The little fairy of whom I ant going to tell you was named Jack, and he carried carried about, through all the long; dark hours, a tiny lantern. During the day he must have slept very soundly,—for he was up o' nights until very late,—but in such snug places that no mortal could ever discover him. At night, though, it was easy enough to see what he looked like. At least so thought Annabel, who, her grandfather said, had eyes thatsaw what no others ever could see. She declared that Jack was just about five inches high, that he wore a peaked hat, and that the light of his lantern, as it danced over the big marsh near her grandfather's house, was like the blue flame of a candle. Grandfather had several times warned the little girl when she came to visit him never to have anything to do with Jack. He said that if Jack was a fairy, as she insisted, he was certainly a very naughty one, who would like nothing better than to have people follow him into marshy lands where they would be sure to be stuck fast in the mud; then he would laugh at their plight, but never offer to help. But Annabel, although she promised ld that she wounever even try to go near the little blue dancing light, in- sisted that Jack was a good- fairy, and some day, she said, they would find out that she was right. One night when Annabel was stay- ing at grandfather's, the lights burn- ed more brightly even than usual. In- deed, it was soon seen that there were two of them, and then three.

FORD & 1eLEOD, Clinton "Jack has borrowed another lantern or two," said Annabel. "He does well to make the most of his time," replied grandfathero,"for, to -morrow men ate coming to begin the work of draining the marsh, and that will be the last of Mr. Jack and his lantern." • And, sure enough, the next time that Annabel went to stay with grand- father, and at night looked out of the window, there was no light to be seen flitting about anywhere; for the bog was now hard and dry. "It's just as I told you, Annabel," said grandfather the next morning. "That bad fairy has gone away for- ever." Annabel's curls nodded, but her lips added, "Only, grandfather, he was a good fairy. Yeti -see, he knew that in the dark people might into the bog and get almost drowned. So night after night Jack stayed there, waving his little lantern to warn thein away. " I often used to think how sleepy he must have been." - Grandfather smiled. "That's my dear little girl," he said, laying his hand on her curls, "who is going to ' find all the good she can in everyone, even in a But Annabel, her mind still on the fairy, said, "And I'm sure, if you go to another bog, you'll end Jack there with his same little lantern, warning • everyone to keep away. Indeed, in- deed, grandfather, he was a very good fairy, and r shall always try to re- member him." EXPLODING A MYTH. Revelations at 'Petrograd Cheapen Hindenburg's Vaunted Victories. The much -talked -of "Hindenburg's strategy" has proven to be a myth. In fact, the veriest novice in military af- fairs could have accomplished his greatest victory, which up till now has been referred to as the "miracle of the Massurilen Lakes," in which 100,000 Russians were captured. This highly - vaunted victory looks cheap in the light of the astounding revelations from Petrograd, which show that Ger- man spies •had obtained complete copies of all the plans for the Russian invasion of East Prussia, The testi- mony at the trial of Gen. Soulchoinlin- off also showed that the Ministers and officials of the old Russian Govern- ment were biought up in wholesale fashion, and consequently no great military skill, far less genius, was re- quired to achieve a victory over an army fighting under such conditions. The wonder is still that the old Rus- sia was able to put up as good a de- fence as it actually did, particularly so when it is considered that the en- tire army had been sold out by the Russian Chief of Staff. The revela- tions at Petrograd are only another proof of Germany's faVorite system of warfare—that of spies and secretly - placed bombs, A Haig 'Story. Here is a story brought back from the front about Sir Douglas Haig, Sir Douglas was, some few weeks ago, in a great hurry to get to a cOr- tain place.

THE PENNILESS PREMIER. • Grimsby Constables Collected Shilling For Lloyd George. A really good joke is cheap at a signing, especially when it elicits a slyly humorous letter from a Prime Minister. Grimsby special constables having read in the newspapers how Mr. Lloyd George boarded a tramway car In Lon- don and found himself penniless, so that he could not pay Ilia fare, sent him Is. postal order saying that they "were shocked to find you were penni- less" The constables were rewarded by the following acknowledgment from 10 Downing Street :— Dear Sir,—Mr. Lloyd George wishes me to thank you for your letter of August 21, and to ask you to be good enough to convey to Section 13 of. the Grimsby Special Constabulary his best thanks and appreciation to them for so generously coming to his aseist- anal It is in keeping with the highest tra- ditions of the Special Constabulary to be so prompt to render aid to one in distress. • 140W DIAMOND CUTS GLASS. Forces Particles Apart Forming Con- tinuous Cracic Along Pane, . It has been ascertained by a series of experiments that a diamond does not cut the glass file -fashion, but it forces the particles allot, so that a continuous crack is formed along the line of the intended cut. The crack once begun, very small force is ne- cessary to carry it through the glass, and thus the piece is easily broken off. The superficial crack or cut need not be deep; a depth, according to fine measarements, of a 200111 part of one inch is quite sufficient to accomplish the purpose, so that the application of much force in using the diamond only wears out the gem without doing tho work any better.

It is easy to understand why his troops have confidence,in Cadorna, and why the Italian people should im- plicitly trust him. He has a fine per- sonality, to begin with, a big, genial man with a sense of humor whom nothing discanceets. He has also a crisp, decided way of speaking. For inseance, last 8nring, When there was a good deal of talk about the possibility of a renewed Austrian_ offensive through the Trentino, Ca- dorna remarked: "Never worry about their coming or not corning. Inave got ready as though they were to come, and a lot, of them, tome That's all." They did not corneebecause, probably, they kaew better than, the croakers the preparations Cadorna had made for their reception. In the first days of 'the war, when the great military station at Udine was to be built, and the city was tee- ing raided by aeroplanes almost every day, it was most desirable that the work should be eareied -on' day and night on a railroad. Yet to illumine the railroad, at night would be to in- vite more hostile attacke. It was no doubt a perplexing problem. When it was finally carried to Cadorna he merely asked if the night shifts were necessary. When told that they were, he mere asked, "Well?" Thus the or- der was given in a word. • There is no important general liv- ing whom the ordinary intelligent civilian would find himself in closer touch with than Cadorna if the two were talking of military matters. Though a technician of the highest 'Ale-nc..4•5ii, • GEN. C-ADOQNA gifts, the author of standard text- books and the like, Oedema acts on the principle that all military strategy and tactics cap be reduced to a ques- tion of common sense. There is a famous legal saying to the effect that "if it's not common sense, it's not law," and this is Cedorna's belief with regard to military operations, No pacifist living could regard with greater detestation the officer who wasted the life of a soldier than Ca- dorna. Yet to carry out necessary operations he will unhesitatingly throw a hundred thousand men into a battle. If the counterpart of the Ger- man Crowe Prince were in the Italian Army he would have been shot for his,activities about Verdun. Born in the Army. • Though Oedema's name was almost unknown outside of Italy before the war, he comes from a most distin- guished family. His grandfather was Minister to Xing Carlo Alberta, who led the movement for Italian indepen- dence, granted the constitution to his kingdom, then limited to Sardinia and Piedmont, and abdicated in favor of his son when he thought the action would help the formation of new 'tali; father was the general who, in 1860, led the Italltm advance 011 the Isonzo, which was cut short by diplo- matic interference, and the subse- quent granting of Italian lands to Austria beyond the Isonzo and the Adriatic.

The practise is not a good one, especially after the fall weather starts. If the stock has not already been elated in the houses, it should be done at once. Exposed hens never have good egg records during cold weather. finish hogs as early as possible, weighing 200 pounds when marketed. Gains on adults are expensive, and feeding them during too long a period loses money. Weaning time is the critical stage in A bull is half the herd, if he is a purebred capable of. transmitting his geed qualities. Bat if he is a poor sire, he is more than half—he is near- ly all of it.. •At the Ohio station a -bull whose dam had a high official re- cord and whose grand -dam had a re- cord of large production, sired daugh- ters which showed an average :gain over their dams of 1,902 pounds of milk and sixty pounde' of fat the first year. Their average yearly differ- ence was more than 1,100 pounds of milk. Another sire selected from one of. the best herds in the state showed a decrease of 687 pounds of milk and thirty-nine pounds of fat. His sire and dam had no official records. Bitterness in cream and milk is a frequent trouble during fall and win- ter months. If milk is bitter when it is drawn, the trouble Is with the cow or her feed. Very often cows give bitter milk toward the close of their lactation period. The old dry weeds of winter pasture also give rise to a bitter flavor in milk. The remedy in this case is to keep the cow from such pastures.

LONG-LIVED SEEDS Some • Have Germinated After a Century Has Gone By There are few questions more hotly argued by gardeners than the life of seeds. Some people are prepared to swear that wheat and pea seeds taken from mummy cases thousands of years old have germinated, On the other hand, scientific farmers will assure you that the seed of wheat loses its life within, at most, ten years, A good deal of evidence undoubted- ly exists to support the theory that many seeds are exceedingly, long-lived. Some years ago a grass lawn at' Culm- stock, in Devonshire, was broken up and turned into a risery. The follow- ing spring the whole of the ground was covered with most exquisite pansies! This lawn had not been dis- turbed for fully a century, and no pansy seedhad been sown anywhere near. In any case, the pansies that have come up did not resemble those in any neighboring garden. The only possible solution seems to be that the seed had lain buried in the ground, awaiting its chance to germinate. The longest known survival of any seed is that of a certain Egyptian lily. A dried seed -pot „kept in the South Kensington Museum contained seed which was tested and found to grow after a period of ninety-five years, Melon seed has grown after being kept for forty years. Turnips will last eight or ten years. It is assert- ed that haricot beans have germinated after lying by for a century, A properly installed lightning rod system rarely fails to protect the property rodd,c1.
