Salt as a Fertilizer.

Salt has long been recognized as a
valuable fertilizing agent, especially
for use on light, sandy or WORKOUT
land. 1t is claimed that an oat crop on
such soil is more than doubled by the
use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years to OBJ
tain their Fertilizing Salt of G. S. Page
of Hyde Park, VT. The Salt he sells
is that which has been used on Hides,
Skins, etc., in his hidehouse and con-
tains more or less waste matter that
really adds to its fertilizing value
Last year the demand far exceeded the
supply and Mr.. Pages stock was ex.
hausted early in the season, so that he
was obliged to disappoint many farm.
ers who sent in their orders late. 1t is
advisable, therefore, that farmers who
intend using Pages Salt this season
should place their orders early.
The price this year is only $500 pei
ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park. The railroad
company makes, an especially low rate
on twelve ton carloads. If you will
write Mr.. Page, he will tell you the
exact rate to your station.

COIN NOTICES.
Inscriptions That Were Joy to the
Cynics and Critics

inscriptions mat Were Joy to the
Cynics and Critics.
A collection of coin notices gathered
by an Italian student, Amerigo Scar
latti, was published in Minerva. an
Italian periodical. Scarlatti is of the
opinion that such Inscriptions, though
not intended to be cynical, too often
admit Of such an Interpretation through
the Irresistible habit of the public of
Ignoring the intention of the designer
and applying the motto to the coin it.
self.
Thus when Charles H., king of the
two Sicilies, had engraved on his sill
yer ducat the Latin words "Unus non
Sufticit," meaning Zone is not enough"
all the world insisted on forgetting
that the king referred to a single scep.
ter and enthusiastically agreed With
him that Oneeducat wasn't enough for
any one.
On the contrary, a storm of ironical
opposition was aroused when Louis de
Bourbon, king of Etruria, in the early
part of the last century inscribed "Vi.
deant Pauperes ct Lactentur" on his
coins. The words mean LET the poor
see and rejoice" and Of course every
one wanted to know why a poor man
should rejoice at merely seeing piece
of money.
On the papal coinage of 1873 bearing
the arms Of Gregory XIII. are the
words eft Super Hanc Petram" (And
upon this rock. Of course the pope
and the artist who designed the coin
meant the words to refer to the papa
cy, but the evil minded applied them
so maliciously to the coin itself that
the issue was speedily stopped. A sim.
liar opportunity for evil tongues was
afforded when the Knights Of Malta
coined an issue of dollars with the sign
of their order, the Maltese cross, and
their motto, ''In Hoe Signo Militamus'
Qn this sign we combat. The ribald
affected to take it as confession that
with them money was truly the sinew
of war.
A Venetian Ira dated 1474 has the
somewhat ambiguous motto "In Tib
Solo Gloria" Go thee alone the glo
ry). A sequin coined by Cardinal Rec
gOnico in 1744 bears the words even
Lumen Cordium," or "COme, thou light
of hearts" Clement XI. issued a coir
with an image Of the Madonna, with
the legend "Causa Nostrae Laetitiae'
cause Of our joy, and a Venetian
piece with an allegorical figure of JUS
tice, with the words "Nostra in hac
elicitas" (Our happiness in this. AL
of these inscriptions were irrevently
diverted by contemporaries from theil
true object to the money itself.

Poetry Defined,

George P. Morris, the author OF
"Woodman, Spare That Tree" was a
general of the New York militia and a
favorite with all who knew him. Mrs.
Sherwood in her "reminiscences tells
how another poet associated the gener-
al with a definition of poetry.
Once Fitz-Greene Halleck, the author
of "Marco Bozzaris," called upon her in
New York in his old age, and she asked
him to define for her what was poetry
and what was prose.
He replied: when General Morris
commands his brigade and says, Sol

prose. When he says Soldiers, draw
