Mutton can be produced at so per
cent, less than the cost of beef. Expert
ments made in England with choice
sheep and cattle showed that sheep
stored in their bodies u per cent of the

per cent, thus proving that for mutton
alone, leaving out the value of the wool,
sheep are more profitable than cattle.
Il. Williams advises the use of corn
stalks as a shield for young peach and
apple trees. He selects a large stalk,
cuts off about two feet of the lower end,
splits 1t in half, removes the pith, and
clasps it around the young tree, tying
on securely. If two pieces are not suf-
ficient, add more prepared the same
way. Rabbits will leave them alone,
and it is the best kind of protection for
the tree.
The German potash salts are not
caustic potash, hence they do not dissi-

formed is the most powerful fertilizer

piled to nearly every kind Of crop OF

Time to XIII Timber.

My experience in cutting bushes or

ference in the time l have best sue
cess cutting sprouts and deadening
young sprouts in the dark of the moon.
August is the best month, but July
and September will do. Dry. hot wealth
er is favorable for this work. The
best success l ever had in my life in
cutting bushes and deadening young
timber was several years ago when
the sign was in the heart in the dark
of the moon in August. Very little
sprouting was needed after that cut
ting. But" says one, what has the

JUST A BOY.
Laurence Hntton's "Reminiscences of
His Boyhood Life in New York.

Laurence Hntton's "Reminiscences of
His Boyhood Life in New York.
He was not very good boy, or a very
bad boy, or very bright boy, or an I'M
usual boy in any way He was just
boy; and very often he forgets that he
is not boy now. Whatever there may
be about The Boy that is commendable
he owes to his father and to his mother
and he feels that he should not be held
responsible for it,
His mother was the most generous
and the most unselhsh of human be-
ings. She was always thinking of
somebody else; always doing for others.
TO her 1t was blessed to give. and il
was not very pleasant to receive When
She bought anything The Boys stero-
typed query was. "Who is to have IT."
When anything was bought for her, her
own invariable remark What on
earth shall | do with itE' When The
Boy came to her one summer morning
she looked upon him as n gift from
heaven; and when she was told that it
was boy. and not bad-loolling or n
bad conditioned boy, her first words
wrre-"What on earth shall | do with
it,"
She found plenty Ito do with it, be-
fore she got through with 1t, more than
forty years afterwards; and The Boy
has every reason to believe that she
never regretted the gift Indeed, she
once told him, late in her life that he
had never made her cry! What better
benediction can boy have than that?
The Boy was red-headed and long
nosed even from the beginning; shy,
dreaming, self-conscious little boy,
made peculiarly familiar with his per-
sonal defects by the constant remarks
| to the effect that his hair was red, and
that his nose was long. Al school, for
years he was known Familiarity as "Ru-
fus," Read Head "Carrot-Top," or
"Nosey."
| His mother married at nineteen. was
/ the eldest of family of nine children;
/ ana many of The Boys aunts and
! uncles were but few years his senior
and were his daily and familiar com
/ panions. He was the only member of
/ his own generation for long time, and
there was constant fear upon the part
j of the elders that he was likely to be
spoiled and consequently he was never
praised, nor petted, nor coddled. He
was always falling down. or dropping
things, he was always getting into the
way; and he could not learn to spell
correctly nor 10 cipher at all. He was
never in his mothers way, however,
and he was never made to feel So But
nobody except The Boy knows of the
agony which the rest of the family, I'M
+ consciously and with no thought of
hurting his feelings, caused him, by the
fun they poked at his nose, at his fiery
locks. and at his unhandiness. He
fancied that paSsers-by pitled him as he
walked or played in the streets; and he
sincerely pited himself as a youth des.
tined to grow up into an awkward, tact,
less, stupid man at whom the world
would laugh so long as his life lasted

For Exploring tho sea. Bottom.

spherical box containing compress
ed air, and large enough to hold three
or more persons, has been invented by
an Italian named Corzetto, for the pur-
pose of exploring the sea bottom. 1t
appears, however that the invention is
not yet a practical success, for when
Mr.. Corzetto accompanied by two OF
his friends, entered his sphere and was
lowered to the bottom of the Bay of
Spezia recently, the apparatus for caus-
ing the sphere to rise to the surface
failed to work Unable to help them
selves, or to communicate with the
outer world, the three men remained on
the sea bottom. In the meantime the
long submergence of the sphere had
been noticed, and diver was sent
down to find out what was the matter.
At this time the sphere had been lying
on the bottom nine hours, and an equal
length Of time elapsed before it could
be lifted to the surface. When 1t was
opened the inventor was half asphyx-
lated and his friends were unconscious,
but all recovered; and Mr. Corzetto is
not discouraged.

History has given most of the credit
of the invention Of gunpowder to Monk
Schwartz, who probably no more de-
served 1t than any other chemist of his
age, az It is frequently mentioned long
before his time. The Chinese used
gunpowder in war as early as A. ID.
SO. 1t was described by Julius African
us. a Roman writer, in A. ID. 215; 1t
was used in the Greek Empire in 66s;
the Arabs employed 1t in besieging
Mecca in 600; the Emperor Leo author
ized ts use in the Greek army In S1l;
Marcus Gracious, a Greek writer, in
SAG described 1t just as made to-day; in
$50 the Emperor Leo, the philosopher,
organized rocket corps in mis- army
and established a factory for the man
ufaeture; IA 1913 Solomon of Hungary
bombarded Belgrade with cannon, and
in over a dozen engagements between
that date and 1880, at which the in
yention of Schwartz Is said to have oc-
Cured, artillery or small arms are
known to have been employed. Monk
Schwartz may have popularized its
use In Germany, but his claims as an
inventor are open to contention.

Archbishop Magee was once present
at full-dress debate on the eastward
position, when doubts were expressed
as to the exact meaning of the words
before the table" After a speech or
two. Dr. Magee seized a piece of paper
and wrote: AS to the phrase, The
piper played before Moses doubts
have arisen. Some believe its meaning
to be that the piper played before Mo
ses-that is. at a period anterior to his
birth. Others hold that the piper play
ed before Moses in the sense of preced-
ing the great law-giver when he dane
ed; While others teach that the piper
played tcoram Mosel before, or in the
presence of Moses, van the son of
Amran dined All these are wrong.
The phrase is to be understood as i'm
plying that the piper played at the
north end of Moses. looking south. >
The document was handed to Arch
bishop TAFT, who looked grave.
