The following story was once told by
DIR. John Marshall, dean of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, during lee
ture:
There lived in a small English vii
lage curate whose custom II was to
drive his horses tandem. His parish
toner's evidently thought such a style
was unbecoming for a minister and
spoke to him on the subject. Their
words had no effect, and they COM
planned to the bishop The bishop sent
for the curate and advised him to drive
his horses side by side.
But said the curate, what DIFF
ference does IT make whether I drive
my horses side by side or tandem? The
horses are the same, and there is only
a difference of position
That's just 1t. my good man.. said
the bishop-'the position. Now, when
extend my hands this way and he
stretched them over the curate's head,
it's sign of blessing. but when |
put them this way and the bishop
placed one hand in front OF the other
before his nose. 1T is sign OF deri-
SION"

From Farmers Review: A CORE
spondent at Ogden. Utah, writes:
From time to time we have noticed
interesting articles in your paper on
silos. We have in mind using green
pea straw for silage. but are not post
ed as to the best method of SuildirE
and filing the silo. Can you send
US some data on this subject" In
these days of cheap silo literature and
farmers institute and convention. as
well as in the agricultural press, 1t
seems hardly necessary to take up
space with descriptions of meth
DDS OF building and filling silos.
The correspondent can get small
treatise on the subject for the asking,
by writing the secretary of agricul
ture, Washington, ID. c.. for copy OF

plete specifications for 300-ton round
wooden silo and for a 100-ton stave
silo are given, with elevations and
framing plans. sections, ETC.. from
which silos can be readily constructed
by anyone at all familiar with build
ing operations. As the correspondent
apparently has not had previous ex-
perience with silos the best plan
would be for him to build small tank
silo OF beveled lumber such as Is used
In making water tanks. Then anoth-
er season when he has gotten some
experience with silage and has found
out that he cannot do without it, he
will very likely want to build larger
silo and can then put up more sub
ssantial atwood structure that will
not require the attention that staye
silos at best require.

A Detroit man was travelling with

You might have 1t taken off, IL you
do; then you wouldn't have any head,
and you'd get spanking besides"
The father went away to find the
conductor. After a few minutes he
came back.
There was little Willie. Just his feet
and the seat of his trousers sticking
In through the window. He appeared
to be more outside than inside. and
whenever telegraph pole whizzed
by and looked especially close he
would make lunge for it, as If trying
to catch 1t.
The father did not hesitate. He
made grab for the boy just as the
latter made lunge for a pole. He
pulled him in by the heels, laid him
over his knees. and began to fulfill
his promise. The little fellow yelled
and yelled until he almost drowned
out the noise of the train. but during
a hull in the uproar the father heard
a smoker behind him. He laid the
boy down and turned to see what it
meant.

k1ngstown, Island Of st. Vincent,
Wednesday, June 4.-Vessels leaving the
island Of Martinique have experienced
upheaValS and agitations Of the sea,
pointing to submarine eruptions be-
tween Martinique and st. Lucia. The
shining, fleece clouds, which have been
continually rising and spreading in the
direction of the Soufriere volcano since
May 18th, n which nave beer mis-
taken for tropical clouds, have proved
to be steam emitted from the crater
from which flashes of flame are issuing
nightly. This, combined with renewed
vibrations in the fire has increas-
ed approximations that there may be an
other eruption of the Soufriere shortly.
The eruptions at Martinique seem to
relieve the st. Vincent volcano materi-
ally. Connection between the two vol
canos is in~disputable, as every eruption
in Martinique is accompanied by cor
responding seismic and atmospheric
disturbances here.
