| was a boy back in Scotland,
where gardening was considered
very important on the farm.
Men made n business Of going
from farm to farm TO 'delve' (dig
or spade over) the farmers gar
den. Father would have us (4)
boys viewing the man with the
short handle spade, pushing in
the manure ahead and turning
each spadefuls as level and even
as a plow. Then we would be
taken to a corner and by actual
experience make gardens of our
own. This old man that came
year after year to our farm to
lay out and make garden was in
structed to show us boys how to
use the rake in covering; in short,
how to make garden from start
to finish. Father trained us for
farmers; how to seed with the
two hands, how to NOW, to hoe
potatoes, to single turnips, etc.
He just devoted all his time to
our farming education when we
were not in school. This early
training was worth a great deal
to me when | came to this coun-
try. Then mother trained the
girls in dairying and everything
pertaining to woman's work on
the farm. Father and mother
looked at this matter as a duty
toward their children, and we
enjoyed the work. Now, unless
parents give their children in

The Mail Situation

The Times-Herald is informed
that Mr.. Woldenberg may quit
the mail service between here
and Canyon to day. He 'phoned
TO l.. M. Brown Wednesday and
asked to lease twelve head of
horses to use during the bad sea-
son on the roads (it being nee
essary to put on four horses dur
ing the period when the roads
are muddy and upon Mr.. Brown
stating they did not want TO lease
any horses out Mr.. Woldenberg
informed him he would have to
suspend operations as his tempo
rary arrangements to carry the
mail would not justify his pur-
chasing more horses for the limit
ed time he would have the con-
tract.
The government has asked for
bids over the lines abandoned by
Kellogg for a contract from April
l to June so, 1914 and the inter-
val until that date is so short that
no one would be justified in buy
ing the necessary equipment.
1t leaves our mail service an un-

A LITTLE DUTCH DOG.
IThe Animals Friend, London. !

He lived away back in the sixteenth
century, and the old chroniclers tell US
he was a spaniel, and not over large in
size. His name we do not know, but his
bravery, love and devotion are unques
toned.
His memory is still cherished after
these four centuries, and his deeds have
been immortalized in bronze and stone,
and in the portrait painters art.
He belonged to William he Silent of
Orange, and was his constant companion
and loyal friend. In the camp at Malines,
in the dead of night, his loud barking
saved his masters life from the attack
of some Spanish assassins.
The intelligent, devoted little dog must
have been a great comfort to this grave
and thoughtful man in the sad and anXi-
GUS hours which he spent trying to find
the best solution to the harassing prob
lens constantly besetting the Neither
lands.
There is fine statue at The Hague, on
the Het Plein, of William the Silent, by
Roger, 184S, with the noble dog by his
side, looking up into his face with brave,
adoring eyes.
Tuesday, July 10, 1854, was the saddest
day of ali his short life for this valiant,
little Dutch dog. For on that date his
beloved master, William the Silent, was
struck down by the cowardy bullet of a
fanatic, one Balthazar Gerard, who had
lorg and ingeniously plotted his death.
This great patriot and leader, Prince
William l. of Orange-Nassau, the An
cestor, as he is proudly named in history,
was beloved by all. AS Motley so beau
tifully says: GAS long as he lived he was
the guiding star of whole brave nation,
and when he died the little children cried
in the Streets"
No wonder, then, that the faithful lit
tie animal, who had been the comrade of
such man, refused his food, and pined
away sorrowing until he died. 1t is a
beautiful example of unselfish love and
allegiance.
In the splendid black and white marble
tomb of William the Silent, in the Nieu-
we Kerk, at Delft. the faithful dog lies
for ever on guard, at the feet of the re-
cnmbent figure of the Prince he loved so
well.
A gracious tribute to the memory of
this dear little Dutch dog is given in that
charming book, IA Wanderer in Hol-
land" by E. v. Lucas.

now beginning to be allowed to grow up.
with freedom to indulge his own natural

like this the child can be trusted with a
candy-box on the table all day long and

USE OF PAPYRUS.

The Papyrus plant, which once flour
ished in large quantities in Egypt, but is
now is almost extinct there, still abounds
in the jordan Valley, as we'll as in the
neighborhood of Jaffa and Sidon. 1t
grows best in a marshy soil, easily at
tanning a height OF eight to ten feet.
The stems of the plant, which are hollow,
like bamboo, are leafess, and as thick as
a man S arm at the lower part, tapering
away to point. This wood, says a
writer in the February Wide World Mag
azne, is used today in the East for a
variety of purposes, both ornamental and
ard useful. At Jaffa it is converted into
sandals, boxes, various articles of furni-
ture, and even into boats. In ancient
times, particularly when the Pharaohs
reigned in Egypt, the papyrus was cult
waited and converted into paper, and
many muse ums can boast Of specimens
of these ancient papyri manuscripts.

JAPENEsE CoALING DONE BY GIRLS.

Coaling at Nagasaki. Japan, is an in
teresting sight, being done entirely by
girls, says writer in the February Wide
World Magazine. Big coal barges bear
down upon the ship as it approaches the
shore, and as soon as it comes to anchor
a rough ladder is placed between the
liner and the foremost barge. On each
rung of it girl quickly takes her place.
Men in the barge quickly shovel the coal
INTO shallow baskets holding half a bushel
each, to the sound of a monotonous chant,
and these baskets then pass from hand
to hand up the living ladder with marvel
lous CELEBRITY. Each girl seizes one and
swings it straight up in front of her,
above her head, when it is caught by the
next girl. Down a second ladder, like
wise packed with girls, the empty bask-
cts pass in similar manner back into the
barge TO be reflled. Barge after barge
is emptied In this way. The monotonous
chanting never ceases; the living eleva-
tor goes on hour after hour with its
never-ending stream of baskets, until
the last bunker is full. when the ladders
disappear as if by magic and the ship is
ready to proceed on her voyage. A Pa
cifc mail steamer will bunker" two
thousand three hundred tons of coal in
six and half hours, an average of three
hundred and iftythree and three-quar-
tiers tons per hour, or nearly six tons per
minute-an almost incredible record.
