DREAMS.

Some tiny elves. one evening, grew miscniev-
Gus, it seems,
And broke into the store-room where the
Sandman keeps his dreams,
And gathered up whole armfuls of dreams
all bright and sweet,
And started forth to peddle them a-down the
village street.
Oh, You would never, never guess how queer.
ly these dreams sold;
Why, nearly all the youngest folk bought
dreams Of being old;
And one wee chap in curls and kits, gentle
little thing,
Invested in dream about an awful pirate
king;
maid, who thought her pretty name old
fashioned and absurd,
Bought dreams of names the longest and the
QueereSt ever heard
And, strange to say, a lad, who owned all
sorts of costly toys,
Bought dreams of selling papers with the
ragsedest of boys.
And then dream of summer and a barefoot
boy at play
Was bought up very quickly by a gentleman
quite gray;
And ono old lady-smiling through the grief
she tried to hide
Bought bright and tender visions of a little
girl who died.
A ragged little beggar girl, with weary, visit
full gaze,
Soon chose Cinderella dream, with jewels
all a-blaze-
Well, it wasn't many minutes from the time
they came in sight
Before the dreams were all sold out and the
elves had taken flight.

auently met with. but they are seldom
utilized.
Some years ago we obtained good re-
suits by damming little stream or
brook flowing by just above one
eighth-acre patch of celery, the rows
running with the natural slope of the
land and letting near the whole of this
water run along in little channels made
BY the hoe between the rows, until the
whole ground had a complete soaking.
1t took tons of water, but the result
was gratifying.
Ever since then we have been wishing
to prepare a piece of land for under
ground irrigation, in somewhat the same
way, as we find it described and illus
trated in a recent number of Drainage
and Farm Journal.
The use of common drain tile from two
to three or four inches in size, says our
contemporary, affords very convenient
and successful method of underground
irrigation.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
NEW USE FOR TILE.

How It May he Employed for sub-irriEa-
ton In Gardening.
The control of soil moisture, by stOr-
ing up part of the water supply during a
time of excessive rainfall for use at .
subsequent drought, is a problem that
has long occupied the minds of good
cultivators. We have begun to realize
that for general outdoor garden crops
soil-soaking is the only effective method,
and that mere surface sprinkling Is apt
TO do more harm than good.
Our modern improved appliances for
drawing water from wells by the use OF
wind-mills have made it feasible to fill,
ut comparative light expense, tanks
constructed somewhat above-grOund. and
thus obtain the necessary water and
pressure for flooding smaller areas in a
short time.
Where acres are to be irrigated, how
ever, arrangements of this kind will
soon ind their limit of usefulness, and

Of the soil. The lines of tile are laid at
adepth Of one foot or fifteen inches below
the surface. The excavations for the
tile may be made cheaply by blowing
out the trenches, passing back and forth
with the pillow three or four times in the
same furrow. Little labor will be re-
quired to bring the bottom of the trench
to regular grade. The lines of tile
should be laid as close as ten feet apart;
less will be better. The water turned
in at the stand-pipe A will pass along
the tile to the further end which is
closed. AS much as one acre may be in
cluded in one system if the surface con-
figuration will admit of it. The tile of
the upper end may be as large as five
inches, falling off to four, three and two
inches.
In the adoption Of this or any other
system, reference must be had to the in
clination, minding always the law of
gravity.

Ave inches in size, or larger if necessary,
with branches of smaller tile three

The shades of night had fallen with
unusual deliberation. They had fallen
to the extent of about a. m. Rev.
Wobbles awoke with start. There was
someone in the house-someone who
was stirring stealthily. Rev. Wobbles
was not coward. He arose and pro-
ceeded to investigate. He heard sounds
in the back parlor and went there. The
burglar was there and his dark lantern
made him visible to the naked eye.
''Ahem," remarked Mr.. Mobiles, by
way of introducing himself.
Throw up your hands," Kissed the
burglar, leveling at the same time a
seven-shooter at MIR. Wobbles. To the
distorted vision of the parson the
weapon seemed to be about ninety-six
caliber.
Yet he was not sore afraid. "My
friend" he said, with an attempt at
that facetiousness for which he is noted,
