the two republics. II took me some

Preparing the Ground for a Lawn.

The success of a lawn depends upon
vast deal of work that is quite out
Of sight. We expect more oi
the soil devoted to the lawn
than we do of any other part
of the grounds, for we are continually
cropping it. and it can only give a COLI
slant succession of grass when the roots
have deep soil and sufficient nOurlsh-
ment. As it is desirable to have the
grass well established be ore hot
weather comes, the seed must be
sown early, and to this end the soil
must be prepared as early as the
season will allow. Only small areas,
such as fruit yards, croquet and
tennis grounds, should be perfect
" level A slightly undulating
surface is more pleasing to the eye than
a dead level and it may be made to give
the impression of a greater extent If the
surface is laid out in gentle sweils, and
will give a better effect if lightly higher
as it approaches the house OF course
there must be nothing like abrupt hills
and hol ,Ows, and if any such occur where
the lawn is to be, they must be either
cut down or filled in. If the lawn IS
such that it would require draining
to fit it for garden crops, then it will
need draining Tor a lawn. Indeed, all
proved by draining with tiles. The
depth and distance apart o the drains
should be such as are found best in the
fields OF the vicinity. The next re-
quisite is a deeply worked soil In En-
gland the soil is thoroughly trenched
two spades deep, but we can hardly ex-
pect our people, who avoid the use Of
the spade wherever possible, to tren h
the ground for lawn. The most we
can hope for is the deepest practicable
blowing, with the use of the subsOl plow.
If the soils poor, a generous coating OF
manure should be turned under, but
if in fair cOnd ton, tOp-drcssin. may
be depended upon for fertilizing. After
this preliminary work, the Q ound
should remain as long as possible be-
fore sowing, in order that it may proper
Iy settle. If in any place the ground
settles unevenly, then fresh soil must be
aided, where needed, to bring the low
spots up to the proper level. Whether
! the lawn is to he laid down with seed, OF
as is sometimes pre- cradle, if the ares
/ is small, with turf, the prel minary
preparation must be equally thorough
if a fine and permanent turf is desired.

A peculiar suicide occurred in Paris
several weeks ago, the circumstances of
which show most strikingly the power
of a fixed idea to derange the human
brain lust as the smallest grain of dust

too a novel phase of insanity of the

one fine ght he swallowed drug
which he had mixed himself, con aiming
a frightful dose OF alcohol. Under its
influence he fell into a drunken sleep
and awoke luuatic. He fancied him
self reiuvenated, and, stranger still,
that he felt within himself a double
personalitv. He eXpla ned in all seri-

money which he had left, saying that
youth should he prodigal. But he
often repeated that he felt within him
his father reprimanding him for his
/ conduct and that no good would come
of it One morning soon after this loud
words were heard n his chamber. He
was hu ling angry insults at g" his

to steal away his money. The last
words oh reached the ears of his
servant were these:

True ManIiness as Revealed in Young
Street Arab.

"Sergeant," said diminutive speci-
men of the street Arab, as he met an
officer wearing a sergeant's uniform, on
the street about ten O'Clock last night;
scan you send an officer to guard some
property to-night?''
The urchin's clothes were tattered,
his face was dirty, and he was soaked
with rain; but there was a manly air
about him for all that. The officer
looked somewhat astonished at the
question coming from such strange
source, but asked kindly: "What do
you want an officer for, my bOy?"
Because" answered the child, and
tears filled his eyes, 81 was leaning
against store window on Chestnut
street, and l guess L pushed too hard
and the glass broke, and l couldn't
make ANYBODY hear, so / started as fast
as | could to find an officer, to keep
ANYBODY from stealing the things IN the
window. And, Sergeant, have thirty

the officer, 81 will see that the store IS

''Thank you,' said the boy, 81 will be
sure to 90 and see him, and will try
and save all the money [ can to pay
him, if he wants it." And drying hi!
eyes, he went on, probably to cheer

Corn and Hogs.

From carefully conducted expert
ments by different persons, it has been
ascertained that one bushel of corn will
make little over ten and one-halt
pounds of pork, gross. Taking this re-
suit as basis. the following deductions
are made, which all our farmers would
do well to lay by for convenient refer
ence-that:
When corn sells for 1911 cents per
bushel. pork costs l. cents per pound
" hen corn costs Il cents per bushel,
pork costs . cents per pound,
W hen corn costs p cents per bushel,
pork costs 3 cents per pound.
Whes orn costs b cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per round.
When corn cost 80 cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per pound.
The following statements show what
the farmer realizes IN his corn when
sold in the form of pork:
When pork sells for cents per pound,
it brings % cents per bushel N corn
When pork sells for 4 cents per pound
it brings 81 cents per bushel in corn
When pork sells for cents per
pound, it brings 10 cents per bushel in
corn. -1mCrjcHu Farmer.
