rather an original way" said Snoozer
"Some time ago there were a mum.
Der of nights when could not sleep
until just before it was time to rise
in the morning. Then. of course, it
was hard to wake me. My friends
advised all sorts of remedies, but my
wife set her wits to work and found
the right one. The next night | fell
into a light doze after | got into bed.
but in less than twenty minutes
was as wide awake as ever, pitching
and tossing and unable to close my
eyes. Well, my wife got up, struck
match and pretended to look at her
watch Then she said
az wouldn't try to go to sleep, dear,
as it will soon be time for you to get
up now
'That settled it. In three minutes
was asleep and slept like a log
This was repeated once or twice, and
now get my regular sleep every
night. The best of it was that didn't
know for number of days the little
ruse that had been employed to send
me to sleep" -Pearson's.

At the Mouth of ST. John River, Where
Water Flows Up Hill.


Speaking of freaks of the tide, there
is nothing in this world to equal the
phenomenon at the mouth of the st.
John river. where water flows up hill
and down twice daily. These revers-
ing falls are in a class by themselves
in the worlds natural curiosities.
The rise of the tide in the bay of
Fundy, which ranges up to sixty feet,
averages at st. John harbor twenty
eight or thirty feet.
At the mouth of the st. John river
the great body of water is forced
through deep and narrow gorge. On
the one side of this gorge the harbor
opens; above it the st. John river,
nearly 500 miles long, stretches away
into the province of Quebec.
When the tide in the bay of Fundy
Is on the flow, the waters rise with
such rapidity that the level in the har-
Dor becomes in less than an hour con-
siderably higher than the level in the
river
The water is forced through the
gorge at such rate that it literally
falls up into the river, the height of
this fall reaching at times fourteen
feet So great is the area of the river,
so great is the amount of water rising
in the harbor and so narrow is the
gorge that it would take hours longer
than the interval of any tide to bring
the river level up to that of the harbor
at high water.
AS consequence, after the tide has
turned and is on the ebb in the harbor,
the level is still SO much higher than
the river that the tide in the river con-
tinues to rise for two or three hours.
the water still falling upward.
The same force works in the flow.
After the water in the harbor has
fallen until the level in the harbor and
in the river are the same the fall
downward begins. During the next
few hours the harbor recedes until the
drop from the river to the harbor is as
much as sixteen or seventeen feet at
the very lowest tide Once more the
tide turns inward and comes up quick
ly, but over three hours elapse before
it is sufficiently high to counterfeit the
downward flow from the river.
AT half tide there is period Of
something less than an hour when
navigation is impossible. = Boston

TIMELY INDUSTRY.
Autumn seeding-Work In the Orchard
Good Flowing.

Autumn Seeding-Work In the Orchard
Good Flowing.
Grass sown in October is liable to
winter Kill. but if sown just before the
ground freezes will not come up until
spring and will then make a fair CROP
on moist land if plenty of manure has
been used. says American Cultivator
In the orchard young trees should be
looked over for nests of insect pests,
and the sprouts and useless growth
should be taken off. Trees may be set
out in the fall, but in the northeastern
tree planting.
After the apples have beer picked an
application of manure or other fer
tilizing material should be made for
the future benefit of the orchard. A
young orchard or one in bearing should
not be expected to yield good crops OF
fruit without fertilization and proper
care any more than other crops on the
farm. Where attention is paid to this
and keeping the trees properly trim
tanned.
The entire surface of the orchard
should be fortified and not merely
close around the trees. The roots ex-
tend long way. and the small fibrous
ones are those that will make most
use of the fertilizers. There should be
no piles of manure left around the foot
of the trees 10. afford a burrow for
mice.
Fall blowing is a very important part
Of farm work and deserves the best
attention. 1t is the real foundation
upon which good cultivation depends,
and the better this work is performed
the more satisfactory can the other be
accomplished.
Most farmers like to do the larger
part of their blowing in the fall.
Wherever the formation of the land
and kind of soil will permit this can
be safely done, saving much time and
labor another spring when so manv
things claim attention.

and the CARDINAL hearing, being angry,
sent the Duke of Suffolk and the Lord
Dorcy to her, who came with their
men disguised to the kings house near
Iorke, where, leaving their men, they
went to Mr.. Beasley in Yorke and de-
sired him to go with them to Mother
Symptoms house. When they came
they knocked at the doors. She said,
Come in, Mr.. Beasley, and those hon

she threw it into the fire, and it would

his body was burned, and his head

WIT or All IRISH STORY.
Lost, as Rule, When the Tale Is Re-
duced to Cold Type.

Lost, as Rule, When the Tale Is Re-
duced to Cold Type.
Irish wit loses more in reduction to
cold type than that of any other ma
ton on earth" At least that is the
opinion of St Louis Hibernian who
himself furnishes many excellent ex-
amples of the article in question.
when an Irishman perpetrates wit
ticism it is always tinged with per-
.onality which in print or even in the
betelling is often completely lost. There
is always something's wink, smile.
an arch expression. shrug or gesture
that emphasizes the joke and must
be seen to be appreciated. Sometimes
an Irish witticism put into type is mis-
taken for mere dullness of superstition.
81 remember once hearing an Irish
man tell story about a wonderful old
time king on the north coast who
caught the devil at some trick and for
a punishment made Old Harry carve
his own head on one Of the cliffs. The
story was told as seriously as SER
mon would be preached. No one could
apparently be more sincere than the
story teller He seemed to believe the
legend as devoutly as though it came
directly from holy writ.
after he had wound up the narra-
i've. noticing smile on my face, he
stared in apparent surprise. Don't We
behave it? Sure. the old kings ham,
mer and chisel is kept in the church
beyant, and what better proof could
We ak? And he gave wink and
grin and spread out both hands in
gesture of expostulation just as law
yer would when posing before a jury
and putting his most convincing argu-
ment in the form of question
at was the most exquisite bit of act
ing l ever saw The tone of perfect
conviction in which he told the story
was inimitabe: then the contrast from
solemnity TO comic dismay at the idea
of any one being so grossly incredulous
as not to believe the story and the
wink. which indicated that he didn't
believe it himself and was simply talk
ing for amusement. were worthy of
any actor that ever trod the boards.
Yet in the type all this was lost.i To
appreciate properly the wit Of an Irish
story you must hear the Irishman tell
it."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
