with a spark; its flowers are bruised

quiet the home for a whole day, but
Ike unexpected flowers which spring

!. SPIT-LOG DRAG.
Bulletin Number 81 Issued By
The U. S. Agricultural De.
partment Get It. p

A farmers bulletin has just been |
Issued by the Department of Ag-
riculture which should be read and
studied by every man in the country,
whether he has five acre or a
thousand acre farm. 1t is de-
scription of the split-log drag for use
on earth roads. The split-log drag
is by no means a new institution,
but this Is page pamphlet tells why
II is sometimes a failure. For one
thing, it is often made too heavy.
1t should be light enough for man
to lift easily. A dry cedar, elm or.
walnut log is the best material for
drag-far better than oak or hick-
ory Another mistake is in the use
, of squared timbers instead of those
with sharp edges, whereby the cut
ting effect Of sharp edges is lost, and
the drag glides over instead OF equal
izing the irregularities in the .Nurface
OF the road. .. ... .
There are 100000 miles of dirt
roads in the United States, and on
| those which are In any way adequate
ly kept up. The ordinary process of
improving by ditch cleaning, scraping,
ETC., costs annually per mile from $50
to $50 On the other hand the annual
cost of Improvement by the use of
the split log drag, and the plank
ditch cleaner, also described in the
!, bulletin, ranges from $1.50. TO S. per
mile and far better road is the
result. The cost Of constructing
/ either of these implements is at the
most only a few dollars.
BE advantages to be gained from
tAe use of the road drag are umpha-
tAized in ,the bulletin thus; First
the maintenance of smooth. SER
yiceable road, free from ruts and
mudholes. Second, obtaining such a
. road surface with the expenditure
Of very little money and labor in
comparison with the money and la
bcr required for other methods. Third
the reduction of mud in wet wealth
er and of dust in dry weather,
Also several minor benefits, such as
the Punishment Of weeds and grass
from the dragged portion of the road

LOST CHILDREN.

Children lost, lost, lost. Harken
10 the startled cry. Children lost, lost,
Oh men your cities are full of them;
ard they are your children, your
own tender little ones; mothers, the
babies that lay in smiling innocence
upon your bosoms; the dear brave
boys that looked upon you in perfect
confidence and warm impulse love.
Your homes are lonely without them,
your hearts are hungry for their love
Oh, you miss them now; the darlings
Of years; you want the little hands
III your own once more; you want the
warm kiss upon your aching brow,
But life hurries on, and lost, lost, ey-
Ell rings through the darkened aisles
Of time. One by one the drunkards
graves yawn wide and somebody S
darling is gone The midnight reyel
aud the gambling den covers its
CHASTITY dead, and the homes are
in sackcloth and sorrow sits a ia
miliar guest by many hearthstone.
Brave, beloved boys, noble men, fair
bowed maidens and mature womanhoo
oh, how they fall and perish; and
the land is full of "Rachels, weep
ing for their children who will not
be comforted because they are not"

Countess Hertford,s Bell.

Edward Seymour, earl of Hertford, in the days of Queen Elizabeth married as his third wife a beautiful young widow who had been engaged to Sir George Rodney, but whom she tilted for Lord Hertford. Sir George Rodney travelled to Amesbury and, putting up at the inn, awaited the homecoming of the earl and countess, who were ex- pected to arrive the next day. The in- fatuated man wrote a dying ode to his fckle love. using his blood as ink, and upon the arrival of the bridal party he went out to meet them. Lady Hert- ford was agitated and terrified at the appearance of her old lover, and be- fore Sir George could be prevented he drew his sword and, falling on 1t. ex- pired at Lady Hertford's feet. The countess presented bell to Amesbury church perhaps as a slight penance for her f1ckleness. The inscription runs:
 Be strong in faythe. braves God well.

Tiny Death Dealer.

A most ago3izing death is caused by an insect half the size of pea-a small black spider. It lives in Peru, in South America, but few speci- mems have reached Europe in ship loads of timber Not long ago dock laborer was unlucky enough to come upon one in the Victoria docks while unloading bark. The tiny death deal CT dropped upon the back of his hand and dug Its fangs into his flesh. The bite itself was nothing, but as soon as the poison began to work the man fainted with pain. Soon afterward he came to and lived three days before the end came. This spiders venom scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through all the tissues, caus- ing the most fearful agony human being can have to bear. The worst of 1t Is that the victim lives at least two days, enduring unthinkable anguish the whole time. This spider Is luckily not common It Is known as the "specky," and when a man who knows what the bite means Is bitten he gen. erally blows out his brains.-London Chronicle.

 Little Helen promised to remember and say nothing. But when the oys- ters were served Helen discovered a small oyster in her plate which had ac- cidentally been ladled up with the broth. This puzzled the little girl, as she could not recall any instructions covering this contingency. After studying a few moments she dipped the oyster up with her spoon and, hold ing 1t up as high as she could, piped out Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs. Young have this oyster tooY'-Chris- tian Register.

COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Connecticut Household Will
 Find Them So.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous. urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove com forting words to hundreds of Connecticut readers.
 Mrs. NJ. Wagner, of l327 Kossuth St, Bridgeport, Conn. says: Il suffered for years from kidney trouble. There was a severe pain across my Joins so that l could not rest at night. When l caught cold it settled in my kidneys and at such times I became weak, and also very nervous. After trying several remedies without relief procured Doan's Kidney Pills at F. $. Stevens drug store, and they soon relieved me of the aches and pains. The nervous and weak feeling also left me. I can speak as highly in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills to-day as l did six years ago when recommended them through the papers.
