THE SAME, YET DIFFERENT.
A Curiosity of Time That is Easily
Made Plain.

London 'Tid Bits offers this cur
iosity of time; Two persons were
born at the same place, at the same
moment of time. After an age of so
years they both died. also at the
same instant-vet one had lived 100
days more than the other. How was
this possible? The solution turns
on a curious, bnt, with a little re
Election. II very obvious point in cir
COMMUNICATION.
A person going around the world
tow ard the west loses a day. and
toward the east he gains one Sup
posing, then, two persons are born
together at the Cape of Good Hope.
whence voyage around the world
may he performed in year; if one
performs this constantly toward the
west. in 80 years he will be so DAYS
behind the stationary inhabitants;
and if the other sails equally toward
the east, be will he so days in ad-
vance of them.
One, therefore, will have seen 100
days more than the other, though
they were born and died in the same
place and at the same moment, and
even live continually in the same
latitude, and reckon time hv the
same calender.

Pleasure in California.

During the winter months the resi-
dents Of the Eastern States make the
best of forbidding conditions and
amuse themselves in various ways by
large expenditure of energy. They
work hard, but they have sport. They
must be careful to avoid the numer-
Gus dangers with which very cold
weather surrounds them. All of their
efforts at amusement are a struggle
against a fOrbidding and uneongenial
aspect of nature. They simply create
all the pleasure they get; nature, in
stead Of helping them, presents a
constant protest against their pleas
ure. During these same MONTHS the
visitor in California simply has to sit
down and enjoy more pleasure than
his most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; and if he
wants TO double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do so
with the least possible eXertion. At
ali times he has abundant sunshine in
California, for the rainy days are few
and short, and there is neither snow
nor ice to make him prisoner. Flow
ers bloom increasingly in the garden,
and fresh fruits are always at hand.
Watermelons and Strawberries grace
his Christmas dinner
All along the coast of California the
summers are cold enough to make
wooden clothing comfortable. In the
Eastern States the wretched inhabi-
tant wears the thinnest of clothing
and then suffers from the heat The
Californian goes camping or strolling
through the woods with no fear of a
drenehing, for the California summers
are rainless. The mountain scenery
is of infinite variety and unapproach-
able majesty and beauty. Large and
elegant hotels abound at all the sea-
side resorts Splendid vineyards and
orchards exist everywhere, and the
most gorgeous wild flowers abound
All the most beautiful resorts and
whd retreats of California are reached
by the lines of the Southern Pacific
Company. Any of these agents of
the company will give information on

Sam Jones on Masonry.

Rev. Sam p Jones has been

sermon which was reported in full

from which we take the following
extract:

Like Il Sieve.

The chief function of the kidneys is
TO separate from the blood, in its pas
sage through them of certain impuri-
ties and watery particles which make
their final exit through the bladder.
The retention of these, in consequence
of inactivity of the kidneys, is produc-
tive of Bright's disease, dropsy dia-
betes, albuminuria and other maladies
with a fatal tendency. Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, highly sanctioned
diuretic and blood depurent, impels
the kidneys when inactive to renew
their sitting function, and strain from
the vital current impurities which in
fest it and threaten their own exist
ence as organs of the body. Catarrh
of the bladder, gravel and retention of
the urine are also maladies arrested or
ayerted by this benign promoter and
restorative of organic action. Malaria,
rheumatism, constipation, biliousness
and dyspepsia also yield to the Bitters,
which is also speedily beneficial to the
weak and nervous.

About Home.

a London paper offered prize for
the best definition of home. Here are
some of the best of the ,, 600 answers
sent in:
The place where all husbands should
be at night
Where you are tried less and grum-
Die most.
4 world Of strife shut out, a world
of love shut in.
Home is the blossom of which hea-
ven is the fruit
The best place for a married man
after business hours.
4 grand old mirror through which
both sides OF us are seen,
The golden setting in which the
brightest jewel is "mother"
The fathers kingdom, the children's
paradise the mothers world.
The center of our affections, around
which our hearts best wishes Irvine.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great.
The jewel casket, containing the
most precious of all jewels-domestic
happiness.
A working model of heaven, with
real angels in the forms of mothers
and wives.
The only spot on earth where the
faults and failings of fallen humanity
are hidden under the mantle of char
ity.
\ little hollow scooped out of the
windy hill of the world where we can
be shielded from its cares and annoy
ances.
a hive, in which like the industri-
Gus bee, youth gamers the sweets and
memories of life for age to mediate
and feed upon.
Home is the cosiest, kindliest,
sweetest place in all the world, the
scene of our purest earthly joys and
deepest sorrows.
A popular but paradoXical institu-
ton, in which woman works in the
absence of man and man rests in the
presence of woman.

FERTILIZERS AND GLOVER.
A Combination That Has Proved Success
full on Wornout Soils

A Combination That Has Proved Success
full on wornout Soils.
The ancient idea was that animals
added value to the food they took into
their mouths. In some mysterious way
they were supposed to grow and thrive
on the food and still make the hay
worth.more as manure than it was be-
fore il was eaten. These same folks be-
lieved that plants developed lime, pot
ASH and phosphorio acid, as result Of
vital force. One idea is as sensible as
the other. We know better now. The
simple question is this, Does sun cured
grass fed to cattle make more valuable
manure than the same grass permitted
to decay in the field and acted upon by
rain, sun and frost? In other words, Are
heat, sun and frost as valuable 'reduc-
ing agents" as the forces Of living ami
mails? asks the author of Chemicals
and Clover, from which the following
is quoted: The fertilizer farmer claims
that there is substantially little differ
ence in the manurial value of grass act
ed upon by natures forces and that fed
to and excreted by animals. He also
claims that his chemicals supply more
and better plant food than can be OBJ
tanned for an equal value in grain.
Chemicals and clover put together in
the field give as strong manure as can
be hauled out of any barnyard, because
they supply the same elements that are
bought in hay and grain. More than
this, it has been abundantly proved that
not one-half of the fertility in stable
manure is available for quick grow
ing plant, while practically all Of the
high grade fertilizers can be used at
once. 1t is true that many failures have
been made with green manuring ON
poor soils. That was because the farm
ers did not realize that green crops alone
did no more for the soil than good hay
alone would do for dairy COW in win
ter. 1t might keep her in good health,
but she could not give a profitable mess
of milk until she had feed. In the same
way the land needed feed-more fertil
ity than there was in the green crop.
Not chemicals alone, not clover alone,
but chemicals and clover, are the secret
of success
Rye has been suggested as substitute
for the clover in the rotation. 1t has
also been claimed that potash and phos-
phoric acid alone will answer as we'll
as complete fertilizer. The chief
value of the clover lies in its root ac-
ton. 1t digs Deep while rye plants
sleep. 1t catches and retains fertility
far down in the soil and is the best
nitrogen trap in the world. As to
complete fertilizers, farmer may
feel sure Of them-potash and phosphorio
acid alone make at best but an expert
ment The crop may fall off in yield for
want of the missing nitrogen. All farm
ers recognize the great value of clover.
These who advocate the use of rye or
other green crops in the place of clover
are generally in sections where, for
some reason, the latter plant is not sure
of catch.

Thinning out Young Crops.

Few practices are more profitable,
says Meehan's Monthly, than thinning
out garden crops as soon as the young
plants are above the surface If the
knowledge of the proper sowing of seeds
was more widely prevalent when the
number of seeds required to make plants
only need be sown, no thinning would
be needed, but so many persons sow the
seeds fearing that numbers will fail to
grow, and therefore many more seeds
are used thanSs necessary. But some
times all those superauous seeds grow,
in which case it is desirable that they
should be thinned Not only do the
vegetable plants grow larger under these
circumstances, but in many cases they
come earlier into use.
