LOST BY LACK OF NERVE. Louis Philippe Was Wanting When the Crisis Came. Baroness Bolide wrote in her diary the following aeconnt of the abdica- tion of Louis Inliiippe of Ssranee on the day of that remarkable occurrence: -An aid-de-camp of the minister of war who was in the king's cabinet when he abdicated gave me a detailed :lemma of thismost signal piece of cowardice. Ile had reviewed the troops in the 'Carrousel on horseback, highly rouged, when a cry was raised, 'Volei les fauboutgs!' No one had any orders; no one gave auy. The mob rushed forward, shouting. 'Vis'e le ;.‘,.tirde nationale-vivent les troupes!' and shook hands with the outposts. "The king retreated precipitately with his sons, and a sublieutenant of the national guard rushed into the pal- ace asking to see him. Ile was admit- ted and in the greatest agitation said: "'Your majesty must abdicate.' "'Very well,' says the king. 'In fa- vor of my grandson.' "'No, unconditionally.' says the young and self elected mouthpiece of public opinion. "Would you believe it? Of all who were congregated around the royal person Piscatory alone said: 'Go down and head your troops. right for your crown and your dynasty.' Re was overruled, and they all marched out of the palace exeept the Duehesse d'Orleans, her children and the Due de Nemours."

Some of th» wealthier are carried on uncomfortable little wooden saddles strapped to the backs of coolies, but the majority seek salvation o.t foot. As one pants higher and higher one comes to the first of the monasteries, a new structure, low and cool. Almost all the monasteries are new. Mount Omei is uncomfortably close to beaven in some ways. Lightning bolts strike the buildings frequently, and the whole top bas been burned over agate and again. Nevertheless more than 2,000 monks dwell here, and to fulfill all their duty the pious must burn tapers before sixty-two shrines. There is the Hall of the Tranquil Heart and the Gate of Heaven, through which you come to tbe Monastery of Everlasting Joy. The most beautiful spot on Mount Oniel is a jutting ledge above an al- most bottomless precipice. The spot is called the Rejection of the Body. Many a mystic, intoxicated by endless dis- tance and dizzying height, has solved here all the problems or religion by a single step over the brink. -Argonaut. Vastness of South America.

"Let me show you 'Love Letters of Wise Men,'" said the clerk in the book emporium. "Are they signede" asked the cau- tious bookworm. "Yes, indeed; every one of them." "Then they must be forgeries. Wise men never sign their names to love let- ters." Incredible. "I was talking with Professor Hoo - z84 last night. You know he's just back from an exploring expedition to central Africa." "Did he make any important discov- eries?" "Well, he says he found a race of people so uncivilized that they had never even heard of moving pictures." Box Trees of Aalsmeer. Aalsmeer, Rolland, is noted for its strawberries and the clipped box tree. This local industry, which has been brought to a perfection unknown else- where, has been carried on for at ]east 200 years, as the village records show. The nurseries are most curious and in- teresting. In the rich peaty soil box trees grow in every size and shape. Practical Mothers "That woman next door is a thor- oughly practical woman.

The terrine*. Must lin terepered Grow early ['tants. Preparedness is just as linporten1 to the market gardener as to the na- tem, writes 11. i, W 140 in the Collo- try Gentleman. If you expect to pro- duce early vegetables you =St prepared to grow early Plants, This, means the making of a hotbed unlesfet you bave a greenhouse. The size of the hotbed pit will de- pend, of eouree, upon the number at plants to be started. With good roan - agement from 8,000 to 10,000 seed* lings may be started under s. sash 3 by 6 feet in size, In other words, two sash will be sufficient merely to start the plants for an acre of early cabbage. It is assumed that the seedlings will be transplanted late the cold frame in about a month from the date of sowing, The pit sbould be not less than twenty-eight inches deep for the starting of cabbage and lettuce, al- lowing about two feet of manure to be used. The heat from such a body of fresh horse manure will last more than a month. It is customary to line the walls at the pit with boards. Any kind of in- ferior lumber will do for this pur- pose. The posts, however, should be sound and durable, so that it will be unnecessary to replace them for 11 number of years, The top of the hotbed frame should extend from six inches to a foot above the surface of the ground. The total width should be the same as the length of the sash. The frame should slope to the south or south- east, and the upper side should be sir inches higher than the lower side. Most growers prefer crossbare about three inches wide to support the sash and to give additional strength to the frames. If desired the frame of the pit may be made of concrete, the walls beine two and a half or three inches thick, T angle irons, the ends embedded DI the concrete, may be used for cross- bars. This makes a very durable and satisfactory type of construction. STUDY YOUR SOIL. Farmers Should Learn the Nature of the Foundation of Their Farms. No doubt the farmers of to -day would be more successful if they would carefully study the nature of the soil of their farms, finding out what elements they lack and going to work to supply that deficiency. It may not be necessary for the farmer to have a knowledge ot chem- istry in order to make a chemical ans alysis of his soil to determine its ele- ments. If the has an observing eye be can soon discover- by growth of the crops and the color of the son what it contains and what it lacks. After all it is not so much what ele- ments the soil contains, but how much of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is available for plant food. For instance, nitrogen produces the growth of leaf and branch and stalk. If the soil is rich in nitrogen the leaf will have the heavy dark color; and if the element exists in too great a proportion the growth will be rank and grain will be light. This is especially noticeable when wheat, oats, or corn is grown where an old straw rick once stood. Phosphorus aids in the formation of pollen and brings seed to a perfect maturity. If this acid is lacking the plant will sometimes die before ma- turing seed. Potassium supplies the starch in the grain, and when this is wanting there will be no plumpness, but a shriveled condition of the grain. The color of the soil also reveals Its nature. If the soil is dark there Is a great deal of organic matter in it. Oreanic matter in abundance means plenty of nitrogen. Clay and light colored soils denote the -lack of nitro- gen. Clay and light-colored soils denote the lack of nitrogen, There may be some exceptions, but not many. The texture of the soil also indi- cates its properties. Organic matter in abundance makes the soil porous. Mellow soils contain plenty ef phos- phorus. If soils pack hara after rains it is the evidence of lack of nitrogen and phosphorus. Turkey Nest. Here is a simple and practical sort of a cover for the nesting turkey. It should be abaft three feet Square and about two feet in beeght at the top of its roof.

I am glad to say that it is quite well now and we give the credit to Dr. Chase's Oint- ment, We cannot recommend this preparation too highly " An exchange in answer to a corres- pondent says he will be "perfectly safe in getting married on Saturday or any a:her day," It seems to us that paper i s assuming a tot of responsibility. If, instead of trying to devise foot- gear to conceal the shape of the human pedal extremities, mankind had wiselier elected to go without shoes altogether and develop the human hoof, this had been a happier and less expensive world. The word "news" is commonly sup- posed to be derived from the adjective new.
