Nancy and Her Best Friend Sow Some Seeds

It was warm day, and Grandfather sat on garden
bench famed himself with his broad brimned hat and
nopped his brow, but Nancy dug away very patiently.
Grandfather thought that they had worked hard
enough for day, and they put off planting seeds
til the next day.
Immediately after breakfast the next morning Nancy
called Grandfather and begged him to and plant the
seeds in her garden First they dug little trenches about
three inches Deep Then they put in the lettuce seeds
which hidden in long tape, and Nancy poured water
them from little watering pot. Next they covered
the trench with nice soft earth and put up little
sign which read LETTUCE.
After that they dug another trench about eight inches
from the first and planted radshes and then of
onions. They put up sign each row, that they
would recognize the vegetables when they out.
"Now, Nancy" said Grandfather, 1--WE shall leave them
and try forget all about them for ten days So and

Elephants Are Either
 Right or Left-Handed in Using Their Tusks

Elephants are "Fight-handed" and 'left-handed" in using their tusks, and an examination of the tusks of any particular elephant will reveal the class to which the elephant belongs.
 An elephant uses only one tusk most of the time it is digging for salt earth, uprooting trees or tearing up roots, says a contributor to the Field. When its working tusk becomes badly broken it turns to the other, just as a man who has injured his right hand takes to his left. The tusk must be very se- verely damaged before the elephant will give up using it in preference to the other.
 The working tusk becomes worn and smooth toward the end-sO much worn, in fact, that it is often apprecia- bly, shorter than the other and ire Quently the tip has been broken off. After that has happened the jagged edge becomes graduallyaworn smooth, and in the course of years pointed again, but the working tusk is always blunter than the other.
