A Point of Disorder.

How dear to the heart are the scenes of school
days.
When our infantile minds and our feet were both
barel
What frocs and fun we enjoyed in those fool days,
When our brows were unknt and uncombed was
our hair
Tho we loved like father that sternest of teach
ers,
We will never forget the wild play of his features
As he from the pin that placed on his
chair
The pin that pointed,
The pin double-jointed,
The pantspiercing pin that provoked him to

Those girls are all wicked show,
For mans delusion given.
Their smiles of joy and tears of woe
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow,
Not one is true in seven.
They love you for a little while,

Two loving hearts; then full of guile,
Bait others with their witching smile.
And you may go to thunder.

He and I.

He was the first always; fortune
Shone bright in his face
fought for years; with no effort
He conquered the place;
We ran; my feet were all bleeding,
But he won the race.
Ny home was still in the shadow
His lay in the sun;
Ilonged in pain; what he asked for
1t straightway was done
Once staked all my hearts treasures,
We played and he won.
Yes Just now have seen him
Cold, smiling, and best
Laid in his coffin. God help me!
While he is at rest
am cursed still to live; even
Death loved him the best

If matchless beauty marks thy face
IF diamonds sparkle in the eyes,

Resides the secret of thy power.

VALUE OF DRAINING.
1t Increases the Effect of Manure and the
Productive Powers of the Soil

1t Increases the Enecf OF manure anu the
Productive Powers of the Soil
Draining not only deepens the soil
but largely increases the effect of the
application of manures. Every farmer
NAV have noticed the difference result
ing from fertilizing material applied
alike to a single field, without being
able to satisfy himself as to the cause of
that difference. This variation in effect
most frequently takes place on clayey
soils or on springy spots with an inn
pervious subsoil, and such wet places,
however highly MANFRED, can not be
made to produce good crops. Yet,
when thoroughly drained. there are no
soils which better reward manuring
and cultivation than these. The ele-
ments of manure act upon plants only
in a state of solution; hence it is of the
greatest Importance that they be SO ap-
piled, and that the soil be so prepared
that they may not only be readily dis
solved by the rain, but that the rain
may freely pass through the soil,
which. acting as filter, arrests and
holds these elements where they viii
best serve as food for vegetation.
Manures applied to undrained land are
readily dissolved by the rain, but are
left floating upon the surface, and thus
often pass away by evaporation or in
the surface drainage of heavy rains,
the subsoil not allowing them
to sink to the roots of the plants,
or to be absorbed by the soil.
This is one great reason why manures
produce such trifiing results on heavy
lands, especially,in seasons of abundant
moisture. In very dry weather but lit
tie more effect follows their application.
from want of solvent. such as is ever
supplied by the water retained in mel
low. porous earth. Draining renders
the land penetrable to water, enabling
the rain TO descend freely through it,
carrying to the roots the fertiliZing ele-
ments with which rain-water is always
charged, as well as those it takes in
solution from manures. The effect Of
manures is also much increased bv an
intimate mixture with the soil. Such
mixture can be but imperfectly obtained
in the case of hard and shallow land,
either in a wet or dry state. 1t viii al
WAYS be found that mellow and friable
soils receive most benefit from manureS,
and that clayey soils, If made mellow
by draining, possess the greatest alb
sorbent powers, and are of the most
productive character compared with
sandy and light or mucky looms. The
true policy of the farmer Is to use every
means in his power for rendering his
labor more effectual and his farm mora
fertile, and in no way can this be better
accomplished in the case OF wet and re-
tentive lands than by draining, and
thus deepening and increasing the pro-
ducfiye powers of the soil--AndreU 81.

How an Elephant Hunter EItricsted Him.
self From a PeriIoss Position.
The coolest thing ever saw done in
aephant-shooting was one day myself
and friend were sitting in the bungs-
low, when a ceolie rushed in and in
formed US that there was an elephant
in the coffee. The only battery" we
had in the bungalow, which was mere
ly wooden shanty run up for tenn
porary shelter at the new clearing. was
an old percussion shotgun, used
chiefly for firing sparrow hall at the
legs of natives caught cofee-stealing at
night. and the only bullets we had, If
I may be pardoned the '.bull," were
small shot with few swan-shot mixed.
There was, however, a bullet mold
which fitted the gun. so We set to work
and cast some rough bullets, as we
were determined to have a shot at the
elephant even If it was with 4 pistol
Our next proceeding was to toss up
who should have the shot, and it fell
to nv friend J.
When we went out it was found that
the elephant was not in the coffee, but
on strip of ''patna. or grass along
side of it. j. accordingly went down
to the tournament, while j stood at a
safe distance to cheer on the knight
When J. got on the ''patna" he saw
that the brute he was going against was
evidently a rogue of the worst de-
scriptior, as he began to trumpet very
loud. That is the first thing a '.roque"
does. / suppose he thinks it viii put
the fear of death in the hunter. The
next part of the show is for Jumbo to
charge right down on you, still trum-
peting and waving his trunk until he
comes within about twenty yards, when
down goes the trunk. and, at the same
time. he lowers his head This is the
time TO ire, and the only place you have
any chance of bringing him down by
hitting is a small oval space. just above
the trunk This is q vital spot, and if
you hit this it is sure death TO the ele-

calmly awaited Mr.. Jumbo's approach.
just at the right moment up went his

CONCERNING STABLES.
Requisites Without Which II Is Impos-
sible TO Keep the Occupants in Good

Regulates Without which II Ii ImPos-
sible 10 Keep the Occupants in Good
Health.
Stables, ike dwelling houses, have
number of requisites without which it
is impossible to keep the occupants in
good health. First and foremost is
ventilation The Importance of pure
air can hardly be adequately under
stood without some knowledge of the
circulation of the blood and also the
composition of the air. Fortunately
the different properties of foul and pure
air afford great facilities for ventilation.
The former. being generally heated,
rises to the roof. while the latter, being
cool. falls. 1t is, therefore, only neees-
sary to procure means Of exit in the
highest part of the stables, and the
foul air viii escape by its own inherent
Grhfness. The real difficulty lies in
securing a sufficient quantity of pure
air without causing an announcement
and sensible draught. This is best ae-
complished by small apertures near the
floor of the buii6ing-say about seven
inches by two in size, and one for each
horse By these means a scarcely per-
ceptible stream of fresh air Is supplied
The doors and windows should never
be used as mediums of ventilation, un-
less in very warm weather, or
when the stables are empty, as
il can not be done without caus-
ING injurious draughts- Horses are
more often injured by want OF light or
by windows that are misplaced than by
any other fault Ample light is essen
tial TO every stable: without 1t, the eyes
10 a certain extent become paralFzed
and blindness results Skylghts suit
the purpose TO great extent But in
whatever way light is provided. 1t Is i'm
portant to have it in front OF the horses
Managers and hayracks should be just
high enough to prevent the horse get
ting his feet into them. The ordinary
rack. placed above the head. can not be
TOO highly condemned. Many horses
are in the habit of pulling all their hay
to the ground before eating ii, showing
clearly the inconvenience, not to say
pain. caused by such an unnatural atti-
tude, in which the head and neck have
to be kept for such a length of time.
The low rack might be made so Is to
remove the possibility of the feet be-
coming fixed in it. No farmsteading is
complete without a large, airy, loose
box for the use of sick animals. 1t
should be separate from any other
building where animals are kept, as
quietness and pure air are often the
very life of a sick animal. To sum up
