The Ground Ia Alive.

We are so used to thinking of the soil
as mere mineral matter that it comes
quite as "a shock to find this is a mistake.
AS a matter of fact, the layer of soft
mold which clothes the ground in all
cultivable districts and from which
vegetation springs is actually in great
part living layer of tiny plants and
animals.
Interlacing threads of molds and
fungi, worms and grubs, creeping in
sects, tiny root parasites, deoaying
leaves and the millions of bacteria
which spring from them-all these are
mixed and mingled together for many
inches down below our feet in con-
fused mass of life. Germs of all sorts
swarm in countless millions.
Indeed, all the plants that grow and
life that exists on the face of the earth
owe their being to the fact that the
ground is alive. You take shovelful of
the finest soil in the world and sterilize
it-that is, beat it till all the life in it
is destroyed-and then plant seeds in it,
No amount of care or watering will
make those seeds grow. Their life de-
ponds on the life in the soil around them

VERY QUEER NAME.
Maine Boy Christened "A Godsend LUZ
kin" by Mistake of a Clergyman.

kim by Mistake of a Clergyman.
A Godsel Lufkin of this village has
the distinction of owning the queeress
name in Maine He got 1t through .
mistake of the clergyman who ohristen'
ed him,
Godsend's grandfather. old Peleg
Lufkin, owned about all the wild land
in the town. When he died, he left his
property to his four boys in trust, the
whole Of it to 60 to the first grandson
who should come into the world At
that time none of the boys was mar
ried, but they at once remedied this
fault, every one taking wife inside OF
wear from the time the will OF their
father was made. Six years after his
wedding the wife Of George Lufkin
presented to him a son, who was entitled
to the great estate under the terms OF
the will 1t was agreed that the boys
mother should bestow the name, but
she neglected to tell the minister about
it before the party had assembled in
the church Then when the clergyman
asked what name he should bestow the
child father spoke up and said:
II think you'd better call him q god
send, because he has proved that to my
family"
The words spoken in jest were taken
in earnest by the clergyman. who pro-
ceeded to formally christen the boy as
"A Godsend Lufkin," name which he
bears today As he got nearly 500, 600
worth of property along with his name
he Is trying to stand it,-New York
