They came slowly along Lafayette

with the paint worn off. the wagon
filled with kindling wood. On the
wagon seat sat boy about fifteen
years old. He had no overcoat. felt hat
with the brim more bent and dented
than the most eXtremely-fashionab able
hatyou ever saw. The old, tired horse
drew up close to the curb, and seemed
to be glad Of the opportunity to rest.
The boy on the wagon seat jumped
down and soon was shoveling the
wood into barrel, which he delivered
in a neighboring basement. He pres
emily returned with his empty barrel,
whistling. AS he threw his barrel
into the wagon a lady started to cross
the street over the snow. but when she
reached the middle of the street she
found a broad, deep puddle of soft
slush. She stood perfectly still and
apparently very much puzzled.

bright smile to the lady, began shov-

stones, and then, without giving the
lady IN opportunity to say a word.
sprang on to the seat of his wagon,
threw the shovel into the bottom of the

Walter Raleigh spreading his mantle
ut the feet of Queen Elizabeth came
into mind. but at once the thought
came. "Why, this boy is a greater
knight than Sir Walter Raleigh.
for he knew that it was the
Queen at whose feet he laid
the elegant cloak. but this boy
did not have the taintest idea who the
lady was that he served so nobly, and
did not permit her even the opportuni-
ty of thanking him, but acted through
out as if there was nothing else TO be
done" He had only his muscle to
help a lady. and he laid it at her serv-
ice. 1t takes more than handsome
clothes, pair of kid gloves and
fashionable hat to make gentleman.

An Infantile Ailment Due in Most Gas

Adults know very we'll that if they

spasms. The blood is driven back
from the extremities, the heart beats
with violence, the face is suffused with
color, and the unfortunate baby
screams in agony. How easily this

ercise of a little common CD sense.

ABOUT CORN ROWS.

No Field s Properly Prepared Unless
They Are Straight Each Way.
The amount of SCI d TO the hill should
be regulated somewhat by the dis
tance between the rows. Four and
one-half with three kernels, are nearly
equivalent to two kernels at three feet
eight inches apart. l prefer the latter
distance and number of kernels. There
are quite good many reasons why
prefer this distance to any other. In
the first place. it divides the acre into
exact lines and spaces. corresponding
to the divisions of the modern survey.
States are run out into parallel lines
or sections a mile apart. and these
section lines cross each other at right
angles. making Il square section, a
mile on each side. This square makes
four square farms half a mile each
way. When these farms are properly
and naturally divided into fields again.
they will be either 80 or 40 rods in
length or width. A field 81 rods long
and 40 rods wide is my ideal. Now
when such a field is marked out for
corn, at three feet eight in ches apart be-
tween the rows, nine rows the long
way or eighteen rows the short way,
will make exactly an acre. If the
hired man has cultivated seventy-two
rows the short way or thirty-six The
long way. you know he has gone over
four acres when he comes up to dim
ner. If the corn is cut up nine hills
square, forty shocks anywhere in the
field will make just one acre. and four
shocks pulled together and husked in
different parts of the field and meas
ured or weighed. will give one-teni h
the product of corn per acre. There
is no guess work. every thing is
mapped out, and every days progress
can be read. Nor is this all the adj
vantage. Every farmer who makes
any pretention TO accuracy in his
methods. knows how impossible it is
to turn corn-stalks completely under,
unless The last furrow before turning
the row, comes up close to the hills,
ard how impossible this latter task is,
when corn is planted so wide that
the furrow slices will not take it all
up between the rows. or so mar
row that the plowman must scant each
the distance apart which / practice
and recommend, three furrows will
take all between the rows naturally,
with no undue effort either way, and
there is no necessity or excuse for
crossing the row in plowing. No corn
field is properly prepared for crop
unless the rows are straight each way.
find my men take more delight and
interest i'm their work when there is
some exactness required Of them, and
they see that they are doing work
properly. after some regular plan.
Working corn is practieed very diff
ferentiy in different States. and we
must assume tina. there is reason for a
method, especially when 1t is general
ly adopted SO that question Of cultiva-
ton will sooner reach uniformity. -
