Substitutes For Hay.

It is not an unusual occurrence that the
weather in the spring is so dry that the
hay crop is short or an almost total fall
ure. 1t Is strange that some way cannot
be devised for irrigating at least suffi-
oient amount of tillable land to insure the
farmer good hay crop. There is no ration
that will take the place Of this, and the
facilities for making sure Of it are any
thing but satisfactory. Every farmer
should set apart certain portion Of his
low land for hay. In wet weather he IS
likely to have a good crop anyway, and
in dry times a we'll cared for field of low
land will do much to bridge over the time
between late autumn and early spring,
when there is nothing whatever out Of
doors for stock to eat The practice OF
sowing millet, sorghum, cowpeas or
crimson clover late in the season, when
the indications are that fall pasture will
be poor, and that the hay crop Is altogeth-
or unsatisfactory, is becoming general.
Cornstalks may be cut as soon as the ears
are ripe. The earlier they are cut the more
nutritious they are and the more valuable
for feeding. AS rule, farmers give too
little attention to cornstalks which, when
properly cured, are among the most useful
of food products for stock, especially so In
the absence of an abundance of good hay.
Rye makes good crop, but should never
be fed to COWS that are giving milk, as 1T
imparts an unpleasant flavor to the milk
and is by many persons considered un-
wholesome. New York Ledger.

Admiral BYnR.

The government equipped (very badly
q feet Of ten vessels and gave the COM
mand to Admiral Byng. He fought an
action with Comte de la Galissoniere, in
which he was defeated and fell back to
defend Gibraltar. At Gibraltar, Hawke,
who was sent out to replace him, deprived
him of his command before the whole feet.
He was brought to trial by court martial
in England, condemned and shot. Old
Blakeney was deservedly loaded with hon.
ors. He lived another five years to enjoy
his peerage, a coloneloy and the red ribbon
and was buried in Westminster abbey.
Byng has never been properly under
stood. Few people even at the time OF bis
iniquitous execution really supposed that
he deserved death. In all mems eyes
Newcastle was the real criminal. But
the people must have victim, and New
castle was beyond their reach. The loss
of Minorca stirred the people to their
depths. They were in no mood for dis
eliminating. All they could insist on was
that some one must hang for Port Mahon,
and so Byng was flung to them as scape-
goat for the ministry.
But Byng was not exactly martyr. He
was at the time Of his death gentleman
Of So years of age, the son Of the founder
Of the Torrington peerage and might all
his life have had any appointment he cared
to ask for. 1t is no proof Of oowardice
that he chose easy posts. Byng was
brave man, but he was dawdler, and
when he came to fight his last engagement
he reaped the fruits Of his dawdling life,
for he was outmaneuvered. Temple Bar.

Icebergs In the Antarctic Ocean.

Icebergs Of large size were everywhere
to be seen and showed distinctly whether
they were broken from the big barrier or
discharged from the glaciers on Victoria
Land. Like fairy palaces were these mas
terpieces of nature floating about, so clean,
so pure, that the eye of mortal man seemed
unworthy of such beauty-beautiful be-
yond description, terrible in their gigantic
majesty, the crystals Of their walls gilt.
tering in the sun, while caves and arches
were half hidden in mist of azure blus,
and about them the ocean, roaring some-
times with great fury, threw waves far up
against their perpendicular sides, to fall
back again in clouds of foam.-"The First
Landing on the Antarctic Continent" by
c. E. Borchgrevink, In Century.

One Of the yaearies Of Memoir.

A child Of American parents was born
in Spain, and although the language Of
the family was English, she learned to
speak Spanish fuently. She then re-
turned to America and went into board
ing school where French was the only
language spoken. OF course, hearing no
Spanish, the child gradually seemed to for
get it. Her knowledge Of French was per-
feot, and that she used as we'll as English.
When she became an elderly lady, her
health failed her, and she sank into con-
dition Of physical and mental weakness.
After time her attendants observed that
she seemed not to understand anything
that was spoken in English, but conversed
in French with ease, and comprehended
whatever was said to her In that tongue.
At last she lapsed into long interval OF
semiconsciousness, during which she un-
derstood nothing. During the last days
of her life she suddenly rallied, and her
command of Spanish came back to her, 80
that she talked fuently In 1t and thor
oughly understood 1t. AS case Of mental
lapse and popularity of memory, this is
considered quite worthy Of note.-New
York Ledger.

The Mind and Action.

once asked class Of 16 girls to think
intently what it would feel like to lift the
right hand and touch the left shoulder.
After few minutes had elapsed nine Of
them confessed having felt desire to do
it. I then dropped the subject and spoke
of something else. In a few moments six
actually did it. Most persons when con-
centrating attention upon the thought of
what given movement would feel like,
find themselves becoming possessed Of q
desire to do it, and this desire marks the
tendency of the thought to produce the
movement. But as we not only feel but
also see our movements, we find that the
thought of what movement looks like
has also motor value and tends to produce
it. This is also true Of touches and Ideas
Of touch-indeed all or nearly all mental
states produce some motor changes In the
budy, but the motor effects of sensations
and ideas of sound, taste and smell are rel
atively slight. W. r. Newbold

LOGICAL ARRANGEMENT OF THOUGHT
A Couple of Illustrative Incidents In
Preachers Experience.

A Couple of Illustrative Incidents In
Preachers Experience.
The appended anecdotes concerning the
late President Robinson arc given to the
nnblic as too characteristic and too good
to be lost They are from the recollections
of the Rev. DR.. A. j. Sage:
"Once in the classroom DR.. Robinson
WAS expatiating on the Importance of care
ful logical arrangement of thought in dis
course, when he drew the following illus
tration from his own experience: Once,
when was preaching, a peculiar incident
occurred. had gone through my intro
duction and first division, when my men,
ory failed me. 1could not recall my second
division, but instead Of it came up the
first point of the application. After vainly
trying to recall the missing head, 1 stated
to the congregation that for special rea-
son would pass at once to the application.
I did so and when had discussed tho
first point, the missing part of my dis
course came back to me and l went
through it all without further difficulty.
On reaching homo l set myself down to
inquire the meaning of this incident, when
1 discovered that that which had planned
as the first point of my application should
have been really the second division of the
sermon. The mind in the activity of
speaking had been more loyal to its own
principles than had permitted it to be in
the toll of preparation
1.-THE doctor was speaking to the class
on the Importance of keeping the mind
free from preoccupying and disturbing
thoughts when about to speak extempore.
He said: / was on my way to preach one
Sunday morning, absorbed in my dis
course, when a gentleman met me who
said, "Have you heard that -- is going
to marry Miss -" mentioning two per-
sons in whom I was interested, whose
marriage would be particularly insult
able The suggestion took possession Of
my mind, and in spite of my best efforts
l could not get rid of it. All through my
sermon my thoughts were full of the
haunting idea of that unfortunate misal-
lance. My discourse was failure. You
may imagine that my feeling toward the
source of this i'll timed information was
not exceedingly amiable. I could have
helped him over tall fence. New

You scatter intangible sweets
To WOO her steps to your solitudes,
