No Plant Food in Salt.
By Charles Petty.

Salt is not a fertilizer. The elements
entering into it do not enter into any
foods. The sowing of salt has always
been considered a sign of b]arrenness
and des olation. If freely applied il
will kill plants. Nc experiments have
ever shown that increased yield had
been brought about by the use of salt.
1t is said that If it is mixed with a pile
of lot and stall II and worked
that as a fact. W. suppose the expert,
ment stations have tested the property
of salt IS a fertilizer. If they have, no
favorable reports have been made. Ii
q ton of salt was thoroughly mixed
with five tons Of lot n it would
do hahn and lerhaps, no good.

One of the most important things
that a man owes to his family is cheer
fitness. He should cast all trouble
away when lie comes to his home. He
is a selfish being who, having trouble
in his trade or calling or profession,
always bring his trouble home for the
purpose of making every II else
miserable. There is no bravery or
manliness in that kind of a thing, no
thoughtlulness for others, happiness,
no trust in God that all will be for the
best.

The virtues grow about the home.
They cluster, bloom and shed their
perfume around the fireside. Love,
husband, wife, father, mother, child
and home-without these words the
world would be a barren wilderness,
and men and women but british beasts.
The home is the nursery for the vir-
tues.

One That Descended Upon a Mountain
In Scotland.

One That Descended Upon a Mountain
In Scotland.
What a real cloudburst is like Is de-
scribed by Scotland correspondent of
Country Life: "a cloudburst of ex-
ceptional size descended on the Cairn-
germ mountains, and an old watcher,
who has his hut almost exactly where
the cloud burst, gives the following de
tails: On July 10, 1901, the morning
opened brilliantly fine and warm, with
a cloudless sky and brilliant sunshine.
but toward noon heavy clouds formed
on the hills, and 1t rapidly became so
dark that 1t was almost impossible to
read. He was standing in the door of
his hut, when suddenly he heard from
the hill across the glen a report like
thunderclap, followed by noise like
the tearing of linen, only thousand
times louder and more majestic In
sound. Then he noticed that solid
mass of water had struck the hilltop,
and part of it, bounding up again with
the force of the impact, had descended
on tf9 hilltop Immediately behind his
hut. Immediately afterward a ire
mendous volume of water came pour
ing down both hillsides, forming great
riffs in the hills as it swirled, irresisti-
BILE In its course, down rocks and
stones. The channel the flood scooped
out was in places quite twelve feet
deep, and large rocks were tossed down
it's course as If they had been pebbles.
The sand and stones brought down by
the water so damned up the river Dee
that quite an extensive lodh was
formed. During the time of the cloud
burst the weather mile or two up the
glen remained fine, but to the south
the clouds were black rs night"

Kidney complaint annoyed me off and
on for number of years, the most
annoying symtom being a sharp pain
directly over my kidneys, at times,
so severe that l was unable to arise from
a chair without assistance. My kid
neys became so weak that there was
a constant desire to void the secretions
and the passages were very scanty. 1

And, laughing a little I'm slightly
bantering Tone his hands in his peck
cts, Rouletabille fixed his cunning eyes
on the great Fred.
Frederic Larsan silently contemplate
ed the young reporter who pretended
to be as wise as himself. Struggling
his shoulders, he bowed to us and
moved quickly away, hitting the stones
on his path with his stout cane.
Rouletabille watched his retreat and
then turned toward us, his face joyous
and triumphant.
81 shall beat him. he cried. 81 shall
beat the great Fred, clever as he is!
shall beat them allv'
And he danced double shuttle.
Suddenly he stopped. My eyes follow
ed his gaze. They were fixed on M.
Robert Darzac, who was looking anx.
iously at the impression left by his
feet side by side with the elegant
footmarks. There was not a particle
Of difference between them!
We thought he was about to faint.
His eyes, bullying with terror, avoided
us, while his right hand, with spas
mOdic movement, twitched at the
beard that covered his honest, gentle
and now despairing face. At length
regaining his self possession, he bowed
to us and, remarking In changed
voice that he was obliged to return to
the chateau, left rs.
''The deucew exclaimed Rouletabille.
He also appeared to be deeply con-
cerned. From his pocketbook he took
piece of white paper, as had seen
him do before, and with his scissors
cut out the shape of the neat boot
marks that were on the ground. Then
he fitted the new paper pattern with
the one he had previously made. The
two were exactly alike Rising, Roule
tabille exclaimed suddenly, ''The
deucew Presently he added, "Yet
believe NJ. Robert Darzac to be an hon.
est man." He then led me on the road
to the Donjon inn, which we could
see on the highway by the side Of a
small clump Of trees.

TRAVELLING IN CHINA

When you leave the train at Nankon,
twenty-seVen miles from Pekng, and
made your way toward the Great Wall
of China. says a writer in the December
Wide world Magazine, you proceed
along a dusty road in summer and a
sea Of mud during the rains.f The jour
ney is undertaken on donkcys, or I'm
chairs carried by coolies. In the middle
Of the Nankon pass there is a Chinese
inn where the caravans halt. The man
ager offers travellers accommodations
according to the Chinese custom, but
European beds are placed on the dais
in the compartments, and it is even
possible to procure bottle OF cham
9ague or a glass of beer before one re
tires. In fact, i'm many ways the enter
prising host has an eye for business. He
has learned how TO mix "A cocktail and
travellers can procure baths These
Chinese inns are found beyond the wall
on the road to Kalgau, where the rail
way will run in the near future. As
one gets farther inland. European COM
forts and ideas of civilization depart
but it is possible almost anywhere
along the main road TO purchase soda
water The inns are invariably built i'm
the form of square. At one side dis
tinguished travellers and Europeans
stop, and opposite the coolies and serv-
ants live. The chairs, carts and wheel
barrows arc always placed in the quad
rangle.
