Now let us look at complete ammo
mated fertilizer. We will take what
is commonly known as standard grade
of complete fertilizer, running, say,
2 IL per cent. of ammonia, per cent.
of available phosphoriC aCid and l per
cent. of potash. As have above de-
mOnstrated, acid phosphate COSTS $2.O7
more than last year. This is equiva-
lent to a little more than leo. per 100
pounds. In making the Ia, 8 and
fertilizers, 1900 pounds of aCld phos
plate would be necessary, so at loo.
additional cost per 100 pounds, the adj
diticnal cost for acid phosphate would
be sl.2O,
If cotton seed meal was used for the
ammonia, 1t would take approximate
~ 700 pounds, and cotton seed meal is
now worth $500 per ton more than
last year, which is equivalent to SOC.
per 100 pounds, and 700 pounds would
cost $2.lO more than it did last year.
Now add zoe. for extra cost for the
bags, and you have 50 so per ton more
for the materials than we paid for
these same materials last year.
II tankage or blood was used for the
source of ammonia instead of cotton
seed meal, the advanced cost over last
year would be $50 per ton, as ammo
MIA from tankage or blood is now SOC.
per unit higher thallIast year, so for
2 IL per cent. of ammonia, the extra
cost over last year would be 81 so.
sdsphAe of ammonia is the only
other source of ammonia commonly
used in the manufacture OF fertilizers.
Twelve months ago this article was
selling at about $4,000 per ton. We
paid for it this week $62 90 per ton.
Now, assert that the price of fer
tilzers has not advanced nearly 90
much as the price of raw materials go
ing into them. Let us see who ia TO
blame, if any one, for the advance OF
these crude materiais. Take Pyrites
We buy from Spain more than three
fourths of al we use. Nitrats OF sos
da: We buy ientirely from South
America. Potash salts We buy en-
tirely from Germany. SO it cannot be
said that our company controls, or is
in anywise responsible for the adj
vance Of these materials, as We have
no interest whatever in any Of these
properties, either directly or indi-
rectly.
Take Phosphate rock. We do mine
smali proportion of our wants Of
phosphate rock, but we mine none for
sale, and we buy from other ninss
more than two-thirds Of what we con-
sumo. so no one will suppose that We
are anxious to put up the price Of
phosphate rock.
AS for cotton seed meal. we have no
interest. directly or indirectly, in any
cotton seed oil mill, so we are not re
sponsible for the advance in this arti-
Gle. Blood aud tankage are made by
the large packers in the West, aud we
have no interest and no control over
these products in any way.
Why, then should the Virginia Car
olinA Chemical Company be blamed
for the advance in the cost Of crude
materials, and would it be BUSINESS
like for US to want an advance in crude
materials, Of which we have to buy al
most all our needs and Of which we
produce absolutely nothing, except a
small quantity Of phosphate rockY

kid with three straps over the instep and
the toes sprinkled with black beads, amid
which some tiny rhinestones sparkled.
Those are the dancing shoes of the we'll
dressed women ! discovered at my ball.
There were some stunning frocks in evil
dencc as well, Of satin antique, now al
ways worn in preference to duchess satin,
while paune takes a third place in popular
ity, and to my eyes it would seem as If
all the women wore nothing but lace for
garnishment."
How 10 Use Lace.
"And has your acute vision also observed
that tho lace on all these fine frocks is laid
on fiat in the old fashioned style, in order
to bring out the beauty of the pattern, that
is, If it is lace Of any charm and value
whatsoever chimcd in Maisie.
mo, | had not remarked that, but I've
not failed to be impressed with the wonder
full amount of silver gray the young matrons
wear. A silver gray satin antique, heartened
up with diamonds and point lace and cloaked
with crmine, is Mrs. Jack Astor's ~favorite
gown Of this season."
"Ah, my dear girl, one must have the
figure and ~coloring Of Mrs. Aston for that"
interrupted Maisie, casting a glance of frank
disapproval at her own thin, dusky beauty
in a big mirror opposite her chair.
you should wear warm coral pinks, rich
golden yellows, in light cloudy goods suita-
BILE to youth. Besides, don't let yourself be
influenced in behalf of the heavy laces. They
are not for the young and sprightful-chear
machlin, Louis Sixteenth and point de nice
are the types the dressmakers insist on for
young girls. A perfect model for a slender
thing of just your age / saw only yesterday
sent from my conturiere to its owner, a bud
of this season. Its skirt of pale lavender
point esprit, striped perpendicularly every
few inches with an insertion of mechlin, fell
upon a foundation p~etticoat Of pure spring
sky blue. The simple little body with its
'kerchief finish about the shoulders was also
made OF lace and net over blue and the orna-
ments to be used with this were a necklet
and pins set with amethyst. II the wearer
of that gown is in the least a pretty woman
imagine what a lovely picture she will make
in it."
A sly smile grew about the callers red lips
as the clock chimes out the half hour and
she Struggled her fower-like face into the
depths OF a chinchilla- lined collar.
perhaps you will see that lovely picture
in the point esprit gown sooner than you
guess, my dear, and for your compliment
on my taste l am no end obliged"

this group, and that this influence is oblit-
Grated to some extent by the Teutonic ele-
ment in the far western group. The chest
type is due to some influence outside of col
lege life, or to a different form Of physical
training than is in vogue in the different in
stitutions.
Finally. 1t is of great interest to notice
that the Nebraska woman has a much larger
lung capacity. as she has larger chest girth,
and this item alone would indicate a higher
type Of physical ability and a previous life
of greater activity than is found in either
OF the two other classes. In this regard the
eastern college seems to have a better rec
ord than would be anticipated from the
girths. and it seems to be a fact, derived
from a tabulation of the measurements Of
Oberlin students who have taken systematic
exercise, that this element rapidly increased
and that the Oberlin student should stand
next to the Nebraska student in this
particular.
These, then, are the main variations. Tho
comparatively slight causes that produce
them are encouraging in that they seem
to indicate that a correction Of the evils Is
readily reached by the application of the
proper remedy. 1t effeCtually argues the
necessity and benefit of physical culture.

solder all the important little mediums, and
do all the def and delicate work necessary
in such departments. Three hundred and
more women work on such matters in a
single New York City factory and a new
workroom Of wide capacity is just being
added which will give work to 100 more.
There are five or six expert forewomen in
structing and supervising the others. In the
factories at Harrison, Schenectady, Pitts
burg, Chicago and other places there are
double and treble this number of women and
girls. Some are merely mechanical special

Of the same order of substance. Others are

factories are anxious for intelligent girls to

sufficiently verscd in their subject to speak
intelligently, even eloquently, of the stock

the humbug electric hair brush, or electric
belts, TO really high-grade apparatus. Flee
tricity is an agent that bends itself readily
to the sensationalist and the smatterers in
many lines, and IT. has been taken up by
many people who live by dipping the ignorant

the subject hears CT these just as he hears
Of fakirs in other callings and professions,
but the fact remains that, although the num-
Der Of women graduates in electricity is not

those who have mastered the study have

on this subject to the important scientific

of much moment. Wherever electrical and
scientific deductions are of value this

OF Prof. W, f. Ayrton, the noted electrical
authority, and is recognized in Great Brit
ain, on the continent and here in America,
