Anglo French Debt

The reverse of this is also true. AZ

and the next instant the angel was
gone.
The next morning, as the homeiy
little girl was on her way to school
with the apple In her satchel, n of
the children in the school came half
way to meet her holding out an
orange. "We were awful mean to
you yesterday" said the child.
Wouldn't you like an granger"
Oh how that one little act of kind
ness paved the way for love to growl
And 1t did grow. Many a struggle II
had, and many a sorrow was mixed
with the joy; but the homely little
girl kept on doing as the angel had
hidden her. She thought of a thou
sand things she could do for the
children at school and for the babies
at home, and love throve SO fast that
before she knew 1t she and the child
rem were the best of friends, and
they thought no more of her ugly
body than did the babies at home.
Still there was little change in the
homely little girls body. Her feet
and hands her ears and nose and
mouth were just as large and her
eys just as small. Still, the angel
had said she could make for herself
a beautiful body and, although she
couldn't understand the homely little
girl knew in her heart that the angel
had spoken the truth. So she kept
on being kind and happy, and, as the
vars went by, she began more and
more to see into the meaning of the
angels message.

the people found themselves standing

the years just past. Where the old
bodies had gone no one knew, but
new ones were not a bit like them.
Some were SO small and SO colorless
you could scarcely see them; some
were black and terrible to look at;
some were fair and good to see. In

had made out of little kindly acts of
Joyous love- Every one was gazing

she was, and clothed in light and

It is possible with a little care to
have an all-summer radisE bed and
the benefit more than repays the
small amount of care required.
Soil for the radish bed should be
a light, sandy loan mixed with stable
manure and old droppings from the
poultry house. 1t should be deeply
spaded, p~ulverized finely and the ma
nures well mixed in through the en-
tire depth. If the soil is not naturally
sandy 1t will pay to secure this loose
ness by adding soil.
One of the greatest pests which him
der the enjoyment of radishes is the
worm SO frequently found at the cen
ter of the radish. A few pounds Of
salt to every square of 10 feet well
worked into the upper soil will usual
ly prevent trouble from this source.
If the long varieties are grown, the
salt should be mixed in further down,
