street, and some boys called out. "Tom-

had made the circuit Of the block and
reached the spot from which 1t started,

AS she came through the back gate,
wet ana bedraggled, holding her doll,
from whose cheeks the bloom had for
ever departed, her aunt appeared on the

"tor PHYS sakes, child, whatever has

Don't soil your apron, for you know
you want it fresh for cousin Hattie"
"Ill be careful" called out Marguer-
tie, picking up her doll and running
into the yard.
She was elated with the thought OF
going out alone On the city streets,
What would the girls say when she got
home and told them that her aunt had
trusted her to do errands for her! She
was impatient to be off.
THE first big store after you cross
the street car track" she repeated to
herself, wheeling her doll up and down
the little plot of grass. She thought of
the FIVE cents her uncle had given her
that morning for candy, and wished
her aunt would hurry.
Suddenly brilliant thought came in
to her mind. While she was waiting,
she would tie the go-cart to the funny
wagon by the back gate and ride
around the block! She had heard the
driver tell some one that he would be
beck in two or three minutes-just as
soon as ne finished the block, what
ever that meant.
She did not stop to take her doll out
but. hurriedly pushing the cart out
before her. slipped out Of the gate. ani

pcned to be tied around the handle.

Oh the SOFT blue waves OF the southern
sea
Are laughing beneath the stars,
And the moonlight whitens the shining
sands
Tossed upon the coral bars,
Hut the sentry shive"s with righteous
dread.
AS he stands in the frowning tower
ana measures the tine, as the night
With the wasting Of Spanish power.
And the soft blue waves OF the southern
Sea
Laugh merrily as they feel
Inc unfolding caress of q swift young
AND the force OF it's arms of steel;
but the quivering form of the sentry
sways
In the grip Of q mighty fear.
And the frowning granite grows ashen
gray
AS the hurrying morn draws near.
Oh, the soft blue waves OF the southern
sea
Are flashing with glad white stars
That are dashing their luminous purity
Ger silver and crimson bars;
Ana the sentry reads on the rising tide.
AS II Iashes the groanins walls,
Inc message Of angcred Destiny
Condcnnin;s the pride that falls.
And the soft blue waves Of the southern
sea
Shall reach with their kind embrace.
And wash from the ruins Of tyranny
ForeVer each cruel trace.
And the sentry-gone from his CHASTITY

In pen!tcit dreams shall see
The flowers OF freedom enwreathine the

That IS what It seems to be.

Partly Analysed Soils.

The analysis of soils is OF q good
deal of Importance to the farmer ana
yet no analysis can tell exactly what
a soil will do or what it most needs.
BY chemical analysis we get certain
results. The test shows the chemicals
that compose the soil but 1t does not
show the humus and ready plant food.
Thus two soils might analyze exactly
alike and yet one Of them might be
q productive and the other an unpro-
ductiye soil. One might be rich in
humus and the other contain no hui
mus. In one the available nitrogen
might be large, while in the other
there might be no available nitrogen.
The analysis of soils Is thing that
should be carried on to greater ex-
tent than at present, but we must not
look for too great results from it. One
Of the best analyses Of soils is that
made by the actual plants. Knowing
the needs OF different plants we can
largely determine the character Of me
soil by the relative growth OF the
plants.
The partly analyzed soil may yet be
of great use to the farmer who has to
buy commercial fertilizer, as he can
determine the kind of chemical fer
tilizer to use in the largest quantities.
But a systematic growing Of certain
plants will give him very full stock
of information as to the actual supply
Of plant food in his ground. This is
particularly the case with varieties of
the same plant. Take for instance the
strawberry. 1t is our experience that
some varieties do well on clay soil,
while others will simply do nothing on
such soils. The farmer that tries but
one variety of plant on his ground
cannot know that he is getting the one
that will give him the best results.
