DRY TO account for the peculiarities of
American speech as due to a particu-
lar formation of the palate, peculiar
originally to the American Indians.

That this is nonsense appears from the
fact that Americans taken. in childhood
to England speak with an English ac-
cent. There can be no question as to
the marked divergence of English and
American speech, particularly i'm the
matter of intonation. American speech
Is much more monotonOus and less

After briefly describing the cause of
potato blight, c. A. McCue, of the Mich
isan experiment station, gives the re-
suits of experiments In which potatoes
were sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
and comparisons made with similar
plants receiving spraying of lime wa
GER. Where the potatoes were given
fourteen sprayings of Bordeaux mix
tire at intervals of four days a net
gain of $11.90 per acre Is reported
Where they were sprayed at intervals
Of ten days, six applications being Civ
ell, q net gain of $15.44 per acre is Civ
en-. On plats sprayed every fifteen days
a net gain of S133S per acre is report
ed. and where four sprayings at inter
walls Of twenty days $11.O3 per acre net
gain is reported. For the plat which
received fourteen sprayings of lime
water at intervals of four days loss
Of SIG is reported. The cost of spray
ing is said TO have Deen ~ cents per
acre for each application. This amount,
the author believes. could be reduced
to not more than 90 cents per acre.
The author gives compiled informa-
ton relative to spraying by individual
farmers, the results obtained at other

rheumatism, govt and all liver affec-

flour mixed with milk was the only

secret of the banana as a health and

Alternating Crops.

In connection with rotation of crops
the land should be improved every
year. There is point beyond which
soils can not be permanently enriched
without an improvement of their con-
stitutional organization, which, how
ever, may be done by supplying artifi-
cially those ingredients of good soil
of which they are deficient, such as
lime, and even sand or clay, If posi-
bic, for without changes in the consti-
tutional organization Of the soil we can
not hope to carry its fertility perma-
nently beyond what it has acquired In
a state Of nature. Soils which have
been reduced merely by cultivation,
where they have not been injured by
washing rains, may be easily reno
waited, and this must be done by again
supplying them with those ingredients
of which they have been deprived by
bad husbandry. This may be done In
part by the application of manures.
whence we are to draw much of the
necessary supply of vegetable food. and
to this end farmers should freely cult
vate those crops which derive most of
their food from 1t. In soils adapted
for It's cultivation, red clover is most
suitable for this purpose 1t Is by far
the most convenient and the cheapest
mode of renovating exhausted soils,
not only supplying much vegetable
matter to soils that have been much
reduced, but it is admirably calculated
to pulverize and reduce it's component
parts to a finely divided state, thus
producing a condition favorable to a
combination with those elementary
substances which are furnished by the
atmosphere, thereby greatly increasing
it's capacity for absorbing moisture.
Even weeds, previous to the time of
ripening their seeds, derive much of
their nutriment from the atmosphere.
and by destroying them before they
produce seed their product In vegeta-
BILE matter goes to renovate that soil
upon which they have been grown.

A Monster Musical In.trum.n,

The most gigantic harp ever con
structed, as far as tie record goes
was that made by yeritaH, the provost
of Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland. in
1857. That was long while ago. but
the fame of NJ. Veritan's gigantic harr
was such that it is still occasionally
mentioned by writer's OH the rare and
the wonderful. just as the sea serpent
bloody rain, live mastodons, etc, are
NJ. Neritan's colossal musical instru.
ment was 800 feet in length. and, on
that account, was constructed in an
open lot instead of in u harp factory.
1t was most simple in construction,
consisting Of fifteen wires strung tight
~ between two poles. These wires
were of different sizes, the largest be.
ing one-sixth Of an inch in diameter
and the smallest one-twelfth of an
inch They were stretched lorth and
south and inclined in such manner
as TO form an angle of from twenty
to thirty degrees with the horizon. This
queer instrument was not intended as
an exaggerated toy, but was construct
ed for the express purpose of foreteil-
ing changes in the weather. which were
calculated by Professor Veritan ac-
cording TO the different tones the in
strument made when the wind was
blowing through it.

A New sleeping Car story.

Among the railroad visitors in town
recently, says the Cleveland Leader,
was Z. A. Miller, general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway. He visited all of the
general offices in town and at the TIol
lenden Hotel told story of one of the
sleeping car porters who was recently
found asleep while on duty. This is
contrary TO the rules of The st. Paul
Road, and the negro man was in trouble
when found by the Inspector on The
Pioneer Limited. He had his wits
about him, however and in response t.
the Inspectors inquiry as to what b.
was doing asleep, he said:

had violated tie rules. he was permit

some medicines, instead of preventing con-

cathartics, which, when first used. have a

continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation. however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
