What the rotation OF crops should be
must depend largely on the quality and
condition OF the soil a. well ~ it's loca-
tiOn. but experience has shown that in
order to economically cultivate the soil
crops must be grown that will not too
seriously encroach on any one particular
element in the soil to tho exclusion Of
the Others, says the Atlanta Journal.
That this 10 not moro generally under
stood 10 the cause Of many failures.
A farmer will find that plowing under
clover or peas or some other nitrogcDous
plant has given him = soil on which he
raises fine crop Of corn, and instead
Of being satisfied with this result he
must needs put theland in corn again
tostill further deplete its fertility with.
out returning asything to Il.
The rssslt b that vhils be usually
obtains good crop of cosn. The soil 10
iu precisely the same condition - 1t was
before the legumes were put In II. and
in order to keep up it's fertility CONSIDER
able more must be spent on fertilizers
Of some SORT. This could have been
avoided had the land been put into
wheat and clover after the first crop of
corn; not only avoided. but he would
have had a second crop Of clover to turn
under. which would have added more
fertility to the soil than was taken from
it by the corn and wheat crops. These
points are perhaps simple, but on them

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Feb. 10.--The most interest
ing feature of todays stock market was
the manner in which it regarded the
Spanish minister's resignation. In view
of the senstiveress in the recent past to
everything connected with the Cuban
question, its disregard of an incident in
volving so acute a phase of feeling Is
noteworthy. The view taken of the sub
ject on the street Is that the possibility
of the danger in 1t had been avoided by
the firm and prompt manner in which
the incident had been treated by the
government. Prices advanced from the
opening of the market. Higher quota
tions from London gave an impetus to
the opening rise. There was no general
setback from the opening to the close of
the market The only thing approaching
it was an occasional pause in the ad-
vance, but this was simply due to a fall
ing off in the buying and not to heavy
offerings. Upon renewal of activity the
upward movement began again Ad-
vances were not uniform and were not
simultaneous. Considering the volume
of the trading for the day the rise in
some stocks was notably small. In those
who show large gains the advances were
made at different times, first one and
then another stock or group OF stocks
being taken up and pushed. Total sales
were 395, 900 shares.

"There was a smooth fellow that we
called Parson loaflng about the place.
He was as cultivated rascal as ever
lived on his wits. l hurried him into
a black suit of mine over fresh linen,
had him shaved, put the Bostonian's
own plug hat on him and told him to
follow me. At the bedside I introduced
him under the name of a distinguished
Chicago physician and remarked how
lucky it was that he should be in the
section. Parson proved a star. His
perfect GOODNESS restored confidence.
He pronounced it slight attack of
something no one ever heard of. but
peculiar to the region and never fa-
tai. Then he mixed up a dose of red
pepper, cheap whisky and peppermint,
told the patient to swallow it right
down, and then had nothing more to
do than to keep the poor fellow from
strangling. This and the old bachel-
or's imagination saved him. Otherwise
he would have died from fright. Par
son solemnly charged $500 fee. A
month later l received this watch. l
will never be rich enough to want a
finer one"

LOST by GAMBLERS
Millions That Change Hands on the
Turn of a Card.
From Tid-Bits.


Benson, the jubilee plunger, thought
it worth while to write or have written
for him a book telling how, in 1887, he
spent and gambled away a fortune of
G250,000. Yet Bensons was by no
means a record; indeed, if a list of the
biggest losses in single year by gamb-
lers were compiled it would be found
that Benson would not be in the first
hundred.
The famous Lady Castlemaine was
one of the most notorious gamblers of
her day. Pepys, in his amusing diary,
tells us that in a single night her losses
amounted to over G25, 900, and that, too,
in a time, be it remembered, when
money had two or three times it's pres
ent purchasing power.
Nell Gwynne, actress and court IA
vorite beggared heself times over and
over again at the gaming table. Her
contemporary, the Duchess of Mazarin,
niece of the famous cardinal of that
name, raised in many ways large sums
of money, always to lose them in the
card ROOM
Charles James Fox, as we'll as being
q great statesman, was a notorious
gambler. He lost enormous sums, and
managed to get through several for
tunes. His own estate and fortune
passed out of his hands very early, and
then Lord Holland paid for him G140,-
900 to rid him of his debts.
Fortunes that came to him afterward
by marriage We're similarly gambled
away in the gambling clubs of ST
James and Pail Mall. Fox always took
his beating like a man. he was the
coolest gambler of a gambling age, and
watched the turn-up of card on which
thousands depended with an apparent
stole Indifference.
The clubs at the end of the last CEN
tury were hot beds of gambling Lord
Stavordale lost G11,0O0 at one sitting
at Almack's one night, and was rising
to go when the winner offered to throw
him the dice for double or quits; LORD
Stavordale did so and won.
At the Cocoa Tree. a famous club ir
it's day, there was in 1880 one famous
| evening, of which the records are still
| preserved, when a sum of G1S000O de.
pended on a single hazard.
AS an instance of the enormous sums
| lost even early in this century, it may
| be stated that the club known as Crick
| ford's was started in 1927 by fish
| monger of that name; by keeping &
| hazard bank he retired in 1910, twice
| over a millionaire.
To come to more recent times, the
| late Lord Waterford lost on the turf
| and by his eccentric wagers of Immense
sums, the precise amount of which /
| would be impossible to set down. The
| Marquis of Hastings plunged till h,
| became at once the terror and the JOY
| of the racing fraternity. His losses OF
"Hermits Derby" were considerable
over 100000.
When Mr.. Arlington Baird died it wal
| computed that his losses on the tur
| alone amounted to close on half a mil
| lion.
