Protecting Hay IN Stacks.

Not having sufficient barn room for
all my hay, have practiced covering
it with boards, after being well stack
cd and racked down. The boards are
put on the same as clapboards in siding
house, except that you must begin
at the top to put them on. Lay one
board in the center of the top length
wise of the stack, place three pieces of
common plain fence wire crosswi.e of
the board eighteen inches from each
end, and at the middle), and drive
staple at each edge of the board to
hold the wire securely; then shove the
edge Of the second board about an
inch or an inch and a half under the
first, bring the wire down and drive
two more staples, letting the top one,
next the edge of the first board, bend
the wire down and form nearly right
angle over the edge of the first board.
Continue IN this way, putting two
or three boards first on one side and
then on the other Cest you draw the
top to one side) until you have enough
to carry the water down nearly to the
"bulge" of the stack. If it is well
built and thoroughly raxed, six or
seven boards on each side will secure
ly cover six or seven ton stack,
The end wires should reach below the
bulge" and be weighted, if the stacks
are exposed to the wind. With the
bottom properly protected by raising
rom the ground on rails, there need |

Strong at Eighty.

Mr.. David Dudley Field: "My recipe
for self-preseryation is exercise.
am firm believer in exercise. l viii

strong, and, though 1 have nonlinally

er reason 1 am so well is that my mind

An Iceberg Full of Seals.

Here is story of the sea told by
the captain of Norwegian barque who
came across an iceberg full of seals.
The first iceberg was observed when
in longitude 80 deg. north and lati-
tude % deg. east. The weather had
been very foggy and the vessel was
moving along with short canvas, when
suddenly mountain of ice doomed up,
and the barque drifted toward it, The
berg was as clear as crystal, with the
exception of great dark mass in the
center, while from cleft in the side
column of vapor arose. When the
vessel approached to within reason
able distance of the berg, it was dis
covered that the black mass in the CEN
ter consisted of live seals. Without
exaggeration (says the captain) there
were between two and three hundred
seals there. The berg was evidently
hollow, and "the water we could see
the seals plunge into now and then
was the ocean. The wall of ice that
separated us from the seals appeared
to be but few feet thick, and think
It has only been there short time.
Very likely 1T formed after the seals
were there, for it is not probable that
they would have come up in such
numbers from below and Voluntarily
made a place like that their home.
They no doubt gathered there from
different parts of big foe, and have
been floating around for months I'M
able to change their quarters" At
ter sailing around the berg without
finding an opening, they hove the bark
to and laid off the iceberg as long as
they dared, hoping it would split or
crack in some manner to give them a
chance to get at the seals, but moth
happened, and they had to sail away

Mr.. Rutber was intently studying
the precious coin, which, though dark
from long lying by, was as perfect as
when first issued. He looked up now,
with face of infinite satisfaction and
relief.

HAPPY CHILDREN.

They sent him round the circle fair,
To bow before tue prettiest there;
Pm bound to say the choice he made
A creditable taste displayed;
Although, can't say what it meant,
The little maid looked i'll content.
His task was then anew begun;
To kneel before the wittiest one.
Once more the little maid sought he,
And bent him down upon his knee,
She turned her eyes upon the floor;
l think she thoughtthe game bore.
He circled then, his sweet behest,
To kiss the one he loved the best;
For all she frowned, for all she child,
He kissed that little maid, he did,
And then-though why ] can't decide
The little maid looked satisfied.

LIFE.

When vioets bloom and soft winds play
When ieckless skies float DER the earth,-
When all is youth, and joy, and mirth,-
Lies aim is happiness, we say,
When violets bloom, and soft winds play.
When summer joys have all gone by
When frowning skies hang DER the WORLD
When Hopes gay banners all are furled,-
Lies aim is usefulness, we sigh,
When summer joys have all gone BY.

have reached the conclusion that he ia
right IL Is a pity. Young man, look
forward a few years. You have good
homes to-day and homes where every
romfOrt possible to have is in your
.raSp. You do not appreciate these
things. They come to you without
effort, they are retained to you with
out effort on your part and you per-
NIT yourself to slide along on the
creased pole of confidence in the
ability of your parents to provide.
Did you ever think that money, some
times, yes, often, takes wingsp Well,
it does; it goes in the twinkling of an
eye sometimes and then your father
has to work, and you, if you have any
thing in your composition and make
up which has the appearance of a
man, will go to work to help out your
father. Now, if you had learned a
trade you would not be obliged to
search for six-dolar positions as
clerks, but could step into places that
are waiting for just such men as you
might be, at a fair salary.
Don't think when you light your
cigarette and walk down the street
that you are any better than anybody
else. Don't imagine that the mechan-
ic as he passes you envies you. Don't
imagine that society could not get
along without you. You must know
that society thinks only of your money
and nothing of you, and if your father
was to lose his dollars to-day that to-
morrow would find you knocking at
society's closed doors. And the me-
chanic pities you and says, well,
would not exchange places with him."
and he means it.
Suppose you put on an old suit of
clothes and go down to the machine
shop or the factory or the printing
office and commence at the bottom
round and work up. There will be
boys there that will laugh at your
white skin and delicate looks and yet
secretly they will admire YOU for hav-
ing the good sense to do what you
ought to do. Your employer will adj
vance you as fast as YOU deserve and
with your natural ability there is no
reason why you should not reach the
top round of the ladder in a few years.
Then if your parents have money and
YOU feel desire to do something else,
do it; and if days of adversely come,
as is very probable they will you will
have something to fall back on which
will support you and your wife and
babies in comfort. What this country
needs is more of its young men to
learn trades. There are enough who
will be bound to make fools of them
selves and try to navigate life without
it, and look to the professions for a
dry and uncertain living. 1t is no
disgrace to any young man who, hav-
ing the opportunity to learn trade
which will be of use to him in after
years, throws it away and with it his
comfort and that of those dependent
on him, to satisfy the pride of society
which looks simply upon the wealth
and not the worth of MANI. G.

Reading and Writing Upside Down.

Marysville letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer: One of the most singular
cases of vision on record is found in
the fourth grade of our schools, in the
person of Belle Kinney, n little girl
twelve years of age. Shortly after en-
tering school her teacher, Miss Ella
Ely, discovered that she always read
with her book upside down, and that
while writing she invariably placed the
copy in the same position and wrote
backward, with the letters inverted
and with her left hand.
Not knowing whether to attempt
correction of the habit, the teacher
sent for DIR. l. N. Hamilton, one of
our prominent physicians and presi-
dent of the Board of Education, who
tested her thoroughly yesterday with
figures, pictures, reading and writing,
and discovered that she was equally
skilful with her books in any position,
although the child herself had never
particularly noticed her popularity,
but expressed desire to use her books
as others do. The doctor says it is
the most remarkable case of the kind
of which he ever heard.
