A SONG OF COURAGE.
~~~~~

There are times when the mind
must be called away from present dam
ger or anxiety, and not allowed even
to contemplate the serious and deeper
aspects of an emergency. The San
Francisco Call gives an instance Of
good sense and pluck on the part~of a
young lady who was shipwrecked. A
few months ago a most gallant fight
for life in a storm at sea took place in
the Pacific.
When the Queen, with two hundred
souls aboard, was about thirty miles
off Tillamook, fire was discovered in
the after cabin. A heavy gale was
blowing at the time, and the situation
seemed hopeless. Captain Cousens
first put the women and children, and
all other passengers who were not able
to assist in fighting fire, into life
boats, and launched them in the
charge Of experienced men. These
boats remained under the lee of the
blazing steamship until those on board
had conquered the flames.
When the, life-boats were launched
that dark and stormy morning, the
women and children were terrorized
in the face Of the threatening tragedy.
In one boat a voice was lifted in
prayer, and the sound of weeping was
heard above the roar of the waters.
Some one raised the song, Nearer, Ny
God, to Thee" and with trembling lips
the fear-dazed company Joined. The
prayer and the hymn combined to
deepen the morbid gloom, and the last
note of the sacred song died in a
chorus of sobs.
Then, strong and clear, a CHEEKY
voice made all sit UP and listen.
what is the matter with you peo-
ple?" it said. Were not going to die
The fire is growing smaller. We shall
all be in our hunks in all hour. If
you must sing, sing 'Bedelia.'
The young woman then started the
jaunty popular song, and in few mo-
ments, to the amazement Of themselves
and the wonder Of the workers aboard
the steamer, every one in the boats
was singing "Bedelia."
From that it was an easy step to
other airs Of a lively nature, and long
before the boats were recalled their
occupants were almost enjoying the
novelty of their stern situation.
The Pacific Steamship Company
decorated with gold and silver medals
Che captain and men who risked their
1T
They also presented a token to the
brave singer. On it is engraved, For
Singing 'Bedelia.'

Tax Officer in Trouble.

I Judge Tarant overruled the demurrer
in the case against Frank Himmelsteln,
q former deputy tax commissioner in
Milwaukee. charging him with having
used his official influence to secure the
sale of school lots to the city. Hlmmel-
STEMS demurrer stated that although III
a city position he had no more influence
in the deal than if he were private

under which the charges were brought

falfa can be profitably baled from the

what stage of curing alfalfa may safe

of handling the crop is practicable

lowing experiment last season. The
baling was done July 10th with lax

THE FIELD
Saving Seeds for Next Year.

Seed houses sell their goods at such
low prices and reliable houses can be
depended on to furnish good, fertile
seeds, true to name, that there is not
very much incentive for the general
farmer to save his own seeds, except
in certain kinds of plants. The prac-
tice of saving ones own seed is
good one, however, and is to be rec
commended where the seeds saved are
known to be up to the standard in ev-
cry way. The selection of seed should
be from early ripening and perfect
fruit from the best plants. The seeds
do not readily terminate until they
have been exposed to frost, and may
safely be kept dry for several months
If only a few are wanted the berries
may be crushed on sheets of thick
paper on which the name of the var1-
ETY. can be written and the adhering
seeds and pulp thoroughly dried in
the shade and packed away in small
envelopes. In October they should
be sown in a we'll prepared seed bed
in a sheltered place in the garden or
in boxes of fine, rich earth. In either
case the seed bed or boxes should be
covered with fine wire netting, such
as that from old mosquito bars, to
keen out vermine. The boxes are
best plunged in soil level with top
and left exposed to frosts for some
weeks, when they can be removed
during a thaw to the greenhouse or
window garden, or allowed to remain
outside all winter with slight cover
ing of leaves or straw to prevent dry
ing out. Currant seeds are rather slow
to terminate, and the season is often
we'll advanced before they come up,
but gooseberries usually start soon
after the soil is warmed up. When
large, enough to handle the seedlings
are transferred to boxes or small pots,
and later to their permanent place IN
the garden, or they may be planted
out at once if the weather and soil
are favorable, setting them about three
feet apart each way. If grown in a
seed bed they would best remain the
first season undisturbed unless they
stand so thickly as seriously to inter-
fere with growth. If started early
under glass gooseberries often gain
sufficient size to fruit the second year,
bot currants require another season.
1t takes four to five years for either to
reach full development, but the rate
of progress is as rapid as with propa-
gated plants. Our experience is that
most seedlings are good enough to
retain for home use, and few SO de-
fective as to be worthless.
