Red Clover as q Fertilizer.

hural world.
am a strong advocate of red clover as a
fertilizer on all kinds of soil; its roots pene-
trate and aerify the subsoil while its tops
shade, and when decayed fertilize the
surface. The fertility of our soil must be
improved by growing the manure upon the
one-tenth enough barnyard manure on
your own farms to keep up the average
fertility; we know it to be the best manure
the farmer can apply to his WORKOUT lands,
so far as it goes. 1t stimulates the produc-
ton of crops grown on the farm. 1 know
it is indispensable in carrying on the mar
ket garden, and nothing will ever super
sede it or take its place for growing sue
culent and tender vegetables, although we
might apply some of the many commercial
splendid results, such as bone dust and
pure lime.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Trade of the Past Week Falls Short or
Expectations Through Bad Weather.


INDIANAPOLIS, MarchA
Owing to bad roads and rather unfavorable
weather, the trade of the week which closed TO-
day did not come up to expectations. yet there is
nothing to indicate that the trouble is more than
temporary, as the general conditions are favor
able. Travelling statesmen say they have never
seen the merchants feelingmOre easy as to their
finances. nor more sangune of a good trade with
the coming spring than at the present
time. Stocks are low, and the mer-
chants are disposed to buy literally

An Intcrrunted Song.

An English sailor was employed in
cleaning tho side of q ship in the har-
Dor of Sierra Leone, when he sud-
denly disappeared from the view of
his astonished messmates. He had
his feet In the water as he sat at his
work, and he was singing % song.
He never came to the surfece. His
friends were far from suspecting the
cause of his disappearance until n day
or two after, when one of his limbs
was discharged from tho NAV of o
captured shark. Tho shark had
caught him by the foot and dragged
him down, and, as there was too much
reason TO believe, had waged fierce
fight over his remains with a swarm
of other monsters of the same species.
No single circumstance of horror
seems wanting to the story of this
poor fellows doom; and, to complete
the count, we have the almost fateful
carelessness by which it was brought
about. Only sailor, perhaps, would
have shown such indifference to per-
fectly we'll known danger Of tropical
seas. His snatch of song at the mo-
ment of his disappearance seems the
most cruel touch of all.--London

A Word Counting Machine.

\ telegraph operator in Minneapo-
lis has invented n word counting ma
chine which may be used by itself or
attached to n typewriter. 1t is much
the same sort Of thing rs pedometer,
only it is more accurate. 1t is as large
Us u small clock. Tho works are in
side the nickel case. on one side of
which is the faye. The machine will
count up to 900 words, and can be
used for any number by keeping tally
of the number of times il passes the
800 mark. There arc two hands like
the hour and second hand of the
watch. Every time u word on the
typewriter is finished the Same motion
which spaces for the word registers
on the word counter. When the
second hand counts up to twenty-five
words the large hand moves forward a
quarter of n space. The face is divi-
ded into twenty-five spaces, one for
each hundred words, and glance at
it shows ut once how many words
have been written.
Tho use of the word counter is not
limited to typewriting machines, but
it can be used in writing and in dicta-
ton by keeping it at hand and MAX
a slight pressure at the end of each
word. Some operators attach it to
their desks and work it with string
attached to their feet. 1t is u useful
invention, especially in telegraphy,
and in making an article of q speci-

A Happy Old Landlord.

A bridegroom is generally supposed
to be in q generous mood upon his
wedding day, and there are few chart
table benefactions up and down our
land which date their foundation from
the "happiest day" in the founders
life. The great hotel keeper Frohler,
of Buda-Pesth, who has just been di-
vorced from his wife, is of the quite
contrary opinion. 1t was not upon
his wedding day, but upon his divorce
day, that he was inspired with the en-
thusiasm of humanity. In gratitude
for his divorce and in perpetual mem
Dry of that ''happiest day of his life, +"
he has founded three charitable insti-
tutions-first, a pension fund for de-
cayed Hungarian journalists; sec
ondly, an exhibition for school boys
of Austrian birth who can pass the
best examination III the Magyar Ian
guage and literature; and, thirdly,
u village hospital in his own native
place, Inzersdorf. Future generations
are to be glad and rejoice because a
wealthy landlord obtained q divorce,
but they will hardly be able to say
they owe the endowment to ''the
pious ancestor. Pail Mall Gazette.

were always made for the wounded
stranger within our gates One
morning | told the Federal soldiers
that our guest was dead. and many
regrets and much sympathy for his
family were expressed.
"a soldier, named Adams l believe,
who sat on the floor nursing his
wounded foot, said to me gently: L
am a marble cutter by trade, and if
you will give me slab of hard wood
L will carvo Lieut. Woodly's name on
it SO that his family can find his grave
after the war is over Ono of the
walnut boards used TO mark the sol
diers' graves was sent to tho hospital
and the wounded Federal forgot his
own pain in carving in clear type
the dead Confederate's name and regi-
ment, with the words, He giveth His
beloved sleep In tho spring of 'G5,
after Gen. Grant had received Gen.
Lees surrender and ordered that the
boys should keep tho horses, they
would need to make - crop young
widow, with her two lovely boys, the
eldest about 6 years old, visited the
soldiers cemetery in our village and,
parting the tangled grass, found the
name of her husband carved by the
foe who had been actuated by love,
not hate, though he, too, had suffered.
There was no pension for the widow
or her babes; a cruel struggle with
poverty lay before them, but as shcy
knelt and kissed tho sod above her
lover-husband she blessed @ man
whose care had enabled hcI to find
the grave"
In conclusion Mrs. Langhorne saws:
Cannot tho noble women of Boston,
who did so much to aid our beloved
country in her hour of need, find
some pity in their hearts for those
who have suffered so severely for the
cause which they were taught to be-
lieve was right2 Massachusetts, men
forgave their enemies when the fight
ing ceased"
