1t is impossible to over estimate the
value of The Age of Faith" a new and
wonderful book, by Silas p. Culey. 1t
makes life clearer, brighter, happier and
longer. Nearly every msn and woman of
the least intelligence is at this day and
age deeply interested, and more or less be-
wildered. in the study of who is God !?
what is God and what are his mysi erious
plans for our future And to all this
book comes like Il ray of light over Il dark
and stormy sea. which will shine brighter
and brighter as its wonderful pages are
studied, and the more carefully and earn
estly they are studied the brighter the
light will shine and the faster the strange
mysteries Will be revealed. Every human
being that, can read should have 1t. and
after having It week no Intelligent per
son. whether lnlidel, skeptic or Christian,
would take ten times its cost for It, and
the price is so low that nearly all can have

tive circular will be sent free of charge TO

FERTILIZERS FOR ROOT CROPS.

ALI kinds of roots are benefited by
a liberal dressing of salt mangels,
especially, are increased in product by
it. The quantity usually applied is
600 pounds per acre, sown broadcast
as soon as the young plants appear.
superphosphate of lime or finely
ground bones is also an excellent ap-
plication, and is usually scattered on
the narrowed ground before the seeds
are sown; the sowing by the drill then
mixes the fertilizer with the soil, and
by the time the plants have made a
start it has been dissolved and well dis
tributed. For turnips a liberal guam
tity of plaster (gypsum) will be found
useful. Turnips and cabbage are i'm
proved in growth considerably by this
fertilizer, doubtless because it furn-
ishes the sulphuric acid which these
plants contain. Plasser is sulphate OF
lime, and contains 453 per cent. OF
sulphuric acid and 323 of lime; the
rest is water, and hence it is found
useful for ell crops that contain sulphur
to an important extent. New York

A Sad Story of Real Life.

n pitiful story in real life is that Of
Frederick Walters, an old German lens
polisher of Philadelphia, and his old
crazy wife. The old man, after suffer-
ing fortunes from cancer of the stom-
ach, died two weeks ago while sitting
in a chair near a window. From the
moment of his death until the discov-
cry was made a few days ago that he
had died, the demented wife had placed
the same plate of vietuals on the table
before him day after day. When in
the end she was told that her husband
was dead, she replied: "Get the ash
man to take him away in the ash bar
rel" The old woman's mind became
impaired a few years ago, at the death
of her only daughter, and she spent
her time sitting at an open window
waiting for her child to come back. A
grewsome and pathetic picture must
have been that of the old husband
dead, sitting at one window with I'M
touched meal beside him, and the old
wife sitting at the other window, gaz-
ing out wistfully for the back coming

COST OF FERTILIZERS.

Estimating the value of whole bones
at $40 per ton and the cost of grinding
the same at $40, will make the cost OF
one ton of ground bones $40. Suppose
an average ton of bones to contain
sixty pounds of organic nitrogen and
400 pounds of phosphoric acid. Now,
375 pounds of nitrate of soda will
furnish sixty pounds of nitrogen and
131 pounds Of soda; 1850 pounds of
powdered phosphate Of lime will furn-
ish 405 pounds of phosphoric acid and
will cost, with nitrate of soda at q
cents a pound Observation-Disclosures
of lime at three-fourths of a cent a
pound, $19.49. The nitrogen in nj
trate of soda is in it's most valuable
form, and there are also 131 pounds OF
soda, which is not to be had in bones
alone. The phosphoric acid in the
powdered phosphate of lime is more
available than the phosphoric acid in
ground bones because the powdered
phosphate of lime is in q much finer
state of division than ground bones. =

Remarkable Experience of q Little Girl.

remarkable escape from serious in
jury, if not death, occurred q few
days ago. The little granddaughter of
Ex-Governor FL. H. Wells, who was
here on a visit from her home in
Rochester, N. Y, spent a day with her
cousin on 4 IL street. The little girl
is only eleven years of age, and is a
bright and active child. During their
play the little girls found their way to
the upper story of the house, and May
Walker, more adventurous than her
cousin, decided to explore the attic,
on air space which is between the
fourth story and the roof. This space
is lighted by a skylight in the roof,
which is directly over the light shaft,
which extends to the lower floor of the
house. The staircase occupies the
light shaft, leaving in the centre a
vacant space. As is usual with light
shafts a glazed frame is set in the cell
ing of the last story. In some way,
which is not known, little May, while
in the attic, stepped on this glass frame,
and, of course, crashed through the
glass and fell the entire length of the
light shaft, a distance of forty-thlee
feet, landing on the lower floor. She
was picked up unconscious, doctors
were at once summoned, but a thor
ough search failed to discover any
broken bones or any indication of in
ternal injury. She soon recoveredcon-
sciousness, and during the first night
care was taken that she did not fall
into a stupor. Her recovery from the
| shock of the fall was rapid. In a few
days she was about, and by the end OF
| the week after the fall she was SO we'll
chat she was able to return to her home
in Rochester.
It is a mystery to all familiar with
the circumstances of this case how the
little, girl escaped from this dreadful
peril without the slightest injury

A wonderful Cure for Rheumatlsm.

d. M. George, of Cuba, Co., has for
. long time been torturedbythe pangs
Of rheumatism. Without any per.
ceptible relief, he has well nigh ex.
hausted the whole pharmacopoeia OF
remedies, when, by some accidental
train Of thought, his mind was directed
TO the idea Of trying the effect OF
picked razors and files for his tor
menting malady. Accordingly. he
looked about his premises and picked
M all the old files he could find, with
here and there q wornout razor blade.
These he carefully cleaned and inn
mersed in strong vinegar. After Q
few days he began taking . small
amount of the black mass, which he
called razor soup, with marked Inn.
brovement. He kept up this line OF
treatment, and, SO far as the rheuraa.
hsm is concerned, is to-day Q wel@an.

EXPERIMENTS IN HOG FArrENrNe.

A series of experiments has been
tried in Denmark under the auspices
of the Government with the result
that it has been determined that four
pounds of boiled potatoes are equal to
one pound of grain for fattening hogs
for bacon. It was also decided that
six pounds of skim milk, eight pounds
Of boiled turnips and twelve pounds OF
whey are each equal to one pound OF
grain for fattening purposes. In 1881
the Danish farmers exported to Eng
land 4,O0O,O 900 pounds of bacon, in
1892 they exported 200, 900, 900
pounds. Apparently the Danes know
how to cure bacon, says the California
Fruit Grower.
