Now England farmers know that
granite boulders arc not good In tilled
land. Yet according to conclusions
which tho Uepurtmoiit of Agriculture
lias drawn from some experiments,

ash, and potash Is so good 'or land that
America Imports potash sa!L from
Germany at a hundred dollars n ton.
The imported salts contain only twin
as much potash per ton ns certain
granites which, It Is thought, may bo
ground at a cost of three dollars a ton
The experiment has not gone far
enough to answer conclusively the
commercial questions, hut already mills
are being erected to attempt the maiiu
facture of rock fertilizer.
There are some facts which cannot
ho reiterated too often. Such are the
facts about railway accidents lu this
country. To know that In a single year
(11)01) one railway employe out of ev
ery 'AZO In the country was killed; to
know that ono out of every nineteo'l
was Injured; to know that thesn mv.
portions have been Increasing material
lj, Instead of declining, hi tho last do
cade, are facts which by themselves,
without argument, show that an 1m
provemont must be compelled. A Dov
er ry stricken country with high freight
rates might apologize for such destruc
tion of life by saying that It could not
afford the necessary safeguards. Tin
United States Is too rich a country tc
itK)logize for itself In that way. Even
if safeguards Increase freight rates .i
trifle their use should bo enforced. And
the figures for the loss of life anions
passengers emphasize the need. Whore
In l.S'.H one passenger In 1,(!(kS,71)1 -win
killed, In 100-1 one In l,;2L,LMt7 lost his
life. Where one In 178,'JIO was injured
in 18!) J, one In 7S,":.' was Injured lu
11)01. These figures and others of slm
liar purjort have been presented tc
the House of Itepresentatives In a re
port from the interstate commerce com
mittee. Is It true that there Is no third
choice V Or. Woods Hutchinson thinks
that there Is not. In an address deliv
ered before the American Medical As
sociation he urges that a man past
middle life ought to put on steam so
as to roach the end more quickly, if a
patient has u possibility of ten years
more of life with proper care or the
certainty of extinction after threo
years of strenuous living, he advises
the strenuous life. Wear out and make
room for the next generation Is his pre
cept. This was the choice of Achilles
In the old story. Sometimes tt Is he
role to live so that the few years, or
days, or minutes before death may bo
full of service. Under other circum
stances It Is cowardice or criminal folly
to hasten the end. A short life and a
merry ono Is a rogue's motto. If tho
principle Is once admitted that a man
may terminate his life wheu he wishes
for no other reason than to avoid the
trouble of living, a wave of suicide may
be expected. Tho Instinct of self-preservation
Is strong lu most persons.
Even when life Is a burden through
sorrow, 111 health or poverty, most
men cling to life. It Is not merely re
ligious training which leads men and
women to abhor self-destruction, It Is
something In the depth of their natures.
This instinct cannot be wrong. To
shorten life by overwork, undertaken
with the express purpose of getting
through sooner, Is no bettor than any
other form of suicide. Those who
dread growing old should read Cicero's
charming essay on old age. To bo sure
his knowledge was largely theoretical,
as ho was cut off by an assassin before
reaching the pleasures of old ago of
which he wrote. P.ut much of the
pleasure of younger years consists In
planning for old ago. One leaves many
things to do In the idle days before the
end. There will be books to read, cities
to see. the now generation to watch,
and love, and admonish, old teachings
to ponder over. A man wtio hits worked
steadily Is entitled to his hours of rest
at the close of day. To remove from
fils thoughts all josslhiliiy of ceasing
to toll before death Is to deprive him
of one of the Joys of living. A man
who loves his work will stick to It ns
long as he has tho strength, but If ho
Is wise he will not murmur when
days of forced Idleness come upon him.
Certainly he will not quicken the pace
so that the end of work and the ond of
life may come together, and that speed
ily. Pesldes wearing out and rusting
out there Is the third possibility of
keeping bright and keen to tho last
without the pressure that brooks. Ono
must not cease to regard life as a sol
emn trust to bo kept, and to bo kept
useful as long ns possible, but ono must
believe that oven apparent usolessnoss
after a life of use has Its place In tho
divine plan.

The treatment of excessively oilj
hair, which is a disease with some,
should bo very judicious. Onco
every two weeks is not too often to
wash the hair when the scalp is beinji
treated for dandruff or any other
trouble.
When choosing a cold cream for use
on the face care should bo exorcised
in selecting one that is not of hair
producing variety.
Fruits may be preserved in the

A splendid and simple shampoo for
the hair is tho beaten yolk-of an egg

If tho ends of the hair seem to
split easily tltey should be trimmed
once in every three months at least.
Add a little powdered borax to the
