LIVE BOY IN THE COFFIN

While members of the family and
relatives were grouped about the open
coffin of Mrs. j. R. Burney's three.
year-old son at Butte, CAL, listening to
the funeral service, the body moved
and presently the child sat up and
gazed about the room. His eyes
caught those of his grandmother, Mrs.
l.. P. Smith. eighty-one years old. The
aged woman stared at the child as II
hypnotized. Then she sank into a
chair, dead.
AS she fell the child dropped back
into it's coffin, from which it was quick.

said there was no hope for the boy.
and death came few hours later.
The following day there were two
collins in the Burney home. Double
services were held and the child and
its grandmother were buried side BY
side.

Ing. was exactly ten minutes. Taking
the average razor stroke as being,
say, one inch in length. the distance
travelled by the blade in removing SUI
perfluous hair from the writer's face
was six yards. one foot and eight
inches.
The BARRIERS shop hours are from
eight a. m. to seven p. NIL hours.
Deduct one and half hours for
meals, and it leaves nine and half
hours. Assume half OF this time to
be taken up with hair-cutting, sham
pooling, waiting for customers, ETC.,
and it leaves four and three-quarter
hours for shaving. AS not every GUS
toner Is cleanshaven. we must also
make an allowance on the number
of strokes and on the time occupied.
Suppose we take the average number
OF strokes at $50. and the average
time for each shave as eight minutes.
This would give time for the scraping
OF about thirty-six customers. and the
distance Travelled by the razor would
be 5.400 inches, or 150 yards.

Further investigation revealed the
fact that when the writer SLAVES him
self something like 500 strokes are
required TO produce a result equal to
that obtained by the barber with his

HANDLING OF ORCHARD SOILS
Combination OF Clean Cultivation With
Cover Crops lie Best Scheme.
Says Ohio Expert.

fBy PROF. WENDELL. PADDOCK. Ohio
College OF Agriculture)
Probably the best scheme ever de
vised for handling the majority of or.
chard soils. where the lay Of the land
win permit. is q combination OF clean
cultivation with cover crops. This
method includes the blowing of the
land as early in the season as the
weather will permit. The plow is fol-
lowed, at intervals. by the harrow. in
order that the surface OF the soil may
be kept mellow throughout the grow.
ing season. Usually in the latter part
of July or the first Of August. at the
close OF the growing season for trees,
a crop OF some kind is planted and
this is allowed to occupy the land
until the next spring. The land Is
plowed again as early as possible and
chis is followed by clean cultivation
and cover crop as before.

he wanted to omit saying his prayers.

thank God for all His goodness to
you. Just think what nice time
you've had all day playing, and re-
member all the other little boys who

drowsily, and out of his relaxed
mouth came this protest:
