DRAINING A SLOPlNG GARDEN.
 hard under the influence of the sun. Surface drainage is but a makeshift. A friable, ideal condition of the ground condition in which plants can do their best-is rarely obtained except by under draining. Where the kitchen garden is the bottom of the plat, where the ground is lowest, will often prove a splendid paying investment. The best way to arrange such drain is shown in the accompanying illustra- tion.
 It is dug to the required depth to es- cape frost and tile laid at the bottom, though a stone capped opening may be used if the tile are not available. Above this opening loose stones are filled in to height that will just escape the blow. Such a drain must of course have an outlet into lower ground, when the gar den will give up its surplus water with great readiness and subsequent droughts and fioodings be greatly mitigated in their effects, for a condition of the soil that permits surplus water to drain off readily makes it possible for water to be drawn up from the depths below when the surface soil needs it.
 There may be gardens that would not be benefited by good underdrain, but l have yet to become acquainted with one of this sort, says a writer in Amer ican Gardening, from which the fore going is reproduced.

ShfppinR Bees.

We do not like to ship bees without an opening at the bottom of the hive, writes a contributor to The American Bee Journal. As matter of course, in double bottom hive it is out of the question to give them air in this way. But this may be remedied by larger opening at the top. We never put wire cloth over the entrance, because we have often noticed that the bees, being accustomed to flying out at that spot, will fret themselves to death, and their dead bodies will soon obstruct that en- trance, so that it might as well be closed. When the air comes from the bottom, there is more chance for cir culation. In warm May weather, with single wall hives, we have often ship ped bees by covering the entire brood chamber with wire cloth, protected by q board raised two inches above it and cleated on the hive. The cap or cover which accompanies the hive is then shipped separately.

EavorIte Peas.

The Rural New Yorker may be con- sidered en authority on peas, having tested nearly every kind of pea from year to year for 20 years. Following are extracts from its experience: The Daisy pea (Carter's Daisy) was first tried at The Rural grounds during the season of 1896. Our report was that the vines grew two feet high, leaves large, pods large. broad and we'll filled with about eight large seeds. We then re- garded it as the best dwarf or half dwarf pea tried that season. The pods are larger than those of any other vari- ety we have ever tried.
 Juno was tried during the season of 1896. The vines then grew to two feet

It was more prolific than the old favorite, Stratagem. Last season the vines grew to the height of three feet. The pods average three inches, straight, averag ing eight seeds.
 New Life was tried for the first time in the season of 1896. We quote from our report of that year: "The most pro- ductive pea and, all things considered, the most valuable pea for home or for market of it's season that we have tried. !"
 The seeds last year were planted April l, and the first picking was made June 30. "No more vigorous vines than these and those of Juno; best peas ever tried at The Rural grounds.

A storm such as had never swept the coast of England or aroused the ocean, swooped upon the Spanish armada. Most of the ships soon went down un- der the sea, while others were driven helplessly along to be splintered on the coasts of England, Ireland, Scotland and Norway. Another Spanish armada is crossing the Atlantic and we are ready to meet it. The same God who destroyed the armada in 1888 reigns in 1898.

Advantage of the Hudson to New York.


Reasoning Out Metropolis" is the
title of an article on the Greater New
York written by Ernest Ingersoll for st.
Nicholas. In sreaking Of the growth Of
cities during the early part of the CEN
fury Mr.. Ingersoll says:
How could New York double its pop
ulation in 10 years and beat its great
rival Philadelphia when the latter was
surrounded by far wider belt of rich
farms and populous towns?
1t was due primarily to the fact that
Robert Fulton. brought here his steam
boat and that New York men knew how
to take advantage of the invention.
Philadelphia also had the steamboat,
you will reply. Yes, but she did not
have the Hudson river.
The Hudson had from the first been
an advantage to New York because it
afforded highway for 100 miles inland
and thus had greatly aided in the early
settlement of the interior Of the state
and Of western New England. BY the
| improvement of the stes -nboat river
| travel at once became 80 cheap and
speedy that the country dealers and the
farmers themselves could go straight
down to New York to buy goods or do
their shopping at first hand. This
brought great deal of new business,
both wholesale and retail, to New York,
some of which was taken away from its
rival cities.
| Moreover, the steamboats, and tow
boats lessened the cost of bringing
building materials, grain, hay, meat
and all the country grown food found
in city markets and therefore lessened
the expense and increased the comfort
| of living and working here.

Just Like Her.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. came to town the
other day. The madam is large, mus
cular looking woman and is evidently
the boss of the ranch, while Mr.. j. is q
cowed, effeminate looking creature who
seems to be afraid when the madam is
around. While Mrs. j. went into Gold
namer's to do some shopping the little
man slipped off to Bells to get drink.
While he was down there he heard the
telephone ring and inquired what it
was. The mysteries OF the instrument
were explained, and Mr.. Bell offered to
call ND his wife at Goldnamer's and let
him talk to her. This seemed to please
him very much, but just as he got the
trumpet to his ear the lightning struck
the wire and knocked him down. Stag
gering to his feet he said: That's her.

Sergeant Joyce Says Dogs Are Better Than

Sergeant Joyce of the Klondike police
arrived at Vancouver, b. O., recently
direct from Big Salmon, Yukon, as a
messenger from Governor Walsh OF the
Klondike. He bears sealed dispatches
from Governor Walsh to the Canadian
government touching the international
customs regulations and boundary Ques-
lions.
Joyce says the trails are good and 20
miles day can be made with 400
pounds on a sledge. He says that in
spite of reports to the contrary no man
is allowed to cross the Canadian border
unless he has provisions for one year,
and that many Americans and Canadi-
ans have already been turned back by
the police.
Joyce said he passed hundreds of men
travelling to Lake Bennett and making
good progress. He says dogs alone can
be used, and the three cars of reindeer
arriving on the coast from Lapland are
OF no use. being too big and clumsy. -

REMARKABLE TOWNS.
One In England That Ii Made OF Railway
Carriages.

One In England That In Made OF Railway
Carriages.
Scattered throughout the area of
Great Britain are numerous towns and
villages of a curious character. One
large village actually consists Of old
railway carriages, even the little mis-
sion chapel being built out of four large
horse trucks. Another village. with a
population Of /, 100 and a ratable value
of e8, 900, has neither church, chapel
nor school, the only public edifice being
pillar letter box.
Villages with single inhabitant are
not unknown. At Skiddaw, in Cumber-
land, there is solitary householder,
who cannot vote because there is no
overseer to prepare voters list and no
church or other public building on
which to publish one, while the only
ratepayer in certain rural Nortl am
berland parish has recently declined ~
bear the expense Of repairing road be-
cause he considers it quite good enough
for himself.
In the isle of Ely there is a little
parish which has been somewhat con-
temptuously described as "a portion Of
land, with three or four houses and per-
haps 10 inhabitants. This place has
no roads at all and is consequently put
to no expense in keeping them in repair.
AS matter of fact, there are no ex-
penses of any kind and no rates.
One Of the most remarkable villages
in this country is Kempton, near Bed
ford. which is seven miles long and ex-
tremely struggling. To walk from one
end of the village to the other occupies
two hours.
Sometimes whole villages will prac-
tically disappear. A little Shropshire
village has gradually sunk, until now
it is almost out of sight. 1t is built on
a disused coal pit, and the sinking goes
on steadily every year. Now and then
a tottering house is propped up to keep
it standing, but in spite of all precau-
lions buildings are constantly falling to
the ground, and in course of time doubt
less nothing will be left but a few
bricks to mark the spot where a village
once stood.
There are plenty of deserted villages
throughout the country. A diversion OF
trade into other channels is sometin es
sufficient to produce this effect. Not
many years ago the proprietors of an
iron works at townlet near Sheffield,
being unable to obtain certain conces
sions from railway company, removed
their works. Shortly afterward half the
place was to let, and the windows Of
many of the houses were boarded up

Stopping the Interest.

Daniel Webster once dined with an
old Boston merchant, and when they
came to the wine dusty old bottle was
carefully decanted by the servant and
passed to the host. Taking the bottle,
he filled Webster's glass and handed it
to him. Then, pouring out another for
himself, he held it to the light and said:
"How do you like it, Mr.. Webster"
II think it is a fine specimen OF old
port"
Nov, can you guess what it cost
me?" asked the host.
"Surely not, +" said Webster. II only
know that it is excellent.

When l add the interest to the first
price, find that it cost me the sum Of
just shillings per glass. F"

remark:

Valuable Pottery.

An interesting story is told Of Lady
Helen de Hangest-Genlis, who started
small pottery ON her estate, chateau OF
Orion, about 1924. In this factory was
made the famous Faience d'Oiron. She
was widow, cultured and very artistic.
A collection of her crayon portraits is
said to have been preserved, but it was
in the manufacture of china that she
made name for herself. Not more than
90 pieces of Faience d'Oiron are now
known to be in existence. All of them
are small, but of surprising beauty.
They are supposed to have been made
as gifts for friends. They have an inlaid
ornament of interlacing bands or scrolls,
arabesques and geometrical forms of
tinted clays, yellow and brown, relieved
with soft colors ON cream white
ground, forming a smooth surface and
covered with a soft glaze. Anna

as she could recover strength enough to
