Potash For Sale to All.

Farmers who farm on business principles
and fertilize their. soils as a manufacturer
puts money into a plant-for investment
have never needed much argument to be
convinced that potash Pays" as the Ger
man Kali Works puts it. The trouble for
the farmer has been not only the price, but
the difficulty of getting Potash at any
price The manufacturers have heretofore
absorbed it IL.
All this has been changed, and thousands
of farmers who farm for profit rather than
for mere wages and living, will now be
able to buy all the Potash Salts they need,
in any quantity they want it, of local deal
ers el erywhere. And not only this-but
they can get it at lower rates than have
ever before been charged.
. This means that farmers can now invest
in plant foods that they themselves can buy
and mix-fertilizers without filters or make
weights-and put the money saved from in.
terest, freight, excessive profits on filters
and mixing charges into so much more
actual crop-making fertilizer.
The gre German potash mines are now
producing enough potash to enable the
American selling agency to guarantee deliv-
manufacturers and by local dealers and
farmers. Ask your dealer to carry these in
valuable salts in stock Tell him to write
to the German Kali Works, Continental
Building, Baltimore, for particulars and
prices. And we recommend you to write
to them also, for their Farmers Note
Book" and their valuable literature on fer
tilizing and cultivation. Mention what
crops you are most interested in. 1t will
pay you to do it. And see your dealer the
next time YOU are in town.

Make Religion a Reality.

Real religion must either be out
for business or go out Of business.
It must either make the world better,
be doing things for the ideals which
it sees, or acknowledge that it is moth
ing but dream or delusion. Now
when one is in the thick of as big an
undertaking as religion sets before
him, nothing less than the redemption
of the whole world, he has no energy
left to wonder whether he is as good
as he ought to be.
The sickly saints are always worry
ing over their souls; their spiritual
livers are always out of order be-
cause they are perpetually examining
them. They complain and groan SO
much that the ignorant, hearing
them, imagine religion to be mourn
full affair. The pious hypochrondriacs
are so near to hypocrites that they
have the same effect on others.

Stole House and Furnishings.

Not satisfied with carrying off the
furniture and other contents, thieves,
it is alleged, stole the dwelling of J.
C. Golden and actually hauled it
away Golden lives near Auburn.
He had been away for several days,
and upon returning home to-day
rubbed his eyes to see if his sight
was playing him trick-his house
had disappeared, and with it his
household goods and personal be-
longings. His home was not pre-
tentious affair, but neither was it so
small that it could be carried off east
~. Golden came to town and asked
the sheriff to help him find his house.

Bach's Piano.

The Museum of Munich has just

grand piano of J. S. Bach, of which
the original figures in the collection
of ancient instruments at Berlin. The
piano of Bach, which had been built
according to his directions for lis per-
sonal use, is yeritable masterpiece
of keyboard technique. 1t is piano
with a double keyboard, in which
there is for each touch four strings,
which can, at the will of the exc
cutant, play or be silent, as in the Or
gan. The replica Of the Munich
Museum reproduces faithfully the
sonorous effects Of the original, and
it is to be regretted that it had not
been placed where the public could
hear Bach's music just as he played

a Good MANAGER.

Homer S. Taylor, president of the
National Archery Association, said at
an archer's dinner in Chicago:
AN archer must be very skillful
and calm and cool to succeed. He
must handle his bow as Mrs. Porarck,
of Michigan Avenue, handles her
husband.
Mr.. Porarck came home very late
the other night from an important
political meeting. In the hall ne
kicked up rather a row, growing and
swearing to himself till his wife call,

What's the matter, my dear?'
'Matter-hic-is. Mr.. Porarck

GERMAN KALI WORKS, Continental Bldg, Baltimore
Underestimate His Ability,

H. w. Klaussman, chairman of the
Republican city committee, tells a
story about bass drummer of band
that he swears is true. The drum
mer was a German. He, with the
other members of the band, was on
an excursion train, and the tickets
they had were about four feet long
(that is, four feet of ticket per man,
100 feet for the whole 40-piece band.)
Soon after Hans was seated comfort
ably the conductor came by for the
tickets Hans reached for his. Hor-
rors. it was gone. He grew excited
and searched and spluttered, but all
in vain. He declared he had lost the
ticket.
"Why," ventured the conductor,
you couldn't have lost that ticket.

COUNTERFEIT FURS.
Muskrat Skins From Canada Largely
Used as Substitutes.

Used as Substitutes.
For a number of years Canada has
been exporting to the United States
about $1,4OO,000 worth of furs an
nually, or about half the Dominion's
output, the remainder going mainly
to Great Britain, Consul M. r. Sack
EFT, of Prescott, writes:
shipments of raw furs from this
district for the season 19GS-9 were
over 100 per cent. in excess of the
previous season. The prices paid to
the individual trapper were the high
est for years, dealers stating that the
keen market was due to the strength
of the European demand. For
prime red fox pelt the trapper real
lied the record price Of Sc, or even
more-about double the rate paid
last year. The advance in mink was
not SO marked. Fashion demands
longer, bushier fur, such as the fox,
lynx and better grades of skunk, the
last named being largely used by the
expert furrier in the manufacture of
fluffy articles of wear, but which
would hardly sell at the prices asked
if called by the right name. Mink
was again the fur Of greatest value
shipped; it's hold in the market is due
to it's intrinsic beauty and durability.
The best of the cheap furS is musk
rat, and for this there was a sharp
demand during the last season at
greatly advanced prices. The best
of these pelts are secured in early
spring, while the best mink fur is
obtained in early winter. Mink
caught late is too faded to command
the best price.
"Muskrat fur is generally worn
here by those who are we'll dressed,
but cannot afford the higher grades
of fur garments. It is used 70" ladies'
coats, muffs and neck pieces, and IN
great quantities as Innings for over
coats for men. A coat lined with the
best grade Of muskrat, properly made
and fitted, is far from being a cheap
garment, even in Canada, and is worn
by well dressed men who can afford
the best in the market. Muskrat is
largely used as a counterfeit for other
fur, even the costly seal being SO
closely initiated as to deceive con-
noisseurs."

A Prodigy's Poetry,

The 10-year-old daughter of al

to fill a great place in literature, and
all her spare moments are devoted
to writing poetry about every conceiv-

her first church wedding and so fill
ed with inspiration was she that she
imm ediately began to write a poem
descriptive of the event. A few days
afterward, when her mother was en-

prodigy asked permission to read her
poem before the guests. Her moth

In cutting only is it held in the

Food eaten from the spoon is al

1t is needless to say that knife is

ETHICS OF FILTRATION.

Mrs. Charlotte Gilman is not likely
to win much popular sympathy for
her views on the engrossing subject
of Irritation. She says, point blank,
"The woman who flirts is doing a
fendish work." and inveighs against
her sex as Enthusiastically deceit
full. Sac seems to overlook the fact
that innocent coquetry has little in
common with the instinct that leads
man and woman to equivocate or
prevaricate. 1t has much more in
common with the instinct of curios-
ity.
