What Is the Action of the HEATH
While out in Boulder county the 9TH
er day we saw some men burning a
stubble field, presumably because the
owner had no sheep or swine to run on
1t. Who has not noticed that where a
stack of straw has been burned the
spot was exceedingly productive for
years? Indeed, has any one watched
such a spot long enough to know that
the extra fertility has passed awayi
1t is well known that wood ashes are
exceedingly valuable as fertilizer,
but Is it not possible that the heat,
which is intense enough to fuse the
silica Of the straw into glass, may have
wrought chemical changes in the soil
so that plant food has DEVELOPED more
rapidly than by the slower. ordinary
processes of nature? In times past we
have seen better crop of grain from
field that was burned over and not
plowed than on adjoining parts of the
same field previously pIowed. The
ground where the stubbIes were burn
ed was virtually as mellow as an ash
heap.-Denver Field and Farm.

Francis NJ. COckreII.
The recent senatorial contest in Mis-.

Major William Warner as the success
sor of Francis Marion Cockrell in the
senate chamber at Washington, was
watched with much interest throug;
out the country. For the first time in
the history Of the state the Republic
ans possessed majority in the legisla-
ture, but owing to the aspirations of
rival candidates a deadlock was ere
ated, which continued until the eve of
adjournment. Then amid exciting
scenes Major Warner was chosen for
the coveted seat He has long been

Cnres For NEitchcry.

Rev, Joseph Doderidge in his "Notes
of the Settlement and Indian Wars In
Pennsylvania and Virginia." in that
portion of the work treating of witch
craft says: The diseases of children
supposed to be inflicted by witchcraft
were those of dropsy of the brain and
the ricketts,. These were diseases which
could neither be accounted for nor
cured, consequently they were ascribed
to some supernatural agency. For the
cure of diseases inflicted by witches
the picture of the supposed witch was
drawn on n stump or piece of board
and shot at with a bullet containing
a little bit Of silver This silver bullet
transferred painful and sometimes
mortal spell on that part of the witch
corresponding with the part of the pic
ture struck by the bullet"

The blade of a digging hoe was sup
ported horizontally on two bricks and
fire kindled on The ground beneath 1t.
On the middle of the hoe was put Il
small heap of the seeds of red fruited
variety of eggplant. and over this was
inverted the half of a cocoanut shell
having a hole in the top. A piece OF
bamboo was stuck on to the shell over
the hole by a lump of clay. AS vapor
issued from the bamboo tube the pa.
tient inhaled this by placing his lips

NUMBER OF TRAINS
SHOWS PROGRESS
SIxty-Seven Trains Daily at the
Union Passenger Station
INCREASE OF 400 PER CENT
Station Opened In 1887 With only
Fifteen Trains a Day-The
Class of Trains Has
Improved.
INCREASE OF 400 PER CENT

The increasing Importance of Birmins-
ham as railroad center cannot be better
!ustratcd than by comparing me nalnpsr
..sse~ -srs trains which arrive daily
at the union station with tho number
..r..,o,. e.slly u few months ago.
Within about six months time a dozen
additional trains arriving and departing
daily have been added TO 'b7 ~ -
or out Of Birmingham, and there Is rea-
son to believe that within few months
more than half a dozen new trains wiil
be inaugurated.
At present sIxty-seven trains arrive Al
or depart from the station every twenty
four hours the through trains being
counted only once. either as arriving or
departing.
The Southern railway leads with ten
trains arriving and ten departing every
day, the Louisville and Nashville Is next
with six arriving and six departing and
the Birmingham Mineral is third with
five trains each way daily. The Queen
and Crescent has six trains arriving and
three departing, all of its through trains
being counted on the ARRIVING column"
The Frisco has eight trains daily, half
of which arrive and the other half depart.
The Central of Georgia mas two trains
each way daily. The Seaboard has four
trains daily, two each way.
Change in Twenty Years.
Just little less than twenty years ago
the statiouFwas opened with only fifteen
trains a day. Since that time the number
has been multiplied more than four times,
and the character of the trains has in
creased in the same proportion. Trains
that twenty years ago consisted OF
couple of day coaches and combination
baggage and mail car. now consist or
three or four Pullman sleepers, an ele-
CANT dining car, and vestibule day
coaches baggage cars and mail cars.
Some of these trains carry eleven and
twelve cars and have a running scheduls
of more than forty miles an hour.
During the past few months the Sea-
board has come into the city and inaugu-
rated its passenger service. In about sixty
or ninety days this service will be aug
mented by one or two additional trains
each way daily.
The Southern has increased Its service
by two new trains in the past month, and
at the same time 1t greatly increased the
efficiency Of its service to Atlanta.
The Birmingham Mineral has added a
new train within the past sixty days, and
1t has not been very long since the Frisco
inaugurated The Age-Herald Messenger
Boy" local train to Winfield. This
train will probably be extended to Amory
about the first of September.
Since the station was opened on April
l. 1887, Station Master Meglemry has is
sued 245 time cards The last one was is
sued a week ago During the past year
he has had to issue ten or twelve new
cards on account of the numerous changes
in schedules and additionally trains.

BIRMINGHAM STEADILY
BECOMING BEAUTIFUL

establishments that are to be built here
after should be soc INSTRUCTED that their
front entrance be enthusiastically attrac-
tive. To do this will, of course, require
a nexpenditure of more money, but the
an expenditure of more money, but the
a wise one. To Illustrate this one needs
only to look at the office building of the
Birmingham Realty company. or the at
traetive home of the Birmingham Trust
and Savings company. These two build
ings when once seen, are wildly remem-
bered by reason of their beauty. The city
hall is not unlovely, nor are the Wood
ward and the First National bank build
ings.
IN connection with the last named two
buildings it occurs to me that the two
story structures in the heart of the bus
mess section of the city, will speedily be
displaced. Those now erected will be SUI
perceded by more imposing buildings and
those to be built hereafter in the bus
mess section will run four or more stories.
1.-The second suggestion l would make
has to do with the residence section. I
am a strong advocate of having the
houses set back far from the street. The
deeper the front the more attractive the
residence, provided it is sufficiently I'm
posing. Stone lends itself to beauty more
effectively than brick and stone resi-
dences can be built at only a little greater
expense than brick ones
THE parks and streets have much to
do with a towns physical attractiveness.
l hope the street railway company will
see the wisdom of Identifying all circles
through which it passes, and | believe
the city, as soon as it gets the money,
will make the parks more attractive tnan
they now are. To do the work that needs
to be done here In Birmingham we re-
quire the systematic cooperation of the
municipal authorities, private corpora
lions and Individual citizens"
this state other coaches to be provided
as a relay.
