Common Streets in 1s4s.

Howe in 1S4S in his Historical Collec-

business one, Main street (meaning -Su-
perior) has the extraordinary width of

FOR THE FARMERS.

The Shropshire has round, solid
body and a good fleece of six or eight
pounds, and is an excellent sheep for a
small flock upon the farm and for do
nestle use. Its size and the nature of
its mutton and wool suit the demand,
and it is most often seen atthe fairs and
in the market.
To be effective mineral manures for
spring and summer crops must be ap-
piled early. They need some of the
spring rains to dissolve the fertilizer so
that the plant roots can make use of 1T.
Besides, as weather and soil become
warm and dry there is less need of the
fertilizer, as the soil itself releases more
of it's own fertility under such condi-
tons.
There is no better way to fertilize
poor land than to sow it with peas,
using phosphate of lime to'furnish the
mineral fertility that this crop requires
to perfect the seed. Tt is not nitrogen
which the pea crop most needs other
than what the pea roots supply to dis
integrating air in the soil and Eberating
its nitrogen. But to form the grainaboth
lime and phosphate are required. With
these supplied the soil will grow richer
every year.

Accommodating Station Master.

A gentleman recently returned from
travelling in England brought back the
following story, which he tells with
such hearty laughter as to make one be
lieve that to have seen the incident
were better than to read about 1T:
The engineer of 4 train, or rather
driver, as they call him in England, not
shutting off steam soon enough, ran
his train some distance past the station.
He backed down again, but either
through carelessneSs or defective ma
chinery his engine ran some distance
the other way. The station master, ex-
ceedingly wroth at the first miscaicula-
ton, was simply spluttering with wra th
at the second, and running down the
track he yelled out:
s'Hoid on, therei Stop where you
are! Wen just shift the station up to
you, being as you can't get up to it.''

DOCTORING A WILL.
John Lloyd did not visit the Carolina
bank on the seth of May. AL his time
was occupied in preparing for the NOR
row.
Herbert Lathrop was at his usual sta
ton at the cashiers window until the
bank closed at four o'clock, when he
went home.
He assembled the stairs to his room,
closed and locked the door after he had
entered: then he unlocked his trunk,
and took therefrom sheath-knife. The
blade was fully six inches long, and was
sharpened fit to cut a hair in twain, even
if suspended in the air. The handle
was of bone.
He glanced along the keen edge of
the blade. "Ah. Uncle John, this night
your lease of life runs out-the mine
will soon explode.
