Kindling the fire is n.ot the only use
to which old newspapers may be put.

tity unfold aud lap them well, Also
use them to line cheats and drawers,
where woolens are kept, and for shelf -
paper they have the same reeommen-
dation'. They cost nothing and can be
changed as often as when soiled, where-
as regular Shelf -paper, while it of
course, looks more artistic', is sometimes
used too long for cleanliness.
When taking up the ashes each morn-
ing, try spreading a paper upon the
floor to catch anything that may 4,11
from the shovel. Also when ripping
an old garment. It saves you much
work ot brushing up. We knew a girl
who always combed her hail standing
over an open newspaper. But old pas
pera find their chief mission abont the
kitchen sink, and it is a capital idea
to keep a pile of them on the shelf
overhead or the closet beneath. Al-
ways spread one upon the sink shelf
before you begin to clean the lamps.
It will catch all charred bits, all oil,
and how quickly it is thrust into the
fire then the work is finished, After a
boiled dinner or a still greasier din-
ner of mutton, use pieees of newspaper
to remove the surplus fat. Wipe the
grease from the bottom of dishpan, the
sink -scraper, and whenever it has col-
lected in the sink. When, however, the
pipe becomes stopped with grease, do
not think you must get a plumber, or
trouble the men -folks. The best treat-
ment we have found is to sprinkle a
heaping teaspoonful of soda down the
pipe, then pour on a kettleful of boil -
ng water. It melts the grease at once.
SOME GOOD RECIPES.
Swiss Fritters. -Slice your stale bread
early an inch thick, out round with
cake -cutter and fry quiekly in deep,
ot fat. Dip each round, as soon as
one, into boiling water for one sec-
nd, to remove superfluous grease.
pread the fritters, as fast as they
re fried, and dipped, with powder -
d sugar, wet up with lemon juice,
over and keep hot until needed.

BANK OF ENGLAND' OURIOS.
one is a, Eive.:11illion•Dollar Note --Paper
• That circulated over 00 Tears.
The Bank of England note library ts
one, of the most interesting places in
the world. It is a small, arched room
in the bowels of the earth, flanking a
dimly -lighted lane leading to impreg-
nable vaults of gold, and is in charge
or two or three gentlemen, who sit at
a desk silently counting bank notes,
and tying them up in neat, compact
parcels. ,
A London Daily Mail representative
had occasion to go there, and he was
shown, as all privileged visitors are
shown, three framed Bank of England
notes of considerable historic interest.
They are carefully guarded and pre-
served, like the other many treasures
in the bank. •
The first note was for £1,000, which
was given by Alexander Cochrane, af-
terward Lord Dundonald, in payment
of a fine inflicted upon him some time
before the battle of Waterloo. Cochrane,
after destroying the French fleet in
the Aix Roads, was accused and con-
victed of a stook -jobbing fraud, and
part of his sentence was the payment
of a fine of £1,000. Cochrane, whose
sentence was years afterward annull-
ed, bitterly resented his punishment,
and when, in July, 1815, he tendered
the note in payment of the fine, he
made the following pathetic indorse-
ment upon it: "My health having suf-
fered by long and close confinement,
and my oppressors having resolved to
deprive me of property or life,
I SUBMIT TO ROBBERY.
to protect myself from murder, in the
hope that I shall live to bring the de-
linquents to justice. -Cochrane Grated
Chamber, King's Bench Prison, 3d July
1815."
Another interesting note is one for
425, which was issued on July 9, 1736,
and was not returned/ to the bank un-
til March 9, 1847-111 years after. It
had evidently passed through many
hands during that long time, as it is
torn in many places, and but for the
supporting glass and frame back would
totter to pieces.
The third note is remarkable as the
only one -million -pound Bank of Eng-
land note ever issued. Its history is
not known, and even the date of its
issue is a mystery, as either much cir-
culation or voracious moths have been
responsible for, • the absence of big
slices of this unique slip of paper. It
is known that it was issued. between
the years 1782 and 3807, as it bears
the name of Mr. Ab. Newland, who was
during- that time Governor of the
Bank of England, but the purpose of
its issue is still a secret. In the left-
hand corner is written "No. 1." It was
the first and the last. You cannot get
a bank note now of a greater value
than £1,000.
And then the gentleman who so care-
fully explained the points about the
ancient notes turned to the modern
ones. They formed. a single row of
small parcels on the desk.
" How many are there -two hun-
dred?"
" Pifty-seven thousand," quietly re-
plied the official, "that is about the
number we have every day." And he
spoke about those 51,000 just as un-
concernedly as a grocer would of a
dozen of eggs. It is extraorditary
what familiarity does.

HINTS POR
• THE FARMER.
EXPERIENCE IN APPLYING
NIANURLSe
During the fall of 1896 I moved quite
a lot of manure just as it wastaken
a lot et mantare just as it WaS taken
from the stable. Not caring to pile
it so late I put it into the spreader
and applied it to the outside of it field
-began and cireled the entire field..
I had enough to cover it strip eight
rods wide around the field, writes Robt.
0. Morris. We had an open winter
with mud( rain,. Before spring it was
(apparent that the manure was hav-
• ing a very beneficial effect. By the
time I could get on the ground to gat
the field in a spring crop quite a
growth of weeds and grass had sprung
up. It was my intention to finish man-
uring the -field in the spring, but a
press of farm work and late spring
prevented,
There was a most marked showing
of the fall manuring. The second season
planted a later crop and in May fin-
ished the field. I applied, a coating of
manure consisting of two loads of well -
rotted to one of the fresh. A dry sum-
mer followed and I was disappointecl
in the result of the early summer dress-
ing, but the effect of, the fall dress-
ing was very marked, and the crops
were ranch better on that part mat-
ured 18 months before, These are cold
tads.
I have purchased and spread thou-
sands of loads. If the commonly ac-
cepted theory about manure and man-
uring be true our waste and refuse
matter would pollute the soil. Tlae
new light shining for the scientific
fanner is proving to be the truth, and
answers "'What is manure?" What
is humus?" "How does humus perform
a part second only to the soil itself
in tonverting manures and fertilizing
matter into available plant food ?" The
new philosophy proves that the soil is
only a medium, that the countless num-
bers of bacteria attack manurial mat-
ter in the warmer season in the field
and in the manure heap at all sea-
sons, digest it and reconvert it into
plant food. It tells how to build up
the soils so as to make more plants.
More plants mean more animals, more
animals mean more gold for the far-
mer, and more manure to make the
soil still richer.
THE USE AND ABUSE OF LIME.
• Lime has the property of unlocking
the natural fertility of the soil. Plants
must have their food in soluble form,
but nature to prevent this plant food
from being washed out of the soil by
rains, etc., holds its natural stores in
an insoluble form. Lime was provided
in this case as a key to these stores.
An application of lime breaks up the
soil and liberates nitrogen, potash, and
phosphoric acid in forms suitable for
food for plants. It is needless to state
here how this is done; every farmer
knows well its truth. This may be call-
ed the proper use of lime.
Lime itself is not properly plant food.
Its beneficial action largely lies in
making other materials useful. 'When
soil is continuously limed, ther time
must come sooner or later when there
is left in the soil no more plant food
for the lime to act upon. In this case
lithe is no longer beneficial; it is the
abuse of lime which brings this result.
It is not necessary that all the plant -
food in the soil should. be exhausted.
A very heavy application of lime works
an injury by making the soil so alka-
line that nitrogen cannot be convert-
ed into forras suitable for plant -food..
As the stores of natural fertility in
the soil become reduced, ;the effect of
a normal application of lime becomes
less. It might be bossible to liberate
more fertilizer by greatly increasing
the lime application, hut limp would
then become injurious of itself.
Lim.e prepares food for plants, but
cannot give a full ration • when the
food becomes scanty. The prudent
farmer will keep his soil in good con-
dition by applying potash and phos-
phoric acid to replace that removed by
crops. Even with the application of
chemical manures, lime is beneficial
and must not be neglected. It is ab-
solutely certain that a soil limed and
not fed with mineral manures will be-
come practically sterile. It is only a
matter of time.
I
SUCCULENT FOOD AS AN APPE-
TIZER.
La dairying, we cannot afford to lose
sight of the necessity and utility of
•supplyingr regular feeds of some sort
of green, succulent food, in conneetion
with the usual rations of the more
solid foods, grain and hay. It does not
matter so much just what succulent
foods are chosen. Those that are cheap-
est and most available in any given
locality will most naturally be employ-
ed. All roots, such as turnips, beets,
carrots, parsnips and potatoes, are ex-
cellent for the purpose. Ensilage is
also very good. Cabbages and pump-
kins are very desirable when they are
plenty and cheap.
Whatever juiey food is selected, by
all means supply a reasonable amount
of it every day, for the efficiency of
such is very marked, Such foods have
what nourishment they contain in a
most palatable and easily digestible
form; but their chief value doubtless
eonsists in the healthful stimulus
they give the entire digestive system.
These saccuIent substence's promote the
regular healthy action of the bowels,
encouraging the stomach to do its but
work in the digestion of the more dry
and solid foods, and as a general result
the vigor and vitality of the whole wai-
t:eat organism is decidedly augmented.
HOW .ORCOARDS MAKE VALUES.
Good orchards of all fruits have it fix-
ed value that has been well maintained
says 0. D. Willard. They are rarely
fennel for sale, their estimated value
being- from 6200 to 41,00 per aere, the
I
difference in wipe growing out a the
location, condition, and varieties e'rawna
the latter being regarded as it matter
of great importance, but whieh in
many instances hat been too little
thought of in planting for eonunercial
'purposes.
A friend, who is known as one of
the best apple growers in my oount9a
has assurest me that $1,000 per acre
would be no temptation for a purchase
would be no temptetioz ua a purchase
price for his orchard, he claiming that
his plantation of Nonesuch and Bald-
wins has paid biro more than 10 per
cent net on this mins through the past
10 years. The past season, with onljl•
a moderate crop and an unusual am-
ount of defective fruit, the receipts
from about 25 ilexes have amounted to
something • over 6i,000. Now, how
about the value of ordinary farm lands
in general through the same section?
A hasty review er 'the situation may
not be amiss. A portion of the land
owned by my father, independent of
the old orchard referred to, sold some
40 years since at $135 per acre, and
it has recently changed bands at $60
per acre, and this is no exception.
BURNING CORN -COBS FOR HOGS.
Seleet rather clayey ground, iS pos-
sible, and dig a hole four or five teat
square, according to the amount of Goal
you wish to make, and about five feet
deep, with sides sloping down to the
centre, where a fire is started. Place
on as many cobs as will burn well,
and leave until they are thoroughly
fired, then add more cobs. Continue in
this way, adding a fresh layer as soon
as the last is well afire, until the pit
is full of burning cobs. Then over the
whole lay a large tin or sheet -iron cov-
er, An old tin roof or discarded cor-
rugated iron sheeting will answer.
Cover the edges of this with dirt and
leave for several hours. You will then
have a supply of the best of charcoal,
and can feed as you wisla or haul the
whole amount to the feed lot, and let
the swine run to it whenever their
appetite calls for it.

A VANISHING ISLAND.
England and France Have Both Annexed
It, but They Can't Keep It.
Out in the Pacific is a strip of land
which has a will of its own and will
not undergo allegiance to any power.
They call it Falcon Island.
.rohn Bull was the first to encount-
er it. In 1889 the British c,orvette
Egeria noted a prominent island in
the South Sea. Palm trees Were grow-
ing on its southern extremity, a com-
manding bluff rising 150 feet above
the sea.
On landing, the commander was
struck with the beauty of the island.
It was not more than a mile in length
and halft a mile broad. As there was
no sign of the island having been no-
ticed, the captain, after having christ-
ened it Falcon Island, planted the
Union Jack on its topmost pinnacle.
The results of his voyage were re-
ported, and next year a transport ship
was sent with orders to make further
reports. The captain of the Egena,
who happened to be in command of the
transport, on arriving at the place
where he had left the island was sur-
prised to find that it had disappeared.
Nothing was left but a low and dan-
gerous coral reef, with the sea beat-
ing against it. The cliff bad disap-
peared, and with it • the palm trees
and vegetation.' England's flag had
sunk with the land.
Two years later the French Govern-
ment sent the cruiser Duchaflault to
the Pacific. She found.her way to Fal-
con. There was an island nearly the
exact counterpart of the one discovered
by the English corvette in 1889, except
that the southern promontory was 25
feet high instead of 153, as reported. by
the Egeria. • The palm trees had gone,
but the island was still verdant. The
resurrected island was formally an-
nexed in the name of the French,Re-
public, and the French flag was left
flying.
- Two years later a brig sent out by
France to revisit her possessions found
that Falcon Island had again disappear-
ed, and was simply a reef, dangerous
to navigation. Whereupon France, in
her turn, gave up her possession.
Next the home government of Tonga
Island, hearing of the disappearing
niece of land, sent an expedition to Fal-
con. The isle was once again in evid-
ence, the southern promontory being
now 40 feet high, and the northern end
now standing out as a commanding
bluff. The vessel took possession in
the name of King George of Tonga.
And now the island is once more
disappearing. The latest reports state
that in all probability it is again sub-
merged.

DAWSON'S IMPROVEMENTS.
A Volunteer Fire Brigade Organized -
Liquor )(Accuse 'Fee.
The conflagration which wiped out
a portion 6f Dawson City, in the 'early
autuma, caused by a woman using a
lighted lamp as a club, to emphasize
an argument she was addressingto an-
other woman, appears to have had a
sobering effect upon the residents of
the golden city of the north. Recent
advices from the land of snow and ice
state that a volunteer fire department
has been organized by Commissioner
Ogilvie and a fire engine purchased.
A duty which devolves upon one or two
of the volunteer fire company is to
see to it that the ices on the river does
not be,come so thick that valuable time
would be lost in cutting it in the event
of a fire. Every other day the ice is
chopped. to within a few inches of the
water so that a few blows from an
axe would give easy access to the wa-
ter. Despite the ooldiaess of the wea-
ther the new fire c,orapany put in re-
gular hours of practice every week in
handling their new fire apparatus,
A commodious hospital has been es-
tablished in the 'city which is sup-.
ported by' public: subscription. The ter-
ritorial council has contributed $22,-
000 towards the maintenance of th
institution during the present season.
Latest advices frora Dawson City
state that the members of the Yukon
Council of administration have decid-
ed to impose a liquor license fee of
$1,000 annually upon all hotels and sa-
loons in the place. What provision will
be made with those who have already
paid a $2,000 license fee to the North-
West Territories Government has not
been learned. This action of Commis-
sioner Ogilvie and his council is giv-
ing much satisfaction among the in-
habitants of Dawson.

RAPID TRANSIT FOR MAIL.
An extraordinary scheme has been
mooted in India, namely, one for the
construction of a pneumatic tube line
4,400 miles in length, between London
and Bombay, for the transportation
.of mails. The theory is that these could
thus be conveyed from! city to city in
twenty-four hours. The engineering
difficulties include the great height of
some of the mountains to be crossed.
in Asia Minor and the maintenance
of ,power -houses in remote places. This
air -pipe project is still very much in
the air.
