Fatal Street Music.

To street musicians was due the I'm.
timely death of one of England's fore
most humorists. John Leech. The
strain Of ceaseless application to his
work rendered Leech abnormally sen
sitive to street noises of all descrip-
tons, and street music in particular
drove him frantic. The organ grinders,
1t is said. knew of his enmity toward
them and played within earshot of his
studio simply to plague him. In let
ter to Mr.. Bass, NJ. P. who was fran
ing a bill for the suppression Of street
noises, Mark Lemon. the editor of
Punch, declared that beyond a doubt
Leech's ultimately fatal malady, angi-
ma pectoris, or breast pang, was due
to the disturbance of his nervous sys-

AVOID HOT ROOMS.

Work More Effective.
The right temperature for the Office,

healthful and at the same time will en-
able him to do the greatest amount Of
work with the greatest ease Is dis
cussed in a bulletin from the North
Carolina state board of health. 1t says:
Seventy degrees of heat, which most
people think they are keeping when In
reality the thermometer reads any,
where from y to Is, is SCT aiI practical
purposes too hot. 1t is enervating and
annealthful. 1t predisposes to fatigue,
colds, grippe and especially to pneu-
monia. for the reason that too much
heat lowers bodily resistance.
Careful study and all experimental
tons demonstrate that a moderately
cool, dry air in motion is the best air
condition for the body. At no time is a
temperature higher than 6S degrees
recommended, while a much lower
temperature is needed to work in. In

temperature allowed to go over 6S de-
grees, while the usual house temporal
ture over there is CO. Huntington
states that men do their best mental
work when the air temperature is go
and their best physical work when it is
about 40. The best all round tempera-
ture for work is 30, he says.
observations have further shown
that the minimum amount Of work
during the year is done during the hot
summer months and the middle winter
months-January and February-when
indoor heat is highest. Students at
West Point and Annapolis do their
best mental work, mathematics in par
ocular, in the spring and fall and their
worst work In midwinter and midsum-
mer. Excessive heat and lack of cool,
fresh air are thought to make the diff

APPEY....LIME: TO
SOUR SOILS
Easy Way to Find Out Whether
the Soil on Your Farm
Needs Lime
TRY OUT A SMALL PATCH
If the Soil Needs Lime, Then Lime
Must Be Applied or the Farmer
Loses Money on Every Crop Crown
Legumes Need Sweet Soil.

If you want to find out whether lime
is of use to the soil on your farm try
this: put some on a clover or alfalfa
patch. Use two tons of ground lime
! stone kock to the acre just a few
! weeks before seeding the clover or the
alfalfa. Watch the crop for the an.
! swer.
II the growth of the clover or alfalfa
is stimulated and heavier cutting Sc
cured, the land probably needs lime
Even If the lime should improve only
the clover crop directly, the soil would
be improved and the subsequent crops
made better. But most other crops will
be improved directly, also
All legumes contain considerable
lime, and the clovers and alfalfa, in
particular, require a neutral or aka
line soil for the best development of
the bacteria which assist the plant in
securing nitrogen from the air.
1t is possible that poor success with
red clover or alfalfa may be due to
other causes as well as to lack Of lime.
Such failures which can not be eX-
planned on the ground of unfavorable
season, lack of the proper plant food
and crop rotation, or poor water-hold-
ing capacity of the soil, clearly indi.
cate that the soil is acid.
The presence of red sorrel in clo-
yer field 10 another Indication that the
soil has an acid tendency. Lining,
however, will not necessarily exter-
inmate sorrel If there is poor stand
of clover. The absence of sorrel on
most lined lands shows that the extra
growth Of clover, due to the lining,
has crowded out the sorrel.
The litmus method of testing soils
for acidity is fairly reliable. Acid
turns blue litmus paper red. Place a
piece of litmus paper between two
shallow sheets of filter paper. Break
open a moist clod of earth and place
the paper between and press the pieces
of the clod together. After few min
utes examine the litmus paper If it
has turned pink or red, the soil is acid;
If the paper remains blush, the soil is
neutral Care should be taken in
handling litmus paper. Take hold of
the end OF the strip of litmus paper
with dry hands.
Litmus paper and filter paper may be
obtained from most any drug store
