THE American Bookmaker is good
enough to inform people how to remove
grease spots and ink spots and sealing
wax spots and other kinds of spots from
books. This information would be more
valuable were it not for the sad fact that

who are principled against returning
them, while as for the other books it is
of no consequence whether they are
spotleks or not.

A HinGo0 Robbef.

A celebrated robber of Central India
has recently been captured and has made
4 full confession of his life. His name is
Tantia Bheel. More than fifty years ago
he was arrested on a false charge and
made his escape. He was rearrested,
served his term, was arrested again and
still again; but before his last term was
completed he made his escape and took
to robbery. He organized a band and
with them would swoop down on a
village, rob it of its best, perhaps burn
the village, and then take to the mount
aims. He has been called the Robin Hood
If India, because he robbed the rich to
help the poor. Last year he is said to
nave distributed 5000 rupees among the
poor, and he has often purchased bullocks
to feed them. His name has been so
widely known that a number of other
bands, he declares, are now committing
extensive robberies in his name.

NECESSITY FOR FERTILIZERS.

The necessity for some kind of f~ertiliz-
ng additional to the barn manures is alb
~solute, and the element of nitrogen is
the most important of all. How to pro-
cure this is the most serious question that
presents itself. It costs about seventeen
cents per pound in its most available con-
dition, and as it is furnished in the best
artificial fertilizers. This cost is a heavy
task upon the farmer, which is to be
avoided if possible. A farmer should
supply all his necessities from the farm
as far as possible, and especially his plant
food, and how he can supply this neces-
sary nitrogen is one of the considerations
that calls for all his knowledge and skill.
it is a poor business to pay out SIS or
$50 per acre in fertilizers to get twice as
much in the crop, and it may be ques-
toned very reasonably if it is not better
10 grow small crops, if it is unavoidable
from the condition of the land, than to
pay out so much money with all the risks
of disappointment and lossby bad seasons.
But if the needed nitrogen can be pro-
cured in anotherway than by purchase, or
by the Improbable feeding of cattle or
Eheep, the question is solved, and if 1t
can be done by growing clover it is solved
in q very easy manner.-Nese York Times.

Rough Treatment.

Russia keeps up the informal habits OF
Peter the Great, and the conversation is
very gay and general at the court table
with much of the brittany of an officers
mess on a grand scale. In old times In
Russia wherever a guest made a distaste-
full remark a trumpet sounded. The
ofense repeated, the too laxative person
was led away and had his tongue cut out.
Nero used to have a pet tiger extended
beside him on his couch, which, at a
sign, sprung at the throat of any indis-
Greet babbler. In contrast to this life 1t
is almost painful to mention the clock
work formalities of other courts, and the
mapped-out rules for conversation at
Victoria's table seem absurd.-Detros
