Heroic Sisters.

There dwelt in the village Of Montague,
at the period Of the French Revolution, two
girls, named Felictc and Thcophilc Fernig.
Both possessed beauty of sweet and attrac-
tive kind-bOth were modest, reserved, and
apparently timid. TheyOungest was thirteen
years Of age when the nightly attacks of the
Austrians demanded an immediate and
strong resistance. Soldiers being wanted,
the sisters put on their brothers clothes,
armed themselves, and charged the plunder-
ing parties in the front rank of the National
Guards. Notwithstanding every effort to
disguise themselves effectually, Gen. Buer-
nonville discovered them, and, marking their
intrepid conduct, presented them, together
with their father and brother, to his staff.
Not only pure, but free from suspicion, they
were the admiration and pride of the whole
army. They distinguished themselves in
every action previous to April 5, 1913.
In an engagement near Brussels, they
rushed headlong into the midst of the enemy,
when a general officer called on them to
surrender. The reply was ball from the
pistol Of the younger, which laid him dead
ut her feet, and, in the mOmentary confusion,
they drew back in safety. The same sister,
at the battle of Jemappes, charged Hun
garian battalion with small party of horse,
and herself disarmed one of the most form
idable grcnadiers. His height on foot was
nearly the same us her own when mounted :
and he was in despair when the musical tones
Of her voice, saying, "Gencral, this is
prisoner have brought you," revealed to
him the sex Of the brilliant officer.
Felicite attended the Duke Of Chartres,
and never failed to charge the enemy at his
side Both the sisters aided in the escape
of Dumouriez, accompanying him to the
Austrian lines, the soldiers firing on them
as they passed. Once beyond pursuit, they
resumed the attire of their sex, made no
unnecessary display of courage, and labored
industriously in support of their aged father.
Theophilc died at Brussels, unmarried. Fc-
licite welded Belgian general.

Fish as a Fertilizer.

The editor of the CRituriSt, q journal
printed in Philadelphia, recently oil visit
to Cape May county, New Jersey, had his
attention specially directed to immense
quantities Of king crabs or horse fish which
the farmers along Delaware Bay had Sc.
cured for manuring purposes. During the
summer season numbers Of these shell fish
visit the shores of the bay for the purpose
of depositing their eggs In the sand. The
farmers watch the opportunity, and while
the crabs are on the sands making their de-
posits of eggs, capture them and throw
them into large pens made of rails, where
they die, and are permitted to remain until
wanted for use. Scarcely thousandth
part of the crabs that visit that locality are
taken. This is not because Of any difficulty
in securing them, but the want of force
sufficient to gather them.
The Delaware shore of the bay is, if pos.
sible, more prolific of them than the New
Jersey, and, within the past year or two,
the attention of the Delaware farmers has
been specially directed to their value as a
manure.
The method Of preparing them for use is
very simple. After lying in the pens until
thoroughly dried, they are beaten to pieces
with fails, though more expeditions and
enectual method is to run them through q
machine similar to threshing machine, only
more powerfully built, and so arranged as
to be easy Of transportation from farm to
farm. A large mill has recently been erected
on the shore, where the crabs are purchased
by the proprietors, ground and sold to those
who desire them, or ground for those who
gather them.
The price per ton Of the ground crabs,
which is known as Cancerine, is $l6 at the
mill. 1t is in continual and ready demand ;
all being sold that the mill is capable OF
grinding. The crabs in their unground state
now command from $3.50 to 81 per thou.
sand. From two to three thousand are
considered sufficient quantity for an acre
they being applied broadcast, after having
been ground. Of course. They produce
remarkable effects upon the wheat crop; no
other manure ever tried in that section equal
ing them. The effect produced by cancerine
upon clover is most singular. While it
seems to promote termination, the clover is
almost certain to- die after it has attained
its third leaf This is always the case when
the crabs have been composted, but is read.

Lake Mahopac was at one season so crowd.
ed, or rather the hotels in its immediate
vicinity were, that the farm houses were
filed with visitors. One Of the farmers was
especially worried almost to death by his
borders. They found fault with his table
this thing was bad, and that wasn't ct to
eat.
"Darn it," said old Isaac, one day, "what
a fuss you are making! can eat any.

"Can you eat crOwg" said one Of his
young boarders.
"Yes, / kin cat crow"
"Bet you hat" said the guest.
The bet was made; crow was caught
and nicely roasted; but before serving up,
they contriyed to season it with good dose
Of Scotch snuff. Isaac sat down to the
crowj he took good bite and began to chew
away.
"To be sure can eat crow" Another
bite, and an awful face. ayes, kin cat

Poor Isaac arose from the crow feast in
somewhat of hurry, and bOlted towards
the back Of the house.
The pompOsity Of DR.. johnson, and his
vain display Of learning amongst those who
assumed in his presence any acquaintance
with literature, are well known. Old Mack
lin,. the player. who was a genuine Hiber-
nian, one day paid the doctor a visit as a
literary man. After few Introductory
words, tho doctor observed, in sneering
way, that literary men should not converse
in the vulgar tongue, but in the learned Ian
guages; and Immediately addressed the
dramatist in long sentence in Latin. Mack.
lin, after expressing his accedence to the
doctors proposition, said he would rather
conyersein Greek, and Immediately followed
with a sentenee Of eqnA length in IEish
The doctor again reverted to the English
tongue, and Observed
"Sir, you may speak very good Greek
but am not sufficiently versod in that dia.
lect to converse with you Auently."
Macklin burst out laughing, made his bow
and retired.
1t was one Of the laws Of Lycurgus, that
no poitions should be given with young wO.
men in marriage. When the great lawgiveI
was called upon to justify this enactment
he replied, "that in the choice Of wife,
merit only should be considered; and that
the law was made to prevent young women
being chosen for their riches or neglected
for their poverty.
If we could become acquainted with the
secret history Of our enemies, we would find
in each mans life, sorrow and suffering
enough to disarm hostility.
Every young lady knows her lover by
heart; but that's often very uncertain

Dad is Growing Old, John.
BY J. Q. A. WOOD.

Ab, Dad is growing old, John,
His eyes are growing dim,
And years are on his shoulders laid,
A heavy weight for him;
But you and ] are young and hale,
And each stalwart man,
And We must make his load as light
And easy as we can.
lie used to take the brunt, John,
At cradle and the plOw,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trickled from his brow;
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whate'er his toll might be,
Nor wanted e'er welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy strength came, John,
And sturdy grew each limb,
lie brought us to tho yellow field,
To share tho toll with him;
But he went foremost in the swath,
Tossing aside the grain
Just like the plow that hcaves the soil,
Or ships that shear the main.
Now we must lead tho van, John,
Through weatheS foul and fair,
And let the old man read and dozc,
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind ii, John, you know,
At eve 10 tell us o'er
Those brave old days of British times,
or Grandad and the War.
Iheard you speak of Ma'am, John,
'Tis gospel what you say,
That caring for the likes Of US,
Has turned her head so gray
Yet, John, do remember well
When neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
A cleaning sheaf Of grain. ..-.
Her lips were cherry red, John,
Her check was round aud fair,
And like ripened peach it swelled
Against her wavy hair;
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
From oil the sumner tree,
And all day busy at the wheel,
She sang to you and me.
She had buxom arm, John,
That welded wellthc rod,
Whene'er, with wilfaI step, our feet
The path forbidden trod;
But to the heaven Of her eye
We never looked in vain,
And cvermore our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that is long agone, John,
And we arc what We are,
And little heed We, day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair;
All, when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then, John, we most shall feel
We bad no friend like hCr.
Sure there can be no harm, John,
Thus speaking softly DER
The blessed names Of those, ere long.
Shall welcome us no more.
Nay hide il not-for why shouldst tho,
An honest tear disownl
Thy heart one day will lighter be,
Remembering It has flown.
For Dad is growing old, John,
His eyes are growing din,
And Ma'am is treading softly down
The dim descent with him;
But you and I are young and hale,
And each stalwart man,
And We must make their path Is smoot
