WOOD ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.
Least Obnoxious and Best of All
 Bound Coil ETarfoboro

Least Obnoxious and Best of All Round Soil Enrichers
 Good wood ashes are usually looked upon simply as source of potash. While it is undoubtedly true that this potash is very available and is taken up by the plant at once, the good re- suits from applying this fertilizer are partially due to the small percentage of phosphoric acid, ranging from 1 to 2 per cent, and quite a percentage of lime, amounting in some cases to 35 per cent In soils of mineral origin the lime is very effective in liberating plant food, particularly potash. The combined effect, therefore, of all these elements in wood ashes is always bene- ficial. Ashes have always been con- sdered an excellent fertilizer. The supply, however, is rapidly decreasing, and in many cases 1t is impossible to obtain them. We depend chiefly on Canada and even that source is not all ways reliable.
 Furthermore, the wood ashes now on the market are exceedingly variable in composition. Some contain a great deal of dirt, and not a few lots have been leached for making soap before being sold for fertilizers. This leach ing process removes nearly everything that is soluable and is particularly effective in taking out the lime re- mains and even leached ashes can be applied with profit. The ashes should always be bought subject to analyses or the purchaser should require a guarantee as to the percentage of po-

The Countryman's Difficulty With The

The Countryman's Difficulty With The
 Hotel Water Button.
 This is a tale of pressing the button.
 Blaine Viles, of Skowhegan, tells it to me. l don't know where he got the facts. Couldn't have been in Skowhe- gan, of course.
 But, wherever it was, couple from the country came to the hotel of which the tale is told. Of course, this may have happened in Bob" Haines's hotel in Skowhegan. But I doubt it, for Bob" has told me many times that it is liberal education for man, woman or child to stop in this hotel five minutes
 Rural parties in question asked to be up. Left them standing in the centre of the room looking around
 Over the electric push button, of course, was the usual card directing a guest to ring once for ice water twice for hot water etc. It is evident that the first business of the new arrivals was to study the card.
 In about five minutes the bell on the annunciator in the office commenced to ring-prin-n-ng, prin-n-ng; prin-n-ng prin-n-ng !-giving the hot water call over and over. The number shown by the rural parties.
 The boy rushed into the washroom and drew a pitcher of hot water. Still

the bell kept sounding steadily, two rings in quick succession.
 "Git move on!' shouted the clerk to the boy. Them parties in slumteen must be considerably fused up on the hot water question. They must have cold feet"
 The boy was already half way up stairs, running like a deer. The bell still kept ringing.
 The clerk, crazed by the noise of the bell, stood up in chair, saying things in rapid succession, and held his hand on the gong, dulling it's sound.
 The boy tore into the room with his pitcher of hot water stopping. The new arrivals, man and wife, were standing before the electric button. Their eyes were on the card. The man held bowl carefully under the button, with his head turned away, so that the hot water wouldn't squirt in his eyes, button with regular stroke, They were doing their best to get hot water strictly according to directions
 Here, stop that" yelled the boy to the woman. Here's your hot water"
 The man with the bowl lowered that article and looked at the boy
 "What!' says he--the man from the rural districts-"D'ye have to bring it in 8 pitcher in the old fashioned way? Wal, snum Whats the trouble with yer waterworks here? I've been pressin' this button accordin' to the rewles here on the card. and there hain't a alarmed drop of hot water come out yit. When things ain't worl1in' ye ought to hang up a sign sayin' Out of Order That's the way they do on the weighin' machine up to Sile Cobb's groc'ry store"
 And when the bellboy came out of his swoon he told the clerk, and the clerk went gravely upstairs with tiny visiting card, on which he had written Not Working"
 He carried spike and a hammer and after gaining admission to Room Slumteen he nailed up the card with the spike.
 The guest surveyed his work with interest.
 There, that's bus'ness' said the man from the rural districts "Ef she aint workin,' say so. And eff it's goin' to trouble ye any to fetch water up here, me and the woman will come down ter the sink and wash up Jest as soon dew it's not."-From The Lew iston Journal

about these South African reptiles is that some of them present certain struc- tural resemblances to mammals. One of the most remarkable reJoices in the name of Pareasaurus Baini, and a very perfect specimen, obtained by Professor H. G. Seeley, is now in the British Mu- scum. It was found in the neighbor- hood of Tamboer Fontein, Cape Colony, at the foot of the Nieuwveldt range. As the professor states, it can be compared with the known groups of reptiles, re- cent and fossil, as well as with the the latter in the characters of the pelvis. the shoglder girule and the lore ana hind limbs. In other respects 1t is even more like reptile. Still, the general outline of the skeleton is curiously sug- gestive of some heavily built, clumsy mammal.
 Africa is indeed land of geologicaI as well as of other wonders, and with good luck the pedigree of the mammals may yet be traced to the point where they branched off from a parent stem, possibly reptilian. The southern part of the continent has remained above the sea during later secondary and tertiary times, so 1t may have been one of the nurseries in which the larger mammals were developed to take, in due course. the place Of the great eptiles.--London standard. z

THE POPULARITY OF GUINOL.

Guignol, the Paris Punch, is not to be turned out of the Champs Elysees after all. Not only the little ones but good many of their elders will be delighted, for the entertainments given in the lit tie theaters under the pleasant shade of the trees in the famous promenade of the French capital are of very anus ing character, ranging from little farci- cal sketches to grand spectacular dra- mas 'in five acts and sixteen tableaus," and even little mystery plays, that are certainly survival from very ancient times. A very distinguished French statesman is said to have been very fond of witnessing the puppet perfor- mances. One day clerk in his depart ment was brought before him to be re- for being late.

THE EFFECT OF FEAR ON
 WOUNDS.

| Reports that the Boers are using un- fair projectiles are still to the fore, and one of the latest stories is that bullets have been found dipped in verdigris. If by verdigris is meant acetate of cop- per, it is about as likely as shell gold to be found in Boer camp, although 1t is possible that either the cartridge cases or the nickel covering of some of the bullets have become oxidzed from
 exposure. Some reports, however, If they get to the ears of the wounded are likely to dc them more harm than ver- digris, which would not necessarily have any very deleterlous effect on a flesh wound, for the fear of poison in a
 lacerated wound under certain circum- stances is in itself quite sufficient to
 give a wounded man tetanus, or lock-
 jaw, than which no more horrible com
 plication exists. Thus for long time
 1t was thought that the natives of the
 Solomons and other neeighboring is-
 lands lately added to the Empire used
 poisoned arrows, and many white men
 shot by them died in tetanic convul-
 sison, including one very horrible case
 of a commander in the navy who had
 made a special study of tetanus. At
 length the French Governor of New
 Caledonia, noticing that the symptoms exhibited were not consistent with the
 use of any known poison, appointed a
 medical commission to inquire into the affair, when it was discovered that the arrows of the natives were not poison ed at all, although constructed in such a way that small piece of the bone point almost always remained in the wound. The irritation produced by this prevented the wound from healing quickly, and the mental disturbance produced by fear, and perhaps change of climate, did the rest. It was dis covered at the same time that the na- tives of other islands who firmly be- lieved in the poison theory seldom suffered much inconvenience from the arrow wounds, because they believed that the spells given them by their own sorcerers prevented the poison from taking effect.-From The Pail Mall Gazette.

T am surprised we should never have met there" The false alarm about cherished Parisian insti- tuition was due to the fact that the city surveyor went round recently to inspect the little theaters, which belong to the municipality, with view to having them painted afresh before the opening of the exposition.-London News.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
SECRETARY DAYAND CLERK HEJY- LETT RE-ELECTED LAST NIGHT.
Name of New schoolon Gamer Street to be the worthington Hooker School Communication from the Boy s' Brig ado Henrd-NIr. Malone Reelected In- sprctor of Buildings.

The board of education held it's regu- lar meeting last night. Superintendent Kendall was not present. A represen- tative of the Fuller & Warren Co. was present and it was expected that Shea- han & Groark of this city would be rep resented and be heard on the question of awarding the contract for heating the new school on Gamer street to the former firm. No representative of the latter firm was on hand, however, SD the matter was not brought up at the meet ing.
 The annual election of secretary, clerk and inspector were held and re- suited in the reelection of Horace Day as secretary, George T. Hewlett as clerk and Dennis J. Maloney inspector There was no opposition, the election being unanimous.
 The committee on school buildings re- ported. through MT. Harmount, and recommended that the name of the school to be erected at the corner of Gamer and Livingston streets be the 'Worthington Hooker School" after Dr. Worthington Hooker, formerly one of New Haven's leading physicians. MT. f1drI1OuHI Sdlu lIldL Ibe tuOuSHl lliC name would be a very appropriate one as Dr. Hooker was prominently connect ed with New Havens schools, being a member of the board of education from 1857 to 1860
 Dr. Hooker also was interested in the instruction of science in the public schools during those days and wrote '.Child's Book of Nature" which was later adopted as a text book. The rec ommendation of the committee was unanimously adopted by the board.
 The committee on schools reported a communication from the Third regiment Boys brigade requesting the board to grant them Friday, June 29 as hol- day for the purpose of holding an out ing at the shore. On motion of MT. Betts. the communication was referred to the superintendent, who was given power to act.

The report Of Secretary Frank Sever
ance at the meeting held Feb. 20, showed
that the Tillamook Dairy Association
had manufactured, during 1899, 1873 ,504
pounds of butter, for which it had re-
ceiyed $25, ,S76,65, representing 20 cents
and 2 mills per pound for butter. From
milk taken to the factory, Ill ,304
pounds OF butter fat had been extracted
and manufactured into butter, which
give to the patrons of the association 90
cents and mills for their butter fat.
The amount of money invested in the
creamery represented $4sO6 90, and the
association having 1898 OF on hand, il
was the sense of the meeting that the

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The advocates of woman suffrage have
made tremendous commotion in the
country for good many years, but the
sound made is largely in excess of the
results accomplished. One of the great
est obstacles they have met is in women
themselves, the great majority OF women
being against this added burden to those
they already have.-Ios Angeles Ex-
press.
The Telegram doubts the truth of this
statement that 'the great majority OF
women" are against accepting the ''bur-
den" of the elective franchise. 1t is
true thata great many good and inhuen-
tlal women do not desire it, because
they clearly perceive that they could be
in no wise benefited thereby. But
probably the majority of women, either
in good earnest, or for some light reason
or none at all, would choose TO be
electors, II it we're left to the women
themselves. Now, under these circum-
stances, should the men grant or deny
the right of suffrage to women? This
is question that must be settled, for
some years at least, by the voters of
Oregon next June. There are good
arguments on both sides of the question.
But it must be understood that the
average woman will not reason. She
acts better than the average man does
she jumps at her conclusions, and three
times out of four they are right; the
fourth time she is wrong, but it would
be as useless to try to convince her of
that fact as for a farmers dog to bay the
moon for a rainstorm in time of drouth.
For instance, she may take the ground
that the franchise is natural right. To
reasoning mind it is as clear as that
two and three make five that it is not
natural right at all that it is merely
granted right by whomsoever organize,
establish and maintain government.
Hitherto they have been men-always.
There must be some reasons for this.
But no matter; don't go into that; the
woman will beat you for she will not
admit premise nor accept fact in
history.
And, here, did you ever think Of it? on
the whole, broad proposition she may be
right, too.-Portland Telegram.
