How q Doll Befriended Our 0overnmsu
Charles Dickens and the Child.
Alfonso's Toys.

Some Apache Indians had left the re-
serve, and one of our generals had had a
good deal of trouble in trying to get
them back. One day little papoose-
that is, little Indian girl 8 years old
-strayed away from her fathers wag
on. One of the soldiers found her and
took her TO the fort. All day she was
very quiet, but when night came she
sobbed and cried, just as any litflo
white child would, for her mother and
her home. The soldiers did not know
what to do with her. They could not
quiet her. At last the commander IN
charge remem bered that beautiful doll
had been sent from the east to the
daughter Of one of the officers. He went
TO this officers house and asked to bor-
row the doll for the little Indian girl in
the fort. The doll was beautiful herself
and beautifully dressed. The little gil
loaned il to the officer, and 1t was car
ried to the little Indian baby. 1t was
placed in her arms, and she was made
to understand that she could take 1t TO
bed with her. Immediately che stopped
crying and fell asleep with the beauti-
full doll closely held in her arms. When
morning came, she was radiantly happy
the moment she opened her eyes and
saw her beautiful little convanion. She
patted It, she rocked it, she talked to
il, just as any little white child would.
But now there came a new difficulty.
The soldiers hoped. if they kept the lit
tie girl, that her parents would come OF
send after her, and they could ente.
into some negotiations with them to ges
them back on the reserve. Several dayk
passed, and at last the soldiers decided
that the little papoose must be taken
back to her family, as they would not
come for her. With her doll in her arms
she started with her protectors for the
wigwam. The soldiers lett the child
with her mother and returned to the
fort. The next day the little papoose' o
mother appeared at the fort with the
doll to return it. She was recef sed with
the greatest courtesy by the soldiers,
treated with great consideration, and
made to understand that her little
daughter was to keep the doll. The re
suit was that the soldiers kindness t.
the little girl and their courtesy to her
mother created a revulsion of feeling
among the wandering Indians and led to
negotiations which resulted in the In .
dams going back to the reserve-that is,
the land set apart for them by the Unit
ed States recommendation any

A Kindly Act Of Dickens.


when was girl of about 10 years
of ags," says one of the oldest inhahi-
sants of Broadstairs, "during dreadful
winter. was sent by my parents, WHO
were very poor, to Ramsgs.e to buy xdsf
self pair of strong winter boots. On
my way home the cold was intense, aud
holding the parcel close to me found
when nearly at my journeys end that
the boots had slipped out of the parcel
and that 1 only held the brown paper in
my hands.
with my heart in my mouth ran
back by the way / had come, and meet
ing a man whom l had passed some
time previously asked him if he had
seen the boots, and he answered very
gruffly. No
Continuing my search, l met man
in a dogcart, who inquired what was
the hurry. l told him of my loss After
telling him all my story he told me to
jump up with him, and soon we over
took the man whom had met before.
My good Samaritan Intercepted him
very closely, and eventually it turned
out that he had picked them up.
Charles Dickens-for it was he who
had befriended me-then said to him.
If you had been an honest man,
should have rewarded you, but as you
are not good horsewhipping is what
you deserve. He then turned and asked
me if l had heard of Charles Dickens,
to which l answered, No. Then, smil-
ing upon me. he said, You will hear of
Charles Dickens one of these days, and
you will then be able to tell how he did
kind action once in his life. SCOTS

Alfonso and His Toys.

Alfonso, at the age of 13, is war
rior. The recent terrible defeat of SpaiL
has been kept from him, except in {
general way, aud he still believes that
Spain is the greatest country in the
world on land and sea.
Since he has heard so much war talk
he has insisted on forming company of
his own in the grounds of the palace.
Each day at the close of his lessons he
amuses himself by having his guards
form a company, and then he drills
them.
The time for the drill is placed at
one hour; but in the enthusiasm of the
little warrior he lengthens it to an hour
and half, until the guards begin to
show WEAKNESS.
On a recent occasion, wishing to stop
the mimic performance and not daring
to interrupt their kings sport, one of
the guards fell to the ground in a faint
Alfonso sprang TO the side of the pros
srated fellow, while the other guards
brought water. Then the king shouted
Dismissed !" and there was a great
scattering in which the sick guard sud
denly recovered
1t will MT be difficult TO instiu war
like ideas into the youthful mind Of
Alfonso, for ne cares for nothing but
war.-Philadelph Press.

And the fern fronds. waving. smiled.

The Use of Lime.

A correspondent writes, says the Practl-
cal Farmer, that he has heard that In q
certain section of The country the land has
been brought up from very poor condi-
ton by the use Of lime. He wants to know
If this is true for he says. II live In =
limestone valley and can get plenty of
stone to burn into lime, and If it will make
the land rich l want to know It and use
II. Ihis correspondent lives in the South
in region where the natural fertility Of
the soil is considerably worn by the CON
slant growing of cotton annually. In tho
uplands of the South there is naturally a
dcllclency OF humus or vegetable matter
because in the open woodlands the leaves
are blown away during the winter 70 the
low lands, while In the North the snow
holds them fast to decay and for mold on
the hills. Long and careless culture In cot
ton stlll further reduces the humus. Now
II lime Is applied to land in this condition
1t may release some mineral matters like
potash, and temporarily increase the pro-
ductiveness of the land But II this is not
conserved by the use of legumes in connec-
ton with the lining, the man who uses the
lime Will soon discover what we have tir,e

The day of the big, fat hog is past;
there IS more demand and profit in grow
ing 10-month pig weighing go pounds
than larger old ones, says the Southern
Farm Gazette. This being the
case pigs should be hurried
forward with some grain while
on pasture Pigs should never be confined
in foul pens, and made to eat in their
droppings, as such treatment is vicious,
as well as violation of the sanitary laws
OF animal life. The hog cannot thrive so
wen nor be as thrifty when so treated. The
pig is cleanly animal-more so than most
domestic animals-when allowed a decent
chance. He will deposit his manure in a
particular place and never in his feed
trough or bed. 1t Is disgusting beyond
tolerance to see a pig confined in a small
pen, especially in summer with no place
for the manure except in the feed trough
or in the bog-mud floor, and all emitting
the most intolerable odor
Good pasture is essential for profitable
pigs, as the pig is a grass-eater as well
as grain-eater. The chief factor in favor
of cheap pork production in the South
is the mild climate. A large variety OF
cheap crops can be grown, expensive
houses are not needed, care of SOW and
pigs in winter are avoided. green food
can be had all winter, and also many
other advantages. When cared for the
health of the pig in the South is, per
haps, better than elsewhere. In producing
pork thore is an additional advantage be-
side that of profit-the soil Is enriched.
The extent of enrlching in this experi-
ment is shown in the following table of
yields from the SOIL where sorghum. pea
nuts, oats and sweet potatoes grew for
the pigsa
Effect of different crops that were
grown In pork experiment on the Yield
OF a succeeding corn crop:
Yield corn on COW pea stubble after oats
SL4 bushels per acre; yield corn on pea
nut land, 1853 bushels per acre: Weld
corn on sorghum land 22.6 bushels peF
acre; yield corn on sweet potato land.
POT bushels per acre.
After the oats were cut COW peas were
planted and cut i for hay. The peanuts
were gathered in by the pigs, but the
manure was not returned 10 the soil. The
sorghum should, however, be fed on tho
soil that grew 1t. The sweet potatoes
were dug, as the pigs did not fatten on
them as those did on peanuts The vine
less variety was planted. The influence
Of these several crops on a succeeding
crop Is very interesting. The peanuts
made pork at the rate of one and one
third pounds per day per pig and then
in addition improved the soil fully one
third.
