TITE NVTROGEN. OF PLANTS.
The actual value of a fertilizer to
the farmer is govetned by Inc kind
of crop, the soil and the time when
the fertilizer is applied. The ,plant
foods Sought are potash, phosphoric
acid and •nitrogen, and these foods
exist in variou,s articles known as
"fertilizers." .13ut no matter what
the umterials rimy be, the three sub-
stances mentioned are °Iles sought at
all times. They are the substances
which give manure its value, and
whether the -farmer • uses manure,
plows under green crops or purchas-
es artificial fertilizers, he sImplies the
•land with potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogen as food for plants. The
next p011111 15 Inc availability of these
plant foods. The farmer may spi.einl
tons of barnyard neat -lure on his land
bat until it decomposes and becomes
soluble in water the idants derive no
benefit from it; hence the farmer con-
siders manure the best of all mater-
ials', because, as he expresses it, it
lasts for several years," when in
fact, it has simply failed to give him

The 'same rule applies to fertilizers,

show beneficial effects for several
years, according to Inc kind of soil
and crops grown thereon. Plant
foods therefore, vary in comparison,

many Conditions, whiclievery farmer
should endeavor to understand in or-
der to successfull;s operate his farm
The nitrogen of manure or artificial
fertilizers is the most expensive sub-
stance in plant foods, and the value
of the nitrogeaous materials is large-
ly influenced by their solubility. Nit-
rate of soda, sulphate of ainalionia,
ground dried blood, cottonseed meal
and ground dried fish are the princi-
pal sources of Mtrogen, guano now
being but little used, as the supply is
nearly exhausted, the most soluble
100015 of nitrogen being nitrate of
soda and sulphate of ammonia. The
first is very soluble; so much so that
it will on some soils be carried away
by the rains beyond the reach of the
pints before it can be utilized by
Ilia growing crop, for which reason
the manufacturer prefers to use but
it small ouantity of nitrate of soda
for iinmerjliato benefit, using dried
blood to continue Inc supply of nit-
rogen to the plants.
SULPHATE OF AMMONIA.
is also soluble, but not so much so
as nitrate of soda. Sulphate of am-
monia sooner or later becomes car-
bonate of ammonia in the soil, and
if the land has bee a recently limed
or the soil is calcareous there is a
liability of the ammonia , becoming
dissipated. Sulphate of arainonia
should always be well worked into
the soil, using Inc cultivator instead
of the harrow, especially in sununer,
as it may do harm if left near the
surface, causing smite plants to turn
yellow. It may also be applied
somewhat early, as it is slower in. au
tion than nitrate, the latter 'being
13 ro o dcaSted on the surface and at
oece made available by- rains. For
such crops as clover, 'peas, bea,ns and
COW peas the nitrate should be pre-
ferred-. Nitrate also gives excellent
results on grain M early spring, as
the, yield of straw .and seeds seems
to be increased, though this will de-
pend upon the •soil. as oats, wheat,

may thrive on milic,, but there ar-
rives 0 time when grain and hay are
required. It cannot make satisfac-
tery growth for the farmer if either
is withheld, hence the food must be
balenced—that is, it must comprise
all the elements required by the ani-
mal for its a.dvanceraent. In the use
of nitrogenous fertilizers, therefore,
the plants must be suppkiecl in a
manner to promote growth until the
s ed is matured. If nitrate of soda
only is used there will be an :abun-
dance of nitrogenous foods at the
st,. t, but later the Supply' will di-
ulinish, although the necessary ePtiPse-

unction in this service only,' which
has come down from the times of
Charlemagne, rl'he service, rich, in-
tricate, and expressive, is .not sanc-
tioned, by any -Act of Parliament,
and is purely a creation of the
church, which thus, by immemorial
tradition, consecrates the state in
the person of the sovereign. The
Archbishop of Canterbury crowns
the Ring, but we understand the
.Archbishop of York will crown Inc
Queen.
It may now be of interest to indi-
cate the principal features of the
service itself.
1. On the entrance of the sover-
eign the anthem "I was glad when
they said unto me 300 will go into
Inc house of the Lord" is sung.
2. The recognition of the sover-
eign, who is presented to the people
by the archbishop, who calls on
them to recognize him as lawfully
King although not crowned. This
is followed by the people's acclama-
tion '`God Save the King."
13. The first oblation, when the
sovereign, kneeling at the altar, of-
fers a pall of cloth of gold and an

The above brief sketch ofan an-
cient, intricate and striking service
will give our readers some idea of
the grandeur of the ritual performed
in Inc hastoric Abbesgof Westminster,

A SOLEMN' SCENE.
This account of one of the great-
est functions in the world—unsur-
passed probably by any but the cor-
onation of the Emperors of Russia
at Moscow—a function which in its
main features has been used at the
coronation of all our sovereigns, Can
give no adequate notion of the min-
gled grandeur and solemnity of the
scene. So many years have elapsed
since the 'last coronation that, rnom-
.
paatively few people are living who
can give en account of the function
But many must have heard leant old-
er friends some description of the
thrilling -character of the ceremony,
though the ecclesiastical ,side of it,
prominent as it necessarily is, did
not in the early years of the last
-century attraet snch notice as it
does now,
One of the choristers of the Abbey,
writing to his mother on the day
following. Alm ceremony of the cor-
onation of Queen Victoria, says :
'The service went magnifieently, and
more than repaid 011.1' Constant prac-
tices, The scene surpasses words to
describe, and, indeed, anyone who
had a part, however horiftyle, to take
in it was so anxious that he could
hardly take in all that met the eye.
' The young Queen was, of ,course, the
' cynosure of every eye during Inc ser-
mo11 by the Bishop of London (Dr.
Bleinfleld). The Bishop of Ditrham

'Another noteworthy feature was
when our dean, taking the ampulla
and spoon froin Inc altar held them
ready, Pouring some of 'Cho holy oil
into the spoon,' with which the arch.-
biehop (Dr.'Howley) thee annointed

MONKEY ,STORIES,
India's Sacred Simians, Wise B
boons and an Intelligent
Chimpanzee.
The entellus monkey is the mos‘
sacred of all in India.. It is gray
above and nutty br03V11 below, long-,
legged and active, a thief and an inn.
pudent robber. In one of Inc Indian
cities they became such it nuisance
that the faithful determined to catch
and send away some hundreds. • This
was done, and the holy monkeys were
deported in covered carts and releas-
eil many miles olT. But the monkeyS
were too crever. Haying thoroughly
enjoyed their ride, they all refused
to part with the carts, and, hopping
and grimacing, came leaping all the
way back beside them to the city,
grateful for their outing. One city
obtained leave to kill the'monkeys;
but the eext city thee sued them for
"killing their deceased ancestors."'
In these monkey -infested cities, if
one 111E111 WiS110S te spite another he

The only in animals whi ch thor-
oughly .understand' combination for
defence as well as attack are the ba-
boons, but Brehm, the GerMaii tra-
veller, gives a charming story of gen-
uine courage and self-sacrifice shown
by one. His hunting dogs gave chase
to, a troop which was retreating to,
some cliffs and gave. chase
to a very young onel which
ran up on to a rock, only
just out of reach of Inc dogs. An ,
old male baboon saw this and came
alone to the rescue.Slowly and de-
liberately he descended, crossed the
open space, and, stamping his hands
on the ground, showing his teeth,
and backed by the furious barks of
the rest of the baboons, lie discon-
certed and cowed these ,savageedogs,
climbed on to the rock, pick.eci up the
'baby and carried him back safely. If
the dogs hacl "attacked the old pat-
.
riarch his tribe would probably have
helped. him. Burchell, the naturalist
'after whom Burchell's zebra'. 1S pain-
ed, let his dogs chase a troop. The
baboons ,turned on them, killed one
on the spot by biting through the -
great blood 'vessels of , the
neck and laid bare the ribs
of another. The Cape Dutch
in the ald Colony would rath-
et. let their dogs bait A lion than a
troop of .baboons. The rescue of the
infant chacina, which_ Brehm ' saw
himself, is a remarkable, and, indeed,
the most, incontestable instance of
the exhibition of" courage and self-
sacrifice by a male animal.
Any account of chimpanzees would

Sally, who lived in the London Zoo
for over six years, learned to count
perfectly up to six and less perfectly
to ten: she could also distinguish
white from any other color, but if
other colors were presented her' she
failed, apparently from color-blinded-
ness. Of this ape the late 1)r. G. J.

intelligence was con.spicuous-
lY displayed by the remarkable de-
gree in which she was able to under-
stand the meanMg of spoken lan-
guage—a degree fully equal to that
'presented by an infant a few months
before emerging from infancy, and ,
therefore higher' than that which is '
presented by any brute, so far, at
least, as I have evidence to Show.
She was taught- to count by Means
of picking 'tip, straws and being re-
warded, when the coirect number
asked for had been given, with a •
piece Of fruit. Sally rarely made
mistakes up to live; but above five
and lipto ten, to which one ,of the
keepers endeavored to advance her
educiition, tlie result is uncertain. It
is evident that she understands the
words seven, eight, nine and ten to
betoken numbers higher than those
below them. When she was ,asked for '
any number over six she always gave
501110 number over six and under ten. `
She .sometimes doubled over a straw
to make it present "LW° 011(15, and was'
supposed thus to hasten the attaia-
ment of her task."
