A Friend in Heed.

Here is good story from the "Reeol-
ectioEs of Aubrey de Vere:" a young
man was tried for murder, having kill
ed a member of rival faction in a
faction fight. The judge, reluctant to
sentence him to death on account Of
his youth, turned to him and said:
SIS thers anyone in Court who can
speak as to your character" The
youth looked rouai the Cart, then
said sadly: ''There is no man here
my lord, that l know" At that my
grandfather chaneed to walk into the
grand jury gallery. He saw at once
bow matters stood. He called out,
''You are aqueer boy that don't know
a friend when you see himr'
The boy was quick-witted- he an
swered: "Oh, then, it is myself that is
proud to see your Honor here this day"
"Well," said the Judge, 'Sir We're,
since you know the boy, will you tell
US what YOU know of hin?" 81 will,
my lord,n said my grandfather, ''and
what | can tell you is this-that from
the very first day that ever saw him to
this miluto / never knew anything
that was not good.p The old tenant
ended his tale by striking his hands to-
gether and exelaiming: "And he had
never elapped his eye upon the boy till
this minuter' The boy escaped being
hanged.

Don'ts For the Broom.

Don't let the broom get dirty. 1t will
take but few minutes to clean it in a
pail of soap suds, or to hold it under
the warm water faucet after each using
that has made it especially soiled; and
this will also keep the splints pIiable.
Don't allow it to become pressed out
of shape while damp.
Don't set a broom downwhen through
with it, even when it is perfectly dry;
and dor't stand it OH its handle when
damp and allow the moisture to settle
about the wires and rust them. Bore
a hole in the handle and keep it hung
up at all times when not in use.
Don't use a broom straw to test cake
or bread, while baking. 1t is not neat,
and it is really dangerous, as many
brooms are soaked in arsenic solution
10 give them their green ooloT.
Don't sweep with your back. Use
your arms and the broom, with not too
long a stroke.

A Suburban IdyL.

1t was too cold to sit on the porch.

"Let US walk, " said Clarissa.
They walked.
Presently they came to a place here
the houses were few and the lamp posts
far between. And the moon discreetly
veiled her face, aud several large,
Opaque clouds scampered across the
starry vault.
Clarissa shiyered.
"How chilly the air has grown" ste

''The wind is fresher.n
"Fresher than what?" asked Clarissa
Edgardo started slightly, but did not
reply.

"Are yol afrAiI of eltcAing eold2'

ed youth, and there was a ring Of SYM
pathy in his unstudied tone.
"NO," she irritably answered.
She looked a. him critically.
"DO you ever catch eold?" she asked.
Sometimes" he answered.
'You astonish me-" she said. II
didn't suppose. you were brisk enough
to catch anything"
He turned his eyes toward her in pain
ed surprise. Then he gave another
start. His face frightened.

The wind came round the corner with
a chastened rush. The street lamps
winked lazily.

Islands Named For Dogs.

Dozens, some say scores, Ofislands, Of
greater or less dimensions, are known
as Little Dogs" DOG Islands, +" "Big
Dogs etc. An island in the Thames,
now a part of London, is called the
elsie of Dogs" Three lofty, rocky isl
ands near ST. Thomas, Virgin Islands,
are known as "rhe Great Dog"
George Dog" and the "West Dog"
There are DOG Islands" in the Ma
layan Archipelago; Off the coast of
Maine; on the coast of Franklin county
Florida, and another in the Serawati,
Group.
On the coast of Kanischatka there is an
island known as "'The Island Of Talk
ing Dogs" The curious story connect
ed with this spot of land and the one
that gives it tie name it bears is this,
according to an Asiatic legend:
Tue first Inhabitants Of the Far
North did not employ dogs, but drew
their walrus-rib sIeds themselves Az
ter ages lad elapsed men made an at
tempt to use the dogs of that region
which. by the way, talked just as men
do-as beasts of burden. The talking
dogs, however, argued the ease with
their would be masters, and were not
long in proving that they had enough
to do to catch game for themselves and
~. a, fl1r Of man
But the men soon learned the use Of
the bow and arrow and the spear, thus
running the occupation Of the talking
dogs. Again an attempt was made to
harness them to sieds, but they rebell-
ed, aud all swan out Of the island,
afterwards known as "The Island of
the Talking Dogs
Here the game was scarce, and the
dogs soon turned eannibals, and by the
end of the first winter there were only
seven left. Some humane Kamsehat-
kans volunteered to row out to the ISL
and, and bring of the remnant Of the
dog colony. But the dogs refused to
leave their barren island, saying:
aWhat people are you? We have never
seen YOU before" For this untruth
Chami, the dog-god, took their voices
away from them and until this day they
have been the dumb servants Of man.

Ten Thousand Kisses.

A dispatch from Berlin tells Of a
young German who has just attempted
to take ten thousand kisses in ten
hours from his sweetheart's lips, his
ambition, of course, being to establish a
kissing record. In spite of the some
what hampering condition Of witnesses
and scorers, a record Of two thousand
''smacks" for the first hour and one
thousand for the second hour was es-
tablished, when suddenly the youth
collapsed, his lips became paralyzed
and he fell in faint. II is deplOrable
that the cable makes no comment upon
the condition Of the young woman az
ter such violent labial exercise.

Au Arouud The Parm

Scrub rams should be promptly dis
posed Of, and not allowed to mingle
with the other sheep. By wedding uus
the ewes and procuring erosses from
suitable pure-bred rams the flock will
rot ouly hold its own, but continually
improve.
Do not SOW grain in the orchard,
especially wheat or rye. Oats RAY be
sOwn after the orchard is well grown,
and pastured down with hogs, with but
little bad effect Never under any cir
eumstanees allow timothy, red-top.
blue grass, or any other grass that forms
a tough sod, inan orchard. When the
orchard IS not in cultivation it should
be in clover; hogs may be pastured on
the clover.
Give the soil something for what you
take from it, snd protect the young trees
from cattle and bark-loving marauders.
With the same Intelligent care that is
given to other farm crops am eonvin-
ced that the profits of the apple orchard
viii exceed them all.
An experienced farmer once told Us
that when he was obliged to begin fed
ing new oats, while still moist, he had
saved injury to his horses by giving an
equal bulk with them Of wheat bran.
As the bran is itself nutritious the
am0ant Of oats may be diminished 10
the extent that the bran by weight Is
substitu' = As the oats dry out the
proportion of bran may be decreased
until none is given. Yet in seasons
when oats were dear we have known
bran and cornmeal used as a substitute
for feeding to working hOrses.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.
Renew an old orchard by plowing in
the fall and applying a top dressing Of
barnyard manure, giving each tree
about two big wagonloads. To fact,
spread it over the entire surface four
inches deep, and sou will be astonished
at the results. Your t-ees viii take ON
a new lease of life, make a good growth,
with healthy dark green foliage in the
place OF the sickly light green of pre-
viOus years. You will get large crops
Of excellent fruit. The trouble with
most old orchards is that they are hide
bound in grass and starved to death for
want of food.
From recent experiments it appears
that meadow will yield about four
times as much feed in bulk if fmade into
hay as it will if pastured. But, as it is
well known that the young tender grass
of the ofteneropped pasture is more nu-
tritious than the older and tougher
hav, it was found by careful test that
the advantage in nutrients, digestibility
and freedom from cost O harvesting,
housing and feeding OF pa stured fields,
will nearly balance the greater yield Of
hay fields, except on very high-prieed
lands.
The first consideration in planting
trees about farm blildings IS to shelter
them from sun, wind and storm. The
need of shade in summer is generally
recognized, but too many planters over
look the equal necessity for evergreens
to protect from winter winds, and to
give little color to the monotony Of
the winter landscapes. Evergreens
produce an effect in ornamental plant
ing not to be obtained in any other
Way.

ing there, and wondered IL he had mis-
taken his directions. No, there is some
thing there, and he rides closer to see
what it is. One brief glance at the ru-
ins and he knows the whole story. The
posts with the marks of the axe, and
the poles which formed the scaffold are
there. The tracks of the wagon and
the mules show plainly in the soft
earth, and all around are the footprints
of white men. But where is the dead
warrior? Scattered about are frag-
ments of the skeleton stripped Of the
flesh, and down yonder by the river
is a score of coyotes, snarling and fight
ing over something which looks very
much like a portion of the dead In
dams body. The wolves and coyotes
had finished the work which the white
vandals had begun.
No tear started from the eye of the
dead warriors brother as he sat there
on his pony and contemplated the
scene, but giving utteranee to that saw

1t was midnight when he reached his
camp, but before daylight, mounted on
a fresh horse and followed by fifty stall
wart braves, h. was on the trail Of the
fourteen men who committed the out
rage. They never used that buffalo
robe, nor did they make whip'ashes of
the deerskins. The bow and arr VS.

one of the fourteen was killed, provid-
