Lime for Sour Soils,

Lime Is the hest corrector of sour
soils. 1f you had a plat that con.
tained or produced a crop Of sorrel
last year you may rest assured that It
is sour and crops will not make prof.
table growth thereon until the sour
ness is overcome. Usually an appli.
cation Of from one to three tons per
acre Will be ample in the average
cases. BESIDES correcting acidity. the
lime will liberate much Of the unsol.
uble plant food. thus increasing the
productiveness OF the soil.

knows It Is her spirit more than her
strength that produces her assent Ia

"And-how many years will it take?''
she asked, and she noticed how still
her own voice was, how her heart that

She could almost have sworn that the
gray eyes watching her grew dim. She
realized that the figure by the window
seemed to be rigid in its stiffness.

The great doctors voice trembled.
She was SO very pretty-so very

think of her clothes at such moment,

again. "It's nonsense to be nervous, -
she told herself. Il shall try to read
and forget"
She resolutely took up a magazine
and read page slowly and carefully,
then read it over again with equal
care, but she found herself spelling
each word in turn, and the sense of
the phrases did not penetrate into her
brain.
Nobody can take in the meaning of
a story, she thought, when people
whisper, and her glance fell upon a
stout widow who sat opposite whisper
ing in the ear of a girl beside her.
The little lady watched the widows
head bob up and down as her words
became more and more emphatic. She
noticed how dusty the Grape was upon
her veil. and that's the worst of
Grape" she said to herself. 1.-THE least
thing makes it look shabby. always
tell Robert l won't wear Grape when
I'm widow"
A smile flickered over her face, and
the shabby woman in the corner,
watching her, thought enviously how
happy she must be to smile like that
at nothing. Half an hour now!
Half an hour for two clever doctors
to discuss one tiny lump which looked
like almost nothing! How she and
Robert would laugh presently over the
slowness of these medical men! But
if they kept her much longer she would
be late for lunch, and then Robert
would be in furry and wonder what
had become of her.
Oh, why We're they not quicker?
Time dragged woefully. There was
something aggravating about that tire
some clock on the mantelpiece with it's
persistent voice, and the pair Of can
dlesticks exactly alike that fanked it
and the two vases that were such a
precise match annoyed her. A wild
desire seized her to set them all
crooked!
Then she was tired of looking at that
hideous silver creation on the side
board. She was certain it must be q
testimonial! And what an ugly one to
be saddled with for the rest of ones
natural life! She remembered with
what dismay she and Robert had re-
ceived some CHASTITY old family plate
from rich uncle and how thankfully
they had relegated it to little used
room, Robert saying laughingly that it
would come in as an heirloom for their
grandchildren!
A vision Of herself as white haired
old lady made her smile again. She al
ways intended to grow old gracefully

er the Judge would presently put on
the black cap or not. All. well. 1t must
be terrible to be In such position.
She was only waiting-waiting for
what?
A sudden recollection crossed her
mind of the great doctors quiet, re-
strained voice that had held in some
thing which she had at the moment
not quite understood. It flashed upon
her now all at once that it was pity.
But why pity?
Her heart gave a frightened leap.
She picked up an Illustrated paper
from the table before her and began
hurriedly turning the pages, seeing alb.
solutely nothing. "And his face looked
80 kind -so-sorry." Her thoughts
ran on till her heart quickened its beat

Grant and RELIGION.

Grants respect for religion was
quite consistent with his high moral
attributes. 1t has been most truly said
OF him that he was never profane or
vulgar. His friends and intimates can
bear ample testimony to this commend
able part of his private character. He
had promised his mother never to ut
ter an oath and had faithfully kept his
word. He could be emphatic enough in
his conversation. his orders and his
writing to make oaths of any kind en-
tirely unnecessary. No one who knew
the man would venture a questionable
story In his presence. On one occasion
after dinner guest in venturing an
anecdote asked in a furtive way if any
ladies were within hearing. The gen.
eral, then president Of the United
States, simply replied. mo, but there
are some gentlemen present." and
showed his readiness to leave the
room.-Dr. Shrady in Century.

He nodded.
He won the game, and the pair made
one of the happiest unions known in
