Hn Cot His Racrace.

The late Sir James Lacalta was quoted
By Archbishop Thomson as the model Of
self possession, and the instance by which
the archbishop illustrated this was highly
amusing. He and Sir James were seated
in the same carriage, leaving Kings s Cross
for the north, when as the train slowly
steamed out of the station the portman-
teau belonging to the latter was observed
left behind on the platform. Without a
moments delay its owner put his head
out Of the window and Shouted Murder"
at the top of his voice, at the same time
gesticulasin9 violently with his arms. Tho
officials managed to get the train stopped
and came hurrying up to the assistance Of
this supposed victim, only TO be met with
the blandest of smiles and politest Of re-
quests to kindly put that portmanteau in
the train. At first they were inclined to
be bit nasty at being thus done;" but
seeing the portly form of the archbishop
tho supposed murderer-oonvulsed with
merrimcnt, they gave way to peals Of In
extinguishable laughter. Tit

Normandy and Brittany are full Of
scenes heartrending to the true lover Of
animals. The author Of France Of To-
day. describes one form Of thoughtless
cruelty which is regularly praoticed in the
Pays de Caux, even by people who are
really kind and well meaning. She says:
To my thinking, the Pays de Caux Is
very depressing. Each homestead stands
amid lines of beech and oak, formal as toy
trees Of a child's mimic garden. The
trees, regularly planted and cut at inter
walls, form aparallelogram affording shelter
TO farmhouse buildings and apple orchards.
You enter this somber inclosure to light
upon an unwonted and heartrending spec
tacle.
In the open space between house and
trees is a pen, perhaps two yards square
This is the lifelong prison Of the trusty
watchdog. Incredible as it may appear,
no one sees any cruelty in thus keeping a
dog cooped within Iron palings from JAM
uary to December. In fact, from its youth
to old age, never for a single moment Is 1t
allowed to escape. My kind host agreed
with me on the unnaturalness Of such
treatment.

The Garden on. the FaEm.

The garden on the farm is the
most important Of all, yet there are
thousands of farmers who do not
have gardens. They deprive them
selves Of Injuries which they cosld
easily grow, and 90 to the country
stores to purchase fruit and vege-
tables that are sent from the cities.
The farmer looks upon the garden
as costly. the work required to pro-
duce the fruits and vegetables being
more than he is willing to bestow,
The strawberries, raspberries, cur
rants, gooseberries, early peas, rad
ishes, kale, asparagus, onions celery
beets, melons and other garden pro-
ducts, which provide variety for
the table, are no inducement to the
farmer who makes wheat, corn. pota-
toes and hay his main crops. There
are farmers, however, who know the
value Of gardens, but the farmers, as
q class produce but limited variety
and are satisfied to either buy or
limit themselves to the same fare in
summer that they subsist upon dur
ing the winter, which is not condu-
Give to health or pleasure.
IMPROVEMENT IN GARDENING.
Garden implements, such as the
hoe, rake, spade and spading fork,
are now being superseded. Seeds
can be sown with small drill, and
the wheel, hoe and hand cultivator
will keep the weeds and grass down.
The proper plan for a garden on the
farm is to grow every thing in long
rows, using the horse hoe for culti-
walton. BY this method there is a
saving of labor, but more space is
required and more manure must be
used than when the area is smaller
and the hand tools used. Seed SOW
ing and covering, which was formerly
very tedious operation, can be quick
ly done with seed drill. 1t is
simply matter of pushing the drill
at a slow walk, and the entire work
of planting a large garden can be
done in a day. The main work is
in plowing the land and narrowing
the soil fine, so as to form a seed
bed fit to receive the finest seeds
and properly cover them.
ADVANTAGE OF THE HOMEGROWN AR
TICLEs
While the farmer may possibly
be able to purchase some vegetables
as cheap as he can produce them,
yet he can never have them as fresh
and wholesome as he can grow them.
There is a difference in the flavor Of
fruit picked ripe and carried to the
table and that picked partially green
and transported long distance to
market. The same may be claimed
of vegetables, both early and late.
When grown on the farm they are
never stale, and a selection can be
made of the best and choicest. The
value of the articles produced in
garden is greater in proportion to
cost than the staple crops, and it
does not pay the farmer to grow
the cheaper articles and pur-
chase the dearest. He should
apply his labor where it will give
HIM the greatest return for the out
lay, and he. cannot do this to better
than to cultivate a well
stocked garden.

Centuries ago The Mosaic Law in
aicted the penalty of forty stripes
save one for the punishment Of Of
tenders. That system has been fol
lowed throughout Europe, amone
the various civilized nations as well
as the barbaric. Corporal punish
ment is to-day the principal method
of enforcing obedience to the rules
and regulations Of the prisons IN
which convicts are confined. II
possesses the advantage, when prop.
erlv inflicted under medical super
vision. Of not injuring the health o.
the criminal to whom it is applied
nor of interfering with his personal
avocations. At the same time, the
infiction Of physical pain is some
thing which the lower class of Grim
inals instinctively dread, from which
they shrink, and which they will
inqly avoid if they can. 1t is an ar
gument which they can appreciate
no matter how illiterate they are, OF
how debased by crime, or how de.
based by crime, or how besotted by
indulgence in liquor. 1t is con
ceded to be efectual when applied
and the result in that respect is best

Representative Grady, Of North Caro-

and great dignity. He is also an ardent
student of history and literature, says
the Washington Post. Not long ago he
walked into the house library, and, ac-
costing one of the young men who are
appointed to wait on members, he re-
quested him to get copy of the book
containing the famous order of Gen.
Dix to shoot any man on the spot who
attempts to haul down the American
flag.
The clerk began to search for the
book, running over shelves of historical
volumes, cropping in dusty corners, and
turning over pages of war histories
that would be likely to contain copy
of the order. Finally, after spending
half an hour in unavailing search, he
said to Mr.. Grady:
II can't find it. There is but one
place where know you can find it."
"Where is that?" asked Grady.
