Ground Bone as Fertilizer.

AS fertilizer for certain purposes
ground raw bone deserves high place.
If it is the genuine article, and is very
finely ground. Much of that which is
sold for that purpose is not fine enough
and not only requires too long to be-
come available, but in some cases never
becomes so, as it seems TO become coat
ed or glazed over so that the acids of
the soil cannot act upon it. The bone
is not adapted for a fertilizer for field
crops, or for general use upon light
soils, but in strong soil well filled
with vegetable matter it is good for
seeding down TO grass, as its decay in
the soil may require years during all
of which time ii is feeding the grass
crop. Yet we think we have found
better results from USING it around
grape vines and the bush fruits than in
any other way. Their nitrogen
enough so that when useu fl, the early
spring 1t will promote a good growth
of wood and foliage, just enough for a
thrifty bush or vine, but not enough
to continue that growth during the fall,
while the phOsphoric acid will help to
make a growth OF fruit and jucier and
better favored fruit than would grow
without it. 1t certainly lacks potash
and unless upon new soil its effects
would be improved by using about half
the same amount of muriate potash
with it. which will make the wood stiff

per acre must depend upon the num-
Der and size Of plants. but liberality is
generally the best economy.-American

seek master Hugh" be said. land follow
his fortunes" And that very day he de-
parted. Rose was deeply affected when
she heard of this resolution. She ionged
to see her father, and confide TO him all
the trouble she had so lately endured
all that had been on her mind concerning
Robin; but, with further thought, she
decided that it was better to retain her
vexation and trouble within her own
breast until she had confessed all TO the
marquis; for now she resolved to- delay
that confession no longer.
And 50 Jacques went, and Rose only
gave him a thousand loving messages for
her father, and babe him tell of her adj
venture, and her final safety. ard Of the
death of the villain Gasparde. Nothing
Of all her sorrow did she desire her father
to know yet. He must think of her only
as happy and content.
The next day there was a gathering of
stout and sturdy men from far and near,
armed with seryiceable weapcns: and the
forest was sea he'd, and the lcbbers'
cave discovered place never known. till
then by the dwellers in that region. But
the brigands had fed--their chief no long
er with them; and the cavern was empty
deserted. The robbers never returned
to it. 1t is probable that the horde broke
up, and the men went in various direc-
tons to gain an unlawful living else
where; but they never were heard of
again. Raiuonde went to Italy, and
thenceforth was unheard from.

paused to find whether he were not de-
ceived No! family still. but sufficiently
perceptible not to be mistaken, the ecto
of those voices came to his ear on the
still, clear air Of the morning, and the
sound came from the direction in which
he was going. He could scarcely doubt
that they proceeded from parties in
search of him.
But at that very moment, as he was
fastening forward, he also heard sounds
from the opposite diIection-a confused
mingling Of mems voices, with harsh, dis
cordant shouts, and the crashing and
tearing OF forest branches. Gould it be
that his captors had aroused from their
torpid slumber, discovered his escape and
were pursuing him? He paused to look

about his face, and long and glittering
knife brandished in his hnnd.
With sudden and firm resolution, Louis
turned, unarmed as he was, save with
the stick which had served thus far TO
clear his path, and prepared to meet him.
With louder yell OF triumph at be-

The Pea Vine Louise.

Not long since we said that we would
not give up trying to grow peas, al
though the louise worked a great deal
about us last season, but we hoped
that they might die out or be greatly re-
duced after one or two years preva-
lenee, Now we have the report of the
experiment station at Amherst for 1900,
which says of this pest: LESS has
been heard about this insect than in
1890. though 1t has caused consider
able loss In several places in the South
Whether it will increase in Importance
during 1901 is at least doubtful" As
1t. appears upon clover and some other
plan .. as well as upon the pea, to stop
planting peas would not starve them
out. The season probably was not ia
vorabie last year to many species of
insects. as a warm spell started eggs
TO matching early. and it was followed
by a cold period that was too severe
for the very young, and probably many
persisted, But it is not best to trust
the work entirely to nature when we
can find way to assist in the good
work of defending our orchards and
plants by spraying or by other means

YOUNG INVENTORS.
Useful Discoveries Made by Children
in Their Play.

in Their Play.
Many cases are reported where mere
children have made discoveries in their
youthful diversions which have ex-
erted wonderful influence on i'm
portant industries in thei- delevop-
ment. The children of Dutch spec
tacle maker happened TO be playing
with some ca their fathers glasses in
front OF the shop door. Placing two
of the glasses together they peeped
through them and were exceedingly
a neighboring steeple brought, seem
ingly, within a short distance Of their
eyes. They were very naturally puz-
zled, and called their father to see the
strange sight. He was no less sur
prised than the children had been. He
conceived the idea that he might utilize
this strange feature in the construction
of curious toy which would be pro-
ductive OF both wonder and amuse-
ment among his friends. He did so,
and Calico, hearing of this toy that
was said to make distant things appear
tlOnt dA saw at W nat IL HeIp
it would be to the study of the heavens.
This was the first inception of his teIe-
scope.
When the poor Geneva mechanic Ar
gand invented his burner. after secur-
ing an adequate and comfortable flow
of air to the interior, making what he
termed a double current burner, long
endeayored TO devise some means by
which the current supplied to the outer
circumference of the flame could be
strengthened and regulated, and his
efforts might have been longer de-
layed had 1t not been for the thought
less juvenile experiments of his little
brother. One day, while Argand was
busy in his workroom and sitting be-
fore the burning lamp. the boy was
amusing himself by placing bottom
less glass flask over different articles.
Suddenly he placed it over the fame
of the lamp. which Instantly shot up
the long. circular neck of the flask with
increased brillianey. Argand was not
the man to let such a suggestive occur
rene escape him. THUS the Idea of the
lamp chimney was born, and in short
time perfected and patented Weekly

The pickpOcket who tried to pinch"
likely looking mans Docketbook and
found his fingers in the grasp of two
swapping turtles was Japanese. A
native traveller in Japan had bought
the turtles, and, being afraid that he
would be charged heavily for their
transportation as live animals on the
train. he placed them in a small por-
table trunk which he carried. When
he got on the train he held the trunk so
carefully under his arm that thief
who was in the crowd was sure the
man had something valuable In the box
So he got into the same car aud took
an adjoining seat Taking the first Op-
portunity he cut a small hole in the
trunk with 81 arp knife and slipped
in his hand.
About this time the turtles conelud-
ed that there was something doing
and they took hold of his fingers in a
hearty way Gritting his teeth. the
thief tried to withdraw his hand. but
he couldn't, Then he hOwled and the
owner of the trunk seized him and
turned him over to the train people,
Who at the next station gave him to a
policeman. The incident, however,
wasn't closed until the traveller was
punished for violation of the railway
regulations.

killing Cut Worms.

The poisoned bait for cut worms is
made by mixing at the rate of one
pound of Paris green to fifty pounds
of bran, the latter first moistened with
water. but dry enough to crumble.
Some add little sugar or molasses to
the water. to make it more tempting.
and others mix cut green clover or clo
yer hay with it, that birds may not be
so likely to pick it up, but the above
are the essential parts. Put spoonfuls
of it near each hill or along the rows
where the worms are very plenty, just
before night, and the worms will prefer
Ii to the plants, and be found dead
there in the morning. Do not use it
where poultry will get at it. Larger
animals will scarcely be likely to pick
up enough to do much harm, but it is
better to keep them away and to bury
it after it has done its work
