it from one of its exchanges etc, but
it is never the less mighty good advice
and contains splendid sermon: Bow
low the head, do reverence 10 the Old
man, once like you. The vici~situdes
of life have silvered his hair and
changed the round merry face TO the
worn visage before you. Once the
heart beat with aspirations crushed
by disapointments as yours, perhaps,
is destined to be Once that form
stalked proudly through gay scenes OF
pleasure, the beau ideal of grace;
now the hand of time, that, withers
the flower of yesterday, has bent the

the thousand thoughts that pass
6hrough your brain, now wishing to
accomplish deeds equal to a nook IN
fame; anon imagining life Il dream
that the sooner he awoke from it the
better But he has lived the dream
very near at hand; his eve never
kindles at old deeds of daring. and

would in your old age be reverenced-

prey of The sparrow Hawk,

The sparrow hawk almost Invariably
catches flying bird for its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a black bird. II does not
exactly swoop Ike the larger hawks,
yet II must have conditions OF chase
Of its own choosing. That is why the
small birds usually mob 1t with lmpu-
nifty when they are numerous enough
to bewllder IT, Once, however, I saw
sparrow hawk that had been molest
ed for some minutes by perfect cloud
OF green fnches, dart among them and
secure a victim.
The other day ! had one OF these
birds pointed out as the one which, a
few days earlier. had come close to
the house toward dusk and caught
bat on the wing. That, however, is a
very unusual meal.-London News.

To stack wheat before threshiag Sc
that it Will be dry when that time
comes, Is the desire OF every farmer
who raises that cereal Mr. C. T.
Pritchard, OF Randolph, Clay county,
Mo, has a system that he has used for
a generation, and he never lost bit OF
wheat by dampness in the stack. He
has great reputation in his home for
this class Of work, and he spends a
large part OF his time in showing 9th
ers how TO do II. He gives a descrlp-
ton Of his method as follows:
ITO stack wheat or oats so stack
VIII not take water Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack FIVE or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
OF stacking, and do II from the center
to the outer edge, instead OF from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin AT the center to stack out, lay
two or three bundles 80 as to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to-
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be-
fore you get there, and 90 back to the
center and commence again. BE sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant TO the outside.
This way Is Just about the same as
one shock on top OF the other, only
more slant TO the bundles.
There is no slip or slide. 1t is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
II you are stacking the usual way, and
he stack should begin to SLIP, Just go
% the center and work out, and see
low quickly you stop the slipping. Mix

co.t Of Hauling Crops.

The bureau OF statistics recently sent
ont special Inquiry circular to ascer-
tain the cost OF hauling farm crops to
shipping points, and the compiled re-
suits representing replies from nearly
1000 counties in different parts OF the
United States indicate that the guam
tity Of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 49OO0.O00 tons. The cost
OF hauling the same Is estimated at ap-
proxlmately Ss5,0o0OOo. which is an
average OF sh cents per hundred
weight.
In general, the hauling cost Is TO a
large extent dependent upon the value
OF the articles hauled. the more valu-
able products taken to market oftener
and in smaller loads. and therefore at
a greater cost. Corn, wheat, hay and
potatoes are hauled at from to o
cents per 100 pounds; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, 10
cents, and wool. Al cents.

Dust Sir Lauder Brunton regards as
one of the greatest enemies of old age,
since it is a frequent cause of colds

AT the time when ! used my con-

occasion to consult book from one OF

"This occurred with such regularity
that at last l took to sponging the top

to be guarded against.

the head it is much more dangerous.
Largely open windows are compar-
atlvely safe, but chink through which
the air blows with force is to be care
fully avoided.
Zone reason of this probably Is that
wind blowing through a chink causes a
more rapid current Of air and thus
chills the part of the body against
which it impinges much more quickly
than air moving slowly and still more
than air which is not moving at all"
Improper mastlcation Of food Is also
a fruitful cause of organic diseases in
middle age.

The First marlborough.

Herbert Paul in his book on Queen
Anne of England paints a queer picture
of the great Duke of Marlborough.
He was not truthful. He was not
straightforward He was not honest.
In his love of money and his capacity
for boarding it be rivaled those wretch
ed mlsers who have done no mora
than contemplate their gains. And yet,
such are the strange freaks In which
nature INDUCES, this mean and selfish
intriguer was endowed with perfect
courage, with an irresistible charm Of
manner, with temper which even his
wife failed to disturb, with a brain
that no sophlstry could obscure and
with a military genius before which
criticism Is humbly silent.
He was treacherous even In treach-
erous age. Wholly devoid of cruelty
and by nature humane, he is said new
er to have sacrificed an unnecessary
life. He used his fellow creatures for
his own purposes, and when he had no
further use for them he forgot their
existence. He made his plans and car
ried them out with the absolute eff
cheney of sheer intelligence and the Sc
rene implacabllity of impersonal fate.

The Err md The chlcl..

That immutable law of physics that
matter cannot be annihllated, or, vice
versa, created out OF nothing, appears
TO have some doubters even in this day
OF general education. The old query,
which weighs the most, the egg or the
chicken that is Matched from the egg, Is
very good example OF this lack Of
faith. To settle the matter for the
hundredth time, experiments were re-
Gently undertaken AT one of the agri-
cultural stations engaged In poultry
studies. II was found that fertile
egg during the process OF incubation
lost little over 20 per cent in weight,
while the chick batched from such an
egg weighed 30 per cent less than the
egg before Incubation. A sterile egg
receiving similar treatment lost not
quite 10 per cent in weight.
