AN ERROR In PUNCTUATIoN.-
ancient church, dedicated to the pious
memory of Saint Helena, who, tradi
tion saith, went to Jerusalem, my
happy home," and found the true
cross at Helland, is a comfortable
hours walk from Bodmin town. The
rector, good sort of fellow, had q
touch of rheumatics awhile since, and
was recommended to use the waters at
Bath, says the Christian Adviser. So
there he went. But Saturday came
round, and no "supply" for Sundays
pulpit could be found. At the last
moment, however, and after the rector
had been wired to return, a worthy
cleric named Smith, who had come to
Bodmin as witness in an assire case,
volunteered his services as locum
tenens. So another telegram was dis
patched in haste to. Bath to stay the
invalid from coming back. 1t was
handed in at the Bodmin Office, and
read thus:
"Smith has gone to Holland. You
stop where you are"
When the messenger boy handed the
orange-envelope epistle to his rever-
ence at the other end, the latter tore
it open and read with astonishment:
"Smith has gone to He'll and you
stop where you are"

NECESSARY SLEEP For INFANTS
In a series of parlor talks given to
young mothers, by skilled physician,
a number of practical suggestions,
were laid down regarding the sleep
necessary for infants and growing chill
dren. Never wake child unless alb
solutely necessary. Good sleep is a
necessity if health and growth are to
be maintained. A healthy normal
baby will sleep 1S out of "a hours,
which gradually diminishes, until at
two wears Is out of "a hours will suf-
fee. This amount of sleep is gradual.

out of the "a should be spent in bed.
The midday nap for babies is most de-
sirable. At this time they should be
entirely undressed and put to bed.
After the fourth or fifth year children
will not sleep in the daytime. In re-
gard to child's bed, good spring
bed, a hair mattress and blankets not
too heavy should be provided. A
feather bed should never be permitted,
only when a child is exceptionally del
icate and difficult to keep warm. 9th.

should be put to sleep in a comporta-
BILE room, not too warm. If possible,
they should always sleep by them
selves, and never in any case with a
sick person.

Cows FRESH TWICE A YEAR.
This seems like big yarn, but you
can prove the truth of it on your own
farm if you have a pea patch. Oul
COWS came in fresh last year and in
February this year when the pastures
became dry and the grass tough, the
COWS failed; until September 1 they
were giving very little milk. About
that time, both last year and this, We
tethered them on the pea patch, when
the flow of milk increased till they
gave as much as when with young
calves. Caution: Don't turn the COW
loose on a pea field neighbor did so
and in few hours his cow had eaten
enough to kill her. Now, friends, il
you don't believe in the value of peas,
just try them.-W. r. Lambeth, in

BEST WAY TO MAKE LEMONADE
The best lemonade is made by boiling
sugar and water together aud adding
the lemon juice after it is cold. Use
one pound of sugar to each quart OF
water; add the juice of six lemons
and the desired quantity of water at
serving time. Pineapple lemonade
may be made by boiling together one
quart of water, one pound of sugar
and the grated rind of one lemon for
five minutes. Strain when cold, add
the Juice of six lemons, one pineapple
pared and picked into very small par
ticles, and either a quart of water or

WILLING TO QUIT.-A good story is
told of an interview of w. H. H
Bingham with one of the state board
ers at Windsor. Some of the prison.
ers were at work lathing the guard
room during a recent official visit Of
the governor, and the latter was in.
specting the progress of the work.
After contemplating the process for a
few minutes, Governor Bingham re-
marked "See here, my man, you are
laying those laths too near together
that sort of work will never do" The
prisoner calmly laid down his imple'
ments and said: "Governor, / am
willing to be turned off and discharged
if my work don't suit; 1 never applied
for this job or the situation, and if my
work isn't satisfactory, am willing tc
quit" This offer was not accepted.

author of "Little Breeches" that he is
almost as sorry it was ever written as
is Colonel John Hay, who would pre-
fer his fame to rest on more ambitious

prided herself upon her literary tastes,
said to him once:

CLAY PEASE AS FERTILIZERS.
Fine Method of Preparing Land For a
| Wheat Crop.

Fine Method of Preparing Land For a
Wheat Crop.
Excessive rains followed by dry
weather have resulted in deadening
and hardening much of our soil, and
hence many farmers are hoping to
be able to plow up their unbroken
lands later on and plant pease, millet,
late corn, etc.
Throughout the agricultural king
dom many people have become quite
enthusiastic over the advantages oi
clay pease as fertilizer and forage
product. Should the month of June
bring rains sufficient to soften the earth
farmers would do we'll to plow their
unbroken lands and prepare for turn
ing under a green crop. The peavine
makes excellent winter feed, and Prof
Massey, North Carolina's most ad'
vanced agricultural writer, claims that
the value of the peavine for hay, fol
feed and the stubble turned under af'
ter moving off the vines is greater
than the entire crop turned under
There is much more value in this croE
than the average farmer seems to real
ize, judging from the small acreage
sown or planted. Hundreds of ton:
of commercial fertilizers are being used
in this country that might be left alone
| if farmers would only wake up and
begin in time for the crop of next year
A few are openingltheir eyes, and no"
find that cow pease cost them 81 pei

county passed through our town last
winter with wagon load of pease, Of
fering them at 40 cents per bushel
and doubtless these same pease are
now or have been, offered for 81 pei
bushel.
According to the teachings of oul
experienced farmers, both north ano
south, worn out lands may be brought
to life rapidly by growing the co"
pea. By sowing on your lands In

much profit will result. This should
be done some 10 or IL days before
planting the peas, however. Some
good authorities say apply acid phos

By this method of using fertilizers

assured.
