THE GEORGES OF ENGLAND.
Brief Sketches of Four Predecessors
of the Present kino.

According to the New York World
the name of George for their mon
arch has never been a happy one fol
the people Of England. The World
gives the following brief sketches OF
the four Georges who have ruled Eng
land in the past:
George I.-Reigned for thirteen
years. He was the first monarch OF
the house of Hanover. He was 81
years Of age when he ascended the
English throne, and he never could
learn to speak more than enough Eng
lish to say that ne preferred Hanover
to his new country.
George H.-Son Of George l., reigned
for thirty-three years. He owed more
to the sense Of his wife, Charlotte Car
olne, than to his own, quarreled with
Walpole, and found a ready tool In
Carteret in his efforts to make him
self absolute as Henry VIII had been
He was the last English king to ap-
pear on the field of battle. England
was in the turmoil Of war a great part
of his reign, but the wisdom Of Pitt
and the skill of her soldiers saved
her colonial supremacy, and the hero
ism Of Give saved her in India.
George III-Son of George H., reign
ed sixty years. His unpopularity was
so great that his statue in London haG

should smash 1t. To him, however

came unmistakable, for wherever ht
went attendants had to follow him tC
rub off the walls the indecencies he
chalked there. Four times he was par.
TALLY cured and then became perma-
nently mad.
George IV.-Son of George I'LL, was
regent during his fathers period Of
recognized madness, and reigned in hi!
own name for ten years. He, too. wa:
unpopular. After marrying Mrs
Fitzherbert in secret, he married Car
oline Of Brunswick, and then tried tc
divorce her. His brutal treatment o.

English people to the highest pitch

country on the verge Of civil war wher

CHAPTER XIII.

1t was a part of my duties, when In

that he was a pro-slavery champion.

1.-The senate will not ratify," said he.
Il am perfectly well advised Of how
the vote will be when this treaty comes
before it for ratification. We will be
beaten, two to one!"
"Then, does that not end it?"
END it? No! There are always
other ways. If the people Of this coun-
try wish Texas to belong to our flag
she will so belong. 1t Is as good a.

There can be no consequences, for
England has no excuse left for war
over Texas. / only wish the situation
were as clear for Oregon. And now

vention, at Baltimore"
What will it do?" l hesitated.
God knows. For me, l have no
party. I am alone! l have but few
friends in all the world"-he smiled
now-"you, my boy, as said, and Doc

grimly, shaking his head. Rustic of

PALACE OF EGYPTIAN KING.
House of the Pharaoh Hophra, Con
temporary of jeremiah.

temporary of Jeremiah.
The great result Of the work OF this
year carried on at Memphis by Prof.
Flinders Petrie under the auspices Of
the British school of Archaeology has
been the discovery Of the palace or
King Apries, the Pharaoh Hophra or
the Bible, who was contemporary with
jeremiah, B. c., 629-5SS.
Hitherto no place has been known
in Egypt other than the tower at Me-
dinet Habu and some portions or
rather earlier date. The palace was
400 feet long and 200 feet broad, with
a middle court 100 feet square. 1t
was adorned with painted columns
forty feet high and surrounded with
stone-lined walls fifteen feet thick.
The approach to the palace led up
through a large mass Of buildings to
a platform at a height Of about sixty
feet above the plain.
In the ruins scale armor. hitherto
rarely found in Egypt, was discover
ed. Good bronze figures Of the gods
we're also found What Prof. Petrie
describes rs supreme piece was the
fitting Of a palanquin Of solid silver,
a pound in weight, decorated with
bust of Hathor, with a gold face OF
finest workmanship Of the time OF
Apries.
The great gateway and immense
walls descend deep into the mound.
indicating that there lie ruins of sue
cessive palaces built one over the 9TH

the yisitati0ns of insect pests or plant

vail when the farmer has to sell and
other unforeseen circumstances may
interfere to make all farm plans al
most worthless from practical stand
point
This is often quite true with refer
ence to plans made for particular
year. But when the plans are based
ON average conditions for u long Sc
rieS of years then the objections do
not hold. for, while we cannot tell
what may happen during any partlcu-
lar season. we can fOretell with con
siderable accuracy what the average
conditions will be over a series. say,
of ten years The whole business OF
insurance is based on the reliability Of
averages 1t cannot be foretOld just
who out of a thousand persons will
die next year. but it can be stated
with much certainty about how many
persons out of the thousand will die.
Plans for the farm likewise must rep
resent and be based on average condi-
lions and not on single years. The
farm plan must be made for a period
of years and not for single year.
In replanning farm 1t is essential
that a few fundamental points In
farming be kept constantly in mind:
First.-The plan should provide a
reasonable reward for the labor an0
capital invested .
Second-The fertility of the farm
should be maintained or increased.
Third. The plan must be suited to
the capabilities of the owner for car
rying it out.
It is assumed that in order to replan
farm for profit it Is necessary to
consider the capabilities Of the farmer
to put the new plan into effect. This
In general will render 1t necessary to
recombine the phases Of farming with
which he is already familiar or to
bring in new features which are not
very dissimilar to the ones he is al
ready accustomed to.

seed should be deep, but it must also
be of medium width and thickness, for
upon this depend the size Of the germ
and the amount of food stored In the
seed for the early maintenance Of the

width and thickness have small germs

Badly matured seeds sometimes pre-

Failure Of the grain to separate readi-

tionable, as is also the presence o.
mold or rotten seeds.

should have it in winter as well as In
summer. They need more of it proba-

quires more OF less of it all the time.
