Of the odious and infamous convict lease

Is a sudden inspiration. to be sure, but In
keeping with Democracy, it always gets
on to the Republican platform sooner or
later. For years u party has been
condemning the lease business while
Democracy has defended it. or at least,
while holding the power to have done so,
has made no effort to repeal it. Recent
events have made an impression that we
hope will result in good to the people
who are the commonwealth, and while
politicians are not TO be credited for the
agitation that brought about this Demo
cratic profession of a new sentiment, il
will be well all around if personal ambi.

would judge, and rightly, too, hat
the town was bright and lively, and
that the merchants were energetic
and enterprising. If, on the other
hand, the paper is dull in reading
and .slouchy in appearance, with
nothing but patent medicine ads,
one is apt to place a low estimate on
the town. Every business man of
repute should have his standing
displayed ad, and should as o
think of pulling down his sign as
stopping his advertising.
We are going to try our best to
put out a newspaper that will be a
credit to the town and county, but
to do it home advertisements are as
necessary as any matter that goes
into its columns. We can fill our
paper with foreign advertising, but
for the sake of the town, as well as
our own success, we don't want to
do it.
Now is the time to advertise.
Times are a little dull just now,
we admit, but that is all the more
reason you should advertise. Crops
have been very good, and the farm
ers will have more money to spend
this fall than they have had for some
time. Let us show you how neat
an ad we can make for your bust
ness. Rates will be given on APP
plication.
We would also suggest, incident
ally, hat this is an excellent time to

NITROGEN FOR WHEAT.

:. In experiments made at the Indiana
station TO find the form Of nitrogen best
adapted to wheat, and further, if there
was any advantage in fractional applica-
tons of the different forms, nitrogen was
applied to every alternate plat, so that
each plat that received nitrogen was COM
pared with plat on each side of it that
received no nitrogen. The plats were
forty-nine feet four inches by four feet.
In all the same amount of nitrogen was
applied to each plat receiving nitrogen.
On certain plats the nitrogen was all
applied In the fall, on others one half
was applied in the fall and one-half at
the opening of spring, and on others
one-third in the fall, one-third April Is
and one-third May Is, when the heads
were just appearing. The results showed
that in no case was any marked advan-
tage derived from fractional applications,
while in the case of the ammonia COM
pounds decided advantage arose from
making the full application in the fall.
Nitrate of soda gave gain of 98.4 per
cent. of grain and 1855 per cent. of
straw. Sulphate of ammonia gave a
gain of 64.6 per cent. of grain and 1873
per cent. of straw, while dried blood
gave gain of 54.4 per cent. of grain
and $50 per cent. of straw. From the
fact that the applications of nitrate in
one lot in the fall gave as good results
as those in three fractions, it is inferred
that there is really not so much danger
of loss of nitrates as many authorities
would lead us to beleve.-Neao York

A Church Built of Coral.

The Seychelles Islands, which are sup
posed by many to be the site of the
Eden of the Old Testament history, form
an archipelago of ia islands, and are
situated about 400 miles east of Alden,
and 1000 miles from Zanzibar. They
rise steeply out of the sea, eliminating
in the Isle of Maize, which is about 5000
feet above the level of the ocean, and is
nearly the centre of the group. ALI these
islands are of coral growth. The beaches
which surround them are the most
beautiful in the world, and are of white
calcereous sands inclosed in coral reefs
of the most subtitle and varied structure.
The reefs form a sort of wall around
the island, and when the suns rays fall
slanting on the sands the shore reflects
here and there light-tinted rainbows of
the most exquisite shades.
The houses are built of species of
massive coral hewn into square blocks,
which glisten like white marble and
show themselves to the utmost advantage
in the various tinted green of the thick
tropical palms, whose immense fern-like
leaves give pleasant and much needed
shade.
The palms grow as high as 100 feet
and more, overlapping both the houses
and the coral-built church. They line
the seashore and cover the mountains,
forming in many places extensive for
ests.-Boston Globe.

CuriOsities About Gold.

Gold is so very tenacious that piece
of it drawn Into wire one-twentieth Of an
inch in diameter will sustain weight of
500 pounds without breaking.
It's malleability is so great that single
grain may be divided into 1000, 900
parts and a cubic inch into 1888, oO9,
523 parts, each of which may be dis
tinctly seen by the naked eye.
A grain and a half of gold may be
beaten into leaves of one inch square,
which if intersected by parallel lines
drawn at right angles to each other and
distance only the one-hundredth part of
an inch, will produce 25,000,O 900 little
squares, each of which may be distinctly
seen without the use Of glass.
The surface of any given quantity of
gold, according to the best authorities,
may be extended by the hammer 80, 1S4
times. The thickness of the metal thus
extended appears to be no more than the
56S. 020th of an inch. Eight ounces OF
this wonderful metal would gid silver
wire of sufficient length to extend en-
tirely around the globe.-Rehoboth Sun

A SYMPOSIUM ON DEHoRv1SG.

The Orange County Farmer has made
up symposium of notes about the effects
of dehorning COWS. A writer in the Jer
sey Bulletin is fully persuaded that a
mooley bull can kill a man as easily as a
horned one, the only advantage IN his
favor being that he will not so badly
disfgure the corpse. Does he think the
Spaniards would enjoy bull fight with
the horns sawed off, That the mooley
bull or cow can hit a hard blow with
their heads is true, but as to being dan
gerous when any reasonable amount of
caution is used, we cannot see it. Again,
an English authority says the highest
English courts have unanimously de-
clared dehorning to be cruel and illegal.
The Scotch judges affirm that no cruelty
need be involved. Again, a Connec-
ticut farmer while crossing pasture went
out of his way to pat ''gentle" bull as
had been bis amiable but indiscreet Gus
tom. He was charged upon by the
treacherous beast and only rescued from
a horrible death by the timely arrival of
muscular neighbors who happened to
witness the danger. We remember old

fine Jersey bull that knocked him down,
put his horns on each side of his body
and pushed him down the hill, the grass
being nicely frosted. When both of them
reached large log Mr.. Swigert thought
his time had come, but he whipped out
large pocket knife and cut the bulls
throat.
Waldo F. Brown remarks that he is
of the opinion that in ten years from
now, or perhaps less, a herd of cattle
with horns will be as hard to find as a
herd of mooleys has been in the past.
The practice of dehorning is growing in
favor, and he has yet to find the man
who has dehorned a herd who is not
pleased with the results, and Mr.. Brown
might have added further that such a
man is not only pleased, but continues to
practice it.

TARRED PAPER FOR ROOFING.

. In using tarred felt for roofing the
poultry-house, it is important that coat
ing of gas-tar, or some such paint, be
applied as soon as the paper is put on.
This is a matter frequently neglected,
andthe consequence is that the paper is
more liable to be injured by strong winds.
The gas-tar should be applied every six
months until the roof is two years old.
After that time it will be thick roof,
and as hard as tin, lasting for many
years, and effectually keeping cut cold
and dampness. 1t only requires little
extra care for the first two years, when
it can be left to do service, and it will
prove to be as cheap and durable as any
roof that can be made.-Farns and Fire.

HOW TO DIVIDE YOUR HERD.

T A prominent authority in England On
butter and cheese maxim e says that the
dairy farmer, no matter of what country
he may be located to be successful should
divide his herd so as during the summer
season to make fine cheese, and during
the fall and winter to produce milk for
sale in city markets, or to be made up in
fine butter. as in this way the product is
more equalized the year through. The
same authority also advises the dairy
farmer not to keep cow that will not
average butter yield of two pounds per
day when her milk is manufactured into
butter.-American Dairynlan.

DOROTHY'S DIAMONDS.
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.

"You can't be in earnest, Dotty!" sail
Ralph Imray.
"But 1 am in earnest" protested
Dorothy, his wife. ''Why shouldn't I
be in earnest?"
Mr.. Imray laid down the pen with
which he had been following long
column of figures. He was bank &C
countant, and sometimes eked out his
small salary by bringing home the
books of neighboring firms to post after
his regular days work was over.
He looked 1ntently at Dorothy. Nor
was she by any means disagreeable
object to behold, as she sat by the
shaded lamp, stitching away ut piece
of yellow China silk which emphasized
her purple black masses of silky hair and
the jetty light of her long-lashed eyes.
Some people, to judge by appearances,
are born kitchen-maids; others are
prinoesses. And Dorothy Imray, albeit
her father was a master carpenter and
her husband bank clerk, was one of
natures aristocrats-slim,t aper-tingered
and wan-throated, with a delicate COM
plexion and profile that reminded one
of Roman cameo.
"Why shouldn't you be in earnest?"
repeated Ralph. because, Dotty,
there's fitness in all things. A poor
mans wife has no business to wear
diamonds"
''Mrs. Clifford wears them!" petulant-
ly retorted Dorothy. ''And Job Cliff
ford doesn't get any higher salary than
you do"
''But her father is a man of means,
Dotty."
''And Luella Dixon has the loveliest
1ace-bar! She showed it to me yester-
day"
'Dixon and differ materially in our
financial IDEAS" observed Imray, shrug-
ging his shoulders. eff a man owes
money, l, for one, don't regard it as a
very smart thing for his wife to be
Haunting around in costly jewels. Come,
Dot, give up the idea. Twenty years
from now l may be able to give you
diamonds"
Dorothy pouted. She sewed away
with little, swift jerks of the needle.
'Twenty years from now I shall be an
old woman" she uttered.
Mr.. Imray laughed
"I'Il risk that" said he. "No, Dotty,
if my wife were to come out in pair of
diamond earrings, my employers would
be quite justified in scrutinizing my &C
counts. The topaz ornaments / gave
you at our wedding were good enough
for you then. Why can't you be con-
tented with them now?"
Dorothy answered not word. The
needle seemed like a scimetar in the
lamphght; the rose.red lips were tightly
compressed; and Ralph resumed his pen,
with sigh.
! Dotty had "got into society" lately,
and the little home had never recovered
it's pleasant old-time aspect since.
Mrs. Job Clifford and Luella Dixon
were her models now, instead of kind
Aunt Rhoda and the rector's pretty
young wife.
The next day Mrs. Dixon called,
dressed in a fantastic combination suit,
with French hat, and real lace scarf
twisted loosely around her neck.
"Well, Dorothy" began she, <'What
did he say?" Mrs. Imray's pretty face
gloon2ed over.
'Just what I expected" said she.

In the same instant curious express

the little hunchback, madly swinging
his lantern to and fro. "All ashore!

And Dorothy had just enough strength
left to press her lips to Aunt Rhoda's
withered hand.

recovered, 'sif ever you are able to buy
