Entirely alone he had started on a "shopping expedition through the streets of Hue. Of course no one knew him, because he had sever shown his face in public. He was simply a toy, and this was exactly what he wanted. But hi was treated with great respect by the shopkeepers because he seemed to have plenty of money. Curiously enough, the thing that seemed to attract him most was a head shearing machine or and when the frightened nobles of the court discovered him at last It was with this singular implement in his N'o doubt he intended to possession. amuse himself by shearing the heads of all his dependents.

Philadelphia Times A Lassoa of Trust, Home time ago a little boy waa dis covered in the streets, evidently bright and intelligent, hut sick,verj man who had the feeling of kindness strongly developed, went tohim,shook him by the shoulder, and asked him what he was doing there. "Waiting for God to come for me, said he, earnestly. What do yon mean? said the gentleman, touched by the pathetic tone of the answer and the condition of the boy, in whose eyes and flushed face he aw the evidence of fever. God sent for father and mother and little brother, said he, and took them away to his home up in the sky, and mother told me when she waa sick that God would take care of me. I have no home, nobody to give me anything, and I came ont tore and have been looking so long np in the for God to take me, as mother sky slid he would. He will come, won't to? Mother never told a lie. Yes, my lad, said the man, greatly overcome with emotion. "He has sent me to take care of yon. Yon should have seen his eyes flash and the smile of triumph break over Mother never his face, as he said: told a lie, sir; bnt yon have been so long on the way. A hs An Apparent Injustice. . Mollie had been to chnreh for first time, and on tor return borne the tor There comes a time in the farmers life when he is strongly tempted to leave the farm. Growing infirmities remind him that lie is not the man physically that he used to be. lie feels that he has worked hard enough, long enough, and has abundant means to make his old days comfortable, and determines to move to town. He pictures before him a green old age with all the comforts of life, and rest from unceasing toil and grinding care. These expectations are seldom realized in full and. as a matter of fact, we believe that most farmers who do this shorten their days, and after the first year or two, or perhaps after the first six months, are more discontented than they would have been under any on the farm. The circumstances reason it not hard to find. To a man who has been active either in mind or body fur thirty or forty years, idleness is misery. No man of this kind feels satisfied with himself unless he has some responsibility to occupy buth head and hands When to dot life he has nothing ceases to have much interest, lie misses the stimulus which work in the open air gives He misses the healthful occupation of mind or Interest in events of the farm. He ceases to read agricultural literature because he regards himself as no longer engaged In agriculture, and the result is with him, as a rule, a loss of happiness, and a visible shortening of life. There comes a time in the farmers life when It is exceedingly difficult, to know how to manage the farm. Hist time Is when he can no longer manage it without more exertion of body than he is capeble of performing, and when he does not feel that it will pay him to procure efficient help even if it could be had. Happy la he who has a son on whose broad shoulor ders he can roll the burden, . still retaining enough of his land end stock to occupy his mind and give him the exercise he needs Under these circumstances he may spend a green old age and give to his children and grandchildren the fruits of his ripened exjiericnce. We always feel that our friends are making a serious mistake when they leave the farm son-in-la- for town. There are unpleasant things In connection with farm life in old age, and especially the difficulty of attending church, but these are less than the evils connected with breaking up all the old associations, and attempting to form new ones No man knows how intimately his life is connected with his friendship until he breaks up those of a quarter of a century standing, and undertakes to form new ones with people whose experience is in lines different from his own. About Illlllns PotntoM. Most farmers hill their potatoes They do this, as we have done ourselves when convinced that hilling la always injurious and in a very Ary season is almost always fatal to the crop. It is Impossible for a moderate summer rain, or even a violent rain, to penetrate the potato hill so far as to furnish moisture to the roots A rsln which fell slowly for 84 hours might do this but summer rains are not often of that character. The rain falls heavily, compacts the surface and runs off in the furrows between the rows made by hilling. These furrows are just where the feeding roots of potatoes should be if the loose soil were not earthed up around the hills. Why do fanners thus run counter to the plain laws of potato growth? It is usually to keep the potato from growing out of the ground and aun-burni- until the larger part are worthless for marketing. Some potatoes naturally form tubers nearer the surface than do other varieties even those sorts that were most objectionable in this respect we would not hill up as is usually dona It is comparatively a light task to go over a field that has hod level culture and draw with a hoe a little earth above potatoes that appear above ground rather than to use a shovel plow, tearing to pieces the feeding roots of potatoes between the rows on which the future growth of the tubers depends If. as usually happens, the shovel plowing is delayed until tubers are formed, the growth of these tubers is at once arrested, and the result at best is two crops of very small potatoes in each hilL Too shallow planting of potatoes is the common mistake. The d potatoes undoubtedly come up quicker, and if very early potatoes are planted deep on wet ground they may rot in the soil and not come up at all, especially if fresh cut But by partially drying the cut potato seed it may be planted four or grandmother asked her what she thought of it I liked it very much, she replied, "but there waa one thing I didnt think waa fair.
