TELL 1T TO THE MARINES.
Now Famous Phrase First Used by
Charles the Second.

Now Famous Phrase First Used by
Charles the Second.
The saying "Tell it to the marines"
famous DIARY" and it is said by him
TO have originated with Charles III. OF
England. 1t so befell, as the story
goes, that his light-hearted majesty.
with an exceedingly bored expression
on his swarthy face, was strolling In
the shade with the ingenious Mr..
Pepys, secretary to the admiralty.
II had speech yester cen at Dept
ford,' said Mr.. Pepys, with the cap
tain OF the Defyance, who hath but
lately returned from the Indies and
who told me the two most wonderful
things that ever think I did hear
in my life" Among the stories told
were Of fish flying in the air. "Flsh
flying in the air." exclaimed his maj
esty. "Ha! ha! quaint conceit,
which 'twere too good to spoil WI
keeping. What no! sir'-he turned
and beckoned the colonel, Sir William
KiIligrew Of the newly raised mari
time regiment on foot, who was fol-
lowing in close conversation with the
duke OF York-"We would discourse
with you on a matter touching your
element. What say you, colonel, to a
man who swears he hath seen fishes
fly in the air."
81 should say. sir returned the
sea soldier simply, that the man hath
sailed in southern seas. For when
your majesty's business carried me
thither of late did frequently observe
more flying fish In one hour than the
hairs of my head in number
His majesty glanced narrowly at
the colonel's frank, weatherbeaten
face. Then with a laugh he turned to
the secretary.
"'Mr. Pepys,' said he, from the
very nature of their calling no class OF
our subjects can have SO wide a knowl-
edge of seas and lands as the officers
and men OF our loyal maritime regi-
ment. Henceforth ere ever we cast
doubts upon tale that lacketh likeli-
hood we will first tell 1t to the ma
rineS.'"

Chemical Weed Killer.

A chemical weed killer has been de-
veloped or tested by the Wisconsin cx-
pertinent station in attempts to kill
etc. The peculiar thing claimed for this
poison is that when sprayed on grow
ing grain crop infested by weeds It
kills the weeds without injury to the
cultivated crop. The solution used
consists of 100 pounds of iron sulphate
dissolved in fifty-four gallons of water,
which amount will spray an acre.

Hillside Farms.

The hill lands of Georgia are not per
mitted to wash away down the steep
Lillsides. Around such hills there are
bands or terraces thrown up with great
care To stop the downward rush of wa
ter, and thus the washing tendency is
checked as soon as begun. These belts
of firm sod land are most effective.
They rise one above the other In steps
of five or eight feet i'm vertical height.
The rows bend around the hill, con-
forming strictly TO these terraces. This
is a most excellent system and one bad
liz needed on many farms Of the new
uthwest.-Exchange.

The General Purpose Farm Horse.

Very many of our farmers get the
idea that all they have to do is to breed
their nondescript mares to the leggy,
coarse type of 50 called coach horses
being peddled through the country to
get the general purpose farm horse.
have seen hundreds of colts from this
kind of breeding and must say that not
) per cent of them are even fair speci-
mems of the general purpose horse,
while 80 per cent or more are failures
from every point Of view.
| have seen much better results
where the coach stallion has been a
finer and more compactly built one or
where a hackney or American trotter
of compact, smooth, muscular type
has been the sire. These observations
have led me to the conclusion that this
latter plan is the surest one to bring
some measure of success I'm producing
the general purpose farm horse.-Geo.
McKerrow, Wisconsin.

Oats may be a portion Of a ration for
hogs. but they are much more satisfac-
tory If they are ground. Mixed with
corn, oats and shorts, they add materi-
ally to the value of any hog feed. They
should not constitute more than one
fourth of the grain ration. A mixture
of oats and peas ground and fed as a
swill is exceedingly valuable.-Ameri-

CHAPTER V.

The manuscript, which was sealed on
its cover in many places, consisted of
several pages of close writing. and Of
sketches and scraps from newspapers
italian. French and English. The sketches
i looked al first. and was not a little
surprised to see that one Of them was the
portrait Of the man known as Roaring
Uohn," and there was wit hthis a blur
red and faint outline of the features of
the seaman called -Four-Eyes' But
Nhat, perhaps, was even more difficult to
understand was the picture of the great
hull Of what | judged to be a warship,
showing her a-building. with the work yet
progressing on her decks. The newspaper
cuttings | deemed to be in some part an
explanation Of these sketches, for one of
them gave a description of a very note
worthy battleship, constructed for
South American republic, but in much
secrecy.
All this reading remained cnigmatical,
of course, and as / could make nothing Of
IL to connect it with the events | have
narrated. ! went on to the writing. which
was fine and small, as the writing Of an
exact man. And the words upon the
head of it We're these:

but the Interpreter hurried them -
