 SHARON, Pa., Nov. 18.-Several days ago the members of the Maennerchc club gave an opossum bake to a num- Der of their friends. They all pronounced the dish superior to any they had tasted before. They might have remained in ignorance of the facts in the case had George Jones, Brookfeld, O., citizen, of whom they had purchased the opos- sum, remained silent. A neighbor asked Jones what became of his big house cat. Jones laughingly remarked that Sha- ron delegation had requested him to hunt them an opossum. He was un- successful in his hunt, but ehoked his old tom cat, dressed it and sent it to sharon. The club members have inyes- tigated the case and found Jones' state ment to be true and have begun legal proceedings against the Maltese vendel

Depew Wants the Liquor Question Eii-
 minated From Politics.
 Naw YoPK, Nov. 13.-The excise laws nave begun to receive some attention from Republicans who discuss the glo- rious victory of that party. One of the first utterances in any sense public on this matter since the Republican victory of last Tuesday was that of Chauncey NJ. Depew. h letter to morning paper MT. Depsw said: ''The excise law should be so amended as to remove the liquor question from politics. II this is done we shall win back the Ger man vote and return New York perma- nently to the Republican column. Let us make peace"
 MT. Depew was asked what sugges' tions he would make as to changes in the excise law of this state.
 "When wrote that letter saying the excise law should be amended 30 as to remove the liquor question from poli- tics had in my mind the situation in Ohio" said Mir. Depew. "The law in that state, as have been told by Sher- man and other public men, has resulted in taking the question wholly out of politics They have an excise system which is such satisfactory solution of the question that no member of the legislature dares hint at change. To do so would be like signing his own po- litical death warrant. One essential feature is this: The license fees are turned over to the various municipali- ties and go into the general fund of each municipality. The result Is that taxes which must be raised by the ordinary means to meet the municipal expenses are greatly reduced. The fees in this city are so small that they do not amount to much if turned into the com- mon treasury. By making the license high enough and by putting the pro- ceeds in the treasury of each city or town condition satisfactory to each municipality would be reached. Only let this law be passed and il would Do an object for each city and town to let it remain undisturbed. The question would be settled each municipality would be satisfied and the German American would know there WAS to be no Legislation to interfere with his beer. This question would he out of politics and he would naturally follow his disposition as regards other ques- tions and go with the Republicans.

THERE was day when the popu- lar estimate of the ideal Senator or Representative at Washington was a gentleman of magnificent bearing, and fine orator, who sat up straight and voted when his name was called, or thrilled the very walls with great bursts of eloqGence. There issno lack of orators now, in- deed, who do nothing but talk. many of them to empty benches, and who are perfectly indifferent to- the transaction of business. Thus ses- sion after session is dwadled away,
 half of she time without anornm

Crusty Carlyle.

Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia and dis,
appointment He was therefore neither
oversympathetic in intercourse with his
friends nor fair in his estimates of othel
writer's.
Though he personally liked Tennyson,
he spoke with impatience of his ''cobbling
his odes;" dismissed Jane .Austen's novels
as s'dish washings;" Hallam, the histo-
rian, as 'sdry as dust, - and Goldsmith as
an Irish blackguard.
Even the writers of editorials in the
press were saluted with this hard saying:
"What are these fellows doing? They only
serve to cancel one another" A charac-
teristic anecdote illustrates his cruel dis
position, which provoked him to infict
pain even on a friend
An artist who frequented Carlyle's house
painted picture of him in his dressing
gown, smoking pipe by the fireside and
Mrs. Carlyle in an armchair sitting oppo-
site him The picture was hung at one OF
the Royal Acadeny's exhibitions, and
though not striking work of art was
purchased by Lord Ashburton, Carlyle's
friend, for $500.
The delighted artist hurried off to the
Carlyles, expecting congratulations on the
sale and some manifestation of pleasure
on their part at having such value set on
picture of themselves and their domestic
interior He delivered his glad tidlngs,
but all the response he received from Car
lyle was:
"Well, in my opinion, $500 was just
e495 too uchp'-Youth's Companion.

Tomato Culture.

A series of experiments, planned prl-
marily to determine the value of nitrade
of soda as fertilizer for tomatoes, has
been reported upon by the New Jersey
station. The average results of four ex-
periments show that as fertilizer for
tomatoes: 1. Nitrate Of soda is superior
to both barnyard manure and mineral
fertilizers alone. O. Nitrate of soda alone
is on the whole but slightly less effective
than the complete manure. 8. When
small quantities of nitrate are used, the
second application is advantageous. 4.
Large quantities, 800 pounds per acre.
of nitrate are more effective than small
quantities, 100 pounds per acre. And
permit the following practical sugges-
lions in reference to fertilizing: l.
Where land has been heavily fertilized
or MANFRED for the previous crop, apply
evenly over the row from 200 to 800
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, one
half at time of setting the plants and
the remainder from three to four weeks
later. 2. Where the land is light and
has not been heavily manured, apply
broadcast and harrow into the soil be-
fore setting the plants 500 pounds per
acre of mixture made up OF two parts
of boneblack superphosphate and one
part of muriate Of potash, and from 100
to $50 pounds Of nitrate Of soda in the
same manner as suggested above.

And only by exertion's painful stress
May life attain through discipline its goal
And bring to duty'a shrine a strengthened soul.

What IS companionship, then, after all,
But some ideal that is bound to fall
And only through greater sacrifice
Prove joy unworthy of the purchase price?
Dark Well, what of that?
Hung e'er night above this pilgrimage
So dark it's stars might not our fears assuage?
Alasl such consolation fills the night
A soul of sorrow wishes not the light.

OF aspiration that it gives no check
To long accustomed habit-a1 life's task

Excessive Weight Is Injurious and Not to
Be Encouraged.

Excessive Weight Is Injurious and Not to
Be Encouraged.
We now stand where we can look back
upon the time when many fine fowls
were ruined by being crowded far beyond
what their bones and sinews could en-
lure, says The Poultry World. These
were hard days for the large breeds To
gain the extra score for excess weight
was consideration too tempting to the
ambitious breeder The chicks were
crowded from the shell to the show coop
To be sure, it became study how to do
this and not overdo it, and if the result
had always been satisfactory poultry
matters today would stand on different
basis
The largest specimen of the Asiatic
breeds are truly grand in their proper
TONS Each one appears to be noun
tain of strength, fully equal to the bur
den of a few extra pounds of fat, but it
is not so to be. Although we may feed
to make bone and sinew in due proper
ton to the fat, all working and grow
ing together, yet natures laws are
stronger than mans devices, and the
edict ''Thus far shalt thou go and no
farther is the bar to all our hopes.
Not only do these considerations weigh
with regard to chicks bred for show pur-
poses, but wherever poultry is kept the
same rules must be followed Do not
overfatten the stock. Many small breed
ers do not have suitable Enclosures for
keeping the fowls and chicks separate,
consequently the fattening and growing
food which it is desirable for the chicks
to have must also be the leading diet for
the fowls. Often this causes them to
break down behind, or if not quite SO
disastrous most surely overwhelming
will decrease the egg supply. One reason
why beginners are often advised to keep
Leghorn fowls OF some other Of the
small breeds is that they are not easily
made overfat. Their restless disposition,
active habits and great fecundity all act
against it. The beginner in this case has
one thing less to learn-the proper kind
and proper quantity of food to be fed to
his fowls. Otherwise he must learn early
not to overfatten.

Steel and Magnetism.

The attention of the Royal Society of
Great Britain has been directed to the
elctro-chemical effects on magnetizing
iron, the experiments being as follows:
From long, finely polished rod two steel
bars were cut adjacently; SO that they were
practically alike in general composition
and structure. These bars were both
weighed and then immersed in equal guam
titles of cupric chloride solution, one of
them having previously been magnetized.
After certain tine-6 to "a hours-they
were taken out of the solution, freed from
deposited copper and carbonaceous mat
ter then dried and again weighed the re-
suit being that In every case the magnet
lied bar had lost more in weight than the
unmagnetized bar-that is, an average of
some 20 experiments showed an increase of
corrosion in the steel, due to magnetic in
f1uenoe, of about 8 per cent, under the con-
iitions of experiment.-NewY York SIM

Does Glover Need a Nurse?

AS answered in The Rural New York
er opinions are divided. One man says
he has always failed with clover seeded
alone in the spring, while another OBJ
tains the best of results. 1t is common
law of agriculture that the clover plant
needs shade-some plant like wheat, rye
or oats to shelter it. Such crop is
called clover nurse, yet every now and
then we hear of some farmer who grows
good clover and grass without nurse.

Fertilizing Field Crops.

In their investigation Of field crops,
the Massachusetts hatch station found
in two experiments that sulphate Of pot
ash gave larger yield of potatoes than
did muriate of potash, and they were
also better in quality. They found that
potash is the controlling element for
beans and corn, nitrate of soda is bene-
fetal to oats, nitrate of soda greatly in
creases the yield of grass, and muriate
of potash causes a remarkable increase
in the proportion Of clover in mowings
where timothy, redtop and clover seed
are SOWn.
