TRAGIC BRAVERY.

Sublime Act Of a Hero Who Wont to O
Watery Grave.
In the chapel at Glenalmond school
in Perthshire, Scotland, there is a
marble slab with this stirring story
recorded upon it:
There was n in the school a pupil
named Alexander Cumine Russell,
who became an officer in the Seventy
fourth h%ighlanders when only a lad Of
seventeen. In connection with the
memorable loss of the Birkenhead he
won immortal glory. The troopship
struck upon a rock; the soldiers were
formed in ranks upon the deck to die;
the women and children were being
saved in boats.
Russell was ordered into one of the
boats to command it, and a little way
of he watched with dimmed Eyes the
doomed ship. When she went down he
saw creatures Of the deep ~cOntending
for his beloved comrades. Then he
saw d sailors form rise up close to the
boat and a hand strive to grasp the
side.
A woman in the craft called out in
agony: Save him! Oh, ave him, sir!
He is my husband" but there was no
room for another, and the boat was Ia
boring heavily as it was. Russell look
ed at the woman and then at her chill
dren, then at those beseeching eyes in
the deep, and, rising in the stern, he
plunged into the water and helped the
sailor into what had been his own
place. Then amid a chorus Of "God
bless you" from every one in the boat
the brave young officer turned to meet
his death.-Pearson's Weekly.

SUMMER GRAZING.
P~asturing tho Alfalfa Crop conserves

Pasturins tho Alfalfa Crop conserves

Prepared by tho United States depart
ment of agricultural
With a limited amount Of moisture
in the soil the largest yield Of alfalfa
an often be obtained by letting the
plants grow In the spring and again in
the fall, pasturing the crop in the sum-
mer after the first crop has been har-
vested. This method controls the total
amount of water consumed by the al
falfa by reducing the leaf surface to a
minimum during the summer.
Whenever the moisture supply falls
short Of the amount necessary to pro-
duce normal crops throughout the sea-
son summer grazing appears to afford
q simple and practical means of obtain
ing a return from alfalfa cOmmensu-
rate with the available moisture and at
the same time reduces the danger Of
drought injury. When grazing is prac-
ticed greater production can he secured
by intermittent gra%zing-that is. by en-
ploying several fields which are pastur-
ed in rotation. Summer paSturage with
alfalfa Is extensively adopted III Aus
tralia, and the combined system of hay
and pasturage has found much favor
in New South Wales. 1t Is carried out
in the rolling plains country on loan
or sandy soils where there is no posi-
bility Of subirrigation.
In the management of Australian al
falfa fields 1t Is the practice to grow
a crop of hay early in the spring and
to pasture the alfalfa during the re-
mainder Of the year. For grazing pur-
able, because 1t responds to summer
rainfall while the native grasses. being
ANIMALS, afford no late pasturage. In
New South Wales alfalfa Is handled
under this combined system Of hay
and pasturaGe on some of the large
ranches, and as high as three sheep
per acre are carried during the sum-
mer, autumn and winter months. Dur
ing early September in Australia,
which is the early spring season there.
the sheep are taken off and the alfalfa
makes n uxuriant growth. affording q
cured hay crop Of approximately a ton
per acre. Thus the hay is procured
when the weather is cool and the
amount of moisture given up by the
plant and soil is small. The crop be-
ing handled in this way makes the
most efficient use OF the water supply.
Normal rainfall in this region is about
twenty-one inches and is rather uni
formly distributed, each month having
more than IN inch Of rainfall and only
two months, June and October. which
correspond to our December and April,
respectively, more than two inches.

SOME FAMOUS PAINTINGS.

A Tiny Work Of Art and Rosa's Trans
formed Harpsichord.
The smallest painting in the world of
distinctive merit was executed on the
smooth side Of a grain of corn by a
Flemish artist. On this limited surface
the artist painted in perfect detail a
mill, a miller with a sack Of grain on
his back, a horse and cart and a group
Of several peasants standing in a road.
The largest picture ever painted is
said to be a panorama Of the Mississippi
river, executed by John Barnard, an
artist who died in Watertown, S. D., in
1891. The gigantic canvas was twenty
two feet high and nearly two miles
long. 1t gave a detailed representation
Of 1900 miles Of the Father Of Waters.
The largest of the old masters can-
vases is Murillo's appearance Of the
Christ Child to st. Anthony of Padua."
The picture is ten feet wide and eight
cen feet high.
It is related that a friend called on
Salvador Rosa in Florence one day and

why he kept such a worthless instru-

"Why, it is not worth a scudo!" the
friend said.

it shall be worth a thousand before
you see it again."
A bet was made. Rosa Immediately
painted a landscape on the lid that not
only sold for 1000 scudi, but was &C.
counted a work Of great merit.

A Song of Progress

A Song of Progress A certain old tightwad in Flag Whose money was kept in bag, When requested to talk About sidewalk, At once began chewing the rag. "When I came here in "80," said he, No sidewalk at all did I see; And twas not the intent To build of cement, But of blanks from the A. L. & T." Soon the streets with their board walks looked funny When the pitch ran about much like honey; Then, unable to hike Without kicking a spike, We decided that all walks waste mo- ney. These new fangled ideas of paving About which some people are raving, May save temper and shoes, But they give me the blues, For it's my money that I would be saving. If you increase our taxes, you'll rue it As for sidewalks,-why not let George do it? Then he said with a thud, Whenever there's mud, Why, just let people wade through it.
 Chorus Of all the nice towns of the west, We aver we love Flagstaff the best; Let us make every street, Look shady and neat, Build sidewalks, and do all the rest.
