How to Increase the Yield of Fruit Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good manage ment than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit pllants need a liberal supply of Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers The trees absorb plant foods-that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash-from the soil just the sarme as any other crop. Experi 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 tne best fertilizers. " I made a test with other companies' fertilizers," savs Mr. H. 0. Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla., " and yours proved to'be the best. The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest because of 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 190) Farmers' Year Book. a copy of which will be sent free on application to any of our sales ofiices.

Yorswie.wae.n radyA to sev o Mansfield's "Likeness." Richard Mansfield once asked Frank 4k. Nankivell to make a picture of him. rhe actor explained that he wanted in imitation of an old Roman coin with his own profile shown instead of Caesar's. "Do you want an absolute likeness, )r shall I idealize it a-bit?" asked Nan kivell. "I want an absolute likeness," re )lied Mr. Mansfield stiffly, and the irtist made a sketch of his patron. When the completed picture-a splen lid piece of work that looks as if it were embossed-was shown to Mr. Viansfield he was not pleased. "It looks like a prizefighter," said Sir. Mansfield. "That is not my fault," said Nanki ;ell. "You know that you said you wanted a likeness." There was a further exchange of courtesies, and then Mansfield sug zested that the artist try again. "Ex use me," said Nankivell. "Once will lo me." "Well, change this picture a little," said the actor. "Perhaps you can fix it up." "Not a fix," said the artist as he rolled up the picture and prepared to go with a parting shot. "You don't want an' artist to draw your picture; Fou want a lithographer. Good day." No Apologies.

On Jan. 19, 1805, Dr. Manners-Sut :on, bishop of Norwich, was giving a linner party ~in his Windsor deanery ven his butler informed him that a ;entleman wished particularly to see im, but would not give his name. "Well, I can't come now in the mid le of dinner," said the bishop. "Beg pardon, my lord, but the gen. :leman is very anxious to see you on mportant business," and the butler v-as so urgent that the bishop apolo ~ized to his company and went out.

D'ye accept-accept? Eh, The bishop bowed low in token of Lceptance. "All right," said his majesty. 'You've got a party-see all their hats ere. Go back to them. Good night." Next morning Pitt appeared at Wind ;or castle to inform his majesify that archbishop Moore had died the day be tore and to~ recommend the bishop of incoln, Dr. Pretyman, for the vacant ~rimacy. "Very s:>rry, very sorry, indeed, itt," said the king, "but I offered It to he bishop of Norwich last night, and ae accepted. Can't break my word."

One of the first instances on record of a body returned by a Swiss glacier is that of the Hamel accident, which took place in 1820. Several guides were swept down by an avalanche and hurled into a crevasse. Hamel prophe sied that the glacier would yield them up again in the course of a thousand years. but Dr. Forbes believed that the end of the glacier woild be reach ed by the bodies in forty years. This statement was considered bold, but its accuracy was borne out by the event. In forty years the flow of ice brought the bodies to light. In 1866 Henry Arkwright was lost in a glacier. In just thirty-one years his brother received a telegram from the mayor of Chamouni that the body was found. Every article of clothing was intact. His name and regiment could be read clearly on his handker chief, and his gold pencil case opened and shut as easily as when he last used it three decades before.-"True Tales of Mountain Adventure."

The theory is frequently advanced that planets and even suns sometimes explode and that the earth may some day blow up like a bombshell. No celestial body the slze of the earth ould possibly explode. If the. entire molten interior of our globe could be replaced with nitroglycerin and deto aated the- explosion would not lift the earth's crust. In other words, if we issume that the crust of the earth is from fifty to a hundred miles in thick ess it would require something much m~ore powerful than even nitroglycerin to burst the shell. It is necessary only to do a little figuring to see that the pressure of the earth's crust at a lepth of from fifty to a hundred miles far exceeds the pressure exerted by the most powerful hig:h explosive.

In the home of a certain influential family they arose one morning to find that no breakfast had been prepared. even the kitchen 2re had not been lighted. Upon investigation the cook was discovered peacefully reclining in bed. "Are you ill?" inquired the mistress. "Not at all. I feel quite well." was the surprising response, but still no persuasion would induce her to arise. After a time the doctor was sent for. He put to her his usual questions, but the girl insisted that she felt perfectly well. "If, as you say, you are not ill." said the man of pills and potions, "then tell me in confidence why you won't get up and go to work." "Well," said the girl resolutely, "these people owe me $25, and I won't stir until they pay it." "Do you think you'll get it quicker by staying in bed?' asked the doctor. "I most certainly do," she replied, with a gleam of the eye that expressed determination to fight it out on tha line if It took all summer. The doctor, advancing, said: "Roll over and stay there. That's the only way you'll get it. They owe me $80." -National Magazine. Marriage In Japan. A Japanese husband is allowed only one wife. butio marry is sometimes a much more serious matter than with us. Either the husband must be form ally adopted into the family of the wife or the wife into the family of the husband, the couple being absorbed into one family and subject to its discipline. As a rule, this custom weighs more heavily on the bride than on the husband, for she must not only obey her husband, but every membei of his family of an older generation than himself: hence a young woman often longs for old age, so that she may wield authority over the youngel generations. To bring about a mar riage in Japan an intermediary is ap pointed, whose duty it is to introduce the parties and to look to every ar rangement of the wedding. He re mains through life the guide, philos opher and friend of the married cou ple, who refer all matters, all misun derstandings, to his counsel. - Pear son's. Sneezing.
