Ever since the discovery of Daguerre
there has been an eager desire to record
by photography the colors as well as
forms of nature. Colored pictures have
been made by what is called "triple
heliochromy," the making OF three
negatives Of the same object through
differently colored screeEs-red, green
and violet-and then by process of
printing from the three negatives, pro-
ducing colored picture. A later and
simpler method is invented by DR.. Jolly.
by which the picture is made through
screen ruled with lines Of orange, yell
lowish green and blue, so close to-
gether that the separate lines cannot
be seen. A transparency is printed
from this negative and covered with
a glass ruled with red. green and vio-
let lines, and when the lines of two
are properly placed the separate col
ors -ecombine and the transparency
shows the colors of the original. Pho
tographs made by triple heliochro-
my" when viewed through the krom-
scop or chromoscope-an instrument
like a stereoscope--appear
not only in their natural colors. but in
the true relief Of nature. that is. as il
solid and real.-Elizabeth Flint Wade.

SLOW PULSES IN FAMOUS MEN
They Could Not Have Done TAelc
Work III They Had Been
Nervous.

DR.. Schweninger, Bismarck's ply
sician, says that his great patient. the
greatest European character of his
period, had pulse of only 60 to the
minute. The normal pulse is ten or II
beats higher to the minute.
This interesting revelation in re-
gard to Bismarck's pulse is likely to
cause food of speculation. The great
European of the opening days of the
century. Napoleon of France, to
whose greatness Bismarck has como
nearer than any European who has
lived since, also had very slow pnlsi:.
Both were men of prodigious energ7
and of ceaseless mental activitr.
Could either have done the work which
he did ii quicker pulse had helped to
exhaust the frame? Gen. Sheridan's
normal pulse was less than that CT
Bismarck
Slow pulses are sometimes met with
among men who are prominent il,
their vocations without being great.
Osgood, the celebrated American foot
bali player. who lost his life in the
Cuban service. had pulse that beat
even more slowly than Bismarck's, Ma
poleon's or Sheridan's. Every man.
whether great or obscure, should
know the rate at which his pulse beats.
IT his pulse is one of the few very slow
ones raging fever may give it the
normal beat. to the deception of his
doctor or nurse. II his pulse is squicker
than the normal slight fever may
send the beatings up to an apparently
alarming point when there is no cause
for alarm. 4 slow pulse may be the
saving of a nervous temperament and
profong the days of the men who cam

MANURE ON THE FARM.
The Subject Set Forth by One Who Has
Made IL . Study and Speaks
by tho Card.

The preponderance of experience II
in favor of keeping the manure near
the surface as a rule, and we believe
that this is the true plan, and we
would add, on the surface as nearly as
possible. Many OF our friends still
seem to be imbued with the old liking
for well-roted manure. We do not
want to let our manure get well rotted
before we apply it to the land. The
place to rot the manure is in the soil,
where you have the soil to absorb ev-
erything. II the manure is spread on
the surface the soluble parts wash inn
mediately into the land, and the loss
is smaller than in any way the manure
can be treated, far less than piling in
the barnyard. either under cover or
out. The evaporation from manure
spread on the surface is mainly only
water, while the evaporation from
piled manure il largely ammonia in =
volatile form. No matter how well
the manure is handled there will al
ways be more loss from il in the barn
yard than in the field. Manure on the
surface keeps the soil moist and pre-
vents the baking of clay soil. In
our experience, right on .op as near
as may be il the best possible place
for the manure.
La,ely have had an example ON .
small scale of the value of surface ma
nuring on clay soil. A year ago we
built at our college a new lecture hall,
laboratory and greenhouse for my de-
partment. To get . level site for the
buildings we had to excavate into
red clay hillside and pile the clay TAX
en- from the excavation in the lower
levels. On the grounds around this
building have been trying to convert
this clay into a garden. Grass plats
were formed and large shrubbery beGs
prepared and planted in the untamed
clay. After everything was planted
good coat of manure was placed on the
surface and left there. Last summer
was the hottest and d-yest ever known
here, but it was pleasant to see how
things grew and fourished In that
clay, which was merely the snbsoil
piled three or ieur tsst deep.

Some men admire activity so much
that they sit all their lives watching
other men work.
When times are hard and money
scarce the farmer should do Just as
other business men have done-curtail

CASE OF JOE HEPBURN.
Ne Had Trouble In Getting Hanged for
Z Crime That Bothered HIS
Conscience.
0opyright, I1Q9.l

Three months after Cummerford
had elected town officers and become
law and order town old Joe Hepburn
came riding in on his mule and in
quired for the president of the whilom
vigilance committee. When he had
found his man, he said:
1--WE come to give myself up to be
hung, and being it's getting late in the
day, you'd better get to work at once. =
what have you been doing?" was
asked.
I'm the man who killed Bill
Sharpe"
"Yes, remember, but we can't hang
you now. We've become law and or
der. You have to go and be arrest
ed and tried and hung in the regular
way"
The old man said it didn't seem to be
the square thing to put man to all
that bother, but he walked about until
he found the city marshal, and then
said to him:
I'm old Joe Hepburn, the man who
killed Bill Sharpe"
"How long ago was tbat?" was
asked.
"About four months"
"Then I've got nothing to do with it.
They ought to have lynched you, but
being they didn't, I'm not going to
bother about it."
"But I want to be arrested"
"Can't help that. We amt dating
things only three months back. You
might go and see the mayor, but /
don't reckon it will do any good"
After hunting about for half an hour
the old man found the mayor and told
him who he was and what he had
come for.
"Yes, remember about Bill Sharpe"
was the reply. He was bad 'un. and
if you hadn't shot him. was going to
do it myself. Nobody around here is
going to arrest you for that"
But it rests on my consciezee. and
] feel that ought to be hung" pro-
tested Joe.
makes no difference. Everything
was wiped out when I was elected. and
we amt going to bother about Bill
Sharpe. There's justice Of the peace
next door, but don't think he'll bother
with you"
Old Joe went In to see about il. He
found the justice engaged in a game
Of old sledge, and had scarcely begun
to state his case when he was inter-
rupted with:
"Dog-gone il, man. hain't you got no
sense in your head! Do you reckon I
want to hear = rigmarole about Bill
Sharpe when I've got hand in q
gamer
"But soy shot him."
"What Of it? Twas looking fer him
myself at that very hour. Ycs get
right out o. here and 70 home"

ICopyr pht. .ssa.l

There were half dozen of ms wait.
ing for the stage TO resume its journey
after dinner at etc De Longs, when
q man came riding up on a mule and
said he would like about five minutes
talk with our crowd. Being told to
state his case, he said:
Gentlemen, my names Jim Long
Mebbe none o you ever heard of me
but I'm reformed hoss-thief. In my
time hev stole over 200 hosses, but
I'm out of the business for good and all
If l wasn't wouldn't be here to-day
"Where are you from?" asked the
colonel.
"From Grass Valley, sir. That's the
county seat, you know. was sent to
jail over thar fur year for stealin'
my last hoss. and I've got ten months
yet to serve"
Then you've broke Jail, eh?"
'No, sir. You see, thar amt any Jail
over thar except an old house without
doors or winders. Nobody kin be
locked up, and every prisoner has to
be boarded by the sheriff. He's a
mighty good feller, the sheriff is. but
he can't stand the expense and bother.
He made it pleasant fur me fur the
first month, but since then he's bin
gittin' down on me-"
"How do you mean?' asked the
colonel.
'Why, he wants me to 60. you know.
That's what he's bin doin' fur the last
four weeks-tryin' to crowd me outer
Jail. Only yesterday he called me lot
of hard names and threatened to stop
my grub if didn't GO"
do you mean the sheriff wants you
to escape?"
"Of course. I'm only an expense to
him. you see"
'Then why don't you do it?"
That's the trouble, sir. If I escape
] want to 60 up to San Quentin, which
is hundred miles away. I'm lame and
can't walk. If I only had . hoss I'd
60 quick enough"
''But you've got horse" said the
colonel.
This hoss belongs to the sheriff, sir.
He amt much of hoss, but he'd take
me up to San Quentin, and kin buy
him fur ten dollars. He was lent to
me that I might ride over and see you
folks"
"And what do you want?"
"Why, kurnel, want you fellers to
chip in and make up them ten dollars.
You see the situation. don't you? I'm
sent to Jail. There is no Jail. I'm
burden on the sheriff, and he wants me
to escape, but / don't want to steal a
hoss TO escape on. I've just made up
my mind to let the hoss bizness alone.
Somebody has got to buy me hoss or
I've got to continer to hang around
Grass Valley and beat the sheriff outer
my board. The stage driver knows all
about me-"
The driver was called up. and he said
1t was all as the man had stated, and
we made up shake-up purse Of ten
dollars and handed it to the reformed.

money and made ready to ride away,

and as soon. as l kin pass over the
money fur this hoss I'll sot out on the
