FARM DRAINAGE.
The Only Practical Method of Permanently
Improving Wet Lands.

The Only Practical Method of Permanently
Improving Wet Lands.
Where water after rains stands for q
long time in the burrows and slight de-
pressions in the ground, and on lands
where the shoes of the farmer, except in
periods of drought, are habitually
clogged with sticky mud, and the hoofs
of animals as they sink into the yielding
soil make cavities that maintain their
shape for days, oftentimes holding wa
ter, the necessity for drainage of some
kind is too clearly indicated to admit Of
any doubt. For changing such unfavor-
able conditions, wherever the lay of the
land will permit, open surface drainage
is often resoTted to at first.
While such drains are useful in some
cases III the matter of permanent i'm
provement of the soil they amount to but
little and are liable to be the cause Of
impoverishlnent in the soil itself by car
rying off feTtilizing matter into the gull
lies and streams. Where the surplus
rain that falls upon the ground can be
led off from the surface in the same clear
state in which it descended from the
clouds, the soil receives no injury from
its escape, but it is only under occasional
peculiar conditions that this viii occur
This is so well understood by most
cultivators that other methods have
come into use. One, formerly more com
mon than at present, was to throw the
wet land into high and wide ridges in
the fall and leave it in that condition
until spring. When cultivation is about
to begin these ridges are further widenel
and hattened out, aHording O series OF
rather wide spaces, much better fitted
for cultivation, but with very undesira-
Bile bitches between them, often holding
stagnant water throughout the entire
season. While such practice will not
draw fertility away from the soil, it con-
signs a considerable portion of it to nom
usage and is otherwise Objectionable in
many respects.
The only real and practicable method
of improving wet farm lands by which
their condition is permanently changed
for the better, says the agricultural edi-
tor of the New York World, is by the
use of underground drains, for which tile
is the most common and best material
Where these are placed at proper depths,
say from three to four feet, and at suit
able distances apart, varying greatly ac-
cording to the compactness of the soil to
be drained, and with slight fall to-
ward their outlets, whatever elements
of fertility the surface water may con-
tain viii be strained out within reach of
the roots of plants in its descent toward
the drains. Furthermore, the upper line
of the ground water sinks below the
level of the drains, and the benefit of this
form of drainage is realized by the sou
above them becoming favorably changed
in its general character and earlier and
better fitted for crops.

Not to BE Frightened.

A writer in Blue and Gray says that dur
ing the civil war he once attempted, unsuc-
cessfully, practical joke. Not far from
the picket line was an old cemetery, and
the writer, who was then a corporal, had
been told laughable stories Of the panic into
which some of the men had lately been
thrown.
\ rumor had somehow got abroad that a
headless horseman had been seen in the
neighborhood after dark, One man, it was
reported, had been so frightened rs to hire
Il brave comrade to stand his picket for him.
One night, when the writer was posting
his relief, little before midnight, it came
into his head to try the story on the man
whom he was to leave alone in the dark
ness. He told il with as much solemnity
as ha could muster, but ;he picket was not
to he frightened so easily. He was just
lighting his pipe and replied between his
whtfs:
well (pnff), if there's man (puff) comes
round here (puif) tonight puff without a
head puff, puff, I'll put head on him."
The picket was not disturbed, and the
writer seems to suspect that this was the
origin Of an obscure slang phrase.

Music In an Emergency.

When Josquin de Pres, chapel master to
Louis XII of France, wanted his earnings
increased he did not straightway compose
gigantic symphony, a trilogy or even a
sickly sentimental ballad with an unctuous
refrain-the latter n sure means to good
royalty-but he took the liberty of refresh
ing his masters memory with a finished
but unambitious motel.
Josquin was an ecclesiastic as well as a
musician, and his excellent prince had IL ~
promised him a benefce. This pledge.
however, was forgotten, and Josqun, y
convenienced by the shortness of the kin s
memory, ventured publicly to remind him
Of his word. Being under command to
compose motel for the royal chapel, he
selected part Of the one hundred and nile
teenth psalm for his subject, oh! thin K
upon thy servant as concerning thy word
which words he set 50 exquisitely ard
plaintively that his master took the hint
and bestowed upon him the preferment.
Josquin had keen mind. With much f.
licity he took advantage of the occasion and
composed Il hymn Of gratitude to the wor,s
from the same psalm, 80 Lord, thou Ia t
dealt graciously with thy servaut"-which
it is to be hoped his majesty appreciated.
An inappreciative wag would say that
Josquin might more appropriately have Sc
lected the passage, 80 Lord, thou hast
searched me out and known me,'-Gentle-

The SAINT AND The SINNER.

Heart worn and weary the woman sat
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed pitiful task for such as She
hending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While the bells Of the Sabbath day rang sweet
And the neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played, and the oaby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When, 10, on the threshold stone there slept
A priestly figure and named her name:
What shrift is this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling, and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray7
Woman, why are you toiling hereT'
Like one In dream she answered low.
Father, my days are workdays all;
know no Sabbath. / dare not 20
Where the beautiful bells ring out and can,
For who would look 10 the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the placer
Ipray in silence and try to think,
For Gods love can listen and give mo grace"
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate of rest.
And tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work worn hands to her bosom pressed;
~Oh, saint, thrice blessed, mount thou on highl"
He heard the welcoming angels say,
And meekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day.

RIVAL LOVERS FlGfiI A DUEL.
They Carve Each Other Until Probabl!
Neither Will Recover

They Carve Each Other Until Probably
Neither Will Recover.
PITTsBURG, March 26.-Two Italians
Antonio Lonzo and Louis Lalrigno-
maddened by drink and jealousy, fought
a duel with knives on the streets of
Sharpsburg and both men were so bad
ly injured that there are fears that
neither will recover. The cause of the
trouble was pretty Italian maiden,
who was known and loved by each of
the men. They had been drinking and
met by chance on Clay street. Both
drew their stilettos at the same time
and engaged in deadly combat.
For nearly half hour they fought,
and when finally torn asunder by the
police, they were weak from the loss of
blood. Laurigno has several ugly cuts
on the neck and head, and Lonzo has a
terrible cash in the back.
1t is said that the Italian maiden, who
unconsciously was the cause of the
duel, was standing near by when the
daggers were drawn. She became
alarmed and fled from the scene. She
ran home and, locking herself in her
room, no one has since been able to in
dUce her to come out,
