College Students Joke on the Car.
Years ago there existed ut Harvard
a secret society called the Med Fac, ."
whose sole object seems to have been
the preparation of practical Jokes At
one of the meetings it was suggested
that the society confer a fictitious hon
orary degree on Nicholas, who was at
that. time ear of Russia, and accord
inglv committee was appointed to
draft Il communication which should
be prepared and forwarded 10 his I'M
perial majesty. The draft was duly
presented, Il copy made, and. after
having been properly signed. sealed,
and certified" it was dispatched to
Russia. In the course of month or
two it was learned that one of the ex-
press companies had il package fer a
society called the Med. Fac" and
the officers of the society were not
tardy in claiming their property. At
tachcd TO the package WIS Il letter
bearing the ROYAL seal of Russia, and
on opening it it was found to be re-
ply from the chamberlain of the ear
to the communication of the society.
His majesty had with much pleasure
learned of the great honor conferred
upon him by such distinguished in-
stitution at harvard, and felt much
hattered with the dignity it bore. He
therefore, in accepting the honor de-
sired to convey his best wishes to this
distinguished part of the great uni
yersity,and hoped that the accompany
ing gift might be accepted as Il slight
token of his regard. Ga opening the
package it was found TO contain
complete ease of the most valuable
surgical instruments. The gift ever
afierward occupied Il prominent place

WHEN TO SOW GLOVER.

The Views of q Kentucky Farmer Given
In His Own Words.
p Clover is usually sown between
March and April |, and from eight to
twelve pounds of seed per acre is the
customary seeding. Many years ago l
became satisfied that such usage both
as TO time and quantity was not right.
Three pounds Of clover seed will sow
an acre more Arickly than seventy five
pounds of wheat The seed itself will
terminate with the certainty Of other
leguminous types, and good practice
implies such conditions of semination
as will insure both the termination OF
the seed and its preservation until its
root becomes firmly fixed in the earth
at and after which time red clover is a
very hardy plant.
When wheat, rye and barley are
seeded, the sowing ordinarily is on the
unpreparet. surface, and at time char
acterized by rapid changes OF temperar
ture and great atmospheric movements.
The sprouted seed is lost while in the
crook" either by sharp frost or the
arid wind Of d March afternoon-beinp

by my husband in developing his inven-

On account of the danger to persons
unacqnainted with the wires and to
preserve its secrets from inquisitive
eyes, access to this home workshop was
only by means Of movable ladder en-
tering trap-door through the ceiling
OF the room below, so arranged that
when the ladder was drawn up and the
trap closed no one would suspect there
was anything, save empty space, above.
A private telephone also was there
connecting with the factory to enable
my husband, when day working at
home, to direct matters in the distant
city.
AS my husband knew he would have
to be from home sometimes over night
he had solid oak shutters instead Of
blinds built on the first story windows,
and frequently cautioned me never to
open the doors to callers after dark
without first being certain Of their iden-
tity. ~'ss.

Finally, as it got toward nine o'clock,
told Lily, the colored girl, to fetch in

She lighted the lantern and started
for the dog. In few minutes she
