THAT sAsY.

There's q droll little baby that runs away
From round the corner on Frenehmsn

With his brown bare arms and his
brown bare feet.
A smaller tot you'll not likelier Sec
Of the human sort-with such speed and
spring,
His legs are as crooked as legs can be,
And they take him along with a see-saw
swing.
His hair is tousled, his frock is rent,
He is mud -bespattered and dust bedight;
But his little face shows supreme content,
And his dancing eyes are with fun
alight.
Oh, the wabbly work of those limbs so
small,
Oh, the frantic strain of the spidery
thing
When he hears the voice Of his mother
call,
When her nearing footsteps behind him
ring!
An extra scramble, a clutch, a hug!
There's a shrilling of laughter that %slivers
the air!
There's a flourish of feet as she holds him
snug,
With his head thrown back in a swirl
of hair.
Then. happy and laughing, they hurry

Chauffeur Acts Quickly.

An automobile party of-ive narrowly
escaped being killed at the Main street
crossing of the Southern Railroad of
New Jersey in F~armingdale. The auto
was speeding alone Main street. and
was about to cross the tracks when a
train came along, and the Chauffeur,
with great presence of mind. turned his
machine so that it ran parallel with the
train until he could bring it to a stop.
George HI. Packer saw the train com
ing and warned the party in the auto
but the chauffeur evidently did not
hear the warning. Packer was so sure
the party in the auto would be killed
that he turned his back so as not to
witness the apparently unavoidable col

A short time ago the death was an
nounced of Comte Leon de Laubespin
from the effects of eating a dish of
duck q Ia Rouennaise. Duck a la Rou-
ennaise is considered very deadly dur
ing the hot season for the following
reasons: In order to prepare the dish
according to the recognized rules, the
duck must be killed by ~suffocation. 1t
happens, therefore, that the blood CO.
agulates in the body of the bird in
such a manner that no amount of cook
ing suffices to sterilize it. In hot,
stormy weather, such as we have had
lately, this coagulateG blood would de-
compose and contain sufficient poison
to kill any one eating of the flesh. The
moral of the story would appear to be:

Poultry Hints.

If you set duck eggs under hens, set
them on the ground.
Small iocks are most profitable.
One fowl with scurvy legs is apt to
1mpart the disease to others.
Let the old and the young fowls have
as large a range as possible.
When a hen is fed in food she does
not require it is simply wasted.
A hen likes to scratch, and, she
should be given the opportunity.
The character of the food has much
to do with the quality of the egg.
Tobacco stems covered with straw is
an excellent preventive of insect breed

twice a week will often promote lay.

Avoid in and in breeding, that is
breeding from stock too closely re-
lated.
Once well started, it is compare.
lively easy to keep the young chicks
growing.
Nothing is more conducive to the
health of the fowls than plenty of
pure air.
Geese should have plenty of pasture
and a pond, when they will cost but
very little.
Good care at all times and under all
circumstances is q prime necessity in
breeding fowls.
Sea the hens in a place by them
selves. See that the nests are clean
and free from lice.
If large size and weight are desired,
select large hens, but the male should
be active and vigorous.
Never grease a sitting hen, for if the
grease gets on the eggs it will close
the pores and prevent Matching.
Poultry keeping can be made auxiIi-
;lry to other pursuits without infring-
ing upon the time Of the keepers.
One of the best feeds to give fowls
intended for exhibition is faxseed
meal with other grains. 1t makes
them look sleek and glossy and clears
the skin. Sunfower seed may also be
given two or three times a week to an
advantage.
From this time OF especially sitting
hens should not be fed while on the
nest. They need all of the exercise
they are likely to get. Too constant
sitting makes them of bad disposition
and difficult to manage when they
come off with a brood.

About Wood Ash.

Wood ashes not only contain potash,
but serve to loosen stiff soils and per-
form valuable service as a chemical
reagent. This is due to the large pro-
portion of lime contained in ashes
about thirty-fve per cent.-which is
in the best form in which it can be
used. About 120 pounds Of potash is
the proportion to a ton of wood ashes.
while 700 pounds of lime accompanies
it. These proportions may be more or
less, according to the kind of wood
from which the ashes are obtained.
Ashes are worth only Sc per ton. ac-
cording to the above proportions. so
far as the actual potash is concerned.
though the lime and other substances
contained possess value, the p~hosphor-
ic acid ranging from two to five per
cent.

led by a tall, well-dressed young man.
Both were the worse for a furious
drive through the rain. "We want to
be married" said the vision. The law
yers cut short their wrangling, the suit
was unceremoniOusly p~igeon-holed and

names as Benjamin H. McDaf1e, bank

mony they were driven rapidly away

Rirht Belief Neeessarr to Cprreet Action.

The philosophy that it does not matter
much what a man believes if he is honest
in it is a snare and a delusion. Honesty
and sacrifice cannot take the place of CON-
phance with the revealed viii OF God.
There are numerous examples Of this IN
the Scriptures of the Old Testament, and
they were recorded for our instruction and
admonition.
God sent Saul upon a mission which the
king executed almost to the letter, but the
slight omission cost him his life and his
kingdom. His orders were to slay the
A~malekites, men and beasts, but he spared
Agag, the king, and a few of the best eli
the cattle, and when Samuel taxed him
with di~sobedience he stoutly insisted that
he had obeyed the voice of the Lord
When his attention was called to the low
ing Of the cattle and the bleating Of the
sheep he attempted to excuse himself on
the ground that the people had saved a few
of the best for sacrifice. The prophet in
formed him that obedience Is better than
sacrifice and to hearken than the lat of
rams"
