Man has seven ages, the legend says,
Woman has .one-the present, says the
New York Journal She invades; she
pervades. No profession, no trade is
able to withstand her. She knocks at
it's doors politely; if admitted, all right;
if not, she will force her way in, by
her ability, perseverance and deter
mination, and demand the recognition
to which she feels she is entitled. 1t
is all the same to her whether it is
law, medicine dressmaking, civil SER
vice, engineering, blacksmithing, paper
hanging, telephOning, science, art, me-
chanics or counting ont linen in a
hotel. When woman sets her mind
on any of these things, nothing will
prevent her excelling in it.
Obstacles! Why, what is the use of
being a woman if she is to be over

not accomplish it? Obstacles, forsooth!

Although paper-bcund French books
have become very cheap in this city,
paper-bound books in italian are still
high priced and often very i'll made.
They are bought chiefly by resident
Italians, which French books are
bought by all sorts of persons. The
old book shops and stalls are crowded
with French books that go at very
low rates, but sell comparatively few
italian books, save the classics, and
those usually in good old editions.

usually easy to recognize these govern

small iron piping. These poles are
planted deep in the sandy beach, and,
being Of small diameter, they present
little hold to the sea winds, and thus
are seldom blown down.

NOT BUILT THAT WAY.

An editor On being asked if he ever
saw a bald-headed woman replied in
the following vein: mo, we never did,
Nor did we ever see woman waltzing
around town in her shirtsleeves with a
cigar between her teeth and ruin into
every saloon she saw. We have never
see a woman go fishing with a bottle
in her pocket, sit on the damp ground

Nor have we seen a woman yank off

The end of this enchanting day

The practical value of manure de-
ponds mainly on the kind of crop to
which it is applied. 1t will benefit the
land; but that to the wide-awake
farmer is not enough. What he wants
is to realize the greatest immediate
benefit. To do this be must manure
the crop rather than the land 1t is
surely all right to progressively in
crease the fertility of the farm; but
better still is to use the most Of it so
that it can be made available for the
present seasons crop. What is not
used now may either wash away or
become insoluble before another year.
The best rule in applying manure is
to use it on the crops that leIu1re
most thorough cultivation 1t makes
the labor pay better, and the labor
makes the manure pay better. The
effect Of stirring the ground after the
manure is applied is to greatly increase
it's efficiency. Therefore it is a good
plan to spread the whole available
stable manure over all the ground that
is to be put into hOed crops If this is
done early most of the soluble parts Of
the manure will be washed into the
soil, and whenever the field is cult
waited or hOed it will insure the further
mixing of soil and fertilizer Mineral
manures are the best used on grain
crops, as they are drilled with the
seed, and there is comparatively little
cost of labor in applying them.-Amer-
