Englisil Church With a Bell Tower Half a Mile Away. It is generally supposed that the vil lage church of East Bergholt. Suffolk, is the only one in England which pos sesses an entirely distinct building for its belfry. The bells of this church are hung In a shed many yards away from the church and are worked from above instead of from beneath. The church of Warmsworth, how ever, a village situated about two miles from Doncaster, can boast of a belfry which is about half a mile away from the church. As the crow files the dis tance between church and belfry, which !s known as Bell Tower, is 2,350 feet, tle distance by road being about half a mile. The belfry is by no means a make shift building. The tower, in fact, is said to date back to the twelfth cen tury, and the reason of its isolation forms a rather curious story. The church was originally built on its pres ent site to accommodate the villagers of both Warmsworth and Balby, the latter village being half a mile from the former. The tower was then placed in Warms worth in order that the parishioners might hear the bell, which stops ring ing a quarter of an hour before the service in order to enable the bell ring er to get to the church in time.-Lon don Strand. THE "BONE AGE" IN KANSAS. In Early Days the Plain Was Strewn With Buffalo Skeletons. The pioneers of Kansas will never forget the "buffalo bone age." When central and southwestern Kansas were settled the prairies were strewn with bnffalo bones. Those were hard times in Kansas, and the gathering of these bones enabled the early settlers to live while they were getting their claims "broken out" for the producing of crops. Nine-tenths of the pioneers of that section of Kansas - and there weren't many at that-had literally nothing but a team and a few house hold goods that they had hauled from the east In a single wagon. Of course there were no buffalo, for this was in the late seventies, but their bones strewed the plains, and these bones were the only thing that had a com mercial value, and they were utilized. They were hauled in great wagon loads to the nearest railway, often from sixty to a hundred miles away, and sold. The horns were the more valuable, and they went first, but the rest of the skeleton soon followed. There were no fortunes made by these early bone hunters, for a large load of buffalo bones brought only from $5 to $8 at the railroad towns, but the pro ceeds from a load enabled the settler to buy a little flour, coffee and occa sionally meat and lumber. - Kansas City Star. Rising From th: Grave. A prominent ianufaeturer, Wi. A Ferwell, of Lucana, N. C.. relates a most Iemirkable experience. He says: After taking less than three bottles of Electric Bitters.

Man wants to be comfortable as a cat on a warm hearth rug, to feel nd prick of conscience, to see nothing un pleasant. such as tears or a wan face.

Brown & Co: Carlyle -and the .Ax Carlyle as a schoolmaster was a terror to eviloers. Even the biggest and boldest boys wilted. when he growled out "dunce" or "'blockhead." He did not thrash often,. as his scowl was enough to hush a w hole school, but when be did thrash he meant busi ness. One day a joiner pnesing along the road heard the most piteous howls and cries for mercy ,nnd help coming from the schoolhouse. Rlushing in and handing his ax to Carlyle, he exclaim ed: "Jist doo't ootricht,. mon, and no mine maiters." How It Strack the Parrot. Here is the latest parrot story. A. certain retired general of the Indian army possessed a parrot and also a very irascible temperament. The par rot was a valuable bird, but was rather a nuisance by reason of its extreme talkativeness. One day while the gen eral was writing his business letters the parrot kept up a continual chatter, very disturbing to the writer. At last the general could stand it no longe, and, jumping up, he seized the cage of the unhappy bird, which he whirled igorously round and round, at the same time shouting furiously. Then he set the cage down again, and si lence for some time ensued. At length, however, a feeble voice came from the interior of the cage. "General," it Inquired in quavering accents, "where were you when that cyclone struck us?"-London Tit-Bits. Royalty's Game. Cards have always been a rcyal game. Queen Elizabeth played csrds and lost her temper over them fre quently. She was no Anne of Austria, to play "like a queen, without passion of greed or gain." In her reign was commanded to be played "at Wynd sore a Comedie or Morral devised on a game of the cardes," which resulted in the performance by the children of her majesty's chapel of "Alexander and Campaspe," In which the pretty lines occur: Cupid and my Campaspe "layed At cards for kisses.

Of aIl the Order.; of mediaeval chival ry wvhie: ave sur Vicd the shock of sucressive revolutions on the continent of Europe since the great cataclysm of 17S9 that of the Golden Flece is per haps the most distiuguished and the most highly coveted by personages of royal birth or of illustrious patrician lineage. The badge of the order is a figure of a Sheep ini eLmbossed gold suspended from a heavy chain of gold. The full robes consist of a long mantle of crim son velvet cut in the fashion of a sac rdotal cope. richly embroidered at the borders with emblematic devices of stars, half moons and fleeces of gold and lined with white satin, over a doublet and hose of crimson damask. The full robes also comprise a "chap eron." or hood, with a long, flowing streamer of black satin, but this head gear has in modern times been general ly dispensed with. Originally the robes of the order, which was founded in 1429 by Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, were of crimson cloth lined with white' lamb's. wool, and this circumstance has 'some i what strengthened the theory that the Golden Fleece was instituted 'by Philip the Good in grateful recognition of the immense treasures.which the Duke of Burgundy had acquired from the wool of the flocks reared on his vast estates in Fland-ers. lBe it as it may, the wool en costume was changed in 1473 at a chapter held in Valenciennes for the more costly materials of velvet, taffeta, damask and golden embroidery.-Lon don Telegraph.. CASTOR IA For Infants and& Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of , , HOW MUJCH HRTXLIZER TO APPLY. The question. ".How much fertilizer should be used per acre?" cannot be an swered definitely. 'out only in a general way. It is sometimes put in this for: "What is the mnost profitable amount that may be applied per' acre?" Neither can the question in, the amended form: be exactly and accurately answered.. The soil, its character. condition, preparation. etc.. may I'. wer known. or controllable factors. 'out we know not what tile sea sons may be. says lHon. Rl. 3. Redding, Diector Georgia Experiment Station, De partment of Agriculture, in the Virginia Carolina Fertilize;' Aamanae. . We know that some crops vwill bear larger amounts of fertilizers with reason able assurance of profitable returns than ay be expecte~d of other so1ls. A crop that occupies the so'il from the fall season until spring, or early summer, will bear heavier fertilizin;g than will a crop that is planted in the spring and ripens for harvest in midsummer; The lrst case is illustrated by vats, wheat, or other small grain, or grass, especially when sown in the fall of the year. Such a crop occu pies the soil during Lie late fall andi win -ter. and ea rly spring-during which pe riois the rains are usually abundant ripning for' harvest in late spring, or very <-urly summer. becfore the burning summer heat and possible drouths of June and July, Oats and wheat therefore are ideal e'rops for liberal fertilizing. Corn is rather an uncertain crop on the ordinary dry 'solands of the South, It has but a short period in which to devel op its flowers-tassels and silks-cover ing but a few da:.s. If very dry weather shall prevail when this critical period is aproching. and for some time after it ispsed, the crops may prove a greater or less failure. There can be no second effo'rtno second period of blooming. It is different in the case of cotton, W hi ch commences to bloom and make fuit in June (or even earlier) and con ius throughr'ut the summer until chc.ed by a severe frost in November. It h-s a inmber of "chances." Cotton i-s there'fore another ideal crop for liber" fertilirzing. A small amount of fertlzer..~s applied per acre will no doubt yield a larger percentage profit on its cost than will a larger amount. To illustrate: An application of $2 worth of fcrtilizer per' acre may cause an in creased yield of cotton (at 10 cents per pound) of the value of SS to St. or a prolit of 200 to ZO% nor cent. on its cost. I have frequently had such results, But it does not follow thatt twice as heavy an appli cation will produce twice as large re suts. or that three tim;es as much would cause three times. as great an increase in the yield. In othe words. the rate of increase in the yield of cotton will not be in proportion to the increase in the amourt of fertilizers appied.
