Its influence on plants is seen most plain ly in the large in- rease of foliage and stalk as distinguished from the for mation of seed, and “therefore, it* effect* bre visible on the different varieties of clover. A crop of two tons of clover contains about twenty-five pounds of sulphate of lime whilst a crop of twenty-: five bushels of wheat, straw and all, con tains but seven pounds, and fifty bush els of corn contain less than one pound. ] And it is universally considered that j plaster, on projicr kinds of soil and in I right condition, is beneficial to all kinds j of the clover family, yet that it increases ; the yield of wheat, corn, rye, or oats is not so generally conceded. Liebig claimed—and we have great faith in his opinion—that the chief bene fit of piaster to land was that it absorbed ammonia from the atmosphere and fixed it in the soil. Others hold that, besides (his quality, it disintegrates the com pound silicates in the soil, setting free tiie |tolash and magnesia—two essential constituents of plant growth—and by rendering them soluble and active in tho soil, thus furnishes plants with four of their very essential constituents, viz.: sulphur, lime, potash and magnesia. That there is a great difference in the quality of the plaster is known to all ob tervant farmers, and it lias been found that the kind which, in grinding, emits Ific strongest smell of sulphuric acid has the best effect on vegetation; and w hilst it cannot be denied that some piaster, in shine seasons at least has littlo of no per ceptible effect on vegetation, yet, when pure, it is almost as powerful in ita effects as the best of manures, and wlien incor porated with or strewn over the manure pile at once stops its strong, pungent itnell by uniting with the ammuuia, md thus preserving the strength of the manure. The great danger, however, to tho farmer is purchasing plaster is tho lia bility ornaving nil impure article im posed upon him, and therefore ho can not be too particular in satisfying him self in this respect —BaUimtrrr Bun. The Way to t'loar Woodland. John F. Fitts writes, as follows, (o Ilio New Vork Tribmu•: Ah impression prevails among fanners that their grow ing wood needs no nttoutiun, and when Ihey find it desirable to cut off a portion it is usually done without plan or con sideration. I offer n hint toward a moro regular system in tiie older States, to l)o varied, of course, according to *i/.o and peculiarity of tlie tract, ami the circum staneo* of the proprietor. Most of our wood at present is what iscalicd “second growth”; much of it has been cut over several times; littlo of the original forest is left, and there are few tracts contain ing old or very largo timber. 'I he gen eral use of coal leaves little inducement for the farmer to cut off wood to sell for fuel. It should be his principle object, therefore, where ids wood is of suitable kinds, to let it Htnml until large enough for timber, for which there is a good prescat market, aud likely to be an even l etter and more remunerative one in the future. For more than thirty years, wlii-ii cutting off a tract of woodland for fuel, it has bocn my practice to lot all tiie straight and thrifty timber trees stand, such ns white oak, white pine, hickory and chest nut. As wood for fuel is most profitably cut off once in twenty five or thirty years, nt tho second cut ting these reserved trees will have bo eome large enough for timber uses, and can lie cut and worked up into lumber. With this exception it is decidedly bc-t in clearing off n woodlot to cut every, thing clean. Hut it it often recommended in agri cultural papers to cut out for fuel only the dead, crooked and unthrifty trees, while the rest is allowed to stand. The objections to this practice nro: The danger of injuring the surrounding trees while felling (tuck dead wood in the midst of a thick growth; the difficulty of getting out the wood of such trees with ■tit cutting roads in every direction through the woodland, which would de stroy more thriftly trees than the dead wood is wortli; and lastly, there is no end to this practice, for theto will be more or less of dead wood to cut out every year, and where the di ad or crooked trees are cut there will spring up a now growth which will not he large enough to cut when the surrounding trees nro ready to clear away. A far better way is to cut everything clean, with the ex ception mentioned above. The trees will not then be in tho way of each other in falling: teams can pass over the tot in any direction without obstruction in hauling off the wood, and the new growth will come up even and uniform over the whole tract. Supposing a farmer begins Upon this system, cutting off each year from a given tract what lie wishes to use or to sell. lu the course of a few years he will have his wood land iu separate lots of different stages of growth, and xx lien lie gets over the whole iu twenty-five or thirty years ho (or his children) can begin again where lie commcnoctl at first, and this time he can take off such of the valuable timber as is matured and ready to removo.

Two Lovers Race for n llrldc. “A young Lochlnvar is come out of tho West,” and he lias captured a bride and the sympathies of all the people in tho town of Fulton, Mo. Miss Ilcttio I angljy is the daughter of a prominent farmer,and as site is both fair and charm ing she was an object of great interest to the gallants of tho county. Miss Urundy had several months ago decided that only two suitors stood n chance of success, a wealthy Toxan named W. A. Bncathen and a poor but lmiiscme young man named .lesso Hull. The Texas man re cently learned that Hull and Miss Hcttio wero engaged, and resolved to play his last card, lie went to the girl’s father ami offered him $5,000 for Miss Bottle. The father accepted and contracted to deliver his daughter's affections into tho hands of Mr. Bncathen. Tho stern parent rounded-up tho beautiful liottie and told her that Hull had to move on, and that she must marry Sncathon. Hie said she would take tho matter under ndvise nient. Sim then sent a messenger hur riedly to Hull and told him to secure a license and moot her Saturday. Ho failed to appear Saturday, anil Miss Hettie stopped with the family of Hod Douglas. Meanwhile her father told tho Texas lover that the coast was clear, and this morning Sneathcn got his license. He left the Hocorder’s office as Hull en tered aud desired a license to marry tho same girl. Miss Hcttio was informed of what had taken place and sent for Kldcr Hcece. Hull had also gone after the preacher and found Bncathen at the house. Hoth men ran for Mr. Douglas's house. Hull was the best sprinter, and with the license in one hand aud his hat in the other he came puffing into his sweetheart’s arms fully SOO yards ahead of Bueathcn. The eeremouy was'almost over when the Texan entered, and ho stormed and raged for ten minutes. Tho foot-race was about a half mile. Chicago Tribune. Bear Against Buffalo. When there wero buffalo on tho plains tho Manitoba grizzlies were great hunt ers of them. When a grizzly aud a buffalo met there xvas always sure to be a contest, but it seldom lasted loug, and the buffalo was usually the victim. The buffalo would charge u|>on the bear, which axvaited the ouset of his foe erect on his hauuchcs. As the buffalo dashed upon him the bear threw himself aside, and with a olow as quick as lightning with one of his fore paws seldom failed to break his antagonist's neck. A grizzly bear has been kuown to engage in quick succession four and even five big buffalo bulls, and to kill every one of them. It frequently happened, "how ever, that some younger and more active bull than his companions succeeded iu evading the fatal blow of the grizzly’s terrible fore paw long enough to give in turn a fatal thrust xvillt his horn in the War's side, puncturing the vitals, and making of the contest a mutual slaughter.—.

The society, i which commented work with but thirty- I °, ne members, and now numbers 202 ac j tiye members and 103 associate, the latter I being those who are unable to do active I work, but who aid the society by an an nual contribution of not less than five dollars. In fifteen years the work grew to such proportions that it became necessary to nave larger facilities for usefulness. Thousands of self-supporting women came to its doors to seek both temporal and spiritual aid. Its class rooms were not only lull, but overflowing. Tbe em ployment rooms were pressed beyond their utmost rapacity, and it was finally decided that the increased work de manded more commodious quarters. Twenty-fivo thou-mid dollars was im mediately subscribed and the work of demolishing tho old structure was com menced. A house on East Twelfth street was leased for fifteen months so that the work should suffer no interruption, and here I lie greater part of the work was carried on until the completion of the new building. Tho plan of the memlicrs was to have their association hall built free of debt. To do this $125,000 was needed. Various plans for raising this wero suggested, and it was finally decided that the best way to get it was to ask for it. The re sult proved the wisdom of their course, for lieforo January, 1886, SBO,OOO was collected, and in a very short time not only was the remaining $45,000 paid in, but enough more to completely furnish the house, to equip it with all appliances for work, and to leave a surplus of $lO,- 000 for future alterations. Tiie new building is a worthy monu-* incnt to the brave and noble-hearted women who exerted all their power in order that the self-supporting women of New York might enjoy more advantages, and might be enabled to better their con dition of life. Tho structuro is of rough brown stone and brick, five stories high, snd elegant and artistic in its every de tail. A Girl I)i-uinmor. A turn littlo woman skipped lightly from the steps of a Baltimoro & Ohio passenger coach at the Chestnut Htrect Station the other night. Wulking ahead of her were Senator Thomas V. Cooper and wife, who came in the same car from Washington. There was something about the fcmalo that would attract a second glance as she hurried off in her neat fitting, long plush coat, show jngMust tin lower plaits of a stylish woolen traveling dress, and a jaunty bit of a brown velvet bonnet bobbing with her head as lively as the convenient gripsack rattled which she carried in her hand. "That's a traveling saleslady,” re marked a train hand. “Ye, she’s a regular female drummer. Sho travels on the road regularly, and makes herself quite at homo in the ear. Hho’s not over eighteen years old, though if you heard her talk you’d think slie was twenty oi moro. Hhe’s as bright as a dollar, and a very pleasant nnd ready talker. She Jives in Pittsburg, travels for a millinery house nnd is very popular with her cus tomers. ’ . In nfl her traveling alone, between Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, she is said to have suffered no annoyance or insult. Though quite free to make and pick acquaintance with fellow-passengers of her own sex,she car ries herself with lady-liko dignity, and yet her manner might seem a tritlc fa miliar to strangers unacquainted with the fact that she virtually makes her home in the cars. It would he hard to tell just how many newcomers on tho line have had their journey shortened by the pleasure of her company. It is said that her bright and interesting chat has touched sparks of friendship in the bosoms of many fair travelers whom she has met. Mrs. Henator Cooper and sho parted great friends. An incident which shows her composure occurred on lior last trip South. After traveling some distance with a party homeward bound from California sho seated herself beside one of the women and opened up a con versation with some remark about the weather. “I don’t think I know you, miss,” ex claimed the woman, with a haughty air, and drawing herself away as if from a thing unholy. “Excuse me, madam,” said tho young daughter of trado, jumping up like a flash, “I thought I was addressing a lady.
