United States Commissioner of Agri-
culture Rusk, says: Charming is fast
becoming a science in the United States.
The farmers are studying more and they
know more to-day than ever before.
They have better advantages for study.
We are sending out a vast amount of
good information from the Agricultural
Department, and we reach through our
reports and the newspapers fully mil
lion families every month. The country
is full of agricultural books and news
papers and our experiment stations are
doing wonders. My idea is that Uncle
Sam should do the experimenting for the
farmer; he should test new grains, should
show how to bring up soils and should
prove to him by experiments whether
certain kinds of farming are profitable
or not. We are doing this thing at our
experiment stations and the results are
closely watched"

Potatoes Growing Like Pease.

Wellbaugh aud Chemung, in their ex-
plorations of the Colombian Andes, have
discovered species of potato the vines
of which were covered with we'll de-
veloped tubers growing in the open air
like pease or tomatoes. Each potato is
protected by thin film or membrane,
not unlike that which envelopes the
ground cherry" They do not grow in
clusters, each being given plenty OF
space in which to thoroughly mature.
The natives say that during the dry sea-
son the membrane surrounding each po-
tato is filled with water, which in mea-
sure protects it from the rays of the sun.

The expense of the maintenance OF
horses and mules IN America during the
periods of enforced idleness on account
of impassable roads is estimated at eighty
millions of dollars a year, land with hard,
smooth country roads not half the present
power would be required to draw loads.
These facts, and many more about "Our
Common Roads," are brought out in an
article In the Century.

A Simple Cure.

For rush of blood to the head try to
get some of it down to the feet. Even
in sitting you can use the same device
as that which prevents cold feet in q
church or horse car; rest the weight of
the leg on the toe Of each foot. Make
as though you we're about to walk Or
tiptoe. This diyerts the blood from an
apoplectic head, and is found to relieve
giddiness or swimming of the head in
few minutes Perhaps the resolution to
send the blood to the toes has something
to do with it, as we'll as the attitude.-

PIII'YPAT AND TIPPYTOE.

All day long they come and go
Pittypat and Tippytoe;
Footprints up and down the hail.
Playthings scattered on the floor,
Finger-marks along the wall
Tell-tale streaks upon the door
BY these presents you shall know
pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play'
And, dozen times day,
In they troop demanding bread
Only buttered bread will do,
And that butter must be spread
Inches thick with sugar, too!
Never vet have said: "No,
Pittypat and Tippytoe."
Sometimes there are griefs to sootho--
Sometimes ruffled brows to smooth;
For-I much regret to say
Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine spat;
F1e on, ne 10 quaTrel So,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
Oh, the thousand worrying things
Every day recurrent brings!
Hands to scrub and hair to brush,
Search for playthings gone amiss,
Many murmuring to hush,
Many little bump to kiss;
Lies indeed a fleeing show,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
Aud when day is at an end,
There are little buds to mend;
Little frocks are strangely torn
Little shoes great holes reveal,
Little hose, but one day worn,
Rudely yawn at toe or heel
Who but you could work such woe,
Pittypat and Tipptoe!
But when comes this thought to me
"Some there are that childless be-"
Stealing to their little beds,
With love cannot speak,
Tenderly stroke their heads,
Fondly kiss each velvet cheek,
God help those who do not know
A PitSypat or Tippytoe!
On the floor, along the hall
Rudely traced upon the wall.
There are proofs in every kind
Of the havoc they have wrought,
And upon my heart you'd find
just such trademarks, if you sought.
Oh, how glad am It's so,.

German readings"
During Mr.. Morison's next visit
Sarah appeared in her aunt's room
with a very anxious expression.
"Aunt Polly" she said, with an
effort at composure, " Mr.. Morison's

don't know what to Say about-I--"

"I suppose you're bent on it any

She lay very still when she was
alone, sometimes with her eyes open,
but generally keeping them closed as
pictures from the past, and visions
of what might be ahead of her, tioated
through her brain, and the peculiar
cruelty Of her brothers will smote
her heart afresh. When she had
been left a widow forty years ago,
Ezra Turner had promptly babe her
stay on in the house which had seen
the happy years of her married life,
and which had been endeared to her
by a hundred different associations ;
when the SORROWS 1t had witnessed
consecrated the place almost as ten

the time she had brought her little
orphan niece Sarah home, Il new in
terest was given her life, yet one in:
separately bound up with the old
mansion. Ezra's will fell like a
thunderbolt upon the old lady and
her niece. Indeed, there was little
| question but that it caused the weak
turn which confined her to her room
and as she lay there now, family con-
scious of the voices from below,
something like q wish never to leave
the old home save for final resting
place brought hot moisture into
her eyes.
