BOOKS IN GUEST ROOMS.

After month spent in visiting sew
eral homes, a lady expressed surprise
that she found so few books in the
various rooms which she had occu-
pied.
In two cases there was not scrap
of reading matter of any kind although
everything else had been provided
brush and comb, glove and boot but
toners, a manicure set, and other con-
veniences.
In only one home did she find
variety of books in her room, and
the enjoyment of that little bookcase
will never be forgotten.
The fact that there is an abundance
of literature in the rest of the house
is not sufficient, for there are often
odd minutes which might be enjoya-
bly, spent over a book or periodical
just at hand,
A busy mother, who had little lei
sure for reading at home, wrote con-
corning pleasant visit: ST read four
books during my short stay, and they
did me world of good. You see they
were books that I'd been wanting to
read for years, and it was such a de-
light to find them in my room that I
couldn't resist the temtation of read
ing a page or two before Invent down
stairs the first afternoon. Then every
time went to my room I read little
and it was surprising how much ac-
complished.
1t rested me more than anything
else, and now those books and my
dear friends home will always be as
sociated."
A choice selection of books, changed
perhaps, to suit the tastes of varying
guests is guest-room attention which
no thoughtful hostess will forget.

TWO OF Il KIND.

Patrick O'Mars, a private in the
Ninth Regulars, went to the colonel
| of his regiment and asked for two
weeks leave of absnce. The colonel
was severe disciplinarian, who did
not believe in extending too many
privileges to his men, and did not
hesitate in using a subterfuge in evad
ing the granting of one.
"Well," said the colonel, s'what do
you want two weeks furlough for?"
Patrick answered.: Me wolfe is very
sick, and the children are not we'll,
| and if We didn't mind, she would like
to have me at home for few weeks
to give her bit of assistance"
The colonel eyed him for a few mo-
ments and said: "Patrick, I might
grant your request, but got letter
from your wife this morning saying
that she didn't want you home; that
you were nuisance, and raised the
devil whenever you we're there. She
hopes won't let you haye any more
furloughs."
'That settles it. I suppose I can't
get the furlough, then?" said Pat.
"No; Pm afraid not, Patrick. 1t
wouldn't be well for me to do so un-
der the circumstances"
1t was Patrick's turn now to eve
the colonel, as he started for the door.
Stopping suddenly, he said:
''Colonel, can I say something to
yez?"
"Certainly, Patrick; what is it?'
"You won't get mad, colonel, if I
say it?"
"Certainly not, Patrick; what is it?"
''I want to say there are two spIen-
did liars in this room, and Pm one
of them. [ was never married in me
loife.''

"REMEMBER THE MAINE."

Capt. Sigsbee, writing of the de-
struction of his battleships in the Jan
nary Century, denies that Remember
the Maine!" was used as a motto by
the navy in the late war with Spain
He also indicates a perfectly proper
use of the phrase by patriotic Ameri-
cans. He says:
We have heard much of the motto,
Remember the Maine" If we are
satisfied that the Maine was blown up
from the outside we have a right to
remember her with indignation: but
without more conclusive evidence
than we have now, we are not right
if we charge criminality to personse
Therefore I conceive that the motto,
Remember the Maine," used as a
able. should like to make the point
here, as I have made it elsewhere
that this great and free country, with
its education, good intention and uni
versal moral influence, may go to war
to punish but not for revenge. ImprOp-
erly applied, the motto, ''Remember
the Maine," savors too much of re-
venge, too much of evil for evil; but
it may be used in an ordinary worthy
sense.
During the recent war with Spain
about seventy five men were killed
and wounded in the United States
navy. Only fifteen were killed. On
board the Maine two hundred and
fifty four men were killed outright
and others died later-more than sew
enteen times as many as were killed
in the United States navy by the
Spanish land and naval forces during
the entire war. In the way that the
men of the Maine died and suffered
there was enough of the heroic to
provide a sound foundation for the
motto Remember the Name" Let
me dismiss the prevailing idea that
this motto was used in the United
States navy, in the recent war, as
battle signal. No United States naval
vessel has entered into action flying
the signal, Remember the Maine"
I am glad that it can be SO stated; yet
one may excuse many mistaken ex-
pressions in the heat of action.
To this the editor of the Century
adds:
1t may be said on the authority of
Capt. John r. Bartlett, during the war
chief intelligence officer of the navy:
The signal, Remember the Maine,"
has never been displayed on United
States man of-war or by the army or
navy, with one exception. A signal
quartermaster Can enlisted man) of
the Coast Signal Service hoisted the
signal from the station at Port Eads,
at the mouth of the Mississippi, when
a transport loaded with troops was
passing out to sea. In reporting the
passing out of the transport, as was his
duty, the quartermaster added to his
message to headquarters the fact of
display Of signal, which was received
with great enthusiasm by the troops
He was severely reprimanded by re-
turn message over the wires.

RAILROAD CARS.

An ordinary passenger car on a
steam railroad costs from 81, 1000 to
$1,000 and weighs $4,000 pounds, or 19
tons. A mail car, which costs from
$4,000 to 50, 800 and is shorter by about
one quarter than the ordinary coach,
weighs $4,000 pounds, or Is tons. A
baggage car, without the baggage in
it, weighs $4,000 pounds, or IA tons,
and costs about as much as a mail car.
A sleeping car, with observatory at
tachment, Ii terary annex and culinary
department, costs anywh ere from 20
to % tons.
A full train in notion, as little fig
uring will show, is no light affair. The
ordinary weight of the railroad loco
motive for passenger service, inciu-
sive of tender, but not of fuel in the
tender, is 40 tons. One baggage car
weighs IA tons, and one mail car 16
tons, bringing mp the weights of the
locomotive and the baggage and mail
cars to 70 tons. Six passenger cars
at an average of 10 tons, weight of
baggage, of fuel carried, weight of a
train made up of locomotive and
eight cars would be 184 tons, or 1858,
900 pounds, exclusive of the passen-
gers and mail matter.

OUR FARMERS.
WASTING FERTILITY.

Some one estimates that it has cost
the farmers of this country about $40
600 900 to buy the fertilizers they have
used on their lands and crops the past
season, inclu ding both spring and fall
crops. This is a very heavy tax when
summed up but we do not think it was
money badly invested or wasted, AS
some would put it. Probably most of
it was applied in such manner that
those who used it thought it
increased their crops to an extent of
greater value than the cost, else far
mers and gardeners, most of whom
like to, and some of whom have to
get full value for their money, would
not continue to buy and use such fer
tilizers or recommend them to others
and thus increase their use year after
year. While farmers are thus paying
out $40, 100000 for fertilizers, says
Farmers Guide, it occurs to US that
they are allowing more than this
amount of barnyard manure go to
waste in the United States every year
by careless and improper handling.
Much of this vast is the result of care
Iessness and some from ignorance.
There are very few farms to be
found where the manure is all used
up and carefully applied when it will
do most good, but on almost every
farm there is more or less waste by
IL, rs
hold the fertilizing elements in the
LIQUIDS, and next by allowing soluble
parts of it to be washed away by the
rains.
You scarcely pick up farm paper
or attend a farmers institute that you
don't see or hear something on this
subject of saving manure, but all are
not converted from the error of their
way vet, and it does seem like it is an
uphill business to try to work re-
formation in this matter by agitating
it longer. Men will assent and ac-
knowledge the truth of the argument
and even promise to do better, but old
habits will cling to them still, even af-
ter they have seen the folly of them.
They will not use straw literally for
the reason that it is little inconven-
lent to get it, nor gather leaves nor
haul sawdust to absorb the liquids, be-
cause it takes time. He can't haul the
manure to the fields in winter because
the fields are too soft to tramp over,
he is hindered from building shed,
cellar or water tight manure pit IN
which to store his manure by reason
of the amount it would cost, and there
is nothing left to be done but to throw
it out of the barn, under the caves
perhaps. Here the rains wash it
away, or the most available and best
part of it, or the sun dries it up, and
once or twice year the lot is cleaned
up and what is left is taken to the
field,

POWER OF PLANTS TO Sc
CURE FOOD.

Some plants require extra care when
young and do best when there is an
abundance of food Immediately at
hand in the early stages of their
growth. There are other plants
which not only have the power to set
free the mineral constituents of the
soil in a marked degree but they can
penetrate the subsoil for it and can
through organism attached to their
roots utilize the free nitrogen of the
air. Among those, says DIR. Roberts,
are the clovers and other kinds of
plants belonging to the leguminous
or pulse family.
Some plants start out in life with
greater reserve or nourishment to
draw upon than others, and hence do
not have to depend upon the soil un-
til they are we'll started in life. Plants
like animals vary greatly in their abil-
ity to digest and assimulate the nour-
ishment presented. With the feeding
of animals it is comparatively easy to
adjust the food to their respective
wants, but to do this in regard to the
plant is more delicate and difficult
matter. This is accomplished to a
certain degree through the intelligent
rotation of crops as practiced by our
best and most progressive farmers.
Intelligent rotation can be made to
accomplish many things not secured
in the haphazard methods of farming.
1t cannot only be made to supply the
food best adapted to certain crops by
the action of previous crop but may
be made to destroy large number of
troublesome plants or so reduce their
vitality as to make them harmless.
These important matters should be
given careful attention by all produc-
ers of farm crops.
