OF the action of clover when plowed

spondent of the Country Gentleman
says: Glover is not manure, but by
it's growth, and especially by it's de-
cay, it renders soluble for plant-food
matters which, without it's aid, might
remain insoluble, thus indirectly anne
liorating the constitution of the soil
on which it acts. Any vegetable
growth, green or dry, buried in the
earth, alters something of the inor-
ganic matters with which it comes in
contact in decaying and to that ex-
tent slowly improves by increasing
solubility. But it does add some
thing, inasmuch as it provides an as
similator for atmospheric nitrogen"

who was murdered by the insubordi-
nate crew of his ship. After that
event, on stormy nights, his wife and
daughter used to be disturbed by
sounds of creaking cordage, Tapping
sails, clanking chains, and other nau-
tical sounds, which seemed to come
from the garnet. Above all the rest
of the noise and turmoil, whoever was
down stairs could hear angry voices,
groans and cries for help. A great
many people used to gather at the
house on stormy nights to hear the
unaccountable and alarming racket in
the garnet, but no one had ever the
courage to open the garnet door and
try to solve the mystery on such oc-
casions. At length the widow and
daughter abandoned the house, the
windows and doors of which were then
boarded up. All this took place fifty
years ago, and but few of those who
have seen the ruined house know its
singular history. A few days ago q
Mrs. Nelius, a granddaughter of the
old captain, received q letter from q
sailor from South American port,
who says that he was on the ship
with her grandfather on the night that
he was killed. He says the captain
wanted him to go Egremont and tell
hts wife and daughter that he had
been murdered, and that enough mon
ey was buried in one corner of the eel
lar to keep them in comfort all the
rest of their lives. The sailor went to
Egremont, but resolved to have the
money in the cellar for himself By
an ingenious arrangement of chains
and other available material, he origi-
mated and kept up the supposed su-
pernatural tumult, which had driven
the captains daughter and widow
from their home. He then made a
successful search in the cellar for the
money, which he took with him to
Peru. Remorse and the probability
of his immediate death induced him to
write this letter of explanation to
Mrs. MeliuS.

Presidents Warnings.
IRON Harper's Bazaar


1t has been asserted by some curious
observers that the in augural ceremon-
les of each of the four presidents
Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln, and Gar
field-with whom death, an unseen
and unbidden guest, entered the white
house, were warned by signs and
omens, that interpreted by supernat-
ural lore, foreshadowed to the igno-
rant and superstitious the funeral
pageantry in which they would ere
long be central figures.
Gen. Harrison arrived at Washing
ton in the midst ola driving thunder
storm, and as he descended from his
carriage a flash of lightning blinded
him and caused him to miss a step
and fall. The first night he slept at
the white house an owl perched on the
roof over his bedroom, hooted contin-
uously, and he complained the next
morning that the owl and a bowling
dog near had kept him awake.
When Mrs Taylor was told of her
husbands election she burst into tears
and exclaimed: ooh, why can't they
let us alone? This is all q scheme to
break up our home" When she en-
tered her bedroom at the white house
she started back, and pointing to q
diamond-shaped ornament carved on
the mantal, said "Seel the first object
to greet me is coffin. Death will
rob me in this dreadful house of some
one | love-"
To Mr.. Lincoln there came an appa-
rition, thus described by him: Ion
the evening of the day when / received
news Of my election, worn out by ex-
element and fatigue, | threw myself
on q lounge in my bed room to rest.
Just opposite to me was q bureau
with a swinging glass, and looking in
it, noticed two separate and distinct
images of myself A little bothered,
perhaps startled, got up and went
to the glass, but the illusion vanished.
Lying down, saw again, but noticed
that one of the faces was paler than
the other, and had a blood stain on it.
When my wife came in [ told her of
the vision, and she, who had great
faith in signs, and generally attached
some meaning to them, said: 1T
means you will be elected to a second
term, but will not live through it,"
On their trip from Springfield to
Washington they passed by Gen. Har-
rison's burial-place, and halted to pay
a tribute of respect to his memory.
Turning from the grave, blackbird
made a circle round his head The
night of his assassination Mrs Lincoln
told one of the watchers that on that
eventful trip through the bright, happy
northern villages decked with flowers,
In his honor, as well as that mystic
rious night ride through Baltimore and
secret arrival in Washington, the
tolling of a death-bell, clear and I'M
mistakable, was sounding in her ear.
The dreams and forebodings of the.
two Mrs Garfield, mother and wife,
are too recent to be repeated. We're
they the idle fancies of nervous wom-

Russian Illitcracy.

[From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle I
All that can be said about educa-
ton in very large portion of Russia
is that it does not exist. There is no
national provision for the teaching of
the masses in the rural districts, and,
though municipal authorities in towns
have the power to establish schools,
they have hitherto exercised it very
sparingly. Towns, however, in the
sense in which the word is understood
in America, are hardly to be found in
the donrinions of the Gar. The two
capitals stand apart, of course; be-
sides these there is not single city in
the whole of Russia which would be
deemed a large town in America. Only
twenty have population exceeding
$4,000, and only $50 count more
than 10, 900 inhabitants. Not more
than onein eight fthe so, 600, OOOwho
make up the subjects of Alexander III.

naming seven-eighths ofthepeople are

tics

An Incongruous Empire.

The union of Germany will never be
complete until the whole of the empire
become subject to one code of laws.
1t is almost impossible to say how
many codes are now inforce In various
parts of the country. In Bavaria
alone there are no less than seven diff
ferent Jurisdictions OF the 3, 1915, 900
inhabitants of the kingdom about g.
10000 are subject to the Bavarian
code; 641,OOO to the code Napoleon,
which is the law of the Palatinate;
45O,OO0to the code of the bishropic of
Wurzburg; 321, 900 to the code of the
principality of Bayreuth; $500 to the
Austrian code, which is in force at
Redwilz; 200 to the Solms statutes,
and 100 to the code of Coburg The
country must be paradise for lawyers.

The Roller Skate Trade.
FFrom the Iron Trade Review.


Theroller rink craze has, as might ma
turally be inferred, amazingly stimulat-
ed the manufacture ofroller skates. It
is estimated that from 400 to 500 in
dividuals- or firms throughout the
country are at present engaged in this
line of manufacture, and that not less
than 100000 pairs Of skates are
turned out monthly. Connecticut and
Massachusetts are large producing
eenters and a busy hive of manufacto-
ries is to be found in and around
Richmond and Muncie, Ind. tits said
that Richmond alone has eighteen
manufactures, furnishing one-third
the product of the United States. One
mandatory alone has capacity of
LOO pairs per day and is 1000
pairs behind orders. The machinery
is very complete and expensive, stamp
ing out every part of the skate, and
reducing the original cost very ma
terially. The great aim OF manufact-
urers is to produce a skate that will
turn in the shortest space.

UNDINE.
BY G. H. s.

Through the corridors of crystal,
Unmoved by the zigzaI flame,
IN q shower of beautiful rain-drops,
With love to me she came.
She seemed like q misty spirit
As she stood before my sight,
And | thought of the dainty dew drops
That sprinkle the fields of night.
Her hair was as soft as sea-foam,
Her lips like those of a shell,
And the light of the starry heavens
Seemed in her eyes to dwell.
When she spake or sang, the fountains
Mixed with her words their spray;
When she sighed, the brooks and rivers
Flowed silently far away.
Now tell me, We tongues of wisdom,
Interpret this love of mine
O. was she a wave of nature,
Or was she wave-diyine?
know that she came and vanished
Forever from mortal sight,
Into air. like q silent spirit,
Or dew like a lovely Sprlte.

My intention to 60 South was in no way

AMATEUR LEGISLATION.

Mayor O'BRIEN's letter to the city council
relating to the redistricting scheme now be-
fore the legislature is square-toed docu-
ment. He calls the attention of the body to
the danger of ''amateur legislation" and
very forcibly points out the danger to i'm
portant public interests in the event the re-
districting bill is passed. The board of pub
lie works and the board of education would
be ''knocked out'' if the bill which passed
the lower branch. of the legislature should be
adopted in its present crude form, and all
the assessments for the next two years inval-
idated. The mayor very truthfully says that
the city charter is too complicated and vol
luminous to be made the subject of amateur
legislation. There can be no disagreement
with the mayor in his proposition that every
amendment to the city charter should be con-
sidered by the council and the law Off
GERS of the city before being submitted to the
legislature for its action. This is evidently so
common-sense view of it that even the advo-

APRoPos to the great event of to-day the
Atlanta Constitution says
at may be well said that the party that has
descended from the rugged greatness of LINCOLN
to the gentlemanly department of ARTHUR is
typical of the decadence of the Republicans
from the lean and smewy war party Of '61 to
the pampered coalition Of s4, and that II
deserved the defeat 1t courted in these latter
days the victory it conquered in those earlier
days"
Mr.. LINCOLN was the most typical Ameri-
can president this country has ever had. His
rugged greatness made him the central
figure Of the troublous times he was presi-
dent Next to LINCOLN Mr.. CLEVELAND has
before him the greatest task any president
ever assumed, and before he gets through the
laborious work of administrative reform he
may feel as Mr.. LINCOLN once expressed his
feelings, when he said;
MANY time have been forced upon my
knees by the overwhelming conviction that had
nowhere else to go. Ny own wisdom and that
OF all about me seemed so insufficient to the
OCCASION
Or when asked If vacation of few days
had rested him:
swell, yes, feel better But somehow it
don't appear to touch the tired spot which /
suppose can't be got at" Discussing the duties
of his Office, he said: "Sitting here where all
the avenues of public patronage seem to come
together in knot it does seem to me that our
people are fast approaching the point where
seven-eighths of them are trying to live at the
expense of the other eighth. "

but was reported on adversely by the finance

bad that bill receiving unanimous support
in one branch of the Legislature, the purpose
OF which is to place the state in an advanta-
geous light in foreign countries, should have
been thus defeated. The sending abroad of
small descriptive pamphlet, to which the
board has hitherto been compelled to resort,
is not likely to receive the attention and re-
spect of the most desirable class of emigrants,
while the revised edition of the illustrated
pamphlet would not only attract attention
generally, but would convey to the minds of
those who have capital to invest clear i'm
preston of the resources of the state; and
will be far more iudicious expenditure of
money. 1t will hardly be disputed that many
people who have resided several years in the
