How to Succeed In Literature.

The qualities which l consider most
conducive to success in literature are
Imagination, coupled with a great
knowledge Of the world, concentration,
the willingness and ability to work
hard, a considerable knowledge of
business and a firm determination to
ignore the instructions Of literary and
other agents with regard to what the
reading public may be supposed to re-
quire. If any author once loses his in
dependence in writing he may be call
ed finished, SO far as any career is in
question.-John Oliver Hobbies.

Italians Win Boat Race.

The Italian boatmen swept every
thing before them in the interna-
tional boatrace between the crews
of the various warships anchored in
Hampton Roads Monday. They
won three out of four of the four
races pulled off and lost the fourth
by fouling the battleship Indiana 8
boat,
There was considerable betting on
the last race. The race went to the
Americans despite the foul. The
action of the Italians in this race
caused great deal of bad feeling.
The showing of the Japanese was
very poor. They were entered in
the three-mile service cutter race
and were hopelessly distanced.

HOW TO MIX FERTI-
LIZERS AT HOME.

To any Farmer who will write us,
mentioning this paper, we will send
free postpaid, several formulas for
making a frst-class fertilizer at
home, together with the cost of the
ingredients, directions for mixing,
etc.
The Vermont Experiment Station
in its bulletin No. 116 has the fol-
lowing TO say with reference to the
value of home mixed fertilizers as
compared with the ordinary COM
mercial brands: "On every account.
however, financial, educational, agri-
cultural, it is better to buy the crude
stock and home-mix if one uses a
ton or more"
All up-to- date farmers should be
interested in the subject of home
mixed fertilizers and we are in a po-
sition to help them. Address,

A Vain DESIRE,

/ want to go back to the old home place
And swing on the old front gate;
In the cool, clear spring would lave my
face,
Forgetting the proud and the great;
l long to kneel on the springhouse floor
And drink of the rich, sweet cream,
And sit on the step by the kitchen door
And dream as used to dream.
1 want to go back DER the long. long
way;
To stray through the orchard aisles,
Forgetting the price that man must
pay
For the poorest of fortunes smiles;
want to escape from the noise and the
mirk
And the scheming of money mad men,
But they'd probably want me to &c
work
If l wandered ont there again.
