Soil

Impoverished soil, like ilnpov- 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. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you need a 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

Senator Proctor, of Vermont, as all who know him will agree, is very kind, benevolent and grandfatherly sort of man. He thinks we'll of old school teach CTS who have been poorly paid and had the misfortune to out live their usefulness. To make them comfortable the rest of their days he has given them his house in Rutland, Vt, and with it 8 purse of 810,000. The Senator is very wealthy and can well afford to be generous.

SCORPIONS AND SPIDERS.
POtntS In Common Between These
LORthsOme Animals.

Between the spiders and scorpions,
those grayish, lobsterlike foes Of every
living thing. which Turk In old walls
and beneath the debris Of ruins, silent,
patient, giving the sting that kills aud
then sucking the victims blood, there
are points ia common" writes +. g..
Ahalo, the traveller and writer Of Lon.
don, This very habit Of sucking blood
is shared 10y them, for the scorpion
does not tear It's victims tiesh with
ptnchcrs, like n CrayfSh, but sucks the
juices through q small and tubular
mouth not unlike that Of spiders Both
Of them breathe through lung openings
In the abdomen, and in each the number
Of legs is eight, not six, as in insects
The latter class, which form the TODD
OF the smaller spiders, are enormously
regarded As safe II they have wings &c
fly Even in England there are spiders
which run 50 swiftly aud leap with
such precision that, apart from the Rid
Ok webs, few but the largest insects
are secure from their attacks. In Aus.
tr0!il there are plruchuting spiders
which sail obliquely down from the
tree tops, and these must be deadly to
encounter Let us give the spider It's
due. Even those who Willingly con.
cede It's diligence grudge II the unde-
niable attribute Of cleanliness.
Few created animals are more loath.
some than the scorpion. There is
graceful leauty in the dcadllest snake.
in the fierce tiger, even in the banded
wasps and hornets, but In the scorpion
there Is nothing but founess. The
creatures bite varies I'm lts results, pos
sibly according to the condition OF the
scorpion itself. but more probably nc
COrdiug to that OF the person bitten. |
know OF one case VI man, an Amcrl.
can, who was repeatedly bitten by
scorpions without on any occasion sur.
fcring more than Il few hours OF dis.
comfort. In Morocco ] have seen lads
handle scorpions without Il sign Of fear,

their hands even laying them on their

MEERSCHAUM PIPES.
, I Test By which to Tell the Genuine
From the Spurious.

From the Spurious,
Once upon a time there was a man
who spent eight of the best years Of
his life colOring a meerschaum pipe,
only TO find at the end Of that period
that he had been nursing IA piece Of
''mussakopfe" instead Of the genuine
''ecume de mer." The "masSakopfe"
Is a composition made Of the parings Of
genuine meerschaum and a mineral
clay. The parings are triturated to a
fine powder, boiled In water and mold
ed Into blocks, with or without the ad.
dlton Of clay. Each block Is then cut
into Il bowl, but as II contracts cOnsid-
erably it must be left some time 10
dry These bowls are distinguished
from tho genuine meersChaum 10y their
greater specific gravity, but there is no
absolutely certain tcst by which the
real mecrschaum can be told from the
composition.
In forming a pipe from "eCume de
er" the siicatc Of nagnesia Is pre-
pared for The operation 10y soaking In
& composition OF wax, oil and fats
The wax aud oil absorbed by the meer-
aChaum are the cause OF the color pro-
duced by smoking. The heat OF the
burning tobacco causes the wax and
fatty substances to pass through the
stages Of q dry distillatiOn. and, be
coming associated with the products
Of the distillatlOn Of the tobacco. they
are dldused through the substances OF
the bowl producing those gradatlOns
Of tint which are so much priced. In
some cases the bowls are artifcially
. colOred by dipping them, before being
soaked In wax, In q solution Of sui
phate Of iron, either alone or mixed
with dragons blood.
Good meerschaum Is soft enough 60
De indented by the thumb nail. IL
yields readily TO the knife. especially
after having been Wetted. There are
various denaitiea. Some kinds sink 10
water: others AOat on the surface.
Those OF medium density are preferred
By the pipe maker. for the light varie.
ties are porous and even cnvsrnous.
Many judges assume that the heavier
&inds are spurious. but there IL no alb
SOlute proof that such is the case. A
negative test may be mentioned. The
composition bowls never exhibit those
aittie blemishes which result from the
Rresepcs Of foreign bodies IN the nat.
