An erroneous impression seems to
prevail in regard to the proper direction
in which to place drills, for plants culti-
vated in that manner. They are usually
laid of north and south. The rows should
run east and west. Suppose q piece of
ground planted in drills two feet apart,
running north and south. The plants by
the middle of July, having attained to lhe
hegnt Of tour ieet, each row will be
shaded by the one east Of it until about
the middle OF the afternoon; the middle
of the afternoon till night the shade Of
each row will fall on Its next eastern
neighbor.
Ii the drills run east and west, the dis.
tance apart and the height being the
same. the shadow of any row will not
reach another row, excepting the sun is
near the horizon, early in the morning OF
late in the alter noon. In latitude AZ
degrees north, the shadow OF plapl
four feet high will not reach two feel
north from its base until about the 10tt

A Useless Babv.

The Austrian Nevada Reveille of the
284h ult. has the following: "a couple
OF days ago u squaw died out at Yankee
Blade, and the Indians buried her and
her infant together, without taking the
trouble of making y corpse of the latter.
1t IL custom OF the Piutes and Sho-
shones to bury the dead mother and
living child together when the latter is
too yoang to help Jtself, In this instance
they dug a hole, threw the woman into
1t and laid the infant on her breast,
Towering them over with brush. In ex-
PLANTATION OF their conduct one of them
said Baby no good; no got milk; bime-
by heap cry; die pooty soon anyhow
II would be an impossiblity to convince
an Indian that ne is sdoing wrong by
thus abandoning helpless infant as a
pray to the coyotes and carrion birds
1t was the custom of his fathers, and he
can see no wrong in it. A white man
does not like to interfere in such case,
for to try and rear the child would be q
hopeless task, and no white man would
feel justified III dashlng its brains oul
with stone. Besides, the Indians
would feel greatly grieved at any inter
ference with this pleasant usage Of
theirs"

If this were all-Oh if this were all
That into each life some rain must fall,
There were fewer sobs in the poet rhyme
There were fewer wrecks on the shores OF
Time.
But tempests Of woe pass over the soul
Since winds of anguish we cannot control,
And shock after shock we are called to
bear,
Till the lips are white with the hearts de-
spair.
The shores of time with wrecks are strewn,
Unto to the ear comes ever n moan
Wrecks of hopes that set sail with glce,
Wrecks of love sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eye,
Only God knows how deep they lie
Only God heard, when came the cry,
Help me to bear, Oh! hel lp me to die.
Into each life some rain must fall,
If this were all, Oh If this were all
Yet there's a refuge from storm and blast
Gloria Patr we'll reach at last
BE strong, be strong to my heart cry,
The pearl in the wounded shell doth lie,
Days of sunshine are given to all
For into each life some rain must fall.

time begging letters addressed to this
mythical character began to accumu-
late in the New York Post office, and
when this was announced ip the
newspapers the auther Of the hoax
asked the post-otlicc Department to
order their delivery to him. This re-
quest Postmaster General Jewell has
refused in Il letter in which he says {;
"The letters have all been opened
in the Dead Letter Office and returned
