"And where do you attend!" "Well, sir,

MUNKACSY'S STORY,
Days When the Great Hungarian Artist
Painted for Bare Living.

Days When the Great Hungarian Artist
Painted for Bare Living.
Although not yet forty-five years
old, NJ. de Munkacsy, because of his
wonderful experiences. has already
eX sted a lifetime. In the Hungarian
village of Munkacsy lived poor fami-
" named Lib. The Youngest of twelve
children was called Michel, and when
an orphan and pennIless. But little
Miska, as he was called. had the good
fortune to be adopted by his aunt,
who was a rich widow. One day a
band of robbers coming from the
Danube killed the servants, plundered
the house. and. after having mortally
wounded the aunt OF Miska. de-
parted with all her treasures.
A second time was the boy an
orphan and penniless. although but
ten years old. An uncle, too poor to
care for him. apprenticed Miska as a
carpenter. For three years he slept
in the stable and ate with the poor
workmen. all for the recompense of q
few flOrins each year. At thirteen his
condition improved little, but. fort
unately, when he reached the age Of
sixteen, he was so i'll that his uncle
house was his only shelter During
his ,convalescence, while still too weak
to work. he tried to sketch. and. by
chance. one ofshis sketches fell under
the eyes of the artist Samosi, who was
pleased enough to answer for Miska's
future.
But the youthful genius was obliged

DEEP CORN CULTURE.
Many Advantages That Are Secured by
Thorough Cultivation.

Many Advantages That Are Secured by
Thorough Cultivation.
l have recently noticed a great deal
of controversy in regard to deep and
shallow culture of corn. 1t is true
that it would be hard 10 adopt par
ticular m ode of cultivation that would
suit all kinds Of soils. But if there is
any mode of cultivation suited to all
kinds of soils it surely is deep cultva-
ton for corn in the early part of the
ason.
My mode Of cultivating corn is to
harrow it thoroughly when l see the
first signs of it coming through the
ground, if the ground is in condition
for narrowing. Then as soon as the
corn is up sufficient to see it in the
rows start the cultivator. using long.
narrow shovels. and plow as close
to the corn and as deep as possible. the
deeper the better. After blowing
the corn each way as above, use wider
shovels for the next two plowings. and
don't plow quite SO close to the corn.
But don't break your shoulders to hold
the shovels out of the ground, for the
deeper the better.
The corn has now been plowed four
times, and if the season is at all good,
is too large for a two-hOrse eultivator.
Let it rest for one week, then take a
large adjustable double-shovel set
the shevels wide apart and run once
in each row. each way, thoroughly
stirring the middles of the rows. This
usually will be cultivation enough,
but in case of a heavy rain, as soon as
the ground is dry enough run through
again with the double-shovel to loosen
the crust that will naturally form after
heavy rains, and when the soil be-
comes hard and compact. the air and
heat can not enter. and when a shower
falls, unless it lasts long enough to
completely soften the upper crust the
water required by the plants runs off
and no benefit is gained. By keeping
the earth loose the heat goes down
and surplus water evaporates- Should
n shower fall the water soaks in and
large quantity is secured, compared
with the soil that is compact
The air is the great disintegratlng
agent of soils. and which renders solu-
BILE the plant food. If the air can not
enter the SOIL the substance that should
be appropriated by the growing crop
remains inert and but slowly performs
the work that should be done quickly.
The roots of plants have large feeding
surface when the earth is loose. If it
is compact and the roots are compelled
so push through the soil slowly and
with effort it is loss of so much en-
errv, and bad results follow.
Many advantages are secured by
and deep cultivation; the
roots have greater feeding capacity
and larger amount of moisture is
secured; the air penetrates deeper and
the heat is more readily converted into
force.
Keep the soil well and deeply stirred
early in the season. Keep the soil
loose at all times and cultivate always
after each rain until you can feed your
horse on roasting ears. / believe in
he old motto:
Pillow deep while sluggards sleep,
And you will have corn to sell and corn to keep.

RemExBtR LOTS WIFE.

The Text from which MIR. TomIin Drew
his Last Nights Inspiration.
An interesting discourse was given
lest evening by Mr.. Tomlin from Luke
II :32, Remember Lots wife" Notice q
few points in the lesson which ii needed
will be of use TO ell. Christ provides q
remedy for sin and gives saving grace.
We should employ the powers we possess
in searching after God, and in seeking
for his truth and our personal obliga-
tions to him, in order to meet the claims
OF God and be sale for time and for
eternity. We are called to exercise "a
memory-'Remt mber Lots wife" Some
may object to the story on the ground
that 1t is only an allegory. / have no
question as to Its being a litesal truth.
Let us come to remember this woman,
see her in q wicked city-a place pre-
eminently worldly-with exceedingly
worldly people. utterly disregafding God
and in open defiance of law. God
pleads with her to escape for her life. TO
come out OF the doomed cities to a place
of refuge. The salvation offered to her
was the only salvation to be had. We
should employ the means at hand. We
are commanded to be separate and come
out from among them. There is only
one thing in which We can hinder God
from doing what he will and that is in
the salvation Of our souls. We may be
very near salvation and yet be lost.
Salvation was very near Lots wife-the
messenger took her by the hand-and
yet how far was she from salvation.
God comes by his spirit and pleads with
you, kind friends clasp your hand in
christian love and earnestness. II you
will come salvation shall be yours,
Each time you put it off you lesson the
probability that you will come ct all
We must be faithful unto death il we
| would receive the crown OF life. Saliva
ton is near you. Salvation IN Ch,ist
! There is salvation in no other. Will
you start for the kingdom to night. Will
you flee from tho danger you are in? II
you come he will receive you. Commit
