~A boy while studying his lesson in
history the other night learned the date Of
W%ashington's death. Addressing his 49,
year-old grandfather, he cried: Grand
father, what great event occurred in 1892"
"Why I was born in that year" answered
the old man. The boy troubled him no
more with questions in history.

A GOOD CORN FERTILIzER.-Good sta
Bile manure is a complete manure for corn,
or any other field crop planted in the
South; but the difficulty is the usually
short supply of it. Cotton seed, or the
meal, is not complete from the fact that it
contains too small a proportion of phos-
phoric acid and potash. The high grade,
ammoniated potash fertilizers, made by
reputable manufacturers, are practically
complete manures for most of the crops we
grow. The idea of having special manures
for each of the several crops grown is a
very pretty one, and is based on sound
principles; but it is mainly impractical,
and may be disregarded. Indeed, as a
general rule, a fertilizer that is good for
cotton will be found to give good results
on corn, and vice versa.
If you already have cotton seed and
stable manure, you need only to buy acid
phosphate and some kind of potash salt,
usually kaipit. The following is a good
formula for corn when these materials are
used !:

Three years ago I contracted n blood poison. ap-
piled to a physician at once and his treatment came
near killing me. l employed an old physician and
then went to Ky. l then went to Hot Springs and re-
manned two months, but nothing seemed to cure me
permanently, although temporary relief was given me:
My condition grew desperate and l applied to a noted
quack, but I did not improve. I then used a prepara-
ton that was prescribed ~"sratls," but 1t contained too
much alcohol ind aggravated my s~ufferings. ] then
placed myself under the treatment of n noted Nash
willie physician and for u time was benefited, but by
fall | returned home a ruined man physically apd
financially, with but little prospects Of ever getting
well. My money being exhausted, | did not know
what to do. In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me
to get q bottle of b. b. B. (made in Atlanta) and | did
so to crafty her, but to my utter establishment had
not finished the first bottle before every ulcer had been
healed.
To the present time I have used five bottles and
have received more benefit than from all the rest
combined and | am satisfied that B. b. b. is the most
wonderful blood purifier ever before known, and
urge all afflicted young men to try one single bottle
and be convinced. / can truly say | think 1t the
best medicine In the world.

2ag Where the grape vines have been
trained on high frames for arbors they are
less subject to rot as compared with those
vines that have been trained close to
the ground. The grapes that escaped the
rot were those growing near the top of
the arbor. This indicates that the nearer
the grapes are to the ground the nearer
they are to the spores, and that a free cir
culation of air is a partial preventive.

THE MOSOUE OF OMAR.

The Mosque of Omar is beautiful. Its
walls are adorned with marbles of delicate
colors and the dome is rooted with tiles OF
brilliant blue and some blue and yellow.
The effect from the Mount of Olives is OF
a turquoise dome roofing walls OF pearl.
It stands high; white p~avemements and
tall expresses around steps lead down to
other courts, once the court of the Cen
tiles, the court of the Great Brazen LAYER,
etc., and olives and grass of emerald green
and abundant wild flowers the
nakedness where Solomon's offerings had
enriched the entrance ground between the
golden gate and eastern walls OF the tenn
pie itself.
Inside the mosque is exquisite. A cir
Gle of marble pillars inclose the veritable
rough rock Of Mount Moriah, and support
the inner part of the dome, which is rich
in mosaic, worthy to be compared with
that in Santa Marie Maggiore in Rome.
Portals and partitions, inlaid with tortoise
shell, mother-of-pearl and ivory, divide
the little side chapels from the central
passageWay between them and the sacred
rock, the scene Of Abraham's awful obedl-
ence and of the sacrifices which interpreted
one great sacrifice of the Son of God. We
saw the opening cut in the rock for the
escape of the sacrificed blood, and, de-
scending into the excavation below, we
found a similar opening communicating
with a duct which discharged into a cess.
pool by the Brook Kedron. We crossed
the outer southern court, and, passing the
fountain supplied by the same water as its
grander predecessor, on the backs of bra
zen oxen, we descended beneath the pres
ent mosque, ElAksar, close to the Mosque
of Omar, into the same gallery which
led to the old temple from the south, and
up which our Lord walked again and again
when he was here. It is now half filled
with rubbish and earth, but the ceiling is
still so high above, that we needed to be
reminded that the ground level is far
down under the rubble. The pillars, in
single solid blocks, the round keystone in
the roof, and the lintels Of long single
stones, are witnesses of the glory which
has departed. Leaving this gallery we
climbed the city walls by the golden gate.
and walking south at the angle of the
walls, we descended under ground into the
stables of Solomon. That they may have
been utilized by him, and certainly were
by the crusaders, the halter rings declare ;
but it seems the original intention was to
raise the level of the valley, and the thick
forests of pillars are chiefly for support.
