' Visitor to tbo hospital of the old pensioners at Chelsea will perhaps have noticed In tbo colounaJo a simple me morial tablet, placed there by order of tbo Into Queen Vlctorln to record tho heroic constancy and discipline of tho officers and soldiers who lost their lives in the wreck of the transport Bir kenhead oil tho Cnpe of Good nope on Feb. 20, 1852. On Jan. 7 In tbut year, aft er erabnrking re-enforcements amount ing to fifteen officers and 470 men for the troops engaged In the Kaffir war, tbo Birkenhead loft Ireland for the capo. Ou board were also 100 women and children, tbo wives and families of soldiers, All went well till the transport reached Simon's Town, where ten officers and eighteen men were landed. Tho ship continued her course on the evening of Feb. 25. But the captain in bis anxiety for a quick pas sage unfortunately kept so closo to tho Bhoro that (luring tho night the ship got among tho rocks which line the coast About three miles off Danger point at 2 o'clock in the morning of the 20th, while all except those on watch were sleeping peacefully in their ham mocks, the ship struck with a violent shock. The bulk of tho men on board were young soldiers. Tho rush of water on the Birkenhead striking wus so great that most of the soldiers on the lower troop dock were drowned In their hnmmocks. The re mainder, with all the officers, appeared on deck, many, only partly dreBsed, and fell in as orderly and as quietly as on tho barrack square. Calling the officers round Mm, Lieutenant Colonel Seton of the Seventy-fourth Highlanders, the senior officer on board, Impressed on them the necessity for preserving or der and silence among the men. The services of the next senior, Captain Wright, Ninety-first hlghlandors, were placed at the disposal of the command er of the ship to carry out whatever orders be might consider essential. Sixty men were put on the chain pumps ou the lower after deck and tolfl orr In three reliefs. Sixty more were put on to tbo tackles of the pad dle box boats, and the remainder were brought on to the poop to ease the fore part of the ship, as she was roll ing heavily. The commander next or dered the officers' chargers to be pitch ed out of the gangway. The plunging and terrified horses were got up and cast over, five of them managing to swim ashore. The cutter was then got ready for the womeni and children, who bad been collected under tbe poop awning, and they were passed in one by one. There being room in tbe boat for ono or two more, the order was given for any trumpeter or bugler boys to l taken. A young drummer standing near was told by an officer to get Into the boat, but, drawing him self up, exclaimed that he drew man's pay and would stick by his comrades. The cutter then shoved off in charge of one of tbe ship's officers, and the women and children were safe. No sootier was she clear than the entire bow of the vessel broke off at tbo foremast, the bowsprit going up in the air toward tho foretopmast. The funnel also went over the side, carry ing away tbe starboard paddle box and boat and crushing tbe men on the tackles. The paddle box boat capsized on being lowered, and the large boat in tho center of the ship could not be got up. Tho men were then ordered on to tho poop, where they stood calmly awaiting their fate. Within a few minutes the vessel broke la two, cross wise, just abaft the engine room, and tho stern begnn rapidly to fill. In this extremity the commander called out, "Those who can swim jump overboard and make for tbe boats!" but the of ficers begged the soldiers not to, as the boat with the women and children would be swamped. They were young men in the prime of life, with all be fore them, yet no one moved, nor did any sign of terror or fear escape them. Lower and lower sank the vessel Into the deadly sea. The old transport shivered, gave a final plunge and dis appeared, carrying with her the band of heroes on deck and those working below at tho pumps. Men of all agos and ranks they were the colonel and the drummer boy, of ficers of gentle birth and men from the workshop, the plow and the mine, but all animated with the same herolo resolution, fortitude and chivalry as cool as though they had been on their parade ground, with as much courage as in action in the field. A few man aged to cling to the rigging of the mainmast, part of which remained out of water, while others got hold of float ing pieces of wood and were eventually rescued, but of fourteen "(fleers and 4.VJ men no ' fewer than nine officers and 319 inon perished, many falling prey to the uttacks of the slmrks, which Burro-nxled the ship In shoals, wnltlug for th.'ir Victims. Every wo man and child was saved. Perhaps t he greatest compliment ever paid to the memory of the brave was the order of the king of Prussia for the account of the wreck of the Birken head to bo rend on three successive parados at the bead of every regiment in his army, and It was spoken of In every school la Trussla and Germany. -London Globe.

Better cut herd's-grass before it blossoms than to let it stand until it becomes hard. If it has begun to ripen seed it 'will make poor fodder for any creature. Have the hay ropes, pulleys and all such things good and solid before you begin to take off a load. Stand out of the line of all pulleys when a fork ful is being taken off. Eight acres of good, heavy corn ought to fill a-hundred-ton silo. This ought to be grown and put into the silo for a cost of not more than $200, or $2 per ton for the silage. rrog-r arming as An industry is the title of an interesting and instruc tive article in the May issue of the Technical World iMagazine, published in Chicago. The author is W. E. Meehan, Commissioner of Fisheries for the State of Pennsylvania. One' of the most important depart ments of the farm is too often for gotten in the stress of business, and that is the woodlot. If you have one, see to it that the young trees are pro tected from the vandal axe man and the depredations of stock. A well conserved woodlot grows steadily into money while we sleep. When you are mopping your face in the harvest sun, consider the good wife in the super-heated kitchen bend ing over a hot stove in the prepara tion of .food, and ask yourself if you have provided her with satisfactory help. Full barns will bring one little satisfaction if the wife is broken down at the end of the harvest. A neighbor of ours who reads the Farm Journal asks us to tell Our Folks how he prevented his hay molding in the bottom of an eighteen-1 foot mow. Before placing any hay in the mow, he took some inch boards, six inches 'wide, making boxes with three sides. He laid these boxes in strings across the mow floor, upside down, similar to an old-fashioned wooden drain. Then he filled the mow full of hay to the roof, and when he removed it from the mow this spring not a straw of it was moldy. Other seasons he had much hay dam aged in this mow from lack of ventila tion. He tells me that an uncle of his also pursued this course in his large barn mows which were tightly floored with concrete, and fwas able to use .his hay out to the last straw. Just a little ventilation seems to go great way in saving hay in large barn mows. Farm Journal. FINANCIAL J. Q. A- BOWLBY, President O. I. PETERSON, Vice-President FRANK PATTON, Casbler J. W.
