Are You
With your land when for the
sake of saving a few dollars
you use a fertilizer whose
only recommendation is its
analysis. It requires no spe
cial knowledge to mix mate
rials to analyses. The value
of a fertilizer lies in the ma
terials used, so as not to
over feed the plant at one
time and starve at another.
This is why Royster brands

A BiT OF CHALK.
What It Shows When Placed Under a
Powerful Microscope.
Few people know what a wonderful
object a bit of chalk is when examined
under a microscope. Take your knife
blade and scrape off a little of the
loose powder, catch it on a clean glass
slide and place this ou the stage of a
good table tniAoscope. L'sc a quarter
inch objective lens and illuminate the
field with a cone of light from the
cancave side of t tie reflector. The pow
der will be seen to consist of a con
fused mass of beautiful tiny shells,
many of them of the most curious
form.
A better way, however, is to rub
down a portion of chalk with an old
toothbrush in a tumbler half tilled
with water. If you desire to prepare
several slides rub on about a teaspoon-,
ful of the powder. Shake the tumbler
briskly, allow the sediment to settle
for a moment and then carefully pour
jff the milky looking water.
Repeat this until the water remains
dear, and you will tbeu have left in
the bottom only perfect shells or large
?arts of shells. Tuke up a small pinch
sf this deposit and spread It carefully
over the center of a glass slide. Dry
over a lamp and if you wish to pre
serve the slide for future use mount It
in Canadu balsam, pressing out the
bubbles of air beneath the cover glass.
MECHANICAL INGENUITY.
A Full Rigged Ship That a Fly’s Wing
Would Cover.
Mauy instances of mechanical inge
nuity really remarkable to us in these
days, wheu we are supposed to have
advanced in learning, are related by
various ancient authors. The silver
sphere, “a most noble and Ingenious
performance,” which was presented to
Sultan Holy man the Magnificent by his
imperial majesty Ferdinand, Is men
tioned by Paulus Jovius as showiug
and keeping time with the motions of
the celestial bodies in various config
urations. it was carried to Constanti
nople by twelve men and there put to
gether by the artist that made it.
Mymecides. an ancient carver, was
so proficient in microscopic mechanism
that he made an ivory ship, with all
its decks, masts, yards, rigging and
sails, in so small a compass that it
might have been hidden under the
wing of a fly. He also made a chariot
with four wheels knd as many har
nessed horses, which took up scarcely
more room than the ship.
George Whitehead, an Englishman,
made a ship, with all things pertaining
to it, to move as if it sailed, upon a
table. “All hands were aloft, a woman
made good music on a lute, and a little
puppy cried in the midship, all of
which variety,” says the old writer,
“was pleasant and diverting.”
The Vulnerable Point.
Mrs. Holt could be. depended upon
at almost any time to sa.v the wrong
thing with the best intentions in the
world. “Nobody minds what poor
dear Fanny Holt says.” her friends
told each other when repeating her
remarks. “We know she means all
right.”
“Isn’t it queer how differently things
affect people?” one of Mrs. Holt’s
neighbors said to her the day after
a beach picnic. “We both got tired
to death, you and I. You say you’ve
had Just a little bit of indigestion,
while I have this fearful blind head
ache.”
“Why, that’s perfectly natural." said
Mrs. Holt cheerily. “Of course when
people are tired out it goes straight
to tlie weakest part of them. Mine is
my stomach, and everybody knows
yours is your head, poor dear!”—

Tha Word Silhouette.
The little black pictures called “sil
houettes” derive their name from Eti
enu£ de Silhouette, who was the
French minister of finance iu 1750.
His extreme economy in matters of
finance was caricatured by all classes,
and any cheap inode or fashion was
sarcastically called by his name.
About that time these profiles were
produced by casting the shadow of a
face on the paper by the light of a
caudle and tracing about it. Because
they were cheap they were called in
ridicule at the minister “silhouettes.”
and the name has ever since been re
tained.—Boston (I lobe.
All the Printer's Fault.
“What became of that paper you
were going to start in the interest of
uplifting tlie poor tramp?” asked the
interviewer.
“’Ah, it fell through.” confessed the
great reformer, with much agitation,
“and all on account of the blooming
carelessness of the printer.”
“Did he make a grave error?”
“I should say so. You know the pa
per was to be named the Bar of Hope.
Well, that idiot of a printer changed it
to the Bar of Soap, and as soon as my
constituents heard the name they
started running, and they are running
yet.”—Chicago News.
