CHILDREN's COLUMN.

johnny whippen's New Watch.
Johnny Whippen wanted watch on bis
birthday and wanted everybody to know
breakfast, lunch and dinner he told his
father, mother, sisters and brothers how
he yearned for the timepiece.
His persistent harping on the matter
finally became unbearable to the other
members of the family. When Johnny
mentioned the word watch" they be-
came severely silent. But Johnny kept
right on. ,.
One evening he was sitting in the draw
ing room with his father and concluded 1t
was good opportunity to do a little lob
bying for himself.
"Say, pa"
"Pa" laid down his paper on the table
and looked sternly at the boy over his
spectacles.
"Now, Johnny, am going to put my
foot down on any more Of this watch lk.
You are making life burden for t. rest
of us. So, If you were intending to ask
me about the watch, you had better not
say anything further. Don't let me hear
the word again" -
Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated.
It was the custom ia the Whippen family
for each member to quote verse OF Scrip
ture at family worship each morning.
The day following Mr.. Whippen's ulti-
matum the family met for worship. It
was Johnny's turn to quote verse. BE
waited until he was sure all present were
attentive, and then he slowly repeated
with great emphasis the following verse:
"What say unto you say unto all,
Watch" -...' ..
Johnny wears 1t in his top vest pocket.

Learn This Fact.

The body is constantly trying to
throw off waste matter. This waste
matter is intended by nature, to be ia
ken care of and carried off by the bow
els, the kidneys, and the myriads OF
pores of the skin. If the towels do
not move daily or oftener 1t the kid
neys are not flushed by generous
draughts of pure water, drunken mid
way (not during) meals if the pores
of the skin are not kept open, then the
waste matter, which should be thrown
off, is ccoped up in the system and poi
sons it.
1t is often offered as an argument
against the necessity of daily baths
that our ancestors had no bath tubs,
and bathed infrequently, but they
were much in the position of laborers
Of to-day.
Their active lives, the coarse clothes
they wore, the coarse food they ate,
simple lives they led, the pure air they
breathed, etc., all contributed to keep
their bodies frictioned into state OF
health.

CRIMSON CLOVER.
The Way TO Make 1t Grow on Barren
Land.

The Way TO Make 1t Grow on Barren
Land.
In those regions of country where
none of the other clovers have been
grown, crimson clover will not grow
to any profit. 1t is now we'll estab-
lished that the clovers and other
legumes thrive only when some
mIcrobe forms tubercles on their roots,
these microbes in some way enabling
the plant 10 appropriate the free nitro
gen of the air. Where clovers have
never grown these clover microbes are
not present in the sol. Hence prac-
tice, originated in Germany but now
developing in this country, consists in
inoculating the soil with these mi
crobes. A substance called "nitragin"
is put up in bottles in Germany and
imported to this country and sold to
inoculate soils. A bottle costs about
S2.25, and will inoculate about a half
acre Of land. 1t is liable to become
worthless in the long transit, and q
surer plan is to obtain earth from a
clover field and SOW down land with
it-about q ton to the acre-or else
mix it with water, drain Off the water
and soak the clover seed in it before
sowing. One can inoculate a small
piece of land in this manner, and from
its soil the next year inoculate arge
area. II the experience of farmers in
your beighborhood proves that Grim
son clover will not grow with you it is
not advisable to attempt its cultivation
unless you inoculale the soil. Climate
is not the trouble, as crimson clover
grows through fall, winter and spring
when the weather is cool. In warm
climates red clover is killed by the
intense heat of midsummer. Under
the circumstances we know of moth
ing which you can sow for the pur'
pose named but rye or barley.

A Strange Pet.

Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept by q
man was a wasp which Sir John Lubbock
caught in the Pyrenees and resolved to
tame. He began by teaching it to take It's
meals on his hand, and in very short
space Of time it grew to expect to be fed In
that way. Sir John preserved this pet
with the greatest care. True, it stung him
once, but then it had every excuse for do
ing SO. Sir John was examining it while
on railway journey, and, the door being
opened by ticket collector, he uncere-
moniously stuffed it into bottle, and the
outraged Spaniard, not feeling quite at
home during the process, gave him gen.
