USE OF COAL ASHES.
A Correct Estimate of Their Value as a
 Fertilizer.

A Correct Estimate of Their Value as a
 Fertilizer.
 What is said about coal ashes bene- 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 me chanical effect. They render clay more divisible. and so more permeable to the air. But the air must not enter the soil in storms, but have, as it were, only a slow but constant infiltration; sandy soil is apt to admit it with its caustic qualities more freely than the roots can endure. The fine sifted ashes correct this by filling the inter- stces; and so benefit in both cases.
 Every thing grows well 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 cov- CT them with soil that is open and fr;- able, or with leaf mould, as our soil is heavy and soon packs. We have tried coal ashes several times, thinking that the young seedlings might easily push their lumpy heads (their cotyle- dons) through the easily-broken inch of ashes. But the effect has always been bad; very rarely a plant ap- peared through such a covering. The cause is apparently too close an ex- clusion of air. which is indispensable at the moment of germination in free supply.
 Coal ashes are a great benefit to grass when strewn on very early in the spring. They allow the sharp points of the grass-sprouts to pierce through and largely preserve coolness and moisture to the roots, while they effectuaily smother all fat-leafed in- truders and mosses. In fact, so many are the uses and real value of this material which accumulates about all our houses during every winter that one sees with regret so much of it wheeled away in spring. to be dumped into any hole or corner where it will be out of sight. It should be sifted as taken from the fires. both to save the half burned coals for night fires, and the exhausted cinder fol path and road making. and for the manifold beneficial uses of the tinel siftinqs.

Avaluable and Useful Cat.

A family in East Dougherty, Ga., had 0 cat which used to kill and bring in game to them. One moonlight night, as the cat started out on 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 denizsns of the woods seemed to understand it, as they began to gather from every direc. tion. When the cat had reached 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 @ 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 venturesome bun- nies, putting a sudden end to the game for the night

The Decimal System.

While all the world nearly has adopted the decimal system in currency, Eng and, saya the Montreal Gazette, retains her pounds, shillings and pence. What is even more remarkable, as showing the infuen ce of descent, the Americans and, if yor please, the Can adians, are just as back ward in this respect. They have adopted the decimal currency, indeed, but still mainta in the clumsy system of weights and measures, and, what is stranger still, because not surrounded by the same ob- jections, they use the antiquated Fahren heit thermometer in place of the simple oentIgrade.

Divorces in Australia.

An English laborer, unable to find em. ployment, 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 a wife at home. The girl wrote to her rival offer ing to buy her husband from her. The wife consented to sell him for $100. 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 it's arrival the happy couple in Australia were married.

A Bull's-EYe Shot.

Boy, did you kill that rabbit" kcd a citizen of a lad who was car rying a dead hare along the Holden road the other day in one hand, while he had a gun in the other.
 ''If I didn't, who did?" was the surly reply.
 Why, he might have run agin the fence and committed suicide"
 Oh. you were snealing around and saw it, eh?' exclaimed the boy, as he gave the rabbit a swing and dropped him into a mud hole. Detroit Free Press

"Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
 Teeth"

A prominent English woman says the American women all have high, shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
 Americans don't like the constant twit- ting they get about this nasal twang, and yet it is 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 malnutrition induced by deranged stomach action. The condition is a 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 Consumption 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 positive assurance of freedom, both from catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected, inevitable conse- | quences, pneumonia, lung troubles and con- ! sumption, which so 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. 18th, 1888; 1T 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 '' sound and we'll"
 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.

Sentencing a Monkey.

A monkey exhibited at a museum es- tablished at Tacubayo, Mexico, was con- demned to be shot under judicial sen tence. It seems that the animal bit a man, who died from the result of the bite. The fami. ly of the deceased brought complaint be- fore judge who was foolish enough to 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 change of the sentence to perpetual imprisonment. The monkey is now enduring the punishment of his crime behind the bars of an iron cage at the museum.

Edwin Enrrest,s Secret.

The great tragedian, Forrest, had secret which everybody ought to learn and profit by. Said he, ''1 owe all my success to the fact that every thing l have undertaken l have done thoroughly. I never neglect tri1es.n That's the point-don't neglect trifes. Don't neglect that hacking cough, those night-sweats, that feeble and capri cious appetite, and the other symptoms, trifing in themselves, but awful in their significance. They herald the approach of consumption. You are Tn danger, but you can be saved. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will restore you to health and vigor, as it has thousands of others. For all scrofulous diseases, and consumption is one of them, it is a sovereign remedy.
