"In Ma - last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head and body. We ap
plied various simple remedies without
avail. The seres increased in number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in a few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use of Ayer's Sar
saparilla. In a few days a marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed a more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin
ished, and finally ceased altogether.
The child is livelier, its skin is fresher,
and its appetite better than we have ob
served for months."—Frank M. Griffin,
Long Point, Texas.
"The formula of Ayer's Sarsaparilla
presents, for chronic diseases of almost
every kind, the best remedy known to
the medical world." —D. M. Wilson,

[For the Spectator.]
A TFXAS SIIEFIIERD BOY.
Bal. Is the tender shepherd's name,
His full name Balfour Peeples;
In size what men appear to be
Upon the highest steeples.
Dark Is his hair, his eyes are brown,
The body roundly moulded,
And very much the rose of life
His nine years bave unfolded.
His pony 1b a liny black,
(Her name Is Kitty Crlder),
And with a saddle on her back
You'd wish to be the rider.
A dog attends him day by day,
(A Collie Shep. they call It),
And great would Balfour's sorrow be
Sbould any harm befall it.
Tbe flock Is of Angora goats,
Four hundred silken fleeces.
Whose whiteness line the winter snow,
The solar light increases.
Soon after dawn, tbe little man,
Upon his pony mounted,
Opens the gateway to tbe fold,
And every goat is counted.
Then to the pasture lands they go.
And roam the rolling prairie.
As blithe and free, It seems lo me,
As any mountain fairy.
All day Bal. tends the snow-white herd,
The shepherd's wages earning.
Whether the wind blows soft or chill,
Or summer's sun is burning.
Ten dollars Is his monthly pay.
Ten hundred cents in money,
Beside the equipage In full,—
The saddle and tne pony.
At close of day he leads the charge
Back to the walled enclosure.
And counts them as each passes in
With evident composure.
Thus it Is .very day with Bal,
Who little knows ol playing.
And yet, he is a boy at heart.
While duty's call oneylng.
Sometime r e may be sent to school,
Sometime may be a scholar,
But now bis school-boy days are bought
By the almighty dollar.

TRAPPED,
or
ISWELCOHE VISITORS.
It was a lucky day for me wboa I obtain
ed a position as j suitress of a large apart
ment house, because we had nice rooms
rent free,tbe work was light, and my moth
er was not compelled to take iv sewing as
sbe once did.
Mother was out one night visiting some
friends and I was j■■ st setting th j tea table
when the bell rang. I pulled tbe dour
opener and then stepped into the hall, ex
pecting, of course, that it was my mother.
Two men had entered and cloted the ball
door.
"Gentlemen, whom do you wish lo see?"
I asked tbem
"We don't want to see any one," said
one of the men, aid, stepping toward me,
tbey pushed me back into tbe room I had
just left and locked the door.
I readily divined tbat they weie thieves,
wbo,knowing that I was a.one in the house,
bad entered for tbo purpose of rubbing it.
Absurd ideas flashed through my mind
about how I should esoape and alarm the
neighborhood; but all were impiacticable;
and, in fact, ere I could move or scream,
one of the rnffians had stepped forward and
grasped my wrists.
"Come, Jack," said he, turning to his
companion,"we'll have to tie up this young
lady, or she'll give us trouble."
Suiting the action to tbe word, they pro
ceeded lo tie me up in the most scientific
manner. They fin t tied my hands behind
me, and then, after placing me in a chair,
tied my feet togsther, passing the spare
cord securely around the rungs of the chair.
"Now lady," sa : d the man addressed as
Jack, "will you orcmise not to scream, or
must I gag you?" ( xhibiting an improvised
gag in the shape of a thick wad of cotton
and a bandage as bo spoke.
The sight of this was sufficient. Over
come by terror, I promised to keep a dis
erect silence.
"Now, please tell me where tbe dumb
waiter is, and we will rot trouble you any
further, said the first speaker.
I accordingly dire :ted them to the kitch
en, through whioh passed the large dumb
waiter, or elevator used for conveying coal,
wood, groceries and tbe like to each succes
sive kitcben from the basement clear up to
the roof.
I now knew that they intended to get on
the dumb-waiter ard draw themselves up,
systematically ransicking fl mr after floor
and lowering their plunder to the cellar.
This effected without interruption, their es
cape with tbeir booty would be a compara
tively easy matter.
I heard them get into the elevator box
and begin to pull themselves slowly up.and
then I quickly determined what to do. By
a great effort I drew myself on my feet and
succeeded in placing the cords binding my
hands over the lamp that we used to read by.
The flame burnt my hands cruelly, and 1
nearly fainted with tbe terrible pain, but I
did not allow a moan to escape me, for fear
of alarming the villains to the frustration
of my plan.
It was not more than a minute before my
hands were free, although to me it seemed
ages, and my burnt flesh was peeling off in
great pieces. I dropped back in my chair,
and for a moment sat there completely
stunned with pain and gasping for breath.
Recovering, I soon freed myself from the
ohair and untied my feet. Then I ran
lightly to the elevatDr shaft and peere 1 up
through the darkness toward the roof The
thieves had a light with them, and I saw by
its glow that they vere nearly to the kitch
en door cf the uppermost floor. I reached
in and caught the rope by which they were
pulling themselves up, and with a quick,
hard jerk I had it thoroughly secured by
the iron clamp placed at each opening tat
tbe purpose.
This clamp was different from those in
most elevators. Generally they are smooth,
but this had two sharp rows of teeth, and
when the rope was firmly gripped between
them it was impossible to loosen it without
opening the clamp; so you will see how
completely I had trapped my robbers, bang
ing as tbey did between two floors
I did not wait to hear the horrible curses
that they gave vent to upon discovering
their position, bnt hastened to get ont of tbe
house and summon help. I succeeded in
reaching tbe fron steps and there fainted
away in the arms of a gentleman who was
just entering.
When I recovered I found myself on a
lounge in the young physician's office, with
my hands neatly bandaged, and feeling
quite comfortable from some soothing ap
plication.
Mother was there also, bathing my head
and face, and nearly frightened out of her
senses at the peril I had undergone.
It seemed that mother had grown tired
of seeing tbe procession,had left her friends
to come home, ad bad arrived just in time
to see me fall into the doctor's arms as be
wat entering the house. At his suggestion
she bad examined tbe rooms to learn the
cause of my fright, nnd upon bearing threats
and curses issuing from tbe elevator, bad
at once understood tbe situation aud sum
moned tbe police.
The robbers wero promptly taken into
custody, and were subsequently tried, con
victed and sentenced to long terms in State
prison.
Of course I was made a great heroine,but
I still do not think I did any more than my
duty in protecting tbe property of which 1
was in charge.
This all happened several years apo. I

DOTY FIRST,
or
HIS JUST BEWABD.
Though young Ben Raymond, the captain
of tbe ship Canton, had toilsd many years
to become owner of the vessel he now com
manded, he had sacrificed bis property and
even his reputation to save two lives.
It happened in this way. Under pressure
of a gale the Canton was driven in close
proximity to tbe rocky shores of Patagonia,
but by careful seamanship it might easily
bave escaped, had tbe captain not discover
ed through his glass a tragic scene transpir
ing in one of the rocky headlands of tbe
coast. A man and a woman were standing
on a crag, and not far away some hideous
savages in cinoes were seen approaching
them with warlike yells.
When life was in jeopardy Capt Raymond
thought of nothing else. He hastily man
ned two boats with bis crew and succeeded
in repnlsicg tbe savages and resoning tbe
two , on tbe rook. It was at a heivy
cost, however, for the Canton, left to her
self, was driven upon the rocks and sank
before the Captain's very eyes.
The rescued man then told bis story, first
stating tbat bis name was Barton.
Fonr days before be had sailed from Val
divia, Chili, where he bad been for eight
month? with his daughter, ou a visit to a
biother in bnsiness tbere. He had taken
passage aboard a steamer for San Carios,
wbere be had been informed he wonld find
a good vessel to carry him and his child to
their native city of New Yerk.
A few days after the little steamer sailed
the Chilian mate quarrelled with his cap
tain. Tbey came to bl >ws, and the mate
almost kill, d bis adversary. He then took
cnmmaad of tbe craft, aud changed her
course. What his intentions were the two
nassengers could not tell; but they believed
tbat he would avoid San Carlos until he
should discover whether or not tbe captain
wonld recover from bis injuries. Mr. Bar
ton remonstrated; and, not wishing to be
burdened with bim and bis daughter, the
unprincipled mate finally set tbem ashore,
at. midnight, on tbe desolate island from
wbich Ben had rescued them. In what di
rection tbe steamer went after tbey were
put ashore they could not tell, as she show
ed no light and it was dark at tbe time. Mr.
Barton was of the opinion, however, that
the mate had seen the light of the Canton
in tbe distance before taking tbem to tbe
shore, as it was only six hours later when
tbey were picked up.
Ben felt much sympathy for father and
daughter and exerted himself to make them
comfortable.
As soon as he joined the launch both
boats kept along together.
They tossed about on the ocean all night,
but at dawn a large ship was seen and tbey
were finally taken aboard of her. Sbe
proved to be tbe North Light, bound to
New York.
Ben was much in the society of Ida Bar
ton during the passage. He loved her and
he had reason to believe tbat sbe shared his
affection.
It chanced, from something said a fen
days before the ship arrived at New York,
that be learned for the first time tbat Mr.
Barton was an oil merchant and wealthy.
Previous to this Beu had informed him that
he loved Ida, and asked his consent to make
her bis wife when his business affairs should
become more prosperous.
"You shall have my answer in time,"
Mr. Barton had replied, with a peculiar
look.
Now the young man was in despair. Poor
as he was, what hope was there of his ever
being in a situation to win the band of tbe
rich man's daugbtei?
When tbe vessel reached New York and
be parted with the girl and her father, tbe
latter did not even iuvite him to call and
see him.
Weeks passed. Ben made vain efforts to
obtain command of a ship. The persons to
whom be applied bad heard of tbe loss of
the Canton, and did not wish to run any
risk. True, the loss had been caused by
bis going to tbe rescue of human lives, but
it was a loss all the sami Finding tbat be
could not even obtain tbe situation of sec
ond or third officer, be had actually resolv
ed to ship before the mist, when Mr. Barton
called upon him.
"I have had my eye upon you, sir," ho
said. "You have been trying to get com
mand of a ship?"
••It is true, sir."
"And I ha c been busy getting one ready
for you. You must know tbat Ia n a ship
o.- ii.t as well as an oil merchant," be
added, noticing Ben's surprise. "And lam
going to put you in command of the Triton
—oue of my best, vessels. C Jine with me
and look at her."
He conducted his overjoyed companion to
the Triton.
Sbe was even a handsomer craft than the
one Ben bad owned aid lost. Every ring
bolt shone like silver. Tbe wheel was of
ebony, inlaid with ivory She had clipper
bows. Her masts, tall and tapering, were
as smooth as glass and provided with a
brand new set of sails.
"What do you think of her?" inquired
the merchant.
"The most perfect .boauty I ever saw!"
cried Ben.
"Well, sir, she is yours—notonly to com
mand, but to own."
"Sir, I cannot think of accepting so great
a gift!"
"Nonsense! Sbe is yours, with everything
in her. Step into the cabin, sir."
Ben entered the cabin to find himself face
to face witb beautiful Ida Barton.
Then the meaning of her father's remark
flashed on bis mind.
The ship aod everything in it his!
Ida was in the ship, aud Mr. Barton must
have meant that the young captain could
have ber, too!
He was sure of this, when, witb the joy
ful cry of "Dear Ben!" the blushing girl
fell upon his breast.
The lovers were married soon after, and
Ben could not refuse tbe vessel as a wedding
gift from his father-in-law. The happy
capta.n, accompanied by his pretty wife,
performed many profitable voyages aboard
the craft and in time he became almost as
rich as Mr. Barton.

Charitable Thoughts.
It seems strange that there should be so
little charitable thought in the world when
one considers bow much of it nearly every
one requires to palliate his wrong-doings.—
When a man or woman is accused of sin
the natural impulse is to censure before
waiting for proof tbat the individual is
guilty and without any consideration of
mitigating circumstances. The jury of
public opinion acts upon a different prin
ciple from tbat required to be observed by
the legal jury. An acousation having been
made and supported by ex parte testimony,
the accused is assumed to be guilty, and
required if be would be acquitted to prove
his innocence. He is, moreover, subjected
to a further injustice. His denial, disproof
or defense will receive much less attention
than the accusation. Years afterwards it
will be remembered that he was accused by
people who cannot recall to memory tbe
conclusion of tbe case. Tbere was "some
thing wrong" about him; that is neyer
forgotten, and he is left long after bis in
nocence may have been proved with tbat
vague smirch upon his reputation. But as
suming guilt to have been proved or ac
knowledged, tbere is abundant room for
charitable thought to find ont reason and
excuse for the wrong-doing, or, if not ex
cuse, rational explanation of its causes. It
is quite the fashion for people to demand
justice upon offenders, though if justice
sbould be done tbey would not 'scape
whipping. It seems, indeed, as though
some who are most severe adopted an
austere behavior to divert suspicion from
themselves. The number of wrong-doers
in the world is vastly greater than tbe
small number constituting tbe criminal
class. It is the wrong-doers not yet so
much addicted to bad ways as to be classed
with criminals who need the charitable
thought and help of tbeir neighbors.—
They may have been sorely tempted
or bave sinned in a moment of sodden pas
sion, to be deeply repented thereafter; they
may have good dispositions, good inten
tions, but be easily led astray and just as
easily led aright. For all such wrong-doers
the kindly sympathy and encouragement of
stronger and better men and women are
needed to reclaim them and help them to a
better life. Only those who have suffered
temptation can fully realize the strength of
the excuses that may be offered by those
who have temporarily fallen, but are am
inos to amend their ways. The descent
from strict virtue or uprightness is usually
by a grade so gentle as to be unnoticed un
til exposure and disgrace bring forcibly to
view the length of the way. No man or
woman properly trained and of good name
plunges it-to vice and wrecks reputation
and character in a day. Nor will any man
or woman so well trained as to feel disgrace
refuse the charitable,kindly efforts of others
towards reclamation. Too often, however,
they meet only with stern looks and re
bukes from Pharisees, and are driven to
farther wrongdoing, until it becomes too
late to save them from a ciiminal oareer
The eravefat offenses may be pardoned
when followed by sincere repentance and an
amended life, yet there is little disposition
to excuse venial faults under the same co i
ditions. Many people who should from
their training, standing and repntation do
otherwise seem to gloat over the disgrace
or downfall of others, accept the merest
rumor of such a thing as truth, ignore
denials, help to Bpread scindal, and by
their intolerance make it extremely difficult
far the unfortunate or guilty fellow to re
cover his standing. Like Shylock, they
need to be reminded:
'That In the course of none of us
Should see salvation; we do pray for mercy.
And that same prayer doth teach us all to
render
The deeds of mercy."
In contrast with these are good people
wbo charitably seek to suppress scandal, to
remove temptations and help their fellow
men to better lives. Tbey, too, love purity,
honesty, justice, but they are charitable in
their thoughts and seek to do the deeds of
meicy. Tbey are slow to believe wrong of
one who has hitherto been of good repute,
they are ready to listen to explanations tbat
may belp to excuse; they welcome signs of
repentance, and gladly assist tbe sinner to
recover bis good name. It is needless to
argue that they follow the right course.
The statement, divorced of personal ap
plication, appeals to the heart of right
minded people as that which is dictated by
worldly morality as well as religious te'ch
ing. But even right-minded people need to
be reminded of it occasionally because they
are so much inclined to forget it when 'hey
sbould give it personal application by help
ing some poor fallen brother to recover his
stand iug aod lead a better life. The habit
of charitable thought carries with it great
personal satisfaction, for tbe more the sub
jet of mankind is studied the more evident
it becomes tbat man is not so inherently
bad as be would appear to those ready to
accept accusation as proof of guilt, but tbat
many who become criminals or outcasts
might be saved for better lives by such
charity and mercy as we do pray for.—

Giants of Starry Space.
One of the most beautiful stars in the
sky, and one that has been admired in
every age of the world, is tbe star called
Vega in the constellation of the Lyre. It
is remarkable for the exceedingly delicate
tint of bine in its light. This star may be
seen almost directly overhead at midnight
io tbe middle of the summer, and with its
soft radiance it forms one of tbe most
charming features of the celestial land
scapes at that season. In the early winter
evenings it flashes low in thd northwest.—
But, wbea we' look at Vega through tbe
megascopic eyes of the parallax hunter, it
changes from a delicately beautiful star to
a most portentous Cyolops of space. The
distance of Vega, according to Dr. E kin's
measurement, is about ninety seven light
year?, or more than six million times the
distance of the sun. But the amount of
light that reaches the earth from Vega is
about one-forty thonsand millionth part of
the amount the: we get from tbe sun, and
aince we know that light varies inversely as
the square of the distance, it is easily seen
that Vega really pours forth more light
than nine hundred suns like ours com
bined! Its beat is undoubtedly in the same
proportion, so that if the earth sbould come
as near to Vega as it is to the sun we
should wither into cinders before the fierce
blue gush of its overpowering rays. If
Vega is the centre of a system of worlds,
tbey must either revolve at enormous
distances from it, or else their inhabitants
must possess tbe heat-defying powers of
salamanders.
But we can go on to a still mightier orb
than Vega. Let your eye run along the
bending handle of the Great Dipper, and,
following the same curve beyond the last
star in the handle, sweep across the sky un
til it is arrested by a bright golden yellow
star of the first magnitude. This ia the
famous Arcturus, celebrated among men
since Job's time at least. The striking
color of the star, its brillancy, and its soli
tary situation as if withdrawn into a place
apart from the general host of heaven, all
combine to make H a cynosure of the
northern sky. Arcturus has yielded "
parallax within the past year that places it
at the distance of no less than 180 light
years, or 11,400,000 times as far as the
sun. It follows that Arcturus is equal in
radiating power to more than 3,000 suns
like ours. It is but fair to say that other
estimates of the light received from thi
star make Arcturus equal to at least 6,000
suns! Yet Arcturus may be surrounded by
planets too, but how shall we form a con
ception of the life forces, the physioal
powers, the unnumbered activities of organ
ized existence in operation within the blaz
ing precincts of such a solar system as that?
Astronomy has long since accustomed us to
think of the earth as an insignificant atom
of creation, but in tbe presence of this Arc
turian wonder our whole planetary system,
with the glorious orb that lights and gov
erns it, fades away before our exalted vision
into a flicker of fireflies against the dark
ness.
Even the Pole star, that speck of light in
moonless nights that sailors have steered
tbeir ships by, is a sun nearly a hundred
times as luminous as ours. Tbe marvellous
"runaway star," that astronomers have
discovered under the bowl of the Great
Dipper, a star that is flying through space
so fast that nobody can imagine how it got
started or where it is going, although it is
far too small to be visible to the naked eye,
is yet thirty times as great an illuminator
of space as the sun; and wbo shall say that
it does not bear with it in its flight' orbs
that play as great a part in the scheme of
creation and of lite as that which Satan
detected : .
" fast by, hangtng in a golden chain.
This pendant world in bigness as a star
Of smallest magnitude, close by the moon.
If we wish to behold afar off a sun equal
to ours, we must turn to the southern
heavens, to tbe constellation of Ophiucbus,
wbere, in a little fifth-magnitude star that
the eye would probably overlook bnt for
the fact that several other faint twinklers
grouped netr it combine their feeble rays
to catch the Bight, we may look upon the
peer of thq blazing day god that rules our
tract of space. Thus would be be diminish
ed in glory if removed to a corresponding
distance.
The Way the Money Gues.
Ex Speaker Carlisle has given to the
Washington correspondent of tbe Baltimore
Sun an estimate of tbe grand total of ap
propriations called f>r by bills now pending
io Congress, which is appalling to contem
plate. Pension bills alone are now under
consideration wbich, if made laws, would
add over $708,000,000 to the $100,009,000
now appropiiated annually for that pur
pose. These a'oce would wipe ont the sur
plus and leave a deficit of ever $600,000,-
-000. Then there is tbe bill to refund the
direct tax, which will call for $17,000,000; a
bill fir steamship subsidies calling for $6,-
-000,000 for tbe first year, aod $9,000,000
for each subsequent year for ten years; a
coast-defence bill calling for $21,000,000; a
naval construction bill calling for $300,000,-
-000; the Blair bill calling for $77,000,000;
and other minor measures for emptying the
Treasury by less wholesale process. Mr.
Carlisle says trnly tbat these measures are
introduced in accordance with the Republi
can pledges in the last national campaign,
aod that the party must choose between
breaking those pledges and imposing addi
tional taxes upon the people or increasing
the pnblic debt. The Republicans have, as
he points out, the power to pass all these
measures if tbey wish to. The party has,
he says, "the Senate, the House, and the
President, and the rules have been so
changed that the Democrats oan neither de
feat nor delay any measure that tbe major
ity may see proper to introduce. The pen
sion bills can be taken up any day and pass
ed and so can all tbe others. If the repeated
pledges made to the soldiers and others by
the Republican party are not redeemed by
this session of Congress, it will be simply
because tbat party does not want to redeem
them and does not intend to do so."
Tbe New York Eoening Post, comment
ing upon there staitling figures, says they
give great force to "Corp."; Tanner's cele
brated prayer, "God help the surplus!"
And adds: "If only a small portion of the
pending bills become laws, the surplus will
be beyond the reach of prayer, for it will
be wiped out so completely that a large de
ficit will tske its place.— Lynchburg Vir
ginian.
"Isn't that a pretty dish to set before the
King?" The Republican party is driving
the country to destruction with post-haste
oelerity. Great is the Republican party
and Satan is its prophet. Its propositions
of expenditure are sufficient to make the
people tremble and stand aghast.

must have been supplied in the food. As
we may suppose tbat foods vary to amounts
of fertilizing elements they carry with them,
we may hold it as correct that tbe kind of
food given to our farm animals governs the
kind of manure we get from tbem. Tola
is the basic principle to be borne in mind in
considering tbe subject. Tbe three ele
ments of fertilizers that we care for are
nitrogen, phosbphoric acid and potash. Of
our feeding stuffs, grains and concentrated
foods like cotton-seed meal and oil-meal
contain the greatest amount of these three
fertilizing constituents, end straw contains
the least. Starch and woody matter are
not fertilizing elements in themselves.
The next point to be borne in mind is
that each animal we feed appropriates to it
self of the elements of fertility in accord
ance with Its nature and wants, so tni* if
we supply the same amount of feed to dif
ferent animals we will not get exactly the
same amount of fertility in tbe axcremaot
of each. A little reflection will point ont
tbe reason for these differences: A grown
horse, which does not increase in we .-.lit
but each day wears out as much of his 1> *ly
in labor as was built up by the food, t >-jat
evidently give out in the excrement al he
fertilizers in the food supplied bim.
colt, or a horse gaining in weight, evid
ly retains soma of these elements in fie
body, as they go to help make up the .i
--creased weight. A cow giving milk trans
fers some of ij c nitrogen to the milk in
shape of caseine, »uu some of the pcili
and phosphoric acid in the ffhipa of ash;
these are for the building up of tbe muccia
and bone of her calf. Evidently, then, ex
crement of tbe cow giving milk does not
contain all of tbe fertilizing elements
plied in the toad, since a portion of thei
carried off in the milk. Sheep rag ' a
nitrogen, potash, etc., for the wool and
yolk tbat accompanies it, so that tbe n lo
on of sheep, also, does not quite can
all of the fertilizing material iv the food.
Fattening steers gain in weight, but the
increase ia almost wholly tallow, and there
is not nitrogen, phosphoric acid or pot.rsrj
in that, so the steer gives practically all of
the fertilizing elements in bis excrement.
The growing pig, like the young of other
animals, takes out of tbe food fertiliz ug
elements for his frame and muscle, but
when grown takes out very little, for ibe
same leason that tbe fattening steer take*
little. In all cises, however, the amount
of fertilizing elements extracted from the
food by onr farm animals is less than mo. -
would suppose. The bulk of tbe food con
sumed is made up of carbo-hydrates, which
are burnt np in the body or converted into
fat, and carbo-hydrates are valueless as
manure. We may allow that growing ani
mals take out something like tan per cent.
of tbe fertility from the feed, while milch
cows take out from twenty to twenty five
per cent. We bave, then, a second prop
tion to be borne in mind, viz: That the
amount of fertility taken ont of the fo .
varies from nothing with animals that gain
nothing in weight, such as work horses and
grown cattle,!up to milch cows, which place
from twenty to twenty-five per cent, of the
fertilizing elements in tbe milk.
Tho third important point toberemeu
bered is tbat a large part of the fertility is
in the urine. In a general way it is fair to
estimate that three-fourths of the fertilizing
elements under consideration are in the
liquids and only one-fourth in the solid ex
crement. This being rue in spice need be
occupied in showing the importance of ear
ing the liquid part of tbe manure.

"Last summer we stayed at an out of
the-way country place, through which the
trains ran but once a day " said a woman
artist yesterday. 'We,'is Beitha You Hil
lern, the artist, and myself.
"Due morning we started to the town to
mail our letters, as we usually did on the
train. We ohose the railroad track as be
ing the most direct route to town. We b.d
got in sight of tbe statiou when we heard
the noise of tbe approaching train behind
as. 'We can't reach tbe station in time to
mail our letters now,'l said to Miss Yon
Hillern.
"Yes, we cm, too," she said, catching
me by the hand; "don't get off the track,
but run."
"In an instant we were flying like deer
down the track, with the train close behind
as. Thy whistled and whistled and whis
tled and whistled, but on we ran, keeping
straight on the traok. We were still a
good many rods from the station, and I
would have jumped to oie side sive that
Miss Yon hillern still held ray band and
would not let me go. 'Keep on,' she pant
ad. They were slowing down and the sta
tion was getting nearer.
"Idou'tknow quite how we did it, but
we reached tbe station jist a few inches in
front of tbe cow-catcher, wbile all the peo
ple rushed out to be in at tbe death if there
was to be any.
"Why didn't you get off the track?"
asked a man, rushing up wildly; did yo i
lose your heads?"
' "Oh, no!" said Miss Vm Hillern. as
coolly as her gasping would allow, as she
handed her letters up to tho post .'. oler*,
"we wanted to keep tho tr..in back till we
could mail our letters. That waa all."--
