BABET’S SACRIFICE From the summit of a certain ample hill near Champrosay the view is rare ly beautiful and has inspired many a poet and painter. But this story is not concerned with the landscape. At the foot of the hill, in the winding, pic turesque valley, stands a rough, weather-beaten cottage. It has stood there for years and years, and the woods of Senart, opposite, look down upon it with a long-remgnized com radeship. The cottage is not empty, oh. no, indeed! That can be attested easily enough by the white muslin curtains, coarse, but clean, that flutter in the tiny, open windows; and, also, by the pretty roses that bloom on every side. Out of the open cottage door come two figures—an old brown man and an old gray woman, the man in cordu roys. the womau wearing a neat white rotton cap and a blue apron. Xo sooner have they come into view than a burst of exquisite melody greets them, shrill and sweet, pierc ingly sweet, now diving, swaliow-wise into tender warblings, fluting of liquid cadences; now hastening to ascend, soaring high and higher in eager, joy ful ecstasies. Then one sees what one has failed to observe before, up among the yel low eglantine and the climbing Pro vence rose vines hangs a wicker cage containing a thrush. - “Chrysostome! le joli Chrysos tomeJ ’ says the old man, approaching the cage. ‘‘Good morning. Chrysos tome. ' He feeds the bird out of a small store of millet with which he has filled his pocket. Babet. his wife, watches him furtively for a second, and as she sees his crippled move ments she sighs to herself: “My poor Pierre, he grows weaker every day. if I only had some rich Burgundy to give him. But. helas! we are poor. Well, the good God knows what he does.” As Pierre turns around Babet dis misses the worried expression from her nervous, little face and summons the ever-ready smile. They had not always been poor, this loving old couple—not so very poor, at least. Before the rheumatism had set tled down upon him. when he had the use of his strong, willing limbs, Pierre had gotten along very com fortably with his modest bit of farm ing in that fertile valley. Often the artists, who would hang around the hills of Champrosay with their easels and canvas as the bees hang around the clover, would say to him: “Why do you not move into town md work? You would make much more money in a town. Now. beyond the woods, there, at Soisy, for exam ple, I know a baker—” But the broad-shouldered, hearty peasant would smile cheeriully and would wisely shake his head. “Monsieur is kind to suggest. But, no, no. We have been happy here, my wife and I. This is our place in the world, and here we will live until the good God say* ‘Come.’ Even then —ah! you will laugh, monsier, but I will tell you what I say to my wife. I say, ’Babet, let us pray that the good “You may name your own price." God will permit us to have In his hea ven Just 3uch a cottage as this’ ” “May your wish be fulfilled,” the artists would reply before going their way. That was some years back. Now well, they are still happy, Pierre and Babet. Have they not each other, and have they not their little brown thrush to cheer them? But, beyond doubt, they are very pcpr. . “Our roses are adorable this sum mer, adorable—Is it tot so, my Pierre?” babet accompanied hfer quickly sum moned smile with this cheery remark as the old man turned round after his bird-feedlhg. ‘Thp thrush had contin ued its.warbling and was again Sfend: ing #b $ flood of song.; : :' i /"Oh, listen, father! : bid; y “You haven’t forgotten me, then?” of Burgundy and other dainties for her Pierre had suddenly floated across her vision. “I would give you a fair price for the bird," the stranger went on. “I would like to have it for my little daughter. In fact, you may name your own price.” Pierre was about to repudiate the offer again when he caught Babet’s eye. She was already speaking. “And monsieur’s little daughter would be very good to the bird?” 8he lifted up her worn, gentle face, and eyed him anxiously. Poor Pierre hesi tated and stumbled a little before he was able to stammer vaguely: “You are going to sell our Chrysos tome, Babet?” “Yes, yes,” she said, decidedly. But she gave her head a sort of helpless nod. and looked down at her blue apron. | The artist paid double the sum named, and said he would send a servant that afternoon to clafm his purchase. When the servant arrived at the chalet with the bird, the cage was placed in a large window in one of the drawing-rooms. The window open ed to the sun and to the fragrance and’ greenery of the garden, But not a note, n'ot a sound camo from the mel ancholy thrush. It drooped and hiing its head as if moulting. , They fed, they whistled, they coaxed; but It re mained motionless and moping. The Artist was indignant. He l>ad not really pressed the old people to sell thpif bird; he had given them double the. sum named and now'? It was not In his nature to be suspicious but it certainly looked As if another thrush had been palmed off upon him in plape of the magnificent songster he had heard that morning. However, he gave the bird several days’ trial. At length, patience was exhausted, and he sent for its late owner to remonstrate with him.upon his deception: Pierre trudged heavily into the room, hat in hand, and the artist turn ed* around, armed with some righteous rebuke. But neither he nor Pierre was al lowed to spean; for no sooner had the old man made his appearance in the room than the thrush leaped down froth its perch, flapped Hs wrings joy ously and burst ihto so triumphant a song that the whole room' seemed1 to vibrate with its melody. < : ^ ’♦What Chrysostome, le Jolt Gktysos tome," said the old man, going *Up‘ close to the wicker cage, “you haven’t forgotten me, theti?’’ forgotten him, indeed! The bird extended its slender body, expanded ft* soft chest and rilted Tta little iuhgs.

Poet's Experience With , the Child of His Brain. • The eager poet wrapped it up care fully and set out for the city, where the leading magazine editors sat in judgment on such as his—or. Father, on such as might not hope to be quite as his, and it was night when he came to the city. At the hotel where he chose to lodge he passed it to the clerk, with instructions to place it in the safe, where valuables were kept for security. “What value?” the clerk inquired. The poet’s face flushed with pride. “It is. perhaps, scarcely possible to place a value upon it, but-” “Say two hundred?” suggested the busy and practical clerk. “That is. perhaps, something of the sort they will place on it," replied the poet, with a deprecatory curl of his lip. “Yes;!’ say two hundred,” and he sighed. The clerk checked it at two hun dred, and put it away in the safe. Next morning the poet arose, paid for his lodge, received it safely into his hands again, and went forth. The after noon was waning when the poet, look ing wan and weary, stood again at the hotel desk, with it (no longer with a large 1) in his hand. “Ah!” said the clerk. “Care for it again? Same value, i suppose?” "Well—er—ah—not exactly.” said the poet, still eagerly, but of a dif ferent variety of eager. “T ihink;—er. —ah—what I was going to say, was— er—as a matter of fact—er—could you let. me have half a dollar on it?” The clerk said he couldn’t hardly do it just then, and the poet took it and i went back to his humble village, where he opened a tin shop and did quite well—New York Times.

A summary of the salaries paid tc the school teachers in the chief Euro pean countries appeared recently in several American newspapers. This re port showed that the salaries of teach ers in England range from an average of $350 for Inen to $250. or even as low as $200, for women. The lowest annual salary paid to a full-fledged teacher In Belgium is $192. In Denmark city teachers begin with $230 and village teachers with $182. The average for a country or village teacher in Prussia is $218 per year, although Berlin teach ers receive from $315 to $650; women are paid from $140 to $400. France has an irreducible minimum of $220. Hoi land $160, Portugal $96 for the country and $108 for the city and Sweden and Norway $136 for men and less than , $60 for women. The average salary in Switzerland is $340 for men and $275 for women. Greece divides its teachers into classes, those in the first receiv ing a maximum salary of $26 per month, those In the second $16, and those In the third $13. Teachers’ sal aries in Spain vary from $100 per year in the villages to $480 In Madrid. Royal Discipline In Italy. When the King of Italy came to the throne he determined to lessen the 'ex penses of the royal household and to abolish Sinecures. Being an early riser^ he turned up one morning at the office of the household at eight o'clock, and found two attendants lazl# beginning to dust the furniture. Being1 anxious t-d dictate some'letters, and finding no ohe to write them, he seized a duster from one of the alarmed men. and having dusted one of the desks, sat down and occupied the neat hour and a half in writing the'tetters himself. When at half-past nine one of the: clerks sauntered in he was staggered to see the King sittlhg there. The King, looking at his watch sig nificantly asked him at ‘what time he and his still absent colleagues were supposed to commence work. “Eight o'clock, sire,”- was the faltering reply. “Aiul see you have not enough to do. I must get rid of some of you.” He was as good as his word, and there has not been another case of- iffipuncta- i allty Inthatdepartmert from that day to this. • •'■■i ■ •*, j . _...— .r : Wireless System for-Russia.

Cold dishwater-fs and always has been one of the trials which wom an has to bear at frequent intervals, sometimes because a neighbor comes to call whom she cannot take into the kitchen while she is doing her work and sometimes because the baby needs attention or something else hap pens to take up her time. To put the pan on the stove means scalding hot water and possibly damaged crockery and china when she returns, and to leave it in the sink means cold water and all the grease hardened and stuck fast to the dishes. " - That is to say, this has been the state of affairs previously, but now there is a dishpan which seems to have the faculty of keeping the water at just about the proper temperature when the dishpan happens to be left full of unwashed dishes for a half hour or so. This plan is provided with a wide flange around the edge which elevates the bottom from the hot sur face of the stove sufficiently to pre vent the water from reaching tho boiling point. It will also be seen that there is a double compartment inside the plan, one space being util-, ized for the rinsing water and the other for that in which the dishes are washed. It is possible to draw the water off from either compartment without lifting the heavy pan, a fau cet being provided for thi3 purpose. It might also be possible to utilize this dishpan in conjunction with a i New Dishpan Solves Problem. smgll alcohol lamp, which would be located in the center of the pan and warm the water in beth compart ments, thus doing away with the necessity of starting up tlie lire to heat water for this purpose.

In the course of the discussion which is now going on in England over the place of science in military education, one fact has been insisted upon by every pleader for more sci ence, namely, that the defect of class ical education as well in military and naval matters as in the other profes sions is as much in the mental habits It produces as in the knowledge which it fails to impart. It not only furnishes the student with an outlook on the world, based on the science of the year 1 B. C., but it equips him with intellectual tools, beautifully ornamented, and of great artistic perfection, but as hopelessly inadequate to the heeds of modern j life as are now the bow and arrow in warfare. The claims of a quack or the “revolutionary discovery'* un earthed by an imaginative reporter, seem to the classicist as inherently probable and far more interesting than the carefully worded announce ment of a great scientist. There is no difference in probability, so far as he can see, regarding the truth of the announcement that a South American traveler has discovered a bush pro ducing worms as fruit, and the claim ;of an Indian doctor that mosquito bites cause malaria. He accepts statements as facts, be cause some great man has made them. He is a believer in, and stu dent of, words rather than things. It is this attitude of mind, this confus ing of facts and fancies, that forms the heaviest indictment against the classical school. Electricity in Japan. According to the London Electrical Engineer, there is a great activity In the utilisation of electricity in Japan for lighting, power and traction pur poses. One city plans to develop 10, 000-horsepower by using the power of the Tama river* Power stations will be erected at three points. Electric traction systems, are being installed at various points, one of these, twen ty mile3,in length* now being built. The power plant , for this road is in course of erection, and will have an output of 540-horsepower. ’ Minced Horse Meat. It is stated that, a government com mittee has been appointed in Paris, to Investigate the use of raw horse flesh In the treatment of, tuberculosis, . and Other diseases. On the committee are. among other well-known men. Prof. Dcbove, dean of the Paris fac ulty of medicine, and Prof. Barrier of the veterinary school at Alfort. The .reasons for the inquiry are not as yeU clear, but may perhaps transpire iWhen the report of the committee is published. Energy of Radium. A chunk of coal releases, during combustion, enough energy to lift it>‘ self about 2,000 miles, or, say, from New York to Manila.But a chunk of radium emanation yields without any combustion an amount of enregy in the process of its evolution that would lift it. not only to the sun but to the orbit of the planet Neptune, the outside fence post of-the 90l«r ays* tem. and which is about thirty times farther from the sun than earth is.

What is the best method of curing a heifer of kicking while she is being milked? Many dairymen prefer to feed bran in the form of mash, but feeding ex periments prove that there is little or no advantage in adding water over feeding it dry. A very good use can be made of bran by mixing it with en silage. pulped roots or cut hay. If fed witn cut hay it is well to moisten the mixture so that the bran will adhere to the coarser food and not be blown ,out of the margin or inhaled by the . animals. 2... A good way to cure a kicking cow1 is to attach a short chain, with a ring in the end to the rack or stanchion frame; put a hook in each end of a rope and a ring eighteen inches from one end. Put the rope around the left hind leg above the .hock and hoog it in the ring and draw the leg forward until the foot is raised from the floor and hook It in the ! ■chain. Do not put the rope below the j nock, for she can then knock the | buekjpt over by swinging her foot. A I cow cannot kick with this tackle on ' her and she will soon givu up trying. She should be handled quietly. Sowing Alfalfa. O. S — In seeding with alfalfa how much seed should be sown per acre and should it be sown with oats or some other grain? Will I get a crop the first season? Alfalfa may be sown alono or with a nurse crop, such as wheat, oats or barley. If the land Is clean it is bet ter to sow it alone, but if dirty, the weeds are liable to overgrow and smother the alfalfa plants. If alfalfa is sown with a grain crop the latter should be thin, not more than about five or six pecks per acre. Whether sown alone or with a nurse crop the seed bed should be fine and not less than sixteen pounds of seed should be applied per acre. Alfalfa will not pro duce much bulk of crop the first sea son. If grown alone it should be mow high, when about a foot of fifteen inches in height, and this may be re moved or allowed to He as a mulch, according to its bulk. If grown with a nurse crop it should not be mowed after harvest, unless it reaches more than a foot in height, when the mowed crop should not be removed from the land. Alfalfa should not be pastured the first season, as the plants are lia ble to be drawn out by the roots when young. Fertilizer For Clover. ■ i E. A. W.—I wish to enrich a piece of land and cannot obtain yard ma nure; would it be better to apply ar tificial fertilizer or to grow clover and plough the crop under? If the land is sufficiently rich to grow a fair crop of clover we should assuredly advise the course you speak of to Improve it. The first cutting of clover may be made into hay, turning tho second growth under at the close of the season. If. however, the soil is very poor and the growth of clover will, unaided, be but thin and meager, it would certainly be profitable to ap ply a sufficiency of a suitable fertilizer tb give the clover a good start. For this purpose, nothing could be better than wood ashes, say, at the rate of ■25 to 50 bushels per acre, lightly1 ploughed" under; br, better still, har rowed In just before seeding. A good substitute for wood ashes could be made as follows: Muriate of potash, lfNVlbs.; superphosphate. 300 lbs.; ap plied at the rate of, say, 200 to 300 lbs. per acre. As a green crop for plowing nnder. probably the best’will be found to be common red clover, sown at the rate of 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. ’ f?- 1 . * - ’ Improving a Pasture. W. W. H.—I have a new pasture In which there is a strip where the seed ing did not catch well. Could I scat ter some more seed on this in the spring as to have it tit for pasture by the 25th of June? If so. what would be the best kind of grass to use? \ You can hardly have much of a pasture by the 25th of June, but you can •pick up your pasture as you sug .gest by broadcasting more seed over the vacant strip. If the seed is sown as the frost is coming out of the ground, ft will be sufficiently eovered without harrowing; but. If the ground is very heavy atid It is impossible to dd bo. a stroke with a light harrow before seeding, followed with a roller afterwards, will cause the seed to start at oboe For permanently Improv ing your pasture, I should make a mix tute' for thi$-bare strip in the follow ing -propdirt ion per acre: Timothy, 12 Clover,, ffpIbs.; Hungarian grade Oerma»"miiil>r'» lbs, --Tbe-' tlfddtlly- and ; elover-Svill pdrroanenly itopfcWd- the pasture.^ahd the ralHef, | which is un annual, will give a^edop^ the first year. MAKING GOOD ROADS DEMAND FOR HIGHWAY IM PROVEMENT SPREADING. .2TAW33 JriV People of the South Particularly Im pressed W'tft the Necessity for Change in This Respect—Why Far mers Should Be Interested in the Subject. ’ - 1' ■ s' The people1 of the South appear to be greatly aroused on tbe question of highway improvement. The roads of the South are, thoroughly mixed in proper proportion make an excellent road. As a re- G of this discovery a large mileage ,f sand-clay roads has been constructed in North and South Carolina and son.-* in other states. Two advantages of this kind of road are cheapness of eo* struction and abundance of mat rial. In many, coast counties in the South shells are used for making roads, and they prove an excellent substitute for crushed stone. In southern Alabama and Louisiana may be found some stretches of slreH road that are as fine ps any in the country. I ' It is a matter of surpiiae to some that the sentiment for national al
