End ETA Famous win Case.

The estate of Joseph L. Lewis, a West
Indian mulatto, willed by him in 1877 to
the United States, to help pay off the
national debt, has yielded about 5000, 600.
which is now invested in six per cent.
called bonds. At the time of the testa-
tors death the estate was valued at
81 600, 900, but this, by prudent invest
ments pending five years of litigation
was swelled to S1,4Oo,OO0. By a cOmpro-
mise with the heirs of the deceased they
receive 100000, and about 100000 has
been expended in lawyers expenses and
court fees, so that the 100000 in bonds
Is the amount that will be applied to the
reduction of the national debt, in pursu-
ance Of his last will.

The Faithful Workman.

Several years ago large number OF
men were employed not far from Bos
ton to fill some unsightly salt water
flats and raise them above the water.
One day-it was II o'clock in the fore
noon-the contractor went out to where
a separate gang were at work in build
ing sea wall, and when he reached the
spot he found solitary man busy OH
the wall. he had a bucket of cement and
a trowel, and was engaged in pointing"
the wall-that is, neatly filling in the
seams and interstices with bits of stone
and cement. 1t was nice work, and re-
quired competent workman, but why
was this man alone?
"Where are the rest of the workmen ?"
"It's IL o'clock, sir, and they've gone
over to old Cafferty's after their beer"
Don't you ever go with them?"
mo, sir. In the first place, don't
want the beer; I'm better off without it.
And, in the next place, can't make it
seem quite right to take time that is not
mine"
You are right, young unexpectedly
right" And then the contractor looked
the workman over more critically. He
was young more than two or three
and twenty; strong, well-knit, and
handsome youth, with an intelligent
face, and an eye as bright as sapphire.
"Tell me, my FRIEND" the contractor
pursued, after his survey, "if you have
fixed upon this course from any princi-
pie, that is, if you have any reason for
itP''
The workman looked for few mo
ments little puzzled. He did not at
first catch the contractors meaning, but
presently his face frightened and he
seemed to grow taller as he answered:
"Ah, see. You mean to ask me if l
do this because l think it is right"
The gentleman nodded, whereupon
the other went on:
"Wby, no, sir, can't say it's exactly
that. I'd do right anyhow, simply be-
cause it is right; but do this because 1
want, one of these days, to be somebody
-to.succeed in business-to do some
thing better than simply working on a
level with gang of navvies."
"Yes, yes" said the contractor; 81
think we understand one another. Do
you know who l amp"
No, sir"
"Well, think l once hired the man
that hired you. However-you know
where the contractors ofice-where the
paymaster's office-is?"
"Yes, sir"
"Then, my man, do you call there
this evening, half an hour after you
have quit work here"
At the appointed time our young
workman presented sspseff at the office,
where he found. ~hrst, Abj%<it was his
employer who had sr ,HMith him that
forenoon; and second, hefound that said
employer, or contractor, was in want of
a trusty agent into whose hands he
could consign the entire charge of over
looking the work. In less than a year
the young man owned stock in the en-
terprise, and in ten years he was one of
the leading citizens of New England's
metropolis.-N. Y. Ledger.

FREAKS OF THE FROST.
Is Fruit Never Killed by Frost in the
Dark of the Moon?

Some years ago we had spring similar
to the present one, and while parties
were lamenting the destruction of fruit,
an observing old farmer remarked that
he had never known fruit to be killed
by frost in the dark of the moon. He
was right that time. Limited observa-
ton seems 10 corroborate the old gentle
mans theory. Delicate early varieties
of fruit may be injured, but the hardy
varieties are saved. a frost that would
totally destroy all fruit, if it occurred in
the light of the moon, only Slightly in
jures it in the dark of the moon. The
late celdEsnap is probably owing to the
spots on the sun lessening solar heat.
Many of the cold streaks that we have
may come from above, where the air is
always cold. These cannot be predicted
by telegraph. On the Sth of June, 1910,
all vegetation was killed in Ohio, Indi-
ana, and Illinois. The leaves of the for
est trees, and sometimes the trees them
selves, were killed. La many places not
any green vegetation was left. On the
4th and 5th of June, 1859, nearly all veg
citation was destroyed in many places in
Ohio and other States. A similar frost
occurred June 4, 1879. On the 18th OF
August, 1868, a severe frost destroyed
large portions of the growing corn and
other vegetation in the southern and
middle portions of Ohio and Indiana.
These frOsts, in many cases, seem to cut
queer and unaccountable freaks. In enc
garden row of tomatoes would be kill
ed, while a cross row would escape. In
some fields vegetation would be blasted
in spots, while that surrounding would
be fresh and green. In the great Au
gust frost of 1868 some fields OF corn
would he totally destroyed, while others,
with the same exposure. would escape
injury. 1t would be interesting if Oh
serving farmes would relate facts de
rived from their observation in regard
to these matters. 1t might lead to the
development of correct theories in re-
gard to the causes.

THE HOME OF THE HORSE.
How This Most Useful Animal Fol
lowed the March of Man.
From The Popular Science Monthly.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
There is 30 doubt that the original
home of the horse is not Europe, but
Central Asia, for since the horse in its
natural state depends upon grass for Its
nourishment and fieetness for its weap-
on, it could not in the beginning have
thrivsn and multiplied in the thick for
est-grown territory of Europe. Much
rather should its propagation be sought
in those steppes where it still roams
about in a wild srate. Here. too, arose
the first nations of riders of which we
have historic knowledge, the Mongolians
and the Turks, whose existence even at
this day is, as It were, combined with
that of the horse. From these regions
the horse spread in all directions, espe-
cially into the steppes of Southern and
Southeastern Russia and into Thrace,
until it finally found entrance into the
other parts of Europe, but not until af-
ter the immigration of the people. This
assumption is, at least, strongly favored
by the fact that the farther district Of
Europe is from the Asiatic steppes, /. e.,
from the original home of the horse, the
later does the tanned horse seem to have
made its historic appearance in it. The
supposition is further confirmed by the
fact that horse-raising among almost
every tribe appears as an art derived
from neighboring tribes in the East or
Northeast. Even in Homer the OK ap-
pears exclusively as the draught animal
in land operations at home and In the
lield, while the horse was used for pur-
poses of war only. Its employment in
military operations was determined by
swiftness alone. That the value of the
horse must originally have depended on
its fieetness can easily be inferred from
the name which is repeated in all the
branches of the IndO-EurOpean language
and signifies nearly "hastening, quick"
The same fact is exemplilied by the de-
scriptions of the oldes poets, who, next
to its courage, speaks most of its swift
ness.

Decoration Day.

Sleep, comrade, sleep and rest
On this Field of the Grounded Arms
Where foes no more molest,
Nor sentry's shot alarms!
Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the cannon's sudden roar,
Or the drums redoabling beat.
But in this camp of Death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repose and peace,
Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
1t is the truce of God!
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers,
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.

How Happy Eli Be.

In the blush and bloom of summer hours; /;

And bound them up in her SHINING hair'

Where the air was filed with soft per-

Vases were near, of antique mold,
Reautiful pictures, rare and old,
And she. of all the loYeliness there,
was nv far the loveliest and most fair.
"Ah mer' signed she, "how happy I'll be

Almost ready to leave the earth;
Feeble and frail, the race she had run

aAh meI sighed she, in an undertone,
aHow happy I'll be when life is donel
When the world fades out with its wea-

And l soar away to a better life.
'Tis thus we journey from youth to age,
Longing to turn another page,
Striving to hasten the years away,
Lighting our hearts with the future ray;
Hoping in earth till its visions fade,
Wishing and waiting, through sun anc

Turning when earth's last tie is riveH,
To the beautiful rest that remains In
