PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ia lot of
Phil6dolphians who gathered in the old
Mint building, Juniper and Chestnut

the Treasury Gage an exhibition Of their
idea of wit. The property is owned by
the United States Government and as
several pieces of ground not SO favorably
situated have brought prices per front
foot that would warrant the Government
ii demanding at least $1,000 600 for its
land. the auctioneer at the beginning
stated that no bid for less than that sum
would be accepted.
Chatting the auctioneer,
There was no sound from the crowd Of
FIVE hundred men for few seconds fol-
lowing this announcement: then the idea
Of chatting the auetioneer struck some
one as being funny and he yelled: why
don't you take the limit OFF,"
Another wit suggested: You might

would give s1.0Ge,c00 he should withdraw
the property. Some one offered 81 coo. eco

Quick as a fash Secretary Gage was on
his feet. peering into the crowd in the di-
rection whence the voice came. and point
ing his finger angrily cried:
You're liar"
The man did net take up the challenge.
and the Secretary's remark only caused
the crowd 30 laugh.
- Property Is Withdrawn.
When the noise ceased the property
was Withdrawn. Secretary Gage then
went over to the Union League. where he
had luncheon with Joseph C. Darlington.

After luncheon Secretary Gage said that

Now that fertilizers will be pur-
chased by farmers for wheat,
which is seeded in the fall, it is
not out of place to suggest a few
points on "phosphates" to those
who are inexperienced regarding
the ingredients of fertilizers.
One difficulty met with by man.
ufacturers and dealers is that
when some farmers desire to
purchase fertilizers they ask for
phosphate" AS phosphate is
only one kind of plant food, the
farmer who uses it alone will be
disappointed with the result, as
there are three principal ingre-
dents in all complete" fertiliz.
ers-phosphoric acid, nitrogen,
andpotash. The phosphoric acid
exists in mbinatiou with lime
and is known as phosphate of
lime" or phosphate. " Bones
are phosphate of lime, and so is
the Carolina phosphate rocks
though other matter in small pro-
portions exist in both, but when
the farmer buys phosphate he
cares nothing for the lime, the
main article of value being the
phosphoric acid. If he buys
complete fertilizer he will find nj
trogen the most costly substance,
but if his land demands certain
plant foods then that is the far.
mer's misfortune, and he must
procure them or suffer loss in
yielding of crop, as we'll as of fer
tility of soil. There is no escape
for the farmer from the use of
fertilizers. He may save $40 or
S2O by not purchasing fertilizer
but he will lose perhaps 10 times
as much in the crop. plants must
be fed, and the better they are
fed the greater their thrift and
progress.

Boiled Four of Flour Ball.
Take one quart of good flour; tie
it up in pudding bag so tightly
as to make firm, solid mass; put
it in a pot Of boiling water early
in the morning, and let it boil un-
til bedtime. Then take it out
and let it dry. In the morning
peel off from the surface and
throw away the thin rind ofdough
and, with a nutmeg crater, CRATE
down the hard mass into a pow
der. OF this from one to three
teaspoonfuls may be used by first
rubbing it into a paste with a lit
tie milk, then adding it to about a
pint of milk, and, finally, by
bringing the whole to just the
boiling point. 1t must be given
through nursing bottle. An
excellent food for children who
are costive may be made by using

She muttered low; "Wish | could
swear!'
But Maudie's mood was far from
sweet,
Because of the terrific heat
She knew that every sunbeam's chase
Brought new freckle to her face,
And while she raked the hay field
through,
Her neck burned red-her nose did, too
The Judge came riding down the road,
And stopped where Maudie's fair head
glowed
He wore n suit of snowy white,
And was, in truth, a most cool sight.
He leaped from off his old brown mare
And sought to chat with Maudie there.
He asked a drink OF water clear,
And, as he drank, sighed "Wish
twas beer"
Then chucked Miss Muller meath the
chin
And gave her quite goo goo grin,
And smirked and smiled and asked her;
"Do
You find it hot enough for you?'
Then Maudie grasped her ancient rake,
And shrieked aloud: "For goodness
sake
''It's hard enough to rake this hay,
But harder when fools come this way"
She swiped the Judge across the hat
And got him twice ere down he sat.
She biffed his ear in manner neat
Three times before he found his feet.
She chased him through the meadow
ground
Unmoved by his appeals profound.
AS he across the stubble paved
He yelped "I'm sorry Please stop,
Maud"
But there was murder in her heart,
Twas we'll for him he had start
She seized him with clutch intense
And hurled him through a barb wire
fence,
And never missed stroke or strike
Till he was headed down the pike,
And as he vanished in a cloud
OF dust her attitude was proud.
She smoothed her hair with touches
light,
And cried, as he went from her sight,
"The warmest words of tongue or pen
Are these Don't you come back
again 20
