Are You Honest? 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.

At first there were brushes between the soldiers of the Island garrison and the insurgents, and lives were lost on both sides. Then the comnmnder. Generai Walpole, be thought him of having 10O dogs trained to track slaves brought from Cuba. These powerful and savage brutes. misnamed bloodhounds. were really of the mastiff tribe, says the London Chronicle. After being muzzled they were led to the position taken up by the malcontents. General Walpole sent a message to the slaves threaten ing to unmuzzle and unleash the anil mals if they did not surrender. The negroes, who had shown themselves to be by no mean. afraid of the bul lets of the military, were now mad with terror. They threw down their arms and gave in. remarks a con temporary historian of Jamnica. "It is pleasing to observe that not a drop of blood was spilled after the dogs ar rived in the island."

Gilbert islands Tipple. Neither tea nor coffee is drunk in the Gilbert islands, but liquor named kara fee, or toddy. It is the juice of the co conut tree, from which it is drawn daily at sunrise and sunset.

Cut off a part of the nib to form a small tube. Fit a crys ta or part of one of carborundumn into the tube, take It out again and dip one end in cement and replace it. Next wind a piece of fine wire tightly around the tube and part of the handle and fix it in a notch cut in the latter. Put It aside for a day to allow the ce muent to harden. A glass cutter made thus will do its work as well as the expensive diamond and a great deal better than the ordinary wheel cutter CASTOR!IA br Tnfants andi Children.

Despite the fact that the spider. next to the mouse, is most violently stimti lating to feminine sensitiveness, It is an insect of a very good character. It feeds exclusively upon other freshly killed insects, and they are the kinds denounced by sanitary authorities, the housefly i..-ng its favorite quarry. His service in reducing the numbers of this pest is considerable, because the spider Is always busy. and he is present in countless numbers, says Leslie's Weekly. The reason why he is not more frequently seen Is that he is retiring In his habits and shuns hu man society quite as much as that shuns him. He seldom bites anything but food. and even when in self de fense he does assert himself the result Is no worse than a mosquito bite or a bee sting. The touching story of "The Spider and the Fly" was evidently in tended to invite sympathy for the fly When You Need Folev's Orino Laxative.

"In the re assessment of property, commencing Janunry 1, 1910, County Auditors must require of all tax payers an itemized return of all property subject to taxation "at its true value in money," which is construed to mean "the sum for which said property under ordinary circumstances would sell fo reash."
