the bedroom down to the beach. and it seemed certain that the murderer had carried or dragged the body of his victim there, and thrown it into the water. In those days men were hanged for stealing spoons, and the only thing to do was to hang John Thomas, even if his victim could not be found
 It happened that new executioner had just been inaugurated in that dis trict, and John was his first patient. He probably was overcome by stage fright, for he bungled the job. He gave John too much rope, so that his toes rested on the ground, and when he was cut down it was found that he still lived. Friends and sympathizers smuggled the body away and revived him. Kept in close concealment, he soon recovered from the shock, and was as good 9 man as ever.
 Then, under an assumed name, he went down to Portsmouth, where he secured a job on warship that was about to sail for the West Indies. There he remained for three years, and distinguished himself for dili- gence, valor and sundry other admi- rable qualities, so that he was promot- ed to the position of masters mate, and was generally liked and respected aboard ship as well as on land.
 At the end of the three years he re- turned home and drew his pay. Then, after visiting his aged mother, and leaving her q little roll of real money, he at once embarked upon another ship that was about to sail for foreign parts. As he lounged about the deck waiting for the vessel to get a move on her, he saw an old mariner whose face was strangely familiar He knew he had seen that ancient, wind-bitten countenanee somewhere, but where?
 He puzzled over it long time, and suddenly illumination came. Laying an agitated hand on the ancient mar iner's shoulder, he cried:
 Didn't you sleep at the Boar's Head inn at Deal on the night before Christ mas, four years ago?"
 "Ay, marry" quoth the ancient mari ner. "Shiver my timbers and bust my pinnacle toplights, or words to that effect, if I ever forget that night"
 The ancient mariner was glad to tell his story. He had been trying to tell it for years, and nobody would listen to him. and here was young man who really seemed impatient to hear the facts.
 Before going to the inn that evening the boatswain had been to a surgeon who extracted a quantity of blood from him. He was weak and sick when he went to bed, and fell into troubled

NECESSARY WORK IN
 GARDEN AND ORCHARD
Growing Fruits Depend Largely Upon Bees to Help Distribute
 Pollen Among Trees.

Horticulture and apiculture are very closely related. Growing fruits de pends very largely upon bees to helI distribute pollen from one tree to an other and not leave every flower de pendent upon its pollen or fertiliza tion. Then the flowers of fruit trees and the cover crops in the orchard provide honey for the bees.
 We are as farmers beginning to ap preciate the interrelation of the vari ous divisions of agriculture and arc therefore making better use of our op portunities as farmers.

He had a faint recollection of a stranger climbing into bed with him, and also vaguely remembered the departure of the stranger during the night. Then he aWoke to find that the wound made by the surgeon had broken open, and he was bleeding profusely. Fearing that he would bleed to death, he has. tily donned his clothes, and set forth from the inn, hoping to find the sur. geon, but no sooner had he set foot in the street than he was seized by a press gang and carried away to the beach, where man-of-wars boat was waiting. In this he was conveyed to the ship, and sailed away to the East Indies, where he had been ever since, little dreaming that his abrupt depart ure had imperiled human life.
 Here the chronicle ends. The sail. maker and the boatswain step out of history as abruptly as they stepped in and even the fate of the buxom land. lady is shrouded in mystery.

 Spray the apple trees immediately after the blossoms or petals fall in order to fill each little calyX cup or cavity with poison. About three fourths of the codling moth worms which hatch from eggs three or four weeks later enter the apples through this cavity. If we succeed in putting a few grains of arsenic in each little calyx cup the first meal the apple worm takes will be its last one.
 Since the calyx cups stand wide open for only a week or ten days, the spray must be applied within this time in order to be effective.
 What to Use.
 Commercial lime sulphur at the rate of 11a gallons to 50 gallons of water, and arsenate of lead paste at the rate of ? or 21a pounds to each 50 gallons of spray mixture should be used.
 The trees should not be sprayed while in full bloom. Such work would interfere with pollination, without which fruit cannot set, and destroy the fruit growers best friend, the honey bee. It is safe to spray when two thirds of the petals have fallen, be- cause the flow of nectar has practically stopped and few, if any, bees will be injured.
 This should be the most thorough and drenching spray of the season. A nozzle throwing a rather coarse driv-

boatswain of large ship just arrived from India.
 John agreed to this arrangement without hesitation, and, after slowing away @ good supper and quafing a few flagons of brown October ale, he was shown to the room, where he found the elderly boatswain already in bed. The sailmaker disrobed, blew out the candle, and climbed into the downy couch. He found the boatswain a wretched bedfellow. The old man groaned and ground his teeth as though troubled with an ingrowing conscience, and the way he kicked with his feet and clawed with his hands was a sin and a shame.
 After standing it for a while, the sailmaker concluded to take a walk, thinking that the old man might be quieted down by the time he returned. It was late at night, and the inmates of the tavern were in bed, so John tip toed quietly to the back door, only to find that he couldn't open it with his fingers. He remembered that he had seen the boatswain's s knife on the win dow ledge in the room, so he stole back and secured it. With this he was able to lift the latch of the door. He stepped forth into the cool, refreshing night and enjoyed good walk.
 Returning quietly to his room, he found to his astonishment that the boatswain was not there. But the bed clothing was stained with his blood, and there was blood on the floor, on the door, almost everywhere. He was scared stiff, and followed his first i'm pulse, which was to fly. Securing his bundle, he left the inn, and walked to his mothers home.
 There he was arrested the day after Christmas. The boatswain's knife was in his pocket, and his story sounded improbable. Save for the absence of the victims body, there never was a stronger case of circumstantial evi- dence against man It was so strong that John was promptly tried and con victed of murder. It was shown that the bloodstains had been traced from

POISON SPRAY FOR
 THE YOUNG B0RERS
Common Chemical May Be Used to Advantage in Destroying
 Insects on Trees.

Common spray chemical may be used to great advantage on the trunks of trees at definite periods for borers. When the trunk is kept well covered with a thin film of poison, the young borer, soon after matching, will eat of this upon entering the bark, and his first meal will end him at once. As the period of matching extends over sev- eral months, during which time the bark on the trunks cracks from the expansion beneath it due to growth. the application of poison must be made more frequently.
 Before June 1 or as early thereafter as possible, make a thorough search of all trees for borers. Apple-tree borers are usually found above ground and these are best destroyed by in- jecting a few drops of carbon bisul phate into their tunnels and plugging them tight with soft clay or putty. Remove the earth to the depth of four to six inches about peach trees and cut out all borers possible with the pruning knife.
 After thus removing all borers that can be found spray or paint the trunks of the trees with a mixture of eight to ten pounds lead arsenate paste and 50 gallons of dilute lime-sulphur solu, tion, one part to four or five of water. Mound the earth about the trees tC the height of six or eight inches. Re peat the application about the middle of July and again in the middle of Au. gust. This application is a preventive measure and not remedy for the bor CTS already in the tree.

ing spray with high pressure should be used in order to force the poison down deep into the calyx cups.
 Most Important Spray.
 This is the most important single spray of the season. It not only con- trols the first brood larvae of the cod ling moth, but it also prevents, to a great extent, the losses occasioned by the later broods of the best It is also an important spray in controlling the lesser apple worm, plum curculio. cankerworm, apple scab, black rot and other less important insect pests and fungous diseases.
 Later Sprays Necessary.
 The next spray should be applied about two or three weeks after the .calyx spray. This will be about the time the majority of the first brood codling moth eggs are matching, and if the surface of the leaves and fruit is thickly peppered with the poison ous spray many of the worms will be killed by feeding slightly before they reach the blossom end of the little ap pie. Since this is also the first impor tant spray against apple blotch, bor deaux mixture should be used with the arsenate of lead if this disease Is prevalent in the orchard.
 About eight or nine weeks after tht blossom or calyx spray the third ap plication should be made. using tht

 Later sprays may be necessary, but under average conditions the work as outlined above, if thoroughly done, should control not only the codling moth but the other more important in- sect pests and diseases of the orchard. Other spray schedules might be sug- gested but this is the one which has given the best results in the tests of the Missouri agricultural experiment station.

One to which he will pay special attention was dealt with in the bill introduced some time ago providing that the government should buy fixtures to be attached to ma chimes now used widely for making sporting rifles, so that those machines can be converted readily into makers of military rifles.
 Endorsement of the Hill bill for the protection of the dyestuffs industry, as a means towards securing pre- paredness in the national defense by reason of the fact that dNostuffS Ilants can readily be converted to the manufa cture of high explosives in 'arge quantities, has been obtained from the war department.
 Early this month MT. Hill wrote to the then Secretary of War Garrison, laying before him a plan for CO., operation between the government and dyestuffs manufacturers to the end that the latter would be in position to insure an adequate supply of explosives in the event of war.
