WANT ANY FERTILIZER!

The Chilean Government Giving Away Nitrate of Soda to American Fknnen. r6-"

The Chilean government has appro-' priated a large sum of money to pay for the transportation of several cargoes of nitrate from Chile to the United States and the establishment hare of a bureau of distribution. A commissioner has been appointed who represents the Chilean government here in the tests to be made with it in comparison with domestic fertilizers.

The people of Chile believe that if the farmers of this country once know the valtte of nitrate of soda as a fertilizer they will use it in preference to the manufactured fertilizers. But Chile's first aim is to develop a market for its nitrates in the United States. Up to the present time England and one or two other European countries have been the consumers of the nitrate found in Chile. Very little is exported to the United States. And the reason for this, so say the Chileans, is that the merits of this peculiar fertilizer are almost unknown to American agriculturists.

For the past two months the Chilean government has been distributing small packages of nitrate of soda from Wash ington, where the Cltflean agent has ear. tablished temporary headquarters and is' working in conjunction with the depart ment of agriculture. Up to the present time a ship's cargo has been given out in this way to farmers and horticulturists. Experiments in the past prove that the nitrate is a valuable top dressing for wheat and oats, a hundredweight of the nitrate per acre producing an increase in the crop of 12 bushels per acre in wheat and from four to five sacks in oats. Arrangements are being made to send to a large number of prominent farmers in various parts of this country a sufficient quantity of nitrate to fertilize an acre of land, in order that the results may be compared with other fertilizers used in adjoining ground. Several cargoes of nitrate will be sent here from Chile for this purpose.—New York World.

A BLIND GIRL PRINTER.

She Quickly Learns to Set Type With Speed and Accuracy.

A remarkable case of what can be done by a blind person is now being exemplified at Swaledale, near Mason City, la Some 12 weeks ago S. B. Angell purchased the Swaledale Bee, anL not having enough assistance his blind sister, Miss Hattie Angell, prevailed upon him to allow her to go into the office and assist in the work. For the first few days she found occupation in folding papers, etc., and she soon became so proficient in that she asked to be allowed to set type and was given a case to see what she could do. In less than an hour she had the boxes learned, and her first stickf ul of type was set in 50 minutes.

What is still more remarkable, she can now set as much type as the aver-/ age compositor and do it with greater accuracy. She experiences but little difficulty with her copy. She is expert in writing the language of the blind* and matter is dictated to her. Writing^ it down in her language, she goes to her case, and gliding her fingers over the raised surface she retains in her mind entire sentences and accordingly can set with great rapidity. In order to get the type right side up her middle finger is used in feeling the nicks, and this is done while the type is being lifted into position to the stiok. She has not yet attempted to distribute type, but she expects to soon become master of this art as well. Miss Angell is a very intelligent young woman and is a fine player on the piano.'jl|She has also achieved quite a little fame as a singer. —Pittsburg Dispatoh.

Don't Like the Sample,

British naval experts, on the3 wholer are not particularly enthusiastic as to the merits of the United States cruiser Chicago. It is admitted that the crew are very smart, but they are too juvenile looking altogether to please the English eye. The vessel looks well, but being old, as warships go, she lacks many improvements which are to be found on the later built ships. One calmly superior critic declares that the Chicago's chief merit consists in roominess and general seaworthiness, and he kindly adds that "as the nucleus of a navy this vessel is quite worthy of respect''—London Letter.

Centenary Sunday school, together with all tbe chapel school*, will give an excursion to Armstrong Park, near Indianapolis, next Saturday, June 9th, leaving the B!g Four depot at 7:30 a. m. Armstrong Park is ovie of the prettiest parks near Indianapolis, and as it is easily accessible by street cars it will prove a popular place. The remarkable low rate of one dollar for the round trip for adults has been fixed with half-fare, 50 cents, for children under fourteen years of age. It is not often that a splendid opportunity and such low fare is offered for a visit to tbe capital, and as Centenary usually takes big crowds on its excursions, that of next Saturday will.no doubt be a big success. -r
