Charcoal a. q Fertilizer,

Charcoal has but little plant food,
yet 1t usually shows results. It gives
light soils q darker color, thus making
them warmer. It also makes soils
porous and increases their power to
hold water. Charcoal is a fine alb
sorbent for gases. When worked into
the soil it will no doubt prevent the
escape Of some Of the ammonia formed
when organic substances decay. For
these and other reasons charcoal will
help. especially on light soils.-Rural

A HOT NIGHT.

It is generally admitted that last
night was the hottest of the season, and
it was long after the hours when grave
yards are said to yawn before a large
majority fell asleep. Their slumbers
were brief, and in many cases where a
few winks were obtained the fortunate
ones awoke as victims OF a Turkish
bath. Many dreaded entering hot
bed rooms and sat on doorsteps and
pavements until a late hour. Eolus
was invoked, but there was absolutely
no breezes or even gentle zephyrs to
bring the slightest relief. The trees
were as motionless as those in pictures.
Hence many resumed their labors this
morning unrefreshed by exhausted
natures sweet reStorer.

ENDEAvORING TO AVERT STRIKE

The controversy between the train
men Of the southeastern railways and
their employers, was at an acute stage
last night. The affair is still in the
hands of Chairman Martin A. Knapp,
OF the interstate commerce commission,
and DR.. Charles P. Neil, commissioner
of labor, who are acting as medlatorS
under the provisions Of the Erdman act.
The delegates of the labor organiza-
tons, who represent 10000 men, and
who are now in Washington, have been
empowered to call general strike If
the demands of the trainmen for higher
pay and better labor conditions be not
complied with. 1t is generally under
stood that the delegates will take no
such radical action until the mcdiators
have acknowledged their inability to
bring about peaceful solution. While
both sides are reticent, it is said that
chances for settlement had brighten
ed considerably after the conferences
Yesterday between the mcdiators and
representatives OF the trainmen.
