Light wines are coming more and more into vogue in France Since the removal of the octroi tax on these light stimulants the consumption of strong drinks and aI- cohol has diminished by one-half. Paris heads the list, strange to say. in the sta tistics of light wine increases and hard drinks dimnution, Before the octroi tax was removed the average alcohol con stunned by Parisians was nearly eight lf- tres per head. and now 1t has fallen to nearly four litres yer head. Drunkenness has declined in equal proportion particu- larly among the working-class population.

ring. All that time the latter was looking on from a safe distance without daring to offer aid to her helpless consort.
 Ut was only when we thought the MlDnesota' was a hopeless wreck and when we knew that the Monitor and other federal vessels no longer had any stomach for the fight-in a word, when we had done all that it was possible to do we qiuetly returned to Norfolk to await the opportunity for another raid. The enemy never offered us one. Once we thought they meant 10 do so, for a dozen of their large ships, accompanied by the Monitor were muneuvering in the Roads. When they saw approaching they fled like a flock of wild ducks and huddled under the guns of the fortress
 'The 'Merrimac was never more than floating harbor battery, and when Nor folk was evacuated by our land forces but one of two things remained 10 be done-to surrender her in few weeks to the enemy. or to destroy her ourselves. We chose the latter alternative. and no enemy's foot ever polluted her decks
 "Comparcd in magnitude with the great battles of the war, the fights in Hampton Roads were mere skrmlshes, but in their indirect result they were of incalculable importance. They were the signal for remodelling the navies of the world and rendering obsolete the old methods of naval warfare.

LONG HIKES FOR CONVERTS
Missouri Preacher Has Walked 1S,-
 900 Miles in Last Six Years ;
Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 The Rev. G. NJ. Walker, who has been peaching at several country churches in Howard county since 1905, doubtless holds the walking record among Mssouris rural clergy. MT. Walker estimates that he has travelled more than 1S,000 miles on foot and horseback, principally on. foot in the six and a half years he has been preaching in this country.
 A few weeks ago in one of the most severe blizzards Mir. Walker walked 14 miles from a distant point in Howard county to Fayette in order to lead prayer service.
 MT. Walker is a hardy Englishman of the type which takes snow baths in the dead of winter. In truth, his strenuous ideas of living are marvel to the rugged farmers of Howard county. One of these farmers was surprised recently when he saw the preacher take off his shoes and socks. roll his trousers above his knees and wade the Moniteau creek. which was full of floating ice and melting snow. MT. Walker was on 25 mile hike to an ap-i pointment at Perche church in Boone county. He said afterward that his offer Ing at the two services amounted to $3.66.
 MT. Walker was recently called to

The Ingenious Book Agent

From the New York Evening Sun.
 The book agent who walked into Peter Steffens' office looked like an ingenious fellow. but steffens glanclng up fin hurry spied his trade in a minute and muttered 10 himself:
 "confound that boy. Now. how did that fellow get in?"
 Aloud he said: "You're wasting your time here. don't want to buy anything today"
 "If you'll only let me show you"
 O. shouted Steffins
 Tt w,in't take a minute"
 "fSh take nVe,7 declared Steffens.
 "But your family. sir. this is something out af the common"
 No use. I can't read" said Steffens.
 But your family, sir, would you deprive them
 T would" said steffens If had any. m an orphan"
 Well, you might want something to throw at the cat" suggested the book agent.
 Do you think" demanded steffens. that I would. .demean my cat by throwing your miserable publication at her?'
 The book agent was only dashed second.
 What about me?" he asked inslnuat- ingly. Don't you want something to throw at me the next time l come?'

war and our press ought to guard that iealously.
 Tn personal notice of myself. that you were kind enough to publish in the Herald, you say that the 'Merrlmac' was finally destroyed by the superior strength and armament of the Monitor
 'As one of the officers of the 'Merrimac' have twice published Il detailed account of the fight and l have read two accounts by other officers of the vessel, and two more by gentlemen who witnessed the battle from the shore. These several ac- counts tell but one tale, Of which the fol- lowing is a summary:
 'The 'Merrimae was an improvised floating battery, mounting 10 guns under a shield protected by iron plates two inches thick. At 9 a. m. on Saturday, March B. 1862, she started on her trial trip. Franklin Buchanan was in com mand. By set of sun she had sunk the Cumberland of 70 guns. destroyed with hot shot the Congress- of 10 guns, blown un a tender or small gunboat. silenced the shore batteries of Newport News, forced the St. Lawrence of 50 guns to retreat to Fortress Monroe. and had driven the Minnesota of 70 guns on q shoal in her efforts to escape.
 "When night came on we steamed oyer to the opposite side of the Roads and anchored till daylight
 "The dawn revealed 10 us the Min nesota still aground. and a strange look ing craft near. If was the Monitor We steamed out toward the 'Minnesota' and the Monitor came boldly out to meet us.

 While In Dayton MT. Walker met min- ister of the Christian church who con- verted him to that faith and who was influential In sending him to Hiram col lege. He spent two years in college, where he made a living for himself and wife by running an engine at the electric light plant. He left school and started out west to preach.
 MT. Walker was sent to Howard county by St Louis minister. His Christian ity is muscular as well as spiritual. In fact. he says he has made at least one conversion by giving a bully a good trouncing.

Always Doll Lovers
Dundee Advertiser.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
 History fails to tell us the inventor of the doll. which has teen such a boon to mankind, not only in quieting the rowdy youngster but in stimulating a healthy imagination and affection.
 Five hundred years before Christ, little girls had dolls; there Is sure evidence of 1t. and Edward Loyvett, an enthusiastic collector, has doll from those dim ages It is little more than battered stick now, but is unmistakably doll. No one could name a fair value for such prize, which stands out as a proof that the child of today is singularly like her little sister some 2500 years ago.

the Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 While looking over m old scrap book today I came across a newspaper clipping, a letter written by an old Confederate in which he gives an account of the battle between the Merrlmac and the Monitor and claims this to be correct version of the fight
 This letter recalls the extracts from hte log book of the Monitor" published in The Age-Herald about t year ago, which stated: "At the close of the battle the .Merrimac' retired disabled" It also re- calls an article on the civil war, by Gen. N. A. Miles, and published in the eos mopolitan'' of January. 1911. which states: After the waters of the Chesapeake had been made safe by the decisive victory of inc Monitor in the battle with the Con federate ironclad Merrimac,' in Hampton Roads" etc. The letter disagrees entire lv with both statements, so I inelose q copy with a view of it's being of possible use to you, as many who took part in tine unpleasantness between the states.

Jnburned but finely ground lime
stone is best for correcting soil acidity.
The use OF lime on soils Is beneficial
in places where calcium is deficient
Some crops require more calcium than
others. This Is especially true OF
clovers. alfalfa, and other leguminous
crops
Whether the soil requires calcium
depends upon It's condition. and this
can be determined by one OF two
methods either by close examira-
ton OF the plant growth or by the use
OF litmus paper. II YOU find horse

calcium; also. IL clovers do not grow

There are several Cat least ten) forms
OF commercial lime on the market.
The best form 10 use is finely ground
limestone. First: because It is cheap
est. and, second: the effect on the
humus is not so serious as with other
forms OF lime-especial caustic or
quick lime The action OF finely
ground limestone in its attack on the
vegetable matter is less noticeable
than with other forms OF lime. The
amounts TO apply depend on how badly
your soil requires calcium, and also
upon the available supply OF lime
stone. We have known Of instances
where as high as eight tons have been
applied 70 the acre with good results.
and as low as a ton or ton and half
has been used very satisfactorily.
The usual amount varies from three

should be supplied to the surface after
the seed bed is prepared. and narrowed
In by the use OF peg-tooth or disk

use of manure spreader; in fact, this
IS the usual machine for applying
