Deeper than it seems — mud .—New 
Haven News. 
The Chinese are an industrious people, and 
yet they have a great deal of idol time.— Life. 
Taken as a whole, the Indians, although 
illiterate, are the best red race in the world. 
— Harper's Bazar. 
A Boston woman, when writing to invite a 
friend to dine with her, does not dare to affix 
“N B” to her letter, lest it be interpreted 
“ No beans .”—Field and Farm. 
Brown: "I see by your watch, Robinson, 
it is about an hour ahead of sun time.” 
Robmson: “Yes, I don’t see what’s got into 
the sun lately.”— Harper's Bazar. 
Guest (in restaurant): “Waiter, where’s 
that cheese I ordered 1” Waiter: “It’s com¬ 
ing, sir, coming.” Guest: “ Well, I wi-h 
you’d ask it to hurry.” —Texas Sijtmgs. 
“Calumny,” says a philosopher, “is like a 
coal; if it does not burn it will soil.” Yes; 
and calumny warms a man about as well as 
coal, too. Still, we prefer coal.— Lije. 
“ The only reason why I got my ears 
boxed,” said Johnny, “ was because when

their fragrance. As the service was about to 
begin, Kitty^ whispered: “Ob, mamma, don’t 
it smell solemn?”— Liberty Tribune. 
A Poet is burn, not made. This is lucky 
for the poet. If the populace caught him in

injunction se. ved on him so quick that it 
would make his head swim.— Puck. 
At the Registry Office. —Clerk: “Your 
age, please.” Woman Voter (facetiously):

Boston Transcript. 
A city boarder in.the country awoke at 5

mower. Thinking he was still at home, he 
nudged his wife and said, “ There’s that girl 
next door practicing her singing lessons 
again .”—Norristown Herald. 
Wife revisiting the scene of her betrothal: 
“I remember, Algernon, so well when you 
proposed to me, how painfully embarrassed 
you were.” Algernon: “Yes, dear; and I 
remember so well bow kin l and encouraging 
you were, and how very easy you made it for 
me, after all.”— Lite. 
Mrs. Suburb (reading): “The really ef¬ 
ficient laborer, says Thoreau, wiil be found not 
to unduly crowu bis day with work, but will 
saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo 
of ease and leisure.” Mr. Suburb: “Humph! 
Thoreau never lived where he had to catch 
trains .”—Philadelphia Record. 
Britisher: “And have you any—aw— 
pawk in Cinciunaughty like Hyde Pawk, 
ye know?” Miss Bacon: “Any pork? Well, 
in good round fat numbers, I should say 
about 50,000 to the square mile.” Britisher:

Bacon.”— Harper's Buzar.

tain. There's going to be a weddin’ though, 
mister, an don’t you forgit it.”— Echo.

The Bowker Fertilizer Company were the first to take the plant as the guide to the manu¬ 
facture of fertilizers, studying it and its wants, and makiDg fertilizers to meet those wants. 
They proceed upon the principle of feeding the plant rather than the soil; for the soil has no 
life in itself, hence no wants, it is the plant which lives and grpws upon the food which is fed 
to it; and, if the food is sufficient and suitable, it thrives, if not, it fails. This is the Stock- 
bridge system of plant feeding originated by Prof. Stockbridge. and which has been extensively 
cotied by other manufacturers, but the copies have not been equal to the original in crop-pi o- 
ducing power. "PAMPHLETS MAILED FREE.
