Much annoyance IL frequently Occa-
stoned BY persons getting keys Tor the
purpose OF viewing upoccupied houses
and failing 10 return them, In this
connection may mention an incident
that happened a year or two ago.
A Yep-dFessed gentleman called At

over IT, He neglected to return the key,
however, and the house was subse-

twelve months atterward, while repair

rooms had to be removed. when q guam
tity OF watches, rings, and other iewelry
was found concealed under the jolsts.
These proved TO be the proceeds Of q
burglary at jewelers. premises. The
man who had got the key to the house
was known to the police as notorious
burglar, and at the time had been susl
pected OF the robbery, but was allowed
to escape from want OF sufficient evil

Shortly after this he was arrested for

years. penal servitude. His sentence

remains In ignorance OF the fresh
charge that will await him on his release.

Captain Eastwick. among tho many
"reminiscences OF his seafaring life, re-
calls an instance IL which sudden
squall was the means OF delivering his
ship from what looked like inevitable
loss. He was In the Indian Ocean, In
time OF war, and was chased by two
French frigates. They kept after him
till nightfall, and then were so near
that they still kept him in sight, not
withstanding all his maneuvers TO es-
cape. At daylight he gave up hope.
The wind had dropped. and a gun was
nred across his lows as a hint for him
TO haul down his colors.
My chief mate, an excellent seaman,
had been gazing at the horizon, and
now remarked: II iwish that squall
would come on" and asked II he might
hoist the top-mast steering sail.
must confess that. In my anxiety,
had not noticed. as should have done,
the particular look In the sky, which
now became apparent with the break
ing OF the day, and Indicated wind:
but, my attention being thus drawn 70
1t, l. saw at once that there was a
squall gathering. and that, II 1t only
headed our way, we might escape.
at once complied with the chief
mates request. and, while the crew
were engaged In carrying 1t out, the
squat rushed right upon US with the
swiftness SO common IN those lati-
tudes, and. in moment, we were en-
ysloped In thick atmosphere, with
binding rain. '-'s'o''
And now determined upon a
maneuvre which would, felt certain,
save us II could carry II out. Know
Ing that the squall must have struck
the French frlgates at the same time IL
did US. and, feeling sure that they
would run before 1t, ordered the helm
to be put hard down, and steered dis
rectly for the quarter where I'VE had
last seen them, keeping the wind full
on the beam, although, the force Of lit
sent US heeling bulwarks under. 70 9-rl
My officers became alarmed for the
masts, but knew them to be good.
while the sails were old. I. therefore,
carried on at all risks. and, by
tho course l steered, must have passed
astern OF the frigates at very shert
distance, yet entirely hidden from their
sight by the thickness OF the atmos-
phere.
1t was impossible to predict how long
the squall would last. II 1t blew over
soon 1t might leave us still in sight of
the Frenchmen. who, with the whole
day before them. would certainly capt
ture US. therefore determined to
make the most of 1t while it held out,
and carried on without taking in
single sail. f le3 49,
1t was an exciting time. The En-
deavor, which had never before made
more than nine knots an hour, was now
going upward of twelve, while I stood
on the weather side of the poop, my
eyes fixed on the straining masts, from
which saw sail after sail blown away.
The squall lasted four hours. When
1t was over we had lost most Of our
sails and two of our boats, but the
French frigates were nowhere to be
seen.

No manure of any heating kind
should be applied to pear trees before
August, and September would be
still better. Neither should there
be any moro stirring of the soil under
pear trees than is necessary to keep
down weeds. A too vigorous summer
growth for which the tree is not pre-
pared is ofton the cause of blight
Manure applied in fall or winter is
mixed with the soil, and the tree
gets part Of it all through the season,
so that at no time is the tree filed
with unexpected supplies OF sap that
are larger than it can dispose of,

Making Barb wire visible

II you have q lot of barb-wlre fence

scraps OF tin or some other substance
to the wires to prevent the animals
from running against it without see
ing 1t. One writer speaking of his
success in this regard, saws: 1.-THE
pieces were the trimmings left when
cutting the bottoms of butter pals.
1t takes little time to attach them to
the top wire of a large sfield--one to
the yard. believe the tin will give
better satisfaction than boards, as
the latter are apt TO warp loose or be
pushed off by stock unless there is a
center post to each length. If the
scrap is not handy, probably two or
three pieces to the rod would suffice"

Money for the wife.

The Montreal Witness, in discuss
ing the subject of the use of profits OF
any other money by man and wife,
says among other sensible things:
II never have cents even fol-
postage stamps, without asking for IL.
1.-THE speaker was a young wife, who
In her girIhood earned regular wages
as a seamstress, and when married
found her financial position changed.
Eben held the purse strings and made
plenty of money. But new machin-
cry was often needed; Improvements
must be made; hired hands cost a
good deal, and so no allowance was
thought of for the wife, who had the
position of nurse, seamstress, house
maid, cook" with the added duties
Of motherhood.
81 always have a lhmp'in my throat

1t was sad contrast, the little

world Of trickery and knayery.
Nowhere is the lack of rocket
money felt so much as among farm
ers' wives and daughters. Many OF
them go from positions in the city,
teachers, typewriters, saleswomen,
with regular salary good cook
can earn her $l4 a month. She may
marry a young farmer and with all
her life before her, decide To be his
helpmeet and money saver. How
they work and struggle to pay of the
farm, to get the necessary improve
ment made! But when the fight Is
partly over, sometimes the young
wife has feeling of envy on Satur-
day nights when her husband pays
the ''hands" who have worked for
him, and has not dollar for her; for
she knows they have been fed while
she has served; that they have slept
while she lost hours OF slumber with
the precious babe in arms and that
they can buy clothes that she would
feel it extravagant to wear.

CleanlIness in NIIlkInr.

Live stock Notes.

BY keeping different kinds of stock
the pastures will not become patchy.
ARE your stables arranged that the
horses could be rescued easily in case
of fire?
CLEAR the barnyard we'll of stones
and sticks before you turn the horses
out for romp.
A MAN who does not take good care
of horse should not have the pleas
ure OF owning one.
MANY farmers wear out fifty dollars
worth of horse flesh trying to save
buying ten-dollar pillow.
BREED the hest to the best and you
can count on something for your
trouble. Otherwise you take great
risks
So LONG as there is good pasturage
IL is rarely an economical plan to con-
fine the hogs in "a close pen, even
when fattening for market.
CORN FODDER, put in shocks and left
in the field during good part OF the
fall and winter, loses from one-third
to one-half of its feeding value
So FAR at least as the work is con-
cerned, IL Is just as easy to convert
the food products into a flrst-class
quality OF beef as second grade.
THE draft horse that has the happy
faculty OF putting his whole weight
against his collar when occasion re-
auires is the one that is valuable on
the farm.
Hoes, especially IL fat, suffer
severely from the heat and of course
cannot thrive we'll, hence care should
be taken to keep them as comfortable
as possible.
1T seems poor economy to feed, fat
ten and sell hogs in the fall and then
buy meat to eat during the next
spring and summer, yet this Is just
what many farmers do.
