seventy-nine years has peeped over
the fertilization OF the castle OF
Santa Cruz In the Azores. The gun
was originally part Of the ornament
Of the French battleshlp Hoche,
which was captured by British
squadron in 1898, John B. Murray,
a New-Yorker, bought Long Tom"
with other guns and sold them to the
United States Government, but
"Long Tom" wasrejected on account Of
an lndention near Its muzzle, caused
by a solid shot. Mr.. Murray bored
the dent out and placed 1t on YES
sell which did service against French
privateers in behalf of Hayti
When the United States got into
trouble with England In 1912, "Tom"
was placed amidships on the brigan-
tine Gen. Armstrong, 246 tons, Capt.
Samuel G. Reid, commander, The
Armstrong put into Herta, In the
Island of Hawai-, for water Sept. 20,
1914, just as a British feet hove into
sight on its way to Jamaica. 1t at
tackled the brlgantine, but the Ameri-
cans would not surrender and after
their vessel was disabled sought the
shore, carrying "Long Tom" with
them, where the gun did terrible
work. The British lost 300 dead and
wounded; the Americans less than
ten. The British fleet was delayed
so long at Fayal that 1t failed to
reach Louisiana, and Gen, Jackson
was able to win his famous victory,
"Long Tom" had lain dlsmantled in
Fayal for nearly quarter Of a CEN
fury when President Harrison In
duced Portugal to transfer the gun
to this Government.

Charles T. Russell, of Allegheny,
Pa, announces that the millennium
will surely arrive in October Of 1914.
We are now In the "lapping time,
between the hay Of the gospel and
the grass of the millennium era.
This "lapping time" began in Octo-
Der of 1874, and will last forty years.
During this period the Kingdoms Of
the world will be overthrow by the
anarchists, nihilists, socialists, and
natlonallsts. At the same time the
Hebrews will all be In Palestine.

A German Fiddler Who Was Determined
to See the Great Napoleon.

to See the Great Napoleon.
Wonderful as are the parts which
modern reporter will play, in order
that newspaper readers may crafty
their curiosity, he never, according
to Household, did anything holder
than the part a German viollnist
played to crafty his personal curiOsi'
ty. In 1908 Napoleon held, at Erfurt
the congress Of princes. In the even,
ings the emperor amused his guests
with music and a drama played by a
French troupe brought from Paris.
Spohi, the violinist, was intensely
curious to see this assemblage OF
royalties, and betook himself to
Erfurt, thinking he might wrlggle
himself into some corner Of the
house. He discovered, however, that
the public were excluded, blue blood
alone being allowed to enter. The
fact that the whole house was re-
served for sOvereigns and their suites
would have discouraged less de.
termined man. But Spohi was per.
sistent. Having a friend who was
second horn player in the orchestra
he persuaded him to feign illness and
to ask the bandmaster to allow his
friend, the viollnist, to take his
place.
The request was granted, and Spohi
set himself to work to acquire his
friends part. On taking up the
horn he discovered that he had set
himself a difficult task. 1t took him
day and a half to produce tho
simple notes. On the evening Of the
performance the muscles Of his face
were strained and stiff, his lips
swollen and back, and he could hard
ly get through his part, which FORUM
ately was not very elaborate. One
thought cheered Spohi as he took his
seat in the orchestra, he would enjoy
a fine view of the princes, and espe-
cially of Napoleon, who was to sit In
the center stall Of the first row. But
to his dismay he learned that the
emperor had issued a formal order
directing the musicians to play with
their backs to the audience, and
under no circumstances to turn their
heads. The violinist was equal to
the emergency. Pulling out a pocket
mirror, he placed it before him in
a proper position, and thus obtained
an excellent view of the audience Of
soyereigns.

There are certain points or aw
tharAgovern the rights of farmers
that should be known to be used as a
guard against personal liability as
we'll as to protect against an infringe
ment of rights. The question of
right to fruit growing upon branches
of a tree standing upon land of one
and overhanglng land of another is
liable to arise 1t is settled prin-
ciple of law that where tree grows
near a boundary line and the roots
extend upon the land of another and
derive nourishment from such land,
even though the branches extend
oyer the line overhanging a neigh
boris land, the enUlre tree Is the prop
erty of him on whose land it stands,
together with all the fruit growing
thereon, and it has been decided by
the courts of Vermont Connecticut
and New York, that any attempt to
prevent the reaching over and pick
ing such fruit on the part of such
neighbor makes an actionable case Of
assault and battery In a case in
New York where the daughter Of the
owner of cherry tree stood upon the
division fence and attempted to pick
fruit from a limb overhanging a
neighbours land and on being forbidden
by such neighbor persisted, the neigh
Dor in attempting to prevent used
force, but did no personal injury On
an action the court awarded, and
the neighbor was obliged to pay
$1,000. Regarding the right to enter
upon the land of a neighbor to secure
fruit fallen from overhanging
branches the law does not seem to be
fully settled although decisions in
Massachusetts and Vermont seem to
imply that such a right existed If it
could be executed without injury to
the neighbor. These points are
probably hut family understood by
average farmers. We judge so for
the reason that we heard Of case
where the fruit from overhanging
branches was all picked by means OF
a ladder. No trouble grew out OF
the case although the two owners
were at variance, but it is quite clear
that the fruit being the property of
the owner of the tree, the taking of
it by another made clear case Of
theft. -Germantown Telegraph.

pneumntIc Tountaln for Poultry.

One of the best troughs for supply
ing fowls with drinking water is
made of an empty five-gallon kero-
sene can as shown in the illustration
from the American Agriculturlst. A
hole two and one-half inches square
is cut near the bottom as in Fig. l.
Next cut an empty tin can in two,
and about three inches deep as in
Fig. 2, and bend the edges in at right
angles. With a soldering iron, solder
this section of can to the tlve-gallon
tin opposite the hole at Fig. !, so
that when the section is fixed on, the
hole will be one-half inch lower than
the top rim of Fig. 2. The two put
together are seen at Fig 3. The re-

Half-sllls for Barn Easements.

In the construction of barn base
ments, walls of stone are dispensed

posts If these are framed into the

ner, they are greatly weakened by
the cutting away Of so much timber

suit is that chickens cannot tramp
through and soil the water Five
gallons will hold enough for a large
flock of fowls, and the drinking pan
fills as quickly as they drink from it,
and by throwing a sack over the foun-
tain it will keep cool in hot weather,
which would be a great advantage in
warm climates. 1t is easily moved
from place to place, and is far prefer
able to open dishes which get so hot
in the sun. There must be no holes
in the kerosene can, except the one
below, or else the water would all
rush out and for the same reason the
one hole must be trife lower than
the top of the tin they drink from.
The inventor has found it to act very
well, and sends this description,
trusting that other poultry lovers will
find the continuance satisfactory.

Common sense In Farming.

There is much talk these days about
educating the farmer The right
kind Of an education is highly bene-
fetal, but the farmer wants common
sense and eyes which will see. II he
cannot learn by observation and ex-
perience then a collegiate education
would be useless. If young man
wants to educate himself to be a
farmer he must take off his nice
clothes, and roll up his shirt sleeves,
and go to work in earnest He
must learn by experience from books

MANNER OF APPLYING HALF-sILLs.

shown in the engraving, the main

short sill may be of sawed stuff, and
for common barn should not be less

spiked. II the whole building is
raised when empty, and false sill
