LIME W0EKS WONDERS
IN n, hllAaD SOL
Makes Possible An Increased Yield OF
Two Barrels Per Acre.

For the past six years Illinois farm
ers. under the direction OF their Agri-
cultural College have been applying
the remarkable results obtained from
lime tests made by the Maryland Ex.
pertinent Station, tie results Of whic.I
were published in 1906. Experiment.
covering twelve years showed that the
difference in yield between land IN
lined and land treated with lime car.
Donate or ground shells was in an
average Of four corn crops, FIVE bar
rels per acre. The least difference
shown between unlined land and any
other form OF lime used Was three bar
rels. In four crops of corn or an aver
age increase of from three-fourths to
one and q quarter barrels OF corn per
acre year. So far an investment OF
two to three dollars an acre the return
per year was IS 30 $6 and for four
crops for the same investment In lime.
s16 to s.i. These results are obtain
able on most unllmed soils Of South
ern Maryland and would mean an In
crease In income to the average farm
OF s2G0 to $500 a year as the case
might be, II only one-fourth OF tho
cultivated lands of Maryland showed
similar response to the use Of lime
1t would make possible an annual in
crease in the net returns from the
farms Of over Eve millions Of dollars.
Such results would certainly justify
the investment of $4,000 In soil an
vestigations as proposed by the Gov
ernor in his message to the Legisla-
ture.

M0HAMMED'S TAIL
ey GEORGE PHILLIPS.


Miss Theodore bingham. director OF
the Mission School for Girls at Da-
mascus. tossed upon the back Of her
camel. The file OF beasts stretched
away before and behind her, each
with its swarthy Arab attendant.
while Sheikh Abdullah, riding on his
white mule, passed slowly alongside
OF the caravan. his hands holding the
:cins loosely and an expression OF
benign self-satiafaction upon his face.
Though she was the only woman
with the caravan, Miss Bingham was
not In the least perturbed. She had
spent q lifetime in Damascus, she had
seen the school grow from a matched
building 20 lordly establishment GOV
ering two acres. numbering 800 in
mates. She had just returned from
q visit 20 New York, ard was carry
ing back $1,000 in subscriptions, which.
with knowledge Of the native meth
DDS Of exchange, she had secreted In
her baggage instead of forwarding
through one OF the extortionate na-
tive banks.
At Jerusalem she had Joined the
caravan. under the protection Of the
Sheikh Abdullah, to insure her safe
arrival unmolested by desert nomads.
And now Damascus was only two days
journey away, and the little package
reposed In the saddle-bags among her
other possessions.
Miss Bingham put out her hand to
assure herself Of its presence there.
But II was not there. Il had disap-
peared during the noontide halt.
Her mind worked quickly. She re-
membered now that she had left the
baggage for q couple OF minutes to
speak to the s1eikh. Somebody NUT
have suspected what 1t was she guard
ed 30 carefully. The thief had taken
the money, and 1t was still in his pos
session.
AS the sheikh rode slowly back Miss
Bingham beckoned him. The old man
came riding up on his mule.
Somebody has stolen $1,000 from
my bag" she said quietly.
Sheikh Abdu.lah looked at Ter be
nignly. 20 foolish woman, why die
you not entrust its care to me?" he
asked. Had ! but known you had so
large sum my head should have an

Old Adase That "He Who Eesitates
10 Lost" 10 a Whole Bundle
Of Truth.

In a letter 10 q friend nc q great
moral crisis In his life Darwin ex-
pressed an observation which is con-
frmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself to
him when he first faced the crisis no
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration. when he was
sorely tempted to proceed, he told his
friend of the struggle he was having.
but added, First Impressions are gen
orally right" and he proposed to stand
by his first impression that the course
In view would be dishonorable.
When a moral question involving
difficulties 10 put up to q person his
first impression In on the merits Of
the question. without reference to the
difficulties OF the course. Later the
difficulties begin to loom mp. and eau
