FACTS AND FINDINGS.


In one of the great Paris hospitals,
out of eightythree patients who suf-
fered from epilepsy sixty were found to
be the children of drunken parents.
The wealthy Turks drink great
deal of sake and rum, their excuse for
breaking Mahomet's command being
that he only prohibited the drinking of
wine.
The saloon is the enemy of every
laboring man and of every industry.
1t displaces what would, in its stead,
be market for bread, for cotton and
wool and everything which man could
eat or wear, or would answer to his
physical or mental faculties.
A CELEBRATED French juggler, when
asked about training, said: Don't

JUDGE SHERMAN, of the Norfolk
Mass superior criminal court, in sem
fencing G. II. Stackpole, for burning a
dwelling house, to fifteen years impris-

sir: liquor, sir. God knows | never
would have set the fire but for liquor,
SIR"
AT recent meeting of the Society
of Friends, in London, the subject of
the British opium traffic was very gen.
orally discussed Among the speakers
was missionary from central China,
Rev. Joseph 5. Adams, who told the
audience about little children in his
section of country who had been sold
for immoral purposes to buy opium for
their debauched fathers.
TEMPERANCE advocates will rejoice
to learn that there are six less brewers
in the new British parliament than in
its predecessor. The fact will cause
certain very philanthropic ladies basis
for congratulation that their labors
have not been in vain. 1t will be a
great day for England when the work.

drink. They will make better tenants
and will be able to pay higher rents.
This will make the rich more prosper.

AN UNKNOWN CREATURE.
What Writer Thinks of the business
Women of Chicago.

What a Writer Thinks of the business
Women of Chicago.
The newest item of all to the rural
or semi-rural visitor is the field into
which woman has entered For the
living-earning woman is new crca-
ture IN this world, who in manner de-
fies all instinct and tradition. How
many thousands of her there may be
here the writer does not know, but she
! is everywhere. The vast emporiums ct
trade. at the size and business and ex,
tent of which the Oldest resident can
never cease to wonder, are full of her.
Where the clang of falling iron re-
sounds all day long; where endless
wheels dizzily and ceaselessly turn, she
has her corner. In the crowded world
she can no longer wait Wind and
storm must no longer delay her.
Time must be to her now rs it is to q
man. with the curse of Eden ineXorably
upon her, bearing all the burdens of her
nature. She has entered into the con-
test by tens of thousands. Age, mis-
fortunes, widowhood have nothing to
do with it. And how does it affect her?
| Not at all Here, then, oh stranger,
from green fields and outrageous
woods, is the strangest puzzle of all the
CITY offers YOU. We have unseXed the
world, and left it essentially unchanged.
This is still the woman to whom you
will offer your seat in the crowded car.
1t is still she whose face is unsmirched
by the glare of publicity, and to whom
daintiness and femininity remain as
ever. You may as well confess, in your
hours of calm reflection, that Chicago
and her streets and marts have taught
you one more lesson, given you one new
item, about that incomprehensible crea-
ture who is your mother, your sister
and your wife, but whom you will never
entirely comprehend, should you live a
thousand years. -Belford's Monthly.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-11-16

and pardonable, and she was asked
what she did. II cut and split cord
wood" she said, as if it were the most
ordinary and natural pursuit in which
q woman could engage.
''Cut and split cordwood?" her ques-
toner repeated in astonishment, and
then asked hoy she ever accomplished
such feat.
well, | would pick out smallish trees
and cut them down and then split them
into the right length. He told me to
hire somebody" she explained, with
that loyalty which most women show
in defending the most unsatisfactory
husband from implications of neglect.
You see," she explained, after vindi-
eating him." that the men were all
busy cutting wood to pay the taxes on
their own land and couldn't spare any
time to help me. / just had it to do OF
! know'd we'd starve. Once | froze my
hands and feet terribly. 1t was way
below zero, and worked all day. When
l came in at night and put my hands in
water the ice ca.ied over 'em in min.
ute. l was laid up good while, but ]
got over it." And she smiled hopefully,
as if it were a trouble past and done
with.
She was congratulated on her change
of fortunes, for she said that her young
orchard was now bearing, and she sold
all the fruit she could haul to town.
But he's gettin' dissatisfied and wants
to move west" she said, snow that the
railro ads just come through and our
lands worth somethin'."
1t would have been impossible not to
warn her against 'his" bad advice, and
to remind her that as the railroad
brought more people and extended in
dustries into the country, the farm
would continue to increase in value,
that nothing would be gained by
change, and that inevitably, much
would be lost
She listened and acquiesced, but it is
quite probable that if "he" urges it, she
will follow him to some other new coun-
try and continue to feed him with a
spoon and cut cordwood to support him
in his old age when the children are
fedged and gone.
This interesting experience proves
two things: First, that, however out OF
the ordinary or seemingly impossible it
may be, the average woman will set
herself at work upon the duty that lies
nearest, whether that be cutting cord
wood or peddling apples. For
the cheerful and heroic soul was
just the average woman, nothing more.
She had good hard sense, devotion tc
those whom she loved and for whom
she made herself willing sacrifice,
and these are the attributes of the av'
erage woman as we see her every day.
1t proves, in the second place, that
unusual work does not lessen a woman's
obedience to "his' wishes, however i'm
practical, and that her nature is moi
inherently changed by any of the vicis
STUDIES of her daily life, whatever they
may be. This, however. will not en-
tighten those who are the blindest O
the blind, in that they will not see. The
learned dissertations upon the limita
lions of sex will continue, just as if they
were not daily and hourly disproved by
actual fact Inter Ocean

Fertility OF the soiE
The farmer who bHys u large portion
of the food for his stock not only takes
advantage of the opportunity of con-
verting raw material" from elsewhere
into meat butter, milk and cheese, but
he brings upon his farm fertilizers that
are more complete in their relative
proportions Of available plant foods
that can be intelligently selected by
him in the shape Of commercial fer
tilizera
If a careful analysis of the foods
could be made before feeding, and the
manure computed according to the MAJ
terials from which It Is produced, it
would be demonstrated that there
is no better mode of buying fertilizers
than to procure the cheap grain stuffs,
such as bran, middlipgs, etc, and con-
vert a portion into some salable
article, retaining the remainder in
the shape of manure to be used on the
farm.
The true value of any material used
as food for stock is not only according
to its proportion of nitrogen, phos-
pilates and carbon contained, but in
the d~igestibility of the foods also. No
food, however rich It may be in the ele-
ments necessary for satisfying the de-
mands of the animals, will prove salts
factory unless it can be dlgestad; but
as there Is no waste or loss of any ma
terial consumed, the undigested pors
tions are voided as manure. Just what
this manur is worth to the farmer
depends upon the constituents of the
food and its value after the digestible
portions have been utilized by the an
finals.
A ton of bran selling at S22 has q
fertilizing value of S1A. In other words,
if the value of the bran as food be
overlooked, the cost of the bran as
manure is $14, and the cost of the
meat, milk, etc, depends upon how
large aportion of the bran is converted
into those articles, the mauurial value
of the bran if it is used as a fertilizer
by direct application to the soil being
STA
All foods become better prepared as
fertilizers when they are passed
through the body of the animal, as
they are then decompoSed and also
changed in composition. Green foods
do not produce as much fertilizing
matter as dry foods, because they con-
tain more water and are better di-
gested and assimilated, and as bran IL
not e alone or exclusively. A ton OF
manure from many different foods may
not possess a value exceeding 81 or So.
Much depends on the stock. Growing
animals use more mineral matter and
more nitrogen, while fattening ami.
mails appropriate more carbon. The
manure from matured steers is there.
fore of more value than that from
young stock or from COWS, as less is re-
quired to supply the wants of the ami.
NAL, and this difference in animals and
foods is something which demands the
close attention of the farmer.-Phila.
