NOTWITHSTANDING the opposition of
Representative Hampton, of this district,
the bill appropriating money for the ss-
tablishment Of a Soldiers Home IN
Michigan has passed the House. Mr..
Hampton while candidate for Office
professed to be a great friend of the boys
in blue, but here was an opportunity to
manifest his friendship for them and
yet he opposed the movement He has
been trying to explain why no done so
and among his reasons are that lit was
cowardly scheme to defeat the Bounty
bill" and that it "wOuld create a new
gang of Office holders and saddle upon
the taxpayers an institution, which
would be more ornamental than useful

THE Secretary of the Interior has de-
cided that lands purchased by the
United States and transferred to the In
terror Department are to be regarded as
part of the public domain held in trust
for the people, and as on the same basis
of the lands acquired by cession. The
question arose from discussion of the
act of July 5, 1884, providing for the
transfer to the Interior Department of
certain lands formerly used as military
reservations. The Fort Sullivan mill
tary reservation in Maine was among
the transferred tracts, and as the United
States had never held any public lands
in Maine the Land Offiee authorities
wished to know the terms of the title by
which the land was held.

STABLE MANuRE

A Fertilizer That Contains All the Ele-
mcnts of Plant Nutrimeut.
1t is important that the farmer should
understand thoroughly the effect that
fertilizers have upoa the soil, and the
advantages Gf any that one kind pos
sesses over another. First it must be
understood that plants must contain
phosphoric acid, nitrogen, potash, lime,
magnesia, sesluioxide of iron, and sui
phuric acid, and therefore these must
be present in order to secure the healthy
nutrition of the plant. 1t is rather rare
that a soil IS found that is deficient in
lime, magnesia, sulphuric acid or iron,
but as stable manure is formed from the
growth of plants upon the farm, and
contains all the substances mentioned,
it appears that stable manure contains
aJ tie BUtrjHleRts for plants by which
they are nOurished, and hence is
perfect fertilizer of itself
Further than that, stable manure con
tains that organic substance which, by
its decomposition, creates in the soil
what is known as humus. which assists
largely in loosening the same, keeping
it moist and warm; stable manure is
also chemically active, and tends to
produce favorable outward conditions.
BY the use of coarse, stTuWy manure
upon a compact clayey soil or compact
loan, if well plOughed in and mixed
with the soil, the result. in breaking up
and lOOsening the soil, will be very
marked. This formation of humus and
change of texture of soils by the use of
stable manure is of the greatest im-
portance. Now the question arises,
How is it with artificial manuresP What
is their effect? Or have they any two
fold effectP Do they furnish a supply
of plant food on the one hand, and on
the other do they exert favorable in-
iiuence upon the soil as regards its con-
ditiOnP
To these questions the answer may
be given that, inasmuch as they contain
a formulated quantity of phOsphOric
acid, nitrogen and potash, they furnish
abundant nutriment if applied i'm sulH-
cient quantity. But they do not exert
any direct influence upon the nature of
the soil, as they can not add any to the
humus of the soil; nor can they change
of themselves the mechanical texture of
the same. By all experiments that
have been made, it is pretty well de-
termined that the greater the supply Of
humus in the soil, and the more favor
able its external condition, the greater
the effect produced by the application
of special fertilizers; therefore, even by
the use of green manures, or upon sod
with a thorough working of the soil,
rendering the external conditions as
favorable as possible, artificial manures
will prove efficient Although it is
possible to produce crops upon a poor
soil by the use Of special manures, the
results bear no comparison with those
where there is a liberal use of stable
manure used i'm connection with the
special The more lasting effects of
stable manures is a good reason why
their use should be made as full as pos
sible.-ITOt Ye0m0BS, iB Boston Globe

oOuRTlNe BY FIRELlaHT.

How the Young People Conducted Their
Love Making in Ancient Times.
Uncle Davy was giving the boys
some advice in their love-malling affairs,
and one of them asked him how the
young people did when he was spark
ing. Them was great times, boys,
he said, in reply, great times. We
didn't have no gas, no kerosene, nor no
new-fangled notions, and we done our
sparkin by plain tallow dip, hut most
frequently lust by the freight. Fire
light is warmin', boys, and tiickers just
enough to make girls eyes shine and
the peach blossom glow on her cheeks.
It's mighty soft and purity, too, and
kinder reaches out and melts two hearts
together in a way none of your gas
lights knows anything about. Some
times the fire shined up a little too
powerful in places and the young
man would get up without sayin'
anything and put a shoveltul Of
ashes on it, Then he would cuddle up
to the girl in the shadow and she would
euddle some, too, and it really didn't
seem like there was anything else in the
whole big round earth to be wished Tor
Purity soon the fire would get obstreper-
Ous again, and the little flames would
twinkle in and out, as if they wanted to
see what was gOin on, or had seen and
was laughin' and winkin' about it and
hayin some fun, too, and the young
fellow would reach for the shovel and
the ashes and cover the bright blazes
all up. And sOmetimes-rememb ber,
now, only sometimes-the girl would
get up and put ashes on, and then
we'll boys, when the blue birds come in
the spring, and the fshin' worms
crawled out of the ground, and the boys
set on the green banks of the little creek
waitin' for a bite, and the iohnny-iump-
ups nestled in the sunny places, there
was a weddin' in the old house, and the
purity bride wore apple blossoms in her
hair, and the awkward young fellow
blushed in his store clothes and tight
boots; and when the winter came they
sot by their own fire, and the shovel and
the ashes was out Of job. "-Merehan!

Ecru canvas etamine and dark green
velvet or velveteen are combined in the
handsomest travelling suits, which must
be tailor-made, of course.
Tailor cut and made suits are much
more important as stamping the fash
iOnable prestige of the wearer than
costly fabrics made up by dressmakers
of even fine ability.
There are ladies, and fashionable
women, too, who utterly refuse to wear
tinsel, high hats or bonnets, bustles or
high coiflures, but they are the eXCep-
ton, not the rule
From the description given. in the
London Truth of the Princess BeatUice's

Little girl bridesmaids are the fancy
of brides. and they are dressed i'm quaint

must of course, be flower festival.
The Alameda parasol is mushrooms

A Scientist Who Believes That Its Color
lis Blue.
It may be asked, What suggested the
idea that the sun may be blue rather
than any other colorP My own atten-
ton was first directed this way many
years ago, when measuring the heat
and light from different parts of the
SUMS disk. It is known that the sun
has an atmosphere of its ewn, which
tempers its heat, and by cutting off
certain radiatiOns, and not others, pro-
duces the spectral lines we are all
familiar with. These lines we custom
arily study in connection with the alb
sOrbing vapOrs of sodium, iron, and so
forth which produce them; but my own
attention was particularly given 10 the
regions of absorption, or to the color IL
caused, and found that the SUMS body
must be deeply blush, and that it would
shed blue light, except for this appar-
emily cOlOrless solar atmosphere, which
really plays the part of a reddish veil
letting a little of the blue appear on the
center of the sun disk where 70 Is thin
nest, and staining the edge red, so that
TO delicate tests the center Of the sun is
a pale aquamarine, and its edge a gar
net. The effect 1 found 10 be so im-
portant chat, if this all but invisible
solar atmosphere were diminished by
but a third part, the temperature of the
British Islands would rise above that of
the torrid zone; and this directed my
attention to the great practical impor-
tance of studying the action of our own
terrestrial atmosphere on the sun, and
the antecedent probability that our own
air was also and Independently making

white one. ne.-Pr0C Langley, ili Science

that army in presence of the represent

Bazaine brought forward, dressed in all
the insignia of a marshal of France.
Then the President of the Assembly
would have read aloud the judgment
declaring Bazaine a traitor to his coun-

would have torn Off his crosses, broken
his sword, trampled his epaulettes un-
