1 remember upon one occasion, SAYS
I writer in The PHILADELPHIA NelcS, that
Boyton was called upon by the frantic
cries for help of a man who had got
beyond his depth and plunged into the
breakers, followed by a surf boat. The
treacherous undertOw, setting strongly
seaward, had caught the unfortunate
swimmer, and he was being carried out
OF the reach of assistance. 3ovton
seized him Just as he was about to sink
for the last time, and had him hauled
aboard the boat. The man was utterly
exhausted and it was nearly an hour
before he was fully restored. He took
off his bathing suit, dressed himself
and then with rare magnanimity took
from his vest pocket a .50-cent note
tsilver half-dollars were not as plenti-
full then rs now and handed it to Boy
ton, saying:
81 owe you my life, sir, and hope
you will call upon me whenever you
want favor. Take this money and
treat yourself and your assistants 10 a
good stiff drink. You certainly must
be chilled through"
Boyton is of Irish extraction, and as
quick-witted as PhilpOt Curran.
Il think you have made mistake"
he said you put to much value
upon your life. Permit me to give
you your change, and before the crest
fallen miser knew what to reply Boy
ton had thrust into his hand 80 cents
in pennies, Scent pieces and 10-cent
notes. Il will keep this note as a
souvenir of the value of human life"
SAID Paul. coolly putting it into his
pocket. He has it TO this day.

lay their eggs near the roots Of peren-
NAL plants, such as riu0arb, holly
hook, etc, and in the vicinity of such
plants We may confidently expect to
find plenty oil young cut worms in
spring. One of the easiest ways to
get rid Of the pests is TO scatter pieces

weeks before the irtended crop is to be

.patch should be gone over early every
morning. and the cut worms hunted
up near the fresh cut plants and de-
stroyed. If this is done for week-or
so there viii be few worms left to
trouble the crop afterward. The
worms can also be starved out of d
piece Of land or orchard by growing
several successive crops of buckwheat
on it. and allowing no other plant or
weed TO grow for an entire season.
When mature the larva enters the
ground. where it forms an oval. smooth
cavity, within which it changes to
chrysalis Of a deep mahogany-brown
color, pointed at the extremity. These
ehrysalades are often turned up in
large numbers when the ground is
plowed. Birds OF all kinds and even
domestic fowls are very fond of these
(as many of them are also
OF the larve), and many OF them are
thus destroyed by their enemies. to

Under the stimulous of the sugar
bounty it is to be expected that within
the next few years a large number Of
attempts viii be made TO produce beet
sugar. The experiments made at the
agricultural department stations show
that many states can profitably grow
sugar beets The difficulty viii be to
gel established that combination be-
tween grower and manufacturer which
is necessary for the economical pro-
duction Of sugar. The old habits of
farming will not produce sugar beets.
The ground must be prepared careful
ly and thoroughly, and no farmer who
has not improved tools and who cannot
devote considerable amount of atten-
ton TO the work need expect to grow
beets at a profit. Then. too. the fac
tory for producing the sugar must be
constructed with care and its opera
tons must be conducted with economy.
The bounty will help those who help
themselves; bat it will not allow care

Useless Weapons.

Il was at Ell Teb that 1 was first
struck with the inferior quality of the
English bayonet and sword bayonet.
At Tamai, in the rush and scurry, it
was put to seyerer test than any
where else in the Soudan- In that
battle the HadendOwas, as skey rushed
out of their grass cover with their
short spears, fairly pitched themselves
upon the weapons of oGr Black Watch
and Goth. The triangular bayonet
oftentimes bent and twisted. On the
whole, however, it stood the test bet
ter than the sword bayonet. Like the
sword bayonet, it often bent like hoop
iron when 4 thrust was made. if bone
nterposed, and became corkscrewed
in the struggle.
1t has two serious drawbacks, not so
observable in the sword bayOnet. The
wound it makes is slight, 50 that 4
fanatical savage or Infuriated man re-
quires several thrusts before he is
placed hors de combat, giving him
chance to run much among civilized
troops. In the second place, the tri-
angular bayonet, when thrust violent
ly, goes too far, and there is great diff
liculty in freeing it. AT Tamai, stall
wart soldier hooked his opponent in
such manner that he had 20 draw the

treating, before A5ecaii3s his weapon

quently lacks temper. l have seen
blue jackets cutlass-sword bayonet ut
Tamai, as well as some in the battles
up the Nile, bend into a semicircle
and remain in that shape, uniting it
for a second point. The use it was
put to did not Justify the giving way
Of the weapon. The fact that it did
not regain its form further proved that
the quality of the blade was the poor
est. 1t would have gone the same way
had it been driven awkardly into
sack of flour.
There can be no real difficulty with
our mechanics aud workshops in pro-
ducing bayonets that will bear the
brunt of rough usage in campaign.
What l have said of the bad quality of
the cutlass applies equally to the sword
bayonet. Many soldier at Abu Klea,
saw with dismay his bayonet rendered
useless at the moment when there was
no chance to load his rifle, and when
he most stood in need of its services.
There also l saw sword bayonets bend
and twist with the facility of soft iron
rather than steel. After that fight
you might have noticed brawny foot
guardsmen, herculean life guardsmen.
and the def fighters of the mounted
infantry, all of whom had stood
shoulder to shoulder in the square,
Strengthening their bayonets across

were who discarded their weapons and
