More than once they cast a troubled

they half-expected they might be

Before them was ledge of granite,

heaped a pile of dead forest trees.
Both the parents uttered a cry OF
joy, for here, nestled in each others

Calling them by name, the mother
sprang forward, but suddenly arrested
her steps with a cry of terror upon her

upon their ears.

to spring upon the helpless children.

The Nick Of Time.
BY Duke Cuyler.

Upon the east branch of the Saco,
away up under the shadow OF Double
head, Elias Towle built his cabin and
then commenced the work of clearing
the forest about it.
His family consisted of wife and
two small children, boy and girl.
The former was five and the latter
three years of age.
EARLY and late the pioneer worked
at his task, and one after another of
the forest trees went laundering to the
ground, letting the golden sunlight
where shadows had reigned before.
Thus through the summer he labored
on increasingly, only quitting his work
long enough to care for the little patch
OF corn which he had planted in the
springtime, and to keep themselves
well supplied with game, with which
the forest abounded, or with delicious
speckled trout, which filled the waters
OF the river.
One sultry afternoon he quilted his
work OF telling the trees, and taking
us fishing tackle he started off up the
stream in pursuit of mess of trout
The boy begged hard to accompany

lance he decided that the tramp
would be too much for him, and so
oade him remain at home with his
mother.

Sailing Asparagus.

The old and widely accepted idea
that heavy applications Of common
salt were necessary to grow asparar
gus has been thoroughly disproven by
modern practice as well as by chem
ical examination. Good asparagus, as
is well known, may be grown without
salt, but sometimes upon soils OF the
sandy type better asparagus may De
grown with it. Some tests made at
the Arkansas experiment station call
attention to these facts and advise
those growing asparagus for home
use to plant it in open rows instead
of in the thick bed, as has been the
custom in the past.-Farmers' Home

Clean Water Troughs.

Only water troughs or fountains
that can be easily cleaned should be
used in the poultry yard. Wooden
troughs sometimes become Shiny,
though the water in them appears TO
be clear and clean. A broom and
soapsuds should be used on sucn
troughs, afterwards rinsing thorough
ly with clear water. II this task IS
attended to once a week and the
troughs filled with fresh water every
morning the hens will be amply sup
piled with all the fresh water that
they need. If ducks are kept the
troughs should have Stats of lath
across the top, to prevent them from
wallowing in the water and making it
filthy.

We we'll have. So let our teachers
take every chance for improvement
aud use it to the best advantage.
In many of the school districts in
this parish our people have shown
a desire for better teachers and for
better schools and longer terms by
voting upon themselves a special
tax for schools purposes; the
school board has raised the wages
of the teachers; and if they can

WINTERS BONDS BROKEN.

For several million persons the
beginning of April marks the ex-
piration of four months term of
imprisonment. They have been
shut away, not in solitary coniine-
ment or at hard labor, perhaps,
but nevertheless they have been
restrained of their liberty Boat
ing, swimming, baseball, bicycling,
golf, tennis, gardening, and num-
Der of other things, are among the
prohibited diversions during this
period of imprisonment. But now
the sentence is served, our time is
up, and We are free again. The
annual term of confinement. says
| Youth $ Companion, is one OF the
penalties Of living in a country
where the winters are cold. 1t is
regarded as a matter of c0nrSe :;
something for which we are in no
way responsible and from which
We can in no way escape. But al
ter all, it is, like most prison sen
tences, for onr sins. The snow
keeps us away from our tramps IN
| the woods because we cannot, or
do not, wear foot gear which will
give us mastery Of it. We yield
to the cold because we do not dress
properly to combat it; the rain
keeps US prisoners because our hab-
its of life make us fearful of wet
ting. So it is our sins, not nature,
which condemn us to edo time
for third of every year. The re-
lease is always joyous. To be free
is ever the greatest happiness in
the world; aud if there Is any time
when one ought to take home the
purpose of all enlightened penolo-
gy-that punishment is good only
as a warning and corrective
that time ought to be the moment
| when we have paid the penalty in
full, are free to begin over again.
