DRAINING HrLIsTDEs

Drain tiles can be used with profit
IN much hill land. Wet weather
springs are a nuisance and often
considerable loss in a crop when the
water is allowedeto seep through the
soil below them. I have found the ex.
pense Of draining such land light, az
The tiles need not be laid over two feet
deep and need not be large. By con-
Meeting several springs with one drain
the spring water can be cared for with
one pipe, and the surface waters from
rains will run off the land as usual.
1t is not always an easy matter tc
find the vein of water, but it is Of
course always at the upper edge of the
wet spot, and when it is found a stone
catch basin should be made to enable
the water to enter readily. If the
water passes below the end of the tile
without finding it, it may seep through
the sticky clay for rod or more before
entering, and the valve of the drain is
partially lost. It is quite possible that
thorough thing of much hill land is ad.
visable in order to let the air into it,
but as all cannot afford to do this the
suggestion is that these fertile wet
spots be relieved of the spring water
anyway, thus enabling n to cult
vate earlier and to grow a good cror
on the spots that usually are either
bare or produce only a stunted growth

year-old Crown Prince OF Portugal,
who used to bear the title of Prince OF
Beira, but who, since the accession of
his father to the throne, has blossomed
forth into a full-fedged Duke of Bra
ganza, that being the title borne by
the heirs apparent to the throne. The
Order of the Golden Fleece worn by
the six year-old Duke was presented to
him a few weeks ago by his cousin, the
small King of Spain. There is much
in common between the two boys; FOR
while, on the one hand. the throne OF
Spain is considered so shaky that 1t Is
doubted whether it will last until the
termination of the young monarch's
minority. that Of Portugal is even in a
more dangerous condition. Not only
is it threatened by Republican move
ment, which is far stronger in Portu-
gal than in Spain, and by 8 Le3itlmlst
Pretender, q sort Of Portuguese Don
Carlos, in the person OF Don Miguel
of Braganza, but it is even thrtIhened
by perils from within the royal family
itself. Indeed, SO strained is the situ-
alton, and SO strongly divided is the
royal family among itself, that were
King Carlos either to die suddenly or
to abdioate, it is i'ery doubtful whether
the little Duke { Braganza would be
permitted to succeed to his fathers
throne without very serious trouble.
Inasmuch as King Carlos is in very
bad health, SO gquch so that his death
or abdication on the ground Of illness
are subjects of open and constant dis
cussion at Lisbon, it is possible that
the little Duke may at any time be-
| come the subject of an instruction
and even Of civil war. There Is a
large party in Portugal which is strong
ly opposed to the young Queen Marie
Amelie, and who are determined at all
costs to preventher from obtaining the
supremacy in Portuguese affairs which
she would, on the death or abdication
of her husband, enjoy a. Regent dur
ing the long minority of her eldest son.
They are believed to have secured the
support of the Queen Dowager, who IS
on the worst of terms with her daugh-
ter-in-law, Queen Marie Amelie, both
ladies being of the most imperious
character and ambitious for supreme
power. Should the party hostile to
Queen Marie Amelie secure the victory,
they would put forward as successor to
the throne, not the little Duke of Bra
CANA, but the present Kings younger
brother, the Duke ": Oporto, who is
the favorite son Of the Dowager Queen
Pis, and by far the most popular mem
Der of the royal family of Portugal.

Geography Of the Moon.

Sir Robert Ball is reported to have
said in his lecture on the moon that
the geography of our satellite was bet
ter known even than that of the earth.
There was not a single spot on the
moon the size of an ordinary parish IN
England that has not been photo
eraphed and observed. Of course this
remark can only relate to the side OF
the moon which is always turned
towards us. Nearly one-helf of her
surface has never been seen by mortal
eye, and never will be, unless the lunar
globe should be tilted By collision with
a comet or some other cratic body.
Otherwise it is a fact that photography
has done more for the earth's atten-
dant than for itself. It is analogous
to the further fact that the only things
which man can predict with certainty
are not those that happen on the
sphere he inhabits, but the movements
of worlds immensely distant. london

For two years l suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and vas for

physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
wcrn out, and that l would have to

The Rich Sixty Years Ago and Now.

Are the rich, as a class, growing
richer, and are the not rich, as 4 class,
growing poorer? We deny it, and we
affirm, and appeal to the assessment
lists everywhere in support of the Gffir-
nation, that there are more lore
handed men to-day, according to the
population, than there have been since,
the Government was founded. There
are a few, avery few, men who count
their wealth by millions, but it is
doubtful if, with the exception OF per-
haps half u hundred persons, the rich
men of to-day are any richer than the
same percentage of the total were sixty
years ago.. When it was said that John
Jacob Aston v-as worth a million peo-
pie stood in awe, exactly as they do
now when the seventy millions Of Jay
Gould's estate are mentioned. -PLlla~

Largest Price for a Short Story.

The largest sum ever paidfor a short
story was received by Charles Dickens
from Robert Bonner. He paid Mr..
Dickens $4,000 for a story of less
than thirty thousand words and not
even the remarkable success of the
"Pickwick Papers" or the splendid
earnings of Dickens gained by his
series Of readings in America so greatly
astonished that author as did this pay
ment, which he confessed to his friend

Acidity After Eating.

To correct acidity after eating, let a
bit Of magnesia the size of a large pea
dissolve in the mouth and swallow il.
The aeidity has everything to do with
Epoiling complexion and temper. The
face is the index to the condition Of
he internal economy. Lime water
NAV be beneficial for poor digestion,
Or ~lieorice drops, or a third of a tea
spoonful of baking soda in a half q
rlass Of hot water, favored with
f~incture of cinnamon, which is a good
stomachic in itself. These should be
tried to see which suits. It is often
best to alternate these simple remedies
for the same case.-St. Louis Star

Railway speed i'm England.

An eminent English civil engineer
has recently observed that we often
hear of q speed of ninety or 100 miles
being reached by English railway loco
motives, but for twenty-five years he
has ridden upon many engines and
travelled on the fastest trains in Great
Britain for the special purpose of as
certainHtng their speed. Upon a few
occasions, and under favorable circum-
stances, he has recorded the very high
speed Of 1913 miles an hour. but he
states he has never been able to time
an engine or train at as much as eighty
miles an hour.--lron Age.
