The LeBlanche- Dempsey Knock out.

Dempsey and lie Blanche fought in
San Francisco August 9th tor a purse
Of $500. Thirty.two rounds were
fought. Dempsey was knocked out in
the thirty-second round.
Up to the thirty.second round Demp-
sey was by far the fresher man of the
two, and with but few exceptions had
the fight all his own way. He forced
lie Blanche to his corner and pounded
him numerically. The latter received
the staggering blows on his head and
neck. but stood up. The men gradually
worked to the center of the ring, and
while Dempsey still continued to find
LIE Blanches neck the latter wheeled
around suddenly and caught Dempsey a
terrific blow on the jaw and the mon
parei" fell upon his face and his blood
spurted out upon the floor of the ring
for ten seconds amid intense excite
ment. Dempsey struggled bravely to
rise, but before he reached his feet, weak
and staggering. the time had expired
and the referee awarded the fight to Le
Blanche.
The sudden termination of the fight
was surprise to every man in the
club-room. A chance blow lost Demp-
sey the battle at time when IL seemed
that the Marine was in his power.

Renewing Old Meadows.

Spring always finds the farmer with
plenty to do, no matter how much he gets
done in the fall, SO it is good plan to
do all that can be done in the fall in
order that all the time of spring may be
used in crowding the work of getting in
the crops and cultivating them early.
Those who keep the same piece of land
in meadow year after year, have probably
not ced that it becomes thickly matted
and forms compact sod, so that there is
meager or inferior growth Of grass.
Our own plan is to p ow up meadows be-
fore they get in this condition, but
writer in the Wisconsin AgricuIurist who
evidently has old meadows VIII CHI need
renewing, advocates the following plan
Of doing it:
He says because meadow falls off in
productiveness, is not a sign that it is
worn out or exhausted as some farmers
are wont to believe. Such meadows can
be greatly benefited and II ade to yield
abundantly. It has been our practice,
whenever it was found necessary, to sub
ject them to mechanical treatment and
the results have invariably been highly
satisfactory. The meager growth of the
grass is due to the closeness OF the
plants, and, therefore, all that is neees-
sary is to ''thin," or weed out the su.
perfuous growth, which is effectively
and readily accompl shed by passing
over them with sharp toothed harrow
A disc harrow will answer, but steeth''
are preferable. By this operation the
sod is 1acerated, the redundant
growth killed, and the remaining plants,
in Consequence, make luxuriant growth,
and large crop is the reward. This work
should be done either in the fall or in
the spring, and, as the sod is, through
the narrowing, rendered rough or I'M
even, it is we'll 10 pass over it with a
heavy roller, so that the crop may be
cut near the ground when haying time
comes.
A judicious application of well-rotten
barn-yard manure at the same time.
would greatly increase it's productive
ness.
With this last statement we most
heartily agree. In fact it would be no
wonder if it was not the well-rotted
manure having chance to work among
the roots because of the stirred-up con-
dition of the meadow, that produces the
more abundant growth and the better
quality of grass, as much as the thin
ming process. Well-rotted manure, any
fire manure, will help any meadow. If
<on have any time TO get it out and have

DenOsitS of Soda.

Along the Peruvian coast, stretching
for hundreds of miles, are the famous
beds of nitrate of soda, which purified
is saltpetre. These deposits, more
profitable than silver or guano, were dis
covered accidentally by vagrant named
George Smith, but were not operated to
any extent until recent years. Now,
nitrate, having been found a valuable
component of hundred chemical forms,
is in demand the world over, and
millions Of dollars worth is shipped
from the ports along the coast annually.
Before its value was fully known, a
number of far-sighted men located
''claims" after the fashion in vogue in
mining camps everywhere, and then the
government stepped in and forbade any
further preemption. But the original
loo ltions cover enough of the deposit to
supply the market a century or two,
and to keep up the prices they formed a
pool, a monopoly combined, under
which they charge from 50 to So per
hundredweight for what costs them
about fifteen cents. There is apparently
no limit to the stuff, the bed stretching
up and down the coast for 800 or 400
miles. Current.

w THE RANSOM WAS PAID.

On the helpless Flemish village
Cruel Alva swooped and fell,
And the peace of trade and tillage
Turned to martial clank and yell.
In the town house, tall and handsome,
Stood the great duke, looking down
On the burghers prof'ring ransom
For the safety of the town
Ger his brow gray locks were twining-
For his casque was laid aside,
And his good sword carved and shining
From his sword belt was united.
Prince he seemed Of born commanders,
Pride ami power each gesture told,
AS he cried: ''Ye men Of Flanders,
Bring me twenty casks Of gold!'
Then upon them fell a. sadness,
And a shadow like n pail,
While they mnrmured, '"Tis rank madness
Such sum from US to call"
And the spokesman Of the village
Murmured feebly: ''Sure you jest"
Answered Alva: "Gold or pillage-
Choose whicheer may suit you best"
Faint and stunned, they turned despairing.
When arose laugh of joy
And before their startled staring
In there pranced a little boy.
On his curls the dukes helm rested,
AS his noisy gee he roared,
And his good steed mailed and crested
Was great Alva's mighty sword!
Round about the room he gamboled
Peepng through the helmet bars;
Now he leaped and now he ambled-
Like Cupid mocking Mars.
Then he stayed his merry prancng
And of Alva's knees caught hold,
Where a ray of sunlight glancing
Turned his sunny curls to gold.
Swift the mother, sorey frightened,
Strove to take the cherub wild,
But the Dukes stern features lightened
As he kept her from the child,
And he drank the pretty prattle-
For the baby knew no fear,
Till his eye, SO fierce in battle,
Softenel with pearIy tear.
For baby rose before him
In far Spain ere wars alarms
Thus his fathers sword upbore him
Alva caught the boy in arms.
And, the pretty forehead barring,
Cried "A kiss" the child obeyed.
Then unto those men despairing
Alva said: ''Your ransom's paid!"
