A little over five years ago a Spring
field man in Paris found former
Springfield girl IN afIluence as the
morganatic wife of Ferdinand II, the
cx-king of Portugal She received him
kindly and inquired particularly after
several of her former mates in this
city. The story of her life was familiar
to lilly Hayes and his sister, now
travelling in Europe, and while in Lis
bon recently their cards were present
ed to the Condessa d'Edla, us she is now
known. The countess appointed an
hour for visit, and received her
American friends very cordially, as a
letter states To quote by permission;

Cheap Food in London.

For penny the London beggar may
buy bowl Of beef or pea soup and a
large piece Of bread, enough to keep of
starvation for day. The spoon he eats
1t with and the bowl he eats out Of are
chained to the table. Nothing is left ly-
ing around loose in that style or restau-
rant. Two kinds of soup constitute the
entire bill of fare for the penny soup
house. For ha'penny there is always
hot roast potato ready on the sidewalk.
These potato roasting ovens are trundled
about on wheels, and are built to resem-
BILE small locomotive. They are known
as murphy busters" Another style of
street Kitchen deals In kidney and eel
pies, smoking hot, and two pence each.
The sham and beef shops" are ready
with their cooked wares at noon-corned
beef at two pence, for the lowest amount
weighed out, and for ha'penny each a
paper cone filled with freshly boiled po-
tatoes or turnips. "Winks," a species Of
salt water snail, are boiled in quantities
and sold on the streets.
The fried fish kitchens about 10 at
night are filled with people, plate in hand
waiting for the well Drowned sole from
the great frying watts at pence the plate,
with generous quantity of fried pota-
toes added for ha' penny. Six pence
buys the supper for small family and .
pence more pays for the inevitable pint
of porter. The 10 o'clock supper is the
Englishman's most enjoyable meal, and
twenty odd millions of people over there
eat it and do not suffer SO much from in
digestion as we do. 1t looks odd at first
though, when you make call, to see at
10 o'clock the table spread as If for din
ner and the roast beef hot from the oven
brought on.-Prentice milford in New

Inconsistent Prudcs.

Speaking of pictures, why is ii that

take home2 Everybody who stops to
think about it will know that the dis
tinction is made, and nobody will find
it easy to explain the inconsistency 1t
is safe to say that a nude figure can
not be found among the paintings in
any private house in Memphis II
would be considered the height of inn
proprietv to have such thing about
the place for young people TO look at,
although it would probably be admit
ted that the work could not be accused
of impure suggestion, since 1t repre-
sented only the human figure in re-
pose. 1t would be no more immodest
than the cuts in the physiologies that
the young folks study in school. On
the other hand, books are read by the
family that are not only full of vile
innuendo and calculated to give an
unhealthful stimulus to the magma
ton of the reader, but which have the
purpose of undermining the very
foundations of the home
Indeed. there seems TO be a genuine
craze for books of this kind The
most valuable advertisement that can
be given a new novel, for instance, is
to deuounee it as immoral. The pub
lie does not want to know if it is nice,
but if it is nasty. If the latter, it is
read with avidity, and the book sellers
can scarcely supply the demand.
Memphis is scarcely SO eager for liter
AIRY filth as some other cities are rep
resented to be, but too many books of
the Hernia Suydam" kind are sold
here. They are the outcroppings OF
dcpraved minds which feed upon the
vices and meannesses of our nature,
and seek TO spew them out upon so
ciety as true exemplars of humanity
The brave, honorable men and pure
women, who are found on every side
of us, are left out of the collection of
these naturalists of the lola school
No traits or impulses are wanted be-
fore their camera which do not bring
with them the scent of the sower-
Memphis Appeal.

Points In wheat CuIture-Prcparation Of
the Soil for Good Crops How and
When to Apply FcrtiIixers-wheat In
Rotation with Other Crops
Next to good seed we must have well
(, prepared soil for wheat. Rich calcareous
soils are best; corn stubble and potato
land slightly narrowed and without ma
nure make fine land for good crops of
wheat. The application Of fresh or new
well rotted manure directly to the soil in
which wheat is to be sown is unwise and
| injurious, says American Agriculturist.
which furnishes the following:
Such manure should always be APP
| piled in its fresh state to the crop preced-
| ing wheat. Clover sod turned In the fall
for spring wheat is excellent, but alfalfa
sod excels them all. Its roots penetrate
to great depth, not only enriching the
| soil but making it porous and remarkably
| well adapted to the growth Of all crops.
So superior is 1t that as high as sixty and
seventy bushels of wheat per acre have
been produced upon land thus treated.
Wheat. especially in arid regions, should
never follow oats, rye or barley. So dry
| Is the winter that the seed scattered in
| the harvesting terminates In the spring
and becomes badly mixed with the
wheat, and they are not the proper crops
| to rotate.
The cultivation of the wheat crop adds
much to its growth and yield; however
absurd this may appear to some, it is
nevertheless true. Most people, and ]
might say ninety-nine hundredths Of all
farmers in the United States never touch
their wheat from sowing time to harvest.
A cultivation Of the wheat crop does it
as much good rs cultivation Of the corn
crop or any other crop AS soon as the
wheat is well up and begins to stool, a
light narrowing not only kills the weeds
but helps the growth of the crop, and
when the wheat begins to make stalks
another and heavier narrowing will
often increase the yield 10 to 10 per cent.
These harrowings not only kill the little
weeds and give vigor to the plant, but
they keep the surface of the soil open
| and mellow for the better action Of the
atmosphere upon the roots. fthe wheat
is sown in drills foot apart small cul-
| tivator is better than a harrow, espe
| cially in those sections where the crops
| are irrigated. All crops do better when
irrigated from below The water, when
put on the surface, comes in contact with
the tender plant and Injuries it.
