What Red Coral Is.

The red coral that is used for neck
laces is horny axis which supports
a number of soft-bodied, coral-like
animals, or polyps, the entire struc-
ture bearing a strong resemblance to
a small shrub. The fishermen, after
they have brought this shrub-like col
ony to the surface, clean the soft ami.
NAL matter away, preserving the red
core, or axis, which is sold as jewelry.
Although red coral contains some
lime, it is largely composed of sub
stance akin to horn, and, like horn, ii
takes a fine polish. Horn, wool and
other animal substances of this ma
ture almost invariably change their
color when brought into intense heat

Regarding the duration of fertilizers
In the soil, after application, expert
mefits made in England demonstrated
that lime, when applied to hill pasture,
is supposed to last fifteen years, one
twentieth to be exhausted the first
year and one-tenth each year up to
the seventh, inclusive; one-twentieth
from the eighth to the thirteenth in
elusive and one-fourth each of the re-
naming two years; when applied to
permanent grass other than hill pas
ture it is held to last for IL years, one
tenth being exhausted each of the first
eight years and one-twentieth each of
the last four; and when applied to
arabic or meadow land, to be exhaust
ed In eight years, one-tenth the frs,
two-tenths each the second and third
and one-tenth each of the remaining
five years.
Undissolved bones, applied to per-
manent pasture, will last for ten years,
the rate of exhaustion to be similar to
lime on arabic land. When applied on
arabic land in rotation of crops, bones
are supposed to be exhausted at the
rate of five-tenths the first, two tenths
each OF the second and third and one
tenth the fourth and when applied to
meadow land are supposed to exhaust
at the rate of four-tenths each the first
and second years and two-tenths the
third year.
Superphosphates on arabic land, dis

eight-tenths the first year and two
tenths the second Nitrate of soda and

BILE go with one crop.
The manural residue of purchased
cakes, etc., consumed on permanent
pasture is supposed to have effect for
five years-one-tenth going the first
year, three-tenths each for the next
two years, two-tenths the fourth year
and one-tenth the fifth year; but on
meadow land the duration is three
years-fve-tenths being exhausted the
first year, three-tenths the second and
two-tenth the third These results are
not conclusive. but are valuable for
comparison.
A mixture of two bushels of ground
plaster with. thirty bushels of wood
ashes is one of the best fertilizers
that can be applied to the clover field
and it should be put on early, being
evenly broadeasted. This work should
be done on a damp day and the rains
will carry it down. The effect of the
application will be noticed during the
whole season.

Hens that lay soft eggs are general

Never use coal oil or grease of any
kind on a sitting hen, as it prevents

Corn should be restricted to the fat

heterogeneous food, such as clover hay
The best single grain for breeding
sheep is oats. Bran is also good for
breeding ewes to stimulate them and
produce strong lambs.
The value of any kind of farm stock

Whether pure breeds or. grades, the

the farm make a marked comparison
with those bred without regard to mer-
it, and every farmer should breed to

Onions Should go in rich ground, but
the most important work with grow

and to keep the ground clear of weeds

must be made for an expenditure OF
about twenty-five dollars a year for
gymnasium clothing and material.
The course of study in the best OF
! these schools is thorough and compre-
hensive 1t includes anatomy, physi-
ology, hygiene, both general and per-
sonal, and pathology, all of which are
studied not only from books, but in
hospitals and laboratories and by dis
section and experiment.
Following this solid foundation
comes the study of English and the
cultivation Of the speaking voice;
massage, practised under special
teachers in the out-patient department
of the city hospitals; instruction in
pedagogy and psychology; and, of
course, from the beginning, constant
practice and instruction in fencing,
dancing, swimming and rhythmic
gymnastics. In addition to this, the
normal students take turns in teach
ing their classmates.
The thoroughness of this instruction
is the result of the constant demand
for competent teachers in girls
schools The training schools make
it a part of their business to find
places for their graduates, or at least
to bring possible openings to their at,
ton.
Reference has been made to the de-
mand for good teachers of gymnastics
| in the West. This comes not only
from girls schools, but from some of
the western cities, where there are
public gymnasiums and Fairgrounds.
These positions pay from three hun
dred to four hundred dollars a year if
living is furnished, eight or nine hun
dred if not.
Teachers of gymnastics in the public
schools usually receive about one
thousand dollars a year.
! Most women teachers of physical
culture add something to their income
by organizing private classes, both
among children and among adults.
| Women's clubs and mothers clubs are
always ready to assist competent
young women in organizing such
classes, which may meet either in the
daytime or in the evening. The rate
for instruction in classes is usually
twenty-five cents a lesson for children
and from fifty cents to a dollar for
adults.
A girl of good manners and address
who fits herself thoroughly to teach
| gymnastics and physical culture may
not only feel reasonably sure of earn
ing a comfortable living; she will also
feel throughout her whole life the
good results of her training in anat-
omy, physiology and hygiene, and Of
| her constant exercise.
Good health and the consciousness
that one is helping others to enjoy it
also are pleasant perquisites in any
cupation-Youth's Companion.

Bachelor British Officers.

An interesting discussion is going
on in the Indian press on the subject
Of the growing disinclination of young
officers to undertake the responsible
ties of matrimony, and the controversy
has raised the question as to whether
the married or the bachelor officer is
the better. On one side it is urged
that young married man is keener,
steadier and more reliable than his
less fortunate unmarried comrades,
yet many commanding officers have
g strong objection to their subalterns
marrying, their contention being that
it detracts from the efficiency of a
regiment if many junior officers are
married.
The commander in chief in India is
one of those who object to young of.
ficers marrying, and in accordance
with this principle his two aides-de-
camp who are about to enter the
welded state will be obliged to leave
his service The married officer does
not support the mess, but his ex-
penses in other ways are about three
times as much as when he was
single. The item for clothes for
himself and wife is, it is urged, more
than three times as large as when he
had only to provide for himself. Court

United States STAMPS.

The government of the United States
has decided to give up printing its post
age stamps. The Bureau of Engraving
and Printing in Washington has done
the work since 1894 at loss which has
amounted to considerable each year
and has been made up by deficiency APP
preparations by congress- The Ameri-
can Bank Note Company has now Sc
cured the contract, and its work will
be done in the same manner as that
which this company turned out before
1894. The main feature of the new
printing will be the engraving upon
the stamps themselves of the names
of twenty-siX postOffices in the United
States which do the largest business.
There are six thousand smaller offices,
and the stamps of these will have their
names printed upon them. This Is
done IN order to prevent postoffice rob-
berries, as it will be impossible to dis
pose of any large number of stamps
with the name of the Office printed up
on them after a robbery has been COM
mitted. An interesting field for COL
lection is opened by this action on the
part of our government. The attempt
to gather a collection of stamps issued
from every different postoffice in a
state or in the United States may be
made, and in many cases will undoubt-
eddy be successfully accomplished.
This form of stamp collecting will
naturally take the place of postmark
collecting, and in many ways is likely
to be more interesting and Instructive.

general collection of the stamps of

The Banana Appetite.

1t is not many years since the United
States imported practically all of it's
supply of oranges, raisins, loves and
prunes. Now we produce the greater
part of our supply. In view of the
ever-increasing American demand for
the succulent and wholesome banana,
we suggest that the Department of
Agriculture find some way of develop
ing a hardy banana plant for cultivat-
ton in this country.
Our national banana bill for the cal
ender year 1905 was SO ,S26, 8O6. This is
more than double the bill of ten years
ago. We paid more last year for i'm
ported bananas than we paid for i'm
ported art works. and nearly as much
as we paid for imported wines. We
paid twice as much as we did for
spices. The banana appitite is evil

Green Fodder.

At the New Jersey experiment sta
ton they have been endeavoring to
demonstrate the possibilities of feed
ing dairy cattle on green fodder, to
the exclusion of pasture. Mr.. Colling-
wood has been down to the station to
get in touch with the workings of the
experiment. The farm Is naturally
strong soil, lying nearly level he says.
There are no fences. The green fodder
is cut every day and hauled to the
cows, which spend most of their time
in the barn, being let out for exercise
in small yard. The cows: are kept for
milk production, there being besides
graded stock good specimens of Guern-
sey, Ayrshire and Holstein. The plan
of the farm is to provide, a succession
of green crops from the earliest rye tiIi-
til frost kills the latest barley or corn,
or ends the fourth cutting Of alfalfa.
In addition to this, crop Is grown
large enough to provide silage for $50
days or more, while the surplus OF al
falfa, oats and peas, COW. peas, etc, is
made into hay for feeding with the
silage. So thoroughly was this organ
lied and worked out that last year rye
feeding began on May 1, while the
fourth cutting of alfalfa lasted until
October Is. The dry weather held the
crops back, and for the two weeks be-
tween July Is and 29 corn silage was
fed, but on every other day for 1853 days
there was full supply of green forage.
To be exact, 16 acres of land were so
carefully and Systematically cropped
that they yielded in this period 1877 tons
of green fodder, or an average of over
- tons per acre: Tile average cost
of this green fodder was $1.93 per ton.
Under this system of feeding the cows
responded about as cattle do on full
pasture.

Buffalo and the Reaaars.

The Times here draws an acceptable
conclusion from faulty premises: 1T
is a sad commentary on our boosted
civilization that the poor blind and
crippled persons are not cared for in
institutions supported by charity, but
must needs beg money on the streets
to support themselves and their fam
lilies. There should be no beggars in
our streets" These men are not oblig-
ed to beg They could go into public
institutions, and the public would pre-
fer to have them there. They prefer to
beg because thereby they make more
money and have more liberty. More
over, some of them are bringing up
their families to beggary Charles
Lamb made a plea for street beggars,
especially deformities and monstrosi-
ties, on the ground that the sight Of
their misery inspired the commendable
virtues of charity and contentment in
their fellows On the other hand. it
may be said that unpleasant sights
should not be forced on the public I'M
necessarily. So the Express agrees
with the Times that there should be
no beggars in our streets. Buffalo

Cupid was in distress for while at
Edgerly, and it looked as if not only
would one wedding have to be post
poned, but the plans of two couples
would be seriously disturbed. And
had it not been for the chivalric spirit
of Wellington d. Landry, deputy clerk
of the court here, it is more than likely
that this would have been so.
On September IL, at seven o'clock,
T. J. Perkins and Miss Bessie May
Kimbrell were united in marriage at
DeQuincey. It. was planned that they
should go to Edgerly yesterday morn
ing to attend the wedding at that
place yesterday evening of W. M.
Perkins, Jr., to Miss Iva Carter, which
was to occur at four o'clock in the
afternoon. Both couples were then to
take the train for Martin, Texas, and
other western points, leaving at five
o'clock.
All went well until early yesterday
afternoon, when it was discovered
that the marriage license for the lat
ter wedding had been lost or mislaid
in some manner. A thorough search
was made for it, but it could not be
found. Cupid was in distress until
the happy thought arrived to telephone
to Lake Charles for duplicate.
Mr.. Landry received the message at
3.15.s The train for Edgerly, which, by
the way, was the same train the two
couples wanted to take to Texas, was
due to arrive here at 4.03 Mr.. Landry
had just forty-fve minutes in which
to issue the duplicate license and
catch the train.
When the train rolled into Edgerly,
Mr.. Landry saw the wedding party all
assembled at the depot, and immedi-
ately thought the lost license had
been found, and everything taken
place. according to program. But this
was not the case.
The matter was hastily explained to
the conductor, and that gallant gen
tleman consented to hold the train
while the ceremony was performed at
the depot This was done. and as
the train rolled westward it carried
two happy couples on their honey
moon trip, all the happier because
what looked like an insurmountable
delay had been vercome.-Lake
