requisite labor IL not grudged.
The farmer makes the very soil. He
builds terraces along steep inclines.
lines them with blocks Of stone and
then packs the earth on them. Thus
he transforms the mountain and the
rock into little patch. where he
plants vine or raises oats or corn.

In order that the dawn may and him

makes from 3 to 8 francs a day. his

An Architectural Curiosity.

There are many churches throughout.
England which are without tower Of
spire, but there are few church hes
which can boast OF having a tower
and spire side by side. One of these
In the parish church Of Ormskirk, In
Lancashire. The tower Is built over
the porch at the west end, and the
splre Is placed AS closely as possible
to 1t. The origin Of this architectural
freak has not been ascertained, but
there Is a tradition to the effect that
when Orme, the Saxon pirate from
whom the town derives Its name, de-
cided to construct kirk. or church,
as an expiatory Offering for his evil
deeds his two daughters quarreled over
the design for the structure. One de-
termlned to have tower; the other
was equally resolved to have a steeple.
As neither Of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes. and the curious may see the
tower aud spire still keeping watch
side by side ON the surrounding cOu,l'
try.
