How a Rascal Was Freed.

The Duke of Ossoue IS celebrated for
the many quaint judgements and decis-
ioEs delivered by him while Viceroy of
Naples. some of them seem actuated
rather by spirit OF pleasantly than by
one OF justice. One day the Duke had
to choose galley slave who should be
liberated in honor OF some great feStI-
val. He went on board one of the GAL
leys, and, standing in front OF the first
bench of rowers, six i'm number, he be-
gan to question them all as to what had
brought them there. The first one con-
tented himself by calling God as a wit
ness TO his innocence and protesting
that he was there for no reason at all.
The second said his punishment and
disgrace were the work of his enemies,
and not the consequence of any crime.
The third protested that crying injus-
tice had been done him by his being
sent there without any trial. The
fourth said that the lord of his village
had become enamored of his wife and
caused him to be sent there out of the
way. The fifth declared that he come
from the hamlet of Somma, and that
he had been implicated in ROBBERY
there In which he really had had no
part at all, and that all his neighbors
would bear witness to his honesty.
The sixth, who had observed that all
these excuses and justifications did not
seem to please the Duke, took a differ
ent tone. your Excellency,' he said,

"Well-rotted mauure' is supposed to
have some specialsuperiority over fresh.
Upon investig alton it is found that.
what is gained one way, is lost in a.
mother, and that actually some loss is
incurred in the process of fermenta-
tion, and In exposure to the weather.
Further it is found, that nothing IS
lost by spreading the fresh manure as
it is made. The only differences be-
tween fresh and well-rotted manure is
that the latter contains more soluble
and available plant-food, which Is de-
sirable when immediate results are
wished for. But for top dressing wheat
or rye, or as a preparation for spring
crops, and to be plowed under, the ma.
nure may be spread on the land now,
more conveniently than at any other
time. The land is not cut up by the
wheels, and i'm many cases a sled can
be used, with great saving OF labor
in lifting the manure. II American

WHY Men Should Not Shaves

How about shaying, Doctor p
1T is dangerous habit. You can
trace nearly every case of toothache
and ficial neuralgia in a man to the
habit of shaving. If all men protected
their throats by chin-whiskers and the
nerves of the face by liberal growth,
you wouldn't hear of half the present
ailments. When / was boy / never
heard OF case of neuralgia in the ia
cial nerves. In these days it is as COM
mon as cases of ague. Men used to wear
boards. The fashion of to-day is meant
to encourage ailments. Shaving opens
the pores of the face and INVITES neu-
ralgia to step in and twitch the nerves.

Evolving a Story.

'Ahr ! said Smith, commercial
trayeler, to a group of friends, Il was
witness to a sight just before leaving
Chicago And then he told how he
had seen poor German immigrant
with his wife and family of eight yel-
low-haired children, how he had become
interested in them, and had learned
that they had left their native land to
seek a home in the Northwest. He
was touched with the tenderness of the
father and saw him purchasing apples
for the children. All the family except
the father had taken their seats on the
train, and he was just making change
on the platform for his small purchase
when the train began to move out OF
the station. He made rush for it,,
slipped, and then before the eyes Of the
poor family and other horror struck
passengers, his head was taken off by
the cars.
Smiths friends were much affected
and it was decided to take up a purse
for the poor widow and fatherless chill

NOBODY KNOWS. /"

II don't KNOW is frank answer and
often the correct one, as the following
anecdote illustrates
The late Prof. Sophocies of Harvard
University, q native Greek, was a man
of great learning, and volumnious
author. He was man of whom schol-
ars heard and read more and knew less
than of any other distinguished person
in the whole country.
He lived alone, cooked his own meals .
and got up many queer dishes. He
was something of a wit, and knew how
to wake up students, though he was
not thoroughly successful teacher i'm
the school room.
Tt is said that in a class room he ask :

The Boy and tn @ Bulldog.

Once upon time certain little boy
observed his sister curling her hair a.
round hot poker, and when he saw
her golden ringlets twist up like
Georgia pine shayings, what he consid
cred an overweight idea struck him.
"The folks next..door say their pug is
better than our bulldog, because its
tail curls over It's back so tight. I'll
just curl the bull dogs tail now, and
run him up and down in front of their
house, and make them feel mean."
So he called the dog, and heated the
poker until it was almost red, in order
to get good curl. Grasping the dogs
tail, he quickly wound it around the
poker but it was not wound around
the poker half as quickly as the dog
was wound around the boy. He pick
ed him up by the small of his back. and
shook him out of his clothes, and left
nothing on him but his freckles and a
look of terror. The BOY was then o.
bliged to lie in bed until his father
could afford to get him a new suit Of
clothes, which was month later.
The moral of this little fable teaches
us two things; first, that bright, origi-
nal ideas are dangerous in the hands of
people who don't know how to use
them, and, second, that when we ex-
pertinent with bulldog we should
muzzle him before beginning.-Puck.

VALENTINES.
From the New Y0r X Observer.

Surely no reader Of the Observer
would ever think of sending coarse or
unkind valentine. There can be no
stronger mark of bad taste than 10 send
anonymously missive that may offend
the recipient. l have known persons
who haye suffered tortures through the
receipt of some foolish valentine, so
called, that was sent out OF sadly mis-
named fun, or with malice afore-
thought. Unfortunately in such a
case, the recipient is very likely to
charge the cruel act to some innocent
persCn who would not have made such
a stab in the dark on any account.
Thus misunderstanding occur and
friendships are rudely interrupted. 1t
would be we'll If ever tempted to do
anything that is calculated to hurt the
feelings of any one to ask ones self.
'How would | feel IL this were done to
me p Let us bring the golden rule in
to action i'm all these little matters of
life. and we shall often avoid paining
others and storing up painful memories
for ourselves. And this all born in
mind, I would say that the custom Of
sending valentines is proper and very
pleasant one. 1t is a pity to expend
money on very costly ones, however,
because the charm is not so much in
the cost of the article received as in the
fact that one is remembered on st.
valentines Day. Nor is 1t necessary
to make the valentine tribute to Gu
pid simply. There are surely many lit
tie boys and girls of our acquaintance
who would be gratified by receiving a
valentine and who are not old enough
tn take serious account OF its purport.
Possibly by little planning we can so
arrange matters that they shall not be
forgotten. The young men and maid
ems may feel that for them 1t Is desira-
ple to send to one and only one friend,
bnt our boys and girls need not be thus
limited. Especially let far-off little
cousins aud friends be remembered.
Acuuaintances who have gone To dis
tnt parts are often greatly pleased at
receiving these tokens of love and good
will from the old home. A certain lit
tle grandson is not likely soon to be
forgotten by a certain grandmamma,
and all because last st. Valentines day
bore one of the pretty missives to the
old lady. who somehow deYined or dis
covered the source Of her welcome gift.
Any custom that leads us to think of
others, that enables us to minister to
their harmless pleasure, and that tells
them they are loved and thoughtRabout

to be pitied who cannot get and give
little amusement out of it, while those
who turn it to account to wound the
feelings of others ought to be most Sc
Yerely condemned.

Picking Out Good Oranges.

To very many an orange is an orange,
the only variation distinguishable being
in size and corresponding price, while
those who know the difference between
Florida "Seville p" and Z" Messina :"
oranges are considered experts. The
Florida Catechism" tells us better
than that. We learn from it that there
are "over thirty" varieties of sweet
oranges, not to mention the natural
stock" which is larger and handsomer
fruit than the sweet orange, and is eX-
cellent for orangeade and marmalade,
but, being very sour, is seldom shipped
north. The medium sizes are apt to be
the choicest, and probably the very
sweetest orange that is marketed is the
rusty-coated and Unlocking orange,
which might be considered inferior by
an amateur" Furthermore: "The way
to detect oranges is to heft them in
your hands; pick out the thin-skinned,
heavy fruit and you are all right" The
lightweight fruit is apt to be juiceless, a
condition caused either by slight freez-
ing while on the tree, or, more probably,
by the poverty of the soil in which it
grew. All this applies to the sweet
oranges. The " kid-glove" oranges
are grown in Florida from two stocks
brought, respectively, from China and
Tangiers. Hence they are called Man
DARN and Margarine oranges. Both are
small; the skin is loose and easily re-
moved, and the sections fall apart so
readily that lady can eat one without
soiling her gloves; hence the name.
Some other interesting bits of informa-
ton may be picked out from this " cate
chism." 1t is not generally known, for
instance, that San orange that is en-
tirely dead ripe in December will hang
ON the tree until March, and is ready at
any time to be picked and shipped; !"
while so far from deteriorating, " the
longer they hang on the trees the
sweeter they grow,,,' and Florida
oranges purchased in February and
March are therefore apt to be better
than those procured early in the season.
Again, the notion that to know what an
orange is really like one must go where
the oranges grow, appears to be popu-
lar fallacy, as we are told that "the
orange picked from The tree is no
ripper or better than the orange on the
fruit stall in the North. "-Phildaelhia

The Great Snow of February, 1917.

In February, III, occurred the great
est fall of snow recorded in the annals
of New England-almost burying I'M
der the frozen mass the small Lighthouses
of the new plantations. So effectually
were even the most travelled roads
blocked that the magistrates and min
listers of Boston, who had come out of
the town on the first day of the storm
to attend the funeral of the Rev. Mr..
Brattle at Cambridge, were unable to
return for some days. The storm be-
gan on the Goth and ended on the oath
of February. Old Indians of hun
bred years said that their fathers had
never told them of such a snow. 1t
was six feet deep in the streets of Bos-
ton, ten feet at Dunstable, twelve feet
at Deerfeld, on the Connecticut. AT
Exeter and Dover, cottages and cabins
of one story were entirely buried, so
that the people dug paths from one
house to another under the snow
Many farmers lost their sheep, and in
some instances sheep and swine which
they saved lived from one to two weeks
without food. One man had some hens
buried near his barn which were dug
out alive eleven days after. During
the snow great number of deer came
