BATTLE OF NAVARIN0. Sorr.e E:xiting Incidents of This Fierce Naval Engagement. in the year 1827 the British adini 121, Omanney. :ook part in the battle of Navarino. in which the English, French and Russian ships ente:ed the harbor of Navarino. in Greece, and -annihilated the Turkish and Egyptian -vessels, which were unable to leave .theiT moorings. The battle lasted four .lou7s. Admiral Omanney tells this -,tf Sir Edward Codrington. t : admi sal in command: "His ese s from -deat-,, were marvelous. 0 that he might .command a good view of the battle he stood on the poop of the Asia, the most exposed part of the ship. He was talking with the master ,when a shot came and killed the lat Zer at his side. A shot killed an officer of the marines who was on the <quarter deck just below the poop. 'The admiral left the poop only once to go forward to talk to the boat :sin, and while talking to him the Ioatswain also was killed at his side. "A bullet went through his hat, in which it made two holes, and an other bullet went through his loose coat sleeve. Another bullet smashed his gold watch. When on the poop ]he stooped his head under a rolled :awning, and while bent like that a .shot passed through the awning's -ods. At another time he had just -turned from a spot on the poop when *the place where he had been standing -was covered with wreckage from aloft, which would have crushed and bnided him. And yet throughout the Pbattle, when men were being slain and wounded everywhere around him, Codrington escaped uninjured." Other incidents of the same battle: "An Irishman seized a musket, and, -with a roar of 'Make way, there!' he swept a road through the Turks by :swinging his weapon from side to side -with crushing force. One of my fel ilow midshipmen, named Hicks, was :among the boarders, many of whom 'had forgotten to take their pistols. ~Hicks shouted to the first lieutenant, 'Give them cold shot, sir!' And the boardrs did, for they picked up the cold shot which was lying about -ready for the guns and hurled it down -mpon the 'Turks." ~The Legend of theTwo Sacks." An ancient legend describes an old -snan traveling from place to 'place -with a sack hanging behind his back and another in front of him. In the one behind him he tossed all the kind 'deeds of his friends, which were soon eqiie hidden from view and forgotten. In fbe one hanging around his neck, tunder his chin, ,he threw all the sins 'wIiic'h his acquaintances committed; :and these he was in the habit of turn ing ,o.e and looking at as he walked aIi'ng day .by day, which necessarily 'ne diay, te his surprise, he met a snn ,ilso swaring two sacks. "What:have you here?" he asked. "Whi any good dleeds," replHed mumber :two. "I keep them all' l fare ime, -and take them out and ar tihem-'oft-en." -"Wh-.t is in the other big sack? It ~seems weighty.' "Merely my little mistakes. I al 'ways -eep them in the sack hanging ;over my back." Presenltly the two travelers were ~joined by a third, who strange to say, also carried two sacks, one under his chin and one on his back. "Let us see the contents of your sacks," said the first two- travelers. -"With all my heart," quoth the :-stranger, "for I have a goodly assort rnent, and I like to show them. This -sack," said he. pointing to the one 'hangling in front of him, "is full- of -.the good deeds of others." "'Yo-ur sack looks heavy; it must be very il," observed the old man. --There you are mistaken." replied the stranger; "they are big, but not heavy. The weight is only such as sails are to a ship. Far fromn being a burden, it helps me onward." "'Well, your sack behind can be of little use to you," said number twvo, "'for it appears to be empty. And I :see it has a great hole in the bottom of it." "I did that on purpose," said the stranger. "for all the evil I hear of people I pat in there, and it falls through and is lost. So, you see, I hIave no weight to .drag me back OFFICE OF FAFMI HEADQUI Begin now to sow Pe food at home. Be in4 Improve your farms.

Live Stock a Time And Setting Hens. f Harper's Weekly. d An enterprising salesman from one of the large cities went to a certain b rural community and endeavored to IF sell an incubator to a farmer. His argument did not make zny impres- s sion upon the agriculturist. Finally t as a clincher in favor of his up-to-date improvement he exclaimed: a "Look at the time it will save!" t The farmer squirted a mouthful of s tobacco juice on the ground before replying, and then said, with provok ing calmness: "Oh, what's time to a settin' hen?" That set9ed the question. No in cubator was sold. Pointed Paragraphs. * Chicago News. Telephones have saved the gossip peddlers many a step.
