Mr.. L. F. BAKER said in a meeting
Of the New Jersey Horticultural Society
that by enriching the soil and deepen
ing it, in connection with subsoiling,
the receipts of his farm increased from
81, $50 to 81, 800 for one years sales
alone, besides what was consumed at
home. His high inanuring and thorough
tillage enabled him to produce crops
from one to two weeks earlier than
others, which, with their good quality,
brought high prices. He applies ferti-
lizers at the rate Of one or one and a
half tons per acre for garden crops IN
spring This seems a large quantity,
but it is less than an ounce to the
square foot. By the time the market
is overstocked with any crop his early
supply is usually harvested and he Is
ready for another crop, the one manur-
ing answering for both.

Continued from last week.)
CHAPTER XVII.
Somebody's shoe-Lining,


This was said under the stress Of strong
emotion, for just then Rosette and the
man servant who had been sent with her,
returned carrying the silk sole-lining and
an armful of shoes, which were laid ON
the coroner's table.
Considerable excitement prevailed
whilst they we're being examined, and
when the lining was found to fit an en-
broidered bedroom slipper belonging to
Sastri, the fellow of which was produced,
the coroner could hardly maintain or
der.
The piece of silk sole lining, which was
good deal discolored, and had probably
adhered to the foot in u state of perspira-
ton, was handed from juror to Juror,
though Sastri's lawyer protested that 1t
in no way affected tho case, ns it was
found in O room where no murder had
taken place, but where his client had
been with the Count on the day before
the crime was committed.
In pursuance Of this, Frank Foljambe
inquired if Prince Sastri wore bedroom
shoes in the middle of the day?-and
though no certainty could be arrived at IN
the matter, it was evident that An impress
sion had been made preiudicial to the
Prince.
The last witness was listened to with
great interest, for he was the only person
who had come into actual contact with
the Countess on the night OF the murder.
It was Bathurst, the coachman.
He was good deal put about as he
expressed it-poor old man but he was
not afraid to state his strong conviction

Rev. Lewis O. srastoyv. ID. ID,

pastor of the Wnooski avenue Congregation
al church, expressed his views briefly as fol-
lows;
"Therc is no doubt as to the increase of
divorces. The causes are various. | should
say one cause is the extreme development of
the theories of individualsm which have re-
suited in a loose public sentiment. That has
made itself manifest in lax legislation and
loose divorce laws. 1t also appears in the lax
decisions of the judges aud the influence of
the lawyers. should say the divorce laws
were badly applied
''As regards the remedy, there has got to
be change in public sentiment and the pub
lie estimate Of the marriage relation and
that has got TO come about by a change in
the moral and religious estimate of the FAM
lily. | should further say that some change
would be necessary in our habits of life; our
fast American life should be modified in
order to secure a change in the family rela-
lion. | think there should be national legis-
latiOn OF such sort as will secure uniform
divorce laws. The aSsignable grounds Of di-
vDrce should be restricted, They are not
sufficiently restricted now"

II think that lax legislation has been the

legislatures have so acted through decay in
the popular reverence Tor marriage II is a
quasi sacramental institution. The church

| sacraments, but our church does not consider
it a sacrament in the same sense in which
Baptism and the Holy Supper are sacra-
mcnts, but for all that it is sacramcntal in
| its nature. The estate is called the Holy
Estate of Matrimony.
"Our people have come to regard marriage

and they consider that it can be dissolved by
going through certain foImalitic5 the same rs

in its very essence is indissoublc. The
