Sheep live all the year on the range, and there are no wild animals tbst prey upon them. The only expense involved is in driving them dp, marking the lambs and cheating. It is only a comparatively short time since the culture of hops was intro duced in the State of Washington, and yet the State now claims to hive the largest hop plantations in the world. In the Yakima Valley there is a plan tation embracing 600 acres, and several tracts in that State as well as in Cali fornia cover more than 33') acres. The Congress of Norwegian Physi cians, which recently met at Chris tiania, instead of hiring a hall held its sessions on a large steamer which moved from place to place, so that they had fresh air and change of scene while they were holding their delibera tions. Thus, comments the New York Independent, they were hygienio as well as scientific, and possibly less de pleted in purse than if lodged in hotels. South western North Carolina shelters the most important and prosperous band of Indians in the East. They are Cherokees, and the band is an incor porated company. Their whole num ber is a little over 1500, and they in habit a beautiful mountain region. Although they retain their aboriginal features and the strong frames of their savage ancestors, they dress in the garments of civilization and follow the pursuits of white meu. The principal chief is a distinguished looking man ; bo has three sweet looking daughters, two of whom would be noticeably pretty gills in any community.

Leavenworth, Kan., is interestedly discussing one of the latest develop ments of the women's rights move ment which it has "in its midst." Mrs. George Blackman has managed to get the position of Secretary of the Leavenworth Board of Police Commis sioners and virtually rules the whole poliro force. She is a capable woman, but her husband is a nobody and has been making a living as a guard at the penitentiary. He has given this up and takes a position as sergeant of police under a commission signed by his wife. iihe made a place for him by discharging the incumbent of the office, an old and capable officer on the ground that he was not a married man and had no family to provide for. Leavenworth doesn't like it. Several wealthy New Yorkers have spent a great deal of money in the im provement of Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia, and now it is one of the finest winter retreats in the country. George Bleistein, publisher of the Buffalo Courier, describes it as follows: '"Nature did much to make Jekyll thing of beauty, and man and money1 have made it a joy forever.' We have the grandest beach on the South ern shores, as good as that of Galves ton, eleven miles long, from 300 to GOO feet wide, its hard, white sands washed twice per diem by old ocean's wave.; that sing an eternal lullaby.

The climate is semi-tropic and in winter more perfect than that of California." The recent speech of John Burns, labor member of the British House of Commons, was tho most scathing ar raignment of the House of Lords yet pronounced in all this late agitation. Custom, he said, aud the habits of a slow-witted people like the English had not brought the Lords into con tact during recent years with the rough side of its intentions ; but when that slow-witted people did move the Lords would know it. The people had checked the Crown, and the Crown was but a cipher in our political and Par liamentary life. The House of Lords was an unexampled anachronism. In no country in the world were there five-sixths of the upper chamber claim ing the right, not to legislate, but to prevent legislation, on th9 mere fact of hereditary or titular influence. The gilded chamber, or the guilty cham ber if they preferred that name, was no longer the stronghold for a high type of statesmanship, but was the meeting-place of the representatives of property, reaction, wealth, landlord ism and the company promoter, al ways seeking an opportunity to con spire against the best interests of the people. The organized workmen of the country would not allow the Lords to mutilate bills 6ent from the Com mons, and they called upon the Gov ernment to take up the cry of "No surrender.'' The House of Lords wa the juggernaut acting in the interest of the railway companies, but tht Lords would soon learn that the Eng lish people to-day were not the brutal, ignorant, apathetic, enslaved drunken helots they were a century ago.

An article on fertilizers for cotton, compiled by Dr. J. M. McBryde-, Pres ident of Virginia Agriclural and Me1 bhaoical College and Director of Vir ginia Agriculture! Experiment Station, fro counts of experiments carried on under his direction for several years on tip? farms of the South Caro lina experiment stations, has just been published by the United States De partment of Agricultural as "Far mers' "Bulletin No. 14," end is well worthy of cereful btudy by every in telligent cotton farmer. In the introduction to his article Dr. McBryde briefly explains its pur--pose and scope as follows: We have reason to believe from extended ob servation arid experience in the field that hundreds of thousands of dollars are annually wasted by farmers in the lavish and injudicious applications of fertilizer on cotton. In soils abound ing in potash, potaesic fertilizer?, such as kainit, muriate of potash, etc. nre often unnecessarily applied to a cost amounting to $4 or $5 per acre. It is especially timely at this season, when the farmers are about to plant their crops for the year, to discuss the manurial requirements of cotton, and to give in condensed form the results of careful and long continued experi raents bearing directly upon this question. The subject is so broad as to require sub-division. It will, there fore, be discussed uuder the following heads:. Does cotton require potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen? If so, in what amounts and iu what forms? Does it need lime? Will copperas prevent its rusting? At what time or times should nitrate of soda be applied? How should the fertilizer be applied? These questions are considered very fully, and are answered by statements of results of the numerous careful ex periments made by Dr. McBryde in working out the problems which he presents. The pamphlet numbers thirty pages, and we cannot undertake to give even a synopsis of it here. It may suffice, however, to afford an idea of the character of the work to quote a few of points. In order to determine what proportions of the several ele ments named were most effective in combination for fertilizing purposes, Dr. McBryde made and employed a number of combinations, in which the relative quantity of each element was widely varied. For instance, in one series of experiments different amounts of potash were used with full aud con stant doses of phosphoric acid and nitrogen; in another series different amounts of acid were used with full and constant doses of potash and ni trogen, and 60 on. Among the results noted were the following: A double dose of potash, with a full dose of phos phoric acid and nitrogen, gave only nine pounds more of cotton per acre than a full dose; and the full dose only twenty-four pounds more than a half dose. Double doses of phosphoric acid in combination, it was found, can can be advantageously employed. The half dose of nitrogen gave ex actly the same yield as the double dose. As compared with the quarter dose, the half dose did not show an increase sufficient to make up for its additional dose. The results of this series of experi ments taken together show that a crop of cotton yielding 300 pounds of lint per acre "requires double the full or theoretical amount of phosphoric acid. but only about one-fourth to one-half the full amounts of potash and ni trogen. The next, series proceeded on the plan of doubling two of the three con stitnents of the combination, while the third was increased or diminished. "Double do6es of nitrogen and potash gave almost exactly the same results as the full or single dose of nitrogen." "Doubling both gave no better returns than doubling only the phosphoric acid. Double doses of all three ele mcDts gave an increase of only two pounds. Tho value of the pamphlet can be judged in part by the farmer from these bare hints of its contents, which we have taken almost at random. The closing pages are devoted to a state ment of "conclusions" drawn from all the experiments, and a chapter of practical applications, of the con elusions in the shape of varied for mulas and instructions for mixing dif ferent fertilizing elements in right proportions, so as to avoid waste. The bulletin is invaluable to cotton farmers and can be had free of cost by application to the Secretary of Agri culture, m-hingtCQ. 1) C. Making White Brick in Virginia. An important addition to Virginia'i industries is the manufacture of a fin quality white brick made from a de posit of white clay, while most bricki are, it is said, made white bv mtifiria means. These brick burn very hard ami mKe a very attractive appearance, They are being used in the new and magnificent Jefferson Hotel, of WrU. mond. They are not affected by the wcamer, n is said, and hence do not discolor. An order for them has been received for use in the construction of a ptore on Eroadwav. New York. It is one of the interesting simis of th times to find Virginia brick being snippeu to .ow lork for a big Broad way building. Why Whittier Never Married. A letter Whittier wrote in!827, full of admiration for a vounff woman named Bray, who came to Haverhill to have her portrait nainted. shown that he really fell iu love with the painted image, and afterward made ner acquaintance with the result deepening the feeling. But he never allowed himself to follow this or other temptations of the sort.

Wadesboro, S: 6.; Mettefiget-lnteL 1 During the year 1875 John fVjdi married Miss Georgia Ann Bailey, daughter of Mr. Asbury Baiy, who lives near Wadesboro. Powell and Ms wife lived together for three or Km. years, when suddenly, witnout warn-, the man disappeared . Ft after Powell's disappearance hi9 remained true to him, but as nothing was heard from him during all that time she resumed ner maiden name and married again. In 1889 be married Jaa. A. Dixon and has since lived hap pily with him, bearing fata er?I children. But the peace and quietude of Dixon's home was rudely broken m upon last week when Towell, the recre ant husband, suddenly appeared on the sccene. Powell claims that he has been in Alabama ever since he first left Anson, 16 years ago, but, so far as we have heard, he does not offer any excuse for his peculiar actions. He claims that he did not know that his wife had mar ried again until he was in half a mile of her home, when one of her neighbors gave him the information. He appears to be very much disappointed and says that he came back after his wife, as he wished to take her to. Alabama with him. Powell visited the office of the register of deeds last Friday to look up the record of bis own marriage and also that of Dixon, both of which he found Inly recorded. During his visit to the office he requested Mr. Benton in a very serious manner to please tell him whose wife the woman in controversy was anyhow, as he wanted the matter settled'. He said that Dixon was wil ling to give her up, but that Mrs. Powell, or Mrs. Dixon, as the case may be, had a very decided predilection for'Dixon, and up to that time he had not been able to induce her to return with him to his Alabama home. Mr. Benton was not able to i-uggest a way out of the dilemma, and the last news we have of the matter the woman was 6till Mrs. Dixon. CHARLESTON HARBOR. By the End of the Year the Channel Will Af ford 25 Feet of Water. f Charleston, S. C Captain Freder ick V. Abbott, United States engineer in charge of the jetty improvements in Charleston harbor, has completed a new survey of the appioaches to Char leston harbor, which 6hows a marked deepening of the 6hip channel from deep water outside to deep water in side the bay. By survey of last De cember there was a shoal of 1,000 fet in width at the inner end of the chan nel and this shoal has been narrowed to about 20 feet. In December there was a clear channel of 20 feet and 6 in ches, and in the new survey there is a clear channel of 22 feet and 4 inches. The scour of the channel is consid erable and the work of deepening the channel is going on steadily and con stantly. The official survey 6hows that there has been a net gain of nearly two feet in the depth of the jetty ship chan nel in three months. It is safe to say that by the end of the year 6hips draw ing 25 feet can come into Charleston harbor at high tide with several inches of water to spare uuder their keels. A Rude Moonshine Still. Greensboro, N. C, Daily Record. Mr. Samuel Kirkpatrick of the reve nue force has captured a curiosity in the shape of a blockade still. He was in Randolph county, not far from Ju lian, when he ran across it. The outfit is oiiginal, if nothing more. It con sists of a rough box, resembling a pig trough, about three or four feet long. In this trough is the "worm," which is uiade by joining pieces of elderwood together. These pieces, or the worm, then connect with a "cap," which is nothing but a big wooden spigot in serted into a wooden lid or top, which was placed over an ordinary dinner pot of iron. Into this the mash was daced, a fire started under it, the heat of course causing it to run up through the cap and down the worm. It was placed beside a branch, and kept full of water to keep the "worm" from burning up. The first process, of course, brought Vlow wines," which were then put back and distilled over again when the pure raw liquor came forth. Mr. Kirkpatrick brought the thing home with him and has it at the office here. It is a small affair aud easily carried under one's arm. CRISP APP0IN TED SENA TOR, HE DECLINES Gov.
