Fun In a Boarding House.

Considering all the pleasures Of board
ing house life, especially the gentle ex-
citements connected Herewith, it is very
strange that people are beginning more
and more to desert these interesting hui
man meaageries and choose instead that
compromise between purgatory and
housskeeping-life in fiat, In the large
cities enormous apartment houses are
being erected in ever increasing num-
bers, and the better class Of them, par
ticularly those supplied with steam or
furnace heat, All rapidly,
But what right minded person would
not choose boarding house instead,
where you never have to mind your own
business at all. for your fellow boarders
always mind it for your If you are Wild
ow, they find out exactly when your hus-
bandshuffied off this mortal coil and what
he died Of II you are widower, they
know just how often you glance across
the dining room ut the pretty typewriter.
If there is any unusual noise in your
roeni, they even apply their eyes and
ears to your keyhole to see if something
is not going on in there prejudicial to
good morals They are death on good
morals-other peoples, that is--the
jewellers in the average boarding house.
Not only ladies who have nothing to do
but attend to their neighbors' private af-
fairs, but men also, engage in this pleas
ing task. Their souls fllfull of wisdom,
gentleness and human sympathy in pur-
suit of their grand and lofty occupation.
If you want a person who is kindly, sin
cere and courteous in manners, particu-
larry in letting another boarder have
chance at the tenderest celery, the big
gest oranges and the choicest bits of tur-
key breast, go to the boarding house.
A fashionable New York boarding
house has just become the arena of eight
lawsuits. The landlady is broken up
financially, two doctors are broken up,
husband has sued for divorce, lone
woman who raised all the muss by the
keyhole and private detective business
got herself knocked down and has sued
for assault, likewise Islander, and almost
every variety of lawsuit known to legal
science has been entered against this
boarder or that, all because lone and
virtuous woman persisted in her efforts
to find out whether her fellow boarders
were virtuous in her kind of a way OF
not
But the saddest feature of all is that
our efforts to guard the morals and man.
ners of our fellow boarders seem to be
properly appreciated by nobody at all.

BONE AS A FERTILIZER.

valne of Nitrogen and Phosphoric Acid In
!, Bones-Reducing Bones without Acids.
The names Of brands, as "bone meal"
pure bone," ground bone, "''raw bone"
etc., are, as rule, simply trade terms
Ind haveno reference to the kind of bone
Dr method of manufacture. Provided
bone only is used in the preparation of
the brands, the fneness and amount of
plant food contained govern the value.
The results Of the analysis of dissolved
bone made at the New Jersey station are
stated to be in accord with those secured
in previous years-viz., that these prod
ucts furnish readily available forms of
nitrogen and phosphoric acid at much
cheaper rates than the majority of COM
plete fertilizers. Furthermore, the use
fulness of nitrogen and phosphoric acid
in slowly available forms-as they ex-
LIST in bones-has been amply proved in
practice, especially for slow growing
crops, in orchards, meadows and in such
other cases where gradual increase in
general fertility is regarded as important.
A mixture of fine ground bone and muri-
ate of potash in the proportion of three
parts of bone to one of potash is used
quite largely and has proved very eff
fective and profitable manure for general
use in grain farming. 1t furnishes all
the essential ingredients, costs less per
ton than the average complete fertilizers,
and it contains quite as much nitrogen
and very much more phosphoric acid and
potash.
This simple method of reducing bones
without acids is suggested by H. E. AL
ford of the Maryland station: Crush
the bones thoroughly as possible, and
provide barrel of fresh burned lime
md three barrels of strong, unleached
hardwood ashes for every barrel of
crushed bone, Use as base or mixing
hearth tight floor or level layer Of
loamy soil about six inches thick. Upon
this spread barrel of ashes in a similar
layer, then in a thinner layer half bar
rel of bone; scatter through the bone, to
fill the space, and spread upon it half
barrel Of lime pulverized, but not slaked.
On this spread a second barrel of ashes.
Wet this pile gradually with sprin-
kler, using about ten gallons water or
enough to moisten all, but have none
! rpI out, Add in like manner a,half bar
ashes and ten gallons more wafer. over
Ill scatter about one bushel land plaster
md cover the entire pile with dry loan.
Examine the pile once week, if needed,
and add water to keep all moist, but not
wet. In four or five weeks shovel over
and thoroughly mix, moisten and pile
again. cover with soil and little more
plaster and leave two or three weeks
longer. If piecesof bone then remain
undecomposed, sift them out, use in next
compost Or add more quicklime and
ashes to give further time.

Sprouting Seed Potatoes.

It is believed that nothing is gained in
earliness or rigor by keeping seed pota-
toes in a temperature where the eyes will
develop materially before planting time;
certainly not in temperature where
long sprouts will grow, mating the tu
bers together SO that they must be pulled
apart when the season for planting ar
rives. The object in storing away in cell
lars is to keep the potatoes in an accessi-
BILE place and in as natural condition as
possible without their freezing. A push
ing out of sprouts that would be broken
or rubbed off in the handling must nee
essarily occasion a check in the growth
of tubers when planted and should DO
guarded against as far as possible. At
the same time, adds the agricultural edi-
tor of the New York World-as potatoes
are now SO generally planted in cut pieces
it may be useful to expose the whole
tubers to the light and warmth for a few
days sufficiently long to indicate the
strong eyes as a guide in cutting the
pieces

WHEN A WOMAN LOVES.

What One Man Thinks He Knows About

When a woman loves severely, she be-

be unreasonable and for her great loves
sake to do her best to make, miserable
the all too fortunate winner of her atfec-
lions. She insists upon accusing him of
virtues which he knows are not included

failings of which he is just as completely
innocent and, with that intolerable itera-

The result is that the man begins i'll
time to believe that he is good where he
is not and to turn bad simply because
she says he is so already. He may be as
faithful as mullet (''for chaste love the

him by the assiduity of her suspicious
and her consequent lamentations out of
the secure highway of connubial affec-
ton into the hazardous bypsths that
lead past other mems orchards to the
Tom Tiddler's Ground of the Divorce
Court" Simply because she loves him
so--and she pleads no other excuse when
on occasion he attempts reasonable dis
cussion of their misunderstanding
she will make his bad seem good to him
and make his good become bad till the
seven take possession of him, and like
one of the bedeviled swine of Gadara
he rushes violently down steep place
into the sea.
She has no wicked intentions what

Taxing Inheritances.

Mr.. Max West discusses this question
in The Review of Reviews. Mr.. Max
West is in favor of tax on dead mems
estates, to be paid by the heirs when
they take possession Of such properties.
The tax would pay the expenses of the
probate court and some other govern
ment expenses also. Mr.. West would,
however, exempt from the inheritance
tax moderate amounts of property going
to widow and children, excepting her
grown sons, who are able to earn their
own living. 1t is only fair to say, though,
that many individuals quite as wise APP
parently as Mr.. Max West denounce Wig
orously this tax on inheritances, calling
it an outrage, "robbing dead men," etc.
But Mr.. West sagely observes that most
men would rather pay their taxes after
they are dead than when they are alive.
New York has an inheritance tax law
and under it derived from the estate OF
Jay Gould 100000. Several states have
laws taxing requests to relatives other
than husband, wife or children. This
the law calls taxing collateral inner
itances In New York the tax on inner
itances falling to direct heirs was not
passed till 1891, SO that if Mr. Gould had
died two years ago his children would
not have had to pay the 100000. The
law imposes per cent tax on the direcr
inheritors of personal property. If they
had lived in England, the Goulds would
have had to pay nearly 100000; in tn
Australian province of Victoria or tn,
Canadian province of Ontario, more thai
So, 100000
All the countries of Europe excep
Sweden and Portugal are mentioned b.
Mr.. West as having inheritance taxes
Some exempt direct heirs from such tax
alton; others do not. Some have pro
gressive inheritance taxes-that is, tn
larger the estate the higher the rate tina
is levied. This would not discourage &C
quisitive persons from becoming mil
ionaires, because the tax would not com
till after they were dead. In truth. the
would rather enjoy knowing that som
relative whom they did not like woul
have to pay good round sum for gel
ting their money. Mr.. West mention
that, oddly enough, persons with divel
sity of views the widest favor this metho
of paying public expenses. Andrew Ca
negie and Edward Bellamy advocate i
likewise the knights of Labor. Carneg
wrote four years ago, "Of all forms {
taxation, this seems to be the wisest."
