Something to Show.

Men are too ready to assume that
women, as they say, know nothing
about business. Some women are ig-
norant of such matters, it is true, but
ON the other hand some women have
quite as much business capacity as
their husbands.

On a good upland soil, naturally

known that ammonia and moisture in
abundance induce rank and succulent
growth. So when we manure heavily
we can withhold ammonia. or supply
it in moderate quantity; and when the
natural conditions present too much
moisture, by insuring drainage. In
| the case of corn, sugar corn and forage
crops, the conditions, or alluvial land,
are especially favorable to the largo
yield, because the crops, as rule. re-
quire a maximum of moisture and OF
ammonia.
OF course, the method OF cultivation
is important, and we are of opinion
that surface cultivation, as practiced in
the older States east of Mississippi.
would give better results. High beds
are probably necessary in Mississippi
bottoms, ON account OF too much
moisture in early spring, and during
protractod wet spells. But there APP
pears no reason why sweeps and Gull
tivators may not be used as elsewhere.
Deep blowing induces large develop
ment of weed, and is opposed to fruit
fulness.
We have no doubt that cotton is gen.
orally too closely crowded on most
IL nds, but especially in the rich soils
of the Mississippi valley. AS gen.
eral rule the rows should be as wide
apart as the average height Of stalks
when full grown; aud should be not
closer to each other along the row than
one-half the width of the rows. Ger

unequal proportion and much too close

One of the most important consider
ations on such soil is the selection Of
seed. We would suggest the use Of
seed of some prolific variety grown on
the uplands of Middle Tennessee; or
some other more northern locality.
Such seed will be apt to produce short
limbed, prolific and early maturing
plants.
We think the open secret of Mr..

THE HERMIT WOMAN.
Her Death Reveals the secret of
Ser Past Life.

A Baltimore dispatch to the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat says: Nine.
Peyanaud, better known in Paris as
Nine. Gibguinaud, died last night in
little hut near Catonsville, Balti-
more county, surrounded by dogs,
squirrels, cats and birds. The only
human being who knew of the old
woman's demise was the good priest
OF the parish, who administered the
sacraments Of the church and gave
her absolution. For eight years she
has lived in seclusion, stunning her
neighbors and venturing out only
when it was necessary to lay in a sup
ply of food or when going to church.
Up to the hour Of her death her con-
fessor alone knew of the old woman 3
history, which is now for the first
time made public. Nine. Peyanaud
was born in Paris, and up 10 the time
OF her marriage enjoyed the respect of
all who knew her. Soon after her
wedding her husband, a barber, died,
leaving her in possession of the secret
OF beautifying the complexion. She
continued to carry on the business,
but 1t was not sufficiently remunera-
tive, whereupon she conceived the
idea OF compelling her customers to
pay more literally.
She advertised extensively, prom
Using the most remarkable improve
ments by the use OF her wash, but en-
dining absolute secrecy upon the la
dies whom she proposed to benefit.
Soon her business increased, and then
she PIT her scheme into operation.
Selecting the wealthiest of patrons
she gave them mixture, which, when
applied to the face, brought out
blotches instead OF roses. When they
applied for relief, she would demand
an exorbitant sum TO effect a cure,
which her victims only too gladly
paid. She continued this business
successfully for some time, until a
Miss Nicholas, who was victimized,
had her arrested for swindling. She
was tried in Paris in 1875, and SEN
fenced to prison. After serving sew
eral years, she managed to escape,
and sailed for New York, where she
lived very quietly. One day she at
tended church, and, overcome with
remorse, sought the officiating priest
and confessed her sins, stating at the
same time her readiness to do pen
ance. The priest advised her to for.
sake her evil ways and spend her days
in prayer.
She at once came to this city and
sought the hut on the Catonsville
road, in which she passed the re-
maihder of her life. She prayed con.
