Where Gloves Are Grown.

The raising of kids FOR their skins is
leading industry among the French
mountaineers, who obtain no small
part of their subsistence from this
source. Softness, delicacy of texture
and freedom from blemish are princi-
pal factors in the value of kid skins.
and to secure these essentials great
pains are taken. AS soon as the young
animal begins to eat grass the value of
the skin declines, for with grass diet
its skin Immediately begins to grow
coarser and harder in texture, and it's
chief merit vanishes. 1t is, therefore,
kept closely penned, not only to pre-
vent it from eating brass, but also to
secure its skin from accidental injury
from scratches or brushes, which i'm
pair its value. When the kids have
reached a certain age at which the
skins are In the best condition for the
use of the glover they are killed, and
the hides are sold TO travelling hawk
ers, through whom they reach the
great centers of the tanning industry

Accommodating Landlord.

A correspondent assures us that he
never knew that it was possible for an
innkeeper to be too accommodating to
his guests until he went down to Nova
Scotia and put up at pleasant little
hotel in the country. The landlord of
this hotel laid 1t down as one of his
principles Of action to give people lit
tie more than they asked for-to be
"eXtra accommodating" as he term
ed it.
The landlord brilliantly illustrated
his adherence to this principle the very
morning after our correspondents ar
rival at the hotel. The guest had to go
away on the o'clock train that morn
ing and asked the proprietor to call
him at 6. The guest went to sleep in
the calm assurance that he should be
aroused at the proper hour.
He seemed hardly to have fallen into
sound sleep when he heard a terrific
pounding at his door. He sprang up
wide awake.
whats the matter" he called out.
-Four O'clock! Four o'clock!' came
the landlords voice from the other side
of the door. 1.-TWO hours more to
sleep!'
1t is needless to say that the guest
slept no more that morning. The land
lords anxiety to be extra accommo
dating failed of its mark that time.

A Rot Resister.

Out Of fifty-five varieties of potatoes
tested for rot at the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station the Professor julius
Kuhn shows the greatest immunity
from injury by the blights Of any of
the varieties tested. Each year plants
of this variety have remained in full
foliage from one to two weeks longer
than any other variety grown under
the same treatment as regards soil,
fertilizer and spraying. The average
yield of this variety for the past seven
years has been at the rate of 204.2
bushels per acre. The Professor Julius
Kuhn is a German variety, long and
oval in shape. with golden yellow skin
and white flesh; season, medium to
late. While it will probably never
prove of value for our markets on ac-
count of its shape, yet the experiment
station suggests that it is worthy of at
tention from plant breeders as one of
the parents TO be used in making
crosses with other varieties which are
not so resistant to blight, but which
produce tubers of more desirable
shape for market

Sen Salt.

1t seems that the sea was made salt
in the beginning as a part of the grand
design of The Creator to provide for
the system of evolution which has been
going on since the creation. Many dis
tinct species of living organisms exist
in the sea as a result of its salinity.
and their remains have largely contrib
uted to the growth Of continents. The
three great factors in accounting for
the system of currents In the ocean
by which it becomes the great heat dis
tributer of the globe are changes Of
temperature, the winds ana salinity.
The last mentioned becomes an i'm
portant factor through the immediate
and essential differences of specific
gravity and consequent differences of
level that 1t produces in different parts
Of the ocean through the action of
evaporation and rainfall.

Boiled or Self Boiled.

The various lime and sulphur mix
lures (some with and some without
salt and caustic soda) are all recon-
mended by the New Jersey expert
ment station as giving more uniform
results when boiled by fire or steam
than when self boiled. 1t is advised
to boil them with fire or steam when it
can be done without too much labor.
The self boiled mixtures are sometimes
convenient because more easily made,
though slightly less reliable unless
carefully prepared and thoroughly ap-
piled.

TOUCHING FOR KINGS EVIL.
Extent of the Custom In the Seven
feenfh Century

Extent of the Custom In the Seven
teenth Century.
Between the years 1861 and 1852 as
many as 90. 107 persons were touched
for the kings evil. Each of them re-
.ceived a gold coin, with a hole In it,
which-the coin, not the hole-'was sus-
pended from the neck by a ribbon" 1t
became necessary to limit the number
of patients to be touched, and at last
no person was allowed in the kings
presence for that purpose who had not
previously obtained a certificate from
the minister of the parish in which he
or she lived that he or she was suffer
ing from the disease.
"Hambledon, Bucks, 1856, May II.
Mary Wellington had a certificate to
go before the king for a disease called
the kings evil."-Parish Registers,
Page 81, r. E. Chester Waters.
From a proclamation issued by
Charles H., dated Jan. 9, 1858, appoint
ing the times at which the touch should
be administered:
"And all such as shall hereafter come
or repair to the court for this purpose
shall bring with them certificates under
the hands and seals of the parson, vic
ar or minister and of both or one of
the churchwardens, testifyng accord
ing to the truth that they have not at
any time before been touched by
his majesty to the intent to be healed
of their disease. And all ministers and
churchwardens are hereby required tc
be very careful to examine into the
truth before they give such certificates
and also to keep a register of all GER
tifcates they shall from time to time
give"-London Notes and Queries.

POTATOES FOR PROFIT.
Deep, Rich, Fine Soil, With Clean
Culture, Grows Them.

Culture, OrOws Theu.
The potato is never so much at home
and so perfectly happy as in a deep,
rich and thoroughly pulverized soil.
Any one who doubts this can easily
test it for himself by taking a small
patch and thoroughly pulverizing the
soil to depth of twenty inches; then
put on as much phosphate as you think
it needs, then twice as much more.
Be very sure the fertilizer is thorough
" mixed with the soil so as not to
burn up the seed; then pieces of pota-
toes with two eyes, one in a hill.
Good sized potatoes are preferred for
seed.
Finally put the hills three feet apart
each way so as to let in the sun. Cul-
tivate we'll and note the result. OF
course this plan cannot easily be car
ried out on large areas, nor would it
be best A little increase in depth each
year is all one can ordinarily do. In
making the small patch above men
toned do not literally dig down twen-
ty inches, but only so far as good soil
is found Then throw on good soil
from adjoining land to make the re-
quired depth.
The Land and the Seed.
1t is usually better to turn over a
piece of greensward in the fall to be
planted to potatoes the next spring.
Stones, little and big, should be out of
the way of the disk harrow, so that a
good job can be done. And here it is
important that one should harrow a
piece all it seems to need and then do
twice as much more. If potatoes are
planted more than one year on the
same ground there is danger of scab,
and that hurts the sale of them.
Dry Ground.
1t is an expensive luxury to plant on
wet land, provided the season proves
wet. Potatoes planted on very dry
land will not amount to much in a dry
season. Taking one season with an
other, it is perhaps better to plant Oh
dry ground, for then the seed can be
got in early, and there can be no ques
ton about the first potato sprouts be
ing the most vigorous. The quality is
also usually better on dry land. 1t will
pay to ride few miles and get seed
from some one who has raised a bis
crop.
Spraying and Wedding.
| 1t takes no more time to spray pota
toes before the foliage is destroyed by
beetles than after. 1t also takes mucl
less time to cultivate them before th'
weeds get the start than afterward
and the difference in the crop is con
siderable.-Henry J. Viets in American
| Cultivator.

Corn Planting Time.

The old saying that ''it is time to
plant corn when the dogwood is in
bloom" is as close as one can come to
fixing a date that will suit all latitudes,
remarks an exchange. Certainly the
ground should be in good condition be-
fore the seed is planted. No time is
gained by planting before the soil is
somewhat warm and in condition for
the seed to germinate and grow rap
idly.

BREAK IN PRICES

For It,

New York, June 27.-Thege was no
special new developments in condi.
tons today to account for the rather
violent break in prices. Influences
which are responsible for the unload
ing OF stocks have been gathering for
some time past. Today's break was
due, as much as to anything to dis
Icouragemant over the failure of the
/ market to respond TO anything in the
Inature of favorable developments.
This had the effect of fixing opinion
that all favorable opportunities were
being taken to sell stocks. This re
suited in reassurng an uncovered bear
interest which had begun to manifest
some misgiving over its position ow-
| ing 10 the extent to which the decline
/ had already extend cd and proportions
ITO which the short interest is RENTED
TO have grown. With the demand from
| beals to cover shorts there was no
effective buying from any quarter to
absorb heavy liquidation which came
upon the market again today. Some
persistent efforts were made during
| the morning to support prices and 10
drive shorts to cover. This had the
effect for a while Of intimidating bears
and on any considerable decline they
showed deposition to take their
profits ana To buy. With the progress
of the day The pressure of long on any
advantage became clearly manifest
and efforts of support were almost
wholly abandoned
