An AnecdOte of Senator Vest.

During the Christmas holidays Sena-
tors Beck, Vance and Jackson wanted
Senator Vest to go hunting with them
on Currituck Sound. '|Now, what's
the use?" said he. "It's ever so much
more comfortable here. What the use
of stopping around with your feet wet
to your waistband all day, and never
shooting single duck? You go ahead
and let me be, and I'll eat at one sit
ting every canvas back you shoot. :"
''Oho, you will, will you?" cried the
trio; and off they went for Currituck,
while Vest staid at home. Well, the
hunters had streak of ''dumb luck. "
They returned with about a hundred
ducks, mostly canvas-backs; sixty snipe,
two geese and two swans. jackson
killed most of them, his powers of ST.
lence giving him an advantage over his
comrades. But Vests hair stood on
end when he saw the display, and
thought of what job it would be to eat
nearly hundred ducks at one meal.
And they say he has ever since been
busy trying to prove that the three SEN
ators never shot bird, but sat in the
Currituck Lighthouse playing back
CANNON, while the keeper and his as
sistants were doing great slaughter on
the meadows. - Washington Cor. OticG-

How Tony and Nell gloated over the
beauty of the valentine, and speculated
as to its fate.
In Tony's absence Nell would take
down the box, that held the precious
thing. reverently open it and gaze and
gaze, and then put it away with the
wish that it might safely reach the pref
ty girls hand.
1t was growing late the afternoon of
St. Valentines day; the Lenten service
at the great church was Just over and a
crowd of worshipers issued from the
doors. A tall gentleman, in the prime
of lite, with a dainty maid elinging to
his arm tried to cross the street, though
there was a constant press of foot pas
sengers and vehicles.
An extra amount of business in the
newsboy's line had made Tony little
late. His face flushed, his dark eyes
shining, and holding the precious val
entine in his hand, ne darted to meet
the advancing gentleman and young
girl, breathlessly exclaiming as he put
the package into her hands: please
take this, cos you were so kind to me. :"
And then a passing carriage struck
him, and down he went under the cruel
wheels.
The gentleman, whom we will call
Mr.. Wright, now lifted the lad tenderly,
and calling carriage, took the boy to
the receiving hospital for children,
where his broken ankle was carefully
attended to. Meanwhile little Alice
Wright, carrying the valentine which
had been the means of Tony unfortun-
ate accident, fastened homewards,
while her father went with the injured
boy.
After Tony's wound had been dressed
Mr.. Wright found out his name, the
dreary place that he called home, and
promised to see to little Nell, whom he
took to the gentle care of his wife and
daughter Alice. And that evening
while Tony tossed in the delirium of
fever in his narrow cot at the hospital,
Nell told the sympathizing circle around
the cheerful fireplace the story of
Tony's brave endeavors for their liveli-
hood, their home destitute of father S
care or mothers love, and finally the
story of the valentine which occupied a
prominent place on pretty easel stand

would shield you with loving tender

such children, that there may be hidden

Changes in Onion Culture.

During the past few years enormous
quantities of onions have been raised
on reclaimed marshes, Doggy and bot
tom lands in various parts of the coun-
try. The great objection to this sort of
land for embarrassing consists in the
excess of moisture in the spring, which
interferes with the early sowing of the
seed, which is ordinarily essential to
success. The land requires to be very
thoroughly drained, which often involves
a heavy expense. When once fitted for
the crop, it is raised on it for many
years in succession. In the opinion of
many, it is better to continue the rails
ing of onions on the same piece of land
indefinitely, as the crop does not exhaust
the fertility of the soil as small grains
do. As many as twenty successive
crops of onions have been raised on the
same plot of ground in Connecticut and
New York. AS land devoted to onion
culture is generally titled by hand, the
soil becomes very thoroughly pulyerized
and in the best mechanical condition to
produce large crops. 1t is, however,
likely to become weedy and to re-
quire much labo in cultivation. To
obyiate this difficulty, several very sue
cessful onion-growers now recommend
raising the crop GA 'tnew land. Some
report astonishing results from land
that has been burned over. A few have
practiced covering the soil to the thick
ness of foot with straw or bushes and
burning them short time before the
seed is sown. The fire destroys the
seeds of weeds and grass, kills many in
sects, improves the condition of the soil,
and leaves ashes that greatly benefit the
crop. Seed sown on this burned soil
terminates readily, the young plants
grow rapidly, and the labor of crltiVa-
ton il greatly reduced. = Chicago Times.

Defenses Of the Lower Animals.

Some of the higher animals illustrate
the manner in which Nature contrives
to furnish special measures of precau-
ton for its little-gifted, unalert, I'M
armed and helpless creatures. The alb
sepce of teeth in the edentates is offset
by shields or scale-armor; helpless
beetles are furnished with hard wing
cases; the pheasants, Juails and larks of
the fields are hidden from the keen Wis
ion of birds of prey by their earthly
color, birds of the river and sea-shore
by their resemblance in color to the sand
and single.
Protection is required by the lower
animals chiefly against the weather and
against parasites and ether external
enemies. Frequently the place of their
abode is their only and ordinarily a
sufficient protection, as is the case with
earth-worms and burrowing Larvae,
wood-worms and fruit-borers. But such
animals appear to be afflicted with par
ticular enemies peculiarly fitted to hunt
them out in their otherwise secure for
tresses lin the shape of moles, mole
crickets, long-nosed hedgehogs, shrew-
mice and swine, hook-billed lapwings
and sharp-tongued woodpeckers. Ere
quently, also, each animal is defended
by some special relation peculiar to its
species. Insects, which in their. com
paratively brief state of maturity are
secured by their powers of fight, have
to be guarded, in their three previous
conditions of egg, larva and pupa,
against hosts of enemies to which they
would otherwise be an easy prey and a
palatable food. In the condition of the
apparently lifeless and really helpless
egg, they are covered by their obscurity
and littleness, or by being deposited in
holes and cracks, or covered with slime
or hairy or silken wells and cocoons,
under which they escape all but the
sharpest search and rare accidents

GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE.

When the gold ana red Of the setting sun
Grows pale and fades at the close OF day;
When the flooding splendor is over and done,
And night draws on and covers its way;
We do not hope its return in vain,
For we know the morrow will come again.
This is goodnight
When we part with clasping hand at night
From the friend we love, we feel regret,
And the bright, warm heart takes with it the
light
And Joy Of our own hearthstone; and yet,
This regret is not q hopeless pain,
For we know that the friend will come again.
This is goodnight.
When we leave the shore that has known our
birth,
When we turn our longing sight to f1n
Dur hearts with mem ries OF sorrow and mirth.
1.-THE throbs Of expectation are still
And night draws on, while we strain our eyes
For q long. last look in our paradise.
This is goodbye.
When a soul is called from the busy crowd
To tread the paths Of an untried way
In garments of light instead of the shroud
And we look our last on the form of clay,
We know. we have said our last adieu,
And the broken vows we cam not renew.
This is goodbye.
When we stand at the gate at eve with him
Who has filled our life with joy or pain,
When we watch the waning light grow dim,
And know we shall never watch 1t again,
We say the words and hear the reply,
And we know the farewell is spoken for aye.
This is goodnight and goodbye

Machine Guns i'm War.


The announcement that an American
officer has received permission to in
spect the British machine guns at
Woolwich has called attention to their
advantages and disadvantages in war
A writer to the PAIL Mall Gazette thus
criticises the employment of machine
guns on the field of battle: IF the
range is correct and the mark remains
steady great execution will be done.
but the slightest error will throw every
bullet out, except at short range. Thus
the French found that their attempts
with the mitrailleuse, even at such
short distance as twelve hundred
yards, were perfectly futile, and that
their new weapon had not the
slightest chance against the field ar
tillery of that time. Since then the
German field artillery has more than
doubled its efficiency. Against their
shrapnel thrown with the present high
velocities the mitrailleuse would have
less chance than ever. The reply
OF the German army to the question:
What is the place of the machine gun
in the field of battle?' has been, 1T has
no place, and whatever additional men
and horses can be given should be de-
voted to increasing the field artil-
lery.' Accordingly machine guns have
not been introduced for the field, but
the field artillery has been largely in
creased in proportions to the other
arms. Exactly the same course has
been pursued by the French and by
every other great continental mower.
None have adopted machine guns for
the field; all have increased and devel-
oped their field artillery. When we
remember that France, Germany, Aus
tria, Turkey, Russia, have all lately
passed through the furnace of war, and
had most of their crotchety dross
burned out of them, their unanimous
opinion ought surely To outweigh the
theoretical ideas OF a few partisans
who still cling to the Rotion of finding
in the machine gun q weapon worth
the cost of the men aEd horses required
for its use. They admit that it can not
face field artillery at artillery ranges;
that its proiectiles have no power
whatever against the walls of buildings
or earthWorks. but they believe that.
when two hostile bodies of infantry are
closing, the machine guns can be
brought from cover, where they have
remained till then, and will exercise a
great influence over the result sof the
combat. No doubt they would in such
case, provided the infantry fight hap
peaed 70 b where they cOald co."
