Ralph Waldo Emerson.
When Emerson. the great American
writer. came to England he paid a Wis

magazine. Wordsworth had just re-
turned from journey and was in his
garden writing poem on what he had
seen. The visitor found the great poet
a white haired. tall. sparely built man,
of rugged. rustic type. with nothing,
unless it were the fine eyes, to hint of
the poet.
Wordsworth made no ceremony over
the visit Of the man from a far land.
but said instantly when he was called
to greet him. IF you are interested in
my poetry perhaps you will like to
hear these lines" Emerson politely
agreed. and this is what happened.
Emerson has himself written the story
down for us. The old poet thought
for few moments, then stood forth
and repeated with great animation an
entire poem he had written.

STOVES OF IRON.
They Superseded the Roman Stuba In
the Eighteenth Century.

El1nISSIlIn century
A heating apparatus called "stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class of Romans before the be-
ginning of the Christian era. This
class of heaters was fixed and immova-
bic, besides being in several other re-
spects wholly different from the mod.
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina-
via they were used in bathrooms and
hothouseS during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of brick,
stone or tile and were of immense size.
They sometimes covered the whole
side of twenty or thirty foot room
and often extended out into the room
as much as ten feet, in which case the
smooth, fat top was used for a bed
stead, the heated surface imparting an
agreeable feeling of warmth during
those cold nights of long ago when
such things as covers were quite rare.
Cardinal Polignac of France was per-
haps the first to attempt the construc-
ton of n stove wholly of iron, this at
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century. The first real Improvement
over the old Roman "stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the wear
1745. One of his efforts produced q
typical base burner. almost perfect and
model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year 1S3O.-London

HE oLANDED MOUNTINS. -Fo

HE oLANDED MOUNTINS.- For
some time past we have been
carefully studying the newspaper
reports of crime committed in
Kentucky, and the trials of those
indicted for the same. We nave
especially been comparing the re-
cord in these particulars of what
is known as the mountains of
Kentucky with Louisville, the
Metropolis of the State. and Lex
ington, the leading city of the
Blue Grass. These two cities
probably represent the highest
culture and best educated places
of the Commonwealth. In each
of them crime is just as prevail
lent as a like population in either
the Tenth or Eleventh Congress
ional Districts, and the per cent.
of convictions, in murder cases
especially, is larger than in Louis
vile or Lexington. We have, of
course, been unable to keep tab
on all the cases in any of the sec
tons. but barring the feuds in the
mountains, which we now think
is a matter of the past, life is as
safe in the mountains of Kent
ucky as it is in either Louisville
or Lexington, and property is
much safer. 1t is easier to fix
jury or to prevent justice in our
cities thau in our mountain ter
ritory and it is more often done.

There is little question that the de-
cided improvement in quality of fruit
produced the past season by orchards
not sprayed was due to the fact that
the total failure the year previous in
practically all the territory east of the
Rockies made the propagation of

spread of fungous pests impossible.

ruth-misfortunes, like blessings, are

For those living in the northerly lati-
tudes who have a strawberry bed to
carry through the winter for the first
time a suggestion will be in place as
to protecting it. 1t is well to wait IN
til the ground is frozen firmly. when
the bed should be given a covering of
clean straw, coarse hay or cornstalks
and of sufficient depth to shield from
the rays of the sun and keep the bed
from alternate thawing and freezing
during the winter. If ones locality Is
likely to be visited by killing frost
at blossom time the danger may be re-
duced by allowing the covering to re-
main on the bed until a couple of
weeks after other green things get well
started. If the covering is Of straw it
is an excellent plan to merely rake it
from the plants on to the spaces be-
tween the rows, where it will serve as
an excellent mulch and keep the Der
ries clean.

Value of Cinders

A few years ago great heaps of Gin
ders piled up. often being dumped into
low places where new earth was need
ed. Manufacturing concerns were glad
to get rid of the denominations. But
now the einders are in great demand
for use in the foundation for cement
and concrete work. They form a per
feet drainage material. and it has been
found that frost acts very lightly on
them. Furthermore. concrete work in
which cinders are used is said TO be of
extreme durability. When cinders are
ground and mixed with cement the

The Pennsylvania experiment station
has been making some investigations
along the line of the handling of ma
nures that have practical value. In
the course of these it was found that
where the manure was thrown out as
fast as made and kept in covered
shed it lost one-third of its nitro
gen, one-fifth Of its potash and one
seventh of its phoSphOric acid. By a
second method in which the manure
was left to be tramped down with bed
ding Of straw as fast as made during a
period of six months it was found that
there was very little loss of fertilizing
elements owing to the fact that the
manure was in so compact mass that
very little air got to it. The advantage
in dollars and cents in favor of this
latter method was found to be $3.50
for each steer fed for a period of six
months. But better than either of these
methods was that of spreading the ma
nure as fast as made directly upon the
land This plan is followed by many
