4 Skeleton il the CRYSTAL.

The aged DR.. Collier relates the FOL
lowing: In 1912 al old and worthy
friend, of whose strict veracity haven't
the least possible doubt, came from Burn
ham, England, with a relative to trans
act some business in London. During
the time of my absence from home with
this relative, my friend. through sheer
curiosity, took up a small oval mounted
crystal which stood near him on a table.
and began TO examine it. After looking
at it intently for few minutes and try
ing tC guess, as he afterwards told me,
what on earth such novelty could be
used for, he noticed that the surface of
the instrument became clouded. This
he at first attributed to his having blown
his breath upon it. He tried to remove
the de~-like cloud with his handkerchief,
but his efforts seemed to increase the
cloudiness. Presently the cloud took
upon itself the form of the legs of an
ostrich, the toes and nee-joints being
clearly outline. For q second thev
seemed to open and close at the joints
like pair of calipers. While gazing in
awe-stricken wonder and amazement at
this uncanny exhibition Of the supernat-
ural, my friend noticed that the figure
was slowly but surely changing its form.
The ostrich legs had become those of a
CHASTITY human skeleton, and almost in
stantly the final change came, which
converted the cloudiness of the upper
part Of the glass into ribs, vertebfe, long,
bony arms, the whole surmounted by a
hideous, grinning skull. At this junct-
ure, according to my friends story, he
began to feel great oppression in the
region of the chest and numbness and
giddiness in the head. He lost no time
in replacing the crystal upon the table,
and says that it was some hours before
he was able to throw off the unpleasant
sensation which his curious experience
produced.
1t was not until nearly two years after
this that he ventured to tell me of the
circumstance; even then could not in
duce him to inspect the crystal again.
In conclusion may remark that the
dear friend, who was absent with me at
the time, died at about the time Mr.
b saw the skeleton dancing in the
crystal st. Louis Republic

HOW TO SUPPLY PLANT FOOD.

It is Of great advantage to farmers and
horticulturists, to understand the me-
thods by which plants take up their
food from the soil, thinks A. B. Barrett,
for it will enable one to understand the
special needs of his soil much better.
There must be an economy in feeding
plants. as we'll as in feeding animals, and
as the needs of plants are better under
stood the more we are enabled to prac-
tice this. A great part of the manure
that has been applied to plants has been
lost simply owing to ignorance on this
subject. The true economy in feeding
plants is to know the value of rotation
of crops. Special functions are per-
formed by different crops, and they live
on different substances IN the soil and
air. The corn crop, for instance, has
the great power of growing almost con-
tinuously upon the same soil, or at least
until the nitrates of the soil are ex
hausted. In time they carry away
great deal of nitrogen, which weakeEs
the soil for certain other plants.
While the corn crop can grow for
long period upon the native soil which
has not been MANFRED, the root crop on
the other hand depends largely upon
manures we'll supplied with phosphates.
They also exhaust the soil of nitrates,
but not quite so rapidly as the corn.
The leguminous plants, clover especially,
are said to return nitrogen to the soil,
and are great crops to follow the corn.
1t is somewhat doubtful about the clover
plants gathering their nitrogen from the
air, as some claim, but if not from the
atmosphere the long roots bring it up
from the sub-soil. By the long roots
they stir up the soil and collect 5:utiiti-
Gus material which the other crops fail
to reach. These crops are more depend
ent upon soil and climate than upon
manures for their growth.
The true theory of cultivating the
soil then is to economic in manure con-
sistently, and to use the other simple
methods which nature gives us. Nutri-
fcation of the soil has to take place in
the spring before the plants can grow,
and this is forwarded by good blowing
and stirring, 50 that the sun and air can
work upon it. Thorough cultivation is
thus often more essential than manure.
a Judicious rotation of crops. including
the three different kinds Of plants, corn
or wheat, roots and cloyers, should also
be adopted, to get the most benefit from
the soil. In this way less manure will
DC required, and the soil will always be

There is no better material for a roof
than pine, cypress, or cedar shingles.
Metal roofs are not nearly so durable as
those of shingles, and these, if painted,
will be doubly durable. The only metal
that is really desirable for roof is cop
per, which is practically imperlshable.
But the cost at present is too great as
compared with shingles. In laying a
single roof it is best to put the roofing
paper under the boards, as there is then
no danger of the gathering of moisture
and consequent decay of the shingles.
The wind is kept out quite as we'll in
this way. The shingles are better pre-
served by dipping in crude petroleum
before being laid, by which they are
made water proof, and the durability is
much increased. The frame of wood
en- house may be filed in with concrete
or soft brick, but this filling is no better
so far as concerns the warmth of the
building than lining of tarred building
paper under the outer covering of the
walls and the inner lining. York

My garden is ten rods long and eight

as soon in spring as it gets dry enough to
work well. While blowing [ call all my
hens in, say $50, to pick up the worms;
they have a feast. The next day harrow
fine, and plant and do all can to keep
the hens at work to get rid of worms. |
then SOW all small seeds in rows the
whole length of garden, as s. raight as a
line can be drawn, twenty-eight inches
apart, raking wide enough for one row,
and draw line and mark with end of hoe
handle close to line about an inch deep.
Then / sow the seeds, such as beets, let
tuce, onions, cabbage, carrots, spinach,
parsnips, tomatoes, etc. remove the
line and pat the dirt on the seeds with
the back of the rake, so as to cover
the seeds about half an inch
deep, and they always grow.
Next, rake enough for another row and
SOW, and so on until all the small seed
are sown. plant two rows of English
multiplier OniOns-one row OF large and
one of smalI-in the same way, only use
the corner of the hoe for a marker, for
they must be planted deeper, and a
couple of rows of peas foot apart; cover
as before with back of rake, and pat the
soil firm; they are sure to grow. Treat
cucumbers, squash, beans, etc., the same,
only farther apart; potatoes, three feet;
corn p feet. The whole garden is
planted in rows lengthwise. 1t is a great
pleasure to run good cultivator up and
down between the rows and see the weeds
turn up their toes and die. Try this plan,
dear reader. I let hens roam over my
garden all they wish, and somehow they
don't scratch up anything, perhaps be-
cause feed them every day and have no
dog. 1t may be they don't know where
the seeds are. One thing [ know, all
passers-by look with admiration, and
often say, "Oh, see what splendid gar

Habits OF the Moose

J. G. Lockhart says that moose
generally lie with the tail windward.
trusting to their senses of hearing and
smelling, which are remarkably acute, to
warn them of approaching danger from
that quarter, using their eyes to warn
them from danger to leeward. While
they are sleeping or chewing the cud,
their ears are in perpetual motion, one
forward, the other backward alternately.
Mr.. Lockhart also claims that the moose
has the remarkable habit of making
short turn and sleeping below the wind
of their fresh track, so that any one
falling thereon and following it up is
sure to be heard or smelled before he can
get within shooting distance. Boston

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Feathers are good fertilizers.
Keep the poultry quarters dry.
The seed Of cannas ought to be planted
early.
Arrange to have the nests dark, espe-
cially for sitting hens.
Geese, turkeys, ducks and guineas
thrive best with good range.
Keep the goose feathers separate from
the duck and chicken feathers.
Pekin ducks can readily be kept on
farms where there are no ponds.
To make young ducks profitable their
growth must be pushed from the start.
When the young chickens are afflicted
with leg weakness, feed them bone

The secret of success in the poultry
yard is not in the Matching but in the
feeding.
Generally it is not a good plan to at

A Promising Situation.
New York Daily Investigatory


Good judges say that one Of the next 10.
calitles to achieve distinction by jumping
from a substantial town to a thriving me.
tropolis in a few years will be the city o.
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, with
out the effort and struggle through which
inferior towns have passel while eff.
fecting the same result. Until q year
or two ago the average man did not stop to
think that Superior as monopolist OF the
water and rail termini at one end OF th7
lakes is in the same position as Buffalo a
the other end. Figures are uninterestin2
unIess given briefly, but comparisons
are always important. This little Su
perior, credited by its last census w :
only 1000 people, handled 4Iore
coal last year than did Chicago; OF grain
it shipped nineteen million bushels, of -four
sixteen hundred thousand barrels, OF wool
tour million pounds, and of merchandise
to the value OF thirteen million dollars
OF all lake cities this business was
second onIy to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this
condition OF things. 1t is that the rail
rate on freight sent west of Lake Michi-
gan is one cent per ton per mile, while
the water rate is One-tenth of one cent per
ton per mile This position at the ex-
treme western end of Lake Superior is

enterprises in the past eighteen months, in

lutionizing the lake and ocean freight

lions above mentioned include iron and steel
plants, -four mills. stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, ship builders and
saw and Single mills. The most conser-
vative business in the Northwest
believe that Superior will grow faster
in the next ten years than any
other city in that prosperous section of the
country, and many OF them claim that
Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis ami Nil

that will come to the head OF the great chain
