Sss&y himself might play the part OF an
Alexander Selkirk, until he started
to explore the beautiful island upon which he
had so strangely been cast.
And, as he forced his way through the
dense underbrush, all at once the familiar
story came fresh to his mind and he remem-
bered how ardenty he had longed for just
such life-only for little while, OF course
where, free from lessons and duties of every
kind, he could do just as he pleased in his po-
sition of monarch of all he surveyed. But,
now, how different were his feelings!
God forbid that l ever should be obliged
to live here in solitude!" said Fred, with a
shudder, for he was older now, and realized
what terrible thing it would be to be shut
out from civilization how it would weaken
ones mental powers, and what tendency
such a life would have to make one inactive
and useless.
He tried to shake off the gloomy forebod-
ings which these thoughts of his lonely situa-
tion had aroused Yet he knew, in his heart,
that it might be months before he should
be rescued,
He had read that, even at the present day,
there are many undiscovered islands in the
Pacific, and he could not form the most re-
mote idea as to the location of the one where
he then was.
1t might, or might not, be the one described
by Kelly. 1t it was, his chances of getting
off were not SO remote. if not
But he would not suffer himself to be cast
down. With his jack-knife, so fortunately
recovered from Dan Leary, he cut a stout
club from species OF iron wood tree, so hard
that it almost turned the edge of the blade,
and pressed forward through the almost i'm
penetrable shade.
The only signs of life visible we're the birds
many of them being of rare beauty-whch
fitted about in the tree tops. There were
large iocks of tiny paroquets, crested cocka-
toos and lories, while humming birds of every
kind flashed through the air, or darted in and
out among the wealth of bossoming creepers,
and wood pigeons cooed in the depths of dense
thickets.
But there was a sameness of vegetation,
he had gone mile. Bread fruit, pandanus,
cocoanut--with an occasional glimpse of plan
tains or limes-repeated themselves over and
over again as he advanced
Wearying of this, he again sought the shore
of the lagoon, about three miles from the
place where he had landed.
But there was only the same long stretch
of glittering white beach and calm water
while the air was filled with the monotonous
roar OF the Pacific breakers, as they dashed
against the encircling reef without

and in a boat which could only sail by the
wind, it was running pretty Dig risk thus to
set out, and even his terrible solitude had not
fully determined him to undertake so perilous
voyage.
The frequent rainfalls had forced Fred to
close in the front part of his abode. and to
build a rude oven in the further end.

Song Birds to Be Protected.

Tho Vermont Bird club through its sec
retary. Geo H. Ross Of Rutland has issued
statement to the effect that it VIII seek
Inc enforcement OF the law for the protec-
tion OF the song birds in this state. There
has been considerable slaughter Of birds by
foreigners particularly, aud the club has
decided 10 take definite action in the mat
ter Following is a set Of resolutions re-
Gently passed by the club
Whereas, reliable reports Of the unlaw.
full killing Of birds have come to the knowl-
edge Of the Vermont Bird club be It re-
solved by this club, in annual summer meet
inc assembled on Mt Mansfield, this 4th day
Of July. 1906. that the existing laws in re-
gard 10 the protection of the birds in sour
state should be observed more strictly, and
that such laws should be thoroughly enforced
by the proper officials.
Be il resolved that the state game warden
he notified of such infringements of the law;
that he be urged to instruct the county
game wardens to investigate and prosecute
violations Of the law in their respective
counties.
whereas, birds are the property of the
state and not of the individuals upon whose
land they dwell, and whereas birds are of
great economic and aesthetic value TO the
state. be it resolved that the Vermont Bird
club appeals to the general public to see
that our bird laws are strictly enforced, that
birds are not wantonly and illegally killed
Be it further resolved that these resolu-
tons in whole or in part, be printed in the
newspapers OF Vermont under the signature
of the secretary of the club.

A Good Crop for Tobacco Fields.

Russian or hairy vetch, leguminous Glow
err crop, has been tested by the bureau Of
plant industry at the several experimental
stations in the Connecticut Valley, ana is
found to be acclimated to the severe winters
of New England 1t can be used to great
profit as a cover crop for tobacco heids ana
at the same time is almost rs desirable as
alfalfa as fodder for cattle, and the ten
drills, gather the nitrogen from the air and
secrete ii in small gobues on the roots Of
the plants In spring these roots are plowed
under and to great extent do away wlth
the necessity of adding nitrogen as fer
tilizer to the soil.
On the average the amount of nitrogen
added by nature is equivalent to a ton OF
cotton seed meal per acre, and more IMAM
one-half Of this nitrogen is clear gam that
is, taken from the air. As fodder crop
vetch is prolific and Canadian reports show
a Weld of IA, 600 pounds or seven tons OF
green forage per acre. As cover crop IL
prevents the washing away of the soil IN
the spring foods and later prevents the
blowing of the land in dust during the high
winds of spring. During the washing and
blowing of the soil enormous amount OF
nitrogen is released and cover crop OF
some sort is generally conceded to be OF
great value
While vetch is to be looked on only as
an addltIonaI legnlne WHICH may po VI N"i"S
to New England, its hardy nature, as proven
by two years work at the experiment sta
tions, indicates its ability to Withstand any
sort Of New England winter. 1t is so pro
life in fodder, nitrogen and seed that It's
economy is certain.
The season for planting vetch is just al
ter cutting the tobacco, in August, if posi-
BILE. otherwise not later than the middle OF
August 1t should be sown broadcast at tne
rate of one and one-half bushels of seed to
the acre and in no case less than one ana
one.quarter bushels per acre. If possible
inoculated seed should be sown, although eN'
cellent results have been obtained from I'M
inoculated seed. 1t is hoped that many
farmers will sow at least part OF their neias
with vetch, as the department feels certain
that it will prove its value.
1t is considered by many that these sug-
gestions, coming as they do from the experts
of the department of agriculture at such an
opportune time, should be used by every
progressive farmer who raises tobacco ana
is willing to try to cut down the expense
OF the chemical fertilizers required every
year.

SEQ, 900 A YEAR FOR FLAGS.
Each Ship in United States Navy Carries $50
Different Ones.

Slowed away on every ship Of the Unit
ed States navy, from tugboat TO 10000 ton
battlcship, is bundle Of flags, shoulder
high and about IS feet long. Abont half
the lot is composed Of foreign hags, which
are encased IN thick paper bags, with the
name Of the country stencilled ON the end
OF the bag The remainder, including those
Tor ordinary use, are not wrapped, but ued
In round bundles and iettered. The pile
contains $50 flags, the regulation number
each ship must carry.
The making OF this number Of flags costs
the United states 100000 a year Of which
S48. 900 is paid for material alone. Each
ship has a. foreign flags ON board constant
ly. These days are IS feet long and 10 feet
wide. With these on board the ship Is pre-
pared 10 meet and show the proper eourtesies
which naval etiquette demands TO oil nations
whose waters the vessel should enter while

Above the volcano is rising sun, set in
design OF Overlooking cornucopias, and
diamond from which the rays are seintillating
IN every direction. 10 the right and left
Of the volcano are draped, in varied design,
banners which laborously try to pattern
the Stars and Stripes, and yet not show the
plagiarism. Around the whole concatena-
ton Is a wreath Of cactus lovingly embrac'
ing the volcano, while at the top the date OF
the countrys independence is inscribed.
To make nag OF San Salvador costs the
government just $780, aud when one Of
these nags Is placed on each battleship every
three years II can be readily seen that the
little republic to the south OF
us Is really costing the taxpayers of the
country NOR than they would care to al
nit Then there Is the flag OF CHINA, with
