her on her knees beside her chair and
heard her speak my name in prayer

feeling of awe and reverence in my

school, then to college. then into life's
sterner duties. But never forgot that

were third and fourth with single blades.
This event gave fine exhibition OF
padding. the Springfield crew winning

padding events were well contested

The Irrigation or Orchards.

It has been demonstrated in California
that surface irrigation is not the best
method for orchards. The system ia un-
tidy, wasteful and causes an unneces-
sary growth of noxious weeds. 1t also
sturifies the tree growth, causing the
roots to form in a ball near the surface.
An orchard designed for market fruits
should he irrigated by means of under
ground conduits or cement pipes.
These are laid below the freezing
point and made Of sufficient dimensions
to carry the requisite quantity Of water
within three OF four feet Of the tree.
Small holes csit III the top Of the pipos
and covered by boxes to prevent the
holes filling with earth allow the water
to percolate slowly ont from the pipe
and lnoisten the soil at the roots Of the
tree.

EMINENT suicIDES

Give and castiereagh Killed Themselves
and Ma poleon Attempted TO.
The history Of suicides presents q long
array of eminent victims. The suicides
of antiquity are rot considered, for men
were educated in those days to embrace
suicide when all was lost. We do not
find rnany conspicuous instances of sui
eide in the Middle Ages. Outdoor ac-
tivity and an intensely practical life was
the rule with men of sensibility outside
of convent walls. and suicide was not
common until the Eighteenth century,
when men Of scdentary lives began to
multiply The Nineteenth century is
conspicuous for suicides compared with
the Eighteenth. and tho most studious
nation ia the world. Germany. furnishes
the larg est list Of suicides.
Next "a Germany. France furnishes
the laresst list of suicides among civil

to suiciic Their love of outdoor sports
keeps them free from dyspepsia and dis
orders of the liver, and their native
courage and endurance prompts them
to cling to i've even when life is but one
long. ceae sssss round Of pain. Three
eminent Engsishmen committed suicide,
Lord Give, the founder of England's 3
Indian empire; Sir Samuel Rornilly, q
great jursst and philanthropist. and
Lord CastlaTeagh. famous statesman,
England's representative in the congress
of Vienna after the fall Of Napoleon.
Give was a hypochrondriac from
youth, and used opium in his last years;
Romiliy was despondent over the death
of his wife, and bitterly repented his act
with his dying breath. The self de.
struction OF Castlereagh was never
clearly explained. Napoleon attempted
suicide. Frederick the Great prepared
| for it By carrying poison in his clothes
during his dreadful fight for his crown,

ted suicide. although suicide is more
common In America than in England
owing doubtless to the intensity Of oul

Insane men are frequently suicides
but it can hardly be said that all sui

| instinct Of self preservation may result
from severe mental and bodily suffer

I Two Facts About Z Ring.

An impressionable young gentleman
in q certain country town recently met
a charming girl whose grace and beauty
took his heart by storm. While con-
vcrsing with her he made discovery
which he fondly hoped would enable
him to make Ut one brilliant stroke an
elegant proof Of his ready wit and his
bonndless affection. Glancing at q
modest band of gold that encircled her
fair finger, he remarked, Sweet dam
sci, pray you present me with the ring
you wear, for ! assure you it exactly
resembles my love for you--it has no
end. y
Indeed, sir promptly replied the
maiden: "you must excuse me IL keep
the ring, for it exactly resembles also
my love for you--it has no beginning. Z

Rapid Transit in Rerlin.

Thirty miles Of underground electric
railway similar to the City and South
London line has been proposed for Ber-
lin at an estimated expense Of GIG, 0,000,-

power stations, supplying current at 500

own locomotive, carrying in all IA
carriages at one time. It Is proposed TO
run these trains at three minute inter-

at q fare Of e15 cents il Is estimated
that the traffic will be about five per
