San FRANCISCO. April 11.-Since Claus
Spreckels. the sugar millionaire. returned
here. there have been many conjectures As to
tho real status Of the compromise between
him and the Sugar Trust Some OF the trust
people declared that the combine had brought
Spreckcls to his milk. while Spreck els friends
assert that he had practically made his own
terms. To-day one OF Spreckels's most init.
mate friends gave new facts In regard to the
recent dicker between the California sugar
king and the trust. He said:
The formation Of the trust about hve yeare
ago was u surprise to Srreckels. but he was
stil more surprised when the trust gave him
the option OF going In with them or being
crushed. Their offensive way OF bluffing him
aroused the old mans wrath. and he deeed
them to do their worst. While they were lay.

In China all the land belongs to the
State, and trifing sum per acre,
never altered through long centuries,
is paid for it by the occupier as rent.
The soil in China is so rich that the
holdings are generally very small, and
it has been estimated that q square
mile is capable of supporting 3,840
persons. In this country, nominally,
owners of the land hold it Of the
Crown.
Although, however, as admitted by
Lord Bramwell in letters to the Times,
this is technically true, yet it is most
misleading, as owners of a fee simple
estate in the land in this country
have for all practical purposes an
absolute ownership in the land they
hold. Ii an owner dies lntestate With
out heirs his land reverts to the
Crown, though the owner had the
power of disposal had he SO wished,
Under similar circumstances a mans
personal property as well as his land.
If he dies intestate with no next OF
kin, goes to the Crown.

Effects of Commercial Fertilizers.

Effects of Commercial Fertilizers.
One of the most scientific agricultur-
lists now living, DR.. J. B. Lawes, of
Rothamstead, Eng, has given, as the
result of his own observations, the
following points with respect to the
effects of the use ofcommercial fertiliz-
ers under varying circumstances,
He has found, 1, that a superphos-
phate has caused a considerable in
crease in each crop or rotation.
although used without any other
manure, ready for period OF thirty
years; 2, that, in consequence of the
fact that grain contains large quanti-
ties of nitrogen and phosphoric acid,
and small quantities of potash,
manures containing soluble nitrogen,
such as ammonia or nitric acid, are
especially adapted to these crops; B,
that when crops containing large
quantities Of potash, such as roots,
potatoes and hay, are sold off the
farm, manures containing potash
appears to be the most suitable; 4,
that although potash, phosphoric
acid and nitrogen are the chief manure
ingredients in barnyard manure, the
manure made from artificial foods
and in artificial manures, nevertheless
the difference in form with which
these substances are met greatly eff
feet their value.
The practical teaching Of these OBJ
servations, in that analysis of the
various forms of manure no not, and
perhaps cannot, sufficiently dlscrim-
mate between them; and hence, as we
have heretofore suggested, the work
of the analyst must be supplemented
by practical tests on the farm where
the fertilizers are to be used, III order
to arrive at just estimate of value
and adaptability. The farmer is
greatly indebted to the scientists
and especially to such scientists
rs DR.. Lawes, who unite great theoret-
ical learning with practical knowledge
but he cannot substitute any mans
experience in applied science for his
own.
Yet such conclusions as those we
have noted above are of very great
value to every farmer who will take
account of and test them in his own
experience They are guideposts.

housed in Bedlam, undergoing the re-
freshing discipline of the straight-jack-
ct and the shower bath, said Blewitt.
NIorriss laughed incredulously; and
the friends having reached the end OF
their argument and the corner of the
street at the same moment, parted,
and each went-his own way.
Blewitt and Morriss had been school
mates. neighbors, and friends from
boyhood. They were both of the
same age-hopeful twenty-five. But
Blewitt, the junior partner in stock
brokers' firm, was the tallest, hand
soonest, and richest man of the two,
and consequently had seen more of
life than his simpler friend.
The origin of the argument with
which the chapter opens was this
The young men had been attending
evening service in Dissenting chapel,
in which O. highly celebrated popular
preacher had held forth upon the
fearful text that "Liars shall have
their portion in the lake that burneth
with fire and birthstone for ever and
ever"
This preacher spared neither rich
nor poor, age nor sex. man, woman,
nor child, IN his fierce denunciation of
the daily, universal, crying sin of false
hood. In his notoriously blunt
manner and pure Saxon, he told the
lords and ladies present, whom
curiosity had drawn to hear this
modern John Knox, that they lied to
each other, to their friends, and to
the world; that they lied in their
chambers, in their drawing-rooms,
and, Heaven mend them, even in the
church OF God! He told the trades
men and tradeswomen that their
business was founded upon falsehood;
the professional men that they lived
by lying; and the little children that
they told falsehoods by signs long be-
fore they were able to do so by speech.
He threatened them all with the
warmest corner OF that warm lake.
Near the close of his sermon, the
storm of denunciation dissolved in a
shower decomposition, and with tears
in his eyes, he in.plored his hearers
"to reform" this sinfnl habit "alto-
gether;;" TO make beginning; to try,
by the grace of God, to speak the
truth, if only for O. week-for day
and see how much better it would be!
The congregation had left the church,
making various comments upon this
extraordinary sermon.
Blewitt and Morriss had been among
tho hearers. Morriss thought truth
telling an easy matter, and Blewitt
took him up, and bound him by q
pledge to try it for a given time, as
has been said.

SWALLOWED THE LEECH.
A Miner Who AcQ uired a Poor
Opinion Of the BIoodsucker,

A Miner Who Acq uired a Poor
Opinion Of the BIoodsucker,
The other day a couple of gentle
men, one of them city official, were
in a drug store while the clerk was ty-
ing up several leeches that the doctor
had ordered. At the sight of the coty-
oids the official be gan to smile and
then broke out into a hearty laugh,
the worms evidently bringing to mind
some amusing incident. At last he
said:
81 never see a leech or hear the
word but what I think of an occur
renee that happened in q small min
ing camp in Arizona, long before I
came to Butte. In one of the mines
brawny Irishman was employed as
miner. One day he broke his
shoulder and we packed him to his
boarding house. The nearest doctor
was thirty miles away and q messen-
ger was sent for him. In the meantime
the boys had engaged aharum scarum
fellow known as Billy Moore to act as
nurse for the injured miner.
"The next morning the doctor ar
rived, and after fixing up Pats shoul-
der he left directions with Moore what
to do, and also gave him some leeohes,
two of which he instructed him to ap-
ply to Pats shoulder, and then went
away. Pat happened to be asleep at
the time and the doctor told Moore not
to arouse him, but to wait until he
awoke and then place the leeches as
directed. AS soon as the docror was
gone Moore slipped out and took O.
number of drinks, and when he re-
turned to Pats room he was pretty
full. Pat was awake and asked if the
doctor had left any medicine for him.
Moore produced the leeches and said:
eyes, lots of it, and he told me to
give you two of these ewhenyoua awoke.
I'll be-if l know what they are, but
you've got to take 'em.'
With this he compelled poor Pat to
swallow one of the leeches. The effort
almost killed him, but he managed to
get the thing down some way and
took q big drink of water to take the
taste out of his mouth. Moore then
got another leech and, insisted that
Pat should take it also. Pat looked
at it awhile and then said:
"No, Billy, I'll dol, 1t, but Til
not take another wan o. thin things
