Many well equipped expeditions will leave this country and Europe to view
 the big astronomical event of the year 1905 from the most advantageous points. This event will be total eclipse of the sun. which will occur August 30. William H. Crocker of California has offered to defray the cost of sending expeditions from the
 Lick observatory, California, to Lab rador. Spain and Egypt. The naval observatory of Washington will prob- ably send three expeditions. one of which may be located near Burgos, Spain. Photographs of the corona by means of camera of five inches aper, ture and forty feet focus will be made by the CrOcker parties. Miss Mary Proctor. the famous woman astrono. mer, writes as follows: "An expedi. tlon composed largely of amateurs will go to Burgos, Spain. which is probably one of the most desirable stations along the route of anticipated darkness. A program is being arranged for covering the minor details of an eclipse, such as observations of the diminishing sun. light; the peculiar shadows cast by the foliage on the ground -wIen. the sun is nearly eclipsed; the strange wavcring lines or shadow bands as they are called. which make their an. pearance n few moments before total. ity; the swift On-rush of shadow. and tnaliy the glorious bul inies:. !taDle coroIS. Thus wh.le the astro.o...sr !, sLsorced in special lot:.iis wa;ch re. quire his whole and undivided attcn. ton. the amateur enjoys the opportuni. fly of watching the unfolding glorics Of the corona from the standpoint of n
 poet or artist. Words fail to convoy the iinpressiveness of the scene. From rcmotest times it has been described with enthusiasm as being one of tho most beautiful of natural phenomena. !"

Every mother possesses information which is of vital interest to her young daughter.
 Too often this Is never imparted or Is withheld until serious harm has result ed to the growing girl through her ignorance of natures mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties.
 Girls over-sensitiveness and modestv often puzzle their mothers and baffie physicians. as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period.
 When a girls thoughts become slug gish. with headache. dizziness or dis position to sleep. pains in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; when she is q mystery to herself and friends, her mother should come to her aid, and remember that Lydia F. Pink hams Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start the menstrual period in young girls life without pain or irregularities.
 Hundreds of letters from young girls and from mothers, expressing their gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished for them, have been received by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,, at Lynn, Mass.

FRUIT TREE NOURlSHMeNT.
What ls Taken Out of the Ground in Growing and Maturing
 the Fruit.

The Cornell experiment station bull letin No. l03 on Soil Depletion in Re- speet Go the Care of Fruit Trees" shows that the plant food contained in 20 crops of apples of 15 bushels per tree. ana 35 trees per acre. when the leaves that are formed are also taken into the calculation. amounts to 1.337 pounds of nitrogen. BIO pounds of phosphoric acid and l,ss5 pounds of potash. Prof. Voor- hees shows that 20 years continuous cropping with wheat. assuming an aver age crop of l5 bushels per acre, and seven pounds of straw to three bushels of wheat. would remove 66O pounds of nitrogen. 21l pounds of phosphoric acid and S24 pounds of potash. We can thus compare the results of 20 years cropping oi apples. after the production of trees capable of bearing such crops, has taken large amounts of plant food from the soil' for the 20 years cropping of apples mas removed more than twice as much nitrogen. half as much again of phos- phorlc acid. and three times as much potash as the wheat crops during the same period. It is evident. then. that an orchard will far more rapidly deplete the fertility of the soil than the con- unuous cropping in wheat Any farmer will understand that 20 years continu- ous cropping in wheat would be bad farming and would result in soil deple- ton. How much more then does the continuous cropping in apples deplets the soil Burn the hardwood of an apple tree and you will fully understand the amount of potash removed from the Soil in the wnnd oloro

 Twenty-Five years ago. says religious worker, the ruling idea of the church was that children should be seen and not heard. The result was that few were seen and none heard. The growth of young peoples societies in the churches in the last quarter-century means that the truth is realized that the young are the most efficient builders of the King dom of Heaven on earth
 Dr. Adolf Fritzen, bishop of Stras- burg. has again issued an edict forbid ding priests within his diocese to use bicycles. He is sharply criticised there for by the newspapers. which call at tention to the fact that bicycling ceased long ago to be mere secular sport. and that priests often find the wheel most useful, especially those who have to visit members of their congregation in remote country places

Mulch in Spring.

A mulch in the spring is useful for several reasons. It keeps the ground from drying out and baking in the sur face. which results in harm to the young and tender root system. A more equable temperature is secured. This is a point which does not receive as much attention as it should. A warm sun will raise the temperature of the bare ground several degrees during the day, only 10 be cooled off at night Such changes are not good for tender plants. A straw mulch will also keep down weeds.
