HIGH PRICE FOR A MAIDSTONE.
Warm Competition over an Heirloom

W peiitlDn oNeT
Credited With Remarkable Cures.
For piece of stone which for
century and half has been credited
with marvellous properties in healing
the bites, scratches and stings OF ami
mails nearly 500 was paid at an auc-
ton held in Loudoun County, Vir.
ginia.
The stone is known as the Loudoun
maidstone, and its apparently wonder
full cures are numbered by the thou
sands. The stone was obtained from
the Indians by Ferdinand Fred, a
German, who settled in Loudoun
County at the foot of Catoctin Noun
tains, not far from where the battle of
Balls Bluff was fought in the Civil
War. There is no lack of faith in the
stone among those who have investi-
gated. Many have come thousands
of miles to have it applied, while on
several occasions, it is said, the stone
has been conveyed to a distance by a
member of the family, and its applica-
tion proved beneficial, especially in
cases of dog cat and rattlesnake
WOunuS.
The estate of the Fred family went
into court last fall for final settlement,
and there was considerable litigation
over this stone, which old Fred had
especially stipulated in his will should
be kept in the family and its use given
free.
Judge Niccl finally decided that the
3D. Il, L.
bought in by an heir for $3.50. 1t was
auctioned off again and was bought by
DR.. Turner, of Snickersville, for
$6S25O 1t is said that there were
several bidders from elsewhere, but
the feeling was so strong against al
lowing the stone to go out of the
county that only heirs of Fred were
bidders. Some encyclopedias have a
history of this stone, which has long
been considered n remarkable one.

that this is the best remedy that can
be applied. The boys themselves
have been sinned against more than
they have sinned, and punishment for
them does not seem fair, and, as has
been stated, is in many cases ineffec-

been given for this offense-tramp
boys would not be so numerous as
they are to-day, and Hoboland would
be deprived of one of its main re-
sources in keeping up its strength. AS
yet there is no uniform legislation in
all the States by which severe pun
ishment can be given tramps who
travel with boys, but it is at least
possible for magistrates to give tramps
the full benefit of the law as it applies
to vagrancy, and in some communities
this is now so severe that special leg

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


We have always had some doubt
about the proftableness of growing
rape seed for sheep to feed off during
the summer. The rape is a branch of
the mustard family, with small seeds
and needs to be put in soil that is
made very mellow by cultivation. 1t
grows rapidly and has large leaves for
so small seed. But our experience
in feeding down sowed grain with sheep
is that they will trample down twice
as much as they will eat. We find
this to be true even of clover, and it
is much more true of any plant that
grows in soil easily poached by sheep
in wet time. The sleeps foot is
very small. It will sink into cultiva-
ted soil, especially in wet time, and
it will spoil all the herbage the hoof
touches.

The mint bureau of the treasury
declares that the worlds production
Of gold for the year 1898 was about
$27J, 900, 600. This is 81, 900, 900
more than the output of 1895. The
prediction of the government experts
is that it will exceed $500, O00, 600
in 1900, and that it will grow for at
least century. In 1898 the United
States alone produced 500, 600, 600
worth of gold. Supposing all of this
gold to be made into solid blocks, each
an exact cubical foot in dimensions,
the $65, 600, 900 worth OF yellow metal
would furnish 900 such blocks, which,
if piled neatly, one on top of another
in a single stack or column foot
square, would be nearly twice as high
as Washington monument. 1t would
be quite job to pile up these blocks
in the manner described, inasmuch as
each of the 900 would weigh exactly
222 pounds.

Cultivate the same as corn, keeping
down all weeds and grass while it is

it is in bloom and feed as long as it
lasts. Cut it close to the ground and
feed it either as it leaves the field or
cut into two-inch lengths and feed in
that condition. Cut each day only
what you want to feed that day, and if
you take it to the barn, don't lay it
down, but set it up, as otherwise it
will heat rapidly. If you cut it shorter
than two inches the stalks will get
crosswise in the cows mouth and make

Green Maturing and Nitrogen.

The nitrogen of the soil is the only
one of its valuable constituents which
is subject to serious loss by natural
agencies. Whatever the form in which
nitrogen is applied to the soil, whether
in farm yard manure, in dried blood,
in ground fish, ground bone, tankage,
cottonseed meal, sulphate of mmonia,
or nitrate OF soda, it sooner or later is
so changed by natural agencies as to
become soluble and in this form the
soil cannot hold it. With heavy rains
1t is dissolved in the downward sink.
ing water, and with it is carried ulti.
mately into the streams and rivers and
to the ocean.
None of the other valuable elements
of plant food are subject to this loss
by teaching to anywhere near the same
extent. This loss of nitrogen can be
prevented in large measure by the
growth of green manuring crops. The
agencies of nature which convert nitro.
gen into the soluble form are most
active during the later summer months.
At the close of summer there is com.
monty present in all fertile soils large
quantity of nitrogen in soluble form.
If the field be left bare during the
autumn, winter and early spring this
soluble nitrogen will be washed out of
the soil. The only practical method
OF preventing this is to cover the field
with growing crop.
For this purpose those crops which
grow late into the fall will be found
best, although even those which are
killed by autumnal frosts will before
their death have taken considerable
share of this soluble nitrogen out of
the SOIL 1t will have become part
of the vegetable tissue. In such form
it is not soluble and will not be sub.
ject to waste until this vegetable tbs.
sue rots, as it will do with the advance
of the warmer weather of the follow
ing season. 1t should be the aim of
the farmer to leave his fields bare just
as little as possible. Keep the fields
covered, keep the soil filled with feed
ing rootlets of growing plants. These
hungry rootlets will take up nitrogen
which would otherwise be lost. It
will be locked up in vegetable tissues
and safely kept to meet the demands
of the growing crop of the next sea-
son. Green manuring, then, may be
made an important means of saving or
conserving soil nitrogen. n.-Prof. w.

School Girls Adopt Dress Reform.


Tight lacing and everything else in
the way of personal attire that might
be detrimental to health are to be dis
carded by the girl pupils in the High
School of Newark, n. j. Abandon
ing stays and tight fitting waists, the
girls will wear pretty, loose shirt
waists. "Dress reform" is now ap-
parently the motto of the High School.
The girls are enthusiastic over it, and
the teachers are delighted, for they
have argued long and persistently for
it and have made it the subject of
lessons and talks in the class rooms,
and of private talks to pupils whose
health they feared was being injured
by tight lacing. The reform has been
hastened by the preparations for the
physical culture classes soon to be
started.
The methods of dressing most pop
ullr among the school girls have long
given the teachers cause for worry.
Recently a young woman pupil was
asked to return home and arrange her
clothing 30 that her waist measure
would be added Ito by several inches.
This was deemed necessary for her
health and comfort at study. With
most of the girls, the trim, neat belt,
fashionable and pretty, appears to be
an irresistible temptation and to pull
in Just another notch was the easiest
thing in the world for them to do.
Arguments in favor of ample breath
ing space were made, and everything
is now satisfactorily settled. The
girls are to wear to school pretty,
loose shirt waist, part of the gym
nasium costume which has just been
adopted, and in which the basket ball
class will appear at practice. The en-.
tire suit is of black material, and in
cludes bloomers, which are to be worn
only in the gymnasium and black
stockings and slippers. The shirt
waist is to have red braid trimmings.
The suit is pretty and practical, and
the girls are much pleased with it.
The bloomers are very full and grace
full and not unduly conspicuous. The
waist, not being a blouse, is proper to
be worn in the class rooms. An ad-
