When once asked by schoolmate
why.he always made use of little "l s''

half 30 stuck up because he had money
as the fellows seemed to think. A lit
tie l was big enough for him. ''et :.
Arrived at the age of twenty-one, this
young man was fashionable, slightly
dissipated, rather good-looking gentle
man, and notwithstanding his lack of
education, was admitted to the so-called
best society. - .""'
Then great crash came, and fathers
millions were all swept away. Friends
gathered round to help, but what could
friendship do for young man who had
no education? There were counting
rooms waiting for book-keepers and
correspondents, families wanting tu-
tors, school teachers, but no chance for
a man who could neither add, subtract
nor spell.
Too delicately reared to handle a
pickax or a shovel, there was nothing
left for him but to live on the charity of
the few who pitied him; then cut by
those who formerly toadied to him on
account Of his wealth, he took to drink
ing. and is now confirmed drunkard.
The only use he can be put to in this
world is to furnish, by his bloated face
and bleared eyes, a warning to boys
who think because they have money

is sad one-it is not an uncommon
one. The photograph may be recog-
nized in scores of cases in every large

Professional Vanity Sacrificing Life.

THERE was a considerable attend
ance of doctors, surgeons and students
at the Blank Hospital one day. DIR.
-, celebrated surgeon, was to am
putate boys leg, and brilliant oper-
atiun was looked for. 1t was brilliant,
but in the midst of it one of the specta-
tors saw spurt-spurt of blood that
his practiced eye told him ough: to be
stopped at once. He looked anxiously
at the operator, but though his eye saw
it, too, his pride was blind to it. To
stop and bind it would spoil the SYM
metry of the performance. He went
on, and finished to the admiration OF
the whole throng-''a splendid opera
tiono'
The next morning one observing
friend went to the hospital. As the
door was opened for him he said to the
janitor: "Little is dead" The
man stared at him in establishment.
"Why, how do you know that. sir?''
II knew he would die when saw the
operation" Said the man, ''Yes sir,
he died this morning.. That same
morning some one found the brilliant
surgeon standing by the sheeted bed,
with a face that told it's own story. He
said he would give all he had in the
world if he could bring that boy back
to life, for he knew that his vanity had
killed him.. Y. Cor. Cincinnati Ga

"WHAT Is TO BECOME OF SAMv'

IT was generally supposed that Sam
was what is called deficient" As to
his own family, they were sure of it.; at
all events, they treated him as if he
were SO. Not that they were unkind
to him; on the contrary, they were all
very fond of "poor old SAM" but it
seemed to be taken for granted that
whatever he said was not worth
noticing, and that almost everything he
did was to be made fun of more or less.
He was, in fact, the family butt, though
the shafts were, as rule, SO tipped
with good nature as not to hurt his
feelings.
Of course, there were some patent
reasons for all this. To begin with,
there was something manifestly pc
culiar or backward in his mental de-
velopment. He never could learn like
other boys, and all masters had shaken
their heads at him. Then there was a
heavy comicality in his face and an
awkwardness in his gait, together with
stunted growth. all of which betok-
ened an abnormal condition of Nature,
and furnished some excuse to his
brothers and sisters for regarding him
as an oddly in their midst. At the
same time it was yet more excusable in
Sam himself, and far more accounta-
BILE, that, being thus accustomed from
his childhood (and he was now about
nincteen) to be treated as if he were
little better than q fool, he settled down
more and more to being one. Hardly
ever did he attempt to say or do any,
thing in serious earnest, since almost
everything he did or said was treated
as Il sort of joke. s...
There was one exception to this.
Mothers always know best how to deal
with the weak in the flock, and SANS
mother never laughed at him, and
never despaired of him. "What is to
become Of Samp'' his father would say,
"he'll never earn his own living;' and
his mother would quietly answer.
''Wait bit, my dear; there is more in
MIN, perhaps, than we think, but il
wants to be drawn out, and l doubt il
we are acting wisely in laughing at him
as we do" She said "we," good soul,
but that was only her discreet way oil
putting it.
Now, Sam had sister. Mary. ol
whom he was especially fond. Per,
haps IL was because she was tho sister
nearest to him in age. but it wss more

Elementary Forces in Agriculture.

THE good farmer seeks to SO cult
vate his soil as to produce the best re-
suits in tillage with the least outlay in
labor and material. This, however,
does not mean the cultivation of the
soil with but little labor or material,
although it is true that some soils are
cultivated at far less expense than
others. On the contrary, the soil in
herently inferior, cultivated in q supe-
rior manner, may and will produce
better crops than better soil indiffer-
emily cultivated. Therefore it is safe
to say-a proposition understood by all
good farmers-that good cultivation is
the basis of success in agriculture.
The effects of cultivation, used in the
sense of stirring the soil, are two-fold-
one mechanical and the other chemic-
al. The rendering of the soil mellow,
porous, disintegrahle and homogeneous
in its charcter is mechanical. The eff
feet of this mechanical alteration of
the soil allows chemical action and re-
action to take place, unlocking, chang
ing. setting free and rendering soluble
the mineral constituents always found
in the soil, so they are capable of be-
ing taken up by the spongioles, con-
verified into sap and become tissue. The
organic elements of the soil are also
rendered more available. The roots
are more easily extended in the soil, so
that in a soil friable and light in its
texture, the plant may have two, three
or four-fOld the power of assimilating
plant food that it would in soil more
hard and unyielding in its nature.
Air, water and frost are the three
great disintegrators. 1t is these three
agents that primarily broke down the
rock formation of the earth, for all
soils were originally solitary rock. It
is these three agents that have covered
the face of the earth with fertile soil,
our sands, gravels, loans and CLAWS;
these again are more or less fertile ac-
cording to their divisibility, porosity
and the constituents of fertility they
may contain, from having time and
again been moved and removed, mixed
and intermixed, ground and again
shaken up, spread and respread over q
continent, until granite, quartz, shale,
limestone and the various other masses
which go to make up the rock forma-
ton of the earth, have been carried
