Grass Under Trees.

Sometimes we see trees which dry
up the grass under them, while in the
same neighborhood will be trees under
which the grass will grow greener
than where it is not thus shaded An
orchard that has long been plowed
deep has most of its feeding roots be-
low those of the grass. On the other
hand. under the tree where grass has
long grown, the true feeding roots
come near the surface, and when a
dry time comes the grass under it lacks
moisture and is very soon killed out.

Time to Gut Timothy.

Timothy grass is usually left too late
before it is cut. 1t does not have the nu-
triton Of clover at any stage, and If left
until it's seed ripens, much that was nu-
triton earlier is changed to woody
fiber. The common mistake Is made Of
allowing the head to blossom. Then it
needs to ripen it's seed so as to get be-
yond the blossom stage. Old horsemen
say that timothy seed is very nutritious.
It would need to be to produce any eff
feet, as it is very small part of the
head. What really keeps up the
strength Of timothy-fed horses is the
cut feeding that goes with it. Thebest
time to cut timothy is just as it comes
into head and before it blossoms. The
hay will not weigh so much then, but
it has more available nutrition than 1t
will have later.

Many farms are SO situated that the

Proud of the Capital.

The people of the country are fond of
their capital. More than the Washing
tonians themselves, they have seen the
wonderful progress of Washington, for
by visits at intervals, some of them ex-
tending over years, they have met with
some contrasts which tell the story to
the spectator more thoroughly than con-
slant living in the city could do. In diff
ferent parts of the country we have
heard people discuss the growth of
Washington with pride and relate the
comparisons of their various visits. The
man who was there 10 or 20 years ago
and who goes again this year takes a
tale back home which he never tires Of
telling
And not only will Washington have
no rival in the sense of competition, but
it is destined to be beautiful beyond any
other city or any other capital in the
world. What has been done is simply
an earnest of what is to come. 1t will
be the capital of society as we'll as poll
tics Art and education will follow, and
already it is fact that more learned
and authoritative men can be gathered
in an audience in that city than any
where else in the country. In fact, Bal
timore is glad to be so near Washington

The Fuliness of Country Life.

In the country every morning OF the
year brings with it new aspect of
springing or fading nature, a new duty
to be fulfilled upon earth and a new
promise or warning in heaven. No day
is without its innocent hope, its special
prudence. its kindly gift and its sublime
danger and in every process of wise hus-
bandry and every effort of contending or
remedial courage The wholesome pas
sions, pride and bodily power of the la
borer are excited and exerted in hap
piest unison. The companionship of
domestic and the care of serviceable ami
mails soften and enlarge his life with
lowly charities and discipline him in
familiar VISIONS and unboastful forti-
tudes while the divine laws Of seed
time, which cannot be recalled, harvest,
which cannot be fastened, and winter,
in which no man can work, compel the
impotence and coveting of his heart
into labor too submissive to be anxious
and rest too sweet to be wanton. john

"THANK YOU"
It Is the Small Courtesies That Make Life
Worth Living.

u Is the Small Courtesies That Make Life
Worth Living.
ION every hand one hears CT tho neg.
lect to say Thank you, writes Ed
ward w. Box on "The Saying of Thank
You, " in The Ladies Home Journal.
II wonder sometimes if some people
really know how little of what comes
to them is their due and right and how
much of what comes to them is by ia
vor and courtesy. The vast majority of
things which come to us come by pure
favor, by courtesy. And we should rec
ognize this. No act of kindness, how
ever slight, should go unnoticed. A
Thank YOU is simple thing to say. 1t
requires but a few moments to write it,
but it often means much. 1t means ev-
erything sometimes to the person re-
ceiving it. 1t means renewed faith in
human nature in some cases. "A word
of thanks is never lost, never wasted.
If it sometimes seems to be lost upon
the person to whom it is directed, its
expression has not been lost upon some
one else who has heard it. 1t is certain
ly not lost upon ourselves. The most Of
us are quick enough to thank some one
who does us great service. But the
small courtesy, just as great as the
large service i'll reality, we overlook. 1t
doesn' seem worth while to give thanks
for small things. And yet what would
we be today and where would some of
us be but for the small courtesies of
life? They are what make life worth
living.
sit is all very we'll to have the last
Thursday Of each November set apart
as day of Thanksgiving, but it would
be far better if great many of us car
ried the spirit of the day into all ihc
other days. Perhaps if we did so we
might have more mercies to be thank
full for on Thanksgiving day. Do not
let the spirit of thanks stop with night
fall on Thanksgiving day. Let us ex-
tend it to all the other days of the year,
to the people whose lives touch ours.
When we receive favor at the hands
of any one, no matter how small it may
be, let us say the words, THANK you.
If they should be written, let us write
| them. Let us not delay them, but take
| advantage of the instant when our heart
is touched. Let there be more THANK
yous' said by everybody-thousands OF
them. And the world will be better,
brighter and happier place to live in
because of them.

usic and Health.

Music, if we are to believe ancient
historians, has produced some very ex-
traordinary effects The fierceness of
Achilles was allayed by playing Oh the
harp; Damon, with the same instru-
ment, Quoted wild and drunken youths,
and Asclepiades in similar manner
brought back seditious multitudes to
temper and reason. The corybantes and
effeminate priests of Cybele were incit-
ed by music to cut their own flesh. Pin
dar addressed his harp thus: Thou
quenchest the raging thunder" Music
is also reported to have been efficacious
in removing dangerous diseases. Miriam
dola observes, in explanation Of its be-
ing appropriated to such an end, that
music moves the spirits to act upon the
soul as medicine does the soul by the
body. Theophrastus, in his essay on
Enthusiasm, reports many cures up
on this principle. The Thebans used
the pipe for the cure Of many disorders,
and Zenocrates is said to have cured
several madmen. The bite OF the taran-
tula is said to have been cured by music,
and the Phrygian pipe was recommend
ed by many of the ancient fathers as an
antidote to sciatica. We could enumer-
ate many other instances of the estima-
ton, amounting, as it would seem, to
palpable superstition, in which music
was held among the ancients. but the
above may be considered sufficient

vice of drinking, and often Beethoven
and his younger brother were obliged
to take their intoxicated father home.
He was never known to utter an unkind

youth so unhappy, and he never failed
to resent it when a third person spoke
uncharitably of his fathers frailty.
Young Beethoven was thus taught
