Tin* Thankless Beggar. • ole ev ting anecdote is relat el ;lie ‘ utgend Freund©” of King Alplionso X. surnamed “The Wise,” \v*>q succeeded to tiio throne of Leon and Castillein 1252. On learning that his pages neglect e 1 to ask the divine blessing be fore partaking of their daily meals, lie was deeply grieved and sought diligently to point out to them the evil of this omission. At length lie su receded in finding a plan. He invited the pages of his court to dine with him. A bountiful re past was spread, and when they were al' Assembled around the ta bic the king gave a signal that all was in readiness for them to be gin. They all enjoyed the rich feast, but net one remembered to ask God's blessing on his food juit then, unexpectedly to tbe thoughtless guests, entered a poor, ragged beggar, who unceremoui stuftly seated himself at Hie royal table and drank undisturbed, to his heart’s content. Surprise and astonishment were depicted on ev ery countenance. The pages looked first at the king, then gazed upon the auda cious intruder, expecting momen tarily that his majesty would give orders to have him removed from the table. Alphons®, however, kpt silence; while the beggar, uaabashed by the presence of roy alty, ate all he desired. When his hunger and thirst were appeased he rose without a word et thanks, departed from the palace. ‘•What a despicable, mean fellow!” cried (he boys. Calmly the good king rose, and, with much earnest ness, “Boys, bolder and more audacious than this beggar have you all been. Every day you sit down to a table supplied by the bounty of your Heavenly Father, yet you ask not his blessing, and leave it without express : ng to him your gratitude. Yes each and all of you should be heartily ashamed of your coiiduft, which was far worse than the poor beggar’s.” —[The Little Christian.

This is par ticularly pressed on mothers who have young babies.” “And for the infornation of those who have none,” added the rec’or in geDtle, kindly tones, and who being deaf had not heard what had been previously said—“and for the infer matien ot those who have none, I any B’ateif wished they can beobtaiaed on application in the vestry imtnediatelv after service today.

To this tenden cy probably is to be attributed toe rarity of a combination of light hair with dark eyes. Several observers have asserted that tha American peo ple, who are pre eminently a mixed race, are becoming a dark-haired and blue eyed Dation, and if thin be true, sneh development must be owing to the working of this law. However, the blonde is a very pretty type. Judge—"lt would be more respect ful to this Court, sir, if you would keep your hands out of your pockets. Why do you do so, sir?” Defendant —‘ Just for the novelty of the thing, your Honor.’' “Novelty!

Less than six bottles of this remedy cured me.” Mrs. Joseph Aitkin, of Holyoke, Mass., was for a long time a severe suf ferer from Dyspepsia, trying, in vain, all the usual remedies. At last she began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and only three bottles restored lier to perfect health. “ I have gone through terrible suffer ing from Dyspepsia and Indigestion,” writes 0. J.

Plow Deep.--Every man who owes land owns to uie center of ihe earth, and tho ambitious farmer should seek first to deepen his investment before he tries to own all the land that joins him. Manuring near the sniface is doubtless the correct thing, and it is a wise man who iecoftuizss the tolly of turning up at one lima several inches of tho cold, inert subsoil, when there is no syailabie mannte to make it fer j tile. But this folly is wisdom, comnar led with the practice that year after j year skims the surface of many aeres with the application of little manure, and reaping smaller crops. One acre eight inches deep is worth as much as two acres four inches deep at, half the labor of cultivation, half the cost of fencing and half .the amount of tax. A gradual deeepeniug of tho plow fur row, a gradual increase of the manure applied and clean culture aro bundled fold better than a doubling of the area jof the farm with the old styla of shal low plowing, scant manuring and care* i less cultivation. 0.
