crowns when the old field of alfalfa is broken up and also by the mechanical action of its roots upon the soil. Furthermore. the preparation of the land prior to seeding the alfalfa and the treatment in the way of top dressing and fertilizing which follow during the few years of its existence doubtless have a very beneficial effect on the crops succeeding it. In actual practice, then, alfalfa improves good land, but cannot be conBidered In connection with poor land.

Black Hole of Calcutta. The innate corruption and depravity of human nature were perhaps aaraf more clearly brought out than In the historic Hlack Hole of Calcutta. That atrocity stands unrivaled as an instance of the utmost suffering humanity can endure, passed through bv a large number, yet leaving a few survivors to tell tho tale. Many more have been slain or executed at one time, death being expected; but probably only safe keeping of the pris

oners was intended, and only fear of breaking a despot's sleep prevented their earlier release. Yet this torture, "unequaled in history of fiction,' whose record cannot be read unmoved

after the lapse of a hundred and fifty years," was produced merely by crowding men together in an ill ventilated room. Xo fires, racks, nor scourges were needed; all that was done or required to be done was to take from each the amount of air and space to which he was accustomed, crush him into close proximity with his fellows, and the thing was accomplished.

"Oh, I didn't worry about you, dear," said the woman; "but it grew so late I was afraid that before you got back to town the fish markets would all be closed." National Monthly.

Tt has been a matter of doubt until recently as to just what agencies were responsible for cross-pollenation In ap pie orchards. It was thought that the wind was a factor as well as the honey bees and other insects. It has been proved, however, that the wind ha3 very little to do in aiding cross-pollenation, and that honey bees, wild bees and other insects are very necessary for the transference of pollen. To determine the importance of the honey bee and other insects as factors in cross-pollenation, an experiment was carried on by the Kansas exneri-

tunes when it would be difficult to work other land on account of being wet and muddy. When we apply manure to the ( lover we are getting the lever under the very center of gravity of the farm. If we lift the clover crop the whole farm comes up with it and produces larger and more profitable crops.

' There are some quite remarkable things happening every day, which seem almost miraculous. Some persons would not believe that a man could suffer from coffee drinking so severely as to cause spells of unconsciousness. And to find relief In changing from coffee to Postum is well worth recording. "I used to be a great coffee drinker, so much so that it was killing me by inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. friends, and even the doctor, told me it was drinking coffee that caused the trouble. I would not believe it. and still drank coffee until I could not leave my room. "Then my doctor, who drinks Postum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-

iee ana try Postum. After much hesitation I concluded to try it. That was

eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months. "I feel better, sleep better and am better every way. I now drink nothing but Postum and touch no coffee, and as I am seventy years of age al( my friends think the improvement Quite remarkable "
