him by the celebrated teacher Limos.
he was attracted by the sound OF sweet
music, which seemed but the echo Of
his own glorious voice. He walked
along. singing. and the sound ap-
preached. as If to meet him. till finally
it sang ut his very feet.
Glancing down, he saw the she'll OF a
turtle, which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the receding waves. The little thing
had died and dried up so that only the
sinews, shriveled to strings. and the
shell remained The dried up sinews
were tightly stretched across the hol-

Crre For Pneumonia.

Take six to ten onions. according to
size, and chop fine; put in q large spi-
der over q hot fire, then add about the
same quantity of rye meal and vinegar
enough to make it thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let
ting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply it to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When it gets cool, apply another and
thus continue by reheating the poui-
tees. In few hours the patient will
be out Of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed
in this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until perspiration starts freely from
the chest.
This simple remedy was formulated
many years ago by one Of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known.
who never lost a patient by this dis
ease and won his renown by saving
persons by simple remedies after the
best medical talent had pronounced
their cases hopeless. Personally we
know Of three persons who were saved
by the remedy last winter in Boston

up to die. and if a record was made Of

Adam. md Sculpture.

President John Quincy Adams once
asserted that he would not give 50
cents for all the works Of Phidias and
Praxiteles. adding. II hope America
will not t:ink Of sculpture for two cen
turies to come"
When some one quoted this to Will
liam Morris Hunt, he asked dryly,
"Does that sum Of money really repre-
sent Mr.. Adams estimate Of the sculp-
ture Of those artists or the value which
he places upon so cents?"

How a Duke Earned Sixpenoe.

How the Duke of Norfolk, one Of the
richest Of England's peers, earned his
first sixpence is related by his friends
with great deal of gusto.
A few years ago large English
party headed by the Duke went on a
continental tour. The Duke busied him
self very much on the journey In a
kind-hearted way about the welfare of
everyone In the party. At every sta
tion he used to get out and go round to
see If he could do anything for anyone.
One old lady, who did not know him
when she arrived at last in Rome,
tired and hot, found great difficulty In
getting a porter. So she seized on the
Duke. "Now, my good man." she said,
"I've noticed you at all these stations
loafing about. Just make yourself for
once In your life. Take my bag and find
me a cab" The Duke mildly did as he
was bid and was rewarded with a six
pence. ''Thank you, madam" he said;
~ shall prize this indeed! 1t is the first
coin have ever earned in my life."

School Gardens,

A valuable educational idea comes
from Germany, where school gardens
have long been cultivated by the pupils,
two hours work per week being COM
pulsory. The result Is that the COM
munity life Is effected. The farms and
gardens are cultivated with new knowl-
edge; the boys and girls work in the
home grounds with greatly Increased
interest. Destructive insects and dis
ease are watched for, and the crops
handled with the intelligent care that
comes from knowledge. The introduc-
ton Of the school garden into this coun-
try Is entirely feasible, says Outlook.
1t would create new avenue of en-
ployment for the students In our agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
ions; 1t would make another avenue for
he use of the knowledge collected by
our Department of Agriculture. Our
township system would make a prac-
tical division for the control of one agri-
cultural supervisor and instructor. In
stead of the school house and grounds
being the least attractive and most bar
ren places In the town, they might be-
come an educating center, by the scien-
tific cultivation Of the grounds, as well
as a practical lesson in forming and
gardening to the whole community.

GOO CONNECT the Atlantic with
the Mediterranean by a ship canal
- capable of floating a modern man
Of war Is the dream of the French ma
tion. 1t Is proposed to take advantage
Of the present waterways in the interior
of France, and by deepening and supple
menting them by others. fit them to the
purpose.
Contrary to what would seem the nat
ural Atlantic terminus, says corre
spondent of the New York Press, 1t is
proposed to neglect Bordeaux in favor
of what will be practically new port.
Arcachon, with its great natural basin,
lends itself ideally to the kind of fortif-
cation that would be demanded by ca
nal that would, by the fact of Its exist
ence, come to be the central strategic
feature Of the country. Arcachon, when
the canal is finished, will be the Brest of
to-day, hundred times magnfied. Bor-
deaux, that could never be made to give
the necessary ease and security to war
fleet, will remain the great commercial
port 1t Is.
Another advantage of the canal as
planned by the effervescent Gaul will be
to furnish work for years to the French
workingman, to the calming of the labor
ing mind and the security of the republic,
the calculations being for a permanent
force Of 10000 laborers.
AT the beginning it was seen that ordi-
nary locks would not serve; with them
the passage would require at least six
days. One way Of diminishing their
number-it is estimated that 200 would
be necessary-would be the old-fasbioned
plan of keeping the canal to the low alti-
tudes Of the plains and then, arriving at
the Col de Naurouze, to pass through it
in giant cut. 1t would be n cut 500
feet deep. To avoid the necessity of this
