No Authority.-William Dean How

self:
"I got into an argument one day
with my wife on the propriety Of using
a certain word in a sentence. My wife
maintained there was no right in favor
of my usage, and l held that there was.
So, to end the matter, took the Cen
tury dictionary and looked it up.
"Ah,' said, here it is, with just
the usage employed and I read the
justifying quotation aloud.
But my wife was still dubious,
Whose quotation is that?' she wished
to know.
Again I studied the printed page.

umphant scorn, he's no authority"

"Well, no, sir. was christened

Kipling's Queer conduct.-At tea
the other day, a woman heard the
following remarks made about her
favorite author. She turned to listen,
amazed by the eccentricities of con-
duct narrated.
Eyes, you know" the hostess was
saying, "Kipling came in and behaved
so strangely! At luncheon he sud
denly sprang up and wouldn't let the
waitress come near the table. Every
time that she tried to come near ne
would jump at her.
"He made a dive for the cake
which was on the lower shelf Of the
sideboard, and took 1t into the parlor
to eat it. He got the crumbs all over
the sofa and the beautiful rug.
{. when he had finished the cake
he simply sat and glared at u.s."
The visitor finally could not control
herself, and asked: Excuse me,
but are you speaking of Mr.. Rudyard
Kiplihg?"
"Mr. Rudyard Kipling?" echoed
the hostess. "Oh, no; Kipling Is our
dog!"-New York Sun.

Fertilizers for the Crop.

Under the ordinary conditions Of
soil fertility the fertilizer applied to
the preceding crop is sufficient for the
needs Of crimson clover. This is es-
pecially true where the clover follows
such crops as potatoes or tomatoes,
which are ordinarily heavily treated
with fertilizers that are not entirely
used up by these crops.
If the soil be low in nitrates light
application of nitrate Of soda will as
sist materially in giving the young
plants a good start and often enable
them to withstand the effects of late
drought or severe winter which other
wise might have proved fatal to the
stand. If the seeding has been delay
ed, as by waiting for suitable rains, an
application Of nitrate fertilizer will
stimulate the young plants and enable
them to make an increased growth be-
fore winter.
Crimson clover may be sown broad
cast, by hand, with a wheelbarrow
the familiar types of rotary seeders.
at is sometimes drilled in and there
are a number of specially constructed
drills designed for this purpose.
1.-The consensus of opinion among
farmers Is that shallow seeding is gen.
orally best, especially upon the clay
soils. An inch in sandy soils and half
an inch in clay soil appears to be
about the right depth except in times
of drought.
1.-The ordinary rate Of seeding is fif-
teen pounds per acre. although some
use twenty pounds. while others are
able to obtain satisfactory stands with
only twelve pounds per acre. One
pound of seed per acre provides for
three seeds for every square foot;
hence, if every seed produced a plant,
two pounds per acre would be theoret-
ically sufficient to secure a satisfac-
tory stand. Under ordinary circum-
stances, however, it is necessary to al
low for some of the seed being cover
ed too deep, while a considerable pro-
portion may prove to be covered too
shallow for successful growth. The
principal justification of seeding such
n quantity and at varying depths lies
in the fact that in case dry season

WHEN WALKING WITH LADIES
Nearly Every Country Has Its own
Ideas as to Place of Male
Escort.

Almost every country has Its own
fashions for men who walk with ladies
on the public streets. In America ana
in England We walk on the side OF the
lady that is nearer the street. Many
years ago when the streets were not
kept as clean as they are now. any
person walking on the outer edge oil
the pavements was likely to get well
splashed with mud and rainwater and
that is why the gentlemen took that
side, 80 as to save the ladies' hne
clothes.
In some countries 1t is considered
better for the gentleman to keep near
er the middle of the pavement In or
der to preserve the lady from 1ost'
ling of persons going in the opposite
direction in crowded street. When
1t is the rule for every one to keep
to the right those who are on the
left of the two passing streams are
continually being bumped into In
Germany the gentleman always keep
on the same side Of the lady. no mat
ter which side of the street they may
be on or which way they are going.

ROSE ABOVE HANDICAP
pOsTHUMOUS CHILDREN WHOSE
NAMES ARE FAMOUS.
Birth of Child of John Jacob Astor
Has Aroused Interest In the LIST
Which Contains Many Per-
sons of Note.

The birth of a posthumous child OF
John Jacob Astor arouses especial In
terest and sympathy because of the
tragic death of the father in the IL
tanic disaster. Yet all posthumous
children excite such sentiments. Some
of these children have moreover at
tracted additional attention from the
world in after life through their own
achievements.
Alexander the Great has been said
by some historians to have been born
after the death of his father, but &C
cording to other authorities Philip OF
Macedon lived to enjoy the compan-
lonship of his son for several years. IL
may be that Alexander's stepbrother
was a posthumous child, but that has
not been proved.
Ben Jonson, the Elizabethan dram
atist, was born in 1878, month after
his fathers death. He was fortunate
In acquiring a stepfather who was
good friend to him and gave him an
excellent education.
Thomas Herbert was of posthumous
birth, says his elder brother, Lord
Herbert of Cherbury. He Is remem-
bered chiefly as the brother of Lord
Herbert of Cherbury and of George
Herbert the poet.
Early in the seventeenth century
another child came into the world I'M
der similar conditions. This was Abra-
ham Cowley, the English poet. His
father, who had been grocer in hum
BILE circumstances, died shortly before
the birth of the son. Thanks to the
unfagging struggle and devotion of
his mother the boy received a good
education and his poetic genius had
opportunity for development.
Dean Swift was born few months
after his fathers death. Kindly dis
posed relatives helped his mother with
his upbringing and education.
Adam Smith, author of THE Wealth
of Nations" put in his appearance In
this world some four months after the
death of his father.
Still another English poet was a
posthumous child. This was Thomas
Chatterton, who was born in Bristol
about the middle of the eighteenth
century.
Andrew Jackson, seventh president
OF the United States, was born In a
little log cabin on the border line be-
tween North and South Carolina. In
that same cabin his father, who had
come to America from the north coast
of Ireland died few days before the
birth of his son.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes, the
nineteenth president, was another
posthumous child. He was born in
October and his father died in the
July preceding.
The present king of Spain, Alfonso
XIII, was born after his fathers
death.
Mary Queen of Scots just escaped
posthumous birth, her father dying
when she was a few days old. Richard
Wagner, the composer, was also left
fatherless very soon after his birth.
