Lightning Called on Sinners.

A dispatch from Passaic, N. j., to the
New York Press says:
II hope and pray that lightning will
strike the opera house tonight and kill
every sinner in it," SO said Ford Titus, q
speaker ut the Young Mems Christian As

| Opera House this afternoon.
The cause OF his remarks was the fact
that n minstrel troupe gave sacred con-

enforced in Passaic, Two weeks ago the
Excise Board ordered the police to close

| day three and to .day half dozen out of
the seventy odd liquor dealers were caught
selling liquor.
Church members welcomed the order of
the board. When It was followed closely
by the order issued by Captain Hendry
| that all places Of business. such as dry
goods houses, butcher stores. grocery

The Chief resclnded his order and allow
ed the news and cigar men to keep open to-
day. The town has been dead and the

Que protests against the sacred concert
were made, but the police did not stop it.
All of the stores were closed by the police
with little trouble.
1t Is hardly possible that Passaio will
see many more blue law Sundays.
Dwight l.. Moody will begin revival
meetings on next Tuesday.
Preachers com nented on the enforce
ment of the law and the failure of the po-
lice 10 stop the sacred concert tonight.
Arrests for doing business on Sunday are
made under the "Crimes Act relic of

Peter L. II, Smith reached the home Of

evening and was given warm welcome
home. As he mounted the steps Mrs.
Smith and tho children, large and small,
rushed ou5 to greet him and he was over

dropped in with congratulations. Others
sent flowers, and the parlor was well filled

that he was in better health than for years,

Tho CLAIM OF Single Takers tn at the

Ne people, is entirely unwarranted The
condition Of tho people does not depend so
much upon the law as upon themselves.
Healthy, economical and Industrious men
rarely suffer for want Of clothes to wear

Idleness, thriftlessness and intemperanco
produce much more poverty than the sys.

Would prove far more beneficial than the
placing Of all taxes on land. Viciousness
o. any kind Is a bar to prosperity. What
young men expend for pleasure, il prop
erly husbanded, would lay the foundation
FOR afortune. Too many realize this when
youth has fed, and responsibilities begin
81 multiply.
We do not want to place any additional
tax on land, as it is cheap enough now for
any one to secure home If he goes about
y In the proper way. The truth is, farms
nre selling too low, in many cases for less
than the cost of buildings and fences. To
obyiate this evil better prices for farm pro-
ducts are necessary. These can only be
secured by encouraging manufacturers
and drawing away portion of the people
from agricultural production. Hence we
need protective tariff to prevent undue
Importation of foreign made goods. by
Keeping our own people employed, PROS
psrity is assured. One Improvement fol-
lows another; factories are built, railroads
are profitaby employed and prudent and
Industrious citizens are enabled to live
comfortably. In No other country OIL tho

INDIRECT FERTILIZATION.


WAssA nsaAsss Avsaiasas TIE Nstasza
supply Of Existing Plant Food.
In spite Of all that has been said and
written shout direct and Indirect fer
tilization there still exists surprising
amount Of ignorance. The work Of the
experiment stations and prominent sg-
riculturists have brought out the facts
in this line so plainly that II is com.
paratively simple matter for any farm
or to understand this subject without
any trouble. The subject is treated az
follows in The Progressive South:
BY direct Fertilization Is meant the
application Of certain fertilizer materi-
ais which In themselves furnish needed
nourishment to the growing crop. The
plant foods In which most soils are de-
icient and which it is customary to ap-
ply in the form of commercial fertiliz.
ers are phosphoric acid, potash and nj
trogen. Every farmer ought to get ia
miliar with these terms and to learn
from what sources they are derived and
how they should be applied to the best
advantage. 1t is true that the average
soil will contain a certain amount of
phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash
respectively, but it frequently happens
that these Ingredients are not In con.
dition to be taken up at once by the
growing crops, and hence it pays to put
them on in the form of fertilizers.
BY indirect fertilization is meant the
application of certain materials to the
soil, like salt, lime or plaster, which in
themselves do not furnish any Of the
three essential ingredients mentioned,
but by their stimulating action on the
soil render available some Of the natu-
raj supply Of plant food existing there.
1t will be readily seen. of course, that
their action is indirect; hence the term
''indirect fertilizing."
Probably on no crop has this indirect
fertilizing been more extensively prac-
ticed than OH clover Many have no.
ticed the effect of dose of plaster upon
clover. The truth Of the matter is, that
the plaster in itself did not serve as
plant food for the clover, but released
some plant food in the soil, notably pot
ash, which the clover at once assimilat-
ed to good advantage.
1t was also experienced by many Of the
same farmers that in time it became
difficult to get catch Of clover on these
lands. The cause Of this was that the
natural supply Of plant food in the soil
had been exhausted, and since the plas-
ter in itself, as already stated, did not
furnish any of the three essential plant
food ingredients they had to be restored
from some other source before the clover
would grow as before. The shrewd
farmer at once sees that it Is far more
economical to keep up the natural sup
ply Of plant food in his soil than to allow
it to become exhausted by continuous
cropping without any renewal.
