AS the barge journeys with the cur
rent it stops at every village. The
church bell is rung and the people
gather from the fields to be led by the
starosta, or mayor to the floating
farm. They are invited aboard, where
the various plants are explained to
them, while illustrated lectures are
sometimes given on the advantages
of diversified farming The questions
of the peasants are intelligently an
swered, and seed is often left with the
most enterprising for planting.
So far the barge experimental farms
have proved the most efficient method
of spreading the new knowledge of
farming in Russia, for the country is
one vast plain. The great rivers flow
ing southwark through the rich agri-
cultural prairies take their rise in the
dense forests of central and northern
Russia. Here the great barges are
built late in the fall, the spring fresh
cts are made to save the expense of
launching and when fall comes again
the wood Of the barges can be sold in
the treeless southern country, where
wood is dear, and thus made to pay
the expense of the trip down stream.

Russia. In rich agricultural coun-
try, intersected everywhere by rivers
and canals, it is not surprising that a
novel method of presenting object les
sons to the tillers of the soil has been
evolved.
The Russian educators in casting
about for, the best means of economi-
cally fulfilling their mission decided
to experiment with immense floating
gardens hundreds of feet in length.
These great barges, built wide enough
to give comfortable area for the lay
ing out of garden, are launched with
the breaking up of the ice. AS these
floating agricultural experiment sta
tons drift down stream to warmer
chimes, the seeds sprout, and grain
grows and eventually ripens.
On the deck of the great barge is
an extensive building, the residence
of the professors of agriculture who
have the station in charge, and a
smaller house for the crew. The size
of these buildings, however, is
dwarfed by the immensely of the
barge. On it's great, broad deck, be-
sides the vegetable and grain beds,
are various models of beehives, for

Washington, Sept. 17.-Through
living line of bare-headed people
stretching up over the Alleghenies,
down into the broad valley of the
Susquehanna and on to the marble
city on the banks of the shining Poto-
mac, the nations martyred president
yesterday made his last journey to the
seat of the government over which he
presided four and one-half years The
whole country seemed to have been
drained of it's population at the sides
of the track over which the funeral
train passed. Work was suspended in
the field, mine and city, schools were
dismissed and everywhere appeared
the trappings and tokens of woe. A
million flags at half mast dotted the
hillside and valley and formed a
thicket of color over the cities The
silence with which the countless
thousands viewed the remains of
their hero and martyr was oppressive
and profound. Only the rumbling of
the train and sobs from men and wo-
men with tear-stained faces and the
doleful tolling of church bells broke
on the ear. At several places the
chimes played Cardinal Newman's
grand hymn.
Taken altogether, the journey homo
was the most remarkable demonstra-
ton of universal personal sorrow
since Lincoln was borne to the grave
and everyone had an opportunity to
catch glimpse of the flag-coyered
bier elevated to view in the observa-
ton car at the rear of the train. There
was no other bit of color to catch the
eye on this train of death The loco
motive was shrouded in black and the
curtains of the cars in which sat the
lonely stricken widow, relatives of the
president, cabinet ministers and
others were, drawn. The whole
black train was like shattered house
save only for the hindmost car where
the body lay guarded by a soldier and
a sailor. Mrs. Mckinley stood the
trip bravely. In the morning soou
after leaving Buffalo she pleaded so
earnestly to be allowed to go into the
car where her dead one lay that a re-
luctant assent was given and she
spent half an hour beside the coffin.
All the way the train was preceded
about Is minutes by pilot engine
sent ahead to test the bridges and
switches and prevent the possibility of
accident to the precious burden it
carried. The train had the right of
way over everything. Not a wheel
moved on the Pennsylvania railroad
system thirty minutes before the pilot
engine was due, or for the same
length of time after the train had
passed.
The train left Buffalo at $3.50 a. m.
and arrived at Washington at S;3S
last night. In II hours it is estimated
over half million people saw the
coffin which held all that remains NOR
tai of President Mckinley.

A SONG OF THE HILLTOP.

To the hilltop let us go;
Squirrels are hiding there, I know,
And in fir-trees thick and tall,
Hour by hour, the catbirds call;
Bow and arrow in our hand,
On the hilltop let us stand
Hunters blithe and bold are we,
And we range the forests free,
Each a merry Robin Hood,
Loving we'll the leafy wood;
Bearing still the self-yew bow,
To the hilltop let us go.
There the breezes fresh and sweet
Ripple DER the fields Of wheat,
And the mimic waterfalls
Leap and laugh with elfin calls;
Up, the day is in it's prime,
They but lose who fear to Climb.
