How They May he Renovated without De-
structive Flowing.
It is not uncommon to find, all
through the country, pastures which
are not yielding half the forage they
ought TO, much less a suilicicncy for the
animals obliged to CROP a living from
them. One gets but slender interest
from such lands, where, if they were
properly handled, they ought to be
largely profitable. After the pasture is
about worn out Is when we first realize
that something NUT be done, instead
OF giving it an annual re-seeding and
refreshing with the proper manure,
which will keep il in god wearing con

To Know the Ocean Ono Must Not visit
Fashionable Watering Places.
No one can know the sea or have
any fellowship with it who goes to the
fashionable watering-place at fash
ionable time. Essentially the occa-
sion TO learn the mighty monsters"
secrets is when no one else is there.
The sea that has so much TO tell soli-
tary wanderer on his shores has moth
ing to say to the individual who goes
there in August or September because
every one else he knows does so too.
Then the sea is only perfect TO the
children. They understand and love
him, he is q fine playfellow, and shows
his best face 10 them, but he is monot-
onous or speechless to those who have
as little in common with him as he has
with them.
IL Is sad to pause on our last hilltop
and give him our farewell look. How
we love him! forhas he not been our
friend when all the world seemed false?
Has he not soothed us in sorrow, COM
forted us when winter walked the
earth and all seemed frozen and dead
and in early spring how grand did he
appear gamboling in the sunshine
and laughing as it seemed to us be-
meath the eXultant northwest wind!
Time goes on, alasl and we go with
him. The country, beautiful as it is
under the sudden rush Of sunshine that
brought spring as it were in n moment,
looks tame after the sea; yet we strive
to forget him. ENpanse after expanse

Marrying His sweetheart,s Sister

The marriage of George Finlay, the
historian of ancient Greece and for
many years correspondent of the Lon
don Times at Athens, was attended by
considerable romance. Finlay had be-
come attached TO a beautiful Armenian
girl at Constantinople, and as her
family would never have consented to
her marriage with the yolng Scotch
man, he determined TO elope with her. A
yacht of an English friend was TO take
them to Greece, and 1t was arranged
that the young lady was TO be got on
board in a box prepared for the pur-
pose. When the eventful moment
came the girl became frightened and
refused to allow herself to be- placed in
the box. Her sister, a girl equally
lovely, thought it pity that the ro-
mantle arrangement should not be
taken advantage of. entered herself
the box in place OF her sister We
suppose Finlay must have been con-
siderably surprised when the box was
opened In the cabin Of the yacht and
not his sweetheart but her sister was
revealed. dressed in midshipman's uni
form. The brother Of the young lady
had discovered the affair and was
soon on board the yacht to demand
explanation. Finlay saw only one
course before him. The girl had been
compromised; he would marry her.
The brother giving his consent, the
marriage took place at once. San
