H. Rowe, on February 27th 1903. He wis converted and j tined tlie| Methodist church about the year 1892; but-as it is too often the CBBC-he afterward wandered od' iuto tlie ways of sin But n few day? bet?re he was taken, while talking willi him, he said to thc writer that bo had made up Iiis j mind fully lo lead a different life, not wi'hstaudiug he found it very hard lo.| exercise tho necessary failli iu the promise of God. While grappling with the grim monster death, and in his Inst agonies, he seemed to lose con sciousness, yet only a short time before while he was apparently perfectly con scious, he talked very freely lo those | attending him, seeming to loose sight] of his sufferings while looking out iu to the future, he was ablo to rejoice that all was well with him. Andi when asked if lhere was anything hoi wanted, answered "No, nothing in I Ll)is world;" lie only wanted to go and bc willi the Lord and join the loved ones in heaven.

" STAGECOACH DAYS. - v - " Story of ii Trip From Portsmouth to London lu 1780, There are men and women-and they are not always tho old-who deplore tho bren thiess paco of the ago. In Btngecouch days, they tell us, Ufo wtos a different thing. People journeyed through the years leisurely then; ex istence hud a davor. A century ago a journey meant fellowship and merry adventures and a comfortable enjoy ment of the beauties of thc landscape. All this may bo so, but a traveler" who made the Journey from Ports mouth to London lu 1780 shows that even stagecoach days had their shad ows. "The getting up on the coach alone was at tho'risk of ouo's life," ho wrote, "and when I was up I had nothing to hold on to except a little bundle ut the side. The moment wc set off I thought I saw certain death before me. The machine rolled with tremendous rapid ity over the stones and every minute seemed to fly In the air, so that it ap peared to mu a completo miracle that we stuck to tho coach at ntl. "This continual fear of death nt last became insupportable to mo, and I carefully crept along the top of the coach aud ensconced myself in thc basket behind. "On a sudden the coach proceeded nt a rapid rate down a hill. All tho boxes, iron nailed und copper fastened, began to dunce around me, and every moment I received such violent blows that I thought my lust hour had como. Shak en to pieces, bleeding nnd sore, I crept back to my former position. Aud lt rained incessantly, and as before wo .were covered with dust so now wo .were soaked with rain. "My neighbor every now and then fell asleep aud when in this state per petually rolled and jolted against me with tho whole weight of his body, more than once nearly poshing me from the seat to which I clung with the hist strength of despair. I looked and certainly felt like a crazy fool wheu I arrived in London." -The letter is realistic. It ls possible that twentieth century traveling, al though unromantic, has its compensa tions after all.-Youth's Companion. POULTRY POINTERS. When chickens grow very fast, it sometimes causes leg weakness. Under usual conditions a variety of food is better than any medicino that can be given. Tlie only safo way of disposing of dead fowls that have died of any con tagious disease ls to burn them. Clover contains two clements that are in demand by tho hens-nitrogen and lime. It ls rich in the elements required for the whites of eggs. Wheu roup gets into a flock, lt Inva riably leaves some allmcut behind. The fowl that has been subject to it is seldom healthy again. There is no cure for feather pulling except by more labor aud time than an ordinary flock ls worth. Tho best plan ls to get rid of tlie guilty fowls ns soon as possible. A hen seldom begins to edt eggshells until she fluds one broken or until she becomes accustomed to eating eggs thrown out into tho yard. The safest plan is always to crumble them up flue before feeding. '.Piie ?Utieinh is tied lu ? i. dtroetlen!?. priii??oiilij '.
