and give this naughty boy one, and
see what will happen"
She disappeared in the bakery with
the small boy still pursuing her, and
presently both came forth with their
positions reversed. The little girl
was hippity-hopping and smiling as
she dcvoured her bun, while the boy
was carrying the load of potatoes in
stead of the little girl. A penny bun
had transformed him into friend and
! a gentleman.
Two friends of mine, on certain
Halloween, conceived brilliant idea,
and proceeded to develop it.
"Let's take lot of pennies and dis
tribute them among the kids as ''lucky
pennies and see what they will do"
A couple of hundred of these small
brazen carcatures Of money did not
60 very far for in less than ten min
utes the news spread far and vide
among the babes within a circuit of
five blocks that two men were giving
away lucky pennies. The procession
that formed behind the two was fast
approaching the five hundred mark,
when a big policeman, learning the
cause, laughed and ranged them in
line until the good luck had been care
fully distributed without any doubling
up.
"Faith,' quoth the jolly official to
the purveyors Of luck, ''if ye take my
advice yell fiet out Of sight at once or
yell have ten thousand kids onto We
within half an hour
So they skipped around conve-
nient corner and hurried home, with
here and there an urchin waylaying
them to demand lucky penny.
The writer earnestly believes that
the sanity of the nation will be saved
by the cuteness Of children. In the
morbid, fcrvid hustle after the almigh-
ty dollar, an occasional stop must be
made to watch the joyous freshness
and freedom of children, who spring up
everywhere, and who are constantly at
play, performing the most astonishing
comlcal antics. 1t would delight the
heart of Sean Vatican to find so many
poor little things obeying his command
to "play, play, play: Give me the
cute things of the earth to enjoy, and
l care not who has the pate de foie

KING EDWARDS CORONA
TION ROBES.

King Edwards Parliament robes
had to be prepared in hurry, but
there was little difficulty about this,
for crimson velvet and ermine or min
liver can soon be ATTAINED but the
special robes which his Majesty will
wear when being crowned, and while
afterward receiving the Sacrament, are
works of art which will occupy the
selected Spitalfelds looms some little
time, as they cannot be quickly
wrought. The tunicle is something
like loose jacket, with open sleeves,
and for Queen Victoria was made of
the richest cloth of gold, woven with
palm branches, roses, shamrocks and
thistles.
The stole is of bullion embroidery,
with design including Tudor roses,
shamrocks, thistles, royal coronets and
with the Cross OF St. George worked
at each end. Most magnificent of all
is the cope, which, instead of being
composed of mere gold-colored silk, as
some papers have stated, is of the
richest cloth of gold; this sumptuous
material being embroidered in colors
with roses, shamrocks, thistles and
with silver eagles, fleur-de-lys and roy
al coronets. These vestments are of
an ecclesiastical character, and they
are assumed in the Abbey and taken
off in the Abbey after the Sacrament,
the sovereign being arrayed for leav-
ing in Robe of Estate of purple vel
vet and ermine.
The white lawn alb, or surplice,
which King Edward will wear under
his cloth Of gold habiliments, will ma.
turally be of the old regulation pattern,
and will differ from the lace-trimmed
frock made for his mother to assume
on the like occasion. Once only is the
English sovereign invested with these
symbolical vestments-the alb, tuni-
Gle, and gorgeous cope.

TILLAGE VERSUS
GREEN MANUISING.

MIR. William T. Stone, of Georgia,
(p. Sl9) sowed small field of wheat
in the latter part of November. Part
of the field had had crop Of sweet
potatoes, and the other part heavy
growth of COW peas. The potato
ground had three plowlngs before SOW
ing the wheat; the pea ground only
one, but the heavy growth ofpea vines
was plowed under for green manuring.
He says: ''It was a case of tlllage ver-
sus green manuring." When the
wheat was harvested in June, the next
year, it was thicker, taller and better
headed on the potato ground, which
he estimated produced "a bushels per
acre, and the pea ground only IL
bushels per acre.
Mr.. Stone evidently expected diff
ferent result, as COW peas are legum-
inous crop, and in the South are con-
sidered equal if not superior to clover
for green manuring. l would suggest
that as winter came on 80 soon after
the wheat was sown, the COW peas did
not decay in time to benefit the wheat.
Decomposition goes on very slowly in
the cool weather of autumn, and in the
winter and early spring does not ad-
vance at all. In Mr.. Stones case, the
young plants did not receive any bene-
fit from the mannrial crop at the time
they needed assistance the most, and
by the middle Of June, when the stems
and roots Of the peas had rotted, the
wheat had made its growth and was
past assistance. To obtain the great
est benefit from green manuring, the
manurial crop should be plowed under
in the spring or early summer, in order
that it may have the assistance of
warm weather to rot it and make it
available.
My experience in blowing under
green crops in the fall has not been
favorable, and on my land l should
not expect a wheat crop to he eLefited
thereby. Until the pea vines rotted,
they could supply no nourishment to
the wheat plants, and before they rotted
probably kept the ground too loose
and full of air holes, which made it dry
out more quickly than the more COM
pact potato ground. Then, too, the
wheat roots did not find congenial
reception among the coarse pea vines.
Another thing-on some soils, lack
ing lime, green manuring creates an
acid that sours the land, and instead
of benefit is an injury to the succeed
ing crop. In the Country Gentleman
for 1899, p. 100, Mr.. George Jackson
tells of an injury to a crop of rye by
plowing under a heavy growth of
clover. John F. Wolfinger, Of Milton,
Pa, says: "Green clover plowed down
as manure does indeed at times sour
the land and injure the young wheat

you are dearer than life to me! Do
not put me off any longer. I cannot
bear it! You are very beautiful, dear
like some exquisite flower, with all our
gifts and graces, and I am only an
awkward, abrupt fellow. I have moth
ing much to offer you, know am
not worthy of you, but I can give you
a heart that is all yours and lifetime
of love and devotion. Will you ac-
cept it, Phillipa?'
Phillipa laughed nervously. Then
she furlcd and injured her fan and
looked up archly.
"Accept anything from you? Why,
you must think have forgotten our
philopena Besides, if did accept,
you know, shouldn't have thing to
give you for a pawn"
"You are very unreasonable i" Phil
lipa cried, conscious, however: that her
eyelashes were failing her for the first
time. You ask me to accept "a
gift just as if there never was such
thing as philopena.'
Armstrong rose. His lips were
while, his eyes full Of pain. He look
ed down on her a moment, then he
said, quietly: "Good-bye, Phillipa,"
and strobe from the room.
He took his ovcrcoat from the hall
tree and dragged it on deliberately.
"Like many another poor fool, l see
that I have endowed a beautiful doll
with SOUL" he said to himself with a
bitter smile.
He jammed his hat down over his
head and slid back the chain Of the
door, then he felt the touch of a hand,
and he turned and saw what no one
had ever seen before-Phillipa's bril-
liant eyes all soft and misty with tears.
She laid her cheek against his sleeve.
John, dear, John, forgive me !" she
cried with little sob. II do accept,
and here, l will give you the pawn in
advance.
She drew his head down and kissed
him, and Armstrong folded her in his
arms without word.
"You see, DEAR" whispered Philli-
pa" ~ couldn't give you my heart for
a pawn. because you already had it,
long ago"
