for the starving people in the over

in so many words, that unless speedy
relief comes 40, 900 homeless victims
of the disastrous floods will starve to
deasn, and that the demand for assist
ance will continue to be urgent for
many weeks. II should be borne in
mind that everything was swept away

inhabitants was left; every article of
vegetation was swept away, aud the

HOW TO srAcKssHEAvEs OF GRAIN.

Unless a stacker is an expert, it will always be
better to set pole firmly In the ground and
build the stack around it. A pole at the center
will aid the stacker to carry up his work true
and it will prevent stack from leaning Whe n
commencing stack bottom, the Ohao Farmer
says, set M two bundles against each other, and
others against these until circle is formed
sloping from center to circumference, each row
half the length of sheaf further than the one
before it. Garry out the foundation in this way
until it is of the desired size, and then st outside
lay double row of bundles and press them down
we'll The foundation being now prepared, build
upon 1t by laying the tiers of sheaves from the
outside toward the center, each row tapping butts
to bands Gradually lay out until the stack has
attained the height desred-that is, let each row
OF butts project trife further than the ore be-
MEATH so that the circumference of the stack will
gradually increase in size as it is carried up to
half way point, and thon gradually draw in until
the top is reached. Caution unjust be used not to
make the stack too Haring. We have found it q
good plan to let one tier Of bundles project some
tour inches at the point where it is decided to
begin drawing in for the top this furnishes what
may be termed caves. If the stack is to stand an
indefinite time before threshing, 1t will pay to
give considerable attention to matching the top.
At all events it should have topping out of bog
grass or hay. f

A BURIAL AT SEA.

Mr.. q. R. Elliott, now visiting in Europe, writes
to the New Haven Palladium giving tho following
incident, which occurred on the California during
the passage over I'VE were in mid. ocean when
it was whispered about that one OF our number
"a unattended lady passenger-had died. The
news spread, as bad news will through cabin and
forecastle, and a hush rested on tae vessel which
deepened as the hours wore on. The case was
peculiarly sad. The lady, though of tempera
ament which unified her for sea travel had yen-
6ured the passage alone in order to crafty an aged
mother who wished to see her daughter before she
died. From the start the lady had been yerv
sick, ard this, combined with previous serious
ill-health and imprudent sef-docterlng on the
passage, proved too much for delicate organi
cation. The burial, which took place on the day
following her decease, was a strange and i'm
pressive occasion. Rev. Mr.. Collins, of Hartford
one ofour number, conducted the services. The
engines were stopped, the vast ship came to 8
stand still, the ships bell was tolled and crew
and passengers gathered aft about the rude coffin
heavily loaded with iron lars which contained
our unfortunate passengers remains. After thu
sclem Episcopal service for burial at sea had beer
read, psalm chanted by malequartet, and a few
appropriate remarks by Mr.. Collins, the coffin wal
slowly lowered to the waters edge, ropes wer,
loosened, and their burden disappeared beneat,
