A Great Tailor Dies.

A French military tailor of great re-
nown has lately joined the majority,
after having outlived by more than a
score of years the period of splendor and
extravaganza, in connection with army
uniforms, which set in under the regime
of the first consul, and came to close
simultaneously with the fall of the Sec
ond empire. NJ. Paule. the ''artist" in
question, whose funeral took place in
Paris recently, had himself been IA SOL
der before the thirties, and on the ac-
cession of Charles x was transferred
from the stately corps of the guard
cuirrassiers to crack hussar regiment,
in which his sartorial talent soon en-
abled him to attain the position of
"tailleur en- Chef His reputation for
good taste and correct judgment spread
rapidly throughout the French army, so
that in course of time the clothing board
accustomed itself to consult him re-
specting all important changes in uni
forms and equipments, and it became
his privilege to set the fashions for the
French cavalry in particular.
Paules influence endured through the
reigns of the citizen king and of "the
nephew of his uncle" The late en-
peror held Paule's gifts in such high es-
timation that he would not wear any
military dress which had not been
turned out by the famous ex-hussar,
who was, moreover, honored by spe-
cial command to Create" the first uni
form-that of grenadier Of the guard
ever induced by the prince imperial.
Paule's taste seems to have suited Le-
gitimists, Orleanists and Bonapartists
equally wen.-London Standard.

A Queer Silver wedding Performance.

A Queer Silver Wedding Performance.
Thursday was the twenty-fifth ami
versary of an Augusta couples marriage.
On that morning the husband, upon
awakening, asked his wife how they
should celebrate their silver we'd
ding The wife did not suggest any
particular observance of the day. The
husband then said Shall we remarry
or separate" The wife said it was i'm
material to her either way, and what
suited him would satisfy her. He then
said he would just as leave part as not.
The wife acquiesced, and she packed up
her trappings and left the house, and
they have remained apart ever since,
and neither have sought the other or
proposed reunion or any other sort of
celebration. n.-Augusta News.

Following an Apparition's Advice

AtAlbanya a night or two ago a negress
dreamed that an Indian angel appeared
and, lowering over her couch, impaired
to her the spot where a golden treasure
lies hidden. When she awoke she told
her husband of it and described the spot
as being on the east side of Flint river,
about hundred yards below the bridge.
Together they repaired to the spot, the
husband armed with pick, spade and
shovel, and as his wife located the spot
he set to work and has dug large hole.
He has not found the treasure yet, but
is still digging. While he digs his wife
sits on the bank praying devoutly and
earnestly. Savannah News

Democrats Will Do 1t.

Under Democratic supremacy nearly
so per cent. of American commerce
was carried in American bottoms under
the stars and stripes, while under Re-
publican supremacy our carrying power
has been reduced to less than 30 pei
cent. If our merchant marine and a
United States navy are ever restored
it will have to be done by their friend
the Democratic party. Nothing can
ever he expected in this direction from
the Republican party, the party that
allowed our navy to go to decay and
drove from the high seas our merchant
marine by its sensIess and burdensome
high protection policy.
1t remained for Democratic admin
istration, under the supervision of Sec
retary fthe Navy William G. Whitney
to begin the work and it will be carried
on after next March by another
Democratic administration. Nothing
but adoption and enforcement of the
Democratic principles Of tariff will ever
restore our merchant marine.-Rdtn

FERTILIZERS ON CORN AND OATS
Scientific Experiments Made at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station,

The March number of the Bulletin
of the Ohio Experiment Station Is de-
voted to a report of experiments with
fertilizers on corn and oats, made in
1891, with summary of the work of
the preceding three years.
These experiments have been con-
Quoted at the station farm and at CO.
lumbiana, Huron, Butler aud Wash
ington counties on the same general
plan in which materials carrying nit
rogen, phosphoric acid and potash
have been applied separately and in
combination Of two or of all three to
separate plots Of land, the plots being
separated by narrow alleys and every
third plot in the series being left un-
fertilized for comparison.
successive crops have been grown on
the same land, beginning with a crop
on clover sod In 1883, which yielded at
the rate of ninety bushels of shelled
corn per acre on the unfertilized plots
In 1889 the same plot yielded sixty-two
bushels per acre, In 1890 forty-six and
half bushels, In 1891. fifty-seven
bushels, the season of 1891 being quite
similar to that for 1889.
In 1883 no increase of crop could be
traced to the fertilizers; apparently the
clover sod furnished the crop with all
the plant food 1t could make use of. In
1889 there was little evidence of ben
eft, and by the fourth season of con-
tinuous cropping, 1891, the differance
between the fertilized and unfertillzed
plots had risen to about eleven and q
half bushels on the average of the plots
where nitrogen was used, either alone
or In combination with surperhosphate
and potash; but where nitrogen was
omitted there was practically no in
crease Of crop.
As the fertilizers which produced thie
increase cost from four to ten dollars
per acre it will be seen that the margin
for profit was generally on the wrong
side Of the ledger.
On another series of plots at the
station corn is being grown in rotation
with other crops, the rotation being
corn, oats and wheat, one year each,
following corn, oats and wheat, one
year each, followed by two years of
timothy and clover. This rotation is
not yet fully established, and the corn
of 1891 followed two successive croI 9

twenty dollars in gold coin and fifty

and its digestive organs examined, but

Uncle Sans Treasure Vaults insecure


The report of the committee of experts
says the whole system of vaults and
safes wherein are stored the treasure of
the government is defective. Vault No.
! in the treasury building is absolutely
valueless as protection to its contents.
Other vaults named in the report are
also described as practically valueless.
The commission recommends that with
such immense values at stake the gov
ernment should Immediately adopt
throughout a system Of the best modern
vaults with the most perfect locking ar
rangements.
They urge the replacing Of every
vault in the treasury building with new
ones. In rebuilding the vaults they
should be SO constructed that they can
be at all times inspected from every side.
The report says that the vaults in the
subtreasury in New York are all safer
than the vaults at Washington. Wash

First Identified by His Dog.

Harry Ainsworth, sporting man, was
killed at Stockton by the engine of the
local train from San Francisco. The
body was found ten minutes after the
train passed. The head Of the remains
lay near the end Of the railroad tie. His
dog, a setter, was let into the morgue,
and after running about the box a few
times, the animal jumped up and caught
hold of the lapel of the coat on the de-
deased, as if trying to pull him out of
the box. It was this recognition that
convinced the people who were there
that the deceased was Harry Ainsworth.
Later the body was positively identified.
