Quaint Actions and Bright Sayings
of Many Cute and Cunning Children.

| The Victoria Cross has been won on
three occasions my boys-in 1866, DUR
ing the Crimean campaign, by two
young members of the famous Naval
Brigade, and in 1867 when combined
fleet of British, French and Dutch ships
made war upon Japan, by a midship-
man of the Euryalus. The first of the
trio was Edward Daniels, who, when
the lyorses taking an ammunition wag-
on filled with powder were killed by a
shell, rushed out and headed a party
which safely brought in the ammuni-
ton under a rain Of bullets in which it
seemed impossible for anyone to live.
The second act Of bravery was per-
formed by a young boatswain, named
Sullivan, when the famous Malakoff
battery was taken. He took out a
flagstaff and placed it on a certain
mound which hid a Russian battery
from our gunners, having in so doing
trayersed the enemy'S line of fire. On
the mound he had to dig the hole for
the flagstaff with his fingers and pile
stones around it to keep it firm. His

they all aimed wide, and the man es-
capped to receive, in addition to the ia
nous cross, the French Legion of Hon
or. The act which won the Victoria
Cross for Duncan Boyes, the MILDLY of
the Euryalus, occurred when the COM
bined fleets landed a contingent of men
against the Japs. 1t was thought, how
ever, that the Britishers alone could
successfully tackle the situation, so the
French and Dutch were sent back,
whereupon a large body of japanese
came into view and made a determined
attack. The MILDLY, who was carrying
the cOlOrs with the leading company,
rushed ahead for some twenty yards
toward the defenses, as though about
TO attempt their capture single-handed.
He was called back and severely repri-
manded by his captain, but the spirit
Of daring he had displayed infected the
others, and as one man they followed
him and soon took the defenses. Boyes'
uniform was torn to rags by bullets, as
were also the colors he carried, but he
himself came out safe and sound, hav-
ing well earned his reward.-Navy and

The Feast of nnJJs-

Every girl in Toxic. from the tiny

selves women, devote whole gala

tiful, nicely modelled, and clad often in
the quaint old court dress of Japan.
And yet whether the dolls or their own

their hair done up, and befiowered,

Space Taken UP by Fences.


In ten-acre square field if the fence
or wall and the bushes and weeds al
lowed to grow along by the side of it
are one rod wide there is nearly one
tenth part of the land occupied by what
is of no use, but often damage to the
rest of the field as harbor for insect
pests and the small wild animals that
prey upon the crops, beside the injury
done by the roots of the bushes draw
ing upon the fertility of the soil and the
weed seeds grown there that help to
make the labor of the farmer harder.
Yet we have seen many fields much
smaller than ten acres so bordered, and
of course the waste Of land was much
larger. To all who have such hedge
rows, we say grub them out. Use the
whole of the field, and if bushes and
weeds are wanted give up some other
field to them than that which is
thought good enough for cultivation or
mowing.-Exchange.

Keen More Stock.

Not one-half of our farmers keep as
much stock as they should or as they
might keep if they would make little
effort Their pastures are perhaps
stocked up to or a little above the num-
ber that can be fed well at that part of
summer or fall when the pasture is at
its poorest, but not half up to the num-
Der which can find food when the grass
starts in spring. AS a result the early
grass grows hard and woody, and the
stock eat it only when starved to it,
and then find little nutrition in it. How
easy it is to provide for green crops to

A Much-Married Centenarian Turk

IA NchCchdVlan K.
In the village of Bodra a Turk
named Ismail, aged 120 years, Is in
such good health that he frequently
walks to Bartin, six hours distance, to
sell eggs, for he is poultry dealer. He
has had thirty-four wives, the last of
whom he married only few days ago.
The bride is s'sixty years his junior, and
the marriage was celebrated with much
solemnity, to the sound of drums and
flies and of volleys from firearms. The
whole village was en- fete. The we'd
ding procession included all the male
progeny Of the patriarch bridegroom,
consisting of 140 sons, grandsons and
great-grandsons. The number of his
female progeny is not stated.-Con-

Feeding Hogs.

Farmers who raise a few hogs to sell
around home should keep the pig ready
for market until the market is ready
for the pig. Kept in good condition on
green pasture supplemented with lit
tie corn every day, the cost of feeding
for a few weeks longer is very slight.
Try to SO arrange matters as not to be
compelled to sell anything until every
thing is favorable. There is profit in
so doing.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

Now is the season Of the year that the
young pigs begin to get so nice and fat
and lay around the pen with their
mother in the nest until they begin to
get their breath hard and finally their
sides begin to heave and thump, and if
you don't watch out they begin to die,
says Whinnery's Swine Advocate. This
disease is usually the fault of the owner
in allowing the pigs too little exercise.
A sow that is a good sucker of rich
milk is the one that is generally so un-
fortunate. The best plan that 1 ever
have tried was to place one or two pigs
at a time in pen away from the SOW
and let them run around the pen trying
to get out. This gives them plenty of
the exercise, and if repeated often will
have the desired effect. If the case is
a severe one it is well at the beginning
of the treatment to give small dose
of castor oil to the SOW or pigs.

One pleasant summer day,

As others do, you'd go.

But straight ahead" Just show

"Well, follow me!'' cried mother Crab
Watch, and I'll lead the way"
Then off she started to the right,
"A slight mistake" quoth she,
As to the left she slowly turned,
AS awkward as could be.
Then little Crab smiled to himself;
Perhaps, some other day
When you can do it right, I'll learn"
He said, 'but now I'll play"
Just bear this fact in mind. my dear,
Before you start to teach;
Be sure that you are well prepared
To practice what you preach.
