A goodly share of Washington So
ciety is made up from those who have
legally outlived their official usefulness
and gone on the retired list. Their
Honors the Judges of the Supreme
Court come first, and they insist on
being invited out whenever the younger
and more active of those on the bench

CommodOres laid up in ordinary, like
dismantled iron-clads; Generals and
Colonies broken-winded and con-
demned as unfit for service. The crowd
is completed by ex-Senators and Repre-

THE OLD MANS PET.
A Touching Incident Which Bears the
Stamp of Truth.

A Touching Incident Which Bears the
Stamp of Truth.
Two years ago, a shoemaker Of Augs-
burg, in Germany, made up his mind
to come to America, where his two sons
had settled. The shoemaker's wife had
died, and he was left alone in the world,
the only live things in the house with
him being his pet dog and cage of
fnches. He gave his pet dog in charge
of one of his neighbOrs, and as for the
fnches, he sold them, because he was
poor and needed the money to help him
over the sea. He was very sorry to
part with one of the bullfnches, a
bright bird that had been taught by the
shoemaker's dead wife to whistle a soft,
low song from beginning to end, with.
out so much as false note. But he
sold the bird with the others, babe good.
bye to all his friends at Augsburg, and
set sail from the old world to the shin.
ing shores of the new.
When he reached America he went to
live with one of his sous III Brooklyn.
To his surprise, he found that both Of
his boys were well-to-do, and though
he had intended to open shoe-shop,
they told him that he must not do that,
but must pass the rest of his life in ease
and peace.
So, for the better part of two years,
the old shoemaker of Augsburg has
lived in Brooklyn, and in spite of the
fact that he has not "stuck to his last, :"
he has been contented. Nevertheless.
he often thought about Augsburg, and
about his pet bullfnch, wondering
whether the finch had found an owner
in the person of some Prince, ''fOr that
bird was fit to whistle before King, "
said he proudly.
One day, Just previous to the past
Christmas, the old German saw gray
squirrel in a cage in Il window of a bird
store in New York, and stopped to
watch its antics. AS he stood there he
! heard the whistle of bulItnch, and 50
he stepped quickly in. In large cage
near the door were dozen tinChes and
when the shoemaker approached the
cage one of the fincheS died along his
perch toward him and whetled softly.
The old man of Augsburg was already
bent of body, but he exctcdly bent still
lower, so that the finch could whistle in
his ear, and that the pleased bird did
with much gleeful sweetness. The
shoem ker was more than delighted, he
was overioyed; for indeed the finch
was his old-time pet, the fine whistler
that his wife had taught in the LITTLE
shop of Augsburg.
So the shoemaker bought the fincl
and took it home with him. He learn
ell from the dealer that the bird haC
been bought of firm of bird dealers il
Bremen last summer, and had beer
brought to America with two dozcl
trained whistlcrs of its kind, -LMuet

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
The SAILOR BOY.

KNEW little youngster
Who would sailor be;
He did not care for top or ball,
For marSles, kites or trinkets small
He did not care for these at all,
For he would go to sea.
Toe things he really cared for
Were queer things such as these:
Odd knots of rope, and bits of string,
A marlne-spike, a hammock ring,
India ink, or any thing
That might sailor please.
He liked to read of voyages,
And navigators lore.
And can tell you how" he said,
- To make a splice or a Turks head,
10 hold the reel or heave lead,
And--oh great deal more"
And if perchance you missed him,
When others were at play,
You'd find him slowed in some odd nook
OF cruising In his sailor book
With Frobisher or Captain Cook,
In regions far away.
he has not gone from home as yet,
To ship before the mast;
But only wait and you shall sec
Sailors are made from such as he;
LIN very sure that he will be
an Admiral at last

it to expand. But water expands;
hence, when the water in the
ground freezes it hoists the sur
face up and the wheat plants with
it. The wet ground, being heavier than
the roots of the wheat, settles down in
the spring, leaving the roots exposed.
Undertaking largely lessons this be-
cause it removes all surplus water from
the ground. Plants really require very
little moisture about their roots. Just
that amount which will imperceptibly
difuse itself through the earth, is best.
More suffocates the plant Under
draining reduces the water in the soil to,
or maintains it at, the proper amount;
hence, undertaking is the most effective
means against winter-killing. Making
the seed bed very fine and solid has
much the same effect, There is no sur
plus of water; and the water is dihused
through the ground. 1t is known that
wheat, on compact ground, is not
spewed out as IS wheat on loose ground.
This is sometimes accounted for by the
greater resistance which compact
ground would offer to the frost, and
also the greater tenacity with which it
would embrace the roots. But ground
1can not be so compacted as to resist the
expansive force of freezing water. The
reason is that there is less water to eX-
pand. Besides, the gram terminates
;lost readily in compact soil, and the
plant is more thrifty in fine ground;
hence, plants in such seed bed have
more vigor to endure the winter The
work on the seed bed for wheat should
begin early and be thorough,-Ameri-
