A PhilanthrOpist.

An earnest worker among the poor
of New York says, according to wri-
ter in Harper's Magazine, that not
long ago an old gentleman, who has
the reputation of being something of a
philanthropist, asked II he could not
accompany her on one Of her rounds Of
visits. Much pleased at his interest,
the worker consented. The destitute
condition Of many families elected ex-
pressions Of deep sympathy from the
old gentleman, but to his companions
surprise and regret, nothing more ma
terial. Presently they came upon o
small girl weeping bitterly.
"What is 1t, my dear?" the old gen.
tleman inquired.
The child raised tear-stained face
and pointed into dark alleyway. "Me
mudder sent me to buy some bread,
an l lost my dime in dere, an I'll get
licked awful" she sobbed.
Poor dear!" he remarked in a ten
der voice, at the same time putting his
hand into his waistcoat pocket. Don't
cry. Here is match; perhaps you

No Come Back.

Some Of the West Indian islanders
have learned that when a foreigner
misbehaves on their shores 1t Is better
to suffer in silence than to mete out
punishment at the risk of descend
ing gunboat from the miscreant's ma
tive land. A Judge in Haiti, however,
recently took occasion to pay off old
scores and to redeem his self respect
in the case Of an offender brought be-
fore him.
To his first question as to the ma
tionality of the accused the interpre-
ter had answered that the prisoner
was from Switzerland.
Switzerland Z" said the judge. "And
Switzerland has no seacoast, has it?'
mo seacoast, your honor" replied
the interpreter.
"And no navy" continued the judge
"And no navy, your honor was the
reply.
"Very well, then" said the judge
"give him one year at hard labor

Improving the Farm Home.

Improving the Farm Home.
While most farm homes are lacking
In the conveniences that make for
comfort, 1t is possible for them to have
many Of these conveniences at a small
cost. Ofttimes the man of the house
does not consider how very inconven-
lent the woman has 1t, SO cannot see
the necessity Of putting in improve
ments in the house, while with his own
work he Is fully alive to the value Of
labor-saving devices.
How many steps the housewife must
take In her daily tasks that might be
saved with little rearranging Of the
kitchen and other rooms of the house
For instance, the cistern or well is usu-
ally located at some distance from the
house and the woman is the one who
usually has to carry the water. At
small cost a pump can be placed in the
kitchen, so that with the same amount
of pumping she can get the water with
out walking for 1t. Then, too, a sink
conveniently located in the kitchen Is
a convenience often lacking in the farm
house.
1t is now possible to arrange a wa
ter supply in the house at a compara-
lively small cost, so that running wa
ter, both hot and cold, can be had in
any part Of the house. This makes It
possible to put in bathroom-a lux
ury that has almost become necessity
with the city householder.
To save the wife's steps and her
strength Is to save her health. Stop
and think how many miles the house
wife in the ordinary farm home must
walk in preparing the three meals
day. In all justice the march of agri-
cultural improvements should not over
look the welfare of the farmers better
half. A little rearranging and improv-
Ing will easily make things more con-
venient and add comfort and happi-
ness for all concerned.-Goodalls
Farmer.

man who has seen In his lifetime vi

presented. He is generally known as
Doc Reitman. OF good family and
education, he graduated in medicine,
and for time practiced his profession.
Then drink and the wanderlust which
to greater or less extent lies dormant
In the best of us, conquered him and
he degenerated to the aimless and

severai years of vagrancy the doctor

fought out the battle against drink and
bad habits. Now he devotes himself
to the unfortunate. travelling about the
country, speaking at missions and try

there realize the folly of continuing
their habits Of life. He has theories
about the treatment Of the homeless
which conflict with generally accepted
practices and his personal experiences
make his opinions worthy Of considera.

For some years an English committee

an international tribute of last and

three hundredth anniversary Of the

arose as to the shape and form Of the

Preparation of Seed Bed.

1t Is always a questionable practice
The sod usually contains but little
moisture, and the process Of breaking
causes one to lose an appreciable por-
tion Of it. says a Colorado bulletin.
Suggestive plan: Plow sod land not less
than three nor more than i've inches
deep, turning sod down as fat as possi-
BILE. and thus prevent Its drying out too
soon. Follow as closely with disc har-
row as practicable and this with some
form Of packer. either single or double
roll. This will level the sod land above.
and firm the soil In the lower portion
of the furrow slice, restoring the capil-
larity where plowing has arrested 1t.
This firmed under-surface soil Is thus
enabled to draw moisture from below
and rive good, normal root develop
ment. Follow up the packer with eth
er an acme or good smoothing bar
row to produce . good earth mulch to
arrest surface capillarity and check
evaporation Of soil moisture. Follow
with the seeder. All small grain should
be drilled in with press-wheeled drill.
followed up with a good spike-toothed
or smoothing harrow. 1t Is almost nee
essary that all tillage operations on
sod be with the burrows rather than
across them to avoid tearing up the sod
and drying out your seed bed. Do not
seed broadcast. Make each tillage op-

When the new crop Is up. cross har-
row to prevent the formation of
crust, and giving the young crop
cultivation. Follow up each rain with
a good narrowing as long as character
of crop will permit.
Early In June prepare seed bed for
the fall and following springs seeding.
Try to hereafter seed only on ground

Remember that roots Of all cultivat-
ed crops make their best growth when
you provide:

Methods Of farming which (a) con-
serve the moisture, (b) prepare good
seed bed. (c) reduce the evaporation
to as near the minimum as possible.
(d) use good vital acclimated seed.
(e) employ crop rotation which has
stock foods prominent, contain at least
one money crop (f) and practice thor
ough tillage Of the ground, often tide
the farmer over bad years and insure
his success In good years.

There Is little whipping in the Eng

confined to historic institutions, such
as Eton, Harrow and Rugby, where the
rich and aristocratic send their sons
and where a peculiar pride Is taken in
maintaining the ancient customs. 1t
may be true that to spare the rod is to
spoil the child. 1t may be fact that
American boys sand girls are allowed too
much indulgence and that they would
have better manners and perhaps better
morals were the old system re-estab-
