FertiIizinq Salt.

The Vermont Experiment Station
at Burlington weighed ten clusters
of grass from two plots of landlying
side by side. From the unsalted
plot the ten plants weighed IA
grams, while from the plot which
had received 5000 pounds of salt
per acre, they weighed 26 grams or
nearly twice as much.
Speaking of it's effectiveness in kill
ing Hawk Weed, or Paint Brush, the
experiment station bulletin says,
Most of the weed was killed by
the application of 1000 pounds per
acre. Every plant of it was killed
by the application of 5000 pounds
per acre and the weight of the grass
was nearly doubled"
We can furnish the Fertilizing Salt
at $500 per ton, in carload lots,
(no charge for sacks), F. 0. B. cars
at Hyde P ark and can secure low

The Punching Bag for Girls.

BY use of this apparatus every
muscle in the body is brought into
play, and the stout girl grows thin
and the thin girl plump. By the daily
use of one of these bags lightness OF
foot, a graceful poise and springy
step develop even to greater degree
than by means OF dancing lessons.
The waist and the abdomen are re-
ducad in sizA, and the weak muscles OF
the trunk are so strengthened by its
use that the amateur athlete holds
herself straight with ease and COM
fort. The bag should hang at about
the height Of the shoulders.-Ladies

HOW TO BRING SLEEP.
A Novel Scheme for WOOing Natures
Sweet RestOTer.

To get a good nights sleep, says
college president, assume an easy po-
sition, with the hands resting over
the abdomen. Take long, slow but
easy and natural breath in such a
way as gradually and gently to lift
the hands outward by the action of
the abdomen. At the same time SLOW
ly and gradually open the eyes so
that at the end of the inspiration
they are wide open and directed up
ward. Let the breath out easily and
naturally, letting the hands fall in
ward as the outward pressure of the
abdomen is withdrawn. At the same
time let the eyes drop and the eyelids
naturally fall of their own weight, SO
that they are closed at the end of the
expiration. Do all this quietly and
naturally. Do not make too hard
work of 1T.
Repeat the inspiration and ex bra
ton, with opening and lifting, drop
ping and closing OF the eyes, ten times.
Then take ten breaths in the same
way, allowing the eyes to remain
closed. Alternate ten breaths with
opening and closing of the eyes and
breaths with closed ty5s. When the
ey 9lids begin to feel heavy and yDu
feel tired and sleepy, as you will very
soon, go through the. motions more
and more easily and laz ly until you
merely will the motions without max
ing any fl )rt, or hardly any effort,
to execute them. At this stage, or
more likely in one of the intervals of
breathing without any motion of the
eyes, you will fall asleep.
Nervous persons will have some diff
| ticulty at first in the gradual opening
and closing of the eyes. They will
tend to fly open and then snap to-
gether. But as putting salt on a
doves tail is sure rule for catching
the dove, SO this gradual and easy
opening and closing of the eyes in
ythm, with quiet, natural breath
ing, when once secured, is almost
equivalent to dropping off to sleep.
This rule induces the respiration that
is characteristic Of normal sleep. 1t
| tires the set of muscles, the firing of
which is one of the tavorite devices for
producing hypnosis. Itproduces and
calls attention to certain sensations
in the eyes and ey lids which are the
normal precursors of sleep. Finally,
persons who have had difficulty in
going to sleep and staying asleep, re-
port that this method puts them to
sleep, and puts them back apain when
they wake up too oon.-OutlOOk.

The average pay of male teachers
in the public schools of Vermont is
$3.50 per month and of female
teachers $2716 per month, or an
average for both Of about a dollar
a day. This upsets the popular
theory that the teacher is rapidly
acquiring all the wealth of the state.
A business concern that didn't pay
its employees higher W age scale than
this, would soon be confronted by a
walking delegate of the labor union
with a forcible request for good,
big raise or the alternative of strike.
When it is considered that the aver
