No More Crisp Bank Notes.

The days of the crisp bank-note are
numbered. Instead of being crisp, the
money which the government bureau

after turn out will be soft and velvety,
Ii important experiments which are
now being conducted in the presence
OF treasury officials for the purpose Of
demonstrating the advantages of a
novel chemical treatment for paper
prove satisfactory. The result OF the
adoption of the new secret process will
be to reVolutionize a portion of the
work connected with the printing of
the paper money of the United States.
Under the new process it will take just
sixty days less time to manufacture a
oank-note than under the present
method. The chemical solution not
only renders the oaper soft and velvety
but It also makes it o n~.shrinkable.
By applying it to a Japanese napkin
that article becomes as soft and pliable
as q tissue of silk. The chemical prep
aration acts as al antideptic and pre-.
sentative. When applied to old docu-
ments it seems to knit the fiber logeth-
er and prevent further decay. Under
the present process of printing paper
money the paper has to be thoroughly
soaked IN water. While it Is in this
soaked condition one side Of the paper
is printed. The sheet is then placed
in a steam-room and kept under a high
temperature for thirty days, the time
necessary for the ink to dry. The
sheet is again soaked as in the first
instance and the reverse side OF the bill
printed. The thirty-day drying pro-
cess has then to be repeated. In cases
where a third impression on the bill is
necessary, winch Is required when the
printing is done in two colors, the
wetting and drying process has to be
repeated for a third time, and another
month is thus consumed IN its produc.
ton. Besides the delay of this process,
the wetting and drying rot the fiber
of the paper, and, although it is
"%starched" to give it the crisp appear
snce, the starch soon wears out and
the bill becomes limp and worn. In
printing bills on paper that has been
treated by the new process no wetting
is necessary. The ink loses none of it's
luster when applied to the paper, as
under the old process, and is thorough
ly dry within forty-eIght hours alter

of opinion in some of the best agri.
cultural sections of the State 1 re-
gard 20 the value OF lime. Generally
the results from lining are better on
the limestone clay soils than on the
sandy soils, though in Pike county 1T
is reported that lime has a better eff
feet on their sandy soils than on the
clay. From a review of this report 1t
would seem that wherever there are
acid conditions from iron and other
minerals, lime usually has better et-
feet. In Adams and some other coun-
ties where lining is general, it is the
practice to lime q sod and turn 1t
Shallowly in the fall. Sometimes the
application is made to fan grain for
the benefit of the clover to be soWn
on them. N some counties lime is
applied before sowing buckWheat.
There is a distinct tendency, as in 9TH
or parts of the country, to use lighter
applications than formerly and to re-
peat more frequently. Eleven coun-
ties reported the use of 25 bushels or
less per acre. In IA counties never
more than 80 bushels per acre are
used. In 10 counties lime is used at
rate of 100 or more bushels per acre,
and in counties over 200 bushels per
acre are used. 1t is worth noting
that in the counties where there is u
more general use of lime the Quantities
applied are smaller than in counties
where but a small percentage of the
farmers use it. shaking in large heaps
with water results in q better article
with less of the insoluble carbonate
than the air shaking. 1t is evident
that from the small percentages of
lime removed by plants. that ITS use as
plant food direct is very limited, and
-.
it's sWeeteniug and ameliorating in
huence on the soil and the bringing
into availability of potash that exists
in an insoluble form in the soil. Ger
tain plants are noted as calcifuge
plants or lime avoiding plants. Chest
nut trees avoid a lime soil. and it is
we'll known that the troublesome
sheep sorrel will not thrive in the
presence of lime. 1t is curious, then,
to note that the chestnut, which avoids
lime, has more lime in the ashes of
its wood than the oak which is fond
of a limestone clay. Limestone soils,
or soils covering limestone rocks are
often poorer in lime than Their soils,
and hence the value of lining on such
soils Red clover will thrive where
there is less and will thrive better if
there is more. 1t is well to note that
with every pound of Dhosphoric acid
applied N acid phosphate one and a
quarter pounds of lime are assured
with it. Thus in applying 200 pounds
of dissolved South Carolina rock phoS-
phate fully 40 pounds of lime are
added to the soil, an amount several
times greater than that removed by
crops sold off the acre in season.
We have often urged on farmers who
are enthusiastic in regard to the use
of lime, that while lime can be made a
valuable adjunct to good farming in
a well arranged rotation, the idea that
lime will take the place of manure or
fertilizers is erroneous. and the man
who SuppoScS that by constant lining
he can make poor land rich will end
in finding that he has made it poorer.

THE SUNDAY NIGHT BEAU.
dorothy Dix, in New Orleans Plea
yune.)

A Brooklyn judge has just decided
that a Sunday couftship is not valid,
and that proposal made OH the Sab
bath day is not a binding contract.
This is a solar pleXus blow at love-
making that knocks Cupid out of the
wedding rings, for the Sunday night
beau has ever put the prop and stay
of the marriage institution, and with
him eliminated the majority OF girls
can see the Spinster's retreat looming
up dark and forbidding on their hori-
IONS.
Naturally, the calamity of this de-
cision will fall heavily upon maidens
in the rural districts, where Sunday
is the one day set apart by custom and
convenience for sparkling, but its
baneful effects will be felt through all
the ramifications of society, from
Newport to Bird Centre, for it is on
the holy Sabbath day that the heart
of the Millionaire no less than the
pumpkin turns to thoughts of matri-
mony
No statistics are Obtainable apon
the subject but if married men would
only own up, we should find that it
was on Sunday that it first occurred
to them that they were lone, lorn
bachelors, and that they had it on
Biblical authority that it is not good
for man to be alone. AT any rate,
women will bear cheerful and vera
cious testimony that nine-tenths of
all the proposals are made on Sun
day. Nor is this hard to explain.
Man has never been able to distin-
guish between religion and love. The
workings of grace in him he has al
ways mistaken for the fluttering OF
his heart When he is piOuS ne wants
to propose, and when he is uplifted by
the Sabbath calm and peace he feels
that he can love his neighbor as him
seH-especially if she is young and
pretty-and he forthwith asks her to
marry him.
Moreover, there is in Sunday even
ings a certain homesick quality that
every man has felt, but which makes
club cooking suddenly turn TO dust
and in his mouth. and mems society,
no matter how brilliant, pail upon
him, and that sends him forth in
search of some nice, quiet, SYM
pathetic girl to whom he can explain
his beautiful emotions, and who, in
the process of time, he finds himself
escorting to the altar.
Women are perfectly aware of this.
They know that Sunday is the psyco-
logical moment when a man will pro-
pose if he is going to propose at all,
and so when a man who has been cas-
ually ealing upon q girl any old wcc%
night moves up and begins to make
Sunday night dates, she realizes that
it is time for her to decide Whether
she will be a sister to him or De mar
ried in church or at home under q
floral horseshoe.
OF course men call upon other
nights than Sunday, and girls joy
fully receive their visits, for just as
one swallow does not make a sprlng,
so one swalloW-tai lowering in her
vicinity doesn't make girl the belle
she desires to be. She doesn't enjoy
the less, the attentions from men VINO
are without intentions, but she knows
them for what they are. They may
or may not, mean business, but the
Sunday night beau is sure thing.
Fortunately, men are not cognlzant

BLONDES AND SANITY.
From the Indianapolis Star


A woman who bleaches her hair does
so for one sole and single purpose.
namely, that of making herself more
attractive to the world in general and
commonly to one man in particular.
Dare any man rise and declare that
this is sign of mental weakness? Is
1t not urged upon woman as her high
est duty and privilege to make herself
presentable in the eyes of man? From
very infancy is she not taught that
she should cultivate good looks? Does
she not gather from the newspapers
from the time she begins to read them
in her early years that the woman
who distinguishes herself in any way,
whether as a bride, a suicide or the
murderer of her grandmother, is in
variably beautiful and that no plain
woman need expect to get herself
placed under big headlines next to
pure reading matter? Then why should
any man have the audacity to ques-
ton her mental soundness when, in
obedience to time-honored masculine
dictates, she does her best to make
herself pleasing in the masculine sight :?
1t may be said. of course, and truly,
that her taste is bad and her method
of identification to be deplored, but
this does not prove the point made by
her critics, for, judging by the number
of admirers that the most pronounced
peroxide lady usually has in her train,
she has no monopoly of bad taste and,
in fact, proves shrewdness rather than
lunacy when she applies the fluid that
turns her dark locks to gold.

COTTON MILLS suFFER.

The impression prevails to some ex-
tent that the slump in the price of
cotton from 101a cents to w cents
hasn't been followed by a decline in
the prices of manufactured goods. 1t
is erroneous. 1t is said that the cot
ton section of the textile industry has
received a pretty severe blow by the
decline in the price of cotton. The
cotton mills and the cotton commission
houses had based their prices on high
priced cotton. Therefore when the
swift decline in the price of cotton
came their business was practically
raralyzed. Cotton goods cannot be
sold for the prices at which they were
held when cotton was 10 cents. Hence.
there has been cut all along the
line.
This is a pretty heavy blow to mills
which have a large stock of 10 cent
cotton on hand, because it is certain
that they will have to sell their product
on a basis of ~ cents for the raw
material.
The mills did not make any money
last season when the tendency OF the
price of cotton was upward, and 1t
looks now as if they weren't going to
make much this season, since they can
not sell their products. made of 10
cent cotton, at prices that will yield
much If any. profit.
1t would be. much better for the cot =
ton mills If there were no fluctuations
in the price of cotton. There would
be no specializing in cotton manufac-
turing industry then, and a legitimate
profit would be demanded and re-
ceived.
Doubtless the cotton goods trade will
soon adjust itself to the new condi-
tons, but what the mills have lost
will hardly be egained-certainly not
in the next few months.
