ONE ECLIPSE IN JERSEY.
How 1t Was Received by the People
Century Back.

When, on the 10th of September, 1892,
the gay morning was suddenly overcast,
and a black curtain was drawn over
the bright sun, the people of Jersey,
working in the fields, vraicking among
the rocks, or knitting in their doorways,
stood aghast, and knew not what was
upon them. Some began to say the
Lords Prayer. Some, in superstitious
terror, ran to the secret hole in the
wall, to the chimney, or to the bedstead,
or dug up the earthen floor, to find
the stocking full of notes and gold,
which might perchance come with them
safe through any cataclysm, or start
them again in business in another
world. Some began tremblingly to sing
hymns, and a few to swear freely.
These latter were mostly carriers, whose
salutations to one another were main
ly oaths because of the extreme mar
rowness of the island roads, and sail
ors, to whom profanity was a daily
bread. = Men and women, with
their breakfasts still in their mouths,
mumbled in terror to one another. A
woman shrieked that the day of judg-
ment was come, and instinctively

stopped, whimpering, to the stream
running from the Rue d'Egypte, and
began to wash his face.
A dusk came down like that over Pom
peii and Herculaneum. The gray stone
walls of the houses grew darker and
darker and seemed to close in on the
diemayed, terrified, hysterical crowd.
Here some one was shouting the word
of command to an imaginary company
of militia; there an aged crone was
offering without price simneis and
black butter as a sort of Precipitation
for an imperfect past; and from a win
dow a notorious evil liver was calling
out in a frenzied voice that she had
heard the devil and the witches from

at Frances, but those were Just after
she "broke" with Randy Merriam and
married McLane. but Fan had wheedled
her out of this unfayorable mood and
convinced her that she had never really
cared for Mr.. Merriam, who, somehow,
failed to inspire her with that feeling
of respect, even reverence, which she
felt was due the man she married;
whereas Mr.. McLane was a gentleman
of such dignity and force of character
that she seemed powerless in his pres
ence, and his love was the sweetest fat
terry, the most surprising, thrilling jov
she had ever known. Not until he came
did she dream what love really meant,
and then it was duty, it was justice, it
was honor that compelled her to release
Mr.. Merriam. Had she married him she
would have gone to the altar with lie
on her lips, for she loved another.
Grafton said nothing, but seemed to be
thinking a good deal, and it was plain
that he did not thoroughly approve of
the tickle Frances. When, however, Mer-
Ram surprised everybody at the Point
by his marriage to Floy Tremaine,
Grafton concluded it was time to dror
the matter.

said he.
"You did, dear, when first spoke Of
it, and so did I. I didn't think it would
do at all, but Fan talked so frankly
about Mr.. Merriam and the lovely time
they'd had together on the Pacific coast
with him and his charming bride
and how he and she had laughed over
their affair at the Point and agreed that
it would have been absurd, and now
they were such good friends, and she'd
had such a sweet, sympathetic message
from Mrs. Merriam after her sad, sad
bereavement-why, what more was TO
be said"
Grafton listened rather grimly. He
was many years older than his wife, as
has been said, and much less credulous.
Again the same uneasy presentiment
oppressed him. ST don't think she
should come here, Harrie," he gravely
said. Anywhere else, perhaps, I could

LESSON FRoM ABROAD
How the Work of Forest PreseFvaf
ton Il Carried on Systemat-
IcaIly In Germany.

A correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord tells about the way trees are
guarded in Germany. The German
governments tries to keep about 25 per
cent. of the land in trees, and this re-
suits in beautiful park-like forests. es-
pecially along the hills and mountains
and other rough lands that could not
be agriculturally cultivated.
There is a minister of forests in the
cabinet, and the whole empire is di-
vided into districts, each one presided
over by a director, who ranks the same
as a colonel in the army. This man
must be a graduate of one of the four
established schools of forestry in the
empire and must hold degree from a
university. Each of these districts is
again divided into smaller areas, over
which is an inspector, who ranks as a
captain. his rule extending over sew
eral townships. in each of which is a
head forester with several assistants
all of whom must be men educated for
this service.
These officers have charge of all the
forest growth of the country, public
and private. Parks. gardens, pleasure
grounds. streets and bouievards are
all under their jurisdiction. and not q
tree in the empire but is subject &c
their dictum. They see that all public
grounds are kept in order. direct what
trees may or shall be cut. and if any
man fells a tree without being given
permission to do so he is subject to a
heavy penalty
Every land owner must keep a Ger
tain proportion of his land in trees.
which must be planted and cared for
under the supervision of the head for
ester. Fruit trees on public or pri-
waite grounds are subject to the same
close supervision.
1t might be well if some such super
vision were possible in this country.
but our only hope for forest preserva-
ton is in making it popular by con-
tinued agitation and higher education

Mistaken Generosity.

Because il is easier TO milk when
the cows bag is full and full stream
will flow, and also because the saliva
in the calf's mouth makes milking IN
pleasant for the mixer. it is the habit
of many farmers TO draw what milk
they want for the house and let the
calf take what is left. This is a mis-
taken generosity on the part of the
farmer, and tends TO ruin the cow, as
by the time the calf gets 70 the strip
pings it is tired of sucking. and viii
never drain-cut the last drop. - the
good mixer always does.-Dakota

CROPS IN ORCHARDS.
Don't Plant Any That Mature Their
Seeds During the Growing
Season of the Trees.

What crop can we grow in young
orchard without injury to the trees?
was asked in an exchange and was an
swered thus by A. B. Wood: If you
have plenty of other ground on which
to grow cultivated crops. don't grow
anything but your trees and care for
them just the same IS though they
were a corn crop instead. Many are
not so situated that they can devote
the entire land to trees, but must grow
something to pay for the use of the
ground till the trees yield fruit. Then
comes the question again: What can
1 grow, then, which will not be in
furious to growth of my trees? In
onehalf of my first peach orchard 1
set strawberries the first year. and on
the other half l grew beans and sweet
corn. The trees on the first half near
ly died. though l cultivated and fer
tiliZed thoroughly. using unleached
ashes and rotted stable manure lib
orally; the other half grew nearly
double the size of the former in the
first two years. besides the trees were
much healthier.
This taught me not to grow any
crop which matured its seed during
the growing season of the trees See
ing my mistake, though TOO late, / i'm
mediately plowed under the berry
vines and devoted the ground entirely
to the trees The result was surprising,
for the trees seemed to lake new life
and made more growth the next sea-
son than in both the former ones,
though they have never been able to
catch up with those where the beans
and corn grew
