For q Very Good Reason.

The administration OF the German
Army is undoubtedly excellent. Per-
haps Americans would say ''stingy,"
but never mind that. By the strictest
economy it has been possible to keep
up big army, an efficient and u
healthy one, with considerably less
means than any other nation has re-
quired to do the same. One OF tho
reasons is that Prussia has the "oHer-
rechnungeskammer," the snperi'T
auditors ofice-an institution foun !
ed by the ultra economical father OF
Frederick the Great-which controls
every expense incurred, even the most
trihing farthlngs The reprimands OF
this institution are much dreaded ny
officers, and especially by paymasters.
II anything is found wrong long re-
ports have to be submitted, and it IS
astonishing what this "oberrechuung-
skammer' will find out A short timg
ago the commander of the Tenth Army
Corps at Hanover received query
from the auditors asking why the
broad streets of the camp at Muenster
had not been let ont to peasants for
cattle pasture when not IN use as q
camping ground. as is done with other
camps in Prussia. The General sent
the question TO the colnmandant OF the
camp at Muenster, whose witty vein
he knew. This General returned the
question to the 'oberrechnungskam-
mer" with no other comment than the
words on the margin Because III

Two brothers. aged respectively
twenty eight and twenty-five years.

struck by lightning and seem to have
fallen simultaneously out of the back

about five minutes after the flash lying
side by side on the road with the seat
of the dogcart under their legs and
the driving apron over them. Iarrived
from ten to fifteen minutes afterward.

found them both quite dead: the
bodies were lying in the road in the
same position as they were found
The elder brother had no external sign
of injury. The younger brother pre-
sented the following appearance: The
epidermis was burned over the chest
and abdomen, not continuonsly. but
in number of circular holes from
one-sixteenth Of an inch to a quarter
of an inch in diameter. The metallic
collar stud was fused and the skin
beneath was deeply burned. The
back from the neck to the small OF his
back was burned, but less severely
than in front The vest and shirt
were charrcd, but the waistcoat and
coat were uninjured The wooleu
underwear and trousers had q hole
burned in them about two inches IN
diameter correspondingly to burn on
the right hip. On the occiput there

were no other injuries 10 were any

was going and seems not to have been
masnetized, as it has kept good time
since. The cloth OF the cushion on
which the younger brother sat was

wooden seat beneath was unin)ured-

traces OF the lightning. ~

She Was Not Afraid.

She is rarely at loss for retort. and
it's cold day when she's caught nap

recently and was escorted by her
kinsman, Major Wright, Marshal Of
the United States Supreme Court, to
the chamber A seat was given her
directly under a large bust of Chief
Justice Marshall. AS she sat there
she said to Justice Harlan: That
man was my great-grandfather. JUS
tice Harlan turned on hearing this
aud whispered TO Chief Justice Fuller
"Do you see that little woman seated
under bust of John Marshall: 1t is

The Chief Justice smiled and looked
toward the little woman, and then
said: Tell her / am afraid the bust

Inexpensiye Farm Fencee,

I have been experimenting in farm
fencing for nearly half century, and
find that post and rail fences, where
the timber is at hand, are by far the
most satisfactory. I drive my posts
and dig no holes. In driving the posts
/ first take an iron crowbar, strike the
bar down through the gravel and stone
as far as desired, and then jerk it side
ways until quite an opening is formed.
The posts are put in place and man
with forty pound wooden maui will
soon have them down TO the y foot
mark, with comparatively little trouble,
when they will be found quite solid.
Begin ct the ground and lay worm
rail on stones or blocks, TO the right
and left Of alternate posts. This gives
the fence a slight worm. 4 stake
should then be pointed and driven in
opposite the .Iost next the worm rail.
SO as to stand parallel with it and
three or our inches from it. Place 4
wire land around the stake and post
;lst on top of the worm rail. These
wilEsapport the stake until two courses
of rails are laid, when another wire
band must beput into place. Continue
until you have the fence as high as
desired, and you will have fence that
will turn any kind OF stock, and last
as long as posts. The wire may be
Nc. 8 to Il, according to the size Of
the rails get good. strong pair OF
wire pliers and an iron bar. which are
all the tools we need, besides q maui
and trestle.
I thought at first that the tapering
posts would heave out badly in spring
! aud not be able TO withstand heavy
winds. Such, however, was not the
result. Driven posts stand bette,

The rails are kept we'll Of the ground.

Benefits of Decaying Vegetation.

The products of the decay Of the
vegetable matter furnished by green
manuring exert a very beneficial effect
upon the soil Among the most i'm
portant of these products is carbonic
acid. This acid helps to keep the
soil chemically active, that as, to
produce benefc chemical changes
which result in making more food
available. This acid, further, helps
largely TO dissolve the useful constit-
uents Of the soil, especially the limo
and phosphates, thus bringing them
within the reach of subsequent crops.
It also attacks the stones and rocks Of
the soil. helping to disintegrate them.
This action is especially important it
the case of oil rocks and stones con-
tanning lime.
The green manuring crop is useful,
furthermore, because while itoccupies
the land the conditions are more
favorable for those processes OF fer
mentation which exert beneficial in-
fuence upon the soil These pro-
cesses are favored by the shade fur
nished by the crop, by the restricted
circulation of the air and by the more
uniform soil temperature which the
occupying of the land by q crop
secures. The Incorporation of the
| vegetable matter of the green crop in
the soil may be the means Of warming
it. The darker color resulting from
| the presence of humus favors the ab-
sorption Of heat from the sun, and the
i process Of decay being in it's final
effect precisely like combustion by
fire, helps to raiTe the temperature OF
the soil. Professor w. p. Brooks, in
New England Homestead.

WISE WORDS.

It is the little words you speak, the
little thought you think, the little
things you do or leave undone, the
little moments you waste or use wisely,
the little temptations which you yield
to or overcome--the little things of
every day-that are making or mar
ring your future life.
There is great difference between
being in the world, and having the
wcrld in us. Let a ship be in the
water and it is all right, but let the
water be in the ship and down she
goes.
1t is a perfectly safe proposition
that without the thoughtfulness, which
is otherwise named tact, no one can
find the fullest measure of success and
pleasure in life.
Good breeding carries along with it
dignity that is respected by the most
petnlant. Ill breeding invites and
authorizes the familiarity of the most
timid
Some of the best lessons we ever
learn we learn from our mistak es@and
failures. The error of tho past is the
wisdom and success of the future.
We exaggerate misfortune and hap
piness alike. We are never either SO
wretched or so happy as we say we
are.
The highest point to which things
con bring one is contentment Of mind,
with which no estate is miserable.
Nothing is denied to we'll directed
labor, and nothing is ever to be at
tanned without it.

Relation Betw~c cn Hand " Ting and Shoes.


Angular handwriting, go much in
vogue few years ago, Is no longer
just the thing No longer is it neces~
sary for the up-to-date girl to send
three envelopes in order to get the en-
tire address Of her letter inscribed;
no longer does the one first word and
the one last word have each page TO
itself, with the signature left to the
imagination for lack Of other room; no
longer does the modern young woman
pride herself on the artistic ugliness
of her chirography. She may write

Some cynic, with time on bis hands
and a desire TO find out the hidden re-

made the remarkable discovery that
the angular handwriting and sharp
pointed shoes took their departure
about the same time. The connection
