But the fact that it remains w it bout fermentation shows either that It has little nitrogenous value, or that lt ls so saturated with water that it has become sour. Yet we have known many city people buy black muck from swamps to pot flowers in. and pay 25 cents to 50 cents per bushel basket for it, when dry earth from the side of the toad, with much less vegetable matter, would be much better. Most muck! especially front swanuts, lacks mineral fertility. It is easy to handle and to work in, and this is what makes It popular. But It needs both ammonia and potash to give the best results.

There are ueveml wooden shoe fac­ tories in America. The H ollander» brought these durable foot coverings from the old country, and were long made »port of by the Irreverent. But the Americans have, within a few years, been coming to the conclusion that in adopting the wooden footwear the Dutch had pretty level heads. The shoes arc especially desirable for work iu laundries, breweries, and stables, as well as on the farm when the ground 1 . wiff. They do not become saturated « 1 th moisture, never get out o f shape like leather lioots, and are surprisingly warm and comfortable, and In addi­ tion they are cheap, and will outlive several pair» o f cowhide boots. The aw k w ardness of «'e a rin g the shoes •oou passes aw ay , and when the wearer enters the house he kicks them off for slioes or sliiqiers of more grace­ ful build. Wooden s ) km > s are made en­ tirely by hand. Small, solid blocks o f wood are first slia|H*d like a shoe. They are then turned over to the isirer, who with a variety o f Implements makes the hole fo r tlie foot. H e first bores a hole for the heel and then with what looks like an exaggerated cheese s|>oon works his w ay toward the toe. Once started with augers, knives, scoops and eernpers, the place fo r the foot Is rap­ idly shaped. The workm an often uses calipers and inensurcs, so that one shoe o f a pair shall lie as near as possible the mate o f the other. T he shoe Is then »ent to the drying room to remain a month, when the final touches are to give it the last scraping and the artistic finish. In this country, the wood used is basswood, a » it is light, easy to work, durable and dry. Occasional or­ ders are received for fancy shoes to be made of maple or walnut, and once an extra fine pair had a mahogany veneer. The shoes are especially adapted for «e a r in g iu wet (daces, and the demand for them is steadily Increasing.

If Benjam in Franklin, one o f the «•¡seat of men, could have foreseen the difficulties and complications that have grown out of his famous bequest to the city of Boston of *5,000, more than 100 years ago, he would probably have can­ celled that part o f the w ill, or at least j made its provisions very different, re­ marks the Buffalo Commercial. The fund, which now am ount» to *348,000, has been invested m ainly aB be direct­ ed. A t the end of the first hundred years tiie principal was to be laid out at , the discretion o f the managers o f the donation to the town of Boston, “ in public works which inay be judged of most utility to the inhabitants, such as fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, pub­ lic buildings, baths, pavements, or whatever may make livin g in the town more convenient to its people and ren­ der it more agreeable to strangers re­ sorting thither for health or temporary residence.” The money is in the Bos­ ton city treasury, but it appears the I municipal authorities and the trustees are at loggerheads as to their respec­ tive powers, and also as to the method of Us expenditure, and as a last resort the matter lias been carried to the courts. A n application is to be made to the supreme court of Massachusetts to decide who has authority under the w ill to expend the monpy in one of the sev­ eral ways suggested by the testator. It is to he hoped a «'ay out of the diffl- m lty w ill be fourni and that the fund w ill be used to establish tiie Franklin Hades school, as lias been pro(>oged. It is one of the most remarkable legacies ever made, and tiie benevolent intent is plain enough, though perhaps not ex­ pressed in sufficiently definite terms. A s w e have now started on tiip road toward the annexation of Hawaii, it in but natural that Am ericans should want to pronounce the name of tho forthcom ing new territory correctly. The porrect pronunciation is " I l a - w i-e ," tiie “ a " sounded as in “ father,” tiie “ i ” as in “ tim e,” anil tiie “ e ” as in " w e , ” the accent being on the sec­ ond syllable. It is well to know how the new territory is pronounced, says the Chicago Tribune, even before it en­ ters into the Union.
