Orsini's delivcrcrs hid him among the
reeds Of a murass in the lake and at night
placed him in "a gig covered with straw.
Thus secreted he passed the sentinels and
patrols on the road and left Mantua. The
people about him were PATRIOTS the foes of
Austria, and he was soon taken in relays
of carriages out of Austrian territory.
Many of the patriots of Lombardy exposed
themselves to arrest, claiming to be the
real Orsini
''Their words that l should one day be
useful to my country remain impressed
upon my mind to this day" wrote he aft
erward, 'and to prove my gratitude to the
noble youths of Lombardy and to show
that they We're not wrong when they ut

That resolution it was which brought
Orsini's head to the block He returned
to England, mingled with conspirators and
revolutionists and in 1855 just two years
from the time he was saving the bars Of
his Austrian dungeon, he was placing in
the hands Of his fellow patriots in Paris
bombs which they thought were to be used
in Italy One evening while the emperor
was on the way TO the opera, bomb was
thrown at his carriage which missed the
mark and exploded among the crowd with

was unwittingly betrayed by his servant,
who evidently suspected the conspiracy,
and learning that it had failed and arrests

arrested and questioned he confessed his
suspicious and Orsini's address.
At his trial Orsini said that the fall Of
Rome had convinced him that Napoleon
would not assist Italy, and he said to him
self, THAT man must be killed" Again:

His testimony was mainly directed TO

Hear ye this parable: A man
Did plant a garden. Vine and tree
Alike, in course of time, began
To put forth fair and pleasantly.
The rains of heaven, the persuading sun,
Came down alike on each and every one.
Yet some trees willful grew, and some
Strong vines grew gayly in the sun,
With gaudy leaves, that even come
To naught, and yet each Haunting one
Did flourish on triumphantly and glow
Like sunset clouds in all their moving show.
But, 10! the harvest found them not.
The soul had persisted from them. Mold
And muck and leaf lay there 20 rot,
And furnished nourishment untold
To patient tree and lowly creeping vine
That grew as grew the hus bandman's design.
Hear, then, this lesson; hear and heed:
say that chat shall perish; say
Mans soul is, like unto a seed,
To grow into the judgment day.
1t grows and grows if he will have il grow;
1t perishes if he must have it so.

The following story is told of Rufus
Choate:
He was once called into Maine to defend
a brother lawyer who was under cloud,
and while he was preparing the case he was
taken sick, the party in whose cause he was
acting having to appear before him in his
chamber with his witnesses. One of the
latter was good deacon who was deeply
interested in the case and was very earnest
in deprecating the wrong done his legal
friend.
Well, deacon" said the great lawyer
what do you think Of the the treatment
OF your friend?"
Il think, - was the startling reply, "that
it is a id shamew
THAT is my opinion" said Mr.. Choate,
"but you have given it pious emphasis
which would never have aspired to. -

A rooster flies upon the fence.
Just hear him crow!
His satisfaction is immense,
His self possession is intense.
His lusty lungs give evidence
That this is so.
Another rooster sees him there
And hears him crow.
With Tapping wings he cleayes the air.
The fence Top is too small to share,
And so they fight and scratch and tear
Til down they go.
So tits in life. When any man
Gets eminent,
Some jealous rival tries TO plan
Some way TO down him, if he can,
And If he just upsets the pan
He feels content.

POET AND PEASANT.

4 poet and peasant, side by side,
Together dwelt within the selt-samo town
The poets fame was noted far ana wide,
The peasants not beyond the townships
bound.
Tue poet sang Of love and household joys,
But neither wife nor children made him
glad
The peasant had a WIFE, two girls and boys,
Who with him lived and his small cottage
shared.
The poet mused, "What is this cift Of mine2
lis but dream, a hollow dream OF bliss
would exchange it gladlyat the shrine
OfHymen's altar for ayouns child's kiss
The peasant sighed while at his daily task,
Turning the burrows while he held the
pillow;
"Had l my neighhor's gift would not ask
For higher honors to bedeck my brow
All! such is life, common fate OF ALL
With pain and pleasure ever strangely

The gifts we crave on others lightly fall,
And with our own we never seem content

The Supreme Court of New York has
rendered decision which confirms the
title of the dead to the graves in which
they lie, and, it is hoped, will put Il
stop to the Dissertation of their rest
ing places under the pretense of pub
lie improvement. 1t appears that a
cemetery in Brooklyn had been sold
by the trustees, and one of the lot own
ers sued out an Injunction to have his
rights in the matter settled. The Su-
preme Court held that the owner of n
lot in cemetery held it absolutely in
fee, and that the trustees could not
sell it nor deprive him of it. The
trustees, it seems, got a special act Of
the legislature to enable them to sell
the cemetery, but the Judge said that
the Legislature cannot give them power
to sell what they do not own, and can
give no title to.

Potatoes In suooession.

There are other reasons besides the
danger of propagating the potato disease
why it is not best to plant potatoes two
succeeding years OH the same land. Ex-
plains American Cultivator: The great
necessity for q largo potato crop is an
abundant supply of moisture in the soil.
Nothing SO we'll secures this as clover
ley plowed early enough in spring to
get tho advantage Of late spring rains
1t is true that when clover is allowed
to grow i'll the spring there is great
mass Of green horbage to be plowed un-
der i'll lato ltay OR early June. But tho
moisture th is in tho clover leaves has
all been taken from the soil and much
more, for tho clover plant, with it's
broad leaves, ez!:al@s moisture rapidly,
as any ono who has plowed under a
growth of clover in Juno we'll knows
Even as quickly rs IS hours ;.fter very
heavy rain heavy soil will often become
hard to plow.
When clover is plowed SO late, the
soil often remains dry all tho season if
summer rains are light. Tho same clo-
verfield plowed in early spring will
keep moist all summer. What clover
there is rots quickly, and this keeps the
soil loose, SO that every rainfall sinks
into it instead Of running off. The soil
where potatoes grew tho year before ci-
ther has better vegetable matter OF the
plowing is delayed SO late for it to grow
that much Of its benefit for that year
must bo lost. This may prove to be one
of the drawbacks to tho advantages ex-
pected from sowing crimson clover to
cover the soil i'll winter and be plowed
under in spring for potatoes. There will
be some profit, but it will not be as
great as is commonly supposed.

Potatoes In MICHIGAN.

For southern Michigan either early
planting in April or late planting in
juno is recommended, since potatoes
planted in either Of these months are
moro apt to escape injury from drought
than when planting occurs at interme-
diato dates. For late planting the late
varieties arc preferred at the Michigan
station, where ia SO called varieties
have been tested. Summit was the most
productive variety grown. The list of
tho we'll tried varieties known to be re-
liable is as follows: Very Early-Early

Exhibit of Irrigation Machinery.

The exhibit Of machinery for raising
water made at the irrigation conven-
tion in Hutchinson, Kan, demonstrated
that at least in tho Arkansas bottoms a
big ditch full of water can be provided
without very expensive appliances.
Pumps were there each throwing 4, 900
gallons of water per minute. These wero
each driven by common thrasher's en-
gine. There were also smaller machines
doing proportionateiy heavy work.
There were gasoline engines of several
makes, all doing excellent work in the
operation of pumps. Without doubt tho
use of these engines is to be greatly in
creased, where supply of water is de-
sired, without fail, at the time most
needed, and where tho quantity must be
above the capacity Of the windmill and
below 10 or 15 horsepower. Windmills
were there III great numbers and vari-
ETY., and they received merited attention.
The beginner at irrigation first thinks
OF the wind as the most desirable mo-
tive power, and there is no doubt about
the practicability of irrigating consider
able areas, and especially gardens. by
the use OF wind power.

Amount Of water In Irrigation.

]. w. Sanborn, Utah station, began
in 1890 experiments with grain to as.
certain tho amount Of water to be used
in irrigation. These experiments were
continued in 1898 on wheat and also on
timothy. On the wheat water was ap.
piled at rates sufficient to saturate the
soil to depths Of 4, 81. az, 2, 11a and
three.quarters feet, and OH timothy at
the first five Of these rates. The results
are thus summarized The plants on
soil saturated to the depth Of ~ feet
gave better crop Of grain than those
on soil receiving greater or less
amount of water. For timothy the plats
saturated az feet deep gave the best
results. Where water applied is small
in amount the temperature grows higher
OH decreasing amounts Water applied
to gravelly soils appears to evaporate
