Spir- itualism is one of the oldest "'super- stitions" of which the human race knows anything about. It is the ori- oin of the great religions of the earth, and without it Christianity never would have been-founded nor perpetu- ated a life time after Christ lived. ake its phenomena out of the New lestament, and what would vou have to convince you of immortal life or .ven existence for one minute after <o-called death ? Ii the world aid not know that there was such spiritual phenomena, there would be small hope of Christianity existing another hundred years. Some of the most em- inent divines in Christendom to-day we cognizant of this fact. As for theosophy, it is older than Christianity, much of its teaching and philosophy are the same as "'hristianity and spiritualism, and it is taught and believed in by a large ection. of the human family. - 1 did not take "my pen in hand" to defend either of these "'cults." They need ne defence before a reading, thinking and investigating people like the Anglo- Saxons. Time will justify these "mere superstitions" of the people, and they will live long ages after «uch a wise head as Goldwin Smith's "as been forgotten among thinking men and women in this sphere of ac- tion? Put I write to give you a mes- «age Arom Principal Grant on the uestion of the hour. He says auto matically, or inspirationally, through a friend : "You may think T am not interest od in vour present question of prohi- bition. but I am even more interested than when in earth lite. I do not «ee that the proposed prohibitory law is richt, but 1 do sce where I made many mistakes in opposing such law in any way. For if seme men say anything on any subject it is taken ior law, when they may be much far- ther from the truth than the more ignorant 'man. Where 1 have found 1 vas wrong was in favoring any law that allowed whiskey to be sold, for now my name is brought in when it should not be, and 1 am quoted as an authority. 1 meet with spirits every day who point their finger of scorn at me, saying, 'that man did to make drunkenness than thousands of men can undo." So you see my position is not pleasant nor very ele- vating. | say, do your best to do away with the whiskey traffic. Under my conditions it will take time and nuch work, but one leads to something higher and better. we are out with a great army of spirits helping in this great cause. You could not anderstand how interested the great mass of spirits ave in this fight for huménity, for we find in our travel through spirit land that the most of the misery or from whiskey-drinking men and women led on to greater crime, which: they would never have committed had their step comes through yrain not been deadened by drink. 30 many of those spirits who were sent inta this sphere -in -a drunken tate go on with their ecirsed work; lelving down into the déns and dark alleyways of large cities, doing the nost damnable things. Things the human mind could. not conceive of vithout their aid and daring char eter, are done. "I hey have no fear md their course is downward, bring ing others with them...

Soil Bene- ficial to 'the Farmer. Many, perhaps, most people consider that microbes are connected only with disease, but his is far from being the case. Not only is the air filled with microbes, but water and the soil have their share of these minute forms of life. There is an article in the Popular Science Monthly, for December, upon the subject of Nitrogen fixing Bac- teria, which discusses the mode of ex- istence andtuse of. certain of = these plants, that are 'so small that they need to be manifest hy very powerful microscopic in order to make them visible. The action of these bacteria, which there are many different kinds, is of 'immense value to the farmer, afid. therefore to all of us. In order to make it plain in what way the far- mer is affected by the growth of these. tiny creatures, it may be well to con- <ider what are the main constituents of the ordinary plant. There are five or six of the chemical elements most important : Carbon which we know in the form of charcoal, oxygen and hvdrogen; the constituents of water, nitrogen, which forms four-fifths of the atmosphere; phosphorus, a very iinportant constituent in bone and sul- phur. Probably potassium should be mentioned as well. Carbon, hydrozen and oxygen are readily taken by the plant from the air where the carhcn in the form of carbonic acid, breathed out of every animal when living, as well as provided by the decay of all dead plants and animals. The soil us- ually contains enough sulphur in the form of sukphates, like gypsum, nitro- wen, phosphorus and potassium need, in cases, excgpt in new soils, to be provided, and all fertilizers contain one: or more of these elements. Though nitrogen exists in the air, the plant cannot make any use of it. It cannot breath it in or, perhaps it would be more correct to say, that it cannot make any use of it when it does breathe it in and nitrogen passes out from the plant unchanged, just as it is exhaled from our lungs in the «ame condition in which it was taken into them. The only form in which nitrogen can be used by plants is said to be that of nitrates, such as saltpetre, which is potassium nitrate. A very. import- ant fertilizer is sodium nitrate (called chili saltpetre, because got in Chili). It is cheaper than potassium nitrate. But ammonia contains, nitrogen and <0 does barnyard manure, and these are frequently employed instead of nitrate. Compounds of ammonia are used, chiefly the sulphate. But am- monia compounds and barnyard man- are only useful because certain bacteria change them into nitrates. The bacteria make use of the material provided, they grow at the expense of this material and in making use of it, change it in such a manner that it can be used by higher plants. There are a number of bacteria that take part in this process: probably there is no single species of bacteria that change the organic matter of a com plex composition, «uch as is found in barnyard manure, into nitrates; one species carries on the operation for a certain distance and other species then take up the task. Some species of bacteria tend to destroy nitrates and «nd the nitrogen back into the air so it must not be supposed that all bae- (erin inthe soil -help-in. the growth of the higher plants. As has been said, the higher plants cannot take nitrogen from the air, but come species of soil bactetia can do <o and are called "nitragen fixing bac- teria." Seme of these bacteria form in «mall tumps or nodules upon the roots oi leguminous plants, that is, plants belonging to the pea family, such -as peas, beans, vetches and clover. Ii these plants are provided with nitrogen, in the form of nitrates, they feed mainly upon that, but if no nitrogen is pro- vided in the soil, vet if the roots have upon them the proper bacteria, nitro- evn will be taken from the air. Each particular class of leguminous plants lias partic ular species of bacteria most cuitable for it; so that a aground sown with the bacteria suitable. for vetches provides but poorly for the ~rowth of clover. It has long been known that raising a crop of clover and ploughing it un- dor fertilizes the soil, but it is only very: lately that the reason has been discovered. There are some bacteria that can fix nitrogen in the withont the aid of leguminous plants, so that a coil with no vegetation on it increases in nitrogen. These bacterig may be ciltivated just -as' the microbes caus ing diphtheria or tvphoid fever may | le cultivated, and a German firm has within the last three r four years placed" upon the market a material made of some star:hy substance mixed with bacteria of a particular species. The material is old Ae rame of alinit and it is claimed that it in' creases the growth of crops as much as forty per cent. of ure Harrowsmith Heraldings Harrowsmith, Dec. 2.--Friday ine a meeting was held in the town hall to diseuss prohibition.
