stretching it's tiny arms over the edge
Of the box.
Frank turned his boat alongside and
snatched out the child and pulled for
the nearest signal fire. His strength
was SO nearly gone that he almost
despaired Of reaching it, but the pitiful
cries of the child aroused him to a last
effort. He reached the shore to find
the signal fire, deserted. By slow de-
grees he drew the Peerless ashore, over
turned her and propped her UP Indian

the child, crawled beneath her. In the

A Gingerbread Barometer.

A clever Frenchman who has original
ideas on most subjects employs a Kind
of barometer which may safely be
called unique. 1t is nothing more nor
less than the figure of general made
of gingerbread. He buys it every year
at the Place du Trone, takes it home,
and hangs it by string ON nail.
Gingerbread, as everyone knows, is
easily affected by changes in the at
mosphere. The slightest moisture rem
ders it soft; in dry weather. on the con-
trary, it grows hard and tough.
Every morning, on going out, tho
Frenchman asks his servant: What
does the general say?" and the man APP
plies his thumb to the gingerbread
figure.
Sometimes he replies: THE general
feels fiabby about the chest; he would
advise your taking an umbrella" On
the other hand, when the generals
symptoms are ''hard and unyielding,'
the Frenchman sallies forth arrayed in
his best, with no fears for his spotless
suit or his new hat. He says the gem
eral has so far never proved unworthy
of the confidence placed in his prognos-
tications.- Youths Companion.

SMOOTHING HARRoWS.
How to Make One Out of Comm,
Square or Scotch Harrow.


How to Make One Out of Common
Square Scotch Harrow.
In answer to an inquirer, we may
state that there is one way in which a
common square or Scotch harrow may
be changed to smoothing harrow, or
to one possessing the principal advan-
tages of slant-tooth implement. The
common square vertical teeth must be
first removed, and in the spaces between
the teeth bore holes for the new teeth
having an inclination of about forty de-
grees from the vertical. There may be
nearly the same number of teeth as be-
fore, or there may be two of the new
slant teeth for each one of the old ones.
Take, for instance, the square Scotch
harrow represented in the accompany

tention she may require. and she re-
mains there until her lamb about a
week old, or, in other words, old
enough to rough it, and take all the
milk the dam will have. Then she and
her lamb are placed with others of
about the same age, and the ewes are
given their first grain ration, which is
increased in quantity, and gradually
they get ensilage, to which are added
bran, corncob meal and linseed meal.
Oats are too costly with us, other
wise should mix them with
other grains. The above mixture
is fed twice day with as much clover
hay as they can eat, SO as to produce as
much and as rich milk as the lambs
will drink. The little lambs are taught
to eat Ia side diet) as early as possible,
and nothing gives me so much pleasure
as to see 10 to 20 of them in a row eat
ing mixture of good ensilage, with
crushed oats, bran, corn-and-cob meal
and linseed cake and the best pickings
of clover hay, and ! am not surprised in
the least at picking out a pair of 90-day-
old twins that weigh $50 pounds. 1t is
great fun for my boys to pick out the
lambs, and weigh them once month,
and often twice, and it is one of the
ways to encourage them to give the
youngsters the best of attention.
! used to be a great loser of lambs
from two to four months old; but we
have overcome mishaps of that sort by
giving them GOOD clover hay before
their grain ration, and then exercise,
salt, water, etc. AS to the quantity
give them, my idea of feeding lambs is
the same as with regard to milking and
sucking ewes, and that is, to give them
all they will eat, but at the same time l
want them to lick the corners of their
hangers clean, and when it gets near
feeding time that they are all wide
awake for the next meal. Rations orr
paper are good in some respects, but
judicious Judgment in feeding is more
essential. IT. S. Cooper, in Rural New

two slant teeth between the former
teeth, which will give sixty-four slant
teeth. The frame should be of the
strongest wood, so as to be light; the
teeth should be of steel, and they may
be of round rods five-eighths or three
fourths of an inch in diameter if in
tended to cultivate corn broadcast, or
they may be square If mainly for
pulverizing plowed soil. A less efficient
harrow would be one with only one
slant tooth between the former ones,
or thirty-two in all. The advantages
which the changed harrow would have
over the old one would be i'll passing
over the hills of corn but not tearing up
the plants; in pulverizing the crust in
sowed fields of grain; in pulverizing
spread manure; mellowing inverted
sod; in narrowing orchards without
tearing the roots, and giving slant

For time It seemed = thsaeh tbe
boat would either capsize o. BE- carried
miles down the river, but BY heroic
struggle he ct last pulled into compar-
stively calm water. Repeated answers
to their calls brought them TO treetop
in which man was clipging. It was
Mr.. Miller. Their experience. TO which
Frank listened as he pulled for the
nearest signal fire, was as follows:
Rufe had gone in the morning to
visit cousins on the uplands and was nm
donbtedly safe. The valley at their
house was SO narrow that when once
the creek had overfowed its banks the
water rose with terrible rapidity. The
father, mother and youngest boy
jumped into the democrat wagon and
the older lad, twelve years old, mounted
his pony and rode behind. As the
fields between them and town were
lined with barb-wire fences, they were
obliged to follow the road, which led
half mile up stream before turning
towards the bluffs. They had gone but
few rods when they saw wave
sweeping down upon them. The lad on
the pony instantly threw off his coat.
This rare presence Of mind saved his
life, for the waves swept the pony from
under him and it was only by fierce
struggle that he gained the wagon. The
father managed to turn the team about
and regain the house. E'om the upper
windows they watched the awful rise
Of the waters. In q few minutes the
house had foated free from its founda-
tions. The father swan outside, much
Of the time, to see that it was not going
to wreck upon obstacles. After dark
he could not do this, but when it
lodged against an immense pile of drift
wood he clambered out upon that. The
house suddenly disappeared in the
darkness and he was left on the drift.
Again the house lodged. The desperate
mother and the two boys clambered out
into the strong branches Of the tree
with which they had collided. They
were scarcely settled against its trunk,
when the roof of the house fell in. The
house dislodged and moved on. A large
log next charged its butt against the
tree. What If it should form the nucleus
for collection of driftwood that should
break the tree? She placed her foot
against the log and persistently worked
it loose. Then she discovered that the
boys were nodding. Their forces were
exhausted and they were falling asleep,
to drop into the dark food below theml
When threats would no longer keep
them awake the courageous mother
broke switch from the tree and with
it whipped them into wakefulness.
Then she fancied that she could hear
her husband calling. What wonder
that she tainted when Frank took her
into the Peerless!
He had hoped to find men at the sig
nal fire who would take the Peerless
and continue the work of rescuing, but
he did not. Although his strength
was well-nigh exhausted, he left the
Millers in the care of the hospitable
women whom they found on the shore
and turned to cross to the other shore.
He found the pull through the cur
rent almost as difficult as before and
had scarcely completed it when he saw
