ABSOLUTELY PURE

Not So Funny, After All.


The misfortunes Of others are filed
with irresistible humor In many cases,
particularly IN the more tri1ing acts Of
every day. To see a man sit Oh his own
stiff hat is relished with keen enjoy
ment by every other man in sight. If
another man finds that the crush has
come in reality to his own headgear
after laughing wildly at the supposed
hard luck Of his friend, then the situa.
ton is a thousand times funnier.
A young man with this human trait
strongly developed swung down WASH
ington street ut a sharp pace. He car
ried his macintosh flung over his arm.
AT the crossing Of 9th avenue there was
a rattle of coin and a shower Of nickels
and dimes rained on the pavement from
ONE unknown region. No one was
more astonished than the young man,
and he stopped with great interest and
watched passers eye the scattered cur
rensy askance and then shyly. as in
fear Of a trick. Finally all Of the pieces
had been picked up by small boys and
other sensible pedestrians, and still
there was no trace Of the source. The
curious young man enjoyed the Incl,
dent and the study Of human nature
that it afforded, and had got about two
blocks farther on his way when his
face heightened instantly as he eX-
claimed: by jove! that change fell

THE ROMANOFES' CURSE.

No Gear of the House Has Ever Lived

1t is a curious fact that no Gar of
Russia of the present imperial house
has ever lived to be G5. This, it is
said, is due to a curse pronounced
years ago against the Romanoifs and
explained to Peter the Great by a

Back with Rich Trophies.

Last spring we made notice in these
columns that Mr.. Henry A. SalZer. Of
the John A. Salzer Seed Company.
La Crosse, Wis. Americas leading
Seed Growers and Merchants, was i'll
Europe In search of rare seeds and
novelties for the American farmer and
citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue,
his trip was an eminently successful
one. 1t is brim full Of rare things. OF
especial merit we name the Bismarck
Apple, bearing the second year; the
Giant Flowering Star rhlox; the Ger
man Coffee Berry; and for the farmer
the Victoria Rape; Germanica Vetch;
the Lathyrus sllvestris; the Giant
Spurry and Giant Incarnate clover;
Sacaline; and dozens Of other rare
things.
This wide-awakc firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is seat for
5 cents postage, would be cheap at 81

MUMMlES MADE TO ORDER.
A Mexican Town Where They Will
Turn YOu Into One for 500.

A Mexican Town Where They Will
Turn You Into One for S25.
One OF the most interesting towns in
Mexico Is Guiana ua;o--pronounced
Wonawato-in the State of tho same
name, although visitors to our sister
republic seldom 60 there. And of all
the interesting sights of Guanajuato
the most remarkable is the Panteon.
or burial ground. The authorities OF
the Panteon will guarantee to turn you
into q mummy in three short years. or
probably in less time should their
word be doubted. The family of the
deceased person, If provided with
means, pay to the cemetery the sum OF
so for the occupancy Of a space in the
vault for three years. At the expira-
ton OF this period the body is taken
cut perfectly mummified and neatly
stored away in an underground cellar
or catacomb.
In this catacomb stand side by side
between 100 and 20 mummies, some
with all clothing still intact, others en-
tirely destitute OF covering. while
others boast merely boots and shoes.
This peculiar d spcsition of the dead
is due to the exceedingly rocky forma-
ton. making grave-d lgging an impossi-
bilitv. A remarkable feature is that
within a certain period of time after
the three years have expired the sur
viving members OF the respective dead
can reclaim the body to do what they
wish with it.
The poorer classes are doomed to
the pit, about the only place where
success in digging secures what we
would call a grave. This srace is
therefore reserved for the poor and
here hundreds AMI hundreds OF bodies
have gone In to come ou5 skeletons.
These are then aired, blcached. and
thrown in the heap of confusion at each
end of the catacomb.
The skulls, shown a trife more re-
spect, are used for ornamentation, be.
ing piled in layers in uniform order
from the floor to the cell ng in the
real of the bone heap. 1t is a weird
scene, not easily banished from the
memory.

MULCHING IRISH PoTATES.

Some practical farmers we'll understand that
much larger crop of potatoes can be obtained
when the manure is of long, stringy character
than when well rotted manure or special fert-
lizers are introduced; but this knowledge has not
yet spread to the vegetable grower critically So
called says Meehdn'S Monthly. Yet it is amazing
what an enormous crop of potatoes may be pro-
duced by the of such material. II any of our
readers desire to excite the envy of their neigh
bors by growing superior crops the coming season,
let them prepare the ground well, and when plant
ing cover the potatoe Gets with mere straw
other kind of litter several inches deep before any
earth is drawn over them and they will certainly
have this personal satisfaction.
Draw out trench deep enough to allow for the
straw and sufficient amount of soil that
put the potatoe sets in the bottom about foot
apart, and cover directed and the result will
be surprising. Those who have tried it say that
the tubers not only large in and produced
in abundance, but the skins of the potatoes
themselves have bright and clear look, which
makes them an object of beauty, as we'll as de-
sirable crop from the purely vegetable point OF
view
In this warm climate we would also recommend
that course manure be spread on top of the ground
or inches deep in order to prevent evaporation,
until the vines are large enough to cover the
ground, or the heat will be likely to dry out the
ground and kill them
We shall be pleased to learn results from any
and all VIII o think advice worthy of trial.
