At a recent dinner in Washington Captain of the United States navy told the following story about a certain shallow pated naval captain who was looked upon with scant respect by his brother office re.

The president eyed him for a moment and then said dryly: "Weil, Mr. , I'll do my part any way. Good morning." "The cream of the joke is," said the narrator, "that the fellow, who really, did get into the navy later, told the story himself, with all seriousness, add ing, 'And as I left that room I had a Strong conviction that it was not tbe will of Providence that I should enter the navy at that time.' " Ko Straps In Berlin Cara. There is no hanging on to straps in the street cars of Berlin, even iu the rush hours. The police regulations for bid the carrying of a larger number of passengers in a car than is authorized, and that number, which is posted con spicuously in every cor, is the same as the number of scats, plus a few per mitted to be carried on tbe front and rear platforms, usually six persons on the two platforms. When all the seats nre filled no pas senger is permitted to enter tbo car. Standing In aisles or holding on to straps vis not permitted similarly on the platforms when six passengers have found places there. This regulation often separates a man nnd his wife, who nre riot allowed to return home by the same car, but it lias the effect that there Is no over crowding and standing on each other's feet. The conductor and motormen are instructed to enforce the regulation, and they tlo it without fear or favor. Tho conductor Is In Germany clothed with tlie authority of a policeman on board Ills car ami can put off any passenger who misbehaves. This is probably tho meat of the whole matter. Tho conductor is :t municipal officer within the prescribed limits of bis duty. Where Yooth Hnndlrnp. The other (My I found as my com panion in a railway journey a young engineer.

It a soil is add through ' the decay of excessive organic matter lime will sweeten It snd also destroy ' the green mass so common in old pas- 1 tare fields or In neglected lawns. Lime is generally used freely at first, as it has all the effect of abundant manur-1 lng or- fertilizing. Organic matter is quickly broken up and nitrogen as well as potash and phosphate liberated In soluble form. Even tbe insoluble soli silicates are more or less broken up, yielding plant food In small amounts. The result on its face is that lime ap pears to be In truth a fertilizer, but sooner or later these stores of plant food are exhausted, and lime no longer gives results. This is properly tbe abuse of lime, Lime also acts to prevent tbe forma tion of surface crusts, so common where Intensive fertilization Is neces sary in order to procure heavy crops of early vegetables or where large crops of any kind are grown. It should be used at tbe rate of forty bushels ot slacked lime per acre every fourth year. On very heavy, clayey soils use lime whenever the soil shows a tendency to form surface clods.

It Is reported that the striped cucum ber beetle was one of tbe causes of damage to the Oklahoma melon crop last summer. In localities where such was the case early preparations should be made for disposing of this Insect during this season. In addition to the preventlva meas ures of cleaning up rubbish and a thor ough cultivation of the melon ground, the use of bordeaux mixture as a repel lent and squash as a trap corn are among tbe most promising ot the reme dies recommended by those who have successfully dealt with this insect Squashes are planted about four days before the melons. One or more rows ot squashes should be planted, accord ing to the size of the field. Some of the trap plants may be dusted with parts green when the beetles gather on them. Others should be left to attract the beetles through the summer. It seems that spraying the young melon vines with bordeaux mixture not only repels the cucumber beetle, but also poisons some of the Insects which feed on tho sprayed leaves Oklahoma Station Press Bulletin. Manorial Value ol Nrn Stover, - According to the best analysis at hand, a ton ot corn stover without any ears will be worth for the plant food It contains at tbe -market price for these things $4.50 per ton. Of course this Is estimating at tbe value ot the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash It contains, but It does not properly show its agricultural value since the organ ic matter must go through the process of decay to render what plant food It has available to plants; hence It la hardly fair to give the full value of the ingredients that Is, we would not put com stover at $4.60 per ton merely for Its manorial value. If In good feeding condition one might afford to pay more, knowing that he can recover a large part of the manorial value In the drop pings of the animals fed upon the sto ver. Practical Farmer. .

A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in aa unhealthy and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down nnder the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate non-healing sores of the most offensive character. Often an inherited taint breaks out in frightful eating- sores upon the limbs or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will never heal permanently till the blood germs and poisons destroyed, and with S.

It is described on tbe title page is "The New England Almanack and Gentleman's and Lady's Diary For the Tear of Our Lord Christ ma-Circulated For the Meridian of New Lon don, In Lat 41 Deg. 23 Mln. North." The key to the forecast of the days of each month is furnished from a crude drawing of "Tbe Anatomy of Man's Body, as Govern'd by the Twelve Con stellations." Tbe various months are preceded by a timely verse of poetry, and scattered through the weather ta bles are notes indicating the anniversa ries of Important events, poetic quota tions and aphorisms. Timely warnings as to probable weather conditions are given at various periods. For In- stance, between tbe 6th and the 9th of August tbe farmer is advised to "make money while you may, for a mighty storm is coming."' In the space devoted to this month Is this admoni tion: "Would you keep well this month beware of cold, raw fruit and evening air." In tbe November table it Is stated, "Many things are frozen, all things are cold, tbe young ladles ex cepted." This uncharitable observation is set down in the December page: "The dame that's old now feels the cold, which makes her scold." In the February chronicle is found this warn ing: "Monopolizers, take care, lest you are dragged to tbo bar." Included in tbe interesting contents are a poetic narrative entitled "Tht Neglected Maid's Lamentation," a number of precepts, a list of the "Friends' Yearly Meetings In New England," a treatise on "How to Get Klches," "Distance of the Principal Towns In New England From New London, With the Most Noted Bouses ot Entertainment on Road," "A Table of Interest at 6 Per Cent," "A Poem on That Worthy Commander In Chief of the Army of the United States, by a Friend to His Country," and "A Re ceipt For Pickling Beef and Pork."

The picture Is an admirable one, and all the uniformed German of ficers In it have their bands over their ears. They do not look Tory warlike or gallant in this attitude, and one of the Cramp officials said of them the other day: "The Germans, English and Russians must have weaker ears than we, for they always stop tbem with their fingers when big guns go off, but we Americans don't find It necessary to take this precaution. I remember at the trial ot the .TarJag's guns how amusing It was to see tbe Russian offi cers caring for their ears. Before the firing began a wad of cotton bigger than your head was passed around, and each man took a couple of pieces and stuffed bis ears with tbem. In ad dition to this the Russians also held their ears and shut their eyes when 6 Inch gun was fired.
