The Mazarin Bibles, as the first edi-
tons of the Gutenberg are called, from
the fact that one was found in the IL
brary Of Cardinal Mazarin, are the
most expensive printed books in the
world. For the one in the Theological
library In New York $4,000 was paid.
At one time during its career it sold for
$4,000, Bernard Quaritch, the London
book dealer, paying that for it in 1884.
Later it was sold to Rev. William Ma

it again for s14,750 for the Chelsea

The saddest wrecks in this world are
soul wrecks. Many who set out joy
ousIy on the voyage of life, with
brightest hopes and prospects of at
tanning a career of usefulness, happi-
ness and honor, are wrecked amid the
temptations and snares that beset
them and never reach the goal or ha-
ven of their hopes. Some may attain
what is called success in a worldly
sense-Shat is, they may attain wealth
or distinction or some other object of
ambition, but it is often through ne
farious devices and at the sacrifice Of
honesty and honor. Success attained
by such means is common, but those
who have attained it often awaken to
the momentous fact that they have
paid fearful price for it and have
wrecked their souls. = Lutheran OBJ

JUNE.
Rest ye awhile from labor,
You who are toiling on
For wealth, that perchance may perish
Ere the half of life be gone:
Rest you awhile refreshing
Your spirits at natures shrine;
For she gives us lovers blessing
That strengthens the heart like wine.
Up among the daisies
That bloom on the green hillside,
And down where the merry brooklet
Leaps on like silver tide;
And deep in the forest hidden
Where the sunlight comes at noon,
Spread like feast unbidden
Are the glorious charms of June.

would have, and they shook it off and
scampered around as lively as ever. am

Not long ago l saw in some paper a
statement in regard to persons returning
samples of goods which have been sent
them for examination by various firms;
and the statement was made that although
in most cases request is printed on the
envelope that samples be returned, few
heed the notice.
think many of us must plead guilty to
that charge, and make the suggestion
that the NJ. BIS work reform in that
direction. The samples are sent for our
convenience and when we consider that it
is not only one lot but hundreds that are
sent out, and that much time and material
are taken for this work, we can under
stand how returned samples could be used
again and thus be al advantage in point
of expense and labor to those dealing in
the various lines of goods.

The effect of fertilizer is manifested
on the cucumber plant very quickly
within a few hours of the application.
While the fruit is setting and forming
excessive applications tend to produce
large watery fruit which will not
stand up well after cutting and also
would be deficient in flavor. Ak
In one series of experiments report
ed the varieties selected for the test
were Bismarck and White Spine. The
seeds were started under glass on
April %, and frequent. light sprinklings
of water were given to keep the soil of
the pots from drying out until germina-
ton. Transplanting- was done in the
first week id May, the plants being
set distance of six feet, the holes be-
ing 21h feet across and eight inches
deep. Well rotted manure and surface
soil mixed were used for planting. i
May 10, six days after planting, fer
tilizer was applied at the rate of one
ounce of nitrate of soda to a gallon of
water, quart of solution to each hill.
Similar applications were made on
May Is. % and % and June 8. 9, 10,
% and g. when fruit was setting rap
idly and in quantity. On the infer
tilted check patch the plants were.
just beginning to bloom. On June %
one quart of solution of ~ ounces
Of nitrate of soda to the gallon was
given and repeated July 3, Z, 10 and

result. Weaker applications of fer
tiliZer were made later on, and the

POTATO AND FERTILIZER.

Potash Increases the Yield-Other
Things That Are Told.
Commercial fertilizers influence the
composition of the potato, especially as
regards the quality Of starch it con-
tains, if analyses are to be relied upon.
The value of potash in producing ad-
ditional quantities Of carbohydrates in
growing plants has been pretty well es-
tablished. 1t is evident that the liberal
use of potash not only favors the
growth of the potato in regard to yield,
! but also tends to increase it's content
of starch! Nl.s:
German experiments indicate that a
moderate use of nitrogen tends to
| slightly increase the content of starch
in the potato. An excessive use of nj
trogenous fertilizers is to be avoided.
According to Virginia station reports:
Potatoes grown without fertilizers
contain the greatest amount of dry
matter. The addition of fertilizers
tends to diminish the dry matter and
also as the quantity Of fertilizer used
Is increased the amount of dry matter
is diminished.
| Potatoes grown where sulphate of
potash is used contain more dry mat
ter than those where muriate is used.
Very little effect is produced on the
starch by either the kind or amount Of
fertilizers used; their tendency is to in
crease rather than to diminish it.
Potatoes grown with muriate Of pot
! ash contain less dry matter but slight
ly more starch than those grown with
sulphate Of potash.
! Neither the kind nor amount Of ferti-
lizer has any appreciable effect on the
percentage of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash contained in potatoes.
