They Infect Four Children After q Lapse

Thirty-ive years ago an opulent

graced the happy household. But
scarlet fever closed their eyes in

toys with two golden tresses, and rev.
erently laid them away in a trunk as

Last year two families took it as
summer residence. The children, six
in number, with childish curiosity. be-

the grand old house. In a closet was
found the forgotten trunk. A touch
dissolved the time-corroded clasp. and
one by one the sacred relics were re-
moved. until a faded newspaper was
found, which told the pathetic story.
Half-spelling out the meaning. they
took it to their mother. who chided
their curiosity and tenderly replaced
the treasures.
Five days after this occurrence two
of the children were seized with scar

Moral: Silks wooden and hair, be-

of friends dying with infectious dis

some remote period, the starting point

what zach Aero Of Land Gains By It n
Av~ilabls Nitrogen.
Clover has beneficial effect upon
the soil in two ways. and is not only
grown cheaply, but it yields valuable
crop for hay or pasture. 1t shades the
soil and mellows it, and this is bene-
fetal by encouraging the natural nitri-
hcatlon of organic smAtter that may 4ie
inert in the land. It produces 4arge
Quantity of roots. which contain uitro-
gen IN abundance. and yields a feeding
crop. which is sworth, for the nitrogen
not used up, by the stock and left,
available in the manure, at least SO
per ton, as valued on the basis of the
cost Of the nitrogen in, artificial ertiI
izers. After q crop of hay has been
taken for two years the second wear
the aftermath yields enough seed 20
stock the land for years when it ia
turned under, and an amount of most
useful plant food equivalent to ten
tons of the best barn manure per acre.
A fair yield of aftermath, with the
roots and debris of the previous hay
crops-not counting the manure made
by feeding two crops of hay. which in
all is estimated by the noted expert
Sir j. B. Lawes as equal to more than
$40 per ton of hay feed-would contain
at least so or go pounds OF nitrogen per
acre. (and at the most three times as
much.) which is equal to 81 or 73
pounds of ammonia. and is worth 4t
the market value of fertilizers IL cents
per pound. In ALL with the manure
;valae of the hay and the fertilizine
value of the roots and aftermath
this crop gains in available nitrogen
about 160 pounds.
In considering the interesting SUBJ
ject of fertilizing the soil for the
growth of crops. it must be always re-
membered that the land is an mex
haustible reserve of plant food. and
up to certain point is able to grow
crops indefinitely under judicious till
age. or. in other words, by thorough
and deep blowing and narrowing. But
this natural ability is. not sufficient to
pay for the labor Of cultivating the
soil, and some means must. therefore.
be taken to add to this reserved fertil-
ity or to develop it so that profitable
crops may be grown. To discover and
apply these means of developing the
latent fertility of the soil and to add
to it is the whole science and art of
agriculture Every thought and act
of the farmer is necessarily concen-
trated upon this, through as many
channels. however, as there are varia-
lions and differences in the methods.
To understand this point well greatly
simplifies the farmers work, for to
know what to do in any case is made
more plain by knowing what should
be done.-N Y. Times. F.

THE GERMAN NAVY.

Ten New Ironclads For Coast Defense to
BE Added to Its strength.
A new German man-of-war, the Sieg-
fried, has been launched at Kiel The
vessel commands some special inter
est. since it is the first of series of
ten constructed for coast defense and
destined to protect the mouths of riv-
ers and canals. particularly of the
great canal between the North and
Baltic seas, now in course of construc-
ton. The new vessel is 228 feet long
and 40 feet 6 inches wide and draws
about Is feet of water. with a displace-
ment of 3.400 tons. The engines are
of 1890 horsepower. and the ship is
propelled by two screws She is pro-
tected by broad steel belt on the wa
ter level, and carries three heavy guns
in two towers. situated forward and
aft on deck. Except signal staff be-
tween the towers there are no masts,
the sole reliance being on the steam
power. The speed is sixteen knots an
hour. probably as great as the low
draught of water and consequent great
width would permit. The deck, how
ever, is narrow. the sides being drawn
in. and thus the freeboard is low and
affords only comparatively small
mark for an enemy. There are also
contrivances for launching torpedoes,
and besides the three heavy guns the
new ironclad will be armed with quick
firing and revolving guns and will be
lighted by electricity.
The new ironclad, as described, is
built as an experimental ship to serve
as model for the other nine of its
kind. Its construction and shape
above the water level adapt it to the
strain of high seas and enable it to en-
counter ocean ironclads at some dis
lance from the coast, particularly in
view of the fact that but few of the
present armors, whether steel or iron,
can Withstand the force of its guns.
The vessel, though destined princi-
pally for coast defense, has great
power of attack.
The cost is about $775, 900, not in
Guiding the battery. estimated at about
5000 more. Thus the whole fleet
of ten vessels will cost about $40. O0O,-
600. perhaps $11. 900. 900. The Sieg-
fried is built of German steel, its plat
ing being composed of compound weld
ed steel and iron plates upon a back
ing of Indian oak, and it is almost SUI
perfluous to state that the vessel is
guarded against sinking by watertight
compartments, and as to auxiliary en-
gines, ETC.. lacks no improvement that
has been made use of in recent times.
The German feet will gain an eff
fective and formidable reinforcement
in these ships, and our American Gov
eminent might well take notice to
what extent the nations of the old
world are preparing to meet the ext
gencies of a coming strife for the SUI
premacy on the waters that govern
their coasts and harbors, the keys and
doors to the homes and to the lives.

A REMARKABLE CITY.
An Indian Capital That Has No Counter

An Indian Capital That Has No Counter

Lying between Assam and Burmah

one of whom. writing on the forests OF
the state in the Indian Forests" gives
an extraordinary account of Imphail.
the capital It is situated in what APP
pears dense forest Neither spires
nor chimneys cut the blue sky, nor is
smoke observed to ascend from the
sylvan scenes of the capital. Nothing,
in fact, bespeaks the busy home OF
$4,000 to 40, 600 people, and yet hidden
away among these trees is the palace
of the Rajah. and hard by are the
houses of his favorites, each family
having large Enclosure around the
homestead. Imphail may thus be de-
scribed as a city of villages. or rather
suburban residences around the palace.
Straight. wide roads, lined with trees,
frequently intersecting each other at
right angles, afford the means of COM
munication. but neither shop. artisans
nor wheeled conveyance exist in the
city. Industry and skill occur only
in the distant rural homes"
The people of the capital are the
promoted favorites of the ruler. who
have had assigned to them plots of
ground near the palace. and live by
pressing upon the prosecuted agricult-
wrists of the state.
The capital of Manipur is royal
residence dedicated to luxury and
amusement. ALI are happy. The
streets are crowded with smiling.
healthy faces. of which few bear
the marks of toll or labor.
There are no schools in the
state, and court favor and promotion
are secured by success in polo. Coin
age is unknown. and the men are not
allowed to trade. Imports and ex-
ports, except in certain articles that
yield royal revenue, are practically
prohibited.
The women from the distant villages
repair on a certain day to the capital
or to other recognized centers. Each
carries on her head a neatly-made
square basket. in which has been
placed the surplus stock of the home
stead. the labors of her Industrial skill
or of her husbands agricultural
knowledge. On reaching the market
place the contents of these baskets are
exposed and bartered, when each re-
turns again to her family, carrying off
the proceeds.
On market days the long, straight
road from Bishenpur to Imphail is
crowded by groups of women hurry
ing to and fro. Each wears an ele-
gantly striped dress in bright colors,
made of silk and cotton. The stripes
run along the length, and the top and
bottom are neatly embroidered. A
long piece of cloth is cleverly carried
across the breasts and just under the
armpits, instead of round the waist,
and is firmly tucked up. so that the
top embroidered edge falls forward,
adding an additional fold to the gar
ment, while the bottom edge reaches
q little below the knees. The legs and
arms are left exposed. The women
are the only traders in the whole
Times.
