from the large boat that. after the mer

Certainly! Hoping had done your
love an injustice, | have been trying
to overhear some such revelation as
this for the last few days" The girls
eyes are beaming now, tender With
love and hope.
Then she breaks forth almost pas
sionately, You owe this to my love
for you. Since you seemed reluctant
to wear me as your bride, to accept
my wifely devotion, my pride has suf

BERLlN'S SEWAGE.
It Is All Turned to Profitable Use
Nnthinn Wasted.

Nothing WaSteu'
The sewage Of the city of Berlin is
disposed of by conveying the liquid
matter to two sewage farms about
eight miles from the city, the one on
the north being known as Blanden-
burg ard the other as Mallowe.
The German plan consists in depos-
iting the sewage up on the farm and
discharging it at various points. SO as
to make the distribution equal and
uniform. At various points wells, or
reservoirs, are established, and by the
use of a simple wooden appliance the
sewage is held O. discharged, as the
management Of the farm requires.
The contents of the little reservoirs
are spread by gravity over small sew
age fields, the surfaces OF which are
practically as nature left them.
Vegetables, fruit trees. shrubs and
things Of similar growth assist in
taking up the sewage by natural proc
esses. and the earth does the rest by
absorption, the air and atmosphere as
sisting. The organic matter is thus
discharged in vegetable growth, and
the liquid IL carried off through the
pores of the earth. The farm is gar
den of all the beautiful things that
nature produces. and the product Is
sold on the provision counters OF the
city.
The interesting feature OF this par
ticular farm is that the efliuent or re-
sulting water is so purified that it Is
collected in q reservoir and pumped
thence back to Berlin. to replenish
the domestic water supply.
Sanitary engineers advise alternate
use Of these filtration beds for the
purpose. among others, as is stated, OF
giving the beds "a rest" up on the
theory that they will do better work

Youno Farmers at Noah's Ark.

Some people say 1t is hard for farm
ers to get hired men. They say men
would rather stay in the city than go
to the country and work. But there
are two hired men on a farm on Long
Island who are perfectly satisfied with
their situations, and would object very
much indeed if they were asked to
leave. They don't get high wages,
either. Elihu, who is a green hand,
gets Is cents week, and Patrick
who is more experienced, having
worked two summers, gets % cents a
week. And, of course, they have their
keep" And when you consider that
the keep" includes tent to sleep in
"a big tent, in green field, with a
gnarly apple tree shading it-and when
you also consider that there is pond
ard the hired men have an hour off
every afternoon for swimming, per-
haps their content is explained. For
Patrick is only thirteen years old and
Elihu is only twelve.
When the two young aunts Of Pat
rick and Elihu decided to give up
teaching and take to chicken raising,
all the family said: What good
chance to train Patrick and Elihu to
work." For Patrick lives in New
York and Elihu lives in Boston, and
there isn't much in either Of these
places for boys to do except go to
school.
The aunts said they thought they'd
better try the experiment with one
boy first. That was last summer. All
summer Patrick fed chickens and
cleaned coops for Is cents a week,
and long before school was out last
June he was counting the days till
he could hire ont again. He never
asked for a raise in his wages, but
the aunts thought he deserved it, be-
cause this summer he has the responsi-
bility of breaking in the apprentice,
Elihu.
