The Hangman's Stone.

There are numerous large powders
in different parts of England, which
have received the name of Hang
mans Stone in consequence of a
legend which attaches much the same
story to each. There were two fields
in the parish of Foremark, Derbyshire,
called the great and the little hang
mans stone. from the powders which
they contained. In the former there
was a stone five or six feet high, with
an indention running across the top of
it. This peculiar mark was explained
by the tradition that once upon time
thief, having stolen a sheep, placed
his booty on the top of the stone while
he rested. but it slipped of and
strangled the man with a rope which
tied the sheep to his back, the linden
tation being made by the friction of
the rope passing back and forth in the
struggles of the dying man to extricate
himself. and Queries.

How HOLSTERS Are Gated.

The usual method of taking Holsters
is by means of the pot The pot is a
trap baited with fish, and which is
sunk to certain depth. These traps
are marked with buOys, left for tide,
and then the lobsterer goes out in his
boat, hauls up his trap, and secures
his Holsters. At times, however, off
the coast of Maine there are estu-
aries, which are of great length, run
ming between the lodges of rock.
Pools are many and of considerable
depth. When Holsters are plentiful, at
certain seasons, they run in from the
sea, and seek these estuaries for food,
small fish being abundant. As the
tide recedes, the Holsters remain in
some of the rocky basins, and can be
GATED. The gait has stout hickory
stock, and the gaff itself is generally
three-pronged, and made out of the
best steel. A good gaff is rarely bought
ready-made, but is turned out by the
village blacksmith. Its temper must be
excellent, as it must neither be too soft
nor brittle. To use the gait requires
no small amount of skill, for in the
water the movements of the lobster are
rapid. He can back or turn in the
fraction of second, and then in color
he assimilates to the shade of sea-
water. Many of the largest Holsters
are taken in this way, but are not
brought to a market, because gazing
lobster generally kills it, and a dead
lobster is not Observation-Disclosures

BEDDING FOR STOCK.
Comments by = Man Who Has Made
Farming Pay.

Farming Pay.
When 1 see a neighbours stock stand
ing without bedding, 1 next take look
at his barnyard, and ] always find ma
nure two or three years old. 1t is
invariably true of the man who is too
improvident to furnish bedding for his
stock, in this country, where straw is
so plenty, that he places very little
value on manure, or, as is usually the
case, he lives on a large farm, and be-
lieving that the manure he makes
would cover but small portion of his
land, he neglects to draw and spread
it. / have seen a farmer-who is a
granger. who attends regularly all
grange meetings and picnics- leave his
manure until it filled his doorways and
rotted out his floors. Just before win
ter set in he would draw out few
loads, so that they could get out and
in without too much trouble. /
have seen his horses standing
pitched forward with their hind
quarters on a foot or two of ma
nure, and no straw in sight. / have
seen seven head of cows and young
cattle dragged out for burial in one
spring. l have seen the poor brutes
search for water in a frozen mud-hole,
fall into it and die. / have seen the
blasts of winter tearing through his
rickety barns, covering his hay and
grain with snow, and his poor, skinny
cattle bumped up in corners of the
fence, no doubt wishing death to end
their sufferings. / have seen twenty
or twenty-five bushels of wheat under
his barn, with pigs, chickens and ducks
running to it, and hundreds of bushels
of grain piled on his barn floor, with
two feet of mold, rottenness and sprout-
ed grain in the center, and his tools
ali! have told enough Ten years ago
l resolved to make a speciality of saw
ing and making manure. Ihave never
regretted it. My crops are growing
heavier every year. and also standing
drouth much better. There is no bet
ter way to make lots of manure than to
put an abundance of straw under the
stock. The assurance that horses and
cattle are in dry, warm quarters, stand
ing in straw up to their knees, causes
the thrifty farmer to doubly enjoy his
own warm freside and cosy bed.-N.

THE BLESSED SLEEP.
Misery Comes at Its Worst When SlumbeI
Forsakes the Body.


Nothing could show the universally
and humanity of shakespeare better,
and the greatness of his power of ex-
preston, than all his knowledge ard
assurance of the blessing of sleep, tie
misery of the want of it, the horror
filling it with racking dreams when
mind and body are at war. or the soul
and sorrow have struck hands. For 70
most of man and womankind comes a
time at last when such dreams alight
about the edges of sleep like foul crea-
lures, and the night becomes ones famil-
lar, as if it were some medieval demon,
care sitting beside the pillow, anxiety
tossing the clothes, suspense and sor-
row tapping CHASTITY wings about the
bed, and the worn and weary nerves
tormenting the flesh like so many little
red-hot pinchers of torture. when the
very disease for which sleep would be
a remedy drives sleep away, and the
sufferer travels all night in vicious
circle, more panied and weary jaunt
than all the witches of mid-air ever
took upon their broom-sticks.
1t is not the easy, well-digested. care
less nature that knows the torture of
wakefulness; fat men, as rule, are
''such as sleep o nights" and one of
Shakespeare's people exclaims:
Thou hast no figure nor fantasies
Which busy care draws in the brains OF men,
Therefore thou sleepst so sound
But it is the worrying soul that can
not find sleep. that frightens sleep
away, that wears sleep thin and wears
it out, till there is no sleep for that
poor soul.
1t has come to be generally admitted
that worry does far more harm to the
would-be sleeper than work ever does;
that work, even in undue quantity, does
but fatigue the body, and makes sound
sleep the surer. But worry fatigues the
nerves, and in fatiguing them excites
them to the point where the thickest
blanket of the dark that can be drawn is
penetrated by their sharp stings. The
nervous system, when all is said, is I'M
derstood less than any thing in the earth
beneath or in the heavens above it; it
is the most difficult of all tasks to regu-
late it when it is once out of order; it
is that part of humanity which should
be most carefully kept and considered.
and tried as little as possible.
To tell person of nervous tempera-
ment not to worry is work Of superer-
ogation; rather should one help to make
things so that there should be nothing
to worry about. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE for such person to help worrying
over every pins prick. But just as soon
as worry can be RENTED and appre-
hension forgotten does sleep become
possible, sleep, the only sovereign
power which can lay its cool hand upon
the burning brain. and bring it from
wild unrest to deep repose and the
sweets of life.-Harper's Bazaar.

And wishes his days at an end!
Never yield TO despair. but patiently bear
Such mishaps man can not mend
What miner who works the auriferous earth,
Its glIttering store TO unfold,
Would be sour in mood, if the yield had was

Because he found dross with the gold!
Then while you are working the vast mine OF

Be humble content and resigned
Never worry nor fret; take the best you can get
And whistle the worst down the wind.

Misfortunes may fret US, temptations beset US

What folly to look on the dark side OF life,
While the world is refulgent with light!
