How to Increase the Yieki of Fruit Increased fruit crops arc morc often inrsut of good manage ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and iruit plants need a liberal supply of Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers The trees absorb plant fos, i-' trogen, phosphoric acid and potash-from the soil just the same as any other crop. -xperi ence has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so well recognized that" return to the land what the tree removes if you would expect the best results" has become an axiom with the best growers. Apple, pear, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to careful fertilization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. "I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. 0. Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., "and yours proved to be the best. The yield where I used Virginia-Caronna Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolna Fertilizers are cheapest becauseof their good qualities-give better satisfaction and quicker results. Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are pub lished in the new 1909 Farmers' Year Book. a copy of which will oe sent free on application to any of our sales offices. - Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. &les of-cs Sas Ojpcei Richmond, '-- Durham, N.

In 10S Zing James published his famaous "Book of Sports" and, thinking to render the Presbyterian form of worship less rigid, ordered that cer tain of the sports therein commended should be played in the several church yr rds every Sunday at the close of divine service. John Ross, a minister of Blairgc'wrie, adopted a novel method of withstanding the royal ordinance. He was a strong, athlezic man and seemed much interested in the recrea tions enjoined by the monarch. Foot ball was selected by the parishioners of Blairgowric from the list of "Sun day games." When the services of the church were completed Mr. Ross ap peared among his people in the church yard and joined them in their sport. None of the assemblage kicked more eagerly at the football than did the reverend incumbent. But constant misfortune seemed to attend him. E7 cry kick missed the ball'and fell heavi ly on the ankles of those who stood near. Apologies were promptly ten dered and, of course, received, though every Sunday many of the parishion ers returned home halting. Finally it was agreed that on account of the minister's awkwardness the games should be abandoned. Thus the in genious divine gained his end and pre vented compliazice with the obnoxious order. Where Greek Met Greek. The marble clock in the dining room had just announced in mellow tones the hour of 3 a. m., when the wife of the plumber nudged him and whis pered nervously: "Horace, there's a burglar in the house!" "There is, hey?" answered the hus band, now thoroughly awake. "I'll see about him." With cunning stealth he got out of bed and tiptoed out of the room. For ten minutes no sound broke the awful stillness. Then the house shook with a crash. There was a century of si lence. Then a chair fell, the front door slammed and a heavy bundle thumped down the front stairs and into the street. The terrified wife fainted, to be brought back to consciousness by the voice of her husband. "It's all right, dear. I threw him out," he chuckled as he turned on the light. "But the scoundrel had only $4.30 in his clothes."-Judge. How Mayne Reid Won His Bride. It was through his novel, "The Scalp Hunters," that Captain Mayne Reid won a bride. He was thirty years old when he met a damsel of thirteen, with whom he at once fell in love. The child took no notice of him, but he gave her the story to read. Two years later the young lady was at a public meeting where Captain. Reid spoke on behalf of the Polish refugees. "An electric thrill seemed to pass through me as he entered the rooih," she said afterward,,and when the meeting was over she went up to him. "I leave for London on the next train," he said hur riedly. "Please send me your ad dress." "I do not know where," she replied, with some embarrassment. He instantly handed out his card and was gone. A formal. little note followed: "Dear Captain Reid-As you asked me to send you my address, I do so." By. return of post came the answer, "Only say that you love me and I will be with you at once," and then the reply.I "I think I do love you." Whittier's Apnlause. In his declining years the poet Whit tier was extremely absentminded. He attended a church meeting where thereF were a large number of persons. As his presence was known, it was deemed fitting by one of the speakers to quote the poet's lines: I know not where his Islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his lov~e and gare. Great applause greeted the quotation. and Whittier was noticed to join in the handelapping. "I suppose I must have had my mind on something else. I had no recollection of liaving written the verse;" he said apologetically when his attention was called to the author ship.-Boston Post. Legal Fiction. Says Sir .enury Maine in his "An. cent Law:" "A legal fiction is the as sumption which conceals or affects to conceal the fact that a rule of law has undergone alteration, Its letter remain ing unchanged while Its operation has been modified.

E. Arant. An Amateur Conjurer. During a little pedestrian trip a gen tieman came unexpectedly upon a country race course and on one por tion of the ground found a thimblerig establishment in full work. Notwith standing the remonstrance ri' his com panion, the gentleman, v. o was a bit of a madcap, insisted on watching the game. "Now, would the gent like to wager a crown he could find the pea?" re marked the expert. "Yes," was the reply. The money was on both sides depos Ited. and the pedestrian. lifting up the thimble, pointed out the required pea and took the stakes. A second bet, "double or quits," end ed, to the surprise of the expert. in the same result. Then a third wager, "a pound or nothing," steadied the nerves of the loser, and the trick was accomplished with great caution. The gentleman lifted up the thimble and showed the pea, at the same time pocketing the stakes. "S'help me," etc., "I didn't put it there!" exclaimed the bewildered art Ist. "No, but I always carry my own pea," rejoined the man who had come out right as he went on his way with the spoils of war.-London Tit-Bits. In Modern Egypt. Douglas Sloden's book on Egypt contains some curious anecdotes. For instance: "My doctor was called to see an Egyptian who was in a very low state. 'What Is the matter?' he asked. 'I think it is only depression. I have been a fool and lost a law case. T would not backsheesh the other man ; lawyer, and he backsheeshed mine.' Later on when another Egyptian told my friend that he had won a law case my friend said, 'I suppose you back sheeshed the other man's lawyer?' The Egyptian gave a beautiful smile and said, 'How did you know?"' And again: "I was at Luxor when they were recruiting for the army. If a young man was found to be phys ically fit his relations were plunged in grief. Professional mourners were hired to squat outside the police sta tion where the recruiting took place, yelling and weeping. If, on the other hand, he was rejected as undersized or a weakling or tainted with a loath some disease, pis relations and friends flew to him rejoicing and kissed him and hung on his neck." "Goes" of Whisky. Forty "goes" of whisky had been consumed by the licensed victualer, and still he was sober-at least so he told the city coroner. "Goes" is a com mon i:erm in this connection, but It lacks the full appropriateness to the situat.on of its Scottish .equivalent in the story of another big drink told by Dean Ramsay. It was at a party near Arbroath, held to celebrate the recon ciliation of two farmers who had long been enemies. When the party at last broke up, at a morning hour, the pe nuriotr lady of the house, 'who had not been able to sleep a wink for snxiety, called over the stairs to the servant: "How many bottles of whisky have they Tsed, Betty?"

A well known actor tells a story of a ne'er-do-well in a little New Eng and town where he ha's often spent his summers. "I was walking down the main street one day," said he, "when I saw old Silas grinning from ear to ear. I hardly thought that he was that glad to see me. So after spaking to him I said: 'Why the smile that won't come off, Silas? What has happened to make you so happy this morning?' TIve been a-gittin' married this mornin',' was the unexpected re ply. 'Married! You?' I exclaimed. 'Why, Silas, what on earth have you done that for? You know you can't even support-yourself as it is.' 'Waal,' said Silas, 'you see, it's this way: I ken purty near support myself, an' I kind of figured out that she could fin ish up the job.' "-Argonaut A Sensible Person. An old Scottish lady .during her last Illness was assiduously attended by a'physcan, to whom she invariably gave a guinea ,when he came to see her. He told the friends with whom she lived that her death would proba bly be very sudden, and one day when she seemed to have become uncon scious the doctor was hastily sent for. On his arrival he found that his pa tient had ceased to exist, and, taking hold of her right hand. which was closed, but not rigid, he calmly ex tracted from It the customary fee, re Iarking as he did so to the attendant friends, "Sensible to the last!'

Take Foley' Kidney Remedy as soon as you notic. any irregrularities, and avoid a seriou Origin of Old Glory. In the reminiscences of Lord Ronald Gower is found a story of the origin of the stars and stripes. The "star spangled banner" of the American republic had its origin from an old brass on the floor of an ancient church in Northamptonshire. The brass covers the tomb of one Robert Wash ington and is dated 1G22. On it ap pears the Washington coat of arms, consisting of three stars, with bars or stripes beneath them. On the first day of the new year, 1776, the thirteen united colonies raised a standard at Washington's headquarters. This introduced the stripes of the present, but retained the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a b'ue ground in the, borier. In 1777 uae crosses were replaced by stars. as the Declaration of Independence rendered the retention of the English element unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus adopting the arms of his ancestors as his own distinctive badge Washington no doubt intended the flag merely as a private signal for his own personal fol lowing, but it was at once adopted as a national emblem. Probably there is not another case in the world's history in which the private arms of an ob scure family have attained such world wide eminence and repute. The Bank Could Stand It. A western lawyer tells of a remark able instance of the convincing power of feminine logic as evidenced by an occurrence which he once witnessed while standing on the edge of a crowd that was besieging the doors of a bank supposed to be on the point of sus pending payment. A conversation between a rosy cheek ed Irishwoman and her husband, who were near the lawyer, at once attract ed his attention. "Mary," said the man, "we must push up, so ye can dhraw your money at onctr' "But I don't want to draw it out, Roger," replied Mary placidly. "Don't ye know, Mary," persisted the husband, "that they'll lose your mon ey for ye if ye don't hurry t' dhraw it out?" "An' shure, Roger," retorted Mary, "ain't they better able to lose it than we are?" Roger was stunned by this unan swerable logic, and after a few more words the two withdrew. Fortunate ly the bank survived its difficulties, and no depositor lost a cent.-Harper's. A Purse For the Bride. Some brides may be inclined to re gret that the old marriage custom of the dow purse has fallen into disuse. It was the custom of the bridegroom to fill a purse with a goodly sum of money and present It to the bride on the wedding day as the price of the, purchase of her person. It sounds like slavery, like the buying of goods and chattels, yet the bride had a nice lit tle sum of money for her own use. Some of the oldest inhabitants of Cumberland may remember a similar custom in that county. The bride groom provided himself with a num ber of gold and silver pieces, and at the words "with all my worldly goods I thee endow" he handed the clergy man his fee and poured the other coins inito a handkerchief held out for that purpose by the bride. In other places, again, the bride had the right to ask her husband for a gift of money or property on the day after the wed ding, and he was bound in honor to grant the request.--London Answers. Sixty Kinds of Bananas. To most persons in the temperate zoes a banana is a banana. But the truth is that there are over sixty known varieties of the fruit, with as great or great'er variation in character as in the different kinds of apples. Hawaii is said to have something over forty distinct varieties of the fruit, most of which have been introduced by the whites. Some of these are of extremely delicate and delicious flavor, while other kinds are used, if at all, only when cooked in various ways. There lsi scarcely a city house lot or country "kuleana" or homestead which does not have a clump or, two of ba nanas, which grow with practically no care, new plants or suckers shooting up ,to replace the ones which have fruited and been removed.-Los An geles Times.

Cooking With Sunlight. Sun cooking-roasting and boiling by sunlight instead of coal or gas-has been going on for 300 years. There are sun s-tres that roast a sirloin or boil a -;, .. to perfection. They are only used, however, by scientists. A sun stove consists mainly of a mirror a spherical mirror on a joint. There is also a reflector. The place fer pot or plate is so situated that the mirror's rays can be focused on it accurately. A German, Baron Tchernhausen, was the first sun cook. He began in 1687 to boil water, and in 1688 he had very good success at baking eggs. Sir John Herschel and Buffton are other fa mous names associated with sun cook ing. In California various sun cooks have boiled a gallon of water in twen ty minutes, roasted meat in two hours and poached eggs in fifteen minutes quite as- good time as the ordinary fire makes. An odd thing about meat roasted by sun rays is that it has an unpleasant taste. This is avoided by the insertion of a plate of yellow glass between meat and mirror. In all solar stoves the sheet of yellow glass fg ures.-Cincinnati Enquirer. Queer English Laws. "No statute law of England ever can be obsolete," a legal journal says. "Once enacted, it continues in binding force until repealed." If such be really the case, there ought to be some lively times ahead for several classes of the community. For instance, what will builders have to say to the act which penalizes any person who erects a house without at taching -to it at least four acres of land? This was one of "good Queen Bess'" laws, and it has most certainly never been repealed. By another unrepealed statute, which dates back to the first year of King James I., it is enacted that not more than a penny may be charged for a quart of the best old ale nor more than a halfpenny for a like quantity of small beer. The penalty for each in fraction of the act is 20 shifnings, so that if it were rigidly enforced it would not need, apparently, a licensing bill to ruin the brewers. Then, again, a Catholic owning a horse is still legal ly obliged to sell it for J5 to anybody who chooses to offer that sum for it. London Graphic. The First Mourning Paper. The oldest known letter written or black edged note paper as a sign of mourning appears to be one dated Jan 5, 1683. In Addison's comedy of "The Drummer," 1715, reference is made tc the fashion in the words, "My lady's mourning paper that is blacked at the edges." A few years later Allan Ram, say, who died in 1758. speaks in one of his poems of "the- sable bordered sheet" as a messenger of sorrow. Mann, writing from Italy to Horace Walpole in 1745, says that it was uni versally used in Florence at that time The superior elegance of this Italiat note paper, with its narrow margin ol black, explains its ready acceptance ir this country. where it superseded tb quarto sheet with a black border some times a quarter of an inch wide. II this way it probably gave an impetu, to the fashion. But it is a mistake t( suppose, as some have done, that the fashion was introduced from Italy. London Answers. - Caught Alive.
