This and the adjoining two acres was
to be sown to corn for fodder Upon
the other two acres no manure was put
but it was plowed and cultivated until
the soil, four inches deep, was as fine
as a garden bed. One and half BUSH
els of corn was drilled per acre on each
piece, drills 16 inches apart When
this corn was in blossom and ready to
cut it stood 16 inches higher than the
manured piece. On selecting two SAM
ples in ifferent places upon each piece,
cutting the green corn and carefully
weighing it, the manured piece gave
975 lbs. per rod. and the unmanllred,
but finely pulyer,zed. gave $50 lbs. per
rod--the manured giving p tons per

Envelope Making.

The process of manufacturing envel-
opes is apparently simple. although In
reality complicated Irue there are
only three distinct operations to be
gone through with-the cutting, gum.
ming and folding, but the blending Of
the last two operations into one makes
necessary the use of a complex machines
There is nothing remarkable about the
first part of the operation The paper,
as it comes from the factory, is cut in
squares or diagonals measuring thirty
or forty inches, special diagonal shapes
being selected for certain cutting dies,
in order to save the waste which would
follow from the sheet not being es-
pecially adapted to the shape Of the die.
Each sheet will average thirteen envel-
opes. which are cut out bv dies Of in-
Vulnerable sizes and shapes, but all
verging on the diamond. 500 sheets be-
ing placed on the press at time. In
spite of all precautions there is waste
of two pounds in every forty. The fold
ing and cumming machines are now
brought into use, and no more fascina-
ting operation can be found for a while
than to watch their lightning-like mo-
tions as they turn out finished envel-
opes at the rate OF seYenty-tiye a min
ute. Each oil these machines needs no
other attendant than \ girl who re-
ceives the envelopes As they are forced
out, binds them and packs them into
boxes. Six of the machines are used

Justice Mnite,s Experience.

Chief Justice Waite had a funny ex-
perienee the other day. He had an
imperative engagement in Baltimore.
Like all great men he is absent-mind-
ed. As he went up to the ticket office
he discovered. to his surprise, that he
had only few pennies in his pocket.
He saw no one he knew He filed up
in line to the ticket office, smiled across
the full width OF his ample mouth, and
asked the ticket agent if he knew him.

The Chief Justice glared. He could
not fine the young man for contempt Of
court. He blushed so that the agent
had his belief strengthened. The
Chief Justice had only five minutes
left. Across the street Inefe was u Sa-

across the road. He rushed in and ac-

Philanthropy in the Grocery business.

Referring to the system of beggary
practiced by churches, asylums, or
ders, associations, and other bodies, an
interior grocer was relating in a whole
sale bouse here the other day that af-
ter he had donated u barrel of crack
ers to a church fair, fifty pounds of
sugar to an asylum, half a chest of tea
to an old women's home. one hundred
pounds of butter to hospital, and so
in cash to a b BILE class, a woman came
in and asked him to give lift TO a
helping-hand society.
"Oh, certainly. he pleasantly re-
piled. ''Shan't give you the entire
contents of the store?"

deal of dignity. You can reserve the

Japanese Social Life.

The picturing Of a Japanese house OF
one Of the middle or lower classes.
without even an iniimalion that there
were other and more elaborate struc-
ures for the more elevated aud wealthy,
IS misleading TO our people Whiie
it is true that there is much simplicity
in the design of all the dwellings in
Japan, there is ut the same time vast
difference in the material and work
manship, as we'll as in their magnitude.

and shrines that rear their lofty roofs,
rich in bronze and copper, and glitter
ing with lacquer and gold, which are
seen upon almost every slightly prom

Again what of their famed warriors,
