How to Listen to Music.

People often get intensely excited
in listening to music-letting their
emotions run rampant and suffering
in consequence a painful reaction of
fatigue. If they would learn to yield
so that the music could pass over
their nerves as it passes over the
strings of a musical instrument, and
then, with the new life and Vlgor
derived from the enjoyment, would
turn to some useful work, they would
find great expansion in the enjoy
ment of the music as well as new
pleasure in their work. If we enjoy
good music and gloat over our per-
sonal pleasure in it, so to speak, 1t
takes the life out of US. II we let
the music carry us along instead
of trying, in our excitement, to carry
the music, it brings new life to us.

many men, was a bit taken by sur

CHAMPIONS.

The Russian counter-attack, desper-
ate though it had been, had failed to
get home; but the Japanese infantry,
lmmovable itself, was unable to turn
the mass of Russians from behind the
fold in the ground which they had
reached. Barely 300 PAGES separated
the muzzles of these opposing lines Of
blackened rifles. But that green strip
was impossible to both. In the center
Of the space was mound upon which
Lieutenant Tokugawa's attention was
fixed. This mound, says the author Of
The Yellow War;" exercised the same
fascination upon a tall Russian sub
altern.
The fascination Of the mound
changed to magnetism for the little
Japanese officer He is on his feet,
the steel is bare in his hands. and he
is racing for the mound. A shout goes
up, a cheer in which both sides join.
The tall subaltern has jumped to his
feet he has accepted the challenge, and
stands erect at the base Of the mound,
awaiting the onrush Of his diminutive
adversary. AS If by instinct the battle
in the vicinity accepts the trial by
champion.
The tall Russian lowers his guard,
and bows slightly. He will take no
mean advantage. The little Japanese
is quick to detect the courtesy i'm
piled, and, not to be outdone, inclines
his head, and then they close in NOR
tai combat.
The blades flash high and low for
moment; the clash Of steel is audible
to both fighting lines. Then murmur
goes up from the onlookers, a blade has
been flung clear! It is the Russian
who Is disarmed.
The subaltern springs back and then
closes upon his adversary with his
naked hands. Tokugawa, with the
agility Of a squirrel, leaps sideways.
The two-handed sword Of his fathers
is raised to strike, but no, the blow
never falls. Tokugawa filings his weap
on from him, and then man to man
with naked hands the champions close.
By some occult leverage, some subtle
science, Tokugawa filings his great OPP
ponent to the ground, and kneels upon
his chest. Again the cheer rings out.
The Russians join, for the magnanfmi-
ty Of the discarded sword has not es-
capped them.
Tokugawa jumps clear, and, extend
ing his hand, helps the Russian to his
feet. For a moment the two men
stand with hands clasped, then they
salute and turn. The cheer rises afresh
as they stride back to their respective
lines. A moments pause. The jap
anese reinforcements have arrived, and
with a mighty shout the Japanese adj
vance.

When the momentary excitement had

her.

Remsen in an odd, quavering voice.
One of the young men took the cob
by the head and guided them through
the tangle of carriages. Then silently
they drove across the club grounds to
the road. Mrs. Porter, being wise in
her day and generation, said nothing.
When they were nearly home, the
girl suddenly burst into storm Of
tears.
"Oh, auntie," she said, ~ didn't

Mrs. Porter waited in the big hall,

her in, he discreetiy withdrew.
On couch by the window lay Dun

A young American who is studying
at Oxford was struck by the care with
which his chambermaid cleaned his
desk without disturbing his papers. To
reward her he offered her some confec-
tons which he had brought from Lon
don.
MARY, wouldn't you like some Of
this candy?"
"Ho, thank you, sir; yes, sir. But,
hexcuse me, sir, this amt candy, it's

Then she proceeded to give him a
lesson in the difference between sugar
or molasses candy and bonbons, choc

meats or sweets
'Thank you for telling me the differ

Forage for Hogs.

The small farmer can i'll afford to-
raise hogs without providing one or
more forage crops for them. These are
necessary from an economical as we'll
as sanitary standpoint, as when hog
has access to plenty Of forage 1t WIFI
thrive better than OIL an exclusive
grain ration. Among successful for
age crops for hogs | highly regard
clover, cowpeas, soy-beans, sweet pota-
toes and Spanish peanuts, writes Cod
frey Winkler, in Midland Farmer.
Sorghum is not to be despised. And
as with many of these crops hogs can
do their own harvesting, 1t saves labor
to some extent.
In test at the South Carolina ex-
pertinent station four lots Of pigs were
used. One lot was fed Spanish pea
nuts, one was fed sweet potatoes, one
cowpeas and the remaining lot was
fed corn. The yield of Spanish pea
nuts was 90 bushels; Of sweet potatoes
200 bushels; cowpeas, 10 bushels. The
amount of the different feeding stuffs
required to produce one pound Of pork
was as follows: Corn, COZ pounds;
Spanish peanuts, 4.43 pounds; sweet
potatoes, 3217 pounds, and cowpeasr
4.91 pounds Now taking in account
the gains made and the yield OF the,
different crops, and rating PORK at 90.

Farming by a Fixed Plan.

A South Carolina man thus tells how
he conducts his farm: My plan for
farming is to keep my crop in rotation,
SO as to have something growing all Of
the time l do not believe in too much
of anything. I plant seven acres in
corn, seven acres in cotton, and sow
seven acres in wheat to one horse. I
fix my land well before plant 1t, and
it pays me we'll for my trouble. turn
my land in the fall and subsoil in the
spring, cut 1t with a harrow as deep
as two 1,20O-pound mules could pull it,,
then put about 300 pounds Of fertiliz-
er to the acre and | cultivate that well.
l make bale of cotton to the acre and
twenty-five to thirty bushels Of corn
and twenty to twenty-five bushels OF
wheat and the pea-vines, no end to
them. Some say they can't rotate their
crops, but that is a mistake, for / do
and l know that others can If they will
try. Follow wheat after corn, corn
after cotton, cotton after stubble.
