The Bad Boy.

He was about the worst boy in the
school and the teacher had punished him
again and again until she had begun to
consider him in the light Of Il natural ene-
my and she felt that the boys feeling for
her must be almost one of hatred. So it
was in the nature of surprise, when in
view Of the approaching holiday separa-
tion other boys of the school brought to
her desk little gifts of remembrance, to
have the bad boy approach with some hes
itation and place box of candy on her
desk. "But don't think I can take it,
Tom" she said. "You have been too bad q
boy. You have seemed to do everything
you could to displease me. ooh, please
take it, Miss Blank" said the bad boy in
entreating tones. ~ worked after school
hours to get the money to get it, And
some one felt tears coming very near the
surface then, for the bad boy was poor
boy and had not so many pleasures in life
that he could be expected to sacrifice any
Of them for anv one.-New York Times.

For the first time in history gen
erous census has been taken of the
population of the Russian Empire,
which is shown to number 129, 9,2l1, =
113, of which total 6i,616, $50 are
males and "a, 594, S33 are females.
United States consul General Karel at
st. Petersburg, who transmits the
figures to the state department, says
they show that in forty-fve years the
population of Russia has doubled,
and during the last twelve years it has
increased twenty per cent. To take
this census the Russian government
employed an army of one hundred and
fifty thousand persons, and its com.
pletion in three months is regarded
as great achievemnt, in view of the
vast expanse of territory to be covered
and the illiteracy of the population.

BEGINNING AGAIN.

When somtimes our feet grow weary
On the rugged hills OF life,
The path stretching long and dreary,
With trial and labor rife,
We pause on the upward journey,
CHANGING backward DER valley and glen,
And sigh with an infinite longing
To return and "begin again."
For behind Is the dew OF the morning,
sswith all its freshness and light,
And before US are doubts and shadows
And the chill and gloom of the night;
And we think OF the sunny places
We passed SO carelessly then,
And we sigh, 80 Father, permit us
To return and begin again
We think OF the many dear ones
Whose lives touched ours at times.
Whose loving thoughts and pleasant smiles
Float back like vesper chimes;
And we sadly remember burdens
We might have lightened then
All, gladly would we ease them,
Could we "begin again"
And yet. how vain the asking!
LIES duties press all OF us on,
And who would shrink from the burden,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone?
And It may be not far on before US
Wait places fairer than then:
Our paths may yet lead by still waters,
Though we may not "begin again"
Yes, upward and onward forever
BE our paths on the hills oflife,
But ere long radiant dawning
Will glorify trial and strife.
And our Fathers hand will lead us
Tenderly upward then;
In the Joy and peace OF the better world
He'll let US begin again."

An 'amphibious boat" is an actual
fact in Denmark, and last season car
ried twenty-thousand passengers. 1t
operates on two large lakes, the bodies
of water being divided by strip of
land eleven hundred feet in width.
1t is to cross this strip of land that
the boat leaves the water and for n
time becomes locomotive. Her full
complement of passengers is seventy,
and when she is loaded she weighs
fifteen tons.

There is n scarcity in Florida waters
of the best sponge, the "sheepwool, +"
and the returns to the sponge-fshers
have been gradually lessening. A
like scarcity in other waters is indi-
Gated by the increased demand for in
ferior sponges, which have heretofore
been looked upon as comparatively
worthless. One of these, the grass
sponge, is very abundant in Florida.
1t is of coarse texture and has large
internal channels, but has proved to
be fair substitute for the better
sponge. A demand for it, both in
this country and i'll Europe, has re.
suited in raising its price to the fisher
from twenty-eight to sixtyfve cents
bunch. Its gathering is profitable
at fifty cents a bunch, and the demand
for it has infused new life into a
Florida industry which has been Ian.
gushing for seven years.

Wages Are High in Japan.

: The competition Of japanese labor,
which has been 30 much dreaded by
the American workman, is not likely
longer to be menace if wages in Japan
continue to increase in the extraordin-
ary degree they have maintained since
the China.Japanese War.
United States Consul Connolly, OF
Hioga, has supplied the State Depart
ment with tables, showing the wages
of various classes oflabor, more or less
skilled, for 1894, 1895 and 1896, that
illustrates this wonderful increase in
certain lines. Agricultural laborers,
IN ale and female, have had their wages
advanced in that period of time from
10 yen per day to .25 yen; weavers
from .15 to .35 yen; tailors from go to
1.2O yen; papermakers from .1S to 40
yen; blacksmiths from AS to .S5 yen,
and SO on through many kinds Of To-
Dor.
The Japanese manufacturers also ap-
pear to be having their labor troubles,
which they are endeavoring to over
come in unique fashion, as shown by
the Consuls report, based on newspa.
per accounts. The great activity in
the cotton spinning industry has led to
n demand for labor in excess of the
supply. One great mill raised wages,
and thus enticed away labor from its
competitors. The latter replied by O
boycott against the offending mill, and
then sought forcibly to prevent the de,
sertion Of their operatives. Pickets
were located at stations and along the
river route, but Notwithstanding ths
boycotted mill continues to draw away
the laborers who manage to make theil
escape.

Draught Horses on the Road.

fhe strength of the draught horse
enables him to make good time for n
short sprint, despite the excess of
weight he carries. But unless on soft
dirt roads fast driving of draught
horses should not be attempted, be-
cause the excess of weight makes the
pounding of the horses feet on the
hard surface all the more severe. 1t
is well known that heavy horses are
quite apt to have defective feet. This
we believe to be the cause. Kept to
their appropriate pace on the road
and on the farm draught horses will
live and do good service years after
they are twenty years old. 1t is ner.
vous worry that shortens life, rather
than hard, muscular toll, both in
horses and in men.-The Silver
Knight.

Alfalfa.

AIIHINls
A most valuable bulletin of the New
York station is that ON alfalfa (No.
11S). 1t gives full account of the
plant and many additional details as
to method and time of seeding, cut
ting, making hay and ensiling, and
discusses the yields, composition and
feeding value of alfalfa Us compared
with other crops.
Alfalfa being deeper roofing plant
than are the clovers, is thus better ena-
bled to stand drought; and it is o per-
ennial, continuing indefinitely when
once established. It stands successive
cutting well, giving four or even five
crops of rich fodder in a single season.
1t is admirably adapted to supplement
maize as a soiling crop, as it is rich in
the heterogeneous elements which maize
lacks. At the station it has been read
lily eaten by stock of all kinds, and has
proven an economical addition to the
rations.
1t will grow on great variety of
soil but will not stand stagnant water
or water level too near the surface.
Considerable care is required in start
ing field, as it is essential to secure
good stand in moving crop which
is to last for several years. The ground
should be plowed the fall before, and
fitted well just before sowing the seed
in the spring. Alfalfa has been quite
handy at Geneva, but may not be so
much farther north in the State. In
n favorable year and on rich soil it may
sometimes give one or even two good
crops the first season; but usually no
crop need be expected until the Sec
ond year. The yield then increases
for three or four years, and may re-
main constant for ten years or more
il weeds and grass do not gain foot
hold. At the station the average yield
from five crops Of four cuttings each,
was over seventeen tons Of green fod.
der per acre.

Cure For Pig Eating Sow.

As soon as the pigs arrive take them
away and with three old iron barrel
hoops fasten the SOW to the floor.
Place one of the hoops just back of the
fore legs, another just in front of the
hind legs and the third over the neck.
Pad the hoops with bran sack or
some old bits of cloth. Place q strap
muzzle over the nose, secure it to the
first hoop, then turn in the pigs. From
twenty-four to thirty-six hours con-
finement will tame the most obstinate
and depraved sow.-E. A. Wood, New
York.

SpOiled I'm the Stack.

II the aggregate annual loss of hay
by being spoiled in stack could be def
nitely determined, the long string OF
figures required to express the loss
would probably astonish the most OF
us. Besides, much of the hay that is
not thrown ont as spoiled is dusty
and of low value as compared with its
condition when stacked. Glover is
particularly difficult to keep in good
condition. 1t should be very carefully
stacked, keeping middle very full, and
covered with long grass or other pro
tective material. .-Epitomist.

Making Horses Eat Slowly.

Many horses, especially iffed grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. If they took longer time
to masticate it there would be less
grain voided in their excrement. A
good way to compel slow eating is to
mix with the grain few clean pebbles,
that will oblige the horse to gather his
food slowly. A still better way is to
grind the grain and mix the meal with
three times its bulk Of cut hay,or twice
its bulk of straw.
