"soston's stump.n

"Boston's stump" Is the local name
of the tower of the parish church Of
st. Botolph, in Boston, England,
which was damaged by lightning, not
long ago. The church dates from
the fourteenth century, and its tow
er, 272 feet high, is the tallest but
one among the parish churches of
England. 1t has 965 steps, one for
each day of the year, and the church
has seven doors, ffty-two windows
and twelve pillars, for the days in
the week and the weeks and months
in the year. For the twentyfour
hours in the day there are twenty
four steps in the porch by which the
library is reached. Two flights of
sixty steps lead to the roof, one for
the seconds, the other for the min
utes; and the tower is in four stories
for the four seasons. Thus does
time stand still in Boston, Spring
field Republican.

MANURAL CROPS.

Many suggestions have been made
in favor of renovating land at small
cost by blowing under green crops.
OF the crops recommended may be
mentioned clover, COW peas, sofa
beans, rye and even corn and millet.
There is another crop, however, which
has been somewhat overlooked, and
which can be grown on almost any
soil, and that is turnips. The turnip
crop may be seeded early for that
purpose, or need not be planted until
July or even August, and it grows
rapidly, being off the land in a short
time. On medium lands from thirty
to forty tons can be grown, and the
tops are more valuable for turning
under than are the bulbs. English
farmers grow turnips, allow sheep to
feed on them, and then turn them
under as a manural crop. Turnips
may be broadcasted on well-prepared
lands, using plenty of seed, and they
will soon cover the ground. Crops
are grown in this way in our southern
States, and the cost is but little, as
they require mo cultivation when the
seed is broadcasted.-Ep itomist.

Wages in Samoa.

A memorandum drawn up by the
German Colonial Office and attached
to the estimates for the information
of the members of the Reichstag, con-
tains statement of the present con-
dition of the labor question in Samoa,
in which it was stated that the white
population was formerly entirely de-
pendent upon Samoan workmen,
while now the major part Of the
work at most of the plantations is
done by Chinese imported for this
labor. Each Chinese laborer receives
in wages s2.S6 a month. The total
cost of each to the employer, the re-
port states, including wages, main
tenance, passage money and medical
treatment, is calculated at from 1898
to S11.9O per INDIVIDUALLY Consular
Reports.

ALMOST A SHADOW
Gained 20 lbs. ON Grape-N Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween a food which merely tastes
good and one which builds up
strength and good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much
we eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the, system until 1t
is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
II had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as / then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
II lost flesh until was almost

truly begun anew for me.

Whereas year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring l have been able to do it my
self all alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and piece Of

be OF the tripod style-having a
broad base for the main part and
supported by one leg.
A three-legged step-ladder will
stand firmly on uneven ground and
is quickly set, while the ordinary
step-ladder of that height is dan
gerous to use in orchard work. For
very tall trees, long, single ladders
may be necessary.
Most orchard pruning is done in
late winter and early spring because
that is the most convenient season.

STARTING THE OUNCE RIGHT.


The ounce is fruit decidedly ma
tional as to location and soil. For
best results, a deep, rich loan has
been found favorable, in a location
containing plenty of moisture yet not
in soil at all sour or stagnant.
To get fine, large fruit plenty of
plant food must be ever at hand for
the growing rootlets. Ounces, in
particular, delight in sending out
their feeding roots only little below
the surface so in cultivation, remem-
Der the plow or cultivator teeth
should not be run deep and close to
the trees. Some years may be re-
CURED to overcome a vigorous root
pruning caused by too close cultiva-

rotted, rich, fine manure should be
spread evenly under the tree as far
as the branches extend Fork this in

with some coarse material, or stir
the soil once week or so with hoe.

UNIQUE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK.

Rem.rknble Mechanism Shows ALI
the Movements Of the Earth.
All the movements Of the earth are
represented by remarkable astronom-
ical clock which yesterday was placed
on public view at the American Muse
um Of Natural History, says the New
York Herald. 1t was designed by DIR.
Herman G. Bumpus, the director Of
the institution, and is the result OF
months of patient experiment.
1t not only shows the daily rotation
Of the earth upon Its axis, but the mo-
ton about the sun, and also demon
strates through all the year the changes
which cause the march Of the seasons.
The earth is globe Of paper COM
position four feet in diameter, while
the sun Is a stereopticon placed at
distance Of ten feet. The light from
the stereopticon shines upon the sphere
in such manner rs to illuminate half
of it at time. The shadow OF wire
which is back Of the lens corresponds
to the meridian Of New York.
The earth is caused to revOlve BY
means of shaft which derives Its
power from small Howard steeple
clock. This shaft passes through a
wooden tunnel and communicates Its
power to bevel gears, which cause the
sphere to be always changing its poise.
BY watching the meridian shadow
the observer can always tell the time
of day with mathematical accuracy.
| No device Of it's kind has ever been
| exhibited in q museum for the instruc-
ton Of the public, and this astronom-
ical clock rivals in it's accuracy and in
the painstaking way in which it is con-
structed the most delicate instruments
to be seen in well-equipped observa-
tories. The cOntrivance was construct
ed by W. H. Beers an expert mechan.
ician connected with the museum.
1t was the original intention to have
merely a globe showing the one motion
Of the earth, but as the scheme devel-
oped through experiments the present
elaborate clock was gradually per
fected.
On the ground floor Of the museum is
another device showing the revolution
of the earth about the sun on larger
scale. The orbit swings through the
entrance hall and over the information
bureau and into the hall Of forestry
while in the center Of the foyer the sur
shines for all.
