DRAINAGE FOR FARMS.
Introduced at a Comparatively
Small Expense.

Quite often tile drains do not come
up to expectations. The term of their
usefulness is much shorter than the
durable nature out of which the tile
are made would indicate. In soft or
quicksandy gronnd they are apt to
get out of line. AT places the line of the
drain may come near the surface. At
such places and at the outlet tile are
apt to be crumbled by freezing, unless
they are vitrifed, which adds much to
their cost. In common with all kinds
Of drains they are, more or less, liable
TO become choked with roots or silt or
injured by the presence Of vermin.
There is scarcely farm but needs
drainage and were it more generally

us could Face Death on n BattIeship
But Was Defeated and und0ne
by His Enemy Rum.

When the report Of the loss Of the
Maine reached this country the ac'
count was given also Of the dauntless
courage with which the officers and
sailors met the disaster. One man.
while the thunder Of the explosion was
still sounding in his ears, appeared at
the door Of Capt Sigsbee's cabin and.
touching his cap, said. calmy:
Excuse me. sir; have to report that
the ship has blown up. and is sinking.
He had faced an almost certain death
in order to save the captains life.
When the story was told, the heart
Of the nation responded with a proud
throb. Every American felt honored
bv the courage and coolness Of his coun
tryman, and reioiced that by some
happy chance he was among the few
who were saved.
His after story is brief, and as II has
been told in an the daily journals there
can be no indelicacy in reciting 1t here.
He was a marine orderly on the
Maine. a gallant. generous, friendly
Young fellow. who had but one enemy
himself. lie drank to excess. After
the destruction Of the Maine he came
10 this country. and was received with
praise and affection as a hero. His
friends gathered around him; he mar
ried. and soon had another position
He loved his work. his friends and his
wife; but not work nor friends nor
home could drag him away from the
fatal habit.
Not two years after that day when,
a hero among heroes. he trod the deck
of the sinking ship, he sat alone in a
public park i'm New York, a miserable
outcast. who for liquor had given upali
that made life dear. Mad with want
and despair. he kissed the picture OF
his child. and put an end to his life
a life which God had fitted him to make
happy and noble.
We tell this story TO American Young
men. as we would point out a beast Of
prev hidden by the path along which
they must walk.-Youth's Companion.

Imaginary wrongs are always based
on imaginary rights.
When a man is in a bad light his
faults always show plainest.

truth is sometimes as bad as lie.
Life is worth living as long as there
Is anybody alive worth loving.
A military man who always wears
