CHllp,s Will POWER.
Remarkable Manifestation In Three
Year-Old YoungHter.


Baby Rae had always beeu very nerv.
Gus, so nervous that on several occa'
sions, while he was getting his teeth,
he frightened his parents by going into
convulsions, and frequently when cry
ing lost his breath so far as to lose con-
sciousness altogether. Consequently
we were obliged to humor him more or
less to prevent his crying.
At very early age he found his
thumb, and until the day of which 1
write his chief comfort lay in Sucking
that unoffending member. He could
not go to sleep at night without having
his thumb in his mouth. AS he grew
older we tried to break him of the
habit, but it made him so very un-
happy that we could not bear to insist,
BY the age of three Rae had lost all
signs of spasms. He had always been
mothers darling" although he was
my fifth boy. At the time write of
the arrival of a wee sister had awakened
some sense of jealousy, and also, sup
pose, made him feel an increase of dig
nifty, as he was no longer the baby of
the family.
One morning the "big carpenter"
was in the nursery repairing the hinge
of shutter. Rae stood with a hand
kerchief carefully wrapped around his
second finger, sucking his thumb as
usual, and looking with wistful eyes
at the tempting display of hammer,
awl and screwdriver thai lay on a cloth
near the window. For moment the
thumb was taken from his mouth, and
the baby boy said very distinctly, as
he always spoke: 81 want to be a car
penter," and instantly the thumb was
replaced in its accustomed receptacle.
Carpenters don't suck their thumbs,
remarked the big man,
For moment Rae looked at him,
then he slowly put lis two little hands
behind his back and held them tight
His grandmother noticed 4,he action
and, taking advantage of the occasion
promised to give Rae tool chest all
his own if he would neve- suck his
thumb again. The child was very quiet
and thoughtful al day. Occasionally
he would jerk his thumb out of his
mouth and hold his right hand tight
with his left, as if determined not to
forget again that he was to be a car.
penter. At bed time lie carefully put
his hands under his pillow. He was
very restless; he could not go to sleep;
he was fretful. too, a.d his nurse sat
near his crib singing to him. Presently
little hand came between the bars
and n baby voice said: You hold it
Eliza; l can't remember" 1t was mid
night before he went to sleep that night
and the next, but he never put his
thumb into his mouth again. He
earned his little chest of tools if ever
a reward was won, and q happier little
boy was never seen.
Rae is eight years old now, fine
manly boy, always most thoughtful Of
others. lie is frll of life and spirits
His nervousness has almost entirely
disappeared. He often shows the sam,
earnestness OF purpose that he dis
played so young. We teel strongly th'

Gus leak? One might just as well throw
SO much money i'll the fire. Attention
is called to this matter now because
it is the most suitable time to get few
logs out of the woods and have them
manufactured into suitable lumber for
a shed. In such case all the cash shed
would cost would be the price of few
nails and the saving bill. Ordinary
dairymen have dread of contracting
any unnecessary expense. A shed is
looked upon as involving more expendi-
ture to construct than is necessary. A
man having "a cows and no shed re-
fused to subscribe for farm paper be-
cause he "could not afford it," 1t is
hoped this will set some such manure
wasters to thinking.
Persons who have not been on tours
of observation through dairy sections
can have but faint idea of how ex-
tensive the waste is in this respect.
1t amounts to many millions of dol
lars annually in the state of New York
alone. Probably one-half of the dairy
men would plead guilty to this indict-
ment. But there are many honorable
exceptions. Some keep their manure
under shed cover, and the more ahSe
have their COW barns so constructed
that they can drive a team through
behind two rows of cows. A vehicle
is kept standing in the stable, and
when a load is obtained it is driven

to the field and spread. This is the
most sensible way. When the coun-
try WAS new the soil filled with
sweet native grasses and the butter
made had delicious flavor. BY the
lax system of dairying the soil gradual
ly became depleted of fertility, the
tame grasses slowly went out and
weeds and coarse grasses came in. The
butter made now is not of as good quail
ty as formerly. A few of the best
dairymen, observing whence they were
drifting by this system of depletion,
changed their methods, fed more grain,
especially cottonseed meal, carefully
husbanded and applied all the solid
manure made, and now the tame
grasses are driving out the weeds and
other wild growth. This is farming on
right lines. 1t must be understood
that most dairy lands are not tillable.
The dairymen might go further now
and utilize the liquid manure, which
is almost wholly neglected. Will

There are IN Austria five religious

without property, but members of
noble families which have done dis

Theresia, of Savoy; that in Brunn by
Emperor Leopold III. in 1892, and those
in Prague and Innsbruck in 1855 and
1865 respectively by Empress Maria

the highest rank. AS it's abbesses, ac-

the abbess has the right to the title OF
''royal highness," even if, by exception,
she who holds the office is only of noble
not royal blood. She has also the right
to crown the queen of Bohemia; and she
is installed by an archduke, as repre-

The abbesses are not pledged to the
