UNINHABITEO ISLANDS.
There Are Thousands of Them In thu

There Are Thousands of Them In the
Indian Ocean.
If you should want an island-that is,
an uninhabited island-for the purpose
of occupying it alone Robinson Crusoe
like, or to use it for romantic fiction or
for any other purpose, to the exclusion
of all others in the world, you need have
no trouble in finding one if you see fit
to make a journey to the Indian ocean.
In the waters between Madagascar and
India you can find more than $4,000 Of
them, where there is not a human be-
ing and where you can, if you will, be
monarch of all you survey.
An English traveller has recently been
among the small islands that dot the
western end of the Indian ocean to
make an inventory Of them and re-
ports that he counted 1G, 100 and found
only about 600 of them inhabited.
Now, there is a good chance for any
one who may want an island.
These particular islands are not large,
as islands CO. but very many of them
are sufficient for the purpose of a Rob
inson Crusoe or any other novel hero
or for even a small colony of ship
wrecked mariners or other persons who
might be cast on one of them or seek
for the purpose of making a home pref
ty much out of the busy world.
Some Of them are only an acre or
two, we'll elevated above the tide, while
others are a quarter of mile in diam
eter and running from that up to a mile
or two in length and a quarter or less
of the length in breadth. Many of
them are granite structures that rise
steeply from 20 to 100 feet, well cover
ed with rich soil, through which small
fresh water streams hurry to the sea,
which they reach after flowing over
beaches of glistening calcareous sand
that are begirt by coral reefs, which
form walls about the islands.

How He Saved His Dinner.

In the little town of Arundel there is a
taXidermist who is gifted with won
derful presence of mind. Here is an
instance:
Some time ago a gentleman called at
his shop with cock pheasant, which
he desired to have skinned, stating at
the same time that he did not require
the body. This quite suited the taxi
dermist who thought the pheasant
would do for his dinner on the morrow.
However, later in the day the gentle
man called again and said that he
would take the body away. The tax
idermist replied that it was unusual
for customers to take the bodies away,
but that he had no objection, and he
fetched the bird, which his wife had
put on a plate and covered with flour
"Ahw exclaimed the gentleman. at
looks very nice. But what is this white
powder with which it is covered|
ooh, that" replied the taXidermist
quietly, sis arsenic. l always cover
the bodies with that until l can dis
pose Of them"
"Ar-arsenicw stammered the gentle
man. "Why, 1 thought that the bird
would be good to eat. Thank you,

TURNlPS IN THE CORN.

Two Good Crops Grown Together.

I have been sowing turnip seed in
my cornfield for nearly so years. One
year l sowed 80 pounds of seed on 30
acres and harvested about 10000 bush

says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer.
Plant the corn in straight rows and
keep the cultivatOr going until about
the middle of July, then SOW the tur-
nip seed directly after the last cultiva-
ton. If two or three dashing showers
fall in a week or so, no covering is
needed. If my ground is ready and
showers are in prospect, l hasten to
SOW my seed. If no rain comes, the
seed must be lightly covered, much as
you would clover seed. Two or three
boards fastened together and drawn
between the rows of corn cover the
seed very nicely.

variety will grow almost anywhere

Shallow Cultivation For Corn.

We do not believe in deep cultivation
for corn after it has grown more than
three or four inches high. By that
time it has begun to seed its roots out;
hence to work the soil deep after this
has begun Is to break those roots and
to check the growth. There may be
period in the growth of a plant or tree
when a root pruning is beneficial, but
so little is known about it that we do
not care to experiment with 1t in a
haphazard way. But in a year like the
present deep cultivation is likely to
break more corn roots than in a dry
and warmer season. The corn root needs
moisture, but not too much, and 1t de-
lights in the heat of the sun. 1t Is
thus likely to run much nearer the sur
face than it would have done II we
had been favored with more warm days
and less rain. Working the soil as
deep as the manure used will make 1t
fertile before planting the seed and as
thoroughly as possible after the corn
begins to grow, but not more than
three inches deep between the rows,
and in season like this we would pre-
fer not to go more than two inches
deep. says American Cultivator.

BETRAYAL.

Out of the chilling rain and fog
That hid the mountain from our sight
dusky cloud came floating down
At early dawn Of light.
The cloud dropped softly to the lake
Amid a sound Of whirring wings
And spread into a graceful line
A host of living things.
We hailed this burst of joyous life;
The sunless day seemed dark no more,
When suddenly a shot rang out
And echoed round the shore.
The waterfowl were natures guests,
But they were doomed, and all that day
The shots pealed forth, and on the waves
The dead and dying lay.

There vanished, softly as it came,
broken flock, with plumage torn,
After that day of shame.
