London's bad season. with duh
gray skies and chill winds, Is partly
compensated for by the promise Of
good grouse shooting Parliament has
risen in time for the sport, and that
part of society which Is not already
ION the continent" is bound northward
for the moors. Summerless England
is exchanged for Scotland, which,
when the grouse are plentiful and In
good condition, is good place to be,
even IL the weather Is wet. Bright
skies over the moors transform the
sportsman's part Of Scotland into a
semblance Of paradise. To be sure.
the serpent is there The guns crack
and the birds are slaughtered by the
thousands. But they have fulfilled
their destiny. Who can do more?
And mighty good eating is a we'll
cooked grouse from the Grampian
hills.

Nearly one million new farms have
been created in the United States du-
ring the last ten years. In the last
ten years the total number of farms
has increased 10 per cent. says Amert-
can Agrfculturist. In the older st2tes,
from Ohio eastward, there has been
going on for twenty years tendency
coward the amalgamation Of farms dis
kant from market into larger holdings.
On the other hand. this section has
Witnessed the cutting up into smaller
sizes Of many farms nearer to mar
ket. There are now almost three
dimes as many farms as in 1870. and
AN unprecedented Increase In the
value of farm lands and live stock.

There is one boat on the Hudson
river that refuses to be Oslerized. AL
though the word fast Is not usually
relished when applied to the feminine
gender, the Mary Powell glories tn
the epithet and has made friends by
it. This boat Will complete this sea-
son fifty years of service. and the
semi-centennial anniversary will be
appropriately celebrated. Captain
anderson has served on the boat forty
wears in various capacities. The Mary

a feat which beats that OF the girl IN
Grimm's fairy stories who had to pick
Ientils out of the ashes That girl had
beautiful blue eyes, and even at that
she had to call on her fairy godmotner
to help her out. But Peter. who ~
totally blind, can take lettuce and
carrot seeds mixed together and sep
arate them correctly, though they are
enough alike to deceive many persons
who have their sight.
Peters latest accomplishment Is to
distinguish bright colored flower pet
ais one from the other apparently By
some subtle difference In the texture
of the blossom. That doesn't mean
that he could tell whether it's a pale
pink or light blue aster. or recog-
nize any fine graduation Of tint, but he
knows a red petal from yellow one.
Altogether the instructors are much
pleased with the summers experiment
and are as eager as the boys to con-
tinue It next year.

In East Haddam, about sixteen
miles north from the mouth Of the
Connecticut river. hanging in the bel
fry Of st. Stephens church and IN use
today, is bell that was cast in Spain
over 1000 years ago. The Spanish in
scription stating that the bell was
cast In Spain in S15 and the name Of
the priest who blessed 1t are all very
distinct. Those who have interested
themselves In this valuable old relic
claim the church in Spain where It
originally hung was destroyed by Ma
poleon, this bell and many others be-
ing sent to America, where there was
a good market. 1t is % inches high
and 81 inches in diameter at the base.

for he had to take care to burn Just
in the right place and not burn up
the whole tree. Then the charred
part had to be scraped ce" with a
stone tool.
After this the tree trunk had to be
burnt out and scraped with a stone
tool. The Indian must have been
very patient and hard working to
make even this simple kind of boat.

mers waxed so tense that the distinc-
ton between meum and tuum was
frequently lost to view and the boy
whose beans matured early was like
ly to find himself minus the beans.
Even the observation plots in charge
of the instructors were robbed of their
prize products. But to the credit OF
the farm be it said that while the de-
struction walked around them the
blind boys crops were left undis-
turbed.
This harvesting was followed by
the second planting. In this Peter
and Carl showed such marked i'm
provement that Mrs. Parsons believes
that gardening in some of its branches
can be made an employment for the
blind. The sowing of beets and car
rots by the blind boys was the best
done on the farm.
In few weeks Peter and Carl have
learned to distinguish the different
seeds entirely by feeling. Peter has

who put it out before the arrival

was probably started by some boys
smoking and throwing away their
matches. 1t was very windy day
and there are number OF sheds
and buildings adjoining, so thai a

en- the fire a start that would have

Lost $3.50, 900 at Faro

Boston, Mass, March 26.-That he
lost to faro, or fake faro, sharpers
in New York $215,000, of which he
stole $1sO,000 from the National
City Bank of Cambridge, is the
substance of the confession of Geo.
w. Coleman, the young bookkeep
er under arrtes here for loo ing the
insti u ion. Coleman has imp@c. It
ed others in the story he has told.
He acknowledges his own guilt,
but he duplicates members of the
faro gang as having melted him
to steal the funds of the bank and
give the money to them to risk on
the game in New York.
Coleman's confession was made
in the presence of his attorney, IL.
H. Winslow, Chief Inspector Hur-
ley, Inspector Neil, one of the Cam
bridge police, and his fiancee, Miss
Mamie Hightower, of Kansas City.
Coleman said that on several of
his visits to New York he met Miss
Hightower. Coleman introduced
the young woman to his friend,
and they had dinner together and
went to the theatre on number
of occasions. Coleman said his last
visit to New York was late in Janu
AIRY when he lost $4,000. After that
he decided to quit gambling as he
had then succeeded in wi hid awing
practically $lso.Ooo from the Nation
al City Bank by the use of checks
which We're paid through the Bos-
ton clearing house. Miss High
tower is former Marshall girl.

81, 1910. He was the only child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil Stockdale.
The grow white casket with ali
that remained earthly of little
David was taken 20 Grand Pass
last Wednesday by his loved o!ses,
and after a beautiful tribute OF
song and prayer services, was in
tered in the cemetery there by
the side of others who had goAc
to heaven many years ago. But
the pure spirit was in the Heaven
ly Home in the smile of our Saw
ors' love. Sometime "Lifes Shad-
ows" are deep and seemingly more
shadow than sunshine in life as
we journey from earth to Heaven.
But through the twilight of shzd
ows we are imbued with hope and
with an eye of faith we look far
beyond and view with our spir.:-
ual eye the brilliant home prepar
cd for all who love him.
This little life of only two short
years was lent for a short while.
His presence is felt in tender mem
cry as the fragrance OF a beauti-
full flower.
God is good. He bestows upon
US so many blessings and the hap
py privilege of meeting our loved
ones some sweet day when our
earthly life is over. God grant all
may be true to- Him who doeth
all things well. So with an eye
of faith and trust in God travel
down the vista of years and be
worthy of the welcoming OF little
David as he stands with beckon4
oning hands. Mrs. A. Err.
