A Revelation of the Romantic and Re-
markable Career of Lawrence Bangs,
the Famous Yale Athlete.
BY HOWARD FIELDING.
Copyright. 1894.
CHAPTER vIII.-coNr1NuEp.

SPY Jove," he cried, sit would be a
great thing if could get both of you
into shape for the game. We could
play it on Harvard in great shape.
We'd have one of you half killed in
practice just before the Harvard game.
Probably it would have to be you, be-
cause Paddy would be the better man.
Then I'd put you in the hospital and let
everybody know that you were there.
We'd have reliable doctors certificates
to show that you couldn't possibly
play again during the season. There'd
be jubilee in Cambridge and
Harvard money would come out
at odds on. Then, at the last minute,
I'd get you out of the hospital and hide
you, and Paddy could go into the game.
All Harvard would walk back from
Springfield and Yale would have money
to burn after the game. It would beat
the trick we played the first year I
rowed on tho crew. We got an artist
to paint boils on the backs of our
necks, and the papers came out with a
story that we had been poisoned. The
odds on Harvard jumped to three to one;
and then we won the race by about a
quarter of mile. AS matter Of fact
they hadn't been in it from the first of
May to the day of the race"
Lawrence faithfully observed his
brothers directions. He had noticed
that outdoor life and exercise were i'm
proving Paddy's appearance, and he
had Florence's word that the Irish
man was the better looking of the two.
It must not be supposed that he was un-
affected by this criticism or that he was
so much wrapped up in his studies as to
be entirely oblivious to the considera-
ton of his personal appearance. He
decided that little color in the cheeks
would improve him, and so he mounted
to the roof the next day with the antic-
ipation of securing great benefit. It
was very hot in the corner which Harry
had selected for him, but Lawrence
stuck to it all day with the exception
of his hours of recitation. By evening
his face was burned to a blister, and he
had to remain in the house two or
three days until the color moderated to
shade which matched Paddy's.

ercise which Harry had recommended.
He entered into this with an enthus-
iasm which delighted his brother. In
reality Lawrence had conceived a
fierce jealousy of Paddy, and had be-
gun to long to surpass him physically.
He had no love for athletic sports, and
did not, at this time, hope to supplant
Paddy in that line of life. But he
would have liked to be able to take the
young Irishman to remote corner of
some deserted region, and there in
fict upon him a corporal chastisement
which would settle forever the ques-
ton of physical superiority. Probably
his jealousy would never have led him
to such an extreme, but he felt that it
would be a great satisfaction to him to
know that he could do it any time he
desired.
It was about this time that the name
of Larry Bangs began to be conspicu-

ous in the newspapers. His singular
taciturnity on the athletic field had al
ready been noted, and he had come to
be spoken of as the ''Speechless Won

three or four times, ana his views on
baseball-of which, despite his patient
study of full scores. he was profoundly
ignorant-were given ct great length.
Paddy had read these articles and had
expressed the utmost contempt for
them.

Cigars OF Brown Paper.

Paper cigars are one of the most re-
cent forms of adulteration in Germany,
where two manufacturers have bcen
punished for making them. In one
case only the outside leaf consisted OF
tobacco, the rest of the cigar being com.
posed of brown paper previously
stepped in tobacco juice and then dried
In the other case the cigar maker had
actually entered in contract with a
paper manufacturer to make for him q
special kind of brown paper with to-
bacco remnants and paper pulp, the
sheets being afterward cut into stripa
and rolled into the form of cigars.

KEEP THEM RUNNING,

An observing farmer, while in con-
versation with the editor at recent
poultry show, remarked that it was
due to the efforts of his ten-year- old
son that the egg basket was kept heap
ing full by his chickens last summer
and all fall "The little fellow" re-
marked the farmer, ''always paid
great attention to everything he
could read or hear about the keeping
of chickens, and one of the things
which impressed him strongly was the
oft-repeated injunction to keep the
hens at work if you want eggs. Well,
the boy had charge of feeding the
chickens, and he would get heaping
measure of grain and go down to the
barnyard and call his pets. They
would come on the run from all di-
rections, and then the fun began. The
lad would throw couple of handfuls
of grain first in one direction and
then another, scattering it over q
space fully fifty feet square, and much
of it into the grass. The way the hens
would sail around after the grain
would remind you of small riot. and
after they got through feeding the
barnyard would look as if some one
had been over it with small pillow.
We had plenty of eggs to use and sell,
even through moulting time. The
boy has since rugged up henery in
one corner of the barn and keeps his
hens hustling about in hay, chaff and
clover up to the knees hunting for
their grain, and we get more eggs
than any three neighbors combined. :"

A Question Settled.

From our old friend, Geo. w. Brand,
of the Grab Orchard country, says the
Richmond (Mo.) Conservator, we re-.
ceived the following letter, which settles
the question and puts to flight forever
the idea which has always prevailed that
corn grows more rapidly of fnights than it
does in the daytime:
"In conversation with prominent
merchant of Richmond the other day, in
regard to the growth of corn, he
said that scientists claimed that il
would grow faster at night than during
the day, concluded to make practical
test of the matter and give the results to
the readers of the Conservator. The
test was made July 1S, on new ground
second crop, and the growth was two and
a half inches in twelve hours during the
day and only one three-quarters inches
for the same length of time during the
night, making four and quarter inches
in twenty -four hours. The growth for
five days ending July %, was two feet
two and onc-eighth inches, a decided in
crease on the first days growth, which
was doubtless due to the glorious rain in
the meantime

Oldest Church i'm Europe.

Which is the oldest church in Europe!
asks the British Architect. Canon
Routledge, in his History of St Mar
tins Canterbury" claims the distinction
for that venerable edifice. He describes
it as being the only existing church
originally built as church during the
first four centuries that has remained a
church till the present day. St Martins
has a rival in St Mary-in-the-C Castle,
Dover, which Canon Puckle believes to
have been erected in the fourth century !;
but in the days of Queen Anne, and fora
century and half afterwards, this edi-
flee was used as a garrison fuel depot.

IMPROVING PASTURES.

Now there are just two important
points to this matter-first, to make
more grass grow, and, secondly, not
to eat it all up-that is, leave all the
roots of the grass and little of the
top on the ground when you take the
stock off the pasture. To accomplish
the first point have never tried any
method that pleased me better than
sowing buckwheat and seeding down
at the same.
have to-day July 81 just sowed
about eight acres with buckwheat and
seeded same with timothy and clover
so you see 1 practice my own teach
ing. My ground was plowed in the
fall and again in spring after corn
planting, and by repeated harrowings
was kept mellow and free from weeds,
and is now, in spite of the severe
drought, moist, and in good condition
to make seed grow.
The grass seed sowed at this time of
year must be covered to make sue

catch of grass in this way.
If soil is very poor, it would be best
to use a little manure, but it needs
only as thin coat as can be spread
on the ground But if soil is moder-
ately fertile, the thorough tillage OF
this system will make success with.

Some will raise an objection to my
choice of grass, and l would say to
such that | only let any of my pasture

grass two or three years. - Cultivatol

PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDS.

An agricultural contemporary finds
fault because large proportion of the
apple orchards planted either die out
or never yield any profit to their own
ers. This is no doubt true, but if all
the trees planted lived and had good
care the market would be glutted with
fruit all the time and every season,
and no grower could make profit
upon his investments. 1t is much bet
ter as it is, for now the Industrious,
intelligent fruit grower has a chance
of securing something for his labor,
because his competitors are SO few
and scattering. When all mankind
becomes equally intelligent and in
dustrious there will be much less in
centive to labor than at the present
time. New York Sun.

WOman's Two Wishes.

A lady who has had more or less ex-
perience in New York society told a little
story yesterday. "Once there was
Fifth avenue belle, D." she said, "and she
had two great wishes that became the
dream of her life.
"She longed to have slippers thickly
studded with diamonds, and that when
she died Rev. Robert Collyer might
preach her funeral sermon.
"After a while she got her diamond
studded slippers. They were very beau
tiful and worth thousands of dollars. She
was happy
The narrator stopped as that all of
the story" she was asked.
"Oh, no, was the reply. "The belle
died and DR.. Collyer preached her funer-
al sermon. She had all that this world
could give. New York Commercial

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Watch for vermin and rout it at the
first approach.
See that the fowls and chicks have
constant supply of water these days.
Keep ahead of the weeds IN the
onion beds by free use of the wheel
hoe.
SO far this season we have had re-
markably good success with our young
chicks.
Keep the hen houses clean and sweet
Fresh earth bountifully spread under
the roosts is wonderful help towards
the latter.
Try tablespoonful of nitrate soda
to each cabbage plant, scattering it
well around.
Sharp teeth will cause the horse to
form the habit of letting it's tongue
hang out of its mouth. Look out for
them.
Do the flies bother the colts very
much? Better keep them in during
the day and put them out in the pas
ture at night.
Vaccination of the calves against
"blackleg" and of the older cattle
against anthrax is now advocated in
some quarters.
Feed the little chicks what they will
eat up clean. Do it as often as they
will do their part-three, five or even
seven times a day.
If farmers would keep brood mare
or two and raise a choice colt each
year there would be more money in
farming for them.
The shipping of pregnant animals
to the stock yards is not profitable 1t
is unlawful, and the sooner farmers
guard against it, the better for their
purses.
With the good price of beef and
hides it would seem good policy for
the farmer to buy his harness soon
before the inevitable high price OF
leather arrives.
Give the work horses a run in the
pasture at night. 1t will do them a

thirty months of age, one-third ovei

SUCKERS ON CORN.

The practice of pulling off the suck
ers from growing corn is much less
common than it used to be. The
sucker cut while young is not worth
anything as feed, and if left its leaves
gather carbon from the air and make
1t valuable. The origin of the sucker
is an injury to the original plant. If
this occurs early enough The suckers
will have more or less ears. They
also help the ears on the main stalk
to fill when drought occurs, Us the
sucker is always later in blossoming
and will furnish pollen after the BIOS
som on the main stem has dried up. -

On the Carpet.

The familiar saying, "On the Carpet"
which the French render ''sur lie tapis'
ION the table cloth is said to have its
origin from the Oriental legend of Solo
mons carpet.
The Eastern writers say that Solomon
had green silk carpet, on which his
throne was placed when he Travelled.
This carpet was large enough for all his
forces to stand upon; the men and women
stood on his right hand, and the spirits
on his left. When all were arranged in
order, Solomon told the wind where he
wished to go, and the carpet with all its
contents rose in the air and alighted at
the spot indicated. In order to screen
the party from the sun, the birds of the
air with outspread wings formed a can

corn or other hoed crops will be found
to be necessary for the destruction oi
the wild morning glory or bindweed.
Insect enemies are also frequently de-
stroyed by q rotation that interferes
with their natural habits. The same
| is true of diseases which attack crops
when repeated too often upon any soil.
Where wheat, corn and hay are the
cash crops, and period of rest from
the constant production of corn is re.
quired, the following three-feld sys-
tenn is the one that have found to be
best adapted for general farming in
southern Ohio. The constant annual
improvement of the soil under it war
rants its more general adoption. This
rotation involves the keeping of suffi
cient stock to consume and to convert
into manure the crops raised, except
ing of course the surplus of grain,
pork, beef, wool and dairy products
sold off the farm.
After dividing the tillable land into
three fields of equal size, begin the
rotation by seeding field No. l with
wheat. In the spring SOW on this one
bushel of clover seed and eight quarts
of timothy on every eight acres. Avoid
pasturing the clover in the fall and
until the middle of May the following
spring. Where the most timothy APP
pears do not pasture, but cut for hay.
In August haul out the manure from
the barnyard and put in piles 12x12
feet apart; twenty two-horse loads
will be sufficient for each one. Let
this remain piled until the following
spring, when the clover sod on which
the manure has been spread should be
broken up and planted very early to
corn. AS soon as the crop natures,
cut the corn nearly knee high and set
it up in 100-hill shocks. Before drill.
ing in the wheat. harrow in the same
direction the drill is to be run. In
this way labor is economical, and the
high cut stalks when narrowed down
act as a mulch and winter protection
to the wheat plants, and also measur-
ably prevent the washing of the soil
on high points or knolls, which would
otherwise wash badly during the win
ter months By this plan one pillow
ing serves for three crops-one of
corn, one of wheat, and one of clover
and timothy for hay and pasture.
By such a system of rotation farm
ing is made more profitable and pleas
ant For, instead of breaking up
hard, sun dried soil Just after harvest,
as it is isusually done in July or August,
the manure can be hauled out at leisure,
and needed rest can follow the hard
labor of haying and harvesting; vari
Gus needed repairs can be made, the
farm implements put in order and re-
painted, and some opportunity afforded
to visit ones neighbors, meet with
farmers clubs and oranges and com.

ing and cheapening production

SHIPS AS BURIAL PLACES.
A Curious Scandinavian Disposition
of the Dead.

Burial ships have so far been dis
covered to the number of about dozen
in Sweden and Norway. The bodies laid
in them, burned or unburncd, were
equipped with pathetic care. Besides
being elaborately armed and adorned,
they had placed at their disposal means
of employment and diversion, such as
writing tablets, forging tools, whetting
stones, scissors, cooking utensils, chess
men, draughtsmcn and dice. In one Of
nine boats containing as many bodies
disinterred in the churchyard of Wendell
in Uppland, weapons and implements
were associated with the remains of
three horses, three dogs, COW, a pig,
ram, eve and goose Another sheltered
the bones of goose, duck, a falcon,
rock owl and crane.
The inference seems justified that all
these birds were domeSticated. Inside
the ribs of the celebrated Gokstadt ship
some peacoeks' feathers lay scattered
with fragments of gold-embroidered
silken stuff; and the tumulus near
Sandeford from which il was unearthed
in 1880, contained the skeletons of at
least twelve horses and six dogs. But
the treasures of the sepulchral chamber
amidship had long ago fallen prey TO
some of the numerous and nameless
thieves who

Their falchions wrenched from corpses
