ABOUT DRAINAGE.
Some Valuable Hints sn an Important
 Subject.

In answer to queries propounded on drainage, Mir. Chamberlain, an authority on such matters, answers in the Country Gentleman as follows:
 How TO FIND AND KEEP GRADE.-The mains should follow the natural depres- sions where the water runs oil upon tho surface in wet times, of course straight ening the crooks somewhat. If there Is a regular slope like the roof of house, only not so steep, the mains should take the place of the caves troughs, and the laterals, If any, should run straight down the slope as nearly as may be. If the fall Is very slight, it may need a field leveling instrument to lay out the system. But usually very wet time is the best to locate drains. A furrow plowcd then by the eye will work it's own grade or show it.
 How TO DIG THE DIrCHEs.-If you have not ditching machine use a heavy breaking blow and strong team to throw out the first eight or ten inches, only drive straight If possible dig when there is just enough moisture down deep to ooze slowly into the bottom of tho ditch as you dig. Begin the spade digging at the outlet and work along up the mains and laterals. The water will show the level. Permit no dips or de- uressions. Dig as narrow and true as possible 70 the required depth and groove the bottom of the ditch with a bottoming scoop of size adapted to the tiles used. This and the ditching spades, at least, you should have for three thou sand feet of tiling. l usually establish the grade pretty nearly with the blow, blowing deeper through knolls and shallower through Impressions, and then dig two or three depths of the spade according to the depth required, keeping the spade at the same angle all the time and thrusting it full depth each time. This preserves the grade. It takes true eye. olf you have not one naturally you had better hire good, practical tile ditcher and learn of him a few days. This is what did at first, If there is no water in the soil to show level the surest way is to draw some into the field, and when your eye or the span level says your groove is cut straight and true for hundred feet or more turn in just enough water at the upper end to test it.
 The span level l make thus: Take three pieces of by ? inch pine batten s4 feet long, and haMe them together with screws firmly at the ends in the form of an equilateral triangle. Then half way up from one side b c, and ex- actly parallel to it, screw on fourth pieoe c, like the cross mark of q let ter A, thus (see figurel. To the side

sword in Every CmhrelIs.

In Words on Wellington, we have a very remarkable instance given of how absolutely his French enemies relied on his honor. Before the battle of Orthez the bridge over the Gave de Pau had been passed by the French army. The Duke sent d note to Marshal SOult, say ing. That battle would. of course, take place on the following day, but that, as it was desirable in the interest of tke inhabitants of Orthez not to destroy the bridge, he promised that, if Marshal Soult would abstain from blowing it up, no soldier of the British army should cross it. Soult trusted him, and the bridge is to this day intact It seems that the Duke, though his unfinch- ing courage was never shaken, lived in apprehe nsiOn of assassination. After bis death an officer quartered at Walncr visited the castle and begged for souvenir. The servant showing him over the place pointed to lot of um- brcllas and told him to help himself. He took one, opened it, and found a sword. ''oh yes" said the servant, there is q sword Tn every umbrella. e. London Court Journal.

Hundred and Fiftieth Grandchild.
 General Alger told of queer and in- tereSting customer whom he met re- gently in Tennessee at . place named after himself, Anderson, and of whom he had recently bought 20,00O acres of timber land. The old gentleman lived in large, white house with big DOT tico in front of it, and there were dotted around in different fields other small white houses. General Alger asked him:
 How old are you?"
 "Eighty-two.
 Enjoying good healthP"
 "Yes, very good.
 "How many children have youP"
 Nursing the l49th great-grandchild now I'll send and get him for you
 What do you mean to say? One hun dred and forty-nine?"
 Yes, l had twenty-seven children, and with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildrenw We are nursing the l49th now, and I'll send and get him for you"
 So the old gentleman sent out to one of the small white houses in the cluster, and very nice specimen of a hearty baby boy was brought in.
 The General asked him where he was during the war. Right here, and the boys cleaned me out of every thing eX. cept SOW and two pigs which we kept in the cellar right under our parlor floor, and they were not found. One day one of the blue-coated Generals came along and asked me how many cattle l had. None at all, told him. None at alp Not one, says l. But paid for that lie about two days afterward when those blue-coats found my herd of cattle and drove them down here into this place and began slaughtering them right be- fore my eyes. interfered and ordered them to Stop that; you're slaughtering my cows, 0, no, said the General; they are not yours; we have it from your own lips that you had no cows at all, and they went right on and slaughtered the whole of them. l could never get a voucher for them because had said that l didn't have any; So lost the whole herd.

MAKE CHILDREN HAPPY.
Parental Kindness win Yield Rich
 Harvest in After Years.

Harvest in After Years.
 IL does not take much 70 make a child happy. It grows and thrives in the sun shine of good temper and cheerful sur roundings, pleased with little things. And 1t seems a pity that all who have to do with the bringing up of little folks should not understand this, and con- stantly try by studying their habits and ways to make them happy.
 Mothers who have so much to do that they can scarcely see any end to their work, sometimes find it very hard to give tho time to the children which if takes to give them these trifing enjoy ments. In baking, for instance, the lit tie pie or the cake cutinto fancy shapes, all hinder the work few minutes, but they give the children much pleasure, and surely it pays for little extra ex- ertion to see how pleased the children arc made by them.
 Children are often hurt by needless refusals of innocent requests. It is . nuisance to stop some important work just to listen to child's request, but ths child is a young, living soul, and as such ls DFIHB LIdlItu bf Lllt diIuONpNtFt ll which it daily lives. If it always finds father, mother, or older brother or sister ready to listen to it's wants when they are made known, it will after a time be ready to be reasoned with, and only ask when it is sure it can be listened to with pleasure. Children do not tease the mothers who invariably listen to their requests, and pleasantly and firmly answer them at once. They learn that denials only are made for some reason after little while.
 All silken letters which tend to draw the parents and children in close bond $ of sympathy are bonds of influence ir after years, And by no means can these be more firmly knitted than by making children happy in their childhood. And the hours spent in making and mending toys, in playing with the children, and listening to their questions, and tryir z to grant all their reasonable wishes, wall prove those in which the seed was sOwn for rich harvest in after years.

On Warren avenue, in Chicago, lives q

tells:
at was twenty years ago. We lived, my
husband and |, with the children, on g
little farm near the Wabash river. My
husband went away with the wheat one
April, hauling all he had to sell in the big
wagon. He was to be back Saturday night,
and sat up for him. The children had
gone to bed, but l had a little supper ali
ready for him, and sat before the fire knit
ting. 1t was away past midnight, and l
was so drowsy finally went to sleep in the
rocking chair. The night was pretty chilly,
and seemed to feel the cold.
Presently l dreamed / was about my
work, shvering, when / heard my hus-
band throw an armful of wood in the box
behind the stove, and | thought, Now j
can have fire. turned to speak to him,
hut he was gone. and while wondered
how he could have put down the wood and
gotten away so soon | heard another sound
like wood falling in a box, though no one
was near it. Then walked up. The fire
was out and the clock showed it was two
hours past midnight. l Twas good deal
worried, but went to bed. Next morning
they brought my husbands body home.
He had been struck and killed by the night
express while crossing the track on his
way home, and his watch showed that the
awful accident had happened at just

A Great UniversIty,s Income.

The income of the University of Oxford
for the year is about eco, 200, of which some
El6,0OO comes from external sources, in.
GLIDING grant of $4,000 from the uni.
versity press. Thirteen thousand pounds
comes from trust funds, Is, 500 from col.
leges, and the remainder is internal reSe
nue., in which by far the largest items are
university dues and degree and examina.
ton fees. The rents Of lands have increased
by nearly $500, but the rents of houses have
slightly diminished.
OF this increase about Els 500 goes to in
situations, the Bodleian taking 81, $50
Professors get fl0,OO0, university officers
nearly $500 and examiners a4,7O0 The
university police and the special grant to
the Oxford city police absorb e., ECO. There
are an immense number of miscellaneous
payments of all kinds.
During the year the university has in
creased its capital by nearly R13, 900, a very
satisfactory state of affairs, which, how.
ever, is mainly due to the sction of the
university press in paying $4,000 TO the
general fund. This press Is exceedingly
well managed by the curators, who are
liberal to authors, and yet so fortunate in
their transactions that they can show a
large profit every year.--London Truth

The Cause Of Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case of fllll-fledged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences Of
that neglect are fully realized. AS a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.
