Photographs Like q Flash.

A Photographic camera capable of
taking picture in one-six- hundredth
part of a second, or even less time, is
being made by Chicago firm for the
Smithsonian institution at Washington.
This wonderfully rapid instrument is
expected to be the fastest camera in ex-
istence, and it is believed that in excep-
tional cases it will register a picture
impression in one-thousandth part of a
second, or in one-half the time required
to make an exposure. in any previously
constructed camera. AS an example of
the remarkable power of the instrument
the point is cited that it will take a
picture Of an arrow speeding through
the air while the bowstring is still
quivering. The instrument was de-
signed by William Gaertner, former
employee of the Smithsonian institu-
ton.

Grasses For Pasture.

The best time to SOW all grasses is
when the seed is ripe, says the st. Louis
Republic. That is natures method. But
we are mindful that at that time there
may be "dry spell' and the seeds,
lven if they terminated, would perish
All the grasses named may be sown in
the spring or about this time. We can
not give proportions because there is
such difference of opinions. For
meadow we would SOW about 10 quarts
each Of timothy and clover or orchard
grass and clover per acre. Some farmers
use less of the clover, but our advice is
to put in plenty of seed. Blue grass is
very light, say about IA pounds per
bushel. Be careful and cover grass seeds
very lightly, if at all Do not harrow
the land. If the land is in fine condi-
tion, light brush harrow may be used.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT.
A Brave Young Sailor-Jolly Helen Kel-

The "History of Cohasset" contains
the following true story about plucky
boy who knew what he wanted to do
and was determined to do it. In May,
1859, the schooner Georgiana was on
fishing cruise along the coast between
Cape Cod and Montauk Point, Long Is
land. While she was lying to at night
the bark William Lord, bound for Bos-
ton from Baltimore, struck her amid
ships and STAYED in her bulwarks The
crew of 16 were reused from their sleep
and rushed on deck. They were certain
that their own craft was about to sink.
and so they climbed upon the bark.
The vessels soon freed themselves, and
then it was discovered that Andrew b.
Prouty, a boy of 10, had been left on
board the schooner. No one dreamed Of
rescuing him, for the schooner had dis
appeared, and it was naturally supposed
that she had sunk. So the captain of
the bark took the rescued crew to
Holmes Holl, near New Bedford.
But the schooner had not sunk. She
was manned and mastered by one fright
ened boy of 10, alone upon the black
ocean. For two days and two nights he
foated there, unhailed, steering his
prize toward what he thought must be
the shore.
A whaleship, returning to New Bed
ford, overlook the strange looking craft
and boarded her to see what was the
matter. When the skipper learned the
state of things, he offered the boy 500
to abandon the schooner, but the boy
knew better than to let another come
into possession of his prize.
''No, sir, said he, ''this vessel be-
longs to John Bates. and I'm going to
take her ashorel"
He did take her ashore. and there, at
New Bedford, he found the rest Of the
crew.

HIS HEALTH POOR.

Such Is the Inference Drawn From Re-
cent Cablegrams of Admiral Dewey.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Judging from the
wording of cablegram received from
Admiral Dewey by the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association the health of the
admiral, despite medical assurance to
the contrary, is none of the best and to
this fact is due his probable return by
way of the Suez canal instead of the
Pacific coast route. The message is as
follows:
.'Many thanks. Impossible to accept
invitation now. Condition of health
necessitates rest and quiet"
The cablegram was in reply to one
sent by the association asking the ad-
miral to become its guest upon his re-
turn to this country and strongly urg-
ing upon him the advisability of coming
by way of San Francisco and across the
continent.
NEW YORK, May 15.-The committee
of the board of transportation which
had extended an invitation to Admiral
Dewey to attend dinner at any date
he might accept has received a cable

which he states it will be impossible to
accept the invitation, adding:
Condition of health demands rest

Once had quiet study,
All cozy, cool and small.
A mushroom formed her table,
A messy stone her chair,
A hummingbi bright feather
Her quill of pattern rare.
With dewdrops from berry
She daintily would write
The fairy tales of fortune
On daisy petals white,
And one could ne'er imagine
Such plots she'd weave and blend
Till the last leaf was finished
How any tale would end.
30 pleasing are her stories,

And little lads and maidens
Still linger, as they pass,
To read with wistful glances
The daisies in the grass.
