THE NAMELESS HEIR.
There are countless heroes who live
and die,
Of whom we have never heard;
For the great, big, brawling world
goes by,
With hardly a look or word ;
And one of the bravest and best of all,
Of whom Jhe list can- boast,
Is the man who falls on duty's call.
The man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with man
hood's bloom
And the pathway of life looks bright.
He is brought in a moment to face the
gloom
Surrounding the final night,
He buoyantly sails o'er a sunlit sea
, And is dashed on an unseen coast
, Till the ship goes down at the helm
stands he
i The man who dies at his post
, Who follows the glorious tide of war
And falls in the midst of fight,
He knows that honor will hover o'er
And cover his name with liaht-
But he who passes unsung, unknown,
He hears no applauding host;
He goes in the dark to his fate, alone,
The man who dies at his post.
Who- bears with disease while death
draws near.
Who faces his fate each day.
Yet strives to comfort and helD and
cheer
His comrades along the way,
Who follows his work while he yet
' may do,
And smiles when he suffers most.
It seems to me is a hero true
The man who dies at his post
There are plenty to laud and crown
with bays '
The hero who falls in (strife,
But few who offer a word of praise
To the crownless hero of life.
He does his duty and makes no claim,
And to-night I propose a toast
To the silent martyr unknown to'fame,
The man who dies at his post

If one does not get comfort out

oi ais religion it is generally because
nobody else gets comfort out of it
That church is best where the
Gospel is preached in the most simple

leads the way."
Set yourself earnestly to see
what you were made to do, and then
set yourself esrnestly to do it; and the
loftier the purpose is, the more sure
you will be able to make the world
richer with every enrichment of your
self. Phillips Brooks. k
The beat proof of the divinity
of the Christian relegion is the daily

which passeth knowledge, that ye may
be filled with all the fullness of God.
Let us be only patient, patient,

PRACTICAL IRRIGATION.
A Plan For a. Forty Acre Farm-The
Location of Laterals.
Irrigation lias become a live question
In every part of the country, and many
are' on the lookout for practical Infor
mation on its various points. The lo
cation of the laterals furnishes an op
portunity for the irrigator to show his
skill. Discussing this feature in a re
cent publication, Messrs. Johnson and
Stannard make some recommendations
as follows:
It may be impossible to properly lo
cate tire main laterals at nrst, ana sup
plemental laterals and dikes may have
to De constructed, uerore me crops

nels must be fitted in and the Ground
leveled. Theoretically they should be
given such a grade as will result in a
moderate velocity for the water, but
not sufficient to wash the earth along
the sides and bottom of the ditch.
One irrigator of considerable experi
ence recommends that field laterals
should have a fall of at least ten feet
ner mile. .The laterals should h lo
cated nearly at right angles with the
direction or tne greatest slope of the
land, so that the water will flow from
rather than alonz them.
If the surface of the ground Is some
what uneven, the problem of locating
the permanent laterals becomes corre
spondingly more difficult, often render
ing the use of the engineer's level nec
essary. It mav be nossible to cover
all the ground by locating the laterals
aiong tne riages, or there may be high
points entirely surrounded by lower
ground, making it necessary to build
ditches on artificial ridges or dikes t
carry the water to them.
The Inexperienced Irrigator often con.
aiders that the ground occupied by the
laterals is waste land because it bears
no crop.. Accordingly he makes them
far apart, so that the water must flow
a long distance to Cover the surface
between anv two. Thin nannllv rpnnlta
in the overirrigation of that portion of
tne crop near the lateral in use, as the
water most be kent flowing them nntil
the entire surface to the next lateral is
irrigated. ,
- It will usually pay to do some work
in smoothing off the little irregularities
in me surrace or tne rami. Tnis may
be done with a plank scraper or drag
after the ground has been plowed. The
drag cuts away the higher points and
leaves the dirt in the hollows. This
preparation of the surface is quite im
portant, as it reduces the time and la
bor required in Irrigating. A more uni
form 'distribution of water is also ob
tained, which increases its effioiencv.
Theoretically the surface of the ground
should be a Diane surface, with 1nat
slope enough to allow the water when
delivered at the highest point to flow in
a thin, uniform sheet.
We will assume that the farm is
planted to 'such crops as are ordinarily
found in the arid region, say ten acres
of alfalfa, ten acres of grain, five acres
of potatoes, five acres of garden, five
acres of small fruits and five acres of
orchard, as shown on the plat of the
farm.
If It be assumed that there Is a fall
of four feet across the farm from north
to south and two feet from east tt
west, the water, can be made to flow
either west or south from anv nolnt.
The greatest slope of the land Is a little
soutn or southwest and this Is the di-
rection the water takes if left to Itself.
If the laterals are run south from the
main ditch, they will make an angle of
about seventy degrees with this line.
PLANK SCBAPZB.
uch an arrangement permits the water
w now away rrom rather than along
the laterals. The main ditch divides at
A, as shown In the diagram; one branch
runs south to L, while a second runs
west to D, the middle of the north line
of 'the farm, where it turns and flows
south to M. The field laterals receive
their supply of water directly

LEGEND FOR ARCTIC NIGHTS.
How Greealaadera Accoant Foi
Tbeir Long; Season of Darkness.
A member of one of the former expedi
tions to Greenland tells of a curious tra
dition of the Eskimos to account for the
long arctic night and its intense cold.
"There was a time," they say, "long
generations ago, when the sun never set
on the regions of the north and when the
strands along the sea were forever hidden
with mantles of living g-oen.
"Hence it. was that pv.:oe and plonty"
fell to the lot of this people and sorrow
was unknown among them. But one day
a strange thing came to pass. - As the
people were resting 'and feasting: among
the trees, as was their custom throughout
heir wakeful hours, a beautiful canoe, as
white as ivory, was seen drifting silently
I toward tne snore irom ine direction or
the castle where dwelt the spirit of the
winds.
'Now. when the ivorv white canoe had
floated qmte up to the shore, a great awe
fell upon the people, for there," fast asleep
among tne. ioius. oi an erni ne roo, my a
beautiful maiden, whose skin wr.s as frir
nn tho snnw flower and whoso .hair was
like a mantle of sunshine. But when the
chief had borne the maiden to the shore
and questioned her whence she came he
was troubled in nis neart, ior sne nan an
" 'I am Delfa, the daoghter of the spirit
of the winds, and I have drifted here
from yonder snow white castle in tlie
north. But I will return there no more.
Henceforth niv home shall be with vnn
and your people.'
"And immediately the spirit of the
winds arose in the north and in a terrible
voice commanded that his danghter be re
stored to him immediatelv. But when
the nennle nf the ti-ilie snuirhf nnr their
chief and counseled him to give the prin
cess into her father's hands the youth
stood mute before them.' Then, in obedi
ence to a gesture, they entered his ruined
nouse, and there on a couch lay the beau
tifiil nrinottd with ticti It n r, 1
whiter now than the snow flowers fold'
ed silently over her breast
When the spirit of the winds looked
rortn ana beheld the princess cold in
death on the desolate strand, his anger
was yet more terrible against the. kneel
ing multitude, ana ne commanded aara
ness to come upon them. And the ice
and the cold, and the darkness continued
for the ftnnee nf rnnnv ff.nra Kefnre the nf.
fended spirit would relent and suffer the
sunsnine to return tor a brief season.
