Eject of Frequent and Liberal Doses
on Cabbage.
The New Jersey agriculture station
has made some interesting field ex-
periments with nitrate of soda on
cabbage, celery, tomatoes, sweet corn
and other crops. In the case OF
cabbage the land was productive and
fortified with 4j0 pounds of com
plete fertilizer. The following direc-
tions as to tie use of nitrate of soda
were adhered to:
The first application of nitrate of So
da is to be made in the case of those
crops which grow from the seed when
the plants have made good start. In
the case of crops growing from trans
planted plants the first application of
nitrate is to be made when the plants

Wnste of Corn Fodder.

In Missouri it is safe to estimate that
something like 100000 tons of corn
fodder are grown In the average year.
Certainly 3,500,000 tons, or one-half of
all that is produced, is wasted. The
average hay crop of the state is scarce
ly more than 100000 tons and is esti-
mated to be worth on the farm over
$20,000,000. Yet large proportion of
this hay is timothy, a material that
supplies the same class of nutrients
for our stock that Is found in corn
fodder.-H. ]. Waters, Missouri.

Peculiarities OF Nationality Ex.
pressed I'm the Various Gestures
Commonly Used.

Certain gestures are absolutely iden-
titled with certain feelings. To shake
ones fist is to threaten; to hold up
ones finger is to warn. To indicate
thought we place the tips Of the fin
gers on the forehead; to show con-
centrated attention we apply the whole
hand. TO rub the hands is everywhere
a sign of joy and to clap them assign
of enthusiasm. 1t would be. easy to
multiply examples. Affirmation, mega
ton, repulsion,, are, all indicated by
motions that everyone understands.
It is the same, in quite as great a de-
gree, with nationalities, in spite Of the
original diversity Of the races that
make them up. The mimetic character
results at once from race, from his
tory and from climate, says London
Answers. n! IA, I3T sfs3 I'll Ass43,ls
The gesture Of the Englishmane is
fierce and, harsh. He speaks briefly,
brusquely; he is cold, positive, force
full. His salutation is cold and accen-
tuated, but his handshake is loyal.
The gesture Of Germany is heavy, good.
humored, and always ungrace2ul.
Many of5thes slav people are unwilling
to look one in the face, and they have
a false gesture. The Spaniard and the
Portuguese, although dwelling in
southern land, gesticulate little; their
language is rhythmic, slow, solemn;
they are grave, their salutation is .
little theatrical. The Italian is lively,
mobile, intelligent, gays his Language
is harmonious, sonorous, warm and
luminous, like his country's sky. The
salutation of the Italian is quick and
full of feeling, his gesture colored and

Learn IL IriSeneFs Were
Guilty OF Not. 81

One of the most deadly trees inthe
world is to be found in Madagascar,
where it is known as the tangen tree.
It's scientific name is tanguinia venenif
era, the latter word signify poison
Gus. BY the natives it is regarded with
a sort Of horror, and for excellent'rea-
sons. For centuries it was the custom
to use the fruit Of the tangen for the
purpose Of ascertainingw whether crimi-
nails charged with grave offenses were
guilty or not, says the Toledo Blade.
/ In each case the prisoner was
brought into court. ard the judge there
upon solemnly handed him fruit from
tangen tree and told him that IL he
ate it and it did him no harm he would
be considered innocent, but thatsif it
killed him he would be considered
guilty. AS there is q great deal of
poison in the fruit, it can readily be
seen that very few, If indeed any, were
able~to pass through this ordeal un-
scathed.
It is said that some criminals who
had great political influence or consid-
cradle wealth managed to escape
through the connivance of the judges:
but, on the other hand, the criminal
records tell of many cases in which
prisoners died horrible death very
soon after they had eaten the noxious
fruit. ~
More civilized methods Of adjudica-
ton now prevail in Madagascar, but.
though this barbarous custom is obeo-
iete, the tangen tree is regarded witt
almost as much aversion as it everwas.
A proof Of this may be found II the
fact that q French naturalist recently
tried to obtain some branches and
fruit of the trees, but, though he asked
several natives to aid him in the search,
he was unable to obtain the slightest
assistance from any Of them.

Now comes specialist who declares
he can tell about people simply by.
studying their wrinkles, which after
all may not be an unreasonable theory.
For instance, reports the New York
World, he says life in crowded cities
stamps its mark on the plastic faces Of
the people, and the struggle for pleas
ure and for wealth marks the victim
with unmistakables signs.
With the aid of mirror one can
prove or disprove the made
by the wrinkle expert who lays down
these general laws:
"The horizontal burrows upon tho
forehead are produced by mental
anxiety, the worry and fret of life, and
they indicate tendency to nervous
anxiety and are wholly opposed to the
serenity Of unruffled brows. Short
horizontal lines just above the roof
of the nose indicate benevolence; when
found below the roof of the nose they
show one that is accustomed to exer-
else authority, especially when it takes
the, form Of forbidding.
"a single vertical wrinkle between
the eyebrows shows strict honesty in
money .Adispositiont to require
justice in others is Indicated by two
wrinkles each side. Of the first, while
wrinkles outward from these show
conscientiousness. These lines are
often marked in those who are deeply
absorbed in business, in thinkers,
writer's and inventors, while straight,
lowered brows indicate strong concen-
tration of purpose. long and hard
thinking and absorption in affairs.
"The lines raging outward from the
eyes show capacity for enjoyment. as
we'll as the two deep burrows from the
mouth to the upper lip. They are the
penalty we pay for mirth and form the
future channel of the tear. Either
perpendicular or curved wrinkles be-
low the angle of the mouth Indicate q
love of truth and hatred ofcant and ny
pocrisy. When these lines are very
marked it begets grumbling at men and
things in general. q,.r5 e53
"All who are afflicted with wrinkles
of this nature usually take serious
view Of life and do not look upon 1t as
. holiday, but as season Of work and
struggle involving much responsibility.
