ONE CIGARETTE STUB,
nein of a Vast Grazing Ground and Star-
voa.tou of Thonsanate ot tinisatals.
A member of huntere in the Gros Ventre
range, Wyo., one day in August, 1889, were
smoking as they rode along.. One carelessly
east his cigarette stub on the grass beside
the trail. Usually it would have died there
and no harm came from it, hub a breeze was
blowing that fanned it till a dry blade of
grass flamed up. The hunters had just
passed 'around a bend and did not see the
tame. An hour latera fire that threaten-
ed all the grass south of the Gros Ventre
river was raging and the few settlers there
were riding from ranches even thirty miles
away to save the range their cattle needed.
One man followed and brought back the
hunters and for the rest of the day more
than a score of Men with horse e dragging
bundles of green brush galloped Up and
down to confine the flamea to the canyons
and mountains east of the valley. They
succeeded, and the ranchers worn out rode
home to rest. Some hundreds of square
miles of mountain sides and the bottom
lands in the canyons were burned.over. '
Later came winter and the deep snow
common to that country. With the snow
came herds et ek from the mountain tops
to feed inkthe-tnickets along the brooks be-
tween the Mountains. It was their regular
practice, and, they had alwayslived there in
peace the winter through, for the settlers
killed only what were needed for food. But
this winter, instead of nourishing grasses
and twigs, the Chautauquan says, the un-
fortunate animals found only charred stubs
and blackened scda. Goaded by their
hunger they came out on the plains and
about the ranches of the settlers. At first
they fled at the sight of a man, but by.Janu-
ary cared nothing for one. They mingled
with the cattle; they leaped over fencee
built high to exclude them; they attacked
the haystacks in spite of armed men stand-
ing there on guard. They died of starvation
by the thousand, and one who drives up the
valley sees hundreds of whitened antlers
where tho elk fell on the plains and, thou-
sands of dead and blackened tree trunks on
the mountain side.
How to Maintain Fertility.
BY rBOP. 0.0. o Bottom° X.
Many farmers on our prairies still cling
fondly to the delusion that the fertility of
their farms will never giv e out. Emphaticas.
stations to the effect that manure is a posi-
tive irjury, or that the land will remain
:
; just an fertile as it is till it is worn ten feet
I deep, frre not infrequent. And I regret to
say that they sometimes come from those
' who, by reason of education and opportuni-
ties for observation, ought to know better.
It is useless to argue with such people.
Nothing but experience can convince them.
To them the evidence of statistics and the
experience of others count for nothing.
Nor are these lines directed to them. There
is another large class of intelligent farmers
who admit the possibility of soil exhaustion
but who, nevertheless, fail to take measures
to prevent it. They aro convinced thatim-
mediate measures are needed. They have
become wedded to the pioneer practice of
limiting farming to sowing and reaping,
and to doing this with the least possible ex-
penditure of labour. They. can, therefore,
never find time to haul manure from the
feed lot, or to bother with clover and tame
grasses ; and ep for rotation, that they ad-
mit is doubtlesa a good practice, but there is
no chance for it, since they grow but
--- wheat and corn, and the corn is always
surest on the low-lying portions of tho
farm, wise mart the wheat does fairly
well on the high ground. This class, though
open to conviction, require positive proof
of the need of a change before they consent
to alter their system. There is still a third
and largo class..alof excellent, wide .awake
farmers who keep abreast of the times,
whose farms are growing richer as the
years pass; these need no advice on the sub -
teat. .
If you would be convinced that our
prairie soil and oven our rich bottom lands
can suffer loss of fertility, compare, when-
ever opportunity offers, the crops in average
years on new land after it has been under
the plough a couple of years with crops on
adjoining fields Which have been cultivated
for years. If the eye fails to detect a
difference, let the bushel measure decide the
case. Should this fail to plosive it to your
satisfaction, study the practice of farming
communities in the older settled portions of
the Mississippi Valley,and note the history
of that practice. The farmers who to -day
are prosperous and successful in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Missouri do not rely on
the unaided native fertility of the soil for
the growth of their crops; they have laid
aside the pioneer system and adopted the
reciprocity plan in dealing with their soil,
„ by which they give as well as take, and
they find the more they give it the more
' they can take. That soil was once as fertile
and as "inexhaustible 3•' as the best Kansas
soil now is. If a change has, been found
necessary there, will it not be needed here?
Finally, applying the test of common sense
to the problem. It is evident that it must
take a large amount of material to grow a
field of corn, or wheat or anything else.
Where does it come from ? Though water
and air furnish much our field crops are not
air plants ; the essential portion must come
from the soil. Now, roots cannot bite off
and swallow particles of soil as was once be-
lieved ; they, cat feed only by absorbing
water, and withkit the nourishment that it
may have dissolved in the soil. But soil
does not dissolve like sugar or salt. Only a
very small per cent. of its weight can thus
be dissolved in water, and it is this small
amount which constitutes its fertility ;
• when that is used up its capacity to pro-
duce crops is gone. Anyone can see that
with continuous heavy dropping the stock
of fertility must in time be reduced, and if
nothing is done to maintain it, finally give
out; and then we have an abandoned farm.
' How to maintain the fertility of our
farms is a problem that ere long will force
itself in our attention. It is the wisest
course to solve it before it becomes pressing,
for the old adage that "an ounce of preven-
tion is worth a pound of cure " had never
a more apt application than there. What
,to do to reuuntain the fertility can in a
general way be formulated in a few brief
rules :-
1. Save every scrap of .manure, whether
proddee'1 in' the stable or in the. ,feed lot.
The era when it coold be most profitably
It will make the cattle more comfortable,
and serve as an absorbent of the liquid
manure'besides furnishing much that is of
value itself.
4. Haul the manure en to tbe corn land
during winter, or early spring, and plough
it under as soon as possible. 'Never manure
directly for wheat and oats unless the land
is very poor. Itis those who do So who con-
clude that "manure is injurious to this soil."
In a wet season it may cause the straw to
grow so heavy that it lodges, and in the
dry season it may make the soil too porous
to retain the necessary moisture; but none
of these objections apply to corn.
5 Adopt some system of rotation so the
same crop shall not occur two years, or
at least not more than two years in succes-
sion in any given field.
6. Let red clover and tame grasses,
especially the elover,be a prominent part of
this rotation. Seed it early in the spring,
either by itself or with some mixture of grass
seed, but not with any grain crop, Use it
for meadow the first year, for meadow or
pasture the second, and the third, plough
under a good growth of young clover as late
in the spring as practicable to prepare for
planting, or pasture it till mid -summer and
then break it up early and thoroughly for
wheat. If dune before harvest it is better
than later.
7. If for any reason such a rotation is im-
practicable green manure fields in turn for
the corn each year, for which use some legu-
minous plant if possible. The Southern
cow pea is the very best plant for this pur-
pose. Let it fallow wheat, and plow the
land and sow the cow peas broadcast, two
bushels per acre, early in July immediately
after wheat harvest. By the middle of
September there will be a heavy growth
which should be turned under before frost.
Other means for keeping np the fertility
will suggest themselves to the practioal
farmer ; but if these points are adhered to
his land will never fail him, nor will he
need to patronize the artificial fertilizer
manufacturer who, in the East, profits by
the thoughtlessness of a former generation
of farmers in letting the land run down.
Tombstone Poetry
The tombstone poet belonged to a time
that is past. He lies in his own grave no w
and he would find his occupation gone if he
eould return to life. He would be surprised
and saddened by the fact that an advanced
stage of civilization has made his poetry
unpopular, and that his rhymes touch the
risibles instead of the hearts of those who
read them now.
The modern man or woman does not weep
over an epitaph like this, said to be on a
tombstone in an old Connecticut cemetery:
Here Iles the body of Yam Brent;
She kicked up her heels and awey she went.
The following epitaph Is of both Modern
and aneient origin, the last two lines having
been added by some unfeeling wag :
Mary Ann lies here to rest,
With her head on Abraham's breast.
Which was all right and proper encugh
until the wag added ;
Its very nice for Mary Ann,
But rather tough on Abraham.
In an old cemetery in Speneer, Mass.,
may be found this:
Here lies the mother of children seven,
Three on earth and four in heaven;
Those who died desiring rather
To go with mother than to live with father.
And while the following is not poetical in
its construction, it tells the whole truth
with a teoching simplicity of detail :
4- ANE.,
Wife of Jeremiah Walters, died November,
16, ises, aged 68 years, 0 mantle. She wee
a true and faithful wife to each of the fol-
lowing persons:
Enooli Francis,
John Sherman,
William Neassens
J. Walters.
Curiosities in Marrying.
A workingparson, whose experiences have
been gathered in large town parishes, tells
in " The Cornhill " some amusing stories
chiefly relating to the wedding ceremony.
Once it was his lot to be enabarrassed by
the appeals of two yotuag women who want-
ed to marryothe same bridegroom. The
first comer of these had scarcely told how
her faithless lover had actually put up the
banns in the East -end parish, when the
deliquent turned up with an idiotic grin on
his face and a gaily -apparelled young woman
on his arm. What could the parson—then
a young and bashful creature—do loot invite
the trio into the vestry -room, there to dis-
cuss the business. Luckily for him, it
speedily leaked out that there had been no
legal residence in his parish, which afforded
him at once a sufficient ground for declining
to perform the ceremony. On another occa-
sion the awful discovery was made that
the bride had by accident been described
in the marriage licence by her pet name.
It was suggested that an affidavit of identity
sworn at a neighbouring police -court
might repair the blunder. This was done
jest in time to complete the cere-
moay within canonical hours; but the
accommodating clereyman afterwards re-
ceived a stern admonishment from high
quarters "not to do it again." Another case
was that of an elderly widower wile was so
dull and stupid that it was very difficult to
marry him. Wheu told to give his right
hand ha gave his left; when the minister
said 'Say this after me," he immediately
remarked "Say this after me," But when
the words he earl to repeat were given, he
was stolidly silent. "At last," says the
narrator, "ho saw that I was somewhat
bothered by his extreme stupidity, so in the
middle of the service he upset my gravity
by volunteering the following apology :
'You see, sir, it's so long since I was married
afore that you must excuse my forgetting of
these things.'" One more sample. It
appears that it oecasiona.11y happens
that a couple who have been content to be
married at a registry office are some time
afterwards seized with a desire to be married
again, as the law allows, in church. The
"working parson" having one day got such a
couple on the steps of the altar, he was rather
nonplussed by the answer he got to the
question "John, wilt thou have this woman
to thy wedded wife?" "Why, sir," replied
the bridegroom, "1 told you we was married
two years ago."
The round faced, puffed choked cherubs;
with their expressions of perfect rapture, do
not appear on the modern tombstone, but
they abound in all old New England ceme-
teries, and are queer examples of what was
once thought beautiful and appropriate for
tombstone ornamentation. The writer re-
members seeing on one of these old tomb-
stones a carving of a chrysalis just below
that of the cherub. Below the chrysalis
were the words, " Keturah as she was,"
while below that of the grinning, round
faced chetub, with its head set flat on its
say to a main Would you like me to buy
a cigar?' Then why do you always fine
your little invitations to treat in that
way to me ? Indeed, my dear, if men would
only act toward their wives as heartily,
cordially as they do to men whom they
meet, they would find cheerier companions
at home than they could at the club."
An Amateur Bull -Fight.
Chappes, a little village near Clermont-
Ferrand, France,was the soene of something
very like an amateur bull -fight, which left
nothing to be desired in the way of excite-
ment. M. Mazuel, a farmer, was leading a
cow to the local fair, when the anitnal sud-
denly broke loose and atarted off to rush
through the street at the top of its speed.
The first victim was an old inau of 70, whom
the cow hurled violently into a ditch. The
infnriated beast next attacked an elderly
woman, and pitched her a distance of 15
feet. After upsetting several peasants, and
injitrieg them mora or less severely, the
cow tore into the village of Che.breloche,
where it stopped suddenly in front of two
gendarmes, named Clavelier and Pommoy-
rol, who placed themselves in its way.
After eyeing them for a few seconds, the
cow made a rush at Clavelier,who fortunate-
ly stepped aside, and hid behind a tree.
The cow then made a dash at the other
gendarme, who discharged hiss revolver
hitting the animal in the forehead. The
wound merely caused the cow to be more
enraged, and it made a second dash at
Clavelier, who fled across a field, closely
followed by the beast, nt which Pommy-
rol fired repeated shots, Nine bullets took
effect, but only rendered the cow absolute-
ly mad. It attacked each of the men in
turn, until at lastPommeyrol, who had been
fortunate enough to obtain a gun loaded
with ball, shot it dead. The owner of the
dangerous beast will be Prosecuted for
carelessness.

The French Navy.
The French Chamber of Deputies on Mon-
day, after adopting the credit of 200,000 fr
for Colonial Missions, resumed the debate
on the supplementary credits for which M.
Cava.ignac, the Minister of Marine, has
asked ,m order to bring the navy up to the
the desired standard. M. Brisson complain-
ed that the Budget of Marine was always
increasing, while the defensive forces of the
navy diminished. Passing on to a criticism
in detail, he condemned the defective or-
ganization of the Admirality, and said that
under existing circumstances a mobilization
in ease of war would be attended with
difficulty. M. Brisson further deelared
that, although the money had been voted
for the purpose, the ships were not yet
armed with quick -firing guns. M. Cava -
ignite replied. He said that the supple-
mentary credits were necessary in order
that the naval programme adopted by the
Chamber might be carried out. He urged
that a strict pursuance of that programme
would have the effect of nearly doubling the
strength of the first line, and in particular,
the number of swift cruisers would be in-
creased. If the Chamber wanted the
marine tine defences of the country to be
brought up to the level of the land forces,
it would have to pass a naval budget of
250,000,000 to 300,000,000 francs. The
general debate then closed, and several votes
were agreed upon,
Extraordinary Burglary.
In reports dealing with crime in our
Australian colonies, mention is made of
ail extraordinary burglary recently perpe-
trated at an office in Sydney. The employes,
coming to work one inownieg, found that
the door of 'the strong room had been burst
open. A hole had evideptly been drilled
through the iron door, and a charge of
dynamite inserted and exploded. The

Putting It More Direct.

When .Forks Came In.
It was about the year 1600, and in the
reign of James I., when finks were first in-
troduced into England. This "piece of
refinement," we are told, was derived from
the Italians. In a curious book of travels,
published in the year 1611, the writer says :
"1 observed a custom in all those Italian
cities and towns through which I passed
that is not used in any other country that
I saw in my travels. Neither do I think
that any other nation in Christendom doth
nae it, but only in Italy. The Italians and
also most strangers that are oommorant
in Italy, do alwaies at their males use a
little forke, when they cut their 'mate. For
while with their knife, which they hold in
one hand, they cut the meate out of the dish,
they fasten their forkes, which they hold in
the other hand, upon the same dish. This
forme of feeding is generally in use in all
Italy, their forks being for the MSC, part
mane of yron, or steel, and some of silver,
but those are used only by gentlemen."
Before the revolution in France it was cus-
tomary, when a gentleman had been invited
out to dinner to send his servantin advance
with his knife, fork, and spoon. If he had
no servant he carried them with him in his
pocket. Some of the peasantry in certain
phrts of Germany and Switzerland to -day
carry a case in their pockets, containing a
knife, fork and spoon.

A despatch from Charlottetown, I'. E.

Carthy of this oity, was accidentally shot
through the heart, ancl instantly killed. De-

About the World's Fair.
It has been a kindly emphasized fact con-
nected with the Worbra Fair that women
have been given a more liberal place in
official work than has ever been granted
them before. They are showing that they
are worthy the r mitten they have gained
and the possession. of a Woman's Building
on the Fair grounds, the design made by a
woman, is a conspicuous monument of their
success. The site alloted to the Woman's
Building is one of the best on the grounds.
Mrs. Potter Palmer, the president of the
Board of Lady Managers, was the first of
the applicants for space. and it is current
gossip at Chicago that when it was an.
nouaced she was to visit the grounds for the
purpose of selecting a site the just miuded
gentlemen who had it in their power to
apportion space intimated, with the assump-
tion of lordly airs and with, no doubt, con-
temptuous reflections, that the women stood
little chance of getting what they wanted,
but when Mrs. Palmer appeared and chose
a spot which might be thought to have been
conceded with partiality, there was not a
question raised—indeed, the final fiat was
that they would have gladly given her any-
thing.
The Woman's Building faces the Midway
Plaisance, a beautiful roadway which con-
nects Jackson with Washington Park, and
will furnish many attractions of its own at
the time of the Fair. It is the first build-
ing in view at the present time as the visit-
or nears the grounds by the railway.
The heroine of the Woman's Building is,
of course, Miss Sophie G. Hayden, the only
woman in America who has taken a four-
year course in a school of technology.
Up at the top of one of the city buildings
called "The Rookery"Miss Hayden has her
don. "The Rookery" is a rookery only in
name, as it is one of the fine tall buildings
which at e even more popular in Chicago than.
in Now York, and isrtss Hayden's room is
one of a suite devoted to the Bureau of Con-
struction. The room is like that of any
architect Rough tables hold designs and
plans, and near the window on a high stool
without any back sits the young lady her-
self, poring over papers and drawings. She
is a dark•eyed ,girl, exceedingly youthful in
appearance, and without the smalleet sign
of feminine coquetry or vanity. On the con-
trary, her mind seems thoroughly absorbed.
in her work, and, like the modest rose, she
seems to have been born to blush unseen,
neither seeking nor caring for publicity.
Piled with questions from interested per-
sons, she answers in a soft, low voice and
in as monosyllabic terms as possible. As
women architects were almost unknown
until she came to the front, every word that
qau be gleaned aboikt her is sought for with
much. curiosay. She was born in South
.America her mother being a Spanish wom-
an and her father a New Englander. She
came early to the State of Massachusetts,
and really only seems to have begun life
when she took up the study of architecture
at the Institute of Technology in Boston.
She went through the entire course of four
years, and upon leaving the school in 1890
begau teaching in the manual training
school in the same city. It was at this
time that the Board of Lady Managers is-
sued the circular calling for a design for the
Woman's Building, and a friend of Miss
Hayden, who was in the Bureau of Con-
struction for the World's Fair, called the
attention of the youna architect to it. This
led Miss Hayden sending to Chicago for in.
structions regarding the terms of the coin.
petition, and finally resulted in her setting
to work on the design. All her thought
and attention were given to the work for
one month, and then the design was sent to
the Board of Lady Managers. As a result
in about a week she was telegraphed for,
and upon her arrival in Chicago she was
told that a decision had beeu made in her
favor.
The working drawings have since been
made under her direction, and from time to
time she roes down to the grounds to see
that they are carried out.
A Oat Lett a Legacy.
It has been repeatedly demonstrated that
the weight and size of drops depend upon
the exterior diameter of the dropping tube,
the interior diameter havitg no influence
except upon the velocity of the flow. Using
a dropper of one-eighth inch in diameter
and determining the weight by very deli-
cate balances the following results have been
obtained, fifteen grains e eight being taken
as the unit : Distilled water, 20 drops;
at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, 52 drops ;
alcohol, at 90 degrees, 61 drops; ethereal
tincture, 82 drops ; fatty oils, 48 drops;
aqueous solutions, whether diluted or sat-
urated, 20 drops ; wine 33 to 35 drops; lau-
danum about the same as wine.
Cats, as a general rule, are not set much
store by, even when their position in life is
that of a household cat. There is, however
at the present moment, and owing to
certain odd circumstances, a cat in the
French capital which has become, so to say,
.a public character, in the sense that the
Municipal Council of Paris has had its at-
tention turned to it. Whether it be a fine
specimen of the feline race or a merely
common -place puss is not stated; but evi-
dently the animal had a strong hold on the
affection of its lately deceased mistress. The
lady made a will, bequeathing to the muni-
cipality a oertain sum to be applied to the
educational wants of the poor children of
her district, on condition that the cat she
left behind her was as well cared for, for the
remainder of its days, as any Christian
could wish to be. The animal, the testa-
trix stipulates, is to be placed out to board
with an elderly person of undisputed re-
spectability, who will undertake to look
after it and to see to all its comforts. In
order that the dear creature shall not suffer
from any alteration in the diet to which it
has been accustomed for years, its late mis-
tress states that its three repasts per day
are to consist respectively of lights in the
morning, of liver at noon, and of a piece of
calfheart in the evening. Distinctly this
is a cat whose lot in life might excite the
envy of many a forlorn, abandoned child.

JAZZES WILLIO,
In a school in Glasgow the other day, a
teacher proved that it may be embarrassing
to use one's 'self as an illustration.
The word " orphan " had been spelt cor-
rectly, but none of the class seemed to know
its meaning. After asking one or two of
them, she said encouragingly. "Now, try
again. I am an orphan. Now, can't some
