Corrupt Giving.

One of the effects Of the generosity
of the unjust, which deserves more
consideration that it gets, is this: 1t
closes the mouths Of critics whose
voices might otherwise re heard in ef-
fectual protest against public wrongs
or defects which cry for change in eco
nomic conditions. Limitation Of space
confines the writer TO one illustration.
There was & public agitation some
years ago concerning a certain bill,
Involving franchise of great value.
which was being heavily 1obbied
through the New York Legislature. A
movement was at once begun against
the measure and during its progress
a gentleman standing justly high in
public esteem. 4 man of unqueStionable
Drobity and OF great influence was
asked to take part in this protest He
remained in doubt for few days and
then declined. He was the president
Of an important charitable institution
dependent largely for its support on the
generosity Of 4 particular donor, who
was also the real sponsor for the grab
bill. With what he conceived to be the
prosperity of, his institution at stake;
he could not feel it to be his duty per-
sonalIy to antagonize the corrupt
scheme Of the generous supporter Of
his institution.-Gcorge w. Alger, in

Resisting Potato Eight and Eot.

Thorough cultivation tends to G,
serve the moisture Of the soil in 4 dl 2
season (when there is little danger o.
rot, and in wet season it helps to
keep the ground frem becoming wet
and soggy. Ridging the rows holds up
tie vines from the Srohnd, anu thus
aids il Il quicker evaporation of mois-
turs from the foliage and ground, and
in so doing aids III retardinS the
spread Of the blight. 1t also covers the
tubers deeper in the soil. and so pro-
tect them better from the blight spores
that fail from the leaves. Where
spraying is practiceG it also makes this
operation easier. The objection to ri,lg-
ing is that in i dry season it may cause
the plants to suffer for lack of mois.
ture.
BY far the most satisfactory type Of
spraying outfit for tloroughness Of
work is 4 two-wheeled cart, Of suf-
tirient reach to straddie two rows of
potatoes, which carries an ordinary
barrel pump and L man to pump and
drive. Two men follow the cart. each
using a twenty-6ve-foot hose with a
single nozzle, and they each spray
three rows without moving from the
row. in which they travel backward.
The man drives the length of the hose
and the men spray ;heir rows up to the
cart, which then moves on again. In
this way the ground can be gone over
fairly quickly, and the spraying can
be done rs thoroughly us desired. Two
noZzles to 4 hose seem to be / little
better than one.
Another apparatus is 4 type often
used. In this case the stationary noz-
zles are attached to the end of an Or
dinary cart carrying 4 barrel pump,
and the pumping is done b. hand.
This, too, has some OF the objections OF
the geared machines. BY very slow
driving, however, more spray can Ee
placed on the vines. but because of the
stationary noZzles it will rot be done
very thoroughly or evenly. In this par
ticular apparatus better work would
have been done if the pump had
been stronger. 1t was not powerful
enough to readily supply the eight
nozzles used.
The results of spraying with bor-
deaux mixture vary with different sea-
sons. but depend largely Oh the thor
| ougliness of the treatments and their
application at the proper time. 1t is
much easier to secure an increased
yield of potatoes from spraying than
it is to prevent rot in these afterward.
This increased yield varies from almost
nothing to sometimes over 100 pc,
cent. and the rot of the tubers is
usually less in the sprayed than in the
unsprayed fields. An average gain OF
fifteen to twenty per cent. should be
had in order to pay for the extra cos1
and trouble of spraying; any gair
above that is profit.-G. z. Clinton

The BIGGEST ELEPHANT TUSKS
EVER FOUND.

This is picture of one of the two
largest tusks that ever came into the
ivory trade. Both came from the same
animal.
The specimen here supported by four
ivory carriers weighs PAT pounds.
Think of carrying around to very
venerable age weight of nearly 500
pounds in tusks alone! No wonder
that an elephants neck is so thick
and muscular.
One day about eight years ago a
party of black elephant hunters on a
slope of Mount Kilimanjaro saw the
animal that was carrying these Won
derful tusks around and killed it. The
villagers down below We're much as
tonished when they saw four men
carrying the ivory down the mountain.
They had never seen tusk before that

Selling IL Half the Crop.

1t makes ME tired to hear farmers
say there is no sale for their produce,
when they don't even let any one know
that they have some commodities for
SALE. Last summer I visited neighbor
S. / noticed he had 4 few trees Of
summer Rambo apples as fine as they
grow. going to waste. 1 asked him
why he did not sell them. NO one
wants them.' he replied. I told him
such apples We're in big demand in
York ut more than 81 per Dushel.
"Well, John" he said. speaking to his
son, II guess You vii, have to take
them down and sell them. and you will
have half the money" So John put
the apples nicely on straw in the
wagon box and covered them al up
with blankets and started to York to
sell the apples. He drove up town
about mile. thoscapples nicely covered
up Ill the time, expecting, no doubt.
that some telepathist or mind reader
would divine what he had. come out on

Piles, but he was not so fortunate. BY
mere accident. grocer discovered that
he had apples. and on sight bought
them all for about half what be could
have sold them for had he only let
people know that he had apples for

WHAT TOrEMlSM S

1t is interesting to note that toteiSc

tentOtS Of Africa. and even the hill
tribes Of India. TotemS are also com
mon among the SamOanS
Broadly. the totem is the badge of Il
clan or tribe: but it signifies Il great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only Il tribal en-
biem. but also Il family signal: rot
merely 4 symbol of nationality, but
also an expression of rci9ion: not sinh
ply i bond Of union among primitive
peoples. but also Il regulator OF the
marriage laws. and Of other social III

fined as IL CLASS of material objects.

StitiouS respect. believing that there
exists between him and every member
o. the class an intimate and special

Among the Oiibway Indians, there
are 10 fewer than twenty-tEree diff
ferent totemS. Nine Of these are quad
rupedS, marking out the wolf. the
bear. the beaver, and other clans.
eight are birds. five are fishes. and one
is the snake.
Some extraordinary superstitions re-
garding totems prevail in Samoa.
Thus. it is believed that if. Il Turtle
man eats of a turtle. he will. grow
very i'll. and the voice Of the turtle will
be heard in his inside saying: He ate
me: am killing him" If Banana
man uses banana leaf for cap, he
becomes bald. If 4 Butterfy-man
catches butterfly, it strike him dead.
If q Fowl-man eats fowl, delirium
and death result And so on-all going
to show that the totem has something
of the quality of fetch as we'll as
the significance of family emblem.
Regarding totemiSm, it is to be noted
that the relation of mutual help and
protection includes also the totem it.
self; that is to say. if a man takes
care of his totem, he expects the to-
tenn to return the compliment. If the
totem is a dangerous animal. it must
not hurt his clansmen. The Scorpion
men of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
their bodies without hurting them.
There is a Snake clan in Australia.
which holds to similar belief. Among
the Crocodile clan of the Bechuanas,
if a man is bitten by crocodile, or
even has water splashed on him by
one, lie is expelled from the clan as
one esteemed unworthy by the totem.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle With Coffee.

There is something fairly demonia-
cal in the way coffee sometimes wreaks
its fendish malice on those who use It.
A lady writing from Calf: says:
"My husband and I, both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from q
very annoying form Of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort Of at
fection Of tie nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We GOT no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as to
what caused the trouble. till friend
suggested that possibly the coGee we
drank had something to do with 1t. and
advised that we quit it and try Pos
tum Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice. and from
the Gay that we began to use Postum

tirply relieved. The nerves became
steady once more. the headaches

of coffee vanished.

Soy beans are valuable crop. particu-
larly for silage. Late cabbage can
often be grown to profit as marker

will furnish valuable fodder. Profss'
sor Phelps says that he has found
