Tho drtrint of self-sacrifice la a thoroughly ihtiiIcIoiir ono as lutsr-pr-teil ly nnxt women. They Ronerul ly tiuuVrstaml It as mcanltiK that It Is ratluT a Hue thin to marry tho matt whom they have censcri to love, to re fuse to marry the man who has censed to love another woman, to make them selves the s'aves of their children, tp lieelect their health for the sake of their "iluty" and to make themselves generally idiotic. They lt up late at nlKht sewitiit on frocks for their daugh ter, rulniti their eyesight, cultivating liendiichu and wrinkles and flattering themselves that they are showing a lorty spirit of solf-forjretfu'ness.

That Is a fair sample of the feminine Ideal of sacrifice. Women have learned tho fact that renunc'at'.on is lovely. They have yet to grasp the equally Import ant one that to sacrifice good things for trivial causes Is absurd ami de serves the punishment due to all folly. One of the forms of sacrifice In which -women particularly delight Is tho skipping of meals. Breakfast and dinners have to be prepared with cous'deratlon. for these are attended by the brutal masculine members of the household. But luncheon! How women love to sacrifice It! They will sav: "Now we'll have a good, low? .lay of sewing. I guess I'll Just tell Mary to bring up some crackers and tea at noon, so that we needn't break :fr in our work. I think we may man nun to get Lucy's shirt waists done lo-day." As if 'it made the slightest particle of difference when Lucy' hlrt waists were finished. So they stimulate themselves with tea, court headache by sitting iu a close room all flay, work and strain their nerves and muscles and flatter themselves that they are model mothers, HER MIND WAS ELSEWHERE.

Seating herself in a comfortablo posi tion, she gnsied with placid connten nnce on those about her. "Fare, please!" recalled her to stern reality. With a confident air she put her hand In her pocket horror! nothing there but a hairpin! Madly she thrust her hand Inside her mysteriously made bodice nothing! Her face assumed an almost tragic fear aa she gaBpcd, "Oh, I have lost It!" "Lost what?" gruffly asked the con- ductor. "My purse," she moaned. , "Isn't that It?" and he pointed to a neat little leather case lying Innocently on her lap. "Ah, so It Is. Oh, dear, how very stupid!" Picking It up, she handed him a brand-new dollar from Its con tents. "I am sorry to nave Kept you waiting so long," she apologized. The passengers smiled, the woman blush ed, and the conductor stepped out on the platform to make change. In a moment he returned and handed It to her, and his features had gone back to that Indifferent, cold stare of a thoroughbred horse car conductor. Thanking him humbly, she began counting It. Over and over she count ed that money, each time her face be coming more and more puzzled. Once more she tried, but with the same re sult. Flushing Into an angry look, she beckoned him to "come hither.' "Sir, did I not give you one dollar! "You did, mum," replied he. "Well, there are but ninety-five centf here!" And she almost threw the silver at him. "And did ye expect to ride freel What's the matter wld ye?" "Oh my of course what AM I thinking about I forgot the fare I hope" but her voice faded away aa she noticed the suppressed laughter of the passengers, while the conductor scratched his chin and wondered when "them things would vote," Life.

An Avalanche In Maine. When nature does anything In the vast northern Maine wilderness, she does it on a grand scale, and now comes news of a landslide there, com pared with which the famous aval anche of the Crawford notch was but child's play. One evening not long ago, during one of the heavy thunder showers, lightning struck the summit of Mt. Baker Mr. Randall, who lives n'nne In his eiiniu about five mile from the mountain, heard amid tho crashes of thunder a long-drawn roar ing unlike anything he had heard be fore. It startled him so as to drive sleep from him during the night, and In the morning he started out to find whence tho sound came. One glance at Baker mountain solved the mystery. Thousands of tons of rocks, loosened probably by the lightning shock, had p:oughed a trough an eighth of a mile wide from summit to base; of the peak. For several miles the enormous trees bad been swept bofore the avalanche and burled under twenty-five feet of gravel. The news reached the lower settlements a day or two later, being borne by the thick, muddy water that changed the character of Lyford Ponds. Silver lake and F'.easant river. An expedition started northward to learn the cause of this mud, and heard the whole story at Randall's camp. Lewlston Journal. tlon. I was walking near me raiiroaa with an Irish laborer returning from work one evening, when I saw one ot the despised class walking on the tracks. I turned to my companion and said: "Pat, you had better run down there and make that fellow understand that he Is In danger. Make him get oil those tracks." "Shure, sor, he's nothln' but a Hun garian," said Pat "But he has a soul," I retorted. Pat chuckled: "The only bowI he has Is on his fut." "Well, Pat, he belongs to your church; he's probably a Romanist." "Indade, then, the sooner he's In purgatory, the sooner he'll be outl' replied Patrick. Harper's Drawer. flomeofthe Iilamlvantnitc or Urnmlcmt luff. With Advice an to Fertiliser. It Is when the snow Is on the ground that some farmers seed clover on wheat land, but it Is doubtful if seeding too early Is of any advantage It Is true that broadcasting the seed over the surface covers every portion, and the rains carry It Into the soil, but there are periods In the early spring when the ground Is as hard as rock, and It the seed Is not washed away It will be clustered In spots, leaving others bare, as Is witnessed every season. It Is not the case that all farmers venture to sood down tholr clover until the sea Bon Is warmer, but the rule Is to sow as soon as It can be done. The pro per method Is to harrow the wheat with a smoothing harrow, sow the clover seed, and harrow the field again, which does not Injure the wheat, but enables the seed to be bet ter covered and secure lodgment. Plenty, of seed Is Important, as the birds destroy a portion, some of the seed may be worthless, and a portion Is also destroyed should a warm spell nf weather be followed by severe coia. These causes have prevented good strands of clover, although the failure of the seed was attributed to some thing else. Clover Is a nitrogen gatherer. That Is, It procures the greater proportion of Its nitrogen from the full nitrogen of the atmosphere, and by its roots. which take up nitrogen as ammonia and nitric acid, when the rains bring these substances down from the air and carry it into the soil. Any nitro genous fertilizer is therefore of but little value for clover, but the crop ia greatly benefitted by potash and lime. Land plaster (sulphate of lime), whlcbj is sparingly soluble in water, gives excellent results on some soils, but land that has been heavily limed with air-slaked lime in the fall should be in excellent condition for clover. provided it is not deficient in potash. An application of a hundred pounds of sulphate of potash will often prove sufficient to Induce a large yield, but wood ashes, which contain both lime and potash, cannot be excelled for clover. , Leaving the value of clover as a hay crop aside. It is one of the best crops known for restoring the fertility of the soil. Its roots, which contain nitrogen largely, restore that substance to the soil, and it is a practice with many to cut the first growth for hay and plow under the second growth, followed by, an application of lime. If this is done the only forms of fertilizers required by the farmer will be potash and phosphates, which will keep the soil well supplied with plant food In fair proportions for nearly all other crops. Red clover is a biennial, but the new crimson clover, which is an annual, may be sown in the fall and plowed under In the spring, being well adapt ed on soils that will not produce red clover: but where red clover can be grown it should be given the prefer ence, as it cannot be surpassed in the many advantages which It possesses by any other crop grown upon the farm.

Hope far the Miner As the result of elaborate Investiga tion. Dr. J. S. Haldane arrived at the conclusion that in colliery explosions the deaths from suffocation were due, not, as was genera'ly supposed, to car bonic acid gas, but to the preponderance of nitrogen and tho deficiency of oxygen. Life could be saved if the colliers could be supplied with oxygen for an liour or so, and he had devised and exhibit ed an apparatus for enabling a man to breathe oxygen, of which sixty liters were compressed Into a one-half liter bottle, with tiilx and regulating taps, supplemented by a wire compress for the nose to prevent breathing through that organ.

Car of th Colt's Ft. On the sharp, frozen ground the colts may break their hoofs especially, if they are not kept trimmed down, and SSUhJadS equal in desirability for residence purposes that can never be converted Into a well shaped one. Sometimes a hoof Is bo broken off at one side while It remains long at the other the tendons of tbt leg are strained. A badly mis shapen hoot is almost sure to make the animal awkward, and perhaps il) gaited. The way to prevent annoying, and possibly serious results, is to keep a close watch on the colts' hoofs and slon care and good judgment In this work. It will very rarely, if ever, be neces sary to pare off the sole of the hoof; and if ever this work is done, it should be done with the greatest care, and tho frog should be carefully avoided. Ex cept In possibly very rare cases all that is necessary is to cut off the edges of the hoof. This is best dona by setting the hoot on a solid plank or other smooth, level surface, and with a chisel cut down and through' the edge of the hoof, cutting off exces sive growth, and leaving the edge of the hoof aa regular as possible. This trimming of the hoofs is a good train ing for the colt. It will soon learn to have its hoofs handled and trimmed without objection. While one must ba firm, the first point is to exercise kind ness. The colt Is afraid; reassure it On no account lose temper. The man that cannot control his temper is unfit to handle a colt on any occasion. Do you want SHEET MUSIC?
