THE LITTLE SCULPTOR.

Long ago there lived in Italy little
boy named Antonio Canova. His home
was with his grandfather, who was a
stonecutter by trade, but very poor
indeed
Antonio wasn't strong little boy.
He couldn't romp, and jump, and run
with the other boys in the village, but
he loved to go with his grandfather to
the stoneyard. While the old man was
busy cutting and shaping the great
blocks of stone, Antonio would play
among the chips. Sometimes he would
make little statue of soft clay, some
times he would take his grandfather's
hammer and chisel and try to cut a
statue from piece of rock. Then
when they went home in the evening
his grandmother would say:
What has our little Antonio been
doing today?"
HE has been trying to make figures
of stone. The boy will be a sculptor
if he grows to manhood"
Now there lived in the same town
as Antonio very rich man, a count
He often gave grand dinners for his
rich friends, and he would send for
Antonio's grandfather to go up to the
great house and help with the work
in the kitchen, for Antonio's grand
father was a fine cook as well as a
stonecutter.
One day it happened that Antonio
unnf with hSc nd o4h4~ 70 %hn
counts house. Antonio could not cook,
of course.
Everything went well until it came
time to set the table for dinner. There
suddenly came a crash from the great
banquet hall and a man rushed into
the kitchen, very pale and trembling
with fright, and holding some bits of
broken marble in his hand. He had
broken the wonderful marble statue
which was to have stood in the center
of the table!
What shall we do?" cried all the
servants.
Little Antonio left his pans and
kettles and went up to the frightened
man.
IF you had another statue for the
center of the table would it be all
right?" he asked.
Surely said the man, eff it were
of the same height and length"
'sWill you let me try to make one?"
asked Antonio.
The man laughed.
Stuff and nonsense!" he cried.
who are you that can carve statue
at a moments notice?"
81 am Antonio Canova," said the
lad
"The boy can but try" said the
servants, who knew Antonio
On the table in the kitchen was a
huge lump of golden butter. IL
weighed over 200 pounds and it had
just come in from the counts great
dairy in the mountains. Antonio took
one of the kitchen knives and began
to carve and shape this butter. In a
few minutes he had finished his statue,
and there, before the wondering eyes
OF the servants. crouched wonderful
lion-mane, great limbs and head COM
pIete.
How beautiful" they cried. And
the lion was carried in and put I'M the
center of the banquetfng table.
When the count and his friends

FERTILIZlNG THE LAWN.

Now is the time to fertilize the
lawn. The frost has left the ground
and the grass plants are starting into
growth. AS a permanent fertilizer
bone meal and wood ashes have no
equal; as lawn stimulator, nitrate
of soda reigns supreme. All old lawns
and newly planted swards not heavily
MANFRED when made should at this
season have top dressing of equal
parts by weight of sifted wood ashes
and finely ground bone meal. This
should be applied at the rate Of one
ton per acre of 100 pounds to every
1900 square feet This mixture has
lasting effect and not only furnishes
the grass plants with the bulk OF
needed fertility, but gradually adds to
the richness of the land when applied
annually.
In connection with this dressing all
swards should be broadcasted with
nitrate of soda. This is stimulating
fertilizer that produces immedite re-
suits, starting the plants into heavy
growth, and causing the foliage to be-
come very dark in color. 1t is well to
make two applications of the nitrate,
one after the grass plants become well
started and the second month or six
weeks later. It should be applied at
the rate of 200 pounds per acre at each
application or one pound to about
every 220 square feet. Both the bone
meal-woodash mixture and the nitrate
of soda should be applied just previous
to a rain, so that the material will be
washed Immediately into the soil.

MY SILENT NUN.

Each day, when the sun is setting
And frightening shadows fall,
There passes in front of my window
A woman, stately and tall,
With straight, black clinging garments
Hiding her maidenly grace,
And the square, white cap of the
sisters
Shading her peaceful face.
Her step would know mid a hundred,
The quiet, steady tread
OF one who has walked full often
Among the dying and dead.
And I've come to look and listen,
When the day is almost done
And the people are hurrying home
ward,
For the quiet step of my nun.
Little she thinks as she passes
That one whom she never knew
Receives of her ministrations
Each day far more than her due:
For / see in the faces of others
Only my joys or cares,
But around her passing presence
fingers halo of prayers.
What is the charm of her presence?
Why does she cheer me more
Than those who, gayer and brighter,
Pause to chat at my door?
All! Life for her has meaning,
And this is her secret sweet:
Losing her life for others,
She finds it again complete.
If only my coming and going,
To those whom I meet, might be
A ministry of comfort,
Like this silent sisters to me,
could see no higher honor
Than to know at life's setting sun
That others were blessed by my living
AS I by my silent nun!
