ping with his blood! 1t fascinates me;
holds me spellbound. l cannot remove
my eyes from it as the blood drips slow
ly onto the ground.
He will never tell her of his love
sgain! The thought fills me with a
wild, exulting JOY, and 1 am happy.
Then / stoop and kiss the upturned
face, kiss the already cold lips; fierce
ly, passionately, 1 kiss the wound.
The thought comes to me like light
ming. What if l am discovered?" I
turn and flee to my own chamber.
where l carefully remove all traces of
blood, then go to the window and look
out. The scene before me is one of eX-
quisite beauty. / can hear the music
and lights sparkling back where the
merry party is still dancing. The flow
ers seem more fragrant than ever; the
little fountain throws its silvery spray
far up and falls back with a musical
splash, and there, lying near it, is the
body of the man l have just killed.
L cannot see him lying half-buried
in the tall grass, but still | know he is
there with wild white face in the
moonlight. How peaceful everything
is! How different from the tumult
that RACES in my breast!
Throwing myself on the floor by the
window l try TO think. l cannot de-
scribe my thoughts. They are bitter,
yet there seems to be fierce pride in
my heart at the thought that he can
never love her again. Finally the hor-
ror and crime overcome me, and pray
as never human prayed before.
"Oh God, what have l done? Have
in my mad jealousy cut off the life
of the man | love? Oh God, forgive!
forgive! forgive! Holy mother inter-
cede for mel"
kneel there clasping my beads and
the little cross close to my aching
heart, in a dumb, blind way, until the
sun. peeping over the line of hazy blue
hills in the distance, reminds me that
| must do something, yet l dare not
move. The pain at my heart is mad
dening; my breath comes in short
gasps; I fear detection, yet hardly
care. Why should care? He is gone
and | can never be happy again.

and collect my wandering thoughts

toned One Covered with Boards
and Glass.

For years we made the good old
fashioned deep bed covered with
boards and glass. This method proved
expensive and laborious. Casting
about for better way we met an ex-
tensive sweet potato raiser of the Ohio
river section. From him we learned
the following method which we now
use exclusively and with perfect sue
cess:
For ordinary family use, the bed
should be made about 10X15 feet. A pit
this size and about 6 inches deep is
dug. Any rough boards may be used
for frame, which is made about IS
inches high and of course the same
size as pit. This is built in side pit and
when completed extends foot above
the original surface of the ground. II

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
Use fresh mold for potting plants.

Use fresh mold for potting plants.
Never plant a tree unless you are
willing to take care of it.
Trees on which the leaves remain
until spring are not healthy.
In commercial fruit growing, make
quality rather than quantity the aim.
1t is best to plant out young trees
not more than two years old, rather
than older ones.
There is no use in planting out an
orchard unless the ground is well pre-
pared.
When setting out canes of black
berries and raspberries, cut them to
within six inches of the ground.-St.

VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Interesting Bulletin Issued by the
Botanical Office of the Kansas
Experiment Station.

1t is well known that the vitality CT
seed diminishes rapidly with age.
Dealers sometimes keep seed over
from one season to another, and, if
the vitality is too low, may mix fresh
seed with this. Low vitality may not
be due to age, but to unIavorable con-
ditions at time of harvesting, or to i'm
maturity. In any case, it is well to de-
termine the vitality before planting.
While it requires some experience to
determine the impurities in seeds, the
farmer can at least test his seed for
vitality.
A cheap and convenient form of APP
paratus for testing the vitality of
seeds at home is the following: Choose
two earthenware plates of the same
size. Cut out two circular layers of
flannel somewhat smaller than the
plates. Between the two layers of
flannel place 100 seeds of the variety
to be tested. Moisten the flannel with
all the water it will absorb. The two
layers of flannel are placed in one
plate and covered with the other and
set in warm place. If the flannel
is thin, several pieces should be used
in order to absorb sufficient water.
Other kinds of absorbent cloth or
blotting paper can be used, but thick
flannel is rather more satisfactory. At
the Kansas experiment station we
have used damp sand for a seed bed
with good success. The dishes should
be placed in a room which is kept
warm at night, or at least where the
temperature does not fall to freezing.
The flannel should be kept moist by
the addition of more water when nee
essary. Some seeds will commence to
terminate by the third day. Each day
an examination should be made. and
those seeds which have terminated
should be recorded and removed. For
practical purposes, two weeks is a suf-
ficient time for the test. The results
obtained may be considered as repre-
senting the per cent. of vitality under
favorable conditions. The per cent.
terminating in the ground is likely 10
be less. In counting out the 100 seeds,
care should be taken to discard poor
or shriveled seeds or the seeds of
weeds or other plants which may be
present.
Grass seeds require as much as
three weeks, and seeds of some trees
d still longer time. Beet balls contain
from three to seven seeds. With very
small seed it may be necessary to pro-
vide for the circulation of air by pla-
cling small pieces of wood between
the layers of cloth among the seeds.
With most varieties of garden plants
the majority of seeds should germi-
nate within few days after the first
.sprout appears. If the period of GER
mination extends over a longer time,
it shows that the vitality of the seed
is low. Seeds of the carrot family and
some melon seeds may not show as
high results in the terminating dishes
as they do in the ground. Below is
given list of common seeds, with the
average number of years that they
will retain their vitality (taken from
