EDITORIAL NOTES.

We are glad to see the people taking such
schools. Our columns are open to communf
cations of reasonable length.
Springfield, Massachusetts,, has 1853 rum
shops, and many of the people of that thirty,
ing village think that it is disgraceful that
there are SO many. And they are not fa1
from right. Springfield does not need 1853
rumshops.
Congressman P A Collins, of Massaehu-
setts, heartily defends the appointment OF
Pillsbury, and in consequence has got him
self heartily disliked by the Massachusetts,
mugwumps, who are discovering that the tail
cannot wag the dog.
Superintendent Dutton has announced
that he doesn't pay much attention to what
he sees in the newspapers, and has seated
himself upon rather lofty perch. But we
kindly warn him that the people can reach
him when they want him.
There are more unpleasant places to live
in than South Carolina is just now. 1t is
strawberry picking time there. The straw
berry fields around Charleston cover areas of
from five to ten acres each. AS many as five
thousand baskets of the b1ushing fruit are
sometimes shipped on one New York boat.
Perhaps the general impression is that the
people of the South are harder drinkers than
the people of the North, but there is some
evidence that they are not. While Minnesota
has over 200 saloons, Mississippi with about
the same population has only $50. California
has 1850 saloons, and Arkansas with the
same population 1,344. Ohio has Is, 800
saloons, and Old Bourbon Kentucky only
9,369.
At a recent sale in London historical wax
taper sold for thirty dollars. It was declared
to be the identical one carried in penance by
Henry II. to the shrine of Thomas Beckett in
Canterbury cathedral. 1t was found in the
year 1773 in the shrine and by some means
was obtained by DR.. Menish, of Chelmsford,
in whose museum it remained for many
years, until it passed into the hands of the
late owner. Whether it is the identical ta-
per may be question, but it is remarkable
that it should bear the arms of England en-
bossed upon it.
The woman's silk culture association of
Illinois urges city and town authorities to
promote the planting of white mulberry
trees in public grounds. These &rees are
said to be very ornamental, and the wood is
useful for commercial purposes. It is equal
to oak for making barrel slaves and cabinet
makers use it to good advantage. The leaves
could be sold or given to persons wishing to

Fertilizing.

dressing of phosphate, at the rate
of 200 pounds TO the acre, will Oft
en- increase the yield the first sea
son enough to pay the cost Of its
application. Wood ashes, at the
rate OF ten OF fifteen bushels to the
acre, will produce equally good re-
suits upon some soils, particularly
such as need potash, and upon
others plaster gives large increase
of the crop, but more particularly
of the clover crop.
The result obtained from plaster
differs greatly upon different soils,
and no rule can be given ordeterln-
ming where it will do we'll ana
where it will not, yet, as a ton
(enough to top dress ten acres) can
be bought for $3.50, and in many
locations for much less, and as 1t
can do no injury when used to that
extent, each farmer could try for
himself whether its use will bC
profitable to HIM or not.
All topdressing of grass land ex-
cept such as may he done with the
nitrates orammoniacal salt, should
be accomplished as early in the
spring as the grass begins to start
or even before that time, but not
while the ground is frozen. Nit

A Square Hole.

The first and only anger ever
manufactured that will borea square
hole is now in the shops of the
Cleveland Machine Company.
THIS anger bores two-inch square
hole, the size used in ordinary frame
buildings and barns, but they can
be made on the same principle to
bore square holes of any size. Its
application is ordinary aid works
on the same principle as round hole
augers. Its end, instead ofhaving
a screw or bit, has a cam motion
which oscillates a cutter mounted
on steel rocking knife, which cuts
on both sides. In order to prevent
the splintering of the wood the ends
of the cutter are provided with
small semi.circular shaped saws
which help in cutting out perfectly
square corners. 1t is estimated
that this new process will save the
labor of three men who work with
chisels, as one man can CONVENIENT
lY cut twOinch mortice in the
same length OF time he can bore a
round hole. The invention is the
work of a Worcester man, who,has
given the subject years Of patient
thought.

What is an Old Maid.

Never be afraid OF becoming an

agree with the said song on this

hold that it is good thing to fall

ter entered the parlor, and found
himself "vis avis" to a young lady

Nor was Claude less surprised
to find that the fair authoress was
his former friend and "fiance," Lucy
Blake. She met him frankly, and
he was to pleased to sec her rain,
especially under snch circumstan
ces, to be unforgiving. Mutual ex.

the worthy publisher, at whose
house she was stopping, was so, n
let into the secret of their former
Intimacy.

but did what I considered my duty
and yielded to my fathers judg-
ment."
"You say You loved me, Lucy.

She made ne reply, but only

his heart, and loved and priced
more than in times of yore, in his

later in the season.
The profits of buying fertilizers
for topdressing grass lands de-
ponds very much upon the cost of
breakingup and reseeding the land,
and the objections which there
may be to doing so. Fields have
been kept in grass many years by
such topdrcssing about one year in
three or four, and have paid fair
interest OH cost of land and fertili-
Ter; but not every field will do this,
and where land can be broken up
and reseeded without more expense
than the usual cost of such work,
1t will usually pay best to let it go
until the fall, and then do the work
thoroughly.-New York Herald.
