EFFECTS OF LIME UPON PLANTS.

1t has been found that Lime is the
first mineral clement required to be
supplied from the soil so that the
process of vegetation may be success
fully started; and from this time on
Lime has a remarkable influence on
the external forms of plants. When
there is an abundance of Lime in the
soil the spaces between the leaves arc
shorter, and the stalk organs and
leaves are more vigorous and the fruit
age heavier; whereas; where soils arc
deficient in Lime, the plant shoots uI
in slim spindly stalk, exhausts it,
self in an abundant plumage, but
sets little fruit. There are Lime loving
and avoiding plants. Among the Lime
loving plants are the Red Clover, the
Cow Pea and the Soy Bean; and
among the grains, wheat and corn.
Among the Lime avoiding plants are
the Sorrcl, Sea Pines and a number
of other weeds. Thus also, observe
the woods,- trees growing on strong
Limestone soils are sturdy with strong
stout branches and dense tops, while
those growing on poorer soils, deficient
in Lime are scrubby, crooked and
knotty with slender branches and
and small tattcrcd tops.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov.3RD.
If it were not for the ovcrshadowing
Importance of the elections, and cs-
pecially of the election in New York,
the news from Washington while not
sensational, would be interesting
enough, but all eyes are turned from
this city where the polls are never
open, to the states that will elect Il
new Congress, and to New York,
where until few days ago it was
anticipated the election of a governor
might be prognostic Of the personality
of the next president. The number
OF Government clerks who have left
and will leave Washington to vote in
their various states, will be probably
not more than half as in years past.
The clerks no longer hold their places
by influence. Many of them think
that they do, and a few perhaps still
cling by this old-time cinch, but in
huence is growing less and less a Sc
curity for place and the ability of the
clerk to pass the Civil Service exam
nation and to do his work is becom-
ing more important. In political cir
cles there has been no subject OF more
interest than Secretary Root remark
able speech in Utica. The language OF
the distinguished member of the
House of Peers when he said, The
gentleman cannot be severe without
being supplementary" will show
him that | can be severe and parlia-
mentary too", are remarkably appli-
cable to Secretary Roots finished fay
ing of Mr.. Hearst. 1t is understood
that the Secretary represented the
President. He was in fact his proxy
and it is thought his speech will have
as much influence as if the President
had madc,it. 1t is recognized, However,
that the President, while a direct and
vigorous speaker, would be quite in
capable of forensic effort of such
finish and condensation. 1t is reported
that the effect of this speech and OF
the message of Croker from England
have changed the betting 50 that the
odds are still stronger against Mr..
Hearst, that is five to one. The Hearst
ties, however, continue to claim every
thing, and are able to point to the
fact that in the late MAJORITY election
the betting odds were all against him.
1t is reported that the ill-feeling
against the United States is subsiding
in Japan, especially since it is learned
that the United States Government is
to use it's best offices to secure the adj
mission of japanese children to the
public schools in San Francisco. How
the United States Government is to
accomplish anything in this direction
is, however, not so easily understood
on this side the planet. Here we know
something of the state rights and
municipal prejudices and we know
that caste is just about as well estab-
lished, though with different eccen-
tricities as in India. 1t is not at all
improbable that we will sooner or
later have to argue with the japanese
vi ct arms. News comes from our
PHILIPPINE possessions that a japanese
officer has been arrested while making

In the United States approximately
600 churches year are burned, with
a loss of two million dollars. The fur
naces is the prime cause of the losses.
The fires result from the furnace be-
ing too near an unprotected cellar
ceiling; from opening through which
sparks may pass and from the over
heating of hot air pipes.

sketches of the Notifications about
Manila, Cavite and Coregidor Island.
It will be remembered that sometime
ago all Japanese cooks and servants
were discharged from the United
States Naval vessels because it was
suspected that some of them were ed
ucated spies and were there to sup
plement the naval educations that
have been receiving at Greenwich, An
napolis, Kfel and in the naval schools
of other governments. The story is
told that an American captain, in
making formal, official visit to a
Japanese warship, recognized in the
captain who received him in full un-
form, his former cook. The story may
or may not be true, but there is more
than one nation that is watching with
interest not unmixed with anxiety,
the energetic, insinuating activity Of
these irrepressible Yankees OF the
orient. President Roosevelt who went
to the country Cottage which he
bought two years ago in Albermarle
County Virginia in order, it was given
out, that he might finish his message
to Congress before leaving for Panama
is evidently not troubling himself q
great deal about the message. He is
taking advantage of the hunting
season and the fine weather to bring
down wild turkey or tree a coon.
While he has many trophies OF his
many hunts Of big game, he has nc
coon skin. Some countrymen with the
Halloween spirit still unsatisfied
thought to have one with the Pres
idcnt by releasing a flock OF tame tur-
keys in the course which they knew
he would take in hunting the game
ones. But the President was too wary
for them and passed the tame birds
by without second glance. While
living in almost nomadic style in the
little cottage which is several miles
from the nearest ncighbor he rises
carly, he eats a light breakfast by
lamplight and spends the day in
tramping or riding through the
woods. Mrs. Roosevelt who though
she is the first lady of the land has
few opportunities to do just as she
plcascs delights in freedom of the
country and clad in a short skirt
and loose coat now takes long walks
with the President or when he is
hunting tramps about the place by
herself. The weather has been ideal
during this visit and the President
is SO enthusiastic about the life there
that he will return to it at Thanks
giving and again ut Christmas. 1t is
Il peculiarly of Mr.. Roosevelt that
his adaptability and enthusiasm make
him at home everywhere and whether
he is entertaining at Il state dinner at
the White House or eating off of iron
stone china in his six room country
cottage he is apparently at that mo-
mcnt enjoying himself to the limit.

A Trite Saying.

It Is a trite saying that no man Is
stronger than his stomach. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery strengthens
the stomach-puts 1t in shape to make
pure rich hlood--helps the liver and
kidneys to expol the poisons from the
body and thus cures both liver and kid
ney troubles. If you take this natural
blood purifier and tonic, you will assist
your system in manufacturing each day
q pint of rich, red blood, that is invigo-
rating to the brain and nerves. The
weak, nervous, run down, debilitated
condition which SO many people suffer
from, Is usually the effect Of poisons in
the blood; 1t is often indicated by pmples
or boils appearing on the skin, the face
becomes thin and the feelings "blue."
Dr.. picrce's "Discovcry cures all blood
humors as well as being q tonic that
makes ono vigorous, strong and forceful.
1t is the only medicine put up for salo
through druggists for like purposes every

endorsement of the leading medical
writer's OF this country. Some of these
endorsements are published In little

works and will be sent to any address
