SunpIx of Nitrate.

1t is claimed that at the present rate
of use the known supply of nitrate or
soda will be exhausted in less than so
wears. while as a matter of fact the
consumption is increasing steadily and
rapidly 1t is therefore safe to say that
before 20 years have passed the sup
ply will be- low, unless new fields are
discovered, and that the price will be
high. Over a million and half tons
were used last year. This is not en-
couraging for the young generation Of
farmers, except for the fact that we
will always have our clovers, our al
falfa, our cowpeas-the great legume
family-and properly rotated these Will
supply the soil with nitrogen from the
inexhaustible supply in the air.

Wrong Estimate of Success.

Dr. Eliot. lately president of Harv- ard university, said recently at re- ceptton in New York: My career ap- pears to strike considerable number of people as a successful one. People congratulate me on what they call my success. But my career has certainly not been successful in what is consid- cred to be the American idea of sue cess in a pecuniary way It is a sue cess in terms of service-service to the community. Now, does not this refute the common opinion that the American estimate of success is a pc cuniary one?" Dr. Eliot then related an incident in one of his travels by boat when the vessels officers came to him and said We officers want to ask you a question. We know you are a smart man. We want to know why, being a smart man, you are not rich?" Dr. Eliot did not repeat his reply, but concluded his remarks on the subject by saying: ''The real American esti- mate of success in the world is serv- iceableness and not wealth"

SPOILED A G1OD IMPRESSION.
Final Act of Inmate of Asylum Gave Visitor Good Ground for Doubling
 His Sanity.

Lew Dockstader tells in the Satur- day Evening Post of a friend of his who visited an insane asylum and came across an inmate who was walk ing in the corridor. His friend en- gagged the inmate in conversation and discovered hiln to be most intelligent person, posted on all the topics of the day, with rational ideas about every thing and no signs of insanity.
 You do not seem insane said the visitor
 Certainly not" replied the inmate. 'i am perfectly sane. T am here be- cause of a plot against me by some enemies. If I could get word to my sis ters and brothers I would be liberated at once. Also, I would like a word with my lawyer"
 To make sure, the visitor talked for half an hour with the inmate and, in the end. was convinced a gross inius- tice was being done. He said: ''I will gladly take a message to your lawyer or your brother. l am sure you are sane"
 If you will" replied the inmate, T shall be under lifelong obligation to you. I am incarcerated here for no reason. I am sane. Please say to my lawyer that you saw me here and that l want him to come at once and see me so I can take steps to regain my liberty"
 There was some more conversation and the message was arranged for and addresses given. After other protesta- tions of his sanity and assurances by the visitor that the outrage would soon be corrected, the visitor turned to go. As he was about to descend the steps he was hoisted off his feet by tremendous kick and fell into a flower bed. He turned to see the in mate grinning at him from the steps.
 Why did you do that?" shouted the visitor.

 Grabbing Mabel by the shoulder, he asked her what she meant by posing as a man. Then. like a woman, Mabel broke down and cried, and finally ad- mitted she was a woman
 For year Mabel has been a hobo and a conn on l; bCrer. She was born and reared in WaveIly. N. Y. and she says that she has worked behind the blow ever since she has been able to handle the reins
 A year ago the people with whom she lived died. she said. and left her alone in the world. She decided to go west, and as she had no money, she adopted male attire. Mabel said she worked her way and part of the time "bummed it." She told the police that she could ride the bumpers with the facility of the educated hobo.
 On her trips with hobos she got into the habit of smoking cigarettes, and now rolls them with the facility of a nan. She also learned to chew to- bacco. Six months ago she got a job in St. Louis with wrecking com pany and helped to tear down old buildings
 She worked at this for a month and then came to the East side as a dish washer and assistant cook at a grad ing camp. She then got a job at a boarding house. and in dull times used to shovel with the section hands. All of this time, she says. no one sus- pected that she was a girl.

 It is a curious feature of t:,e ahid ing, unrelenting purpose of th7se Sax ons to govern themselves al.d to be let alone that, though they were con quered in turn by Angles, Danes and Normans, they swallowed up all three
 I the end and imposed their customs tneir language, their habit of mind and their institutions upon each ot the invaders in turn. They would have nothing to do with the half-developed feudalism of Angles and Danes, ncr with the full-developed feudalism of William the Conqueror and his follow CTS. The conqueror claimed that the land was his and that every ho. der of land owed feaIty to him personally. It took about 100 years for the Saxon Idea to prevail over the feudalistic notion, and the result was magma 'harta. The magma charta Wrested rom King John by the barons was in reality the shaking of personal ale. glance to a chieftain by the Norman barons. aided by the Saxon gentry. who had finally imbued them also with their own love of independence and free government. They insisted then, and have maintained ever since, that they derived their rights. their liberties and their laws not from a king, but from themselves In the days of William the Conqueror their king was elective, though chosen from the reigning house. As late as 1889 the commons voted that King James had abdicated and that the throne was vacant! They chose their own rulers. and no doubt would do so again today if necessary. It is much too long story to go, step by step, through the recital of this development It con- cerns us here only to note these un- changing characteristics of the race, maintained and strengthened through centuries of war, tumult and conquest. -Scribner's Magazine.

Swearing to Validity of an Excuse.

Kissing the book seems to be on the point of being consigned to well-de- served oblivion, and England might easily take pattern by the form of oath that obtains in the Channel is- lands. The 12 rectors are ex-oficio members of the States of Jersey, and in common with other constituent ele- ments of the same body they may ire quently be seen with the uplifted hand swearing to the validity of the excuse that another member is absent through illness. The custom has been handed down from Norman ancestry that ever recognized the sacred final ity of putting man on his oath. and emphasizes most strikingy the par allel values of the right hand and of a mans plighted word "Poingdestre" is still Jersey surname-The Guar dian.
