possesses those solid virtues which will
win for him reputation not less enduring
nor hardly less honorable than THAI which
is acquired by the dazzling display Of more
brilliant genius. Even if he does not reach
higher than a mediocre place in legal
greatness. lie will al least make safe and
conservative Judge.

ssWhat with a sense of danger, and VIVA
with sudden CONSERVATION at being Spoken
to in such a tone and manner, L had Nc
self-c Command, and in shutting the UNI
brella L somehow lost my balance, and the
next instant was sinking in the binding
waters.
II must have risen very quickly, for the
boat was there and l laid my hand on its
side, but quick as flash Downs hand
came down on mine, and though he after
ward said that he tried to lay hold OF me
to assist me, / know that he dislodged my
hand. True, should have upset the boat,
and iiiifsts as true he flung me off to perish.
AS I sank again. again even through the CUR
Cling in my ears, l heard Harry Vane,
| Courage, Charlotte, Pm coming.s->
ssAgain / rose and again sank. Then T
ceased to struggle and the pain of suffoca-
tion was gone knew that was dying,
and like electricity all my past life flashed
before me- / had no terror of death, but !
| longed to ask Harry's pardon. Downs L
seemed to have forgotten The tall rice
was all about me, and | knew no more
until q deadly sickness and great pain
woke me to consciousness. Was it the
gurgling water Oh human speech that
rumbled in my ears | did not know, |
did not care, only wished not to be dis
turbed-not to suffer.
s'Slowly my comprehension returned and
I found myself on a bed in the log-eabin OF
the man who kept the boats on hire, and it
was night, for candles were burning
Some of my companions of the picnic were
there, but was too i'll and weary to ask
questions.
s'When next / opened my eyes it was
daylight and my father and mother were
bending over me.
s'Suddenly remembered something Of
the drowning and I cried out, Where is
Harry? He said he was coming
ssThey hushed and soothed me and |
suppose administered a narcotic, for l
have only faint recollection OF lying ON
bed in a covered conveyance and of being
annoyed by the jolting.
ssThe next time I awoke my mind was
clear, recolfected all, and begged to be
told how was saved. My friends evaded
this question, and my suspicious being
aroused, demanded to see Harry Vane.
Finding they could no longer put me off,
they told me that Harry rescued me and
swan with me toward the islet, where one
of the boats had just landed. Another
gentleman waded out breast high to meet
him, and drew me to the shore, supposing
that Harry was following. But Harry
did not follow, and in the excitement about
me he was not missed until too late.-
Whether he was exhausted OF whether he
took cramp no one could tell. This only
I know and never shall forget: Harry
Vane was drowned in saving my life. This
also I know shall live and die Charlotte
Kemp AS for Downs, I hated then, |
hate still, the sound of his name. He left
our town almost Immediately after the oc-
currence; and I never saw his face after
the day of the picnic"

Why may not L? Why may not 2? -

And blow the bird to some warm nest +;

No Must wear your piteous smile

The whitening world accepts>her fate
Of mist and moaning, soon or late
She had the dew, the scent, the spring
And upward rapture of the wing
Their time is gone, and with it they.
And am wooing youth to stay
In these dry days, that still would be
Not fair to me, not fair to me?

Should he not gather grayneSS there?

FASTENING THE RIPENING OF FRUIT
Acting upon the principle that renewal OF
the earth Immediately surrounding the
roots increases their activity and acceler.
ates the maturing of all parts of the plant
including the fruit, Mr.. Stall removed the
earth about an early pear tree, eight weeks
before the normal period for ripening, for
a space of thirteen to fifteen feet in diane
ter, and to such an extent as to leave
depth of earth over the roots of only about
two to four inches which could be thor
oughly warmed by the sun. He was sur
prised not only by the ripening ofthe fruit
in the middle Of July, but also by it's supe-
rior juiciness and flavor. In another ex-
pertinent, the removal OF the earth from
the north side of tree alone caused the
fruit on that side to ripen several days
earlier than on the south side. Frequent
watering was, of course, necessary i'll the
above experiments.-Vi negdrd Gazette.

CHEAP PAINT.-An inexpensive but du-
rable method of painting old buildings is
as follows First give them coat of crude
petroleum, which is the oil as it comes
from the wells, and can be procured for
about 81 to S. barrel in almost any town
or city Then mix one pound of metal
lie paint,' which is brown OF red hematlte
iron ore finely ground, to one quart OF lin
seed oil, and apply this over the petroleum
coat. The petroleum sinks into the wood
and makes good groundwork for the IRON
and oil paint. The color of the iron paint
is dark reddish brown.

HINTS FOR STACKING HAY.-Make
your stacks long and narrow, as the hay
will cure better, and there is less danger of
it's becoming musty than when built in the
usual circling form beside, it will be ca
sier baling. The press can be moved easier
than you can pitch from the rear of a wide
stack. In building, unload on different
sections of the stack, which will allow the
air to circulate through each before it is
settled down by another being placed upon
it. About three gallons of salt thrown in
to a load of hay will preserve it's sweet
ness Three quarts are considered by some
hay farmers to be sufficient foran ordinary
load. 1t might be we'll for Colorado farm
ers to remember these small hints, as the
time for hay cutting, curing and gather
ing is near at hand. Fortunately, hay
making in Colorado is not attended by so
many perils as it is in the States, and, with
even ordinary care, it may be cured and
packed in keeping order, either in barn or
stack. Still, if thing is worth doing at
all, it is worth doing well, and our farmers
should, in all kinds of work, practice ac
cording to this rule, and thereby be the
gainers.-Col. Ag.

FEEDING GRAss.-Many valuable ami
mails are lost by hoven OF bloat, which
might be prevented with little care. In
the first place no creature should be allow
ed to fill the stomach with new grass when
first turned out, but should be allowed
slight feed each day until fully accustomed
to it. Second, every animal when turned
out to grass should have a constant supply
of salt in some place easily accessible.
These precautions will save great deal OF
trouble, and often the lives of valuable ami
| mails.

BEST TINE TO HANDLE BEEs.-Charles
Dadant. in american Bee Journal"
says Remember that the handling OF
bees is more easy between ten in the morn
ing and three in the afternoon-in a clear
than in cloudy day-in spring and sum-
mer than i'll fall, and with Italians-pure
Italians-than with black, grey OF hybrid
use, as they are inconvenient. 1t is better
to leave them alone and learn to handle
bees.
