pastor of the First NJ. L. church here
and will preach his fare~ell sermon

earned the sincere respect and cordial
good will of the people, irrespective OF

pairs and in few months time both
buildings were made much more at
tractive and comfortable than they
were when new. He is man OF really
exceptional energy and zeal and untail-

The application probably, should be
made before the seeding is done. II
one sows timothy with wheat in the
fall, or clover in wheat in the spring,
the lime should be applied while fitting
the land for, wheat. l think that II
should be kept. near the surface, and
yet it should be covered by earth. For
these reasons the grain drill Is a good
distributor. The application can be
made at any time during the process Of
fitting the ground for wheat, but pre-
ferably after the soil has been made
fine and firm.
"Some grain drills with fertilizer at
tachments have too limited capacity
for applying even ground lime, though
one can get the proper amount on the
land by going over it two or three
times. Other styles of drills are able
to apply 1000 or 1900 pounds.
They are the ones to use, saving both
trouble and expense. The sooner the
lime is safely in the ground, the less
danger of any slaking, and bursting of
the bags.

Various Forms of Lime

"Some manufacturers are selling a
grapalar lime at g high prlce, claiming
peculiar merit for it. There is every
probability that it is less valuable than
the ground lime, because it has been
slaked, and the process of slaking adds
weight, and not value. Some of the
claims are ridiculous. The need of the
soil is for lime, and that is most effec-
tive, ton for ton, when fresh burned :
stone lime ground fine, to make even
distribution possible.
"It is unwise to depend upon lime as
a fertilizer 1t will help the growth of
crops on some land, but it's use tends to
soil exhaustion except when made to
secure good sod. 1t is wise to apply
the usual commercial fertilizer with
the wheat, depending upon the lime
only as a means of getting clover where
1t now fails. In some soils the lime
will not do even this, but trial of it
is advisable. In the last few years
there has been so great success in get
ting clover OH acid soils by these light
applications that some manufacturers
cannot fill their orders for lime in the
fall.n ~

20 years Of his life In Australia, most
Of this time In Adelaide, where, after
some years Of work In a large shoe

about him Is his own belief in him
self He truly believes that he is
reincarnation of Elijah and that pow

far from dignified, but If you were to

at once with it's strength and certain
nobility Of expression that compels you
to feel well disposed toward him.

At q popular holiday resort during
tho season n coach used to run daily
between the town and some ruins a
few miles out, stopping ut an inn for
dinner. The landlord OF the inn made
pretty sum-which he shared with
the coachman-by doing the passeng-

was provided, but the passengers were
hardly allowed to be seated before the
signal was given to start. One day,
after the coach had departed, the land
lord discovered traveller still enjoy

as he saw the eatables disappearing
under his very eyes, but far more SO

spoons and forks were missing, On

FOR USE IN THE SICK ROOM.

One Of the great trials in caring for
sick person who is so utterly help
less that he cannot change the position
of the body is the changing Of the bed
linen, when help Is necessary in lifting
the sufferer while the clothing Is re-
moved from the bed and replaced with
fresh sheets. The duty Is so tedious
and SO often accompanied by increased
suffering ON the part Of the patient
that 1t is apt to be postponed as long
as possible, and only undertaken when
1t can be no longer put off. In the
hospitals, where everything is provid-
ed to tighten the burden Of caring for
the sick, and where plenty of aid can
be had from persons trained in the
work, this duty is not so much to be
dreaded, and yet even there, as in the
private house, the apparatus recently
designed by a German inventor, and
shown in the illustration, would great
ly tighten the labor as we'll as add to
the patients comfort. This device is
nothing less than n windlass, designed
to raise the body from the bed and
hold 1t in suspension until the change
has been completed. It consists Of an
arched steel frame stretching from the
head to the foot of the bed. and sup
porting between Its parallel members
three rollers and winding drum. The

MillonaireS are prone to sing the
praises OF poverty. Having secured
themselves against want by Accumulate
ing comfortable supply Of bonds or
preferred stock, they feel impelled by
a sense OF humane obligation to warn
young men against the dangers Of
wealth. At the dinner of the st. An
drew's Society at Delmonico's, New
York, Andrew Carnegie pictured the
blessings Of poverty with the master
hand of n man who had himself felt
the pinch of perjury and knew what 1t
was. He said: 1.-The child of the mill
ionaire cannot know what the words
father and mother mean. Few Scotch
men have been cursed by being born
to wealth. They've been born to pow
erty." All of which Is gracious and
timely. The dangers and disadvantages
of wealth are conceded. But how Is
boy to avoid being born to wealth."
How Is he to avert the handicap of
rich father? How can he secure to
himself the blessings and aspirations
Of poverty? The steel magnate inspires
us with a yearning for poverty, but
does not tell us how to attain 1t. How
are we to escape the destructive, cor
roding influences Of wealth? Even Mr..
Carnegie has been unable to give away
libraries fast enough to bring the
blessed boon Of poverty. Efforts OF rich
men to persuade their sons that they are
not rich and that they-the sons-will
have to work for living" have sig
nally failed, except in rare instances,
where the SON was not gifted with a
sufficiently imaginative temperament
to realize his opportunities. Nearly
every millionaire claims that poverty
is necessary to the development Of n
man. We must feel the stimulus Of
desire the pinch of want. But how is
the precious jewel of poverty to be at
tanned? Here is where the millionaires
leave US groping In the dark.
