VaccinaCed Land.

Impoverished land is now ''vaccin-
ated" on the continent of Europe It
is generally known that land is en-
riched by planting it occasionally with
aluguminous crop like clover or lucerne,
the roots of which absorb more nitro
gen than they take from the ground.
Where the nitrogen came from was the
problem. Messrs. Hellriegel and Will
farth have discovered that the absorb
ton is due to minute organisms, sort
of disease in the roots, which, when
the supply of nitrogen in the soil be-
gins to fail, appear as an excrescence,
draw nitrogen from the air, and so en-
rich the soil again. Experiments have
been made in France and Germany to
hasten the growth of the disease by
sprinkling the fields with soil in which
tuberculous crops have been grown or
with water in which they have been
stepped. In Prussia a field was sown
with lupins; one part of it was then
treated in the ordinary way, the other
inoculated from all old lupin crop; the
yield in the latter part was five and q
half times as great as in the other.

The youth and his friend said:
''Huh." eyer lynn, Thompson" 'Oh,
go to blazes." HE never said it."
"Oh, what a lie." "Huh." But de-
spite these youthful scofings and en-
barrassments they knew that their
faces were deeply flushing from thrills
of pleasure. They exchanged secret
glance of Joy and congratulation.
They speedily forgot many things.
The past held no pictures of error and
disappointment. They were very happy.

Presently, however, they began to be-
lieve thatin truth their efforts had been
called light. The youth could see this
conviction weigh upon the entire regi-
ment until the men were like cuffed
and cursed animals, but, withal, rebel
lious.

eye, went to the youth. Il wonder

Presently they knew that no firing

the grimest moments now could not
conceal an anxiety that made them
frantic. 1t was, perhaps, that they

kerry became steadied roar. Long
and accurate fringes of smoke spread
out From the top of small hill
came level belchings Of yellow flame
that caused an inhuman whistling in
the air.
The men, halted, had opportunity to
see some of their comrades dropping
with means and shrieks. A few Law
under foot, still or wailing. And now
for an instant the men stood, their
rifles slack in their hands, and watched
the regiment dwindle. They appeared
dazed and stupid. This spectacle
seemed to paralyze them, to overcome
them with a fatal fascination. They
stared woodenly at the sights and, low
ering their eyes, looked from face to
face. It was a strange pause and
strange silence.
Then above the sounds of the outside
.commotion arose the roar of the lieu
tenant. He strobe suddenly forth, his
infantile features black with rage.
"Come on, yeh FOOLS" he beloved.
"Come on. <Yeh can't stay here. Yeh
must come on" He said more, but
much of it could not be understood.
He started rapidly forward with his
head turned toward the men. "Come
on" he was shouting. The men stared
with blank and yokel-like eyes at him.
He was obliged to halt and retrace his
steps. He stood then with his back to
the enemy and delivered gigantic
curses into the faces of the men. His
body vibrated from the weight and
force of his imprecations And he
could string oaths with the facility Of

shoulders. 'Oh, well, general, we went

"As far as you could? Did you,

now" He wheeled his horse and rode
stif1y away.
The colonel, hidden to hear the jar
ring noises of an engagement in the
woods to the left, broke out in vague
damnations.
The lieutenant, who had listened with
an air of impotent rage to the inter-
view, spoke suddenly in firm and un-
daunted tones: II don't care what a
man is-whether he is general, or
what-if he says tn boys didn't put up

Lieutenant" began the colonel, Sc
verely, '"this is my own affair, and I'll
trouble you
The lieutenant made an obedient
gesture. Albright, colonel; all right"
he said. He sat down, with an air of
being content with himself.
The news that the regiment had been
reproached went along the line. For a
time the men were bewildered by it.

Paul Deroulede, who is the central
figure in the French plot, is one Of the
most kindly hearted men in the world,
and one of the most foolish. He is no

for the bulk of those who dragged him
into the Boulangist affair and bolted
across the frontier when there was the
slightest danger 1t was he, with

compete with a dye which is chemical
l ly identical with pure indigo itself
Whether it has the lasting qualities OF
the natural indigo is disputed, for nat
ural indigo has in its composition GER
tain sub-products whose efficacy is as
serted, although their precise function
is difficult to determine.
The result of this double competition
in Europe, joined to bad seasons in In
dia and an artificial currency which
weighs heavily on all Indian industries
and manufactures, has proved calami-
tous to indigo planting in Behar
Prices have fallen by about one-thrd as
compared with the average of the past
ten years. Nor can this be assigned to
over productions; for, according to 2
statement by Sir William Hudson, the
area under indigo cultivation in India
has been reduced by over one-third.
The situation is one of great gravity,
nor is it susceptible in this country of
the heroic remedy indicated by the ac-
ton of the United States custom house,
which, according to a recent statement,
while admitting the natural indigo
free, has classified the artificial article
'as coal-tar color" and imposed on
it a duty Of thirty per cent. Indeed, it
Is not yet possible to present the case
with an assurance of accuracy or COM
pleteness, and our figures, although
quoted from experts, have to stand the
scrutiny of adverse criticism. The first
point is as to the lasting quality of the
artificial substitutes Lord Charles
Beresfords question in parliament
raised this issue, and we are informed
that the investigation instituted by the
government clothing department has
led to the rejection of all substitutes in
favor of the natural dye. A careful
and comprehensive inquiry from dyers
and manufacturers is said to have con-
firmed that conclusion. The Behar
planters are so confident in this respect
that they propose to show at the Paris
exposition fabrics dyed with the COM
peting coloring matters, and subjected
to the same exposure to wear, atmos-
phere and damp. Their efforts in this
and other directions will be watched
with sympathy by the public. Under
the existing conditions as to price and
cost of production, the outlook before
them is gloomy. 1t almost seems as II
the calamity which has overtaken the
sugar growers of the West Indies, in
competition with the beet sugar of Ger
many, now impends over the indigo
growers of Bengal, and that the exist
ence of another British industry is in
peril.-London Times

the world is chronicled in the names of
street A few months ago the Munich
pal Council of Ledignan, town in the
Department of LIE Gard voted that a
new street in their town should be
called Rue Picquart. Last week, dur
ing the excitement which followed the
reception of the bad news from Rennes
the Mayor proposed that the Rue de

thenceforward be named Rue Alfred

OPIUM SMOKERS IN CHINA.

To learn the actual number of opium
smokers is impossible, but we know the
amount of the foreign import of this
drug and the naive confessions Of re-
formed OPUS smokers tell us precisely
the amunt of opium required to pass
the yin or craving, is one-fifth of an
ounce daily. An ounce or lang is con-
sumed in 5 days, and a catty suffices
for so days -Four Gates are enough for
800 days, and another half catty will
carry the smoker to the end of the year
in comfort A picul is enough, then,
for only % persons, and $4,000 piculs is
sufficient for not more than 100000
persons. The law of compulsion in the
smoker is jus tas imperious for native
opium as for foreign. 1t is a matter
of great interest to know the extent
of the evil
In regard to Szechuen, that very pop
ulous and wealthy province, Mr.
Schjoth, in the Trade Report for 1898,
informs us that Szechuen produces
900 piculs, of opium, and the cult
walton is always increasing, At Chun-
ching, where he is Commissioner, he is
told that 10000 piculs suffice for con-
sumption in the province, and that $4,000
piculs are exported. We may conclude
that the smokers of that province can
not be less that 100000. Since the popu-
lation is 67,000000, the number of
smokers is one in a hundred. In Shensi
on in hundred and forty smoke, in
Szechuen one in hundred In For
mosa one in fifteen is the proportion in
cities where the people are sunk to the
lowest point of degradation, and this
is the largest proportion yet known of
opium smokers as compared with the
general population Shanghai Mercury.
