When Lost In the Woods. :

1t is well known fact that we
walk naturally in a curve. If you
are in the woods with nothing to
guide you, you will walk in circle
and not find your way out. If you
are on the plains and have neither
sun nor stars nor compass for
guides you will do the same thing
walk in circle and arrive nowhere.
In the woods, however, a clever de-
vice to be resorted to is this: Select
three trees in straight line and
walk toward them. When you reach
the first one there are still two
ahead which keeps the line straight
for you. Select a third tree in line
with the other two and walk to-
ward them. Always keep the line
of three trees ahead and you will
never walk in a circle. = Chicago
Tribune.

Maddeninq.

A gentleman was attending lee
ture one evening when he saw, two
seats ahead of him, a man whom he
took to be an acquaintance. Hav-
ing no other way to attract his at
tention, he asked a stranger sitting
next to him to poke the supposed
acquaintance with his umbrella. AS
the disturbed man turned his head
the gentleman discovered that he
was not the person he had suppos-
ed, so he fastened his gaze atten-
lively on the lecturer, leaving the
man with the umbrella to settle
with the man he had disturbed, an
embarrassing and difficult task. At
last the man with the umbrella
turned rather Indignantly to the
gentleman.
didn't you ask me to poke that
gentleman with my umbrella"
"Yes."
"And why did You ask me?"
81 wanted to see whether you
would do it," was the reply.

Don't slight the pasture-land.
1t is a vital part of your farm.
Feed it; cultivate it.
Don't fail to go over the pasture
land every summer and cut out
those weeds. They sap the soil of
elements that should be producing
pasturage, shade the surrounding
grass, and vet furnish not one bit
of grazing.
Don't turn stock into the pas
ture at the rate of one head to two
acres, when there should be not
over one head to each three acres.
Over-pasturing ruins the grass,
while. the animals will fall off in
flesh and dairy products.
Don't allow the bitches Ito cut
up your pasture, depriving you of
so much valuable grazing, and
washing away your best soil.
Drive stakes in the shallow bitches;
posts in the deeper ones, and dump
into them above these supports
the refuse of the whole farm-old
hay, straw, cornstalks, worthless
chunks of wood, stones, weeds and
small brush. In a surprisingly
short time the sediment brought
down and lodged against them,
together with this filling, will
level up these washes, when, some
manure should be spread over
them and sprinkled with grass-seed
to form a permanent sod for pas
ture. Green willow posts for
these supports, are driven at in
tervals along the bitches, will
quickly take root, forming a per-
petual barrier, providing a future
wood supply and shade for the
stock.
Don't fail to fertilize the pasture
land occasionally. 1t is unreason-
able for you to think that it will
produce profitable pasture from
year to year without anything to
rejuvinate it. You don't expect
that of your grain fields, and you
ought not to expect it of your
pasture lands.

Benefit of Peeraae.

Every one may not know what
the term "beneft of peerage" i'm
plies. A peer can demand a private
audience of the sovereign to repre-
sent his views on matters of public
welfare. For treason or felony he
can demand to be tried by his peers.
He cannot be outlawed in any civil
action, nor can he be arrested I'M
less for an indictable offense, and he
is exempt from serving on juries.
He may sit with his hat on in courts
of justice, and should he be liable
to the last penalty of the law he
can demand a silken cord instead of
a hempen rope.

Work..

"What shall l do?" asked a wo-
man who felt her grief was greater
than she could bear. How many
hundreds of others, borne down by
the tides of disappointment, grief
and sorrow, are asking the same
question.
Once we heard an old lady say,
Work is the great sorrow killer"
and she knew, for all the waves and
pillows of human sorrow had gone
over her, yet she had risen above
them through work. When the
clouds seem heaviest, the sun gone,
an insurmountable wall before you,
go to work, work hard for yourself,
or better still, for some one else.
Work is the common heritage of all,
a panacea for almost every mental
i'll or heart orrow.-Exchange.

Children In Pliny's Day.

1t was not a modern American
writer who, discussing the children,
wrote of them thus: "How many
are there who will give place to a
man out of respect to his age and
dignity? They are shrewd men al
ready and know everything. They
are in awe of nobody, but take
themselves for their own example"
These were the words of Pliny the
younger used in one of his famous
letters during the first Christian
century, but they will strongly ap-
ply to much of the young America
of today.

Customs Of Brittany.

Brittany alone, of all the prov
inces of France, seems to have pre-
served its types of individuality. To
be Breton is by no means to be
French. The old men to this day
chatter in the Celtic tongue. The
Breton mother when not at work in
the fields sits in the door Of her
cottage plying the distaff and recit-
ing the old legends and quaint folk
songs to the white coifed baby be-
side her. The Breton woman still
wears the costume of her mothers
before her and is satisfied in it.

STORY OF A NEWS SCOOP"
Trick Of . Correspondent That "Bssw
the English Government.

At the close of the Boer war Of
1902 the London Standard publish
ed the news of the signing of the
treaty of peace some time before
the government itself knew of it-a
circumstance that greatly puzzled
the officials. In Campaigns of a
War Correspondent" the author,
the late Melton Prior, tells how the
feat was accomplished.
The conference between the Eng
lish and the Boer leaders took place
in farmhouse at the base of Ma
juba hill. While it was going on a
small army of correspondents and
artists camped outside, anxiously
waiting for the news that the war
was over. They were lounging and
lying about on the grass with their
horses saddled and bridled. ready to
race to the telegraph office in camp.
Captain Chopper, General Sir
Evelyn Woods aid-de-camp, and i
were very good friends. and as he
occasionally came out of the house
to have chat, he kept me informed
how matters we're going inside.
Another great friend of mine
was Jack Cameron, correspondent
of the Standard. | was anxious to
do him a good turn, and it occurred
to me that now was my chance, so
/ said, Chopper, you might let me
know when they really are signing
or going to sign"
Then l said to Cameron, look
here, old chap, you get your horse
ready and send it round the corner
of that hill, but be careful that the
other fellows don't suspect any
thing, for as soon as General Wood
and Kruger begin to sign the terms
of peace Chopper is coming out to
tell me, and when you see me raise
my helmet, that is the signal for
you to gallop into camp and send
the news of"
Shortly afterward Cropper came
out and carelessly whispered to me,
'1t's all over, Prior; they have sign
ed" 1 simply had to give the pre-
arranged signal to Cameron, and he
was off like a shot at a full gallop
for the telegraph Office.
1t must have been twenty min
utes or half an hour later that the
general came out on the vcranda,
and calling the members of the
press round him, said, Gentlemen,
l have pleasure in announcing to
you that President Kruger and the
other delegates representing the
Boer nation and myself have signed
the terms of peace, but l warn you
that the wire to England is closed
to all communication until my dis
patch has gone"
| could not help smiling to my
self, for ! knew well enough that
Cameron's news was already on the
way to England.

OUR THIRSTY WORLD.
n Hay In Time ouip Down Every Drop
Of Water We Possess.


Scientists have long declared that
the earth will dry up and become as
barren and dismal as the moon. But
there is no occasion to worry about
Sthis, since it will not occur for more
millions of years probably than we
can count.
In regard to the present dried up
condition of the moon, it used to
be believed that the moon at one
time had a plentiful supply of wa
ter, but that the great heat develop
ed on either side as the moon was
turned to the sun on alternate sides
fourteen days at stretch gradually
evaporated the water. This vapor
of evaporation did not fall back to
the moons surface, it was claimed,
because the moons gravity was not
sufficient to hold it, and so the
vapor constantly thrown off by
centrifugal motion gradually left
the moon barren and dry.
But the new theory now held by
great scientists is also held to be APP
plicable to the earth, and that what
really happened to the moon will
happen to this planet in the course
of time-an almost unthinkable
amount of time.
This theory is that crystal of
any sort, a lump of rock salt or
quartz or limestone contains a great
proportion of water. If these things
are heated in a retort the water is
recovered and the crystal becomes
a powder. Now, if this powder is
placed near water it will absorb
while cooling quite lot of it.
The interior of the moon being at
one time extremely hot, so hot that
it was a molten mass, a cooling
process was started then, and in
cooling the natural demand was for
water in order for them to form
their crystals. The water seeped
down through the crust of the moon,
and finally it was in that manner all
used up.
This is the manner in which this
theory is applied to the earth. Our
great oceans bring powerful pres
sure to bear upon the earth's crust,
and because of subterranean vol
canoes in various parts of the Pa
cific ocean we know water is gradu-
ally seeping into the heated interior
of the earth.
The earth continues to lose its
heat by radiation, and this brings
about a shrinkage and cracking of
the old crust, as demonstrated now
and then by great earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions. This in turn
makes a communication between
the water of the earth's crust and
the cooling mass inside, these things
being affinities. And so it is claim
ed all the earth's water must gradu-
ally seep into the interior and 60
into the formation of crystals. Even
then it is claimed there will not be
sufficient water to cool and crystal
lie all the molten mass inside

The Feminine Diq.

'When women set out to say
mean things about each other they
usually succeed" said well known
New York state senator the other
day: 'My wife had several guests
recently and / overheard bit of
conversation that thought was a
prize" Then he told this story:
"a certain Mrs. Blank was under
discussion. 4 see that she employs
colored help now remarked one of
the ladies.
"'Yes, said another, she became
tired of having people ask her if her
maids were relatives of the fam
ily.' "-Detroit- Free Press.

Whipped For Not Smoking.

Thomas Hearne records that at
the time of the plague of London in
1865 children were obliged to
smoak. | heard Tom Rogers, who
was a yeoman beadle, say that when
he was that year that the plague
ragged a schoolboy at Eton, all the
boys were obliged TO smoak in the
school every morning and that he
was never whipped SO much in his
life as he was one morning for not
neutrality-suspicious. Chronicle.

How gardeners manage to grow
miniature pines, frs and oaks in
flower pots for half a century has
always been more or less of a Sc
cret. 1t is the result chiefly of skill
full, long continued root pruning.
They aim first and last at the
seat OF vigorous growth, endeavor-
ing to weaken it just as far as pos
sible without destroying the life of
the tree.
They begin with the young plant,
say a seeding of a cedar or hem
lock, when only two or three inches
high and cut of its tap roots as
soon as it has other rootlets enough
to live uponl md replant it in
shallow earthefn pot or pan.
The end Of the tap root is gen.
orally made to rest on the bottom
of the pan OF on a fat stone within
it. Aliuvial clay is then put into
the pot, much Of it in bits the size
of beans and just enough in kind
and quantity to furnish scanty
nourishment to the plant.
Just enough of water, light and
heat is given to keep it alive, but
not enough to excite a vigorous
habit.
Thus by using very shallow pots
the development of the tap roots is
impossible, and by using poor soil
and little of it and little water
rapid growth is prevented.
Then, too, the top and side roots,
which are within easy reach of the
gardener, are shortened by means
of pruning knife or are scared
with hot iron. In this manner the
little tree is headed off on every
side and is allowed to grow just
enough to live and look healthy.
Accordingly, each new set of
leaves becomes more and more
stunted, the buds and rootlets are
diminished in proportion, and at
length balance is diminished be-
tween every part of the tree, max
ing it a dwarf in all respects.-Sci-
entific American.

What Was on His Mind.

science and confide it to his pastoral
ear, so that he might die in peace.
