We flu? a vusl difference iu the fer tility of differeut soils, writes C. L. McArthur, assistant bacteriologist, Ida bo experiment station. For instance, sand, although it may contain all the elements necessary for plant food, Is still found barren and without vegeta tion. Garden soils, however, may con tain less plant food than the sand and still be considered very fertile. This difference is usually due to the sub stance known as humus. Where the Immus is present the different ele ments are present in a form that plants can use. This humus is the remains of previous plants and animals. When plants die that part which is not used for commercial purposes usually goes back to the soil. In much the same way a great deal of the animal body reaches the soil. As soon as this material reaches the soil it is attacked by millions of bacte ria, whieh are known as the decompo sition bacteria. These bacteria soon cause a great many changes in the ma terial, each change tending to break down the complex into the more sim ple compounds. A part of this matt-rial is set free iu the form of gases and is lost In the atmosphere, but the greatest part remains in the soil its a partly de composed mass and is known as hu mus. Different classes of bacteria continue their work on this material after it has reached the form of humus, decompos ing it still further ami building plant food ami other substances from it. Thus we see that humus is continually changing. It is never the same in two different fields, and it also differs from year to year in the same lield. The addition of manure to a held docs a great deal toward the formation of humus. It not only adds decompos ing matter to the soil, but it also adds large numbers of bacteria which form humus out of the material already In the soil. Thus we Und that if it were not for the work Of bacteria there would not be any humus, as the various plant and animal matter would not de cay. CHOCOLATE AS A FOOD. It Should Be Eaten After and Never Before Meals. Chocolate is one of the most whole some of foods. But it should 1)0 re served for eating after meals. Nothing can bo worse than chocolate eaten just before a meal, for then it ruins the appetite. Chocolate should consist of equal parts of sugar and cocoa. When it contains, as most of that sold in the cheap candy stores does, more sugar than cocoa it loses much of its real food value. Koenig. the great German chemist, who has done so much to enlighten the world on the value of foods by publish ing his analysis of them, says that chocolate contains i>.'2~ per cent of pro tein. .<')'_' per cent of tbeobromine, 21.20 per cent of fat. 1.30 per cent of tar taric acid ,">:?.To per cent of sugar. 4.07 per cent of starch. 1.07 per cent of cel lulose and 5.59 per cent of other car bohydrates. Therefore it is highly nu tritive. Athletes, polar explorers and moun tain climbers know this well. In the Swiss Alps it is usual to carry choco late in the pocket and to eat a little of it whenever the climbers pause for a rest. But chocolate is fattening and should therefore be eschewed by those who have a tendency to tOo great cor pulency. It is an ideal addition to the diet of a vegetarian. Chocolate and cocoa are almost as stimulating as coffee and ten, but have none of the injurious effects upon the nervous system which are for many people tho great drawbacks of these drinks. Chocolate is best when made over night and allowed to stand.?New York World. A Knight In Topcoats. The late .Sir Tat ton Sykes, says the Manchester Guardian, had a way of his own of taking his walks comfort ably. A visitor in the neighborhood of SlCdmere would see the baronet set out for his morning round wearing two or three overcoats. When he felt warm enough he would take off lirst one and then another and lay it oq the nearest hedgerow. The person who found an overcoat and returned it to the house always received the reward of a shil ling, and no doubt, tho Sledmere boys were willing searchers. Unappreciated. "See, John," said Mrs. Slathers, with a happy smile, "I have taught the ca nary every time I come near him to stick out his little bill to be kissed." "Humph!" said Slathers, eying the bird critically. ?'Seems to me you spend your time teaching creatures how to present their bills for my atten tion. I got one from your milliner this morning, not to mention a dozen or two others in the same mail."?Har per's. Hopeless. A woman went to the police station to Inquire about ber missing husband. "What is his distinguishing feature?" asked the superintendent. "A large Roman nose." she answered. "Then he won't be found," emphatic ally exclaimed a policeman, "for a nose of that kind never turns up."?Pear son's Weekly. Hard to Find. "Don't get down In the mouth, old man." said the optimist. "Look on the bright side of things." "That's all very well," mournfully replied the sufferer, "but what, tell me. is the bright side of n gumboil?"? Philadelphia Ledger. CoTfinless Funeral. The Bacchanalian funeral in Italy, I which took half a day to reach ttio Durlal place, is very like what Dean Ramsay tells of bygone Scotland. There was the old maiden lauy ot Strathspey who bade her grandnephew toe that as much whisky was used at her funeral as had been used at her baptism. The churchyard was ten miles from her home; it was a short November daj: und night was closing In when the funeral procession ar rived. "But w haur's Miss Ketty?" ask ed the grave digger, uud being an swered, "In her coffin, to bo sure." bo 6till missed (he roflln. The party, dur ing a halt at a wayside inn, had rested It on a dyke, and forgotten It when they resumed their waj ; and the In? termont had to be postponed until the next day. We Will Please Von.
