their bread is buttered they will
stamp this obnoxious weed out
whenever and wherever they see
it, or else be compelled to abandon
their farms in the future. Many
farmers do not know this weed

r A STRICT sAeeATARlAN.

The Sunday Question ~ Solved BY Maine
Farmer.
A case of unlsual strictness in Sab
bath observance is reported from West
Auburn, Me. A farmer wss waited on
by one of his neighbors who asked for
the loan of his team the following Sun
day to take his wife and children to
the cemetery. At first he tfatly refused
to let the team, arguing that it would
be sin to receive money for such q
thing on the Sabbath day, but he final
~ said to the ncighbor that he would
think It over aud let him know Satur-
day. renarking that he would pray
over it in the meantime. Saturday the
neighbor called and the farmer said
that he pondered and prayed over the
matter and come to the conclusion that
it would be no harm to let the tenn.
but that the neighbor must not pay for
it until some week day following. So
the neighbor hired the team to 60 to
the cemetery on Sunday, paying for it
on Monday. and everything was sais-
factory.

} CARVED HIS OWN COFFIN.
An English Craftsman Puts His Art to .
Strange Use.


A coffin yarn from England is this,
from Nottingham paper: The hobby
Of an old gentleman, who has just dc.
parted this life in Dmddlestone, was
wood carving. Being of independent
means he was able to devote his time
to the craft and become q very artistic
craftsman. After filling his house with
hand-carved furniture he turned his at
tention to the carving of an oaken
coffin, to contain his remains. Over
the richly-carved panels he spent much
loving care. In this coffin de luxe he
was buried recently, and in accordance
with minute instructions in his last will
and testament, was followed to the
grave by one mourner only-a young
man to whom he had left the bulk Of
his property, ignoring all of his rela-
tives. The coffin was conveyed to the
churchyard in the old gentleman's pri-
vate vehicle, drawn by his favorite
pony"
