THE COUCH IN A COY ROOM.

A Ten-Minute Nap at Times q Wonderful
Narcotic and Restorer.
A room without a couch of some sort
is only half furnished. Life is full of
ups and downs, and all that saves the
sanity of the mentally jaded and phys
ically exhausted fortune-fighter is the
periodical good cry and momentary
loss of consciousness on the upstairs
lounge, or the old sofa in the sitting
room. There are times when so many
of the things that distract us could be
Strengthened out, and the way made
clear if one only had long, comfort
able couch on whose soft bosom he
could throw himself, boots and brains,
stretch his weary frame, unmindful of
tides and tapestry, close his tired eyes,
relax the tension of his muscles, and give
his harassed mind chance. Ten minutes
of this soothing narcotic, when the
head throbs, the soul yearns for end
less, dreamless, eternal rest, would
make the vision clear, the nerves steady,
the heart light. and the star of hope
shine again.
There is no doubt that the longing
to die is mistaken for the need of a nap.
Instead of the immortality of the soul,
business men and working womOh want
regular and systematic doses of DOING
and after q messy bank in the shade

This question is continually appear
Ing and being answered. The ,phos.
phate of lime is carried off in the bony
framework of the animals reared on
the land. A three-year-old OK or COW
takes away about fifty pounds of min
eral matter from little over one acre
in three years. Lime or ground rock
salt will not restore this loss, but will
only act as stimulant to drive out the
little phosphate which remains, and
make the land poorer. 1t is obvious
that the best material to restore fer
tility to exhausted pasture land is
broken bones. applied at the rate of
one hundred pounds per acre for every
two years the land has been pastured.
You may be advised to apply super
phosphate and basic Stag, but both
these are subject to be washed out by
rain The rotting of the bones in the
soil increases the amount of humus by
encouraging earthworms, etc, and
rain will not disso olive and carry it off
The use of cake and other conceu-
trated foods on the pasture will assist
its restoration. Rural World.

A FRUIT DIET.

The Common Sense Rule I'm Matters Per.
taininE to the stomach.
It is all very well to talk about put
ting people on a fruit diet, but this,
like most other ideas, is susceptible of
serious abuse. There are many persons
who can not eat fruit without causing
serious gastric irritation. Oranges DIS
agree with numbers of persons; straw
berries are poison to others. One lady
finds it impossible to eat apple-sauce
without an attack of indigestion; 9TH
ers find all juicy fruits disagreeing
with them; yet others can not eat fruit
that has small seeds. such as raspber-
ries or blackberries. Peaches distress
many people; lettuce has an unpleasant
effect in some instances: and others find
it almost out of the question to make a
meal of any form of fruit or vegetable
exclusively, without the keenest dis
tress.
1t may be said, of course, that this is
not right Granting this to be true,
what is one going to do about it? 1t is
better to use the utmost care in alb
staining from dishes that disagree, even
though to eat them would be strictly
bypienic. In this, as we'll as most of
the other things in life, there is nothing
quite SO valuable as good common
sense. After time, one may gradual
lv grow into the use of such things;
but because rules of health and the adj
vocates of fruit-and-vegetable diet
approve of these things, one must not
imagine that wisdom dictates partak-
ing of food that disagrees with one

REMARKABLE RAINFALL
Phenomenal Showers That Have Fallen
In the United states.

Phenomenal Showers That Have Fallen
In the United states.
We often hear people declare that
during q certain heavy shower Sat least
foot of water fell" Such phenom-
email shower would be impossible. An
acre is equal to 6,272, $40 square inches;
an inch of water over the surface of an
inch would mean 1879 go cubic inches,
which, at the usually estimated rate OF
227 inches to the gallon, means $4,000.
This immense quantity of water would.
weigh 2o0, GOO pounds or exactly 100
tons! Just think of it, and this calcu-
lation is on the basis of only an inch
of rainfall, not foot. Yet many re-
liable (?) men will tell you that they
have seen wooden buckets of 10 and IL
inches in height rained full in less than
an hour. Such declarations are simply
nonsense of the most nonsensical kind.
Throughout most of the United States
the amount of rain which falls in
twenty-four hours rarely exceeds one
inch, which means 100 tons of water to
the acre. There are exceptions to all
rules, of course, and occasionally the
fall is much more remarkable. Thus at
Flatbush, l. l., on the 22d of August,
1S43, nine inches of rain fell in less than
eight hours; at Catskill, N. Y. on July
90, 1919, fifteen inches of water fell in
six hours: at Wilmington, Del, on July
90, 1884, 81 inches fell IN less than two
hours and half, and at Fairfield, O.,
on the 18th day Of August, 1861. eight
inches of water fell in eleven hours
Such phenomenal showers are neces-
sarily quite limited in extent, for If
every particle of moisture were wrung
from the atmosphere it would cover the
entire globe to depth of less than four
a. inches.
The southern slopes of the Himalaya
mountains record as much 61O inches
of rain in single year, but to counter
balance this, Peru. Egypt and parts of
Persia often pass whole years without
rain

AN EAGLE FOS1ER-MoTHER.
The Bird Shows Parental Affection for
Young Geese.

Young Geese.
A resident of Achill island, on the
west coast of Ireland, having succeeded
in capturing a female eagle, placed it in
a cage (rnade. of course, of the strongest
materials in front of his house on an
open lawn. IL due course it laid two
eggs, says Hcrper's Young People, and
these being distracted, two goose eggs
of the common barnyard kind were
substituted. The eagle Matched them,
and when the birds appeared, mani
tested al Z mothers solicitude, feeding
them with portions of the raw meat
provided for her own refreshment.
They wandered at will in and out of the
bars Of the cage all day, always return
ing to sleep under her wings at night;
but If any stray gcsling attempted to
enter with them, it paid for its temer-
ity with its life. One day the mate was
seen lowering round. and finally perched
on the cage. For several days he re-
turned. and having, it. would appear,
used every argument in reason, he
adopted that of force, and by a ire
mendous effort actually broke in the
iron bars of the cage, and, entering it,
seemed indignantly to protest at the
apparent indifference of his mate to her
surroundings; but all he could say did
not seem to have any effect on her real
or apparent apathy, and, leaving her to
the fate she seemed contented with, he
retired to his native cliffs, and never
was seen after to approach the cage.
In due course the imprisoned eagle died.
and was stuffed for her owners
