John Brashear says:
eff you could ride from the earth
to Alpha Centauri, on a train going at
the rate of mile a minute, you would
reach your destination in fOrtyeight
million years. At the rate sound
travels, if a song were to be sung on
Alpha Centauri it would be three mil
lion eight hundred thousand years be
fore we could hear it. This neighbor
of ours is thirtyfve trillion miles

A Spring Dream.

When the first pillow strikes the furrow
As the day creeps down the hill;
When the rabbit leaves the hurrow,
And the night owls cry is still;
When the pear-tree's bloom is falling
And the bees buzz from the hive,
When the voice of spring is calling
Then it's good to be alive
lis the hopeful time Of farming
With the season well begun
Soon the planted fields lie warming
In the promise of the sun;
Then the tender corn comes peeping
Where YOU ran the long, straight rows
To the slope where, from its sleeping
Weakened the alfalfa grows.
Next You see the haymow treasure
Up it's rich, sweetscented store;
See the silos take their measure
Till they can't hold any more;
Hear the stabbed mileh-cows lowing:
Watch the pretty young things thrive
And your spFing-dream leaves you knowing
That il S good to be alive.

Friesian Register.

Historic Pillow Not Lost.

Not long ago there appeared in a
farm paper the statement that no trace
Of the historic Daniai Webster plow
could be found l remember seeing
it when visiting the New Hampshire
college at Durham. To Prof +. w.
Tavlor | am indebted for the following
historic sketch. The pillow was made
about 1910 and used by Daniel Webster
on his estate in Marshtield, Mass 1t
is related that Mr.. Webster greatly en-
loved holding the handles behind four
yoke of oxen and listening to the roots
crack. After his death in 1852 the
pillow was secured by the New Hamp-
shire historical society and taken to
Hanover. At the opening of Culver
hall in 1871 the pillow was taken into
the field and with David NJ. Clough OF
Canterbury, known as the ''corn king
of New Hampshire and then chair
man of the legislative committee OF
agriculture, holding the handles, sew
eral burrows were turned. This wa
the last actual service to which The
pillow was ever put.
The qlow was removed to Durham
with the New Hampshire college il
1891. 1t was exhibited at the Philadel
/ phia centennial exposition in 1876, am
/ at the Chicago word 3 fair in 1893.

Take Care of Your Children's Feet


In the July American Magazine DIR.
Arthur r. Reynolds, former health
commissioner of Chicago, tells of the
many troubles that can make life mis-
cradle and that come from feet that
were neglected in childhood Among
other things he says:
Children should go barefeoted at
all times while indoors and through
the summer. They should never wear
any foot covering at any time that in
any way distorts the toes or any part
of the foot, or that interferes in any
way with its normal growth and de-
velopment. The same may be said of
adults.
"Any reform in the shape of shoes
must begin with the shoemaker1's last
| Shoemakers do not seem to be able to
get away from form and beauty in
shaping it. 1t is shaped largely b.
guess, and is pointed and turned al
at the toe. No normal foot il sc
shaped. The only rational last is made
from plaster cast Of the foot while
bearing weight, aad the mold can bs
made only Of some semi-selid materia
! that hardens when cool or dry There
il little hope of getting q nationally
shaped shoe until the wooden last i
totally discarded. It is safe to assert
that good-looking and non-deforminl
shoes can be made Y ~ ut IT.
