get drink as cool as the stomach ought to
have. Sometimes a barrel, covered with a
cloth kept wet, is used for the same purpose.
The water thus piped to various points on
the farm is sometimes carried from the by
drants through bitches, which run along the
highest parts of the ground. These bitches
are the simplest possible in construction.
They go winding about like natural streams.
Sometimes a furrow of the large farm pillow
answers every purpose. For the capillaries
of the circulation the burrows made between
the rows of vegetables in cultivating them
are quite sufficient. When you have irri.
gated few rows, a hoeful or two of earth
applied to each furrow stops the water from
them, and then the dam is removed farther
down the main stream. and more rows are
irrigated in the same way.-Henry j. Phil
pott in Popular Science Monthly.

Editors in Encland.

In England the editor of a newspaper has
no such interesting personality as he has
here. Nobody takes the slightest interest i'll
him. No matter what the influence or circu-
lation of journal, the name of the editor is
rarely asked for. The two notable excep-
tions, who prove this rule, are Sir Edwin Ar
mold, of The Daily Telegraph, and w. T.
Stead, of The Pail Mall Gazette Of these
two, Stead is by far the more notorious, for
he has the more striking and eccentric per-
sonality. The Pail Mall Gazette is the one
sensational daily of London, and many a SEN
sation it has made. One of them landed

AnpniA.

A condition of anRmia, or lack of blood,
occurs in the course of many acute and
chronic diseases, and, under such circum-
stances, is of importance only i'll connection
with the special disorder which It accom-
panieS. But what of the many persons who are
evidently poor blOOded," and yet have no
other known physical infrmity' This con-
ditiOn is seen in all degrees of severity, from
the simple an9mia resulting from / slight
failure in the assimilation Of food up to the
well nigh incurable disease called pernicIIuS
anRmia.
A form of the disease called chlorosis, or
green sickness, which gets its name from the
Sickly greenish hue of the skin, is not unfre-
quently seen; it occurs especially III young
women who have too much indoor life and
too little exercise.
Several theories have been brought forward
by eminent medical gentlemen to explain the
affection. One authority ascribes it to the
imperfect development of the heart and blood
making organs; another thinks it is due to
the inability of the formative tissues to meet
the demands of the growing organism; still a
third believes it to result from a lack of iron
in form suitable for assimilation.
Sir Andrew Clark, the eminent London
physician, believes that in the majority of
cases the whole trouble results from the alb
sorption into the system of poisonous aka
loids, which are formed during the decom-
position of the contents of the digestive tract.
1t has been calculated that sufficient poison
is formed in the process of decomposition in
the intestines of . healthy man during twenty
four hours to cause death if retained and alb
SOrbed.
If such alialoids are mixed with the blood
there is every opportunity for them to exert
their baleful influence upon the tissues into
which they are carried. \ lack of attention
to the regular and complete evacuation of
the bowels is quite sufficient to account not
only for this special series of maladies, but
for many slghter ailments, and it has been
found that the sureSt method of treatment i'll
these cases is such a course of diet and laxa
tives as shall correct this irregular habit

An Algerian Wedding Feast.


A marriage celebration in Algeria is an in
teresting relic of ancient customs. The bride
groom goes to bring the bride, and the guests
assembled outside the house will wait for his
coming. Soon the sound of pipes is heard
coming from the summit of some neighboring
hill and the marriage procession approaches
the bridegrOom's house. The pipers always
come first i'll procession, then the bride, muf
fed up in a veil, riding mule led by her
lover Then comes a bevy of gorgeously
dressed dalnseS, sparkling with silver orna-
mentS, after which the friends of the bride
follow. The procession stops in front of the
bridegrOoms house, and the girls friends line
both sides of the pathway. The pipers march
off on one side, while the bridegroom lifts the
girl from the mule and holds her in his arms
The girls friends thereupon throw earth at
the bridegroom, when he hurres forward
and carries her over the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him with
olive branches, amid much laughter.
In the evenings, on such occasions, the
pipers and drummerS are called in, and the
women dance, two at a time, facing each
other; nor does a couple deSist until, painting
and exhausted, they step aside to make room
for another. The dance has great energy of
movement, though the steps are small and
changes of position slight, the dancers only
circhng round occasionally. But they swing
their bodies about with an astonishing ener-
gy and suppleneSs. As leaves futter before
the gale, so do they vibrate to the music;
they shake; they Shiver and tremble; they
extend quivering arms, wave wells, and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and frenzy of
the dance, while the other women, looking on,
encourage by their high, piercing, trilling
cries, which add to the noise of the pipes and
drums. Ladies' Home Journal.

Sing Sing Prison at Night.

AS one rushes by Sing Sing in Cen
trail Hudson train a glance can be had of
the main prison building. At night
rows of lights can be seen, lights that
illu1nine the long galleries upon which
are the cells in which the convicts sleep,
and the thought at once arises that the
big building is alive with moving figures
keepers with loaded rifles guarding each
gallery, on the alert for any outbreak.
After 9 o'clock at night not sound is
heard. The "all right" bell is sounded
at $40 every night, the day keepers are
replaced by few night men, the con-
victs are locked in their celia, iron en-
trance doors take the place of the wood
en- ones during the day, and the prison
is closed for the night. Even to the
warden's residence, where dinner is
served at 6, the influence of the quiet of
the prison extends, and about 8 o'clock
every one is asleep or apparently so.
With $50 people in that vast inclosure
not sound is heard except the tread of
the night guards or the FLASHING Of the

HE cARETH

What can it mean? Is it aught to him
That the nights are long and the days are dim.
Cnn he b touched by the grief bear,
which saddsns the heart and whitens the hair?
About his throne are eternal calms
And the strong glad music OF happy psalms
And bliss unrufied by any strife;
How can he care for my little lifes
And yee want him to care for me
While live in this world where sorrowsbe
When the lights die down from the path l take,
When strength is feeble and friends forsake,
When love and music that once did bless
Have left me to silence and loneliness,
And my life song changes to sobbing prayers,
Then my heart cries out for q God who cares
When shadows hang over the whole day long,
And my spirit Is bowed with shame and wrong,
When am not good, and the deeper shade
OF conscious sin makes my heart AFRAID,
And this busy world has too much to do
To stay In Its course to help me through,
And long for a Saviour-can it be
That the God of the universe cares for mes
o wonderful story of deathless lovel
Each child is dear to that heart above.
He hehts for me when cannot fight,
He comforts me in the gloom Of night,
He lifts the burden, for he is strong;
he stills the sigh and awakes the song;
The sorrow that bows me down he bears,
And loves and pardons because he cares!
Let all who are sad take heart again,
We are not alone in our hours Of pain;
Our Father stoops from his throne above
To soothe and quiet US with his love;
He leaves us not when the storm is high,
And we have safety, for he is nigh;
Can it be trouble which he doth share!
Ohi rest in peace, for the Lord will care.
