SAVE THE STRAW.
Its Great Value as Fertllizlng Material
of Rare Merit.

All kinds of straw are of more value
for fertilizing purposes than is gen.
orally supposed. The principal value
is in the ash, which consists of potash,
magnesia, soda, silica, phosphoric acid.
lime, chlorine and sulphur. When
allowed to decompose on the soil, the
nitrogen which has been taken from
the atmosphere is supposed to be re-
tained while in acting as mulch,
additional nitrogen may be absorbed
from the atmosphere by the process
called nitriiication. Plowed under, it
not only retains gall its value las a
fertilizer. but acts mechanically in
keeping the soil loose, and is in this
way of especial value in tenacious soils.
When burned. of course all the nitro
gen is sexpelled and returned to the air,
while by the process the carbon is con-
yerted into carbonic acid gas, and be-
comes a part of the atmosphere. But
in large quantities, as in some wheat.
growing sections, there may be such
an abundance Of straw that it can not
be very well utilized for fertilizing
purposcs-that is, can not be plowed
under orused as a mulch, and thus
permitted to be reduced by slow decay.
In such cases it is better to burn it
than to permit it to be carried off from
the farm. BY burning, all the ingredi-
ents that are drawn from the soil are
returned to it., and so far the necessity
for mineral fertilizers is removed. But
large amounts of straw may be profit
ably used in the stables, under the
sheds and in the open barnyard. II it
can be run through cutter it i'm
proves its condition for bedding and
absorbent purposes and hastens its de-
composition. Besides If, at the time of
drawing out the manure, any portion
of the straw Is not well rotted, il will
fork much easier in short pieces than
it will when left ut full length. Further
more, it will spread over the soil better
and is more easily plowed under, or
less Objectionable il left on the sur
face, when cut into short pieces. When
straw is bright and clean, even though
the grain may have been dead ripe
when cut, cattle and other stock will
eat a good deal OF 1t In connection with
more concentrated and nutritious foods
BY all means husband the straw and
return to the soil all that belongs to it.
It is enough to carry off the material
appropriated by the grain that is not
fed and used on the farm, for nature is
all the while keeping strict account,
and is positive about having Salances in
her favor. The emoment any ingredient
is exhausted, or not left in sufficient
quantity, she will refuse to honor the
draft made on her for the production
of a crop requiring that material. =

Friend Cyrus W. Field.
A funny thing happened while wa
were at the Parker House in Boyton
recently. Mr.. Field gotiookod into his
room and could not get out. His per.
formance was very funny, but it illus,
trates his intense energy ar 4 restless
ness. You see, we had bten up till
aftertwelve o'clock fixing some papers.
think 1t was one O. clock before we
went to our rooms. We had two rooms
that opened into a small private hall,
from which there was q door into tho
main hall. just as we were going up
the reporters all came after us. would
not stop to talk to the reporters. |
never let them interview me-, but Field
stopped to talk with thom. 1t was
about 4:30 the next morning when
hoard him in his room, l knew right
away what was up, He had gotten
up early to get tho first copy Of
the paper to see what they said
about things. Pretty soon l heard
him go out in tho small hall. 1t
was not long after that till he
was Just raving. / Imade out from what
he said that he had broken the key in
the lock and could not open the door.
He went back to his room and tried to
ring the bell to communicate with the
office, but they had Just put in new
tangled call bell and he did not know
how to work it. He tried 1t three or
four times and then went back to the
door, where he stood and called
"Porter" and "Hall boy" and climbed
up and looked over the transom. |

so went out where he was. Well, do
you know that man from 4:3O until
eight o'clock kept up an incessant call
ing, mingled with attempts to make
the bell ring. pounding on the door,
and other noises to attract the atten.
ton of some one to release us. Finally
about 7,30 man in the next room
called out to know what was the matter
and on finding out rang his bell and SC
brought up bell boy. 1t was after
eight O clock when VIC were released,
because they had to send for the lock

BASHFUL MEN.
A Hawaiian Custom Which Formerly
Gave Them a Show In Life.

A Hawaiian Custom Which Formerly
Gave Them Show In Life.
By the established Hawaiian custom
and etiquette it was formerly the fe-
male who was the suitor when a mar
riageablemate of the opposite sex was
sought This was good plan for the
bashful men, but sometimes would
render members OF the masculine sex
liable to the charge of ungallant con-
duct. 1t is told that convert to the
Christian religion who was much ip-
terested in the welfare of his soul, was
sought in marriage by good-looking
female who was in the ranks of the un-
godly, and the man replied to her suit
that he must think of the salvation Of
his soul. and then he might be ready
to think of her. In many instances
the beauty of the women has been too
much for the men to Withstand, and
they have asserted their rights as lords
and masters and asked the girls.
One poor fellow was once asked why
he was not married, and he answered
sadly that none of the girls had asked
him. The story is told that once several
couples came to the missionary to be
married. When they were directed to
join hands with their partners one man
was found without any intended wife,
and was asked where the damsel was.
.sO,' replied the bridegroom, 'she is
at the door putting on her frock;" and.
as she delay appearing, he went after
her, and soon returned, after helping
to arrange the bridal dress, and tho
bonds were duly forged.
The Sandwich Islands is the only
place where squeaking shoes are fully
appreciated. The natives regard it as
an important part Of the footwear, and
cheerfully pay according to the amount
of squeak furnished. Once when shoe
maker was applied to for shoes with tho
squeak in them, he asked his customer
how much he would have put ina
pcnny's worth, twenty-five or fifty
cents worth, and the native finally
concluded he would take whole dol
lars worth. Good Words.

JENNER.s STRUGGLES.
Interesting Points Concerning His Dlsoov.

Interesting Points Concerning His Dlsoov-
cry of small-Pox Vaccination.
Although Jenner was forty mine years
old before he made vaccination known
to the world, the subject had attracted
his attention when only youthful ap-
prentice to country surgeon. Hewas
convinced that the current methods Of
treating cow-pox and smallpox were
capable of improvement, and he set
himself to study the nature Of the dis
ease. But for many years after his
opinions were made known to the med
ical faculty they were contemptuously
secuted. He had first of all to prove,
contrary to the prevalent belief, that
what was called cow-pox was not a
certain preventive of smallpox. Then
he had to trace out the nature of tue
difference in the diseases to which cows
are subject. and to ascertain which Of
them possessed the protective virtue
against smallpox. After repeated fail
ures ho made the grand discovery that
it is "only in a certain condition of the
pustule that the virus is capable of
imparting its protective power to the
human constitution" 1t was on the
l4th of May, 1899, that he first put his
theory to the test by transferring cow
pox by inoculation from one human
being to the other. 1t was two years
later, however, before his famous "ln-
quiry into the Causes and Effects of
the Variole Yaccin@" was Published.
Henry Give was the first London doctor
to put the thing to the test, and he Is
credited with performing the first sue
cessful vaccination in London. Other
cases followed, and Lady Frances
Morgan (afterward Lady Ducie) was
the first lady Of rank to have child
vaccinated. AL the Year Round.

LIFE INSURANCE.
The First Recorded Instance of the Intro
duction of Toutine AnnuitiNs.

The First Recorded Instance of the Intro
duction of Toutine AnnuitiNs.
With the growth OF commerce in the
middle ages, system of marine insur-
ance grew up in some of the chief mer-
camille cities. In 1888 Chief Justice
Coke, in one of the reports Of his de-
cisions, speaks of insurance in England
as quite novelty and it does not seem
TO have been recognized by law at that
time. The first English statute which
contains it was issued in 1901, in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, This first
application of the principle of insur-
ance was limited to mar ne risks. The
manifest advantages gained by it soon
led to its application to fire risks, and
eventually to various other interests,
as the insurance of growing crops
against hail, to the insuring Of cattle,
travellers from accidents, and also to
life insurance, but the precise date at
which the practice of life insurance
began is not known with definiteness.
1t has been stated that within about
four hundred years after the comenco-
ment of the Christian era, tables were
in existence for the calculation of an
nuities. The next step towards the
practical realization of life insurance
was the introduction Of the system Of
annuities.
The first recorded instance of an or
ganizod attempt to introduce theuse OF
qnnuities was made by Lorenzo Tonic,
or Tonti, Neapolitan, who lived dur
ing the middle portion Of the severn
teenth century. His plan was as fol-
lows: A certain number of persons
contributed certain sum to general
fund, no distinction being made either
on account of ege or sex. AT the end
of each year the interest of the general
fund thus created was divided among
those of the contributors who were liy-
ing. This was done year by year, until
the sole survivor received the whole Of
the interest. The Tontine system was
established in France in 1868. and pro
hibited in 1878. In the United States
the practice of life insurance was in
troduced before the revolution by the
formation of q society by some Episco
pal lministers in 1863. Their associa-
4 tioni was called tho Protestant sEpisco

To the best of his belief and judgment the

committed, was between IS and 10 miles

sixteen months continuously: Macleod |
