and
from these sections chiefly the manufacturers
Of artificial American fertilizers obtain the
rock which they mix with various other arti-
Giles in the formation Of fertilizers. Before
mixing, however, the rock is washed and
dried, then ground into powder and treated
with sulphuric acid to dissolve it. This in
wolves considerable expense and time, but
these phosphates are cheaper than natural
bone, and are said to contain about the same
amount of phosphorus.

NOTES.

\ California letter says healthy tendency
in agriculture in that state is shown by the
movement to split up vast Mexican ranches in
the southern part of the state and parcel them
out to small farmers. few days ago the al
most royal domain OF e1-Gov Pic Pico, near
Los Angeles, deriyed from an old Spanish
grant was sold for $50 600 and will be d.
vided into small ranches.
1t is said to be a reliable way to tell the
weather by observing the common American
white pine @Pinus Strobusl II We are to ex-
pect rain OF snow within a reasonably short
time, the branches Of the last two seasons
growth will be pendulous II such weather
be long WAY of, the branches will be raised
rather than dropping.
The first two or three days after putting
horses TO farm work in the Spring. the team
should be rested frequently, and the collars
eased from the shoulders TO admit air lit.
tie care at the beginning in preventing CALLED
shoulders will save many valuable days work
during the season.
The two new varieties of field corn Cross
leys Ohio and Blounts Prolific were tested
in various places last season. They showed
much tendency to throw out 'ear shoots and
TO produce rather small ears and large stalks.
They seem TO mature too late for tine most
northern states.
With clover seed at SO to S1l per bushel,
no farmer can afford to pasture it the frst
season. Neither can he afford TO forego any
possible means to make the clover catch q
success. Dragging wheat before sowing the
clover will generally insure this and is also an
advantage to the grain crop.
The bee has long been the type of industry,
but few people know how much labor the
sweet hoard of the hive represents. Each
head Of clover contains about 60 distinct flow
er tubes, each of which contains an atom of
sugar not exceeding the five-hundredth part
of grain. The proboscis of the bee must
therefore be inserted into 800 clover tubes be-
fore one grain Of sugar can be obtained.
There are 1000 grains in pound and, since
honey contains three-fourths Of its weight of
dry sugar, every pound of honey represents
., 500, 900 clover-tubes sucked by bees.
