THE PANSY FAMILY.

There is a funny old story about the
pansy which many children know, but
many, again do not. The pansy has
five petals and five sepals. In all pan
sizes two Of the petals are Of plain color
and three are gay with stripes and
spots OF bright color. The two plain
petals have but one sepal between
them. while the two smallest, or the
gay, petals, have sepal each, and the
one large petal has two sepals: ) -: 5..:. s.
As the story goes. the pansy repre-
sents a family-a mother, two daugh1
ters and two step-daughters. The
mother is very cross and cruel to her
stepdaughters, obliges them both to
sit on one chair and wear. hpmely
dresses, while her daughters have a
chair and very gay dresses 3ini:a.ad But
why doesn't the father object to such
treatment of his daughters? >11lH ques-

earl forgot him, We lived then in a
little. cottage--one belonging to the
earl; and, my lady, since my husband S
death, I have lived there-I do not
know why-rent free. Living there has
ibeen my livelihood. I have had no
rent to pay; and every week I have
earned a few shillings by taking in
washing for the people at Court Raven.
So, my lady, the little cottage has, aft
er fashion, kept me and my children.
But now paper has come to say that
henceforth we must pay rent-four and
sixpence each week-for the place; and,
my lady, if 7 pay it, I shall not be
4able to buy bread for my children to
eat." eE Il. @.#..
But you shall not pay it." said the
young countess. rNL,

speak to him for mer'

Caraven.S II will speak to the earl, my
husband; he will let you stay without
paying rent
II know he will--if he understands;
but, my lady, Mr.. Blantyre does as he
likes with the poor and the earl knows
nothing about it. What could four
shillings and sixpence week matter to
the earl? And my husband died to
save his Birds 'r.yss<ef s4 va s,.. .s+oI .

In the state OF Mississippi three mem
connected with the agricultural college.
have been giving a good deal Of atten-
tion to the matter of soil inVestig CATION.
Professors Hutchinson, Perkins and
Ferris have made analyses Of over 400
samples Of soil and have investigated
them further than: the analyses. So
far as the soils of that state are CON-
cerned they are satisfied that chemical;
analyses does give an index Of the:
value Of any soil for plant use. They
have found that other things being
equal, soils containing the largest total
amounts of plant food will have the
most plant food available for crops.
and the deepest surface soils
give the best yields.'' So far as the
soils were examined 0.O7 to Oh per
cent of phosphoric acid was sufficient
for maximum yields. Soils that con-
tanned 0.05 per cent or less Of this acid
required an application of phosphorlc
acid before good yields could be OBJ :
tained. The soils of Mississippi are
reported by the gentlemen named to-
contain all the lime necessary to plant
growth. Recently uncovered soils are.
described as being unproductiye. The
investigators urge the greater use Of
the leguminous plants both to increase,
the nitrogen and improve the soil as
to It's ability to hold water. 80.

age, the greater loss of nitrogen oe-
Cured in case Of bare soil, the order
Of losses in other cases being .(1) soil
bearing young clover. (2) that under
flax and beans, and (3) that under
summer grain. Lime was the const1t-
uent most easily removed from the
soil. The losses of potash and soda
were practically the same. Chlorins
and sulphuric acid were removed In
considerable quantities, especially in
bare soil. Phosphoric, acid could scarce.
ly be detected in the drainage waters
of soils bearing crops. In bare soils

experience the other night, the like Of
which even the Oldest inhabitant can
not remember. It was a precipitation
OF small toads and snails, the visita-,

and IL o'clock. A rainstorm prevailed
during the most Of the afternoon and
increased greatly after nightfall. e..

peared to be hailstones ratified = to.

to be snails in their shells, many Of
which were gathered by the astonished
people. The snails were almost i'm

small toads, averglng from one-half to
three-quarters Of an inch in length.
While the heaviest precipitation Of
toads and snails was after 9 o'clock,

most entirely to the Ravensmere es-

to make an opportunity. AS it hap

But, when breakfast was over, the
earl went off with some gentlemen to
the stables. There was a. fear that
his favorite horse was i'll, SO it was no
time then to plead the widows cause.
She tried again at luncheon-it was
equally in vain; and the young coun-

speaking word to her own husband.

Sir Raoul was only too pleased; he
thought that the fact of her wishing to
speak to him at all was a good sign.
He sent for him, and in few minutes
the earl arrived, pleased, as he always
was, to- be of use to Sir Raoul.
The soldier talked to him for few
minutes about an imaginary want, and
Lord $Caraven was deeply interested
He had bowed to his wife on entering
the room, but had not spoken to her;
