DOG IN THE scHoOLRooaE
a Courageous Teacher who Found
That Her PupiIs Were Better
for His Presence.

Since DR.. Hale promulgated his plan
about pets in the public schools, I have
heard from several teachers who have
made experiments of this sort with
success, says the Boston Transcript.
One excellent teacher had an expert
ence with dog which was instructive.
One of her pupils. slum boy with a
bad reputation, had very ''ornery''
bull terrier which was sure to go every
where the boy did, and followed him to
school one day.
The boy arrived a little late with the
dog; the other children knew that the
pair were coming, and they were on the
alert for a scene. In came the boy with
the big bull terrier at his heels The
pupils held their hands to their mouths.

Lime as a Plant Food.

There is one kind of plant food that
gives good results on all soils; it en-
tiers into the composition OF all plants
and it is cheap, yet it is not given a
place in the list of fertilizers. It is
lime, and 1t is well known to farmers
as a valuable and useful agent for
promoting utility. But farmers who
use lime should not omit fertilizers,
as lime does not take the place OF
manure or fertilizers Il should he
applied IN the fall, but it is not too
late to give the land light dressing OF
lime in the early spring. It will show
good effects on both heavy and light
soils.

USING STRAW STACKS.
Every Farmer who Is Raising Small
Grain Has This Rather WeiEhty
Problem to Solve.

If he is a good farmer he will not
allow the stack to stand and rot down.
Aside from waste, there is nothing
about farm more unsightly than old
straw piles. A neat and energetic
farmer does not have them. He finds
a use for all the waste on his farm,
and therein lies the secret of success.
There is wealth and prosperity for the
man who utilities all the waste. The
way to use straw is as a feed. By the
usual method of stacking, it's value as
feed is very soon destroyed, however.
It is the common practice to put the
boys on the straw pile when threshing.
Such a thing as stacking the straw to
keep it is rarely thought of. The only
idea is to get it away from the machine
SO that the threshing may progress as
fast as possible. Well preserved
bright straw fed to cattle as a rough
feed would prove of great value.
It would prove of great value, also,
in the construction of sheds. A shed
made by piling straw around and over
framework of posts and poles is
much warmer than any shed that is
made of lumber. A Iean-to made of
straw, facing the south, where the
chickens can run and scratch on the
warm days OF winter, viii more than
pay for the trouble Of making it in
the number of eggs laid. As a bed
ding for cattle and horses, it can have
no superior. It readily absorbs the
LIQUID manure, which is the most vaIu-
able part, and is usually lost. It is
thus converted into a most valuable
fertilizer if hauled directly from the
barns to the fields. Nothing is then
lost. Z. Irwin, in Agricultural Epit-
omist.

Nine 2X4 joists, each nine feet long,

is then put on, and as the wax melts
it will strain through the sack and run
down through the spout into the lower
part. A common dishpan sets under
the spout to catch the wax. There is
a little water in the pan. The glass
will keep the wax hot all day. If any
dirt gets through the sack, it will set
tie at the bottom of the hot wax in
the pan, and when the wax is taken
out, next morning, it will be in the
shape of a beautiful cake, while all
the dirt will remain in the water. By
this method there is little bother and
no danger of the wax getting on fire
and endangering the house. The wax
is entirely free from foreign SUBJ
stances, and is first class in every re-

Clay opened school that very morn
ing, less than two hours after the
regular opening hour.
Finding Joshua's message, on their
return home, the two women met
again, shortly afterward, at the Sc
lectmen's room, at the specified hour,
but no Joshua appeared. Partly sur
missing the truth, and hugely enjoy
ing their advantage, they elected Miss
Clay permanent teacher, and fixed her
salary with due formality.
Joshua's emotions, when he drove
into town that evening with his inn
ported teacher, defy expression. The
story was soon noised about, and his
new defeat redoubled the former ridi-
cule. The upshot of the matter was
that he resigned from the board in
great indignation.
But that was not the end. At the
next town meeting, although still a
candidate for selectman, he was ig-

EDWIN MARKHAM'S LATEST
POEM.

Edwin Markham contributes to the Christmas
number OF Success the most remarkable poem
that he has written since ''Thc Man with the
Hoe" His new work is entitled 'The Mighty
Hundred Years. and it is story in strong,
forciblc, yet graceful and elegant verse, OF tho
world during the past century. The iollowihg
are a few stanzas, illustrating the growth OF the
world from the death OF the dark ages:
THE MIGHTY HUNDRED YEARS.
One mighty CLEAN, and old horizons broke!
All tho vast, glin,mering outline Of the Whole
Swan on the vision, shifting, at one stroke,
The ancient gravitation OF the soul.
All things came crcling in one cosmic dance.
One motion older than the ages are;
Swung by one Law, one Purpose, one Advance,
Serene and steadfast as the morning star.
Men trace the spacious orbits OF the Law,
And find II is their shelter and their friend;
For there, behind its mystery and awe,
Gods sure nand presses to Il blessed end,
And SO man pushes toward the Secret Vast
Up through the storm OF starsskies upon skies;
And down through eireling atoms, nearing fast
The brink OF things, beyond which Chaos lies.
Yea, in the shaping of grain of sand,
Tie sees the law that made the spheres to be
Sees atom-worlds spun by the Hidden Hand,
10 whirl about their small Alcyone.
With spell OF wizard Science ON his eyes,
And augment on his arm, he probes through
space;I
Or pushes @ck the low, unfriendly skies,
To feel the wind OF Saturn on his face
He walks abroad upon the Zodiac,
To weigh the worlds in balances, to fuse
suns in his ciucible, and carry back
The spheral music and the cosmic news.
