Formerly the soil was regarded as
mineral matter, simply decayed rock
mixed with dead organic matter, says
an exchange. Now we know that the
soil Is living organism whose life
is as important as that of the animal
or the plant itself. If the soil be killed
it is absolutely sterile. In other words,
If the life Of organisms which make
soil fertile are destroyed the soil is
incapable of producing crop. Plants,
as rule, eat only mineral food, such
as phosphoric acid, potash and nitric
acid, but animals usually eat only or
ganic foods, such as fats, sugars and
protein matter

CHOICE MISCELLANY



Perhaps because an elephant sneezes
so seldom or because he sneezes so loud
oriental folk are very superstitious
about the occurrence and believe that
to hear an elephant sneeze brings good
luck. The Baltimore Herald gives an
account of the effect produced by the
sneeZe of Jumbo II. at the Maryland
industrial exhibitions:
Jumbo's sneeze Is like the bursting
of a boiler, and it created fairly good
sized panic. The elephant began to get
ready for the sneeze half an hour be-
fore it happened, and as the time for
the event drew near he was rolling
about in his cage, apparently in great
agony. Suddenly he stopped, gave one
below and then sneezed.
The look of perfect contentment on
his face after the great event was In
startling contrast to the terror seen on
the faces of the fleeing people. Visitors
to the exposition We're running in all
directions, not knowing what awful
thing 1t was from which they were
racing away.
Among the Mohammedans of the ori-
entail and Cingalese villages Jumbos
sneeze caused wild excitement. They
rushed to the cage and, bowling before
his elephantine highness, began pray
ing at rapid rate. When they fin
ished, they explained that an ele-
plants sneeZes are of the rarest occur
renee, and the event was one of great
significance to them. Elephants are
susceptible to cold and catch cold cas-
fly, but 1t is very, very rarely that they
sneeze.
Hymns Allowed In the Treasury.
A day or two after Secretary Shaw
disciplined several clerks of the treas
ury department for playing poker and
indulging in other practices not con-
sistent with his views of the proper
conduct of public officials he entered
his office at an unusually early hour,
even for him. Richard Page. of Afri-
can descent and of great dignity ac-
quired through his long connection
with the department as a messenger,
was singing an old fashioned church
hymn, not thinking of course that
the secretary was within the sound
of his voice. When the messenger
turned and discovered that the secre-
tary had heard him singing, he was
sore afraid and begged that his viola
tion of the rules of the department,
which prohibit the making of unusual
noises, should not result in his imme-
date discharge. Never mind, Rich
ard never mind" consolingly said the
secretary. II see nothing in the rules
of this department which prohibits the
singing of church hymns. If more of
that kind of music were rendered here,
we would all get along better. You
can sing hymns, Richard, in this build
ing as much as you want to, but re-
member, Richard, that l want you to
sing only hymns when you sing at
