Care of the Aged.

In old ago the blood does not flow so
rapidly through the veins rs it does in
fouth, and it is for these reasons that old
people require more especially to be clothed
in warm clothing and to live in warm
rooms, as in a great measure they are de-
pendent upon artificial heat to keep them
warm. This is the reason why sudden
spell of very cold weather proves so disas-
lrous to people who are well advanced in
life All those who have the charge of
aged people must attend well to them in
this respect if they wish to keep them in
health us long as possible Old people
also require food ut moro frequent inter.
vals than when they were younger al
though the actual quantity they take must
lot be SO large.

inspection oil Fertilizers.

"A recent bulletin issued from the Maine
experiment station gives the results OBJ
tanned from the second inspection of fer
tllizers for the year 1895. The first in
spectlon consisted in making analyses OF
manufacturers samples. This last inspec,
ton of samples selected by a station
representative at different points in the
state from goods which were exposed OF
offered for sale. These samples were very
carefully taken in accordance with tn,
provisions of law which seeks to guard
the rights of the manufacturers, and they
certainly represent the particular lots OF
goods from which they were selected.
The comparison which follows shows
very plainly what are the facts. It may
be said that on the whole it appears that
the manufacturers intend to deal fairly
with the public in the matter of their
guarantees. remembering always, of
course, that no manufacturer can be held
to have guaranteed more than the mini
mum percentage in which any ingredient
Is stated to be present
Comparing the station sample with the
minimum guarantee, the station sample
was, in nitrogen, practically the same
twehty-seven times, poorer nine times,
better twenty-one times III available
phosphoric acid, practically the same
twenty times, poorer seven times, better
thirty times; in potash, practically the
same seventeen times, poorer fourteen
times, and better twenty y-six times
1T is quite customary for manufac
lures, - continues the bulletin, to state "a
minimum and a maximum guarantee for
the percentages of the ingredients of their
goods, as for instance the guarantee for
available phosphoric acid would be S to 10
per cent. The above comparisons indicate
that the manufacturers do not intend to
do much more than make good the mini
mum guarantee, and that this is all the
purchaser can safely expect
1t is gratifying to note that as Il rule
the fertilizers sold in the State are well
up to this guarantee. Indeed, there Is no
case which appears to be an attempt to
defraud, although in "a few instances the
particular lots of goods sampled are not
quite as good as they should be "

Striking Demonstration OF the Respect
Mexicans Have For IL.

The respect which our flag commands
at home and abroad, ON land and on sea,
has ia the past been often demonstrated.
No incident To my mind Is more striking
than that which occurred in Mexico, when
Hon. joel II. Ponselt of South Carolina
was the UEit "A States HIicister ut that
court Ii Was Immediately following an
election whiah was bitterly fought, and
the defeated party was desperate In Its
disappointment. The excited populace
took possession OF the artillery barracks
and planted batteries along the streets,
and the streets flowed with blood. While
the firing was going on the widow or a
viceroy of Mexico, who lived in the adjoin-
ing house 10 that OF our minister, trem.
bling with fear and almost overcome with
excitement, sought his home and appealed
TO him for protection. While engaged In
assuring her OF full protection at his hands
a shot was fred at him which passed
through his coat and lodged in the shutter
of his balcony window.
The maddened mob, as he disappeared.
then cried out TO fire in the window and
break down the gates. AT the very mo-
ment when passion was running highest
and the men had become maddened with
desperation, ready TO batter down the gates
and walls surrounding the house, Mr..
Poinsett directed the secretary of the lega-
ton TO throw out the American flag, which
he did. and then the minister and secre-
tary, In full view of the excited crowd
stepped forth on the veranda beneath its
folds. Instantly the shouts were hushed,
the fury of the mob began 10 abate, and
the muskets dropped by the soldiers sides
which moment before had been pointed
with deadly intent at the home and person
of our minister Dread and awe of the
flag quieted the mob He announced that
he was the accredited minister of our gov

the mob melted away, and guards were
placed by the insurgents by the minister Q

Grants Dominant Characteristic.

If were asked to express in one word
the most dominant characteristic of Gen
eral Grant, | should say loyalty" He
was loyal to his country, loyal TO his cause
loyal to his family, loyal to his friends.
This trait was In him so we'll developed
that he could not understand the lack Of 1t
In others. There were two classes of men
for whom he had the most supreme con-
tempt, and those were liars and towards.
Magnanimity was almost as strong fea-
ture in the character of General Grant as
loyalty, and this was shown in many lit
tie things. Thus after the surrender at
Fort Donelson he had called General Buck
nor aside and said to him, General, do
not know In what condition the fortunes
of war have left you; but, handing his
pocketbook to his late adversary, II hope
you will accept this. "-General Horace
Porter
