"Can't you take beeswax?" inquired the rustic "Voo bjiM the Knulre. The wax was brought in and upon being weighed was found to be worth just CO cents. "Well." said the anxious groom, ' tie the knot an I'll fetch more beeswax next week." "No, sir; I don't trust; that is against the rules of the office." Slowly the disappointed youth turn e dto go out, saying, "Come, Sal, let's go." "I say, mister." answered Sal, with a woman's wit; "can't you marry us as far as the wax wil Igo?" "Yes, I can and I will." responded the judge, laughing, and he did. De troit Free Press. Try Graln-O.

The most prevailing afflictions that for a century have been engaging the most scientific skill of the medical world are rheumatism, neuralgia, ca tarrh, asthma, la grippe and their kin dred ailments.

It was the fate of Abraham Lincoln to be grievously misjudged. The impression that he was an Illiterate, boorish fron tiersman, given to rough jokes, was one widely disseminated by the opponents of the political movement of which he was the leader, and it died slowly even after he had given ample proof of the greatness of his qualities. The world was gradually coming to a juster appreciation of the man. when the assassin's bullet which laid him low. swept away the lingering clouds which still obscured his command ing figure and revealed him for what he was: one of the world's heroes, who be longs not to a country or to a time, but to the whole human race. In two famous publications. Harper's Weekly and London Bunch, he was cari catured without mercy. The cartoons in the latter were drawn by John Tenniel then, as now, the master draughtsman of Punch: and looked back upon, through the clarifying perspective of ever thirty years they seem singularly point less. Doubtless to contemporaries they had a different countenance. The serie came to a sudden end in the issue of May C. 1S63. with a cartoon show!n? Britann'a placing a wreath on Lincoln's bier, beside which were two mourners Columb'a. iep resented by a female figure, and a negro, his broken manacles beside him typify ing his freedom. In this issue the nob'e lines which we reproduce above were published, and no manlier apology was ever made. The pcem was written by Torn Taylor, one of the most brilliant members of the staff of Punch. He be came the editor of that journal 'n 1S7I. and died In 1S50 at th aqe of C:.-Ed. I'aprt Kesulntloiic. There are few countries in which travelers require passports in order to promote convenience and security. In Brazil and Venezuela a passport must be shown to the officials before one is allowed to leave the country for a foreign port. This is a vexatious measure enforced apparently for the sake of enabling a few officials to col lect Email fees. In Cuba passports are produced whenever trailers arrive or depart. This precaution is considered necessary in view of the political con dition of unre1 prevailing in the island. In Russia passport regulations are enforced with great stringency. No traveler is allowed to enter the empire until he has obtained a passport and convinced the Russian consular offi cers at the port from which he sails that he is neither a Roman Catholic priest nor a Hebrew. The question ordinarily asked is: "What is your re ligion?" but it is designed to provide against the entry of either of these two classes. When the traveler arrives at a Rus sian port with a passport which has been properly viseed and countersign ed at a consular office. It is critically examined by a police officer, and duly registered. At the entrance of the hotel another police officer takes possession of the document, and in the course of twenty-four hours returns it with a permit for a limited residence in the country. When the traveler departs for anoth er city in the empire he must have the passport countersigned by the police. This process continues until he reaches the frontier, which he cannot cross un less the passport has been viseed and stamped by the police. Not Infre quently tourists are stopped at the frontier and subjected to serious incon venience because they have neglected to comply with the police regulations respecting passports. All this red tape causes annoyance and irritation among tourists, who are apt to overlook the fact that Russians as well as foreigners are compelled to obc-srve these police regulations. It is the business of the police to know where everybody lodges. A permit Is required if a native removes from one quarter of a town to another. Every body is registered by the police when he arrives or departs, and foreigners when they are in Russia are dealt with on equal terms with permanent resi dents. The same system prevails in Tur key, where it is not practicable for a foreigner to travel without a passport. Elsewhere in Europe passports are not required. They are relics of a bygone period when communications between countries were slow and infrequent. Now that all nations are drawn to gether by the ties of constant inter course a passport is out of date except in countries like Russia, Turkey and Cuba, where it fits into the police sys tem of registration. For the Soldier's Wheel. A Williamstown (N. Y.) genius has invented an attachment for bicycles that he thinks will render them o? great service in military maneuvers. The attachment consists of two stee! supports that drop to the ground when a brakelike appliance ou the handle bar is lightly touched. Upon these cupports the bicycle rests, and the rider can come to a standstill and use his hands for any purpose without dis mounting. When not in use the sup ports are folded up against the front forks of the machine. The inventor claims that by the use of his attach ment bodies of military wheelmen can come to a sudden halt and fire on the enemy and reload their rifles without dismounting. XnpnlcoiTs Ltt Words. On his death bed Napoleon expressed his conviction that England would end like the proud republic of Venice. With perfect composure, he gave his last directions: "I desire that you will take my heart, put it in spirits of wine and carry it to Parma to my dear Maria Louise: you will tell her that I never ceased to love her, and relate to her every particular respecting my death upon this miserable and dreary reck. You will tell my mother and family that the great Napoleon expired in the most deplorable state, deprived of everything, abandoned to himself and to his glory, and that he bequeath ed with his dying breath to all the reigning families of Europe the horror and opprobrium of his death." The second codicil of his will con tained the direction which was after ward complied with: "It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people whom I love so well." On the 5th of May. 1S21, he who had for years kept all Europe in a state of feverish excitement, terminated his earthly career. After lying in state two days, the body was deposited in a coffin com posed first of tin lined with white satin, which having been soldered, was enclosed in another of mahogany, a third of lead, and the whole in a fourth of maghogany secured with iron crews. After the c?remony, an enor mous stone was lowered over the body, resting on a stone wall so as to es cape the coffin. On the 12th of May Louis-Philippe commanded that the ashes cf Napoleon be conveyed to France. In his com munication he said: "Henceforth France, alone, will possess all that re mains of Napoleon; his tomb, like his fame, will belong to none but his ccuntrj." At 11 o'clock Dec. 15 the first can non was heard announcing that the remains of the emperor had reached French ground. Amid the vast as semblage the body was borne by twenty-four seamen to its last resting place in the Hotel de Invalides. So closed the eventful career of the great Napoleon, whose memory can only perish with the records of the world. III Rent. In the life cf Whittier it is told how in the days of the civil war, an old Quaker, from the New Hampshire hills, came down for an interview with the good poet. This Green Mountain disciple of Fox was the owner of a sturdy lot of oak trees. The govern ment had set its eye upon them and wanted to buy them. The Quaker knew that the purpose of the bargain must be to get timber for the new warships that were build ing. He haidly knpv whether a sale or such a purpose was consistent with tha gospel of peace. Whittier, either seeing that the man's mind was pretty thoroughly made up to the bargain, or else con sidering that there was such a thing as pushing a good creed too far, would only say: "Well, friend, if thee dost sell any timber to the United States, be sure that it is all sound." The cak from the Quaker's farm was in the Kcarcarg? when sh fought thf Alabama to the finish. "What i unconventional. Undo Jim?" "Unconventional? Well, it is being too gocd natured to get vexed with people who haven't any manners." WW FARM AND GAEDEN. MATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS. Some 7p-to-Dato nints About Cultiva tion of the Soil anij. Yield Thereof Horticulture, Vlticalturo and Florl caltur. Soil Inoculation. HE Alabama expe- SSl riment station has been making some experiments in in oculating the soil with tubercles that are peculiar allies of the leguminous plants. A full re port Is given in bulletin S7. The summary is as fol AT 4 fc 'Vi A ' !& &Cxi J . $ t-'zrr"' "'i.. .- lows: Cow peas, clovers, vetches and other plants, known as leguminous plants or legumes, when plowed under enrich the soil by adding nitrogen, a large proportion of which they have obtain taincd from the atmosphere. The enlargements or tubercles on the roots are the means by which the free nitrogen of the air is made available to leguminous plants. If these tubercles are wanting on a leguminous plant, the nitrogen of the air is unavailable to that plant, just as it is to cotton, grass, end all other higher plants that are not leguminous. On some soils these normal tubercles do not develop on the roots of such le gumes as have never before been grown in that locality. The growth of tub ercles can be induced by adding cer tain germs to the soil, a process which is called inoculation. In Alabama the cow pea is the most generally satisfactory renovating plant for summer growth. There is also need for winter growing leguminous plants, such as hairy vetch and crimson clov er, to occupy the land in winter be tween two sale crops, in order to de crease washing and leaching of the toil and to add vegetable matter rich in nitrogen. Hairy vetch, without fertilizer, yield ed on a field where this plant had been repeatedly grown 17,765 pounds of green forage, or 4,174 pounds of hay per acre. On a field where hairy vetch had never before been grown and where the fertilizer applied contained phos phoric acid and potash, but no nitro gen, the yield was only 233 pounds ot hay per acre; on an adjoining and sim ilar plot, the seed for which were in oculated with earth from an old vetch field, the yield of hay was 2,540 pounds, an increase of 995 per cent following a treatment which cost nothing except a small amount of labor. On the in oculated plot the plants were well sup plied with tubercles, while on the plot not treated the plants were bare of tubercles. A germ fertilizer, intended to make available the free nitrogen of the air by inducing the growth of tubercles on legumes grown in soils not already 6tocked with the proper forms of germ life, was purchased lu Germany and used in Auburn in pot experiments with hairy vetch, Canada field peas and crimson clover. Inoculation with this germ fertilizer or nitrogen greatly increased the yields of all cf these plants as compared with untreated plants. This increase in thp weight of in oculated plants, after thorough dry ing, was as follows: Hairy vetch, iucreascd by S9 per cent. Canada field peas, increased by 13S per cent. Crimson clover (young plants), in creased by 14G per cent. Lupins (tested on only one soil), not Increased. Germ fertilizer prepared for vetch, was effective on Canada field peas. Inoculation material procured with out cash outlay acted like nitrogen, and greatly increased the yields of hairy vetch and alfalfa. Soil fro.n a field where a given le guminous plant has recently been suc cessfully grown is an effective inocula ting material for the same kind of plant when first sown in a soil not al ready naturally supplied with the re quired form of germ life. The dust adhering to the seed of bur clover was an effective inoculating material for alfalfa; the increase in the first cutting of alfalfa hay follow ing this inoculation was S3G per cent. Inoculation for cow peas and lesped eza was apparently unnecessary in the soils used in these experiments. In or near all of these soils these two plants have been growing for years. Hence we may Infer that these soils have been previously inoculated uy germ-laden dust or by some other natural agency. In a soil which for many years had borne no leguminous plants, tubercles developed without intentional inocula tion on hairy vetch, Canada field peas, crimson clover and lupins, as well as on cow peas and lespedeza. This soil was more nearly independent of in oculation than any other soil tested, and yet even on this soil the increase in the weight of inoculated plants over plants not inoculated was 3S per cent, with hairy vetch 5S per cent, with Can ada field peas and 79 per cent with crimson clover. Many soils are naturally inoculated as regards the most commonly grown leguminous plants and hence are not benefited by artificial inoculation. SIori About the San .Toso Scale. Bulletin SC. Alabama Experiment Station: In the inspection of various nurseries made in Alabama this spring several facts of interest regarding this pest were noted. In nurseries where all stock was kept moving every tiiree years, there were no cases of evident Infestation among the nursery trees. Although on some of these places ap ple trees in old orchards and the old wood of pear grafting stock over five years of age, bore the San Jose scale. 1 was told by experienced nurserymen that it would be entirely practicable to move also all blocks of grafting stock every three years. On the places above mentioned this plan will be fol lowed, and the orchards removed i;n tire. All of which will practical pre clude the possibility of the San Jose or any other scale gaining a footlnld in these nurseries. Acting on my ad vice all the nurserymen visited (and most of the larger nurseries in the state were inspected) have undertaken thorough methods of fumigation. Thus, while the first move will protect the nurserymen the fumigating will still further protect purchasers of stock. Food Plants Other Than Fruit Trees. The question is often asked as to what trees other than the fruit trees, the San Jose scale will attack. Web Bter, in Ohio, has found it on Bass wood or Linden. Sumac, Elm, Walnut, Willow, several Poplars. Catalpa. Chestnut, Osage. Orange and Snowball A specimen of Cotoneaster. ccrninj; from a Long Island nursery and sent to Webster for examination, was found to be very badly infested. Varieties of Fruits Possessing Im munity. Inquiries have frequently come to me as to whether there were any varieties of the various fruits pos sessing immunity from the attacks of this pest I have heard of but one, and that wa3 reported by Webster. He says: "The Early Richmond Cherry I believe to be exempt from attack, as I have found trees whose branches in terlocked with those of a pear that had been killed by the scale, yet the cherry was uninfested; and in two cases that came under my observation, where this variety of cherry had been grafted upon mahaleb stock, and shoots had sprung up from below the graft, the shoots were badly infested with scale, while none at all could be found on the trees themselves. Who Should Kngaj-e In Dairying. There is a great deal of reckless and extravagant advice given in regard to the advantages of dairying over other phases of agricultural production, says a writer in Southern Farm Gazette. While good profits are being made by many dairymen it remains a fact that a great deal of the dairying practiced does not pay as well as some other lines of work might. Where a man lives near a good market and posses ses the ability to properly manage a dairy we know of no business that of fers more pleasant or profitable v:ork; but few men are fitted for dairy work and not many women are likely to fancy the drudgery and attention re quired to operate a dairy successfully. The man who engages in the dairy business and expects to make a living out of it without work is almost cer tain to be disappointed. With good facilities, careful and constant atten tion and a special fitness for the busi ness a fair profit may be expected. On the other hand while some are sure to make a success of it under the most adverse conditions others will as cer tainly fail under the most favorable circumstances. Where dairying can be made most profitable and where it should be most encouraged Is on the farms where mixed farming is prac ticed. A few cows can be made to pay handsomely on any ordinary farm and besides will afford one of the rarest but greatest luxuries, good milk and butter for family use. Long: Inland Cranberries. The cranberry growers of the east ern end of Long Island are now har vesting the crop of 1S97, which prom ises to be an unusually large one. The berries are also very fine, being large and sound and have au excellent flavor. This section of the island has quite a number of marshes, most all of them being under constant cultivation and growing large quantities of berries. Long Island cranberries always find a ready market and at a good figure. The price pii this year will undoubtedly be at least $3 per bushel. A cranberry marsh needs little or no fertilizer, the most essential point being to see that the marsh is flooded with water at the right time and drawn off with equal precision. In consequence of tfc:s there is very little labor and less still of capital needed in conducting a cran berry marsh after the ground is pre pared, the plants set out, and the marsh is in growing condition. This, of couse, is expected during the harvest ing period, wheu for the space of six weeks or two months the owner is busy looking after his crop. The largest cranberry grower on the island is Syl vester N. Woodhull of Rivcrhcad.

Ripe apples are especially healthy and children may eat them without danger. Seme doctors say that an ap ple at bedtime produces sleep, says Central States Fruit Grower. Pears are more savory than apples, but not so healthy, unless cooked. Prunes have medical qualities which cannot be denied. They are better cooked however. Apricots are also more healthy cooked than raw. Peaches are very healthy. The most healthy of all fruit, however, are grapes. Con sumption has been cured by grapes when every other remedy has failed. Cherries may be eaten, as they fre quently restore health and strength to the weak. Strawberries, though a cold fruit, have a virtue of healing rheuma tism. Gooseberries and currants are best cooked. Figs are also excellent. They were in great favor with ancient Roman ladies, who always ate them before breakfast. Pineapples are said to be the best cure for dyspepsia yet known. Nuts of all kinds are indi gestible. Oranges are also excellent as a cure for dyspepsia. Lenions produce cheerfulness and prolong life. MHsoiiri State Horticultural Socletv.

An appoint ment of a veterinary inspector at New York in behalf of Australia was made by New South Wales to facilitate the shipment of cattle, sheep and swine to that country from New York only. The department is further informed that American-bred merinos are the "premium" sheep in Australia, and that the breeding and shipping of such sheep to that market is becoming more and more popular. Local Adaptabilities. Professor L. H. Bailey says: "It is possible that each distinct type of fruit varieties has pref erences of land and location, and it will be the business of coming genera tions to determine what these pecul iarities are."
