Too Much Attention.

A little sermon which will be appre-
ciated by nurses and doctors was inno-
Gently preached by small girl who
little knew the bearing of her tale. Her
aunt had been i'll for long time, and
some one asked Dorothy how the in
valid was progressing. The Washing
ton Post thus reports the answer:
"She's SICK" answered Dorothy.
"She has the worst headaches, and she
has to stay in dark room. But she's
got lots of friends, and they try to
make her feel better. They come to
see her every day, to see if there is
anything they can do. They send her
jelly and things to make her want to
eat; but she doesn't eat bit. Then
they're always coming to cheer her up.
1t doesn't seem to do much good. but, "
she added, with an effort to speak the
speech of her elders, 'sshe bears nfiic-
tions nobly!'

Hay In Round Bales.


The cylindrical bale has become very
popular for hay and cotton, and many
shippers are discarding their old
presses to get one that will press 1t in
this form. The standard bale is eight
cen inches in diameter and thirty-six
inches long. The pressure used in
packing for home use puts about two
hundred pounds in such bale, but
when intended for export they use
higher pressure and get in about 275
pounds. A bale put up for army use
is but half as long, or eighteen inches,
and weigs about 40 pounds. 1t is cal
culated that a1good pack horse or mule
will travel with one Of these on each
side, and they can go where the army
wagons could not. Thousands of tons
Of these round bales have been shipped
to our army in the Philippines, and a
large amount to the British army IN
South Africa. In this form a given
weight of hay is compressed into about
one-half the space that it occupied In
the square bale, and the fact that 1t
does not pack as closely In car or YES
sci, there being spaces between the
bales, which prevents moulding, pre-
serves the sweetness Of the hay, and
the close pressure in the bale reduces
the combustibility. For cotton many of
the same advantages are claimed for
the round bale, that is, getting more in
small space and reducing the danger
from ire.-American Cultivator.

CHAPTER II,

This is not the place to commemor-
ate the trials and privations endured
by the immigrant Mormons before they
came to their final haven.
From the shores of the Mississippi
to the western slopes OF the ROCKY
mountains they had struggled on with
a constancy almost unparalleled in his
tory.
The savage man and the savage
beast, hunger, thirst, fatigue and dis
ease-every impediment which Nature
could place in the way had all been
overcome with Anglo-Saxon tenacity.
Yet the long journey and the accum-
ulated terrors had shaken the hearts
of the stoutest among them.
There was not one who did not sink
upon his knees in heartfelt prayer
when they saw the broad valley of
Utah bathed in the sunlight beneath
them, and learned from the lips Of
their leader that this was the promised
land, and that these virgin acres were
to be theirs for evermore.
Young speedily proved himself to
be a skillful administrator as we'll as
a resolute chief.
Maps were drawn and charts pre-
pared. in which the future city was
sketched out.
All around farms were apportioned
and allotted in proportion to the stand
ing of each individual.
The tradesman was put to his trade
and the artisan to his calling. In the
town streetseand squares sprang up as
if by magic.
: In the country there was draining
ard hedging, planting and clearing.
until the next Summer saw the whole
country golden with the wheat crop.
Everything prospered in the strange
settlement.
Above all, the great temple which
they had erected in the center OF the
CITY grew ever taller and larger.
From the first blush of dawn until
the closing of the twilight, the clatter
of the hammer and the rasp of the
saw was never absent from the monu-
ment which the immigrants erected to
Him who had led them safe through
many dangers.
The two castaways, John Ferrier
and the little girl who had shared his
fortunes and had been adopted as his
daughter, accompanied the Mormons
to the end of their great pilgrimage.
Little Lucy Ferrier was borne along
pleasantly enough in Elder Stanger'
sons wagon, retreat which she
shared with the Mormon's three wives
and with his son, a headstrong, for
ward boy of twelve.
Having rallied with the elasticity OF
childhood, from the shock caused by
her mothers death, she soon became
pet with the women. and reconciled
herself to this new life in her moving
canvas-covered home.

wilderness than that you should prove
to be that little speck of decay which
IN time corrupts the whole fruit. Will
you come with US on these terms?'
Guess I'll come with you on any
terms" said Ferrier, with such en-
phasis that the grave elders could not
restrain a smile. The leader alone re-
tanned his stern, impressive express
sion.
''Take him, Brother Stangerson," he
said; give him food and drink, and
the child likewise. Let it be your
task also to teach him our holy Greco.
We have delayed long enough. Sor-
ward, On-on to Zion"
"On-on to ZionI" cried the crowd
of Mormons, and the words rippled
down the long caravan. passing from
mouth to mouth until they died away
in a dull murmur in the far distance.
! With a cracking of whips and
creaking of wheels the great wagon
got into motion, and soon the whole
caravan was winding along once
| more
The elder to whose care the two
waits had been committed led them to
i his wagon, where a meal was already
awaiting them.
"You shall remain here" he said.
''In few days you will have recover
ed from your fatigue. In the mean
time remember that now and forever
you are of our religion. Brigham
Young has said it and he has spoken
with the voice of Joseph Smith, which

cONTENDING FOR A PRINCIPLE.
Good Example of the bubbles That Pre-.
vail in Legal Practice.


An English writer gives a good ex-
ample of those quibbles in legal prac-
tice that have a sort of fascination for
certain minds. Some years ago, while
travelling on the continent. he met the
principal lawyer for the government of
one of the principalities, who told him
of curious legal question. II had ref
erence to railway station at the boun-
Diary between two principalities.
Someone standing outside the window
of the ticket office had put his hand
through and robbed the till inside.
The boundary line lay between where
the thief stood and the till, so that he
was actually in one territory while the
crime was committed in another. Here
was nice nut for the gentlemen
learned in the law to crack. Which OF
the princiralities should undertake the
prosecution of the criminal?
At it they went in good earnest, and
the arguments on either side were long
and vehement, till the whole case was
embalmed in many volumes. At last
one side yielded so far as to say:
"We will permit you, as an act of
ourtesy, to prosecute, while at the
same time reserving all our sovereign
rights"
At this point of the recital I asked
"And how did the prosecution end?"
"Ahl That is quite another matter -
said my friend. "There was no prose-
cution; we were only arranging what
we should do when we caught the rob-
ber; but we never caught him.

Alfalfa on Sandy Soil.

The claim that alfalfa will not thrive
on sandy soil is not borne out by 4ex-
pertinent. Col. B. w. Richards, secre-
tary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Com
pany, who has farm at Hammonton,
N. J., has grown alfalfa for several
years, and on plot consisting of white
sand. The plot was seeded IN August,
1898, and another later. AS many as
four or five cuttings are secured every
season, and from two to three tons of
hay per acre are cured. Manure is
spread over the land every fall and
lime (mostly from burnt oyster shells)
Is broadcasted. The land has become
very productive, and more animals
were necessary in order to consume the
hay produced. The experiment a
valuable one, as it demonstrates what
can be done with alfalfa on the lightest
kind of sand.-Philade1phia Record.

Robbery of Moisture by Weeds,

Robbery of Moisture by Weeds.
One who is inexperienced, and who
has made no experiments in that direc-
ton, can form no estimate of the Quan-
tity of water taken from the soil by
weeds, which is really robbery Of the
crop occupying the land. A single weed
may seemingly do. but little injury, but
one pound: of weeds wifi remove 500
pounds of moisture from the soil dur
ing the period of ordinary drought, or
more or less according to it's duration
and the growth of the weeds. AS much
sas '25o,00O pounds of moisture per acre
is an ordinary quantity for heavy
mass of weeds to take. In addition to
the moisture the weeds draw. on the fer
tility, and deprive the crop of plant
food, which is so necessary in order to
secure large yields. 1t is work to keep
down weeds after they get good start,
but it is not difficult to destroy them
when they are very young. Many crops
fail during dry seasons more because Of
robbery of the moisture by weeds than
because of lack of rain.

In some experiments at the Iowa sta

of dry matter per 1000 pounis of live
weight against an average of 29.1 by
the sheep. Both cattle and sheep were
on full feed. The sheep made daily
gain of 1913 pounds per 1000 pounds
