Impoverished Soil

impoverished soil, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimi-
lated as

peace of the city is seriously disturbed.
Matters reached a critical stage when
the mayor of the city and the sheriff

antagonistic proclamations swearing
to uphold the law and protect the clti-

deputies appointed by him to uphold
the law, and Mayor Weaver replied In

For the moment the question Of ma

The mayor quotes the law against

BloNDl APPEALS TO ROOT.
sculptor of "The saturnaIla" Makes
Unique Proposal.

Unique Proposal.
ROME, Nov. 7-Ernesto Biondi The
sculptor, in connection with his law
suit against the trustees of the Metro
politan Museum Of Art Ia New York
for refusing to exhibit his group, 'rhe
Saturnalia" has addressed a letter TO
Hlihu Root, the American secretary OF
state who acted as counsel for the
trustees. in which he says he wishes to
invoke from Secretary Root an act Of
justice.
He expresses the hope that Secretary
Root will win a great victory over
self" by reconsidering, as secretary Of
state, the Judgment, which Biondi calls
mistaken and cruel, and he proposes
that Secretary Root, being no longer
the counsel of his adversaries and
therefore no longer bound by profess
sional ties, but being invested with a
higher and nobler mission, that of
safeguarding the public interest, should
act as sole arbiter between himself
and the museum, as now through his
exalted position Mr.. Root may regard
things from different point of view.
Elondi will accept his verdict, he says.

ANCIENT SEA WALLS.
Punishment That Was Inflicted For
NeSlecting Their Repair.

w. H. Wheeler in his History of the
Fens of South Lincolnshire quotes
Harrison as saying in his preface to
Holinshed's "Chronicle,' that "such
as, having walls or banks near unto
the sea, do suffer the same to decay,
after convenient admonition, whereby
the water entereth and drowneth UP
the country, are by certain ancient
custom apprehended, condemned and
staked in the breach where they re-
main forever a parcel of the new wall
that is to be made upon them, as
have heard reported."-P. 40.
Harrison, so far as l am at present
able to make out, is the earliest au-
thority for this, and he only speaks of
it as report.
In paper by the Rev. Il. G. j. Spur
rell in 1.-The Archaeologia Cantiana" re-
lating to hartford, find the following,
which, though it is by no means proof
of what Harrison had heard, tends to
make the statement less improbable
than it otherwise would be:
"In early times the Roman way
tide. Afterward, the tide having adj
vanced further inland, the road was
raised, becoming causeway. In me-
diaeval times this bank was heighten-
ed against the tide, the road running
inside, as at present During a section
made few years ago through this
road, near Stidolph's house, l saw u
human skeleton extended across the
bank about two feet below the pres
ent surface This is, of course, a
strange situation but, looking to the
fact that it was tide wall. it is pos
sible that the once owner of the skele-
ton had the duty Of repairing the bank
and having let the tide through by his
neglect, was placed in the breach thus
| helping to repair it while suffering
punishment S. Smiles has mentioned
that such a mode of dealing was a me-
diaeval custom. However, l know not
how far the ancient graveyard extend
ed hereabout, so that the body, which
showed no signs of burial, might yet
have been buried in sacred ground."-

COlODhOrl.

Colophon was city Of ancient Ionia,
nine miles north of Ephesus, and near
the sea. 1t was said to be the birth
place of Homer, and near it was a ia
nous oracle Of Apollo. The Greek prov
erb, ITO put colophon to it," mean
ing to end an affair handsomely, is ex-
planned by Strabo as arising from a
belief that the cavalry of Colophon was
so excellent in quality that their charge
was always decisive in battle. Hence
arose the custom of calling any device
or monogram or printers name or sign
or date of printing in old printed books
a colophon in the sense of a definite,
satisfactory end.

Tycho Brahe.

1t was the great eclipse of Aug 21,
1860, that turned Tycho Brahe into an
astronomer. He was in his fourteenth
year at the time, a Danish boy Of no.
BILE origin, and had been destined first
for the army and then for the law
But the accuracy with which the
eclipse was predicted impressed him
with the belief that astronomy was a
divine thing, and thenceforward he de
voted his life to it. The debt Of as.
tronomy to Tycho Brahe not only fol
his own work, but as the man who
shaped the genius of Kepler, can
scarcely be overestimated

Catharine Parr.

Catharine Parr, the sixth wife Of the
much married Henry Will, owed more
to her intellectual than to her personal
charms. She was not good looking,
but had pleasant face and world
Of tact. So skillfully did she manage
her troublesome husband as actually
to turn him against some Of the most
trusted of his own officials. Once an
order was made out for her arrest On
charge Of heresy, but she got news of
the matter and SO cleverly fattered
and soothed Henry as to effect a COM
plete reconciliation, and when the Off
GERS came to serve the order he drove
them out with curses and threats.
