The Blue Glass Fad

Perhaps the queerest fad of modern
times was that which placed the elixir
of life in blue glass. That the color
of light has certain influences on life,
especially life of the lower sort as in
plants, is a fact. Plant life is un-
doubleday affected by the color of
light, and animal life needs light. II
an animal be deprived of light, it will
become what is called anamic, but
exactly why no one knows. Reason
ing from the observed effects of blue
light upon some plants, the inventor
Of the fad prescribed baths under
blue glass for all.
You were to strip yourself, l re
member, and lie down under the blue
glass for many hours each day. And
the queerest thing about the whole
business was the fact that some of
the devotees not only declared them
selves benefited by the treatment so
long as they believed in it, but were
unquestionably so benefited. I say
SO long as they believed in it, for
do not think there are many-if in
fact there be one-who bathes in blue
light now.-Cyrus Edison, M. D., in
North American Review.

-Four years ago a pair of robins
built their home on the top Of the
farm bell of w. H. Weemer in Don
egal township, and notwithstanding
that the bell was in daily use, they
remained and raised their family.
During the ringing of the bell the
female would remain on the nest,
swinging to and fro apparently as
unconcerned as though she were
Matching in some secluded spot.
Whether it was the swinging that
pleased the robins OF whether it was
the instinct implanted in the breast
of every migratory bird to return
each year to the same nesting place
must remain a mystery, but it is a
fact that every year since the sup
posed same robins have returned and
built their nest on the same old bell.

Scales at a Virginia Resort So Fixed as tn
Add Twenty or Thirty Pounds.
When the latest young LADY, at
Fort Monroe got upon the scales there
was hush of expectancy. Up to
that time everybody was pleased, be-
cause every one seemed to have
gained III weight. The little girl with
the auburn ringlets had uttered a lit
tie shrek of delight when she found
for the irst time in her life she tipped
the scales at over 100 pounds. The
youthful matron in black, who had
said all along that it was only her
mourning that made her look thin
ner, was triumphant when her avoir-
dupois was registered at Ill.
AS for the fair creature with the
balloon sleeves and incipient crino-
line, she declared that she had never
before weighed within eight pounds
as much. When the latest young
lady got aboard, she said with anna,
BILE resignation:
Put on that 50-pound weight. I'll
need it."
So the iron disk representing so
pounds was put on, and the register
was Slid along by the girl with the
auburn ringlets. Strange to say, it
passed up to the very end of The bar
without making the scale drop.

ture in the balloon sleeves.
The fattest young lady began to
look alarmed.
1T isn't So" she exclaimed indig-
nantly. Il don't weigh an ounce over
179 pounds.
But the girl with auburn ringlets
had already added the extra 5O-pound
weight, which caused the scale to re-
spond at once. It promptly regis
tered 202 pounds. The latest young
lady looked as though she did not
know whether to burst into tears or
to slap off the bonnet of the girl with
the auburn ringlets and stamp on it.
1t is cheat and horrid fraud /"
she declared. Then she raised her
parasol with an emphasis that nearly
broke one of the ribs and marched
away.
Just at that moment colored
waiter passed by with basketful of
napkins. The youthful matron in
black stopped him.

Factors In the Development of Beauty.

Clean streets and pure air for our
towns, pure water for our reservoirs,
better light in cities, reasonable
hours of labor and freedom from
avoidable uncertainties of life and

While the world waits for cities

RUST IN COTTON.
To what is rust due?

To what is rust due?
Common rust is due to the absence of
potash in the soil and an additional
amount of this element of plant food
should be used. For land subject to
mosaic or common rust the fertilizer
should contain more potash than is usu-
ally placed in a commercial fertilizer.
See that you use a fertilizer with large
per cent. of potash.

TURNING LAND.
When is the best time to turn land
that was sown in oats last fall?. 1t has
good crop Of rag weeds on it.
LA. McC.
Turn the land just as soon as the weeds
are matured. If turned green, by fer
mentation the soil loses portion Of the
fertilizing properties of the plants. On
the other hand, waste also ensues if the
weeds are left standing too long. :,
SEED.
Can buy seed wheat or other seed
that have been tested at the station?
T. A. l., Lavonia.
You can buy from dealers the same
varieties as are used at the station. Sc
lect the variety with which, from the
experiments, you are pleased, and we
will inform you where they can be
bought,
SUBSoHING.
Would it be profitable to subsoil low

DIsINFEor THE EARTH.

1t is late in the day to raise the issue,
but this is bad time of year to be
turning up earth all over the city in
laying sewers. Unless prompt steps
are taken to at once deodorize and thor.

the earth is opened. Competent medi-
