This is rough on high-water 'pants."
If they become yellow on the knees,
ink them carefully, or boil them in black

go around the block, and people will

pay as high as thirty dollars for a suit
of clothes. Eight from thirty leaves

saved by this deal. Economy is wealth.
Again, let us look in the tangle of
domestic economy. A man will some.
times walk to save car fare, and then
purchase a quarter of dollars worth
of cigars. He will also complain bit

SOLUBLE FERTILIZERS.
Gross Careiessness in the Application q
FertilIxlng Materials to the Sell.

Gross Careleasness In the Application Of
Fertilixing Materials to the Sell.
There is heavy loss annually In this
country in improperly applying fer
tilizers to the soil. Farmers do not
consider that the ingredients Of the
best and most available fertilizers arc
soluble in water, and while some are
readily soluble, Others are only spsring-
ly 80. For instance, nearly all the
forms of lime are insolublc, especially
those used for agricultural purposes,
but plaster (sulphate of lime) may be
dissolved in large quantity Of water.
That is, it is only very sparingly sol.
uble, and does not quickly pass off by
leeching or washing, and for that
reason single application Of plaster
during the season will afford . con:
slant supply of that kind Of plant food
till the crop to which it has been ap-
piled natures, as each shower DIS
solves a portion, and affords additional
prepared food for the plants. but
nitrate of soda (saltpeter) dissolves
very readily. and in small quantity
of water, the result being that it Is
quickly and easily taken up by the
crop. The lime compounds not being
readily-s0luble are in direct contrast
with the salts of potash, all of which
are soluble. Superphosphate, which
contains free phosphoric acid, Is SOL
uble. but this solubility Is partially ar
rested by the reversion Of the free
phosphoric acid after it reaches the
soil, but pure ground bone only gives
off its particles as il is dccomposed.
To prevent loss of fertilizing mate
rial the applications should be made
in q manner so as to present them for
dissolution in accordance with tine
texture of the soil and the requirements
of the plants. Ground bone, on clay
soils, may be applied in full quantity
at one operation, but on light. sandy
soil the amount should be reduced, and
the bone applied more frequently. On
light. sandy soils all kinds of soluble
fertilizers do best when they are applied
at intervals. If the desire is to apply
mixed fertilizer of three hundred
pounds per acre. better results will be
obtained if one hundred and fifty
pounds are applied early in the spring
and one hundred and fifty pounds just
before the seed is formed, and II the
soil is rcry sandy the three hundred
pounds may be divided into three
parts and applied at three different
times, and the consequence will be q
larger crop and more benefit from the
fertilizer than when the whole amount
is applied at one operation. Labor l.
but a small item in the application OF
artificial fertilizers. as the amounts
used are small and they are applied
broadcast. while the frequent use Keeps
the plant food always near the surface
and always ready for the coming rain,
which dissolves it and gives the cror
an abundant supply OF food. Perm

A 6ook-Agent's Trick.

A friend of mine was telling me the
other day of some of the sharp tricks
which book-agents play IN order to
gain entrance to private houses for the
purpose of exhibiting their wares.
The favorite scheme at present seems
to be the following: The agent arms
himself with list of some of the prom
inent residences. with their occupants,
and a package of calling-cart;s execu-
ted In the most fashionable style. He
then starts out to make his "calls. -"
He stops at the house of Mr.. A., rings
the bell, and politely requests the SER
want to be kind enough to hand his
card to Mrs. A. The servant naturally
supposes him to be fashionable caller.
and announces TO Mrs. A. that "a gen.
tlcman wants to see her. Mrs. A.
thereupon spends half an hour in max.
ing herself presentablc, and descends
to the parlor to find-a book-agent.
[rableau.] My friend suggested that
book-agents should be compelled by
law to wear uniform. so that servants
may be able to distinguish them from
gentlemen. Minneapolis Tribune.

A Newport tR. H. special says
General Fitzhugh Lee is at Newport
for the first time, visiting the place
with his friend, Mr.. G. c. Baldwin. To
the Herald correspondent he gave his
opinion of the late Samuel j. Tilden-.
as follows:
"Mr. Tilden was considered in Yir-
ginia and elsewhere in the South as a
wise and ssgacious statesman. The
Democratic party has lost one Of It's
greatest men. He was q safe man,

at large from Virginia to the st. Louis

Convention. On the first ballot the
Virginia delegation was divided. j
a(terwsrd recognized the wisdom Of
the choice made by the Convention and
supported him heartily in Virginia.

Mr. Tilden was too modest in asserting
his claims to hold an Office to which be
had been fairly and squarely elected by
the msjority Of the electors Of the re-
public. The underlying principle Of
republican government is that ma
iority Of the legal voters shall de-
termine who will be their Chei
Magistrate. A majority Of the voters
decided that Mr.. Tilden was duly
elected President, and | firmly believe
that q majority, having made the deci'
sion, should have been equal to putting
him in the Office TO which they had
elected him. II had been Republ-
can would have cheerfully acquiesced
in the decision Of the people, because
the perpstuity of our republican IN
stitutions would have been strength
ened by such acquiescence. In other
words, II one political party attempts
to cheat the other political party
out of its victory it becomes easier IN
the years to come for the party not N
power to play the same game upon
their opponents, and many men would
reconcile their consciesces to it by the
precedent which had been set. !
