Lord salisbury's Mistake.

Butler of the British army recalls
an incident in the life OF Lord Sails.
bury which in measure reflects Of
fetal opinion on the failure of Gen.
Butler in his brief career as com
mander of the British troops in the
South African war.
The marquis of Salisbury, in the last
years of his life, was almost blind and
deaf. One day his secretary present
ed him with package just arrived
from buckingham palace; 1t contained
large photograph of the king in uni
form, with an affectionate autograph
dedication for the old premier.
Lord Salisbury looked at the picture
in silence for some minutes, and then,
dropping It on the desk before him, he
muttered: Poor Butler! poor Buller!"
In spite of his failure, however, Gen.
Butler, until the day of his death, was
the idol of the rank and file.

AnesthetIcs Long Known.

Lecturing before the Association Of
Surgeons of Munich on narcotics, Prof.
Klein said that the process of reduc.
ing the sensibilites of patients with
a view to making operations painless
was known and practiced In the
middle ages. Bishop Theodorus Of
Chervira wrote prescription for a
pain destroyer in the twelfth century
which contained opium morphine and
hyoscine. A medical work printed in
1460 contains the first known treatise
on inhalation, and men now inject
under the skin the soothing mixture
which in 1850 was inhaled.

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall Top
Dressing and Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to
top dressing and seeding down.
We wish to call the attention Of the
farmers Of Vermont to the fact that
we can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding down grass land.
These formulas have not only been
approved by the Vermont Experiment
Station but have been used with ex-
cellent results by a great many far
mers in Vermont and have proved
thoroughly reliable. We can also fur
nish the materials for mixing fertil-
izers in accordance with these formu-
las. We should be pleased to send
the formulas together with full dir
ections for mixing, cost of materials,
etc, to any one who will write us,
