Country Weekers.

Mayor Crump of Memphis, in re. cent address on behalf of children's country week associations, said:
 Astonishing is the ignorance of na. ture shown by these little. pale. lean slum dwellers. One child, whose knowledge of trees and grass and flowers was derived from the early closing city parks, said, as, she gazed with delight on green rural scene:
 "What time does the country shut up?"
 Another child watched a farm hand digging potatoes, and said:
 Is this where you keep your DO. tatoes. sir? ! should think 1t would be handler to keep them in bags in the cellar?'
 And I know of a third child to whom a farmer offered superb ripe peach.
 "'Let me pluck this peach for you right off the tree,' he said.
 "But the child, little girl. turned up her nose and answered loftily:
 "'No. thank you. I never eat them till they're canned"

SELECTS A UNIQUE MEMORIAL
Railroad Mans Grave Marked by Most Appropriate Gravestone-GranIte
 Tie From Maine Road.

h Woodbrook cemetery, Woburn Mass, may be seen marking the grave of an old railroad employee, unique and yet appropriate gravestone. It was selected by the man beneath 1t and was arranged for during his last years of life.
 The man was Waterman Brown. born at New Bridge, now North Wo. burn, February 21, 1918. He died No vember 5, 1900. On the stone Is the inscription: "He sleeps his last sleep; he has fought his last battle; no sound shall awake him to glory again
 The memorial is a block of split granite, one of the railroad ties used in building the Boston and Lowell rail road (now known as the southern di' vision of the Boston and Maine), prior to 1895. It was quarried at Tyngs' boro and boated down the Middlesez canal to some point in Woburn.
 This railroad, the first in the state to be chartered. and the first to con meet Boston with the north country, was built in a unique manner, stone being used for ties. instead of wood. These ties were laid on parallel walls of stone three feet high under each rail, needless expense, as time soon proved.
 The old granite ties were the same length as the later wooden ones. but much larger in depth and width. The rails were more literally a Trail than those of the present time, and were of the "fish-belly" type; two inches and a Quarter wide on the top. with sup porting fange beneath that "bellied" between each supporting "chair" in which 1t was seated.
 These later were of cast iron, and fastened by spikes driven into wooden plugs inserted in holes drilled in the s+one sleepers or ties. A fiat surface was dressed on the stone beneath the rails, and any inequality in setting was overcome by placing between the iron and stone square piece of oak wood. A track layers outfit included these, perforated for the spikes and of vary. ing thickness.
 One of these chairs" with a sec. tion of an original rail, is seen fast. ened on the stone as of old, save that bronze bolts instead of iron spikes now secure 1t.
 At the foot of the grave is a shorter stone or broken tie with another chair" and short bit of rail. placed on the top end. On the headstone a portion was smoothly dressed to re. ceive the inscription.

 The Oak Grove farm, one of the best In the county, was owned and run by the widow Baines. The farmers around couldn't criticise her farming but they shook their heads over the fact that she dressed up" every aft ernoon and had callers now and ther from the village, six miles away. She also had a top-buggy and silver plated knives and forks, and she had the best windmill for miles around.
 These things were only criticised but when it was known that the widow had sent her daughter east te seminary to be educated and pol lshed up there were men and womet that stood aghast. Miss Minnie conlt read, write and cipher. and what more education was needed? She ate witt her fork, and she knew how to behave at party, and what was the use oi any more polish?
 At eighteen Miss Minnie was bach home. She wasn't snobbish, but i! was plain that she preferred the vii lage people, and there was hardly g day that calls were not being eX. changed. It was this state of affairs that brought young Dick Redfern, the merchants son, out to the farm. The widows daughter looked good to him Folks said 1t ought to make a match and no one was surprised, after the lapse of few months, to hear of the engagement. D.
 He's just the best fellow in the world," was the girls assertion after telling her mother the secret.
 "I never could have found another such girl" was what young Redferr added as he told his father of the engagement.
 The engagement took place in .Au gust, and the wedding was set fol Thanksgiving day. There's a queer thing about these engagements. Al soon as they are made the man in the case wants to be boss. He ib al humble as pie up to that time, but at almost a days notice there is (

Making Cheese In oIden p.y,.

Cheese was made by the old-time farmers ia the summer on the CO operative plan by which four cattle owners. owning. say. fourteen milch cows, received all the milk night and morning, according to the daily yield of their little herd. Thus given two families having five COWS each, one with three and one with one, suppos- ing that the average yield per COW was the same. in two weeks, two own CTS would make five cheeses each; one would press three, and one only one cheese, but this one would be as rood ard as large as any of tte rest. -""oh'litv If thA 1ee-The To ~u- er," "N2ries Wins!ow Hall, in National Magazine

 A week after the engagement the widow took on new hired man. He was a student trying to work his way through college by hiring to farmers during the vacation. He wasn't any body to become infatuated with, but the girl treated him with more defer ence than she showed to the other hands, and she also spoke in his praise to Dick. That settled things. or, rather, unsettled them.
 How do you know that he isn't an escaped convict?" demanded Dick. That's foolish"

 Of course there was more crispy conversation, and then MT. Dick Red fern laid down the law In italics. No more singing-no more praising-no mere flirting! ze
 'No man shall boss me until after marriage!" was the reply.

 And then-he didn't. He carried it in the breast pocket of his coat ard never thought of it again. Miss Min nie looked for Dick that evening, but she looked in vain. The same net day and eVening-the same for a week. Then she was both repentant and indignant. In her repentance che Weut and In her anger she erica u:
 "I was fool to give him chance to snub me! Dick Rtifern can just go to grass!" 1 And as the letter hadn't reached Dick he was heaving signs and calling himself an idiot at the same time. At the end of ten days both lovers heard some interesting news. Gossip had it that Dick was to marry Susy Tomp- kins and Miss Minnie had promised her hand to Milton Swift. There was nothing in 1t but gossip, but 1t made two people very uncomfortable. Both would deny the report about tber,- /, selves, but not about the other. With little more encouragement gossip went 30 far as to set the wedding days ! he hrido1 The old love was surely off in everybody's opinion.
