Acid Phosphate and Cotton Seed Meal
for Cotton.
I want to use phosphate and cotton
seed meal on cotton ; what portortion is
beet ? I have also a large quantity of salt
from packing meat; would it add any
value to .he mixture, and what amount
should I use? What difference in effect
would there be in the use of the salt and
kainit, and which would the mixture
require most of, if either could be used
to advantage 1
. Anbweu.—lf the land is poor, mix 6 0
pounds of cotton seed meal with 1.400
pounds of phosphate; if rich, 500 pounds
of meal to 1,500 pounds of phosphate will
be better. Salt will do some good by
increasing the solubility of the phos
phate. Mix in such quantity that in
applying there shall be 100 pounds of
salt per acre. Kainit contains potash as
its moat valuable ingredient; also con
tains salt. It has all the beneficial action
of salt with the additional benefit from
potash where the soil is lacking in that
substance. One hundred pounds of kai
nit per acre is sufficient if applied in
drills,— Southern Cultivator.
Preserving Eggs.
The Prairie Parmer says: "The
keeping of eggs being almost wholly a
question of temperature and the exclu
sion of air from them, it follows that any
plan which will do both in the cheapest
and most eflectual way will be the beat
Hence eggs are kept in very groat num
bers by cold storage—that is by provid
ing a steady low temperature not above
thirty-five degrees Fahr. But this is
expensive. When, however, the tem
perature can be kept down to seventy
five degrees and below, if eggs are packed
in some dry clean substance which will
exclude the atmospheric air, they may be
xept in a comparatively fresh state for
months This may be done in the fol
lowing way : Provide clean dry packages
not exceeding, in capacity, the quarter or
third of a barrel, and a sufficiency of
finely ground land pilaster, such as ia used
for agricultural purposes. Commence by
putting a layer of the plaster two inches
deep on the bottom of the package, and
into this set the eggs small end down, so
the eggs will be separate from each other.
When the strata of eggs is complete, add
more plaster, then another stratum of
eggs till the package is full. If the work
is done ca efully, all the eggs are sound
when packed, and each egg is separate
from every other, and the temperature
not allowed to get above seventy-fiv<
degrees, the result in every case wid be
satisfactory.”

TZZ7? OLD MILL.
Here from the brow of the hill I look
Through a lattice of boughs and leaves
On the old gray mill with its gambrel roof.
And the moan on its rotting eaves,
I hear the clatter that jars its walls,
And the rushing water’s sound,
And I see the black floats rise and fall
As the wheel goes slowly round.
I rode there often when I was yonng,
With my grist on the h rso before,
And talked with Nellie, the miller's girl,
As I waited my inrn at the door.
And while she tossed Inr ring eta brown,
And flirted and ehatted so fr* e.
The wheel iiiight*top or the wheel might go,
Il was al) the same to me.
'Tie twenty years since last I stood
On 'he sjot wl ere I stand 'o-day,
And Nellie is wed and the miller Is dead,
Anti tl e mill and I arc gray.
But both, tdl wn fall into min and wreck,
To our fortunes of toil are bound,
And the man goes and the stream flows,
And the wheel moves slowly round.

THE OLD BACHELOR.
"How did I come to adopt her ?" My
dear friend, that ia about one of the sil
liest questions I ever heard to come
from a man of your wisdom and com
mon sense I It was Fate, that’s what it
was I Personally, I had no more to do
with it than you have this moment.
These things are all ordained and marked
out for us, and wo can neither avoid nor
alter them. Fatality, do you call the
doctrine? Well, call it what you will—
there it is, and you can’t make anything
else out of it!
But about little Magdalen. I was
coming down Broadway in a great
hurry to catch an uptown stage before
all those ferry people blocked into it,
when there she sat on a curb-stone, the
wind blowing her yellow hair about and
her poor little bauds blue with cold,
crying as if her heart would break. I
didn’t think the veriest savage could
have helped stopping to ask her what
the matter was, and I don’t call myself
a savage, if I do happen to have my
little crusty fits now and then. So
says I:
"Child, what’s the matter?”
“I’m Jost I” said she.
And come to inquire, why, the poor
little elf was fatherless, motherless,
friendless, in all the wide world I Os
course, I took her home, and you ought
to have seen old Hannah, my house
keeper, stare when I walked in with the
yellow-haired baby clinging to the
little finger of my left hand. For she
wasn’t more limn eight years old, and
small at that I
“I give you a month’s warning, sir 1”
says Hannah. But, bless your soul, she
didn’t go. Maggie took her heart by
.itorrn, os she always has done that of
the rest of the world, and at the month’s
end you couldn’t have hired old Hannah
to leave the child.
Well, sir, she grew up as tall as a
reed, and as pretty as a posy. I sent her
to Madam Annard’s fashionable French
boarding-school, tor I was not going to
have my Maggie a whit behind any
one's else girl. I can tell yon. My sister
Simpkins objected. You see, with those
nine daughters < f hers, she grudged ,
every penny of my money that was
spent on any one else.
"Your putting silly notions in the
child's head,” said she. "A girl that
will have her own living to earn, ought
not to mingle with Madam Aiiuard’s
young Lillies.”
“I should like to know why ?” says I.
"Because she is in no way their
• qnal I” said Sister S mpkins.
"Fiddlesticks I” says J. “My Maggie
is good and pietty, and if that don’t
constitute equality with any girl alive,
I II own up that wo don’t live in a repub
lican country ! As for earning her own
living, why it's my business to look
after that, and no one else need trouble
their head about it I”
Mrs. Simpkins pursed up her lips and
looked unutterable things, but she did
not dare to say anything more. She
knew of old that I wasn't to be disputed
when my will was up. But I sent the
nine Miss Simpkinses nine coral neck
laces the next Christmas, and that kept
the peace for awhile.
When she camo home from the board
ing-school, she was prettier than ever—
tali, as I said before, with yellow, silky
hair, groat shady-looking blue eyes,
with lashes that curled up at the ends,
and cheeks as fresh and pink as I re
member the inside of two big shells that
used to stand on my grandfather's best
room mantel fifty good years ago.
So I cast about in my miud to find
some now plan for making the old house
lively for my little girl. I knew she
couldn’t thrive without her innocent
gayeties, any more than a bird could
without free air and sunshine; so I in
vited company, and made up little im
promptu parties and frolics, and beat
my brains for something to keep her
amused. And I believe I succeeded,
too, for her step was as light as a
feather, and you could hear her sing all
over the h mse, when she thought she
was alone.
And one day old Hannah came in.
dusting chairs, and prying about foi
finger-marks on the paint in her odd,
near-sighted way.
"Mr. Pelham,” says she, rubbing
away at a door-knob that was as bright
before as hands could make it, "what
would you say if we were to have a wed
ding in the old house ?”
“A wedding I” I dropped my pen so
that it made a big round blot on the pa
per, and stared. "Why, you’re not go
ing to be married, Hannah, after al)
these years ?’’
“Do I look like it ?” sniffed Hannah,
contemptuously—and, to tell the truth,
she didn't very much. "No, indeed,
sir; I hope I know my place better than
that It’s Miss Maggie I’m thinking
of, sir.”
I sat as if I had been stricken with a
paralytic shock. Maggie to be married 1
Strange that I had never thought of
that, as a natural consequence of
parties, companies, evening concerts
and summer picnics 1 And somehow a
desolate dull crept down my vdus as J
thought how lonesome and dreary the
old house would seem without Maggie.
"What makes you think so, Han
nah ?” I asked rather dolorously, and
the old woman lowered her voice mys
teriously as she answered :
"It's that Mr.Carlisle—he keeps com
ing all the time, and it’s my honest be
lief he just worships the ground my
young lady walks on. He is very hand
some, too, and folks tell me he’s worth
money.”
Mr. Carlisle I Well, old Hannah was
right. He was a fine-lookiug fellow,
and well-to-do in this world’s goods; but
—who was there, after all, worthy ot
my tall, golden-haired princess with
dewy bine eyes and lips like scarlet
coral newly plucked out of the sea ?
Why couldn’t Carlisle go off and marry
one of the wise Miss Simpkinses, whose
mother was on the look-out for husbands
as an ogress watches for eatable young
travelers ? I began to hate Carlisle.
"Pooh I” said I, upsetting my waste
basket of papers over the floor with an
unwary fling of my feet. “I don’t think
she cares for Carlisle.”
“Just you watch her, then, and see
for yourself,” said old Hannah, wisely
wagging her cap border. "I never did
set up for a prophet, Mr. Pelham, but
them as isn’t blind can’t help seeing,
and our eyes Is given to us to use,”
So old Hannah went her way, leaving
me about as uncomfortable as a man
has any business to be. My Maggie to
be married I My pretty blossom to be
plucked just as soon as it began to shed
fragrance round my door-stone. I felt
as a monarch may whose domains are
invaded by an audacious foe. Should I
write Carlisle a note and tell him to go
about his business, or should I simply
convey to him by my manners the hint
that his presence woh no longer specially
desirable, or—-but old Hannah's words
recurred uncomfortably to my mind—
should I at first find out whether Mag
gie really did care for the young up
start ?
My head dropped on my hands—my
heart sunk somewhere below zero at the
idea I I wondered if all fathers felt so
when gay young cavaliers came wooing
at their gates I And, after all, Maggie
wasn't my real child, dearly as I loved
and tenderly as I had cherished her.
I think I hardly slept all that night.
I tossed to aud fro on my pillow, count
ing the chimes of the old clock, as one
by one it told the hours, thinking about
Maggie and Carlisle, and wondering if
the tardy daybreak would never redden
over the hill-tops.
By that time my mind was made up.
I would repress all these selfish ideas
and only think of my girl's ultimate
happiness. If she liked Carlisle, why
Carlisle should have her.
I rose, dressed and went down to my
study. The first thing I saw was a note
lying on my library table. Probably it
had arrived lute last night, I broke the i
seal; it was from George Carlisle, asking :
permission to address Miss Magdalen
Pelham.
Well—it was nothing more than I had
expected—in fact, it rather expedited
matters, which ought not to run too
slowly. I refolded the epistle, and
looked severely at myself iu the opposite
glass.
"Yon middle-aged old fogy,” quoth I,
staring at myself with the severest ex
pression of countenance I could call up
at so short a notice, "I see through you.
You have dared to suppose bright-eyed
Magdalen could prefer you to these gay
young fellows nearer her own age—you
have even presumed to fall a little spice
in love with her yourself. It will do yen
good to have some of the nonsense taken
out of you. At your time of life too I l
Did you ever see a chestnut tree bios-
BOtniug in November or a grape-vine I
loaded with blue fruit nt mid-winter?”
So off I trudged into the garden whore
Magdalen always walked in the early
morning to tell her of young Carlisle's
proposal.
She listened, looking very pretty and
preoccupied, until I had finished.
"Well?” Baid she.
“Well ?” I quoth, “what do yon say?”
“What do I B iy? No, of course I”
"You mean yes, my dear,"said I, “if
you’ll only take time to think.”
“ I mean no!” she flashed out. "Oh,
Mr. Pelham, how can you think so
basely of me?”
"Basely, my dear. I don’t compre
hend you. ”
She was beginning to cry now—big,
sparkling drops like the first glittering
diamonds of a July shower.
“I don’t love him. 1 never can love
him.”
"But, why not, my dear?”
"Because I love somebody else,” she
sobbed, growing pinker and prettier
than ever.
"Who is it, Maggie? You’ll tell me,
won’t you ? Why, child”—as she shrank
blnshingly back—“l am old enough to
be your father 1”
"You are not 1” she exclaimed, indig
nantly, “and you are the last person in
the world I would tell 1”
“My darling, why not ?”
The enigmas these women are ! in
stead of answering me, she began to
cry again as if her dear little heart was
going to break.
And suddenly a great light flashed in
upon my mind !
"Magdalen I Darling! Is it me that
you love ?”
Aud in another moment she was
laughing and crying on my breast!
The old chestnut tree was garlanded
with blossoms, even though its prime
was past—the vine of life was mantling
in blue clusters in the late, late harvest!
So I had to send as civil a note as pos
sible to young Carlisle —and it's surpris
ing how my feelings moderated toward
him as I wrote it!
And that is the way I won this peer
less rose among women to be my wife—
and I don’t think she has ever regretted
marrying the old man yet. Though I
shouldn't dare to call myself "old” in
her presence, to speak truth. People
say it’s a romantic story, but I say it is
only tin illustration of the fact that there
is more romance in real life than there is
in books, if we only knew it,

TALMAGE ON ROLLER SKATING.
The Rev. Dr. Talmage said Sunday
that roller skating eclipsed coasting,
croquet, football, lawn tennis, and slid
ing by moonlight on a pond. It had an
advantage over the gymnasium in that
it was more exhilarating. It was good
?or all men to take one hour a day for
roller skating. It would bring back
light to the eye and strength to the
body. It drove away neuralgia and
nervousness.
“But let us have,” he continued, “no
more of the vulgarity and immodesty
of young girls alone on the streets.
They should be chaperoned by mother,
father, brother, or one who has a right
to do it. If a young man tips his hat
to a young lady in a rink aud is not
acquainted with her the proprietor must
lead him to the front door. If those
well-dressed devils we see on the streets
and sometimes at church doors should
get justice done them there would be
more honest amusements and purer
merriment. Let not brilliant lights asd
exciting music tempt to prolonged exer
cise. At the door of every place of
amusement stands a group of pneumo
nias, waiting to escort you to the sepul
chre. Flirtation is damnation. When
in Broadway, New York, or in Fulton
street, Brooklyn, I see at the evening
hour daughters of respectable families,
whose conspicuous behavior is intended
to attract masculine observation, a hor
ror goes through my soul. If I had a
voice loud enough to reach from the
Penobscot to the Rio Grande I would
say flirtation is damnation.
“Meanwhile let the old people remem
ber that they were once young. Rheu

of the old before they reach thirty
years bore the life out of prayer meet
ings, and disgust the world with the
cant of religion. God made boys and
girls, and gave them tastes to be grati
fied. Their bodies need strengthen

WHY THEY DON’T SO TO CHURCH.
Rev. Charles H. Eaton took for the
subject of his Sunday's sermon "Why
]) > Not Young Men Go to Church?”
Ho said that, in answer to this question,
many explanations had been given by
young men who did not. attend services.
Some of the explanations were frivolous
or given in chaff, as, for instance, one
young man said that he did not go be
cause his sweetheart did not, and an
other that the church was too cold in
winter. The speaker then reviewed
some of the more serious objections.
Among them were that there was too
much caste iu the churches, that Chris
tians were insincere aud hypocritical and
that services were toe lengthy and ser
mons too dull. Other young men
replied that they remained away from
church because they were skeptics or
out-and-out disbelievers in Christianity,
while others still claimed Sunday as a
day for recreation after a week’s hard
work, and believed churches to be places
for women only.
The preacher said there was not more
caste in the church than elsewhere; that
Christians, while not claiming perfec
tion, were, as a rule, sincere; that the
services were not too lengthy; that the
majority of sermons were not dull; that
church attendance did not prevent
yonng men having rest and recreation
on Sundays, and that if women did go
to church in greater numbers than men
it did not prove that this performance of
one's duty to God was unmanly.
In speaking about those who assail re
ligion, he referred to Robert Ingersoll
as a wonderful word painter and elo
quent orator and as a shrewd politician
and good lawyer, but denied that he
had received sufficient training in re
ligious matters to set himself up as an
expert on the merits or demerits of
Christianity.

The Printers’ Bible, issued before
1702, contained an absurd misstatement
in which the Psalmist was pathetically
made to say the "printers persecuted
him without a cause,” instead of princes.
The Medical Journal states that a
few handiuls of common salt thrown
daily into closets aud an occasional hand
ful into wash basins goes far toward
counteracting the noxious effects of the
omnipresent sewer gas.
That pegged shoes and boots are still
quite extensively used might be inferred
from the fact that a peg manufacturing
company at Bartlett, N. H., is turning
out the little wooden articles at the rate
of eighteen hundred bushels a day, and
has orders on hand that will require
several months to fill.
According to the Medical Record five
per cent, of all cancers are situated upon
the tongue. The average duration of
life in cancer of the tongue is, without
operation, stated to be ten and a half
mouths; with operation, sixteen mouths.
In some cases—after operations—
patients have lived from two to five, and
even ten years.
In social conversation with his staff
one of them asked Gen Joe Johnston
how many times he had been wounded.
He replied, “eight times.” The staff
remarked that he was the most unfortu

ever known. “No, sir," said he, “the
most fortunate; for it was only by the
mercy of God I was not killed on either
occasion. ”
A few years ago, says the London
Standard, the young people of Eng
land became imbued with the roller
skating eraze, and rinks were built all
over the country. The fever, however,
was as brief oh any other vagarie of
fashion; the enthusiasm died away, the
rinks were deserted, the investors lost
their money, aud roller skates disap
peared in the land.
The ex-director of the conscription
under the first empire computed the
actual loss of men born within the old
limits of France, and destroyed in the
imper al wars from 1801 to 1815, at
1,700,000. This estimate does not in
clude the wars of the republic, or the
loss of men not born in the kingdom of
France, and goes fur to explain how
population iu France has kept low.

A Bad Break.
Sim Peterby, a merchant from the
interior, while attending the Mardi
Gms festivities at Galveston, united
business with pleasure by purchasing a
bill of goods from a prominent firm,
lie was very politely received, and one
of the proprietors showed him over the
immense store. On reaching the fourth
fl x>r the customer perceived a speaking
tube mi the wall, the first thing of the
kind he had ever seen.
"What is that?” l.e asked.
"Oh, that is a speaking tube; it is a
great convenience. Wa cm converse
with clerks on the first floor without the
trouble of going down stairs.”
“Can they hear what you say through
that ?” asked the visitor.
"Certainly; and they can reply at the
same time.”
"You don’t say so !” exclaimed the
visitor. "May 1 talk through it ?”
"Certainly,” was the reply.
The visitor put his mouth to the
speaking tube and asked:
"Are Sam Peterby’s goods packed up
yet ?”
The people in the office must have
supposed it was somebody else speaking,
for a moment later the distinct reply
came back:
"No. We have not packed them yet.
We are waiting for a telegram from his
town. We believe he is a slippery
cuss.”

The mouth ot tne Mississippi has cost
millions from first to last. It is a greedy
mouth aud will swallow greenbacks
about as fast as they can be printed.
With all the money spent on this great
stream it appears that there is now im
minent danger of the deflection of the
river into Bayou Atehafalaya, by which
it would reach the Gulf very much
sooner than at present. This would
ruin New Orleans, leaving her high and
dry as an inland town, and some of the
richest territory of Louisiana would also
be permanently submerged.
Worse Than Firearms.
The editor of an Omaha papier, i- com
menting on several cases in that city
where children died from the effects of
taking cough syrup containing morphia,
remarks that opiates, poisons and nar
cotics are more dangerous than firearms.
Mothers should note this aud further
more that different Boards of Health,
after making careful analyses have cer
tified that the only purely vegetable
preparation ot this kind, and one that is
in every way harmless, prompt aud effect
ive, is Red etar Cough Cure. Mayor
Latrobe of B altimore, and the Commis

Mr. T. H. Gafford, of Church. HUI, Md..
Is so thankful for the restoration of his wifa
to complete health, that he is willing to cer
tify to the fact and the manner of her euro.
To' Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham. This is to cer
tify to tbo grand effects of your Vegetable
Compound. My wife was suffering from a
terrible disease which seemed to baffle the
skill of the best medical men. She was in a
poor, languid, depressoX nervous condition.
We finally concluded to try your Vegetable
Compound and to our great surprise the half
of one bottle had not been taken before there
seemed to be a thorough ehamje in her
whole, condition, an I now to-day she is in
good health and entirely relieved from all
former depressed feelings.
