Cleaning windows with snalls.

An old colored woman selling snails
occasionally makes her appearance in
certain streets here, says a Philadel-
phia paper. She carries an old basket,
in which the snails repose on freshly
sprinkled leaves. These are not sold
as food, but for cleaning the outside
of window panes-an old practice still
in vogue In Kensington. The snail is
dampened and placed upon the glass,
where it at once moves around and
devours all insects and foreign matter,
leaving the pane as bright and clear
as crystal. There are old-established
business places in Kensington where
the upper windows, when cleaned at
all, are always cleaned by snails. There
is also a fine market for snails among
the owners Of aquariums, as they keep
the glass clean and bright.

so.l Analysts - . Guide

The Ohio Experiment station re-
ceives many such requests as the fol-
lowing: "Will you make a chemical
analysis Of my soil to determine wheth-
er I need nitrogen, potash OF phosphor-
ic acid, and, II so, what will be the
charger"
To this request we make the uniform
answer that such an analysis would
be very expensive, and when made
would usually have very little value as
q guide to the use of fertilizers for the
reason that the chemist has as yet dis
covered no reagent which possesses the
same capacity for extracting plant food
from the soil as that Of the living It's
sues Of the plant. To illustrate: Pot
ash is q characteristic constituent OF
granite rocks, and a soil formed from
such rocks may appear rich in potash
under the chemists analysis, and yet
If that potash be still in the form OF
granite sand it will be yielded up very
slowly to the feeble solvents of the
plant.
Again: In some of the southern
states are immense beds Of rocks con-
tanning large percentages Of phosphoric
acid; but If these rocks are merely
ground and mixed with the soil their
phosphoric acid, which has resisted the
solvent action of soil water for ages,
will continue insoluble, and hence the
necessity for treating these ground
rocks with sulphuric acid, in order to
make their phosphoric acid available.
Still further: When a piece OF marshy
land has been drained 1t is often found
that the crops planted upon 1t tall to
thrive, although it seems to be very
rich in nitrogen. The remedy here is
to add barnyard manure. something
which savors strongly Of carrying Goals
to Newcastle; but the explanation is
that the semi-aquatic vegetation which
formerly occupied the land decays SO
slowly that cultivated crops cannot get
nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added,
however, it sets up a fermentation.
which converts the nitrogen bearing
MATERIALS luLO d mOIo oOAuOA0 0A~
hence available form.
For these reasons the only practical
way Of learning the needs Of a particu-
lar soil is to make experiments on
that soil. after the general plan OF
those described in the bulletins Of the
Experiment station on the matnte-
nance of fertility. and thus learn
which combination Of fertilizing ma
terials will produce the greatest effect.

The minister went forward and took
her hand. He didn't speak, he couldn't
break her dream Of happiness at one
blow. He held her hand, looking down
at her with troubled eyes, when she
suddenly met his gaze. and in her
eyes he thought he saw d faint re-
proach. Wa it thus that men wooed
the women they loved? sorely per,
picked, the minister bent and kissed
her on the brow.
They sat down on the wide, old
fashioned sofa. She, noting his silence
and seeming coldness, pitied him, and
told herself that his unaccustomed-
ness to women made him shy, and
that by sweet, womanly means. she.
when she became his wife, would woo
him from such ways; and he. looking
at her and thinking that he u
break her heart, pitied her. All. sweet,
sweet pity, so near akin to love.
Woman-like, and to cover his EN-
barrassment, she began to talk IN a
D~ervous, hurried way. OF her gera-

A flush of shame mounted the Rev
erend Mr.. Wigglesworth's brow. He
mopped his face with his handkerchief,
the thought had crossed his brain that
the Widow Mclean didn't know a
blessed thing about his sensations dur
ing the last twenty-four hours.
The girl talked on with a shy con-
seriousness. The minister had never
thought her pretty before, and now her
earnest, almost somber eyes looked at
him gravely as If questioning this
thing that held them apart.

tatingly. She gave him a look of sweet
reproach. ELIZA, was there ever an
other?"
Never" she said.
".And you have loved mel" question
ingly.
From the first" she said simply.
The Widow Mclean had been married
twice. The last scruple had vanished
from the Reverend Mr.. Wigglesworth's
mind, and he drew her into his arms
and held her silently. A man has
wisdom straight from the gods WING
is silent at such a time.
Some hours later when he went
home by way Of the stars, he didn't
even glance at the young widows
house, he didn't even remember that
she lived there.
She, although she did not remain
the Widow Mclean, when tender
thoughts Of her former pastor came to
her, felt always a flush Of shame when
she, remembered that night on the
church steps. And to the day Of her
death she believed that by her unseen
~ conduct OF that night she had lost
the minister. q
Eliza, secure in a good mans love.
and unconscious Of any debt to the
widow, dwelt at peace.

WooIng Of, the Minister.

The most careless observer among
the villagers might have noticed some
thing unusual in the Reverend Mr..
Wigglesworth's manner that night.
The Widow Mclean was the first to
see it; she dropped her eyes in blush
ing confusion and did not lift them
until the end Of the service when b
led the choir in a triumphant song.
MI. Wigglesworth was a bachelor
and a scholar, little seamy along the
back, a little frayed out al. the wrists.
q timid, self-conscious, gentle. forget
full man with dreamy, patient eyes for
ever turned inward on a brain toiling
with distractions.
Miss Eliza Ellington noticed it. and
as the sermon progressed the mem
bers of the flock turned in their seats
and stared at each other. Some mys-
FERROUS change had taken place in him.
He stood erect, his figure was animal
ed, he looked years younger; In his
usually pale cheeks the color came and
went and his eyes were alight with en-
thusiasm.
AS the congregation passed out from
the church, IN all sides there was UNI
stinted praise Of the sermon.
The minister hurried home to his
modest room, flung himself into a chair
by an open window, and gazed on the
beauty Of q moor flooded Southern
might. The perfume Of the jessamine
that climbed about the window was
in his nostrils, the exquisite song Of
ia m~ocking-bird pouring forth its mel
.ody from q near tree was in his brain.
''she loves me-" he muttered, and
again, ''she loves me-"
He knew women so slightly. Seen
through a veil Of mystery, they were
such formidable creatures and yet, the
priest in him giving place to the man.
he had often longed to lift that veil. He
had felt a sudden heartache for ties
he had never known-sweet, warm. hui
man ties.
That night. as he had gone up the
steps Of the church the Widow Mclean,
who was as comedy and young and
pretty as any girl among his flock. had
stepped on her dress and fallen down
ward. The minister had lifted her to
her feet, her soft fingers had closed
over his hand. you are 80 good"
she had murmured, and with q quick,
spontaneous burst Of passion, and q
modesty that was enchanting. she
liftsd his hand. pressed her warm. red
Hips to It. and glided into the church.
