VjrtreA of spinnch.

Prominent specialists claim that
spinach is the most precious of vegeta-
bles on account of its medicinal and
strengthening properties, says an ex-
change. The emollient and laxative
virtues of spinah, owing probably to
the salts of potash it contains, have
been long known. 1t is excellent for
the liver, and, as consequence, fresh
ems the complexion. Some vegeta bles
contain a relatively large dose of iron
According to Boussingault, the proper

LIVINGSTON INTRODUCING HIM.

A dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu-
ton from Macon says: A young Ger
man, attired in a well-ftting suit of
the latest fashionable designs of mems
wearing apparel, attracted considerable
attention at the Central Railway pas
senger station and on Fourth street
for two hours this morning. When the
train from Atlanta to Savannah came
in a neatly dressed stranger stepped
from the front platform of the sleeper
and approaching the uniformed gate
keeper handed him a letter, accom-
panying it with innumerable but some
what graceful gesticulations and gut
teral tones, the import of which the
lrishman could not comprehend. A
perusal of the letter made the gate
keeper wise. 1t was an epistle from
Hon. Lon Livingston, member of Con-
gress from the Atlanta district, and
it was addressed to any one who might
read it. In the letter Congressman
Lon stated that the bearer, a young
German, was touring the country for
the purpose of observation because he
could see well, but not for converse
ton, because he could not speak or
understand a word of English The
letter further asserted that Carl Wem-
Der had an abundance of money as his
guardian and guide. Wember by a
series of signs and EXPLANATIONS, in
formed the gatekeeper that it was a
drink and a cab he wanted. A we'll
known jehu was summoned, and into
his gentel care Wember was surren-
dered. An hour and a half later Wem-
Der returned to the depot flushed of
face and slightly unsteady upon his
feet and created a sensation by Civ
ing his cab driver a couple of bottles
OF Mumm and five-dollar bill. Wem-
Der evidently did not know the cab
rates of the city nor the liquid tastes
OF the driver of spawned horses. His
use of the cab covered wholly a space
OF a half-dozen blocks, but during that
time the well-dressed, lfree-spending
subject of the kaiser obtained q MAJ
nificent and unequaled bird's-eve view,

GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.

should we be surrounded by an at
1 mosphere composed entirely of oXy-
gen. the combustion within our bodies
would be too rapid, and we would
! quickly burn up. Nitrogen, on the
| contrary, is a very inert substance,
| seeming to object to being combined
| with other substances, and knowl-
edge Of this fact enables chemists to
use it for many purposes for which
other substances would not answer
1t is the active agent of gunpowder,
| dynamite and nitroglycerine, the eX-
plosive power being due to the readi-
I ness with which the nitrogen seeks to
| loosen itself from other substances.
We can easily procure nitrogen from
the air. but cannot use it except when
il is combined with something else.
In the atmosphere the oxygen and nj
trogen are not combined, but are in a
free state. That is. each atom Of
oxygen is separate from the atoms of
nitrogen, and has no connection with
them except being in their company,
but the atom of nitrogen in a particle
on ammonia is united or fastened to
the three atoms of hydrogen, but the
four atoms thus combined make one
particle of ammonia. Thus the atoms
are combined but the particle is free.
Nitrogen forms ammonia in the man
ure heap only al the moment of lib
Grafton from substances, but not when
the atoms of hydrogen and nitrogen
are brought together in the air. TO
make ii palmer 1t may be stated that
the nitrogen which is combined as 1t is
in decompOsing substances. will re-
combine to form other compounds, but
when once liberated from combination
and escapes in the uncombined condi-
ton, it is lost and mingles in a free
condition with the atmosphere.
We exist, therefore, in a substance
composing three fourths of our at
mosphere, that substance being one of
the most valuable ingredients of plant
food, yet the most eminent agricultur-
lists and chemists have been powerless
to devise any method by which we
can utilize II while in it's free condi
ton. and yet, with the high prices
paid for guano and other nitrogen
Gus materials we get but a. small pro-
portion of nitrogen. A ton of pure nj
trogen would be valued at about $3.50,
and we really pay for it in that pro-
portion, though at every breath we in
hale a large quantity of it. In the at
mosphere is about three-tenths of l
per cent of carbon, but this small
proportion produces our forests and
enters into the composition of all
plants Such being the case, the so
per cent. of nitrogen. could it be ap-
propriated from the air like carbon,
would enable us to grow the most OK
huberant crops. and in the distant flu
ture inventors may yet solve the prob
lem of combining it, when bread will
be produced with but little cost, for
the crops will be doubled and quad
rupled on every farm. There is no
estimating what is in store for the
coming farmer, for with additional dis
coveries of phosphate rock, and nitro
gen as cheap as lime, with labor-sav-
ing agricultural machinery in every
department of the farm, everything
will be plentiful, while want and star
walton will be banished from the
earth.

Although nitrogen is the most cost
ly ingredient that enters into the com
position of our fertilizers, yet it is one
of the most plentiful substances known,
says the American Farmer. 1t is usu-
ally sold in the shape of ammonia,
which is composed Of one part nitrogen
and three parts hydrogen. The nitro
gen in ammonia. however, is combined
with the hydrogen, the substances thus
united as ammonia possessing proper
ties entirely different from either IN its
free condition The air is largely COM
posed Of nitrogen, and although we are
essential element Of the air is oxygen,
yet only one-fifth oxygen, while four
hiths are nitrogen. The nitrogen is
simply dilutant Of the oxygen, for

Chappell, Washington Dessau, w. A.
Gamble, Mayor Bridges Smith and City
Attorney Minter Wimberly, appeared
before the General Judiciary Commit
tee of the House Friday in the inter
est of the bill. having for its purpose
the annexation of Vineville and other
suburban territory. Mr.. Fielder sup
ported the measure. Mr.. Dessau and
City Attorney Wimberly made strong
arguments in support of the measure,
showing the advantages to be gained
by the addition of Vineville to the city
of Macon. Representative Joe Hall
then addressed the committee in oppo-
sition to the measure. When Mr.. Hall
had concluded the committee agreed
practically unanimously to report the
bill favorably. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Hall will fight the report of the
committee when it comes up for con-

FARM,

Wheat should BE Drilled and Guilt
waited.
Can the Southern farmer grow his
cwn -four Is question that most
farmers il would seem has settled in
the negative. AT any rate, there is not
one-third the wheat grown in Georgia
that there was once upon time. and
at several different times in the his
tory OF the state. Every once in a
while the question springs UP for dis
cussion. and usually as the result of
some few enterprising farmers here and
there, making real good crops of wheat
when the season happens TO be espec-
tally favorable to the crop. OF course
II is well understood by now that there
is no more uncertain crop than wheat
sown as it frequently is, on the aver
age upland as it exists in Georgia and
ether Southern states to-day, nearly
worn out BY cultivation in hoed crops
for twenty-five or perhaps fifty years.
We know that taking such land as il
comes and sowing, as is the common
practice. three or four pecks of seeds
10 the acre and on land prepared by
only one poor blowing the average
product of these lands are good deal
less than ten bushels per acre. some
times as low as eight, oftener than
not not more than six or seven bush
els. No doubt there are plenty of small
farmers all over the South who would
he ulo 20 x,rh hot
comes if they could be assured of a
crop of ten bushels per acre on their
plant of five or ten acres. Many of
them seemed TO be fairly well satisfied
with that much corn per acre.
There is plenty of land in Georgia
to-day that can be made to produce
twenty-five bushels of wheat that now
yields only ten simply by bestowing
upon the crop the same amount of Gull
tivation that is given a crop of corn.
Wheat being the more valuable crop
certainly deserves as much care and
labor as corn it would seem. but few
farmers have come to consider it In
that light
If every small farmer in Georgia
could be induced to SOW one or two
acres of wheat in drills twenty or TWEEN
ty-four inches apart. using six pecks
of seeds and applying two or three
dollars worth of a good fertilizer in
the drill and then cultivating the crop
two to four times in the spring we
would soon have an impetus to wheat
culture that would alter the statistics
considerably in a few years. The
farmer that has never tried it should
make up his mind to give it a trial
the coming season. Wheat is far more
worthy Of cultivation with pillow and

Millionaire Resident of California Ar
rested for Attempted Murder.
Los Angeles. Sept. S.-Colonel Grif-
nth, a millionaire resident Of this city
and a member of the board of park
commissioners. has been arrested on
the charge of assaulting his wife with
murderous intent. Mrs. Griffith was
shot last Thursday evening in her
room at a Santa Monica hotel, where,
with her husband inc her ~15-year-old
son, she had been spending the sum-
mer.
In her statement to the district at
torney Mrs. Griffith said that her hus-
band shot her after forcing her to an
swer at the pistol point some Irrational
questions as to f~aithfulness and knowl-
edge OF any attempt to poison him.
When he shot her she was on her
knees. She jumped up and ran to a
window, out of which she jumped, fall
Ing on q roof fourteen feet below, frac-
turing her boulder blade. Mrs. Grit
fifth wanted a charge Of insanity pre-
ferred against her husband.
Colonel Griffith insists that his wife
was wounded accidentally. He was
bending over a trunk, according to his
story, when he heard the report of the
revolver and turned to see Mrs. Griffith
fall to the floor. The weapon, he says,
was one of his own which Mrs. Grit
nth came across in gathering togethe r
their effects for packing. How it was
discharged Colonel Griffith says hi
does not know. He denied tina there
was any possible cause for a quarrel.
