able dream. He had been commits
stoned some time before it seemed to
carve the figure of a woman listening.
The statue was to go in the hall of
great musician. Before attempting
anything In marble he decided to work
out his idea In some softer material,
and consequently had huge block OF
chalk brought to the work room. Foul
ards vision of which he had told me
previous to my matutlnal visit was
that he had seen wildly in dream the
features of the statue he was about to
carve. Not only had he seen the fea-
lures, but the expression of the face
and poise Of the body were all deeply
stamped upon his mind
"Getting on" cried Foulard, cheerily,
as he saw me.
He must have worked all night. The
result of his labor was marvellous, and,
if one had not known the nature Of the
material, absolutely incredible. A trihe
over lifesize the statue stood, showing
q pure white against the dark back
ground of curtained walls. The face
was outlined, the sweet contours Of
arms and hands nearly finished, the
sweeping, enchanting curves of Shout
fers and breast practically done. The
chalk was not so keen as marble, of
course: IL had no sheen, but the softer,
sentler effect was, in truth, very pleas
ing. Foulard had been wonderfully
successful in carrying out the idea, SC
far; already the cold, lifeless chalk ex,

Doubt as to Shedding Corn.

1t is not universally admitted that
shredding corn fodder pays. Many
who have tried it seem to feel about
like an Indiana farmer, who says:
II shred my corn fodder, but am not
satisfied that it is a success. Labor
Is too high, and while cattle do very
we'll ON it, horses do not seem to do
as we'll. In my opinion, corn, oats ana
timothy hay is the best combination OF
feed for horses; corn and clover hay
with some bran for beef cattle, and
clover hay, bran. oats and little corn
for sheep. I do not use concentrated
feed l do not grow any special va
riety of corn. The average yield to the
acre one year with another Is about
forty bushels. 1 cut from five to twenty
acres each year, using the corn har-
vester. 1 keep five horses, about TWEEN
ty-five hogs, and from ten to fifteer

Thousands of farmers in the more

Waste of Feed.

Straw, corn fodder and rough hay
are known as coarse foods, because
much Of such foods contain either an
excess of woody fiber and little nu-
triton in proportion to the bulk, or are
not as readily eaten by stock as Is good
hay or food Of better quality. For
this reason there Is large waste Of
valuable feeding material in the Unit
ed States that might be saved and
used If proper attention is given to
the preparation Of foods and the COM
bining Of the different materials in a
manner by which all can be utilized,

Green Food for Small Chicks.


AS soon as the little chick begins to
grow feathers, that is, after the down
age is past, green food is quite neces-
sary to its happiness. If there Is no
danger of the bird being chilled or get
ting wet, then let it have the grassy
run to pick over; even if the weather Is
cool, it will do no harm to let the chicks,
on to the grass in the warm part of the
day, but they must be watched, so that
they do not stay too long and become
chilled. One of the most successful
poultrymen we know makes it prac-
tice to grow a quantity of lettuce in
hotbeds especially for feeding his young
chicks for green food. This seems to be
good plan in his case, because his
birds are Matched very early, before 1t
Is fit to turn them on to the grass.
Don't attempt to raise young chicks
wholly on grain.

AN UNLUCKY SHIP.
She Achieved the Grsndest Exploit
In Nav a History.

In nav Il HAhtOry.
The Bonhomme Richard was an un-
lucky ship Paul Jones himself on
taking command of her at Lorient,
France, wrote most doleful letter
about her to one of his aristocratic
patronesses in Paris. She was "a
wOrnout old lndiaman," and "her fore
castle is babel" Fourteen diff
ferent languages are spoken in my
fOrecastle," said Jones, dismayed at
the appearance of his motley crew.
Two days out at sea the BonhOmme
Richard was fOuled by her consort, the
Alliance, and had her jib boom and
foretopmaSt carried away. Jones then
put back to Lorient, perfectly con-
vinced of the unluckiness Of his ship.
But through that accident he found
ia American seamen who had just
been released from English prisons
by exchange. Among them was Rich
ard Dale, whom Jones at once appoint
ed first lieutenant. These all volun-
teered into the Richard, Jones prompt
ly discharging enough of his polyglots
to make way for them. Prior to that
he had only about forty Americans.
This addition made 154 fighting Yam

who made the Scraps sick few
weeks later off the east coast Of Eng

Thus it happened that the grandest
exploit in naval history was achieved
by an unlucky ship, and she obtained

TIMBER PRESERVATION.
The Most Perfect Method IL Also the
Most Expensive.

The Most Perfect Method Ts Also the
Most Expensive.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or lust below the ground line. The
upper portion of the pole, permanently
in the air, rapidly drying after rain, Is
practically always dry and is rarely
found decayed. The butt Of the pole,
deeply buried in the ground, Is in a
permanently damp condition, but oxy-
gen being excluded 1t Is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where 1t Is ex-
posed to the air and to the heat Of the
sun, which is Just what Its little vege-
table enemies like, but If the albumen
In the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-
ton amounts, then, to poisoning the
food supply of the destructive agencies.
Preservation of timber Is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial; by outward me-
chanicaI means, such as charring in fire
or the applications of antiseptics on the
surface of the stick, and by lmpreg-
mating the wood with antiseptics. OF
these the last is by far the most i'm
portant. The most perfect method
which Is also the most expenslve--is
the injection of dead oil of coal tar in
to the whole fiber of the pOle.-Hart-

BAD SLEEPING HABITS.
Snoring. Grinding the Teeth and
Nasal WhistIing.

Snoring, Grinding the Teeth and
Nasal WhistlinE.
Man is the victim of bad habits In
his sleep as we'll as in his waking
hours. So distressing are some Of
these bad habits of sleep that they
oblige wife and husband to occupy
separate rooms, even at times causing
divorce
Snoring Is of course the commOnest
IL not the worst of sleeps bad habits.
Snoring may be remedied. There are a
dozen patented devices that, holding
the mouth shut tight, prevent the
snore.
Grinding the teeth is disagreeable
habit of sleep. 1t is impossible to sleep
in the same room with any one who
emits at irregular intervals this hide
Gus sound The trick Is said to be In
durable, but rubber cap worn on the
teeth renders the grinding almost
noiseless.
Nervous persons sometimes leap In
their sleep foot or more In the air,
shaking the bed and the whole room.
The man who gives eight or nine OF
these leaps in the course Of the night
soon becomes an intolerable bedfellow
Nerve tonics and exercise should be
prescribed for him.
Nasal whlstling Is habit less easy
to cure than snoring. The sleeper
keeps his mouth closed, but breathes
with distressing sound through his
nose. The sound resembles q low
whistle and, heard In the small hours
Is guaranteed to madden.

contemporary observers during the

LIST of the month as long ago as the
year 1846, and remarkable accounts Of
Its ravages may be found in the jour
mails Of the day. A thunderstorm is not
a good subject for a picture, but there
appeared in one Of the illustrated pa
pers a view Of London during the
storm - from Blackheath," which,
whether a work of pure imagination or
actually drawn from nature, was ex-
ceedingly realistic and impressive. The
special feature Of the storm was the
hail with which it was accompanied,
though the thermometer stood at SO
degrees In the shade. The panes of
glass which were broken by the icy
shower were to be counted by hun
dreds of millions, and so great was the
damage inflicted upon the florists and
nurserymen that month or two after
ward charity tete was held at the
Old Surrey geological gardens for their
relief. 1t is impossible, we are told, to
imagine the aspect which the windows
