Homemade Fertilizers.

Quite a saving may be effected by COM
stng articles suitable for serving as
sorbents with manure. Grass that has
BEN raked up, leaves, waste straw and
aks especially if the latter are made
be, all serve a useful purpose. Perhaps
be greatest waste is in not properly alb
rbing the liquids and in neglecting to
h ssOlye the bones. The method practiced
those who wish TO dissolve bones
lickly is to use 40 pounds of sulphuric
id with 100 pounds of bones. A few
bards are nailed together in the same
amer as If making frame for mortar
d. The bones are crushed as fine as pos
b Bile, but if this cannot be done they may
used when broken in pieces the size of
alnuts. The bones are spread on the
10 tom Of the box or mOrtar-bed, and
oIstened lightly but thoroughly with

Fpose Of avoiding accidents, but also to

The acid attacks the bones, which are

bottom of a piney woods valley across
which logs had been thrown to catch the
wash from the adjacent higher lands.
There was a log imbedded in the soil
across the bottom OF the narrow valley

The Trial I'm France of Man who Cut His
Victim Up and Threw the Sections In

A sensational trial, bristling with truly
Borgian enormities, began Wednesday In the
Assize court Of the Seine, Paris. An exotic
individual named Mielie, alias L'Homme,
alias La Crosse Mana, was tried for the MUIR

Lebon.

then opened the door OF his apartment, and
with pleasant smile, aaid MY dear friend,

are all liable to such .quarrels, and mine is

The policeman was satisfied and retired.
Soon afterward Mime. Mielle entered the
room and seeing her husband covered with
blood and his shirt torn to shreds, asked,

for several hours. Mielle then disappeared.
A long black trunk was also removed from
his rooms at the same time.
