August is the time to plan the fall cam

time wasted on the farm during the fall by
not having definite plan Of action at the
start. There are so many things that we
want to do that we do not know where to
besin so we dig FEW rocks, few stumps
cut a few bushes, add few rods to some
old piece Of stone wall, and keep thinking
we will lay drain through that wet place
in the field. But when snow comes we
cannot tell what we have done or where the
season has gone.

What Two Ladies Said.

Three months ago q young man OF

from an Easl"ru state with less than
$50 in money. He had been promised
work, but reached here to be disap-
pointed. The household goods We're
here, and the couple hadn't enough
money to 90 away on. 1t was, there
fore, decided to rent rooms and remain
and search for work. The young
man made every effort, but was un-
successful. His money was nearly
gone, and house rent was coming due
again, when, one evening as ne passed
up Grand River Avenue, he heard one
lady say to another, as they stood in
front OF bakery
Dear mel but J wish | could get
hold OF some old-fashioned doughnuts
such as mother used to make"
"I've said that every day for the
last ten years" replied the other.
The young man followed them home
and made a note of street and num-
Der. He then laid out all his money
in lard and flour and carried the goods
home and SAID to his mother:
''The people OF Detroit want old
fashioned doughnuts. You shall make
them and | will sell them from house
to house. | will start out with the
first batch tomorrow morning"
The doughnuts-four dozen OF them
were ready by O'Clock, and in hall
an hour he had sold them and was
back. Next day he sold twelve dozen
and the next thirty. He had struck a
good thing and he had sense enough to

THE BURNESE VAR.

The Capture of King Thebaw's Man-of-
War Leaves the Route Clear to the
British.
In the fight with the war vessel be-
longing TO King Thebaw, reported on
the 18th, the fire from the British
caused 200 OF the crew of the Bur
mese vessel to Jump overheard. The
British then boarded the vessel and
proceeded up the river with her. 1t is
reported that 5000 troops are stock
AIDED at Fort Kuligon, which occupies
a high, dominating position Overhang-
ing the river at Minhla. The capture
OF the Burmese man-Of-war will pre-
vent the Burmese from placing further
distractions in the river, or moving
troops and guns by theriverroute, and
will dlsabuse the minds OF the natives
OF the idea that King Thebaw is
invinCible. The steamer DoOwoon,
recently sent to Mandalay to bring
away the Europeans detained there
by the Burmese government, has es-
capped from there and reached the
British lines When the authorities
at Mandalay discovered the Doowoon
moving out into the river they opened
a heavy fire on her, and sent a force to
board her. The boarding party were
repulsed by the crew of the Doowoon,
and having got a full head OF steam on,
the vessel ran the gaunLlet and es-
capped with little injury The Italian
consul and the other Europeans are
still detained at Mandalay, not having
been able to get on board the Doc
woon. The city is quiet at last ac-
counts, but at the palace a revolution

in time to see and hear the cOnsum-
nation of a quarrel over couple OF
quarts of chestnuts. And we heard
one boy say, "You lie" rather en-
phatically. That being pure English,
MISUNDERSTOOD it perfectly. The other
fellowreturnedfir fire something after this

boy who stood looking on, with his
hands thrust into his pockets up to
his elbows, shouted, "SOc ct tUum

understand, we suppose was also Lat
in. At this the youthful disputants
pitched into each other, pulling hair
and rolling in the dust at a great rate,
while chestnuts flew in all directions in
a manner that would have greatly
alarmed the celebrated Virgil could
he have been present. There's moth
ing like a classical education. We've
