A Joyous Reunion.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Aug. 2.
As the British Crown swung up to the
American Line dock Tuesday morning, an
old woman, who had been walking the deck
since sunrise, leaned over the
taffrail and calculated: ''That's
him." and disappeared in the cabin. At
the same moment still more elderly
man on the wharf shrieked: THAT'S my
Benedicta," and ran up the gang plank, fol-
lowed by bOdy-guard of friends, and
rushed after the retreating woman. Twenty
eight years ago scene as sad as this was
joyous was enacted by the same pair on the
Cunard dock at Liverpool, when Thomas
Barbour bid farewell to Benedicta Price and
set out to find his fortune beyond the sea.
Relatives had made the union impossible
for the time being, and, although
their ages were forty-two and thirty-tve
years, they concluded to await the removal
by time of the objections to their marriage.
1t took nearly third of a century, for it
was not until month ago that a letter came
from Miss Benedicta announcing that she
was free to redeem the pledge she had kept
so well. The result was the union and DEM
onstratiOn on the British Crown.

Though rolling is of much benefit
on light, porous and lumpy soils. yet it.
is injurious on wet clays, except in dry
weather, when they are mmpy after
blowing. Rolling a stiff soil when
wet renders it more difficult of cultiva-
ton by pressing the particles still more
closely together and preventing the adj
mission of air. Even light. arabic
lands require the ground to be dry when
rolled, if for no other reason than that
otherwise the soil will adhere to the
roller. Grass land, however. is best
rolled in showery weather. -Erchange

How TO stop the Flow of Blood.

AS accidents of various kinds are of
frequent occurrence in our mines, it
Is probably we'll worth while for all
our people to know what TO do in case
of a serious flesh wound that pene-
trates to veins or arteries When a
man il wounded SO that blood flows,
that flow Is either re .ular or by jets
or spurts. lift flows regularly, a vein
has been wounded, and a string
should be bound tightly around be-
low the wounded part-that is, be-
yond il from the heart. Ii the blood
by leaps or jets, an artery has
been severed, and a person may bleed
TO death in a few minutes; to prevent
which, apply the cord above the
wound-that is, between the wound
and the heart. In case a string or
cord is not at hand, tie tho two oppo-
site corners OF a handkerchief around
the limb, put u stick between and
turn it around until the handkerchief
Is twisted sufficiently tight to stop the
bleeding, and keep it so until a phys
ician can be had.
