"say Your Nasty Little pr.yer.,.

Mr.. Sala, in his journal, relates the
following experience Of Mr.. William
Black, the novelist: When at work
Mr.. Black loves intense quiet, and can
not bear the slightest noise. For this
reason he always selects a room at the
top of the house as his study. At one
time 1t was his misfortune to live in
what he describes as a jerry built
house, and while endeavoring to work
in the early hours of the morning, as is
custom, he tells of one amusing incon-
venience that he was called upon daily
to put up with.
The nursery of his next-door neigh
Dor was in line with his study, and
in this q somewhat numerous family
were located. Every morning, as reg
ular as clockwork, Mr.. Black could
hear the elder sister call out, "Now,
then, you horrid little things, kneel
down and say your nasty little
prayers" A profound silence would
follow; but the interval was brief
one. Then came rush and clatter,
and the shrill voices of the children
were heard exclaiming, "We have said
our prayers; we have said our prayersr'

Newspaper Printing by Electricity.
The proprietors of the Birmingham
Daily Gazette have just introduced
electricity to new sphere OF useful
ness by employing II as motive power
for driving their large printing ma
chimes. The Gazette is absolutely the

been produced by that form of power,
which bids fair to revolutionize the

The motors are exceedingly neat and
compact, and they are controlled with
perfect ease by few conveniently

power is available by day and night,
and the two machines, each capable OF
producing 10000 copies of the Gazette,

at any moment. This is an important
consideration, more particularly in the
facilities it affords for immediate
work, as there is no pecuniary expen'

uniform power of speed of the ma

There Is no mere treacherous
animal in the world than bull. How
ever peaceable inclined he may seem
to be, 1t is never safe to trust his good
intentions, for he is apt to lbreak out
in them most unexpected manner. Even
a hornless bull has been known to
knock down and trample his unsus-
pecting owner. The only sale way is
to make It impossible for him to at
tack any one. For this reason he
should never be set at large In an
open field. But bull needs fresh air
and exercise. Keeping him shut up
In . stall all the time renders him
more savage &C he grows older; and

Harvesting and Curing Onions.
A writer in the Orange Judd Far.
mer gives some good hints on har-
vesting onions. He says: A long
period OF rainy weather will injure
the bulb for the market, If left un.
pulled. At maturity the tops fall
over and begin to waste away; 20
when the majority of the tops are
dying down, the time has come for
pulling. They should be left upon the
ground Tor some time to cure, and for
this it is very desirable to have dry
weather. II rain comes they should
be raked over carefully with a lawn
rake. A week or more OF dry weather
is necessary for curing. Then, on an
afternoon OF dry day, gather the
crop and dry them inside, storing
them in open sheds, lofts, on the
barn floor, or in any dry, airy place
whore the onions can be spread out
thinly. There they may be left until
perfectly cured. Where business is
made OF onion growing for market, a
shed suitable for storing them should
be built; varying in dimensions &C
cording. to the needs OF the grower.

SELECTING seed Corn:

Now that the season has arrived
when the crop OF corn is being har-
vested, says a writer IN the Ohio
offer few suggestions in regard to
the selection OF seed corn. Many
good farmers select the seed for next
years corn crop in the fall. All farm.
ers should do 30 but too many are
thoughtless or perhaps careless con.
corning this matter and when plant.
ing time comes they 60 to the crib for
their seed corn.
This season, owing to the wet
weather, much corn was planted very
late and the probabilities are that
should there be severe cold weather
early in the winter, it will be found,
when too late, that a large per cent
of the corn in the crib will fail to ger
inmate. This being true, all corn.
growers should see that they secure
an abundant supply OF seed corn be-
fore freezing weather and store the
same in a dry room where the temper
allure will not fall much below the
freezing point during the severest
weather.
Many writer's advocate the gather
ing OF seed corn from the earliest
ripening stalks, on the theory
that the corn will be earlier.
Be this as it may, the best seed corn
cannot be secured in this way. The
proper time, and the only proper
time to select corn for seed corn is
when tho corn is husked. Let the
husker keep all the best ears separate
from the balance of the corn when
husking the shock. Then when haul
ing in. fasten @ box that will hold a
bushel or two somewhere about the
wagon, in which my be placed the
select corn. When taken to the crib
the box should be emptied and
after more critical examine
ton the very best ears are
secured for seed. This method
causes but very little trouble and
you are sure that your seed corn will
grow when planting time comes. /
think many times that corn thus Sc
lected makes more vigorous start
and is less liable to rot after planting
than corn taken from the crib. Furth-
ermore, by careful selection of seed
II requires but few years to estab-
fish your own ideal corn, and you may
never fear that your corn will run
out" but on the contrary will be more
inclined to run i'm and your less
careful neighbors will buy their seed
from you.

Tools Of the Pyram,d Rn,,d.r,

A two years study at Gizeh has con-
WINGED Mr.. Flinders Petrie that the
Egyptian stoneworkers of 1000 wears
ago had surprising acquaintance with
what had been considered modern
tools. Among the many tools used by
the pyramid builders were both solid
and tubular drills and straight and
circular saws. The drills, like those of
to-day, were set with jewels probably
corundum, as the diamond was very
scarce), and even lathe tools had such
cutting edges. So remarkable was the
quality of the tubular drills and the
skill of the workmen that the cutting
marks in hard granite give no indica-
ton of wear of the tool, while q cut of
a tenth of an inch was made in the
hardest rock at each revolution, and
hole through both the hardest and
softest material was bored perfectly
smooth and uniform throughout. OF
the material and method of making the
tools nothing Is known.

There are no further reports from
the cyclones path, but the loss of
life is now reliably placed at twenty.
The Chicago and other eastern papers
contained some wonderful eXaggera-
tions of the facts, evidently done by
their correspondents at St. Paul.
They evidently took the accounts
from the scene of the disaster and
deliberately magnified each particu-
lar. They had the village of Sher-
,burne wiped out, large loss of life on
railroad train blown from the
track, and where the reports stated
that buildings had been blown down
they added that people had been
killed. The correspondent to the
twin city papers had fairly accurate
reports, considering the difficulty of
getting at the facts, but as the &C
count was sent out of St. Paul to the
eastern press it was exaggerated out
of all resemblance to the original re-
ports.

Suggestion for a Summer Trip.


If you wish to take the trip of a
lifetime, purchase the low rate eX-
cursion tickets sold by all principal
lines in the United States and Canada
via the Northen Pacific Railroad to
Yellowstone Park, Pacific coast and
Alaska.
The trip is made with the highest
degree of comfort in the elegant vesti-
buled trains of the Northern Pacific
Railroad
The scenery en- route is the most
magnificent to be found in the seven
states through which the road passes.
The browning glory of the trip
through the Northwest, however, is
the visit to Yellowstone Park, the
land of hot springs, geysers and gor-
geous canons, and to Alaska with its
endless ocean channels, snOwcapped
peaks, Indian villages and giant gla-
ciers.

gestion further send to Charles S. Fee,
