fathers, we hand it down TO the lips OF
our children, and tell them to sound it
when we are dead, that all the genera
tions of men may know that our God is
pardoning Coda sympathetic God
a loving God-and that more to him than
the anthems of heaven; more to him
than the throne on which he sits; more
to him than are the temples of celestial
worship is the joy of seeing the wan
derer putting his hand on the door latch

DR.. Prime, in his book of wonderful
interest entitled around the World"
describes q tomb in India of marvellous
architecture. Twenty thousand men
were twenty two years in erecting that
and the buildings around it. Standing
in that tomb, if you speak or sing, after
you have ceased you hear the echo COM
ing from q height of one hundred and
fifty feet. 1t is not like other echoes
The sound is drawn out in sweet pro-
longation, as though the angels of God
were chanting on the wing. How many
souls in the tomb of sin will lift up the
voice of penitence and prayer? If now
they would cry unto God the echo would
drop from afar, not struck from the
marble cupola of an earthly mausoleum,
but sounding back from the warm heart
of angels flying with the news, for there
is joy among the angels of God over one
sinner that repenteth!

KILLED BY Il KISS.

The Snow came down like fine
gauze. The people fitted by the coro-
ner's office with collars turned up and
heads bowed to the storm.
This weather reminds me, said Coro
ner Jenkins to the group about him,
of such a day about two years ago.
I was requested to investigate a case
of sudden death. [ had often heard
of persons dying of fright, but I was
not prepared to believe it. Upon be-
ing conducted into the parlor / was
informed by the owner, well known
merchant, that his daughter had died
under peculiar circumstances. She
had arisen apparently in good health
and high spirits.
While she was seated at the table
talking with her mother her brother,
who was about to leave for business,
came up behind her stealthily and kiss
ed her full it the mouth before she
was aware who it was. The girl
screamed, sank back in a dead faint
and when she was brought to went
into commissions and died before at
tendance could arrive.

An artist, an author and a society
woman recently compared their views
upon the period in life when woman
is at her best. The artist said that
portraits of women should not be
made between % and 40, for the face
has an expectancy which charms, and
after 40 the character is formed and
revealed in the line of the face.
The author liked to study women
between the ages of so and 40, because
they then had the experience of the
world and the joyousness of youth.
The society lady was of the opinion
that from Is to % was the time when
women were most gently fascinating.
1t is interesting to remember in con-
nection with this many of the women
who have been famous for their beau
ty and fascination for men and achiev-
ed their greatest triumphs between
the ages of 80 and 49, Josephine was
33 when she married Napoleon, and
judging from letters written by the
absent husband during the early
years of their union she inspired the
redoubtable soldier with more intense
love and jealous. 1t is claimed by
many writer's that she was the only
woman Napoleon ever really loved.
Cleopatra was nearer 40 than 80 when
Mark Antony fell beneath her spell,
and the most beautiful woman, Helen
of Troy, was long past 80 when the
Trojan heroes fought their famous
battles for her sake.

almost frozen. When we stopped for

smoke stack and the boiler, and soon
seemed to get thawed out. When we
started again they flew along close to
the engine to keep warm. Going on
a down grade of 45 miles in length we

elements named, and thus pay out money for ingredients his land has no
tanning only one of the elements, unless he knows that that Is just what
his land and crop wants. Chemistry will not give the information so far
as the land goes with sufficient accuracy. Nature is much more delicate
If the farmer who is not raising enough wheat to the acre to satisfy
age acre of his wheat land, pillow and prepare uniformly, sow to wheat,
divide into 10 equal plats, and upon these put different kinds Of fer
tIizeIs, commercial and homemade, leaving one or two of the p!ats
unfhtllzed,, nature will answer his inquiry in the results more satisfac-
torny than it can be in any other way. Leaving two Of the plots
solved bone black which would supply phosphoric acid at the rate of so
pounds to the acre. On another put Is pounds of muiate of potash sup
plying potash at the rate Of 50 pounds to the acre; and on a third put 1s
to the acre.. On another one put two of the three substances named,
nitrate of soda and bone black and muriate of potash and bone black on
another and nitrate of soda and muriate of potash on the next one and on
100 pounds of bone meal can be used. By noting the growth during the
season, and by harvesting, weighing and threshing the crops separately
one will be able to tell quite accurately what the soil Of that farm needs
for wheat production, and in practically no other way can this be specific
ally determined.
But unless one wants to continue a particular crop year after year on
the same land it is not necessary that he know exactly what is lacking in
the soil that he may avoid waste of material. If he will again look to
nature and follow her plain teachings he will not follow continuous crop
ping, but will rotate. By so doing if a general fertilizer is used and the
first crop does not require all of the plant food it contains, another crop
having different requirements following next year will make use of the
surplus providing it has not been lost by drainage and teaching. Hence, it
is that the farmer should know something of the composition and feeding
character of his crops.

On the first of August the estimated percentage condition of Corn was
higher in Missouri than in any of the seven great corn producing States
IND required only continued favorable conditions to make an average crop.
ETe favorable conditions did not continue, however, and the consequent
|drop in the estimated percentage condition is due, in a measure at least, to
THE depressed spirits of the farmers, and a greater loss is estimated, prob
|aMy, than will be found to have occurred.
The drouth and heat of August were relieved only BY local showers,
BADLY distributed, although in many places the corn has not suffered tor
moisture, and reports made since the good general rain of the 27th uIt. are
much more cheerful. With good seasonable weather 8 much higher per-
[eentage condition will be justified q month hence.
The condition of corn at this date in 1891 was but IS per cent, but,
Ef course, there ID greater reason to fear damage from frost this season
lowing tot the late planting. Many correspondents say the late corn will
mot be safe from frost until October 1.
Wheat varied in yield, some threshing returns not nearly equalng
anticipation, while IN the southern and southwest counties the yield was
above earlier estimates Some of the grain is bleached and shriveled, but it
s generally Of good quality, and the crop as q whole equals the estimates
made from this Office early in the season.
The later and fuller the returns the worse appears the oat crop.
Buckwheat continues to do well.
Irish potatoes are very poor, some counties in North Missouri report
ing the "nearest a failure in thirty years"
Sweet potatoes continue in better condition than the Irish, but do not
promise SO good q crop as last year.
The month was quite favorable for the tobacco crop, which Isl in good
condition.
Cotton and sorghum continue to improve.
There is no improvement in the fruit prospect; apples and peaches
continue to decline, and grapes do not equal the condition popularity
Eedited to them, and from carefully compiled returns will not exceed for

The long, cold, wet spring combined with little feed and want of care

stride forward, is not questioned.
During the winter of 1s90-s1 the Missouri State Board of Agriculture
inaugurated the first systematic movement in favor of good roads by having
the subject discussed in all of the series of farmers Institutes held that
season. In September of 1891, the Board held the great trial of road
machines at Mexico, Mo-, the first of the kind ever held on so large a scale.
This attracted widespread attention, and the great interest awakened was
the first manifestation that the people were becoming aroused to the import
ance Of good roads. Discussion of the subject was continued at the meet
ings held by the Board during the winter of 1s9l-es, and a number of
local road improvement societies were formed, the first being at Fulton,
made president of the society, a fitting recognition of his years of personal
effort in this cause.
On March 81 at a meeting of the Board of Agriculture, the Secretary of
the Board was authorized to arrange for a State Roads improvement Con-
yention during the coming summer. The meeting just held at Chinicothe
was the result Of that action. In the meantime. during May last, the
