What is said about coal ashes Bone
fitting soils, whether heavy or light,
and the Importance attached to the
mechanical condition or texture of the
soil, is all undoubtedly correct. Prob
ably coal ashes have little other than
a mechanical effect. They render clay
more divisible, and so more perme able
to the air. But the air must not enter
the soil in storms, but have as it were,
only slow but constant infiltration;
sandy soil is apt to admit it with its
caustic qualities more freely than the
roots can endure. The fine sfted
ashes correct this by filling the inter-
stices; and so benefit in both cases.
Every thing grows we'll under a
mulch of coal ashes provided that the
plant leaves are not covered, and that
the ashes be stirred after rains, during
the growing season. Without this
they pack so as to exclude the air too
much. In planting the seeds we COW

heavy and soon packs. We have tried
coal ashes several times. thinking
that the young seedlings might easily

been bad; very rarely plant APP

Coal ashes are a great benefit to

THE LONDON POLICE.
A Well-Organized Body of Nearly Four

A Well Organized Body of Nearly Four
teen Thousand Men.
The London police force, like all the
institutions of that vast metropolis, is
arranged upon gigantic plan. The
uperintendents. inspectors. sergeants
and constables make up an army
thirteen thousand eight hundred
strong-a truly formidable force. but
none too large. when it is considered
that the Metropolitan Police District
extends over radius of fifteen miles
from Charing Cross, exclusive of the
City of London and its liberties, and
embraces an area of six hundred and
lightweight square miles. of q rate
able value of thirty-three million eight
hundred thousand pounds per year.
Over such an area rs this, in Guiding,
rs it does, a population of some five
million three hundred and sixty thou
sand persons, there is. of course, q
vast amount of work to be done;
and it must be borne in mind
that the duties of the London police
are not limited to the taking into GUS
tody of criminals and disorderly per-
sons, and the watching of property.
but include such duties as the carry
ing out of the Smoke Abatement acts,
the inspection of common lodging
houses. regulation of street traffic, and
at certain times the onerous duty of
taking up of stray dogs-all of which
duties are any thing but light in
town like London; nor are they likely
to become less arduous, seeing that
during the year 1886 twelve thousand
two hundred and fifty-two new houses
were built within the police district.
making twenty-nine miles of new
streets.
The number of persons apprehended
by the police during the year 1886 was
seventy-two thousand one hundred and

during the same period was one hun

eighteen thousand one hundred

certain parties as a net gain. Not
withstanding the vast size of London,
it is somewhat astonishing to notice
that no fewer than seventeen thousand
eight hundred and two persons were
reported to the police as missing, and
eight thousand nine hundred and forty
three were found and restored to their
friends. During the twelve months.
there occurred one thousand and fifty
fires. ffty-eight of which were extin-
guished by the police. The truth of
the saying. that it is safer to travel by
railway than to walk the streets of
London, would seem to be quite veri-
fed by the fact that the number of
persons known by the police to have
been run over and killed in the streets

Ayaluable and Useful Cat.

A family in East Dougherty, Ga, had a
cat which us ed to kill and bring in game
to them. One moonlight night, as the cat
started out on a foraging expedition, it
was followed and watched. As it made
its way along it uttered peculiar cry or
call from time to time. The little denizens
of the woods seemed to understand it, as
they began to gather from every direc.
tion. When the cat had reached a clear
and open space it stopped and waited.
Soon a number of rabbits, as If by some
pre- concerted arrangement, began to
gather around her, until a large ring was
formed, the cat in the center. The cat
played with the rabbits for some time,
chasing them around the ring, but at last
caught one of the more venturesoms bum

Sentencing a Monkey.

A monkey exhibited at a museum es-

institute criminal proceedings against
the monkey and sentenced him to be shot.
Luckily the manager of the museum
brought influence to bear, and succeeded
in obtaining a change of the sentence to
perpetual imprisonment. The monkey is
now enduring the punishment his crime
behind the bars of an iron cage at the
museum.

While all the world nearly has adopted
the decimal system in currency, Eng and,
says the Montreal Gazette, retains her

more remarkable, as showing the influen ce
of descent, the Americans and, if you
please, the Can adams, are just as back

the decimal currency, indeed, but still

Divorces in Australia.

An English Iaborer, unable to find en-.
pl oyment, decided to emigrate to Aus
tralia. leaving his wife at home. Find.
ing girl whom he loved. and who re.
turned his attachment, he was honest
enough to confess that he had wife at
home. The girl wrote to her rival offer -
ing to buy her husband from her. The
wife consented to sell him for 800. After
a few months the money with a paper
arrived by which she was to renounce
all her rights in her husband to the girl.
The paper was duly signed and sent back.
After its arrival the happy couple in
Australia were married.

/" Nasal Voices. Catarrh and False
Teeth -


A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrin, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twit-
ting they get about this nasal twang, and
yet it is a fact caused by our dry stimulat-
ing atmosphere, and the universal presence
of catarrhal difficulties.
But why should so many of our women
have false teeth?
That is more of a poser to the English. It
is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory of deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by
want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition is
modern one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use
of what is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and Cons umption Remedy and
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned
standard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put forth
under the strongest guarantees of purity
and efficacy by the world-famed makers of
Warmers safe cure. These two remedies
plentifully used as the spring and summer
seasons advance give poSltlVe assurance
of freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable conse-
quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which generally and fatally
prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem. Henry Co.,
Iowa, served four years in the late war and
contracted disease called consumption by
the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages.
After using Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption remedy, he says, under date
of Jan. 10Th, 1888: 81 do not bleed at the
lungs any more my cough does not bother
me, and do not have any more smotherlng
spells" Warmers Log Cabin Rose Cream
cured his wife of catarrh and she is g sound
and well.''
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false teeth
owners, but these conditions can be readily
overcome in the manner indicated.

THE SWISS VINTAGE.
A Spectacle Devoid of All Poetic Gage
and Surroundings.

A Spectacle Devoid of All Poetic Gayety
and Surroundings.
The winter and the vintage come
on together at Villeneuve. and when
the SHOWS had well covered the mount
aims around. the grapes in the valley
were declared ripe by an act OF the
Commune. There had been so much
rain and so little sun that their ripe
ness was hardly attested otherwise
Fully two thirds of the crop had
blackened with blight; the imperfect
clusters. where they did not hang
sodden and mildewed on the vines,
were small and sour. 1t was sorrow
full to see them; and when, about the
middle of October, the people assem-
bled in the vineyards to gather them,
the spectacle had none of the gayety
which the poets had taught me to
expect of it. These poor clusters did
not
reel to earth
Purple and gushing,

knife with which the peasants cut
them from their stems; and the peas

steps and rustic song to the sound OF

venient instruments, met in obedience
to public notice duly posted about the
Commune. and set to work. men,
women and children alike silent and
serious. So many of the grapes are
harvested and manufactured in COM
mon that it is necessary the vintage
should begin on fixed day, and no
one is allowed to anticipate or post

dropped them into the fattish wooden
barrels, which others. after MASKING

bore off and emptied frothing and
gurgling into big casks mounted on
carts. These were then driven into
the village, where the mess was poured
into the presses, and the wine crushed
out to the last bitter dregs. The vine
yards were a scene of activity. but not
hilarity. though a little way off they
looked rather lively with the vintagers
at work in them. We climbed to one
of them far up the mountain-side one
day, where the family were gathering

and the vintage went sorrowfully on in
the mud All Villeneuve smelt of the
harsh juice and pulp arriving from the
fields in the wagons, carts, tubs and
barrels which crowded the streets and
sidewalks, and in divers cavernous
Easements the presses were at work,
and there was slop and drip of new
wine everywhere. After dark the peo-
pie came in from the fields and Cos
siped about their doors. and the red
light of fitting lanterns blotched the
steady rainpour. Outside of the village
rose the black mountains, white at the
top with their SHOWS.
In the cafes and other public places
there were placards advertising Amer
lean wine-presses, but l saw none of
them in use. At farmhouse
near us we looked on at the use
of one of the old-fashioned Swiss
presses. Under it lay mighty cake
of grapes. stems and skin. crushed
into a common mass, and bulges
further beyond the press with each
turn of the screw. while the juice ran
in little rivulet into tub below.
When the press was lifted, the grapes
were seen only half crushed. Two
peasants then mounted the cake, and
trimmed it into shape W it'll long-han-
died spades, piling tie trimmings on
top, and then bringing the press down
again. They invited us with charm
ing politeness TO taste the juice, but
their heavy boots bore evidence of too
recent visit to the cherished manure
heap, and we thanked them with equal
courtesy.
The grape cake. when it had
yielded up its last drop. would be
broken to pieces and scattered over
the fields as a fertilizer. The juice
would meanwhile have been placed
to ferment in the tuns, twelve and
thirteen feet deep, which lay in the
adjoining cellar
For weeks after the vintage people
were drinking the new wine, which
looked thick and whitish in the glasses,
at all the cafes. 1t seemed to be
thought a dainty beverage. but our
scruples against it remained. and 1
can not say what its effect upon the
drinkers might be. Perhaps it had
properties as ''sweet, oblivious anti
dote" which rendered necessary the
placard we saw in the cafe of the little
Hotel Chillon:
Die Rose blunt,
Der Dorm der stfcht;
Wer gleich bezahlt
Vergisst es NIGHT.
Or, in inadequate EHglish:
The roses bloom,
The thorns they stick;

Who settles quick.

apparent. but the lyric cry is still dis
tinctly audible. - Hatidna Dean HoW-
