FRIGHTFUL LOSS
IN FERTILIZERS.

We are in position, we think,
to prove to tho satisfaction of most
any reasonable intelligent farmer
that South Carolina cotton farm
ers this year have lost enough
money in ammoniated fertilizer
to build at least one good ware
house in each cotton county of tho
State. Perhaps ninety percent Of
those that use ammoniated forti-
lizers put this ammoniated fortili-
zers in the ground before the seed
is planted. And yet we are told
by the chemist that the most val.
liable constituents in these ammo
mated fertilizers IRE soluble in
water that they are no good.
After the ten days Of heavy rain
we had in June there is not en-.
ough of this ammonia lett in the
soil TO make cotton enough for o
monkey Jacket Greenwood Jour
nal.

TO Cure Appendicitis.

a lady, having q severe case
of appendicitis, sent for a physi-
clan who refused to use knife
or give her any medicine what
ever. All he did was this: He
placed one hand on the point on
the outer surface of the abdomen,
beneath which the vermiform APP
pendix is known to be, with the
other the doctor grabbed the
right leg of the patient at the
knee. TO the leg, by q quick
movement, he gave a slight twist,
repeating it several times. That
was all Of the operation. The pa
tient got we'll. Tho effect of this
forced muscular action was to
squeeze out of the appendix par
tlcles which where clogging it.
This remedy will do no harm
to try it.
Here is another case and it is
Q true one. Down in the eastern
part of tho State last year, a
gentleman was living in q boat

mis-. which is more careful Of its young
than fish generally are. The male
takes the eggs in his mouth and keeps
them in his natural side pockets, where
they are regularly Matched and remain
until able to shift for themselves By
this ingenious arrangement the brood
is. comparatively guarded against its
natural enemies. 1t Is easily fed, too,
but it is a puzzle how the little ones
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago,
says traveller writing to religious
contemporary, found in my net q
number of these fish without eyes.
Others Of the species, when lifted
them up, dropped number of little
fishes out Of their mouths. which swan,
away hastily. The natives explained;
the phenomenon. The blind chEomis
is the victim of sea hawks. When
these birds have eaten their I'll they
begin to look out for tidbits. After
catching a fish they hit its forehead
with their sharp beak, knocking out
the middle part, in which their eyes are
set. The bony structure is dropped
into the water, but the eyes ore eaten
by the birds with great relish
Strangely enough, the fish generally
survive thle rough treatment. The
wound heals up quickly in water, and
they continue to ply the lake for food
as If nothing had happened.-London

Elephants Delight In Dress and Cor
geous TrappinEs.
Elephants are passionately fond OF
fnery and delight to see themselves
decked out with gorgeous trappings
The native princes Of India are very
particular IN choosing their state ele
plants and will give fabulous sums for
an animal that exactly meets the some
what fanciful standards they have
erected.
Il. For these they have made cloths OF
silk SO heavily embroidered with gold
that two men are hardly able to lift
them.
An amusing instance Of elephantine
pride is narrated: The elephant which
usually led the state procession of a
rajah being Ill, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which had
up to that time occupied only subor-
dinate place.
The animal. delighted with its tinery,
showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks Of pleasure that gen
eral attention was attracted TO II.
Not long after another state process
sion was formed, and the previous
wearer Of the gold cloths being re
stored to health. took his accustomed
place and trapptngs. when the now de.
graded beast Imagining perhaps that
he was being defrauded Of his promo
ton. was with great diRcutty restrain
ed from attacking the leader Of the
parade.
