The long haired woman from New

shopping one day last week. Her city
niece guided her through the depart
ment stores. Everywhere Aunt Jane
declined to use the elevator.

"I want to know where the stairs are
on every floor

but why won't you use the ele-

the fifth floor
Because I've got horse sense said
Aunt Jane There are 1000 women
in this store this very minute. All but
nineteen of them ride in the elevators.
Not fifty OF them even know where the
stairs are. You didn't yourself NJ, |
prowled round and found them. I'm

Henry Clay az n Twine splicer.

1t has been said that Henry Clay
achieved success so easily that he
quite misunderstood others and over
estimated himself. But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
he had to Go. In 1.-The True Henry
Clay" the author gives an instance OF
this:
At fourteen Henry became clerk in
store in Richmond, whittier the fam
lily had removed. Stories are told OF
his willingness TO do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproved by the store.
keeper for wasting too much twine.
Thereafter he saved every scrap he
could get and tied the pieces together.
Again it was explained that using this
sort of twine might be offensive to the
customers, as it made the packag
look untidy by reason Of too many
knots. So he consulted with sailor
at Richmond, who showed him how to
splice strings with smooth joint.
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces Of twine Of
the same sizt, into continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this he
was SO much pleased that lie. had all
twine saved and turned the task Of
splicing it over to young Henry, with
the result that the young mans enth"
siasm rapidly abated.

Heroism RcWnrtlC Il.

Years ago vessel WAS wrecked on
the northwest coast of Ireland. Crowds
gathered ON the beach to witness the
scene. A few brave men came forward
and put out to the sinking vessel. AS
they came back to the shore with their
burden of human lives the watchers
cried: Have you got them all! Are
they all saved" "Yes." was the an
swer, "all but one. II we had stayed
for him all would have been lost" In
stantly stalwart fellow stepped out
from the crowd and called for volun-
teers. The mother begged the young
man not to go. saying: Your father
was lost at sea; your brother William
sailed away, and we have never heard
from him. If you 80 my all will be
lost" Embracing her, he said. Il must

turning. Have you got your man?'
cried the watchers. YES" was the re-
ply. "and tell mother 1t is brother Will

At the risk of wearying our readers
with much discussed topic we cannot
resist the temptation of saying another
word on the subject of the ravages of
the brown tailed moth and the necessity
of prompt action on the part Of each and
every individual. 1t is idle for men to
argue that this pest has been in England
for hundreds Of years and is making no
perceptibls onslaught on agricultural
progress and success. In the first place
it is questionable If England has had this
pest for any considerable number OF
years, and then on the other hand agri-
cultural conditions are entirely different
abroad and in this country. The best
Judges, those who have had the best
opportunity to study the matter, are
very positive that no pest that has ever
invaded this country is for moment to
be compared with this with which we
are now dealing.-Turf, Farm and Home

Large Crops of Grass.

was much interested in the brief
report of Mr.. Schwenk's success with
the grass crop, as given in the New
England Farmer, March 4. There are
several points worth noting as contribu-
tors to this success: Ground well manur-
ed with crop of corn or potatoes; then
in autumn as early as possible fitting the
land in the best possible manner 80 as
to make a fine mellow soil on which a
liberal amount of grass seed, such as he
prefers, is sown. The next spring 300
pounds of commercial fertilizers suitable
for grass is sown, and afterwards for five
or six years the practice Is continued,
and as the result during this period three
to four tons of hay to the acre is secured.
There is no doubt but this can be done
on naturally good grass land under like
conditions to those given.
The first idea is to have the land in
suitable condition to commence with,
and then after securing a good sward
from the seeding to stimulate it to imme-
diate and large productiveness by the
annual application of fertilizers.
Here is point worthy OF notice: 1t is
much easier keeping field thus pre-
pared in productive condition with this
treatment than it is to bring up one that
is run out, even with larger applications.
A field on which the grass has become
run out should be plowed, fertilized and
reseeded; then keep in productive con-
dition with these annual spring applica-
tions of fertilizers in moderate quantities.
Where manure is used for this pur-
pose the same rule will apply only that
it had better be applied in autumn or
winter, but moderate amount each
year is better than single large one.
Some years ago the writer tried this
method to some extent on a grass field
of several acres. think it was the sec.
ond year after seeding an application OF
only 100 pounds standard superphos-
phate to the acre was sown in early
spring. The result was highly satisfac-
tory. 1t was estimated that One-half a
ton of hay extra to the acre was obtain
ed from the use of this 100 pounds OF
fertilizer.
think this method was followed for
four years with equally good results,
when it became necessary to plow, de-
| vote to other crops and again seed to
grass. This was soil that was strong,
hard and little moist, difficult to cul-
tivate but good for grass.
With rotation now much practiced
where the land is only in grass for three
years at time before being devoted to
other crops, there should be profitable
yields of hay obtained and Of better quail,
ity than when longer rotation is fol.
lowed. We find this to be the case and
at the same time the farm should be in.

The Original Lovers Leap.

Sappho's Leap was the name given
to Il white cliff or promontory ancient
ly called Leucadia. now Cape Ducnto'
at the southern extremity Of Santa
Maura. one Of the Ionian islands. 1t
was 80 called because Sappho, the
poetess, is reported to have thrown
herself from this height into the sea.
A criminal, with birds attached to him
to break his fall. was thrown from the
cliff at the annual festival of Apollo
and II he reached the water unhurt he
was picked up by boats placed there
for that PURPOSE. This is the rock from
which, according to the story, lovers
throw themselves In order to be free
from the pangs Of love.

Langham entered the parlor. Yes, he

against Elizabeth Langham in favor

The telephone bell tangled twice, but
he did not hear. At the third call he
rose from his chair. A moment later
