church soliciting aims from worshipers
or from passersby. l saw the signs O?
ignorance and general depravity. 1

en-. But the worst thing that / saw
in Mexico was little slx-year-old boy,
badly crippled. who was compelled to
walk on his hands as we'll as his feet,
because his legs weren't strong enough
to support even his frail little body.
He looked like toad. but his face was
gentle and sad. He had big black eyes
that seemed to search ones soul. Oc-
casionally he would stop as he crawled
along the street, and look at his torn
fingers and hands-the streets were
made of gritty little stones that cut
his flesh. If only somebody had pro
vided him with gloves! But this was
Mexico. Nobody seemed concerned
about this little fellow He wasn't a
beggar. He made no appeal for money.
He was just little boy who needed
friendship. But "of such is the king

PERHAPS THAT CARRIAGE WAS
Recruit May Not Have Been Alto
eether in the Wrong as to the
Upper Furnishings.

The German recruit was being
drilled In military manners-a most
important branch Of the art of war Rs
practised In the Fatherland. For one
thing he had to be taught how to be-
have on the street-whom to salute,
and when, and all that sort Of thing.
The method of instruction was to
have the novice walk up and down the
court yard of the barracks, while from
this corner and that non-commissioned
officers kept popping out suddenly and
saying Il am a Royal Highness," or
Il am the Military Governor" or II
am the Master of the Royal Dachs-
hunds," or the like exalted titles.
Thereupon the appropriate salute had
to be given.
Everything had been going on very
we'll until mischievous corporal sud
denly planted himself before the re-
cruit and said, Il am Royal Car
riage." The recruit marched straight
on without taking any notice.
why didn't you salute?" yelled the
sergeant in charge.
I beg your pardon" stammered the
recruit, but l was under the impress
sion that the carriage was empty"

NATURE LAVISH IN HER GIFTS
Scientific Experiments Have Shown
How Prolific In Plant Life Six
Ounces of Mud Can Be.

Gardeners and other botanical ex-
perts may like to know of the two fol-
lowing experiments which illustrate
very graphically the lavish way that
nature goes about her work.
One year, In the month of February
Darwin removed from three different
parts of a small pond three table
epoonfuls of mud, weighing in all six
and three-quarters ounces.
This he placed In a breakfast cup
and kept 1t, covered up in his study
for six months. By the end of that
time he had removed In all 637 plants.
Another interesting experiment was
carried out by Scotch gentleman g
few years ago. In a patch Of soil,
taken from hedge roof of about 20
inches long by IL inches wide and %
deep, he planted dozen acorns and
took note of the number of plants
which grew from seed naturally con-
tanned in the soil.
At the end of the year he had taken
out, as they came up, 155 plants! The
following year Sc more plants were
removed, and in the two succeeding
years 211!

Blind Watchmakers.

Blind people-those who have been
born blind-are, as is well known, ex-
ceedingly clever with their fingers, but
it is not often that we hear of a watch
maker who was born blind. And yet
there have been instances Of the kind.
A famous blind matchmaker lived
at Holbeach, in Lincolnshire, England.
His name was Rippin, and, although
completely blind, he could take to
pieces and put together again watches
Of most delicate construction with the
greatest ease, and in quicker time
than most watchmakers who have the
advantage of good eyesight. On one
occasion some of the tiny wheels and
screws used in his trade were stolen
from him, but the thief was captured
with the property on his person, and
Rippin identified them by his delicate
sense of touch.
A Barnstaple watch and clockmaker
brought up his blind son to his trade,
and the young man proved so skillful
that on more than one occasion he de-
tected faults in timepieces which 9TH
er tradesmen had failed to discover.

Maryland Agricultural College.

The second brood of the eodline
moth appears about july 1st Unless
the first spraying, when the bloom fell
was exceedingly thorough. a spraying
with arsenate of lead should be applied
at this time
More important though than thu
arsenate OF lead treatment for the
Cooling Moth is the application ct
Bordeaux mixture to prevent Bitter
Rot and other diseases developing
when the fruit is maturing.
The combination spray recommended
for this time Is:
Bordeaux Mixture and Arsenate Of
Lead:
Copper Sulphate, lbs.
Lime (Burned), lbs.
Water, so gals.
Arsenate of lead, lbs.
The spray solution is cheap, and II

ScANLON SANG FOR PARTY
And Even After That, He Used to
Claim, Cinnamon Attended Theater
to Hear Him Again.

When w. J. Scanlon was in the show
business, he invaded Washington on
one occasion with brand new comic
opera. In order to give the piece a
fine send-off, he formulated the plan
of sending free tickets for boxes to
the president, the cabinet members
and other men high in social life.
THAT won't do" one of his news
paper friends told him. "Too COM
mon. Do something picturesque. Why
don't you go after MIR. WI, the Chinese
minister? If you get him, he will
bring down a lot of other diplomatic
people"
Scanlon fell for the proposition, and
called at the Chinese legation.
What sort of show is this?" asked
WI.
It's comic opera" replied Sean
Ion.
ANY good jokes in it?"
Scanlon said it was full Of good
jokes.
Tell me some of them" command.
ed WI
Scanlon did so, and WI got such a
series OF laughs out Of them that he
sent for his whole establishment, num-
bering 80 people, and made the en-
barrassed Scanlon tell them all over
again.
Now" continued WI, are there
any good songs in this show?"
-The show had so many good
songs" declared Scanlon, that we had
to throw some of them away"
"All right" said WI. "Sing me some
of the best"
II sang them" said Scanlon, telling
the story afterward. But that wasn't
so remarkable. l had to sing 'em.
There were 80 Cinnamon to make me

thing was that all 80 Of them came to

ALL IN THE SPIRIT EvINCED
profession" or "Trade'' Have Little.
Distinction Without Certain I'M
portant Differences.

Il Is contrary to human instinct to
be idle. Some naturally prefer the
good and live to be useful. others.
evilly inclined, If useful at all, are so
by compulsion-in order to live. Be-
tween these extremes are the careless
or discouraged, who work only to get
the means OF living.
We would not be misunderstood as
meaning that, to be a professional
man, one must work for nothing, de-
clares a writer In Power. Neverthe-
less. the truly professional man who
deserves the dignity of that classified
ton makes his chief concern the good
he can do. He is more anxious to be
useful than rich.
Common acceptance of the term
makes all clergymen. doctors and law
yers professional, but, more is the
pity, some in their ranks forget that
the mission of service is fundamental,
the acquisition OF wealth incidental.
Just as there are these exceptions
among those supposed to be of these
professional classes, there are many in
the humber walks considered to be-
long to the trades, who care more to
excel in their lines than for anything
else. They have pride in their work
and will do as conscientiously whether
their wages are high or low.
We submit that the real distinc-
ton between profession and a trade
is the spirit in which 1t is usually fol-
lowed. Viewed in this light, your vo-
cation is the one or the other accord
Ing to whether you engage in it for
what you put in 1t, or what you get OF
Of 1t. In other words, whether you
work for the love Of it, or for the
money 1t brings.

TOUCHING Apneal.


A literary critic called one day to
see a friend who was trying hard to
establish a reputation as a novelist
Read thati" said the novelist,
thrusting manuscript into his guests
hand. IT'S my latest short story. and
l want you to tell me what you think
of it"
A few. minutes later he was sur
prised to see his visitor, wiping tears
from his eyes. my dear chap, this is
really the most pathetic thing you've
ever done!" said the critic.

Read to rypesetters.

Reading aloud was once an occupa-
ton in London-and among the most
unlikely persons you can imagine
compositors, says the London Chron-
icle. There may possibly be mem
bers of this chapel" who can recol-
lect the time when one of their num-
Der was told off to read the newspar
per or the latest book while their busy
fingers set up the type. This is prob
ably the best instance of the ability
to do two things at once. for the read
ing Of manuscript and composing and
listening to and comprehending spo-
ken words are both of them intellec-
tual tasks, while cigarmaking, such as
in Cuba, is purely mechanical, leaving
the mind completely free to follow the
reader.

Concrete SiIO is
Cheapest in End
Far More Lasting Than Wood and
Costs No More To Build.
G. E. WOLCOTT.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station

The kind of silo that a farmer
should build will, to some extent be
controlled by circumstances. In a
few cases it would seem exped1ent to
construct the cheapest silo that will
keep silage. This applies in the case
Of a renter or where the cost of
materials for a permanent silo make
1t prohibitive.
Ordinarily the concrete silo can be
constructed as cheaply as the wooden
silo. 1t will keep silage as well and
it is permanent. Where a gravel pit
is near at hand so that gravel can be
had for the hauling the concrete silo
can be constructed at comparatively
small cost, the cement and material
