How Young Doctor Acquired Wealth
Through the Agency of the Ghost of Had

toni
Nine miles south of the town of D., in
Ohio, two highways cross each other at
right angles, and the corners thus formed
are known as "Haddons Corners" TWEEN
ty years ago there was but one house there
IA half finished old structure which John
Haddon had started to build for tavern,
but never finished. Everybody knew the
man by sight and name, and yet no one
knew where he came from or anything re-
garding his past life. He might have been
As years old, or his age might have been 10
years more He was one of those men who
reach a certain age and then seem to halt
there. He had bought 10 acres of ground
on the southwest corner, put up the frame
and inclosed building large enough to ac-
commodate 100 guests, and then finished off
two or three rooms at one end. He did no
farming, had no accommodations for man
or beast and was never seen half mile
from his house.
Haddon had been a resident of the Cor
ners about three years when ! came to
know him. The woman who lived with
him as his wife was also character. She
was tall, gaunt, ugly and mysterious. The
two were never seen outside of the house
together, whether walking or sitting. Such
farmers wives as called at the house to be
neighborly were refused adnittance. Such
farmers as dropped in on Haddon under one
excuse and another found him distrustful
and exceedingly gruff 1t was generally
agreed that he was an Englishman and IN

GREEN MATURING.
A Southerner's Views In Regard to Turn
ing Under Green Crops.

A Southerncr's Views In Regard to Turn |
ing Under Green Crops.
Notwithstanding the vast amount of
commercial fertilizers used in addition to
the home manures many farms in the old
er sections of the country are failing.
The necessity of different method is inn
perative-a method which will impart
more body to the soil. Stable and barn
yard misnures give the required body to
the soil, but few farmers make enough
to supply the demands of their own fields
Thomas d. Baird. writing in The South
ern Cultivator. says:
In my Judgment, if farmers would
practice turning under green crops every
season. then add the other manures. we
would find our land would improve and
go on improving until, instead of twenty
five bushels of corn on the average per
acre, we would grow 200. and instead of
thirteen bushels of wheat, the present
average per acre. we would average six
ty-five. What one acre has done GER
tainly two can be made to do.
We have said green manuring was the
best way to improve and give body to
the soil. still the mineral elements of
these crops are derived entirely from the
soil. so that when we pillow under a green
crop the land will be no richer in potash
or phosphoric acid than before, but these
elements can be in a condition more
available for plant food. Some plants
have better digestion than others. while
deep rooted plants can get some food by
retaining the fertility which has been
washed into the subsoil out of reach of
most plants.
Again. organic matter is added to the
soil when the crop is plOwed under, quite
little of which has been derived from
the atmosphere. Another benefit we de-
rive from green manuring is the vegeta-
bic matter turned under which gives to
the soil its dark color. makes clay soils
more crumbly and gives sandy soil more
body besides making the soil warmer
and lighter and admitting the air. 1t l.,
also source of rarbonic acid gas. which
acts to make available the plant food al
ready in the soil.
But perhaps the most important eff
feet of green manuring is the addition Of
nitrogen which valuable element is most

ing into the air thus making it more
costly It has been shown that certain
plants have the power of using the free
nitrogen of the air and converting it into
vegetable substance, and so atfording
available plant food for other plants. It
is then evident that the best plant for
green manuring is one that Us long
roots to pump up the lowest fertility
from the subsoi, and has bulky root,
and which will add large quantity of
hunlus to the soil. Also one that gathers
nitrogen from the air
Clover answers these requirements per-
fectly. rs does the pea. except that it
has short roots. Buckwheat and rye,
while they will grow on poorer land
than clover. and therefore would better
go before, do not really have the power
of using the free nitrogen of the air. nor
do they have long roots and where clio
yer will grow they are not so desirable.

HOT BATHING.
a Japanese Custom That Other Peoples
Would Do Well to Copy.

a Japanese Custom That Other Peoples
Would Do Well to Copy.
In hygienic matters the Japanese
have everywhere habit which NAV
have a lesson for us. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always hot
as it can be borne. To foreigners this
habit seems very surprising, but the
most inveterate Englishman, if he STAYS
in the country long enough. abandons
his cold tub in it's favor. The cold.
taking, says an English exchange,
which it is suspected must follow is not
found to occur if the water has been
hot enough. This heat is maintained
by little furnace beneath the bath.
In the bath the bather or bathers take
prolonged soaking, the washing
proper being done on the bathroom
floor; then follows II second and fiual
soaking, drying with towel, and
lounge in bathing wrapper. This habit
seems to promote softness and supple
ness of the skin, and by persons in
clined to rheumatism is soon found L,
be altogether preferable to the cold
bath in every particular. The poorest
of the Japanese hear of a cold bath
with amazement, and would be sure
the man who used it must be a bar
barian.

Recent Investigations Go to Show THAI

M. Dantec has examined and expert

If the arrows have been kept a long
time, says London Lancet, or have been
much exposed to the sun, the vibrion
septique may have been destroyed. The
danger then is from tetanus. When the
arrows have been freshly prepared and
the vibrion septique is still active, a
wound from them causes death in a
guinea pig from septic@mia in from
twelve to fifteen hours; tetanus, which
takes longer than that period of time to
develop, does not under these circum-
stances show itself. 1t is interesting to
remark that the horse ia unknown in

of the equine origin of tetanus would

KITCHEN CUTLERY.
Good Material Is Always Cheaper Than
Poor.

Good Material Is Always Cheaper Than
Not one person in a thousand under
stands how to select good steel kitchen
knife. 1t is false economy TO provide a
kitchenmaid with cheap, inferior tools.
She will appreciate your consideration,
If she is the right kind of a girl, if she
is provided with suitable tools to do her
work with, and will equally appreciate
your niggardness or ignorance if she is
provided with iron bread knives and
potato knives that act as saws The
difference in cost between good tools of
this kind and inferior ones is not very
great. The method of testing them is
simple. A good steel knife is elastic
and bends readily and easily when the
point is pressed on the table. A good
English bread knife will cost about IS
cents and upward, French knives 81. IS
and upward 1t is always wise to buy
these knives of an experienced cutler,
who Is thoroughly trustworthy. The
knives OF the most distinguished maker
OF Kitchen cutlery have been initiated
even so far as the name; SO unless you
are judge of a good knife yourself. it
is better to depend on a Trustworthy
dealer. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that such valuable knives should be
kept away from the fire or their temper
will be lost, and they will be of no more
value than an iron knife. This should
be explained to the servant, and every
kitchen should be provided with at
least two cheap iron knives to use
around the stove. A scraping knife
cool enough for the purpose will cost
about 20 cents and is convenient arti-
