A Shocking Story.

Under the title GA Child of the
Prison" the New York Herald tells q
shocking story of an episode of prison
life in New Jersey. 1t is that of poor
Rosa McCarty, ruined by drink, and of
her little five-year-old daughter and
only companion. Mother and child
have just been arrested in Jersey City
and consigned TO the penitentary for
sixty days. Born IN prison, this little
creature has passed four of her five
years of life behind the prison bars with
her drunken mother. The twain have
refused separation, and thus far have
been so fortunate as not to be driven
into that amputation of n tie which is,
perhaps, not The less sacred that its only
associations are vile. The picture of
the little sunny-faced child accompany
ing her mother to and from the scenes
of degradation and the scenes of incar-
ceration within prison walls is one
whose incongruity is its chief lesson to
humanity lesson of fidelity, or nat
ural love that not all sin and all wretch
edness can uproot, of mute, automatic
self-sacrifice beyond mortal ken. 1t is
an incident in the drink traffic whose
mere relation conveys moral that
must appeal to the most common I'M
derstanding.-I World.

FARMING.
The Elements which Enter Into Calcula-
tions of Profit on the Farm.

The Elements which Enter Into Calcula.
tions of Profit on the Farm.
The writer met a farmer who declared
that farming was the poorest-paying
businss in the world, and yet, in the
course OF conversation, it turned out
that twenty-three years previously this
man had arrived in one of the Western
States with a wife and something hess
than ten dollars, and gone to work on
farm. To-day, or rather at the time OF
meeting, he was the owner of farm of
one hundred and eighty acres, worth,
with improvements, sixty-fve dollars,
an acre; in addition, he owned some
good stock, including a pure-bred bull
five good horses, and fair plant in
the way of implements, wagons, farm
tools, etc. In word. he could not be
worth less than fifteen thousand dollars
at least. This man had a sort of i'm
preston that he earned little or moth
ing; in a word, to use his own express
sion, he just managed ito keep things
going" yet he had not only made g.
living, no doubt an economical one, for
himself and his family, but had accumu,
lated fifteen thousand dollars; and yet,
beyond certain shrewdness and good
Judgment, this man had no special
ability, and according to his own adj
mission he had had no special adj
vantages. Could he hsve done better
or as well in any other line of life? On
the other hand, we have constantly
present cases where men, have start
ed in with some capital in farm
ing and lost it all, or are worse
off to-day than they were fifteen
years ago, while the cases are legion
where, after painful struggle with for
tune, lasting ten, fifteen, or twenty
years, the farmer has succumbed to the
temptation of selling his farm for twice
what he paid for it, AMI taking what
was left after paying mortgage and
debts, has made another move west
ward to begin life anew under, let us
hope more favorable auspices. But is
it not a fact that, in most of these
cases, the victims of what they call
ill luck are men who would not have
risen anywhere to higher position
than that of mere laborers? Work
men there are in abundance-carpen-
tiers, ioiners, blacksmths, painters,
printers, but how many are there who,
in addition to knowing their trade,
have the additional qualifications to
conduct a business of their own, or
even to make competent foremen? So
with farmers, how many there are COM
potent enough to conduct the ordinary
operations of the farm, but lacking in
the good sense, the Judgment intelli-
gence, and general capacity to conduct
the business of farming successfully.
Such men manage to exc out poor
living, and on farms not worth more
than ten to twenty dollars an acre their
i'll success is not quite SO conspicuous,
but as the country grows and their
neighborhood becomes settled and land
rises in value, they feel out of place and
behind the rest of the procession, and
as they have never made an effort at
self-improvement, and probably are un-
equal to the task, perhaps the best
thing they can do is to sell out to bet
ter man and move out Oh the way

GARDEN HERBS.
Things Which are Essential to Every
Good Garden.

Things Which are Essential to Every
Good Garden.
Few things add more to the pleasure
Of a thoroughly good cook than to have
full supply of kitchen herbs ready to
hand. A little of one thing or another
in this line often makes all the difference
between a successful dish and one Of
mediocre quality. Every garden should
have few, and where they are want
ing should be looked after at this
season.
Perhaps the most useful is parsley.
That has to be raised from seed, al
though if the fiower-stalks are cut off as
they come up in the summer, the same
plants may be prolonged several sea-
sons. 1t does not 60 to seed, however,
the first season of sowing; SO that if it
is sown early and gets strong before
summer comes we can get pretty good
supply of leaves the first season. The
seeds, however. take several weeks to
terminate, and should be put in as early
as possible.
Many make good use in winter of
marjoram and summer savory. These
are raised from seed sown at the usual
time in the spring. Sage and thyme
are perennials; bus they require an oc-
casional pruning or replanting to get
them in the best condition. If left to
themselves they become woody, scaly
and somewhat barren of leaves, if they
are not entirely killed by the severity Of
the winter Thyme can be kept in good
condition by being simply sheared down
to the ground or cut back with a knife
every spring. This induces good
healthy growth, which is in excellent
condition for use at any time. Sage
is often kept many years in good condi-
ton by simply cutting back; but often
it needs starting quite anew. This may
be done by taking cuttings of the old
plant and burying them down deep in
the ground so that the tops of the shoots
are barely above the surface. These
root well and soon make good plants.
There are other herbs useful on some
occasions; but these are essential to
every good garden. Farm, Stock and
Home.

About Fences.

Poor fences always beget unruly ami
mails, which result in damaged crops
and general loss. The judicious PLAN
ming and laying out OF fields will be
found great saving. Often fully
double the number of rods of fence is
supported than is absolutely required.
Sometimes two or three fields are kept
for moving, when BY Encouragement of
fences all might be converted into one
meadow, and so with fields used for
grazing and blowing. When the frost
comes out of the ground in the spring
the earth becomes soft and the strong
winds cause the post and board fences
to sway over, and at that time they neeG
attention. Straighten them with props
and keep them in line until the ground
has become settled, and they will re-
main straight during the season -Irt6-
