A Society Woman's Ambition.
New York Sum-

An American woman dearly loves a lord, and although lords are so plentiful in this country now as to have lost all the glamour which formerly hung about them, yet to bring them to their houses and see them seated at their tables is the crowning ambition of the average society woman of the present day, an ambition so easily gratifed that one wonders why it has not long since died a natural death.

OPPOSED TO A SHORT Sea
SION.

The Virginia Chronicle discour
ages the idea Of short session O.
the Legislature. 1t says the prop
osition to adjourn in three weeks
:" is worse than asking a man who
has signed a contract to run tun.
mel LOG feet in sixty days to vnlun.
tariIy offer to bind himself to com
p''tn his contract ia twentv-one
days. A better illustration would
b. that Of number Of men taking
si~tr favs to run 100 feet IF tunnel
which they could easily. and with
out half-working. finish in twenty
one. The Chronicle further re-
marks: The law fixes the "a j.
mum period If sixty days, and it
be- f~o""""tlv hammered that at
the expiration of that period much
lnr ..ianL business either remained
unfioish"d. or was rushed through
In a more hasty than beneficial
manner. And so it would b. if
t." e"seirn was lrnrth"ned to one
hundred and sixty DAYS. At the
enu Of that time there would be
the amount Of unfinished business
and hasty legislation. l.. Fact. the
business Of all previous sessions
has been in better shape for adj
jOnrnment at the end If th,ee
weeks. than at the expiration #
the constitutional limit - S;xty
days. With the exception of elect

gents ; the passage # general

mcnt or reject on # four or five I'M
Important Constitutional amend |
ments adopted by the last Legisla-
ture, there is Nothing whatever tod
be done. Of course tic members
can put in their time in the con-
Of frivolous bills and
resolutions, and can draw their
eight dollars per day for the entire
sixty days. but so far as the inter
est ct Commonwealth is concerned.
they would further it more effectu-
ally by dispensing to their several

sa v business IS transacted, for the

a Bride Well Bound.

Inere were twenty-seven marriage
certificates signed at the ratification of
the civil contract in advance of the
religious marriage ceremony between
Miss Hattie Key and Capt. Jean Leon
Reynerd, of the French army, which oc-
Cured recently IN Georgetown, ID. c.
The groom, whose mother, by the way,
Is an American lady, seemed as if he
could not make the bond secure enough
or shower enough presents on his pretty
American bride. A few days previous tc
the wedding be shocked her by asking
If she would let him have one of her
stockings, and in apoloeizing for his
boldness when she seemed startled at the
request, added that he wished to put
her Christmas gift in it. AS she de-
chned to give him one, when he came
TO ratlfy the civil contract he brought
her long silk stocking filled with
small gold pieces. He also gave her a
pair OF solitaire diamond earrings and
gold band for the front of her head, on
which are set rosettes of diamonds.
This be put on himself after she was
dressed TO be married. The officers of
the United States army and navy invited
to the wedding, out of compliment to
Capt. Reynard, who was married in his
uniform, wore theirs On that occasion.
Capt. Reynard had never visited this
country or seen his American relatives
until he came here to be married. He
and his bride will spend Christmas with
her parents IN Georgetown, u. c., and
viii sail for Europe January I'd. She
has several near relatives, whose hus-
bands are foreigners who realdn in Paris

Out of some hundreds of newspapers
that have commented upon the verdict
in the Dwight life insurance case, lately
tried at Norwich, but two New York
City corporation organs nave said any
thing favorable to the companies. Be
yond the facts that Colonel Dwight had
q large amount of insurance-S150, 600
ON his life, and that he died soon al
ter securing it, there seems to have been
no ground for suspicion about his death !;
yet with two honorable exceptions the
insurance companies resisted payment
and compelled the widow to bring suit,
which WIGS STAYED off term after tenn
until delays conld no longer be forced.
Then the jury gave verdict in test
case. But it is announced that an APP
peal will be taken, and If this is done it
may be years before the widow gets
what she is entitled to-thougiI that she
will never get, for d large part of it will
be eaten up in the costs. There is
nothing in cases of this kind to allay the
doubts of any one who is hesitatmg
about taking q life policy, for the readi
ness which the wealthy corporations dis
play in availipg themselves Of technical
defenses when called upon by the bene-
iciary, especially where large amounts
are involved, Is well enough known.
When life insurance companies resist
payment on substantial grounds. which
are sometimes afforded by an attempt to
practice fraud upon them. they are sus-
tanned by the press as universally as
they have been condemned where they
have, defended themselves on merely
technical pleas.

On Curing a Stubborn Horse.


a Leomlnster farmer recently broke
his horse of "balky" freak in a very
quiet, and, as he claims, not cruel man
ner. His horse is In excellent flesh and
shows no signs Of neglect on the part of
the master. He drove him, attached TO
A'ruck-wagon, to.the..wood lot for snail
load OF wood. The animal would NOT
pull pound. He did not beat him with
club, but tied him to tree and "let
him stand" He went to the lot at sun-
set and asked him to draw, but he would
not strengthen a tug. Il made m NV
mind, said the farmer, "that when Il al
horse went to the barn he would t.ke
that load OF wood. The nigh was not
cold. L went to the barn, got blankets
and covered the horse warmly. ,pd Le
stood until morning. Then he re. us "a

method, If rightly used, is far less cruel.

Concentrated Fertilizers.

Another years experience convinces
me more and more that all kinds of con-
centrated manure are OF most impor-
lance when used as barnyard manure.
lake any OF our succalent growing veg
etables, such as cabbage and celery, and
| do not think any of the commercial fer
tiIizers are sufficient in themselves to
carry crop of either to full maturity,
unless the ground for years before has
been heavily laid with well-rotted barn
yard manure, aud less exhaustive crops
grown than either cabbage or celery. A
good test we have had Of this the pres
ent season. During the early part OF it
we had abundance of ram, which slim
ulated everything into rampant growth;
the dry weather followed, and unless
heavy manuring of wel-decayed ma
nure was supplied in the spring, the
crops failed to fully mature, owing to
the lack of food to maintain the strong,
rampant growth which started in the
spring. The greatest strain on the soil
IS when the crops are maturing, and If
the supply is deficient at this time the
crops will not amount to much. Now,
If the stlmulaDt be some one of the many
fertilizers, aud used alone, the early
rains making them soluble creates
strong, rampant growth in the plants,
which require to maintain an abundant
supply OF food, which, however. by the
dry weather setting Id, stops the solu
bility OF the manure, and as conse-
quence the plants starve; at the time
they require the greatest amount of
food supply, they have the smallest. If
the ground, in addition to the supply of
concentrated fertilizers, has had a good
dressing of barnyard manure, which,
when the dry weather sets in, is not SO
soon affected and continues supplying
sufficient food to plants to bring them to
maturity, all will beright. For autumn
wheat and other fall-sowed crops which
come to maturity generally before the
dry weather sets In, any good brand of
fertilizer, possessed of the properties in
which the soil on which it is used is de-
fcient, Is enough of itself to raise and
mature heavy crop. but with such
crops as come to maturity during the
dry season, something else than phos-

Cultiyating Orchards

There continues to be considerable
difference OF opinion as to whether fruit
orchards should be cultivated or not.
We think, says the Germantown Tele.
graph, that the opinion of many expert
enced cultiVators, which has ALWAYS been
our own, and which, from time to time.
has been given IN our columns ought to
have weight. We think that young apple
or pear orchards can be cultivated with.
safety for two or three years after setting
out, and planted with the least exhaust
ing vegetables, especially lettuce, beets,
cabbages, cucumbers, tomatoes, canta-
leups, squashes, ETC., until the trees
reach from two and Il half to three inches
IN diameter, when the ground should be-
put III meadow grass and remain I'M
touched by the pillow ever after, all the
manure required being good top dress
ing every few years. We are firmly of
the opinion that when fruit trees arrive
at stage where they are able to take care
of themselves, they do decidedly better
in grass than anything else, and this
grass returns heavier crop Of hay than
timothy or clover, and is also excellent
for pasturage for both cattle or swine.
We have seen huad.oGs of pear and ap-
pie trees of choice varieties so situated
annually loaded with fruit and the trees
III healthy condition. We have still
upon our premises pear trees believed to
be over $50 years old, standing in sod
which has been disturbed only once in
fifty years, as we know, being in oul pos
session ever Thirty years-that annually
produce heavy crops, and three of them
are still in a thrifty condition. This
would seem to be pretty strong evidence
IN favor of the generalization of stand
ard pears.
