A crisis came at last. 1t was in
cross country horseback riding. Frank

skirts. She made Tom get out of bed
before daylight to ride with her, in
creasing the length of their canters
till on one occasion she kept the poor
beggar out without a morsel of food
from o'clock till noon. During this
time he was obliged to jump his horse,
she leading the way over fences,
| bitches and logs. He had been born
with no craven spirit and would have
gone to his death rather than give
in to her. This led her to push him
to see how far he would go, till one
day she went over log so large that
she barely missed it. Tom, who was
not so expert a horseman, raised his
beast too soon, and the animal, COM

log rolled over on his rider.

and it is said that he sometimes anus

cricket and evolving musical exercises
from its peculiarities. These little in

is taken to maintain their food supply,
which consists of lettuce leaves, with
those of the tomato, carrot and cuculn-
Der. Salt puts an end forever to the

One of the most curious things to be
seen in Japan. alike in the houses of
rich and poor. is Il small cage of bam-
boo fibers which houses the singing
cricket. The male only has the ''vOice,"
which can hardly be called Il singing
voice because the sounds emitted are
much more metallic than those which
ordinarily proceed from the throat of

sounds for the first time starts up I'M

In order TO execute his song the cricket
goes through q very amusing perform
ance. He raises himself on his front
feet, grasps with the others a kind of
platform arranged in the cage for his
convenience, expands his wing shells
and rubs them against each other with
great rapidity. The rhythm of the
movement varies with individuals. and

POOLING HAS ITS USES.
But Some of 1t Is Tresome and Of
fensive,

Some men have an Infinite capacity
TOR foollng. This old world may be
getting more serious every day, but
still the name of the trif1ers is legion.
Every second a fool is born, but the
'fooler,' If one may coin the express
sion, is too fatuOus to look upon him
self as fool. Indeed, the foolish Of
ten think themselves wiser in their
generation than the pursuers of wis
dom. They treat the most importarr
things in life as joke. Is a sacred
duty to be fulfilled? What does the
lover of fooling do? Why. laughs at
the very idea of duty, says the writer
in the Rochester Post Express.
Shakespeare understood the types of
characters which are addicted to fool
ing. Lucio in Measure For Measure"
is person OF this class He has a GER
tain amount of natural wit, but it is
wasted in turning everything into ridi-
cule Thus when one of his cOmpan-
ions prays for peace and another MUIR
murs amen he says, Thou concud-
COZ iiAC lAAC pirate Ildl
went to sea with the Ten Command
ments, but Scraped one off the table"
Here we have flashing witticism, but
its cynical sheer at prayer is in bad
taste. LuciO admits when hearing that
his friend Claudio was in prison that
after all this fooling' he would mot
have it So" In the end. having ''fool-
ed an innocent girl. he is punished by
being compelled to marry her-too light
a punishment for such a rascal.
The court jester was far from being
a fool. His lambent imagination had
often much of the brilliancy of the
poet The fool in Lear sees his I'M
happy masters ruin impending. 81 am
better than thou art" he SAYS. 81 am
q fool. Thou art nothing" Touch
stone has the art of wedding wit and
logic. as where he says to CORN, the
shepherd: "Why, if thou vast never at
court thou never sawst good manners:
then if thou never sawst good manners
then thy manners must be wicked. and
Wickedness is sin, and sin is damna-
Ilou. Hou art III pdflouS Slale, Snep-
herd"
But there is such a thing as solemn
fOOling, and we have an example of it
in the pOmpOusly stupid POlonius
whose ponderosity provokes Hamlet's
anger There are solemn visaged men
all around us who when they gaze at
us self complacently in the street tempt
us to exclaim, Don't take yourself so
seriously"
There are times when a little fooling
relieves the monotony or the overstrain
of existence. Thus fooling, after all,
has it's uses. But it should not be the
"all in all'' of life, for everything. even
fooling, should be in its right place.

BUILT OF PETRIFIED WOOD.
Material Used For Structural Purposes
First Thought to Be Rock.

Near Mumford, Monroe county, n.
Y" said a resident of that locality,
is stone quarry that perhaps has no
counterpart in the state or elsewhere.
of the village grows on a wide and
long level of blush gray muck, down
into which the prevailing lime rock
dips out of sight. The grove and the
muck land are on a thick deposit of
what appears to be white rock mot
tied or streaked with mixture Of
green.
when the idea was advanced that
this rock would make a novel building
stone and blocks of it were removed
from beneath the muck it was found
that it came to the surface soft and
with a tendency to crumble. After q
few hours in the sun and wind. how
ever, the rock became hardened to a
fiintlike consistency, solidity and
toughness not exceeded by the hardest
granite.
The discovery was then made that
there was not particle of basic rock
in the deposit at all. 1t was all made
up Of fossil vegetable fibers. petrified
cedar, leaves. branches. twigs. broken
bark and even whole stumps and knots
welded and knit together into one

"A church built of this fossil stone

APPLE TREE ADVICE.
If Your Orchard Is Old and UnfruitfuI

Try These Remedies.
The apple trees in many orchards
have become what some writer's term
unthrifty. hide bound, have stopped
bearing. branches will grow but very
little if at all from year to year, and
the trees will yield but small crops OF
inferior fruit.
During the summer months. when
the new wood is forming. it is an eX-
cellent plan to rub or peel the old bark
from the ground to the first limbs. and
a new, smooth and healthy bark will
appear. Many times this will have so
sautary an effect that the old tree will
go to bearing.
We have seen. says a correspondent
of Farm Progress. trees treated in this
manner with very satisfactory results,
especially when the trees are not too
old or were not injured by removing
the old bark.
a number of years ago we made a
night pasture for our COWS by inclos-
ing one of our orchards with a fence
and kept from thirty to forty cows in
this orchard nights and fed them soil
ing crops out of the stable. and they
kept the old bark we'll rubbed off from
the trees and left large amount of
fertility on the land. From this or
chard we have harvested some of the
best crops of apples that we ever
grew. and we believe that it has been
utilizing it for night pasture that
brought about the change.

cow is A GOOD MOTHER.
She Knows Best How to Take Care of
Her Calf In Its First Hours.

Her Calf In Its First Hours.
When the calf is dropped leave it
with the dam a few hours, to afford
her an opportunity to lick it, If the
cow gives milk containing only a me-
dunn amount of solids the calf may
be permitted to take what nOurishment
it wants the first time, but if the cow
gives very rich milk only Il little should
be allowed; otherwise there is danger
of having a bad case of Indigestion on
your hands the second day
Just at this time much attention
should be given the COW by way of
grooming with a currycomb, but
with brush. Frequent rubbing of
the udder will prove beneficial to the
cow and profitable to you. After the
calf has taken nourishment once it
should be removed. preferably when
the dam is not i'm the stall or pen, for
it is better that she should not assOci-
ate you with the loss of her calf, that
she may more readily transfer her af-
fection to you.
BY removing the calf at once it is
soon forgotten and thus disturbance is
minimiZed.-T. T.. Hacker. Dairy and
