Florence NIGHTINGALE.

There is story that after the return
to England of the troops from the
Crimea Lord Stratford at a dinner
suggested that those present should
write on piece of paper the name OF
the person whose Crimean reputation
would endure longest When the
votes came to be examined it was
found that not single soldier had re
ceived a vote. Every paper bore the
same two words-Florence Nightin-

be as little as an inch in a hundred
feet it is clear that an error of three
inches either up or down in the proper
laying of the tile might cause water to
stand to sufficient depth In the tile
to practically fill one three inches in
diameter. and this would cause the
sitting up of the tile so as in time to
render the section above the error in
laying entirely inefficient.
When the tile has been brought
finally into place great care should be
taken to turn each piece until close
joint is secured on the top and as far
as possible down the side and to see
that it lies solidly upon its bed before
any filing is placed over it. Enough
earth should then be added TO hold the
tile firmly and prevent their becoming
displaced when the final filing is done.
1t is important that the filing or all

TILE DRAINING A FIELD.

Importance of Paying Attention to All
Details of the Work.
The first and most important consid-
Grafton in the draining of any field Is
how to secure proper outlet. This. if
possible, should have free outfall al
ways above water and so protected as
never to become INSTRUCTED. If the out
let is permitted to terminate beneath
water a certain section Of the drain
must remain continuously full of
water, and under these conditions
there is danger of silt depositing, clos
ing the drain and rendering the whole
system ineffective.
1t should be so made as to be unin-
jured by freezing and not in danger of
being clogged through the tramping of
animals about it. Either sewer tile or
vitrified draintile. which will not be
crumbled by the action of frost, should
be laid for the first fifteen or twenty
| feet. If neither of these are available
the next best plan is to bed the ordi-
nary tile in good concrete to depth
of four or five inches and at the mouth
build up with the concrete a protect
ing face sufficient to prevent the cav
| ing of earth about the outlet 1t is WELL
| too, to extend the concrete In a slop-
| ing apron two or three feet, on which
the water may spill without eroding
Across the mouth Of the tile there
should be bedded in the concrete when
it is laid few vertical bars of half
inch iron rod to prevent the entrance
Of animals. The outlet may discharge
into stream or lake or into an open
ditch, but in whatever place there
should be no possibility of it ever be-
ing more than temporarily under water
or otherwise obstructed.
Unless the fall for the drain can be
very considerable its laying must be
done with great care, the amount of
care to secure perfectly uniform grade
increasing the smaller the fall must
be. To illustrate. in case the fall must

BY the time the Apostles died the
regular meetings, pastors and teach
ers, the Gospels and Epistles, and
some of them had begun to develop
the fruits of the Spirit. Thus the early
Church naturally outgrew the tongues
and miracles and entered larger
sphere, just as a child loses It's swad
ding clothes in favor of more suitable
attire. For Gods people today to de-
sire to go back to speaking with
tongues, etc., such as was practised,
and very proftably, in the early
Church, would be like an adult person
desiring to be dressed and treated as
a babe. 1t is our understanding that
the speaking with unknown tongues
I'm religious meetings, which is grad
ually spreading over the world, is a
deception being practised upon earnest
children of God, who are deceived by
the fallen angels-the demons of the
Bible. They are thus enslaved to err
ror and have their attention drawn
away from the Truth. To what ex-
tent the ministers Of Christ Of today
are responsible for the delusion Of
these poor people is not ours to de-
termine. Had the spuriousness of the
last verses of st. Marks Gospel been
duly pointed out from every pulpit, as
soon as the old MSS. were known,
some, at least, might have been spared
from this snare-some who, under mis-
understanding. have been hindered
from proper expectations in respect to
Gods Word and led improperly to ex-
pect the power of tongues and mira
cles suggested in this spurious passage.

day that he knew of barn which had
been new silled three times in the
space Of sixteen years. says a CORE
spondent of the American CultiVator.
Think of what a burden Of work and
expense that would be.
But that is what is going on all over
the country every year. The stills,
Bleepers and posts of our barns rot
away. and we must replace them or
let the buildings go down.
The trouble many times in such
eases is that we have not provided air
enough around our foundation tim
bers. Nothing rots timber like being
shut away from the air.
Now, by putting here and there in
the wall of our barns small frame of
plank, say, eight inches square and
building the stones or cement about it
we have furnished opportunity for the
air to get in and lengthen the life Of
our timbers. Over these squares we
may tack piece of wire cloth to keep
out cats and other small animals.
Especially is some such thing needed
If the building is one in which we
sometimes wash the wagons and car
riages with a hose or with pail OF
water and sponge. The water trick
ling down, added to the lack Of ven
tilation. will soon cause the best Of
timbers to decay. In such cases there
ought to be good drainage as well as
an opening for the air to get in about
the wood.
Some kinds of wood are more sus-
ceptibIe to decay than others. OF our
native woods red beech. chestnut or
oak is probably the best.

Mr.. Johnson's trip was productive Of
good results, for it is a matter Of fact
that the Republican congressional can
