The potash salts are one of the chief constituents of corn and tobacco fertil izers that are used almost exclusively in the soul hern states.

Tiik words "Emerald Isle." as ap plied to Ireland, were first used by Dr. Ilreiiiiau in a h-iu entitled "Krin." "Cl rs that cheer, but not inebriate'' are first mentioned by Coxx jicr, in the ""Task." The allusion is to teacups. "To itt a flea in his ear." to indi cate a sharp rebuff, is a proverbial say ing, found iu all laiie-uac-cs havintr a literature. "Kyi is are stubliortt tliinrs" is an aphorism first enumerated by La Sare in " ill Vlas." It has since lK-coine prov erbial. 'No ki.iks on him." triven as an Amer icanism, is found in "lion tuixote." w hen- it occurs as one of the sayinjrs of Sancho Van.a. Tiik "Ci-lestial 1'in.pire," referrinir to the domain of China, has a sitrnilicaiice in the Chinesi" lcirend that the early rulers of that country were all deities. Tiik word "tlirtat ion." according to Lord Chesterfield, xxas manufactured by Lady Frances Shirley, who used it in the exact sense attached to it to-day. CRIMINAL NOTES.

MICROBES AND DIGESTION. Uerma Now Said to lie Absolutely Nee wnrjf to l'roM.r A.h! iu 1 lat lou. The ubiquitous microbe is known to present txvo sides or phases to its char acter. ne is that of a disease-prod uc intr organism, the other that of the lH-neticeiit remover of decayintr matter, writes Dr. Andrew Wilson, and of ac tually assisting- the animal fxxly to jH-rform certain of its ordinary vital functions digestion, to-wit. To what extent the animal may Ik dependent on microbes for its actual welfare is an oH-n question, but if certain researches undertaken by Dr. J. Kijanizin. of the l iiiversity of KiefT, are to be credited, there may indeed exist a closer alliance Wtxvecii treruis and their hosts than has thitherto leen deemed ossible. This invest iirator experimented ii)mii animals, fecdinir them on food which has practically l-en stelilized. and triv insr them air which had Ih-cii rendered wholly t-'crmless. Due result of this rco-iiiien xxas to limit the assimilation of nitrogenous matter; the idea here ln-iiio- that the presence of microbes in the dio-estive tract is necessary to ef fect this desirable end of nutrition. The microbes left in the intestine, or orio-inally present there, no doubt ac complished much of the work; but the conclusion is that the microln-s re ceived with the food constitute an es sential feature of healthy assimila tion. Death was not the uncommon fate of many of the animals supplied x it h t he stcrilie.1 food and air. This result may. perchance, arise from proc esses of st-lf-toisoiiiiitr such as the mi crobes, naturally present in air aud f . n m 1 . obviate anil prevent. What seems hM-clully interesting hoxxever. is the new analogy w hich Dr. Kijaiii.in's exM-riint-nts reveal Wtxveeu the animal and the plant worlds. Cer tain plants can only assimilate nitro treti through the action and aid of the microbes xx hich live in nodules on their roots. In fie absence of these friendly t'l rms no assimilation of nitrogen is M.ssil.le. Therefore the case uf the plant xxould seem to be closely related to that of the animal, if it be proved that the nutrition of the latter cannot proceed naturally xvithout the aid of the helpful microbes.

NATIONALITY IN EGG EATING. Curlooa Kartal t'haracterlatlca Noted In New York Keotauranta. The philosopher who is to discover the ponderability of a man's "gray mat ter" by the way in w hich he eats ttoilcd eggs is not yet risen among us. but it only requires the ordinary jM.xvers of observation aud a moderate acqiiaint tance with the restaurants of New York, says the Sun of that city, to dis cover that there are some very curious and clear indications of a man's nation ality to Ik- gathered from watching the way in which he licrforms this f unc tit m. To an Englishman, it will le seen, there is but one way in w hicli to eat lioiled eggs, and all other ways are heathenish and an aliomiiiatioii. It is necessary, iu the first place, that his eggs Ik' medium lx.iletl- three and a half minutes is the standard, towar marked time ami then brought to table iu a napkin, w ith bread and but ter, smmu, jx pper and salt, ami an ef-ir eiip. Not one of those heavy, parti tioned things, of thick iron stoneware, with a goblet-like arrangement at one end anil a smaller depression at the other, but a delicate little article of white china, with a plain gold band around the edg. a narrow band it should Ik', or, )ierhas, a little spray of 1 Lt tinted flowers painted on the bides. Into this cup of comfort t he egg blides deeply, just leaving a sufficient amount of shell alx.vc the rim to ).- re moved, and to remove this shell there la but one true met In xl of procedure. The shell must be daintly chipx-.l with the spui. and the fragments must lx removed with the same utensil. There are some K-ople who brutally cut off the top of the egg yith a knife and plunge the spoon at once in me. lias res. but these are generally "x-rs.iis." and are by no means representative of the true and insular art of egg eating. It is allow able, under certain conditions, to use the lingers to remove the Lrokt-u fragments of the chip-K-d shell, but the use cannot Ik commended as g.xxl form. ARMY AND NAVY.

The stipulation in the tnaty of jieace between China ami Japan that the Chinese who have la-en captured by the Japanese- ami others who sold suji plies to the Japanese tr.x.ps in their march through Manchuria ami Shant ung shall not le punished by the Chinese authorities, was inspired by humane considerations. It is the cus tom of China to Whcad such of her sol diers as fall into the hands of the ene my, and areafterw'ard returned to their country. During several naval and land engagements upward of five thousand Chinese troops were captured by Japanese, and it is to preserve their lives that the foregoing provision xvas inserted in the treaty. The same con siderations influenced the other provi sion relative to the purchase of sup plies from Chinese subjects. The curi ous fact develops in this connection that China has not a single prisoner of war Wlonging to Japan. The 1'uited Press disjiatcu. which contained the exclusive announcement that the indemnity of txvo hundred mil lion taels will Ik Jiaid iu seven yearly installmentsdiffers from official nqxirts previously received, w tiich limited the payment to five instead of seven install ments. It is believed, hoxvever. that the statement contained in th.-I nite.! Press dispatch is correct. While no definite information has la-en received regarding the matter, it is uti.h-rstotxi that the indemnity will take the form of a Wild issue on the part of China, t he Wnds to le retired during a x-r"i.xl of seven years, and to War interest at live percent, per annum. The presumption is still very strong that the iu.leiiiuit y will W paid in silver. L'ntil the Wginning of the war Ik tween China and Japan each country had a consular jurisdiction over its sub jects in the other country. It would now- appear that Japan xx ill m longer grant this privilege to China, although stipulating for a continuance of this right for herself. The explanation given for this exception is that Japan is now a civilized country, w it It a etxle of layvs based on the highest prin ciples of justice ami equity, and that she can Ik safely trusted, therefore, to deal fairly with the Chinese subjects living within her borders. China, on the o'ter hand, it is asserted, is still a barbarous country, ami foreiguer.s there must receive the protection of their oyvn country since little, if any. will Ik afforded to them by the local authori ties. - NICHOLAS II.
