ASHES AS A FERTILIZER.

An average sample of unleached
wood ashes containing about seven
per cent. of potash and two per cent.
OF phosphoric acid, which at current
retail prices of these plant foods,
makes average wood ashes worth
about 50 ton.
Besides the actual fertilizing value,
by reason of the potash and phos-
phoric acid contained in the ashes,
there is some value to ashes. Sim
ply from the power which potash has
to make the nitrogen of the soil avail
able for plants by it's chemical action
on the organic matter and aumus in
the soil. The potash in ashes exists
in readily soluble form, and is
thus Immediately available for plant
food. Ashes also contains a little
magnesia and considerable amount
OF carbonate of lime, which is Of
some importance because of it's eff
feet in improving the texture of heavy
soils. The farmer can better afford
to pay IS to $40 ton for good wood
ashes than the usual rates for almost
any potash fertilizer.
Leached ashes have rarely more
than one per cent. of potash, and
one-half per cent. of phosphoric acid,
which will make them worth from
81 to 81 ton. Coal ashes are prob
ably not worth fifty cents per ton as a
fertilizer, but on heavy soils they
may often be applied with profit, just
for their loosening effect, and they
are valuable as a top dressing or
mulch in gardens M. w. s., in

Sums.

Sums, regarded as a necessity, are
raised in all large cities and cultivat-
ed by the whole people.
AS rule, they require but little
care, being extremely hardy, and hav-
ing once taken root, spread rapidly.
Slums are useful in many ways.
They furnish material for writer's on
political economy, enabling them to
support themselves comfortably
Slums also help religion and furnish
a never ending Source of amusement
for philanthropists. They are indis-
pensable for settlement workers.
They are also invaluable for ply
sicians and surgeons, supplying these
specialists with diseases. They are
also source of happiness for the
well-to-do, as the distant contempla-
ton of them affords the necessary
contrast to the most complete enjoy
ment Without them there would
scarcely be any real melodrama.
Several times foolish people have
tried to get rid of them, not realiz-
ing, that. although very expensive,
they are indispensable. Without them
we would have no sense Of duty or
civic pride.-Life.

TEACHING TIE ADULTS.
A University Of the People Based Up
on the Lecture System.


Children are not the only pupils Of
the Board of Education For twenty
years it has been teaching adults
also. Its particular form Of instruc-
ton for the older folks consists Of
interesting lectures on innumerable
subjects. And New York enjoys the
distinction of being the first city Ia
the world to incorporate adult edu-
cation as an integral part of its ed
vocational system.
Great interest is taken in these lee
lures. During the period commenc-
ing Oct. /, 1907, and closing May q,
1908, there were delivered in IT'S CEN
tres throughout the greater city lee
lures on 1,641 different subjects, be-
fore 5,572 audiences, by staff of 663
lecturers, at which the total attend
ance was 1,208,S 1896. an average Of 217
for each lecture given. The cost Of
maintaining this system is S135,000
yearly.
In the opinion Of DR.. Henry NJ.
Leipziger, Supervisor Of Lectures
this system represents a university
for the people" Discussing the work
in this light in his last report, DR..
Leipzlger, said
"Wee see this system of adult educa-
ton extended all over our broad land.
We have exchanges of professors
with European universities, we have
regulated interstate commerce, why
may we not have an interstate circu-
lating university? Why not have body
of National educators, who shall spread
their intellectual treasures all over
the land? 1t is perfectly practicable.
A staff Of the best teachers, trained
to pubs speaking, could WELD
great influence on the formation of
even a better and loftier National

work most of the time. All the ta-
bles available were used. for puzzles,
and the most careless steward learned
not to dust tables on which lay untin-
ished puzzles.
These jig-sawed puzzles were in
vented by New England girl some
time before Christmas. She cut out
the tiny blocks with a Jig saw, and
that gave the name to the original
puzzles. First the block of wood
was painted exactly after famous
picture, but to make the game more
difficult no copy Of the picture is sold
with the puzzle.
At once Boston took up the pas
time and made it the fashionable in
door sport of New England. AS soon,
as summer began the resorts from
Bar Harbor to Atlantic Beach caught
the enthusiasm. BY this time four
firms were making this girls jig-saw
puzzles in an eighth of the time and
therefore sold them at much small
er price.
BY August the thing was in full
swing, and even the ocean liners had
to buy them by the dozens to satisfy
the demand Outgoing and incoming
passengers carried jig-saw puzzle in
every grip.
Those who have been bitten by the
madness have gone in for making
their own puzzles. Clever men and
women have bought jig saws and are
turning out these puzzles slowly for
the amusement of their own crowd.
1t is said this part of the game is as
fascinating as the matching Of the
pieces, but there are not many who
can do it.
The shops are delighted with this
sudden and spreading craze for the
puzzles, for they sell them at excel
lent prices-anywhere from fifty
cents to SO.
Among the most popular pictures
that are being matched together by
pieces of wood are "The Field Off

THE J1G-sAW PUZZLE.

A girl who doesn't spend half her
playtime in matching jig-saw puzzles
is certainly out of touch with the
times. There are few fashions in
games which have taken such a grip
apon the public.
You all know about it, of course?
1t is an elaboration of the old-fash-
toned puzzle blocks of childhood
days. The matching Of them is as
hard to the grown-up girl as the sim
pie little blocks were to her baby in
tellect.
Instead of being cut in squares and
easy angles they are cut out by jig
saw into tiny pieces that take on
every curve known to geometry.
Everywhere you go, to a dinner,
for an afternoon in the country, to a
hotel, on steamer, it matters not
where, if you don't play puzzles you
are behind the times and you are
quickly counted out.
1t makes little difference how we'll
you may talk or sing, play the piano
or dance. You are not wanted for
those amusements. The rest of the
world is matching blocks, and you
must either do it or sit alone.
How any one can help doing it is a
question. 1t is the most fascinating,
Irritating, time-compelling pastime Of
the day. At summer hotels you could
see little tables all around the Sc
Guided corners over which were bent
the heads of five or six people, or the
tables, when deserted, bore the pla-
card in capital letters, underscored:

None there were so unkind or so
curious who would blow breath on
these little blocks of wood or jar the
table by as much as a finger touch.
They knew the secret. That puzzle
was not. finished.
