A New Name For It A teacher in the sixth grade of one tot our cliy schools finds time, now and then, in spite of the ten thousand and one things unknown to the school ma'am of our youth which the modern teacher is expected to teach, to give lier pupils a talk on current history. Becently she told them, one day, some interesting things about Queen Vic toria and her family. Portraits cut from various magazines illustrated the talk. Among them was a picture of the Duke of York. The teacher held it up. Nobody in the class could tell her who it was. f'Well," said she at last. "I will tell you who this gentleman is. He is the Duke of York. And now can any of you tell me what he is?" Quick as a Sash the hand of a little girl In the second row went up. . "I can tell what he is, Miss Blank," she said proudly. "He's the heir con sumptive to the British throne."-. ?Washington Post. English Barber a Bad Workman.

The value of clover In making the ?oil better fitted for wheat is becoming better understood in those regions where successive crops of wheat havO reduced the fertility of the soil peril ously near the point of exhaustion. It is probably too early yet to say that very soon fertilizers will become an important question to all of our farm ers. At present there is plenty of land that will produce a good crop of wheat without fertilizing the soil. But that cannot last much longer. Our virgin soil is rapidly Scorning ex> hausted, and the farmers mu?t resort to modern methods o? replenishing it with fertilizing substances. Clover will thus come more promi DCRtly to the front In wheat-growing sections. Many farmers get as much value from their clover as they do from their wheat, but it is not this alone that clover is raised for. It is for the mechanical and nutritive ef> feet it must always have upon the soil. The necssity of supplying lime for the wheat holds also for clover. Usually the land is dressed with the lime at the time the clover is sown. The clovre plants avail themselves of this lime just as much as wheat, lt has been found that lime is a distinct friend to clover, and if it is not exactly a plant food it has such a beneficial effect on thc clover plants that one would not be far wrong in classifying it as such. Limo spread over hard, clay soil has a wonderful mellowing effect that is very beneficial, and in the end one may produce a permanent mellow loam out of the stiff, hard clay. This process is hastened and improved by using clover with wheat. The roots of the clover plants penetrate deeply into the soil and break it up In the course of a few seasons the most ob durate soil can be reduced to some thing like good tillable land in this way. Such a soil will not draw out in dry weather, nor will it flood the plant roots in stormy weather. It is difficult to say which does the greater amount of good-the clover or the lime. But one thing is certain, used ab a combination they work won ders -for the wheat land.-A. B. Bar rett in American Cultivator. From All Sides.

Tho Custom Ts Ancient and Is Carried on ns Amiably ns It? Nature Permits-'Sn inoan Clubs Replaced by White Men's Knives- Biblical VieW of the subject. Head-hunting, although about the only English Word for the thing, is a decided misnomer when applied to the j Samoan proc?dure? The Samoans are not at all head-hunters in the samo sense as the Dyaks of the Malay seas, who set out on expeditious of which the distinct aim is to gather heads, nud carefully dry the heads they have taken by suspending them id smoke until sufficiently preserved to orna ment the family fdoftree; The Samoans take heads incidental ly, merely to serve a temporary end as a measure of victory; After the heads have served this purpose they are never dried and hung dp for i na meut, but may be had on application by the next of kin of the former own ers. It is a very ancient custom of the Samoans,if one may repose coutideuce in the tellers of stories; but as the custom ?3 dot found among the other Polynesians of the Pacific there seems reason to believe that it has sprung up nmoug the Samoans sinca the period of their great dispersion six or eight centuries ago; Be that as it may, the custom certainly antedates the first coming of the white rueu, for, living in ignorance of metals, the islanders fashioned a peculiar type of club which their experience proved possessed dis tinct advantages for purposes of de capitation. The heading clubs had a thin hut deep blade aud were made of Very dense wood, wiiich would take an edge and not easily chip through the commou accident of its use for this particular operation. An essen tial feature of the type was a sharp and rather long hook or spine recurv ing from thc tip of the blade along its back. This was designed for carry ing the severed head aud gave this class of clubs the name "nifo oti," "the tooth of death." Since white men brought forges to the islands the specialized club has been replaced by a loug-haudled knife or hanger very much like the familiar machete with the addition of the hook at the eud, which is an essential. The old name still elinga to the steal heading knives, which between wars serve as dancing favors or toys for the official maid aud the official beau, who are part of the social state in every Sa moan village. At the dances and the frequent parades and processions of Samoan life village maids aud village dandies take a conspicuous part in juggling these long and dangerous looking implements of a special pur pose in war. Samoan battles scarcely deserve classification as a hazardous risk. They are fought for the most part at rather long rauge and with uncertain aim. Not many warriors ni e wounded and still fewer ar6 killed. If too mauy on any one side are fou ud to be get tiug hurt that side scampers away out of danger. Whenever possible the vauquished try to remove their dead from the field. The wounded moy be left behind with perfect confidence. They will be in no danger of violence at the bauds of the conquerers. But the slain represent a different aspect of bat tle. It is no shame to a Samoan fighting man to run away, but the victor will lose all his pride in victory unless he has a good tale of heads to show for it. No Samoan would attempt decapi tation of a living and objecting per son; but as soon as it appears that the enemy is wavering in battle and is likely to retreat, then a furious attack is made, both to turn the signs of wavering i uto rout add so to annoy the fugitive army that it will be pre vented from carrying away its dead. As soon as the victors find themselves securely e dablisbed on the field of battle they hunt for the enemy's dead and promptly chop their heads off. The severed heads are carried about the camp with ostentatious parade, and finally laid before the leader of the war party which has takeu them. After j serving as the visihle proof of victory, which they can do iu a high degree, inasmuch ns every head is perfectly well known by all who see it, the severed heads have no further use. As soon as night has fallen a 3tream of women from the camp of the vanquished begins to arrive, aud their errand is to reclaim the heads of the clain. They are cordially received and entertained, for Samoan warfare is only skin deep, after all; they have no difficulty in sst m ing the heads which they come after.and unmolested they set out for the camp of their party, carrying the heads in cocoanut baskets. The heads are assorted ont to the bodies with which they were formerly associated, and both are buried in some convenient spot.which after the return of peace will be marked by a cairn of rock decorated with bottles turned bottom up. There is a law of the Samoan gov ernment providing dire penalties upon those who chop heads in war. The Samoan government is very docile, under the prompting of the white of ficials in Apia ov of others whom it de sires to encouiago. The parliament of native chiefs will pass any law suggested to it and will assign Dra conian penalties for each and every infraction,but it .should be understood that these and all other laws of Samoa are to be taken in a purely Pickwick ian sense aud are not intended for use. There is one thing RS to which the Samoan is set to the last edge of ob stinacy. That is the Samoan custom. That is never open to argument, debate or alteration. Samoan fashion is good enough for all Samoans. If it is absurd they will giant the absurd ity, but they will continue the prac tice. When a Samoan can bolster up a Samoan custom by chapter and verse from the Biblo it is idle to think that he can Le moved from his position. Thc quest iou was put to one of the boat of f amoans whether she approved of the custom of decapitation. The woman could speak Euglish well. She had traveled widely, and in the course of her travels had spent considerable periods in Australia and the United Stutes. She was happily married,and seemed to bear much affection toward her good-tempered giant of a husband. With all this her only answer was that it was the custom of Samoa, aud that what was good enough for Goliath and John Hie Baptist was surely good enough for the Samoans.-New York Sun.

""Well, what of-" "And when you proposed to me 2 fell right into your arms, didn't I?" "Well, you did come pretty near it -that's a fact," admitted Gerald. "I haven't any small brothers, either, to play tricks on us or make fool speeches to yon while you are waiting for me in the parlor, have I?" "No." "No. And mnmrna never listens at the keyhole or calls down the stairway to ask If that young man.is here yet, does she?" "Surely not," "Surely not.

"No. But,-Byronia, dear" "You've never been the least bit jealous of anybody else, have you ?" "No. But" "No. Neither have I. Doesu't all that show, Gerald, that we really don't care for each other? No-stop-hold on! Let me finish. How do we know that we are not making a dreadful mistake? Think how terrible it would be if we-found out when it was too late that we were never intended fov each other !" Gerald had been doing some rapid thinkiug. He sat with his head in his hands for two or three minutes without speaking. Then he said with a deep, deep sigh: "I dou't know but you are right, Byrouia." "You know Miss Harkalong ? I am forcibly reminded of something she said to me the other evening. I had called there" "What were you doing at the Hark alongs' ?" t % "Simply making a call.

I suppose she--" "The dried-up old maid! What business was it of hers I should like . to know!" "She may have heard the same thing from others, you know-" "I don't believe it! The malicious old cat! Gerald-dear-" "Well?" "We'll marry now to spite her, won't we?" "Yes, if you-look out, dear. You'll scratch your face against my scarfpin." More English tho Army Grows. Regarding the composition of the English army, it is a curious fact that whereas Ireland furnishes only sixteen battalions of the line (and two of these are recruiting in Canada),no less than four cavalry regiments are distinctive ly Irish-the Fourth (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, Fifth (Royal Irish) Lancera, the famous Inniskillings and the Eighth (Royal Irish) Hussars. Scotland, with a population of about one-half that of Ireland, furnishes twenty battalions, exclusive of the Scots Guards (soon to have a third battalion), and but one cavalry regi ment, tho well-known "Greys." One has only to glance down the list of of ficers iu English regiments tc note what a large number of Scottish names ! occur, and yet the total number Scot ! tish recruits who joined last year was but 3561, Ireland providing about 400 more than that total. The peninsular war and Waterloo saw many so-called English regiments almost entirely composed of Irishmen, aud long after the Crimea many "English"regiments got most of their recruits from the sis ter isle, but each year-in spite of "distresses" of one sort or the other -sees the number of Irish recruits dwindle yet more. As a matter of fact, the "British" army becomes more "English" every year. Ostrich Families.

Mr. William Harvey and his sister, Miss Mary, living about six miles east of Richview, 111., tells a very interest ing story of themselves, which hap pened a number of years ago. They were quite small, the boy being about five and his sister seven years old. During the year 1S58, while the State Fair was being held at Central City, 111, an aeronaut of Chicago made an ascension In a balloon at the State Fair on Saturday morning, and his balloon came down about six miles east of here, near the country resi dence of William Harvey, Sr. The owner of the balloon, feeling chilled, went into the farmhouse to warm, and tied his balloon to a rail fence near the barn. Little Willie and Mary were playing near the barn. They noticed the balloon tied to the fence,? and, as they had never seen a balloon, they walked up to take a look at it. Seeing tk_t it would go up a few feet and then back again, they thought it would be fun to get in the basket and ride. Mary helped her little brother in and then she got in. The balloon went up and down a while; then all at once it gave a lunge and pulled itself loose from the' fence. Up and up* it went, with the little Harvey children in tho basket. The mother was'looking out of a window, and seeing the balloon going up told the aeronaut that his balloon had got away from the fence, and they all went out to see it The mother came, and, as she watched the balloon going up, she noticed some one in the basket. Not once did she think It- ..as her two littlt children, nor could .she believe it to .be her two children when her husband told her the chil dren were nowhere to be found. A search waa made all over the farm for the missing ones, but without re sult. The father at once drove to Rome, a short distance from his farm, and told the story. At once people followed the balloon. It went north about five miles, then turned west, . going over Central City. Everyone at the fair, thinking the aeronaut was making his return, cheered and cheered ns the balloon went over. Soon a telegram was received at Central City stating that the balloon contained the two little children of Mr. and Mrs. William,Harvey and to keep a lookout for it. But it was growing late and the balloon was travelling fast. Soon it was impossible to see it. It went south, we?t again and went over Mas coutah, 111., and then turned and went over East St. Louis. The little boy commenced to get cold and began to cry. Mary untied her apron and put it around Willie's head and he went to sleep in Mary's lap. About seven o'clock the next morning the balloon came down in a large tree on a farm southeast of Mount Vernon, 111. The owners of the farm, seeing the balloon in their tree, the lady of the house cried out to her husband: "Oh, John, God has sent us some children in a basket." John got the children out of the tree, took them into the house and after they were warm asked Mary who her j parents were. She told them, and the farmer took them home. Many of the visitors to the State Fair in 1S5S will remember the above 6tory and may be pleased to know that the little children who made this trip are now living and delight in telling it Rad No Fighting Blood. ^'Pauline couldn't establish her claim tc be a Daughter of the Revolu tion."

Whether it illustrates fertility of re source of force of habit-or both there is humor .'n thc Cleveland Lead er's story of "an old man who sells newspapers in the square." He has learned from handling tho seayational sheets that in order to dis pose of his stock he must always have something "horrible" on hand; so it is "All about the horrible suicide;" "All about the horrible murder;" "AU about the horrible accident," or all about something else that is horrible day after day. One evening last autumn he stood at his accustomed place when the late "extras" were brought around. After securing a bundle he scrambled to his corner, saw a half dozen men ap proaching and cried out: "Here's your extra paper, just out; all about the horrible-horrible-" Then he stopped. He had forgotten to looked at the headlines and find out what horrible thing had happened. Hastily turning over one of the papers he caught a glimpse of the account of the Harvard-Pennsylvania football game. The troubled looked faded from his face, a glad light came into his eyes, and he continued: "All about the horrible football game!" Not His Brother's Keeper.
