 Mir Roosevelt finally saw that a set tlcment was impossible, and he smil- ngly suggested that coin should be let decide,
 The senators were game and up went a dollar Heads it was and Kittredge won all.

N itroqen In the SUGAR Beet,

The results Of some German expert

manufacture Of sugar. The quantity
Of injurious nitrogen found in the root
varied with the kind of seed. The use
of Il single heterogeneous fertilizer,
whether in the form of nitrate or am
monia, increased the quantity Of nj
trogen in the beet. but the use Of barn
yard manure up to about twenty-Seven
tons per acre under conditions of Il
normal rainfall produced 40 injurious

nitrate OF soda up 10 about LOCO pounds

may be largely reduced by the addition

A Pleasant Sort of Sea.

The power of the surf is a thing
about which many of us have but the

The people of the island Of Chinco-

half wide, have, however, opportunities
for judging this experience. which they
must find the reverse of pleasant. On

also a mile and a half wide, but the
power with which the waves come is

THE FLIRTING B
Feminine Visitors to the English House

Women visitors to the English house
Of commons are relegated to the semi
seclusion Of a gallery provided with a
heavy iron grating. When a gentle
hum of conversation md light laughter
floats down from the ladies' gallery
members look up and see through the
interstices of the heavy grating deli
cate tints Of soft fabrics, the bloom of
q fair check or the CLEAN Of a bare
white arm.
Amusement and curiosity, of course
bring the ladies to the house of COM
mons, but these cannot be the only
motives. The fair visitors would hard
ly trouble to array themselves in such
ravishing evening toilets merely to
sit in the gallery, that III lighted den
where dresses are not seer to adj

No doubt it was with a view to the
prevention Of flirting that the rule was
laid down that if a member desires to
converse with Il lady in the gallery he
may do so for five minutes only. Mem
bers, especially the young and impress
sionable, make frequent visits to the
cage. OF course it is for the purpose
of pointing out the celebrities on the
benches below.
But if in doing so he should exceed
five minutes the gallery attendant is
empowered to call his attention, cour

has outstayed his limit. 1t is to be
