vulgarity And Affectati on:

Few subjects are more nearly
allied than these two-yulgarity
and afectation. 1t may be said Of
them truly that "thin partitions
do their bounds divide. = There
cannot be a surer proof of a low
origin or of an innate meancss OF
disposition, than to be always
talking of being genteel. '"e must
have strong tendency to that
which we are always trying to
avoid; whenever we pretend, on
all occasions, mighty contempt
for anything, it is a pretty clear
sign that we feel ourselves very
nearly on o level with it. Of tho
two classes Of people, I hardly
know which isto be regarded with
most distaste, the vulgar apingthe
genteel, or the ,genteel constantly
sneering at, and endeayoring to
distinguish themselves from the
vulgar. These two sets of persons
are always thinking Of one another
the lower of the higher with envy,
the more fortunate of their less
happy neighbors with contempt

Sowing Spring Oats.

We do not approve the practice
efSrefying on oats sown in the
spring. Those who do SO urge that
fall sown oats are SO often killed
by freezes that they have aban-
doned the idea. but we suspect
that most of the oats that are
soWn in the spring, that is, after
Christmas, are sown On the fields
of;those farmers who cannot find
time for anything but cotton pick
ing in the fall. However, we will
not discuss the comparative merits
OF fall oats and winter OATS at
thistime, for it is foo late to mind

Dear sir:-According to promise
I send you herewith result of my
experiment with your fertilizer on
one acre of corn:
In winter I broadsasted 100
bushels Of cotton! seed and turned
it under; first Of May bedded out
land and put in: Hater-furroW
compost of 400 pounds of your
Acid Phosphate, 80 bushels cot:
ton seed, with some rough lot
manure; ridging on this On 21st
of May split this ridge and drop
ped the corn six to ten inches, and
put in the drill 200 pounds Of
your Alkaline Guano. When corn
was about hand high I ran around
the corn; the rain set in and
continued about s. weeks. Between
showers I went in with pillow and
put in two more burrows, adding
in drill 200 pounds more OF
Alkaline Guano; at last of hs.wet
season I put two more furrows,ir
the middle with heel-swsep
rnnning shallow. After this 8
weeks of wet weather, we had q
protracted dry spell for 8 weeks,
with no rain except one light
shower, The corn fred up where
it had been holding too much
water in the wet season.
lido not know how much fodder
I got-it was a good deal.
I gathered the corn and measured
every ear of 1T. I measured "a
bushels. When I set out in the
spring I wanted TO make 10C
bushels on one acre, and with the
manure used and good work and
seasons, I could have made my
hundred bushels.
The way the season was the last
manuring did no good. Eight
weeks of wet and 8 weeks of dry
weather, with only 6 burrows, anc
they put in too wet, I made 8.
bushels.
The cost oe manure, gusno, cot
ton seed and labor all was $32.SO
| I had fourteen acres of corr
planted besides, and not manurec
as we'll. l gathered 565 bushels
My cotton crop was poor; vii
not quite average q bale to th'
acre.
Yours truly.

The MAPLE LEAF ROUTE.

One of the most successful new lines
in the west has been the Chicago Great
Western Railway. popularly known to
the travelling public as the Maple Leaf,
this emblem having been selected by the
management of the company as its
trademark. 1t is a road constructed on
the principle of having only main lines
operated, which extend between Chicago
and St Paul and Minneapolis. Chicago
and Kansas City, and Kansas City and
st. Paul and Minneapolis, giving it three
direct main lines of travel. Its lines ex-
tend through the most prospe1ou Gus and
productive portions of the great states OF
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota. Missouri and
Kansas. which territory is Justly claimed
to be the garden spot of the world. One
of the most pleasant features to travellers
possessed by this line-and it is tine only
line in the west offering sucn accommo
dations--is the compartment feature of
its sleeping cars, in which the price of
the exclusive use of drawing room is
no more than the cost of section in the
ordinary Pullman car. Passengers, be-
sides having these accommodations
offered them. are also given the option Of
the standard style of Pullman cars. Its
trains from Chicago arrive at and depart
from the new Grand Central Passenger
Station. which is acknowledged to be the
handsomest of its kind in the world The
progressive and advanced methods of
railroadlng inaugurated by this company
have made it deservedly popular with

A Fearful Explosion in an
Austrian Mine.
More Than Four Score Crushed
and Suffooated.

Eighty miners were killed and scores
were injured by an explosion at the Fort
schritt tAustria) mine few mornings ago
when the shifts were changing. A cage full
of miners had been lowered half way down
the shaft when the ground trembled and
rumbling report was heard. and the cable
attached to the cage gave such a lurcn that
the lowering machinery broke.
A rush of air and dust from the pits
mouth, the sounds of crashing tinbers. and
the cries of the men in the cage gave warn
ing to the men above OF the extent of the
disaster. Help was summoned, the machin-
cry was repaired after delay OF half an
hour, and the cage was raised.
Ten of the occupants had been killed in
stantly by the shock, ten had suffered fatal
fractures, five who had broken limbs and
internal injuries will live. They had been
half suffocated by the gas rising in the
shaft, and said that no man could live be-
low
An hour later the superintendent of the
mine aud five miners from the night shift
went down in the cage. They were unable
to go more than hundred yards from the
shaft into the gallery, but they found four
teen dead bodies
OF the fifty men who were waiting for
the cage ten had been killed and forty had
been partially crushed by falling timbers or
distance from the shaft the superintendent
found four bodies which had been crushed
beyond recognition by a falling beam.
The bodies and the injured were taken to
the top, where the whole mining settlement
had gathered to watca the work of rescue.
The men who had been brought up from the
bottom said that few minutes after the
explosions they had heard cries and groans
from the mouth of gallery about 300 yards
from the shaft.
There was heavy timber work at this
place, and they believed that the men in the
gallery had been imprisoned by the fallen
beams. They believed that some forty men
had been at work there. Shortly before
the cage came down. thsy said. the cries
ceased. Another rescue party went down
at once, aud, after three men had been
carried back to the shaft unconscious, pene-
trated to the entrance to the gallery.
The entrance was completely blocked by
the wrecked woodwork. The rescue party
could see dead bodies on the other side Of
the timbers, but were unable to get at them.
and returned to the top empty handed. It
was then believed that all the men in the
gallery were suffocated or killed by the
shock.
Twelve miners, who worked in the ex-
treme interior of the mine on the night
shift and had not started for the shaft SO
soon as their companions, were also believed
to be dead.

MR.. BLAINE AS HE LOOKED IN 1904.
James G. Blaine died Friday morning at
his home in Washington. He suffered q
relapse at an early hour in the morning
from which he could not rally. Tue end
came at II o'clock.
Mr.. Blaine passed good night and was
resting easier at 2 o'clock in the morning.
At that time he was REGARDED as slightly
better.
When his physician called at 8 o'clock he
found Mr.. Blaine sinking rapidly. The re-
lapse had set in short time before the
physician called. Mr.. Blaine was then
speechless and unconscious. Ever rything
possible was done, but he never regained
consciousness.
Death was peaceful and apparently pain
less. ALI the members of Mr. Blaine's FAM
ily were at his bedside when he died.
Mr.. Blaine was taken i'll in the spring OF
1891 and was compelled to leave Washing
ton for long rest. He went to his summer
home at Bar Harbor; Me-, where he re-
manned until October.
For several months he was seriously i'll
and his death was expected. Late in the
summer of that year. however. he began to
rally, and regained sufficient strength to re-
turn to Washington and resume his duties
as Secretary of State.
Mr.. Blaine suffered relapse some time
ago, and for several days his death was mo-
mentarily expected. He rallied slightly,
however, and for two weeks was reported as
resting easily.
