Oood Tima of Year to Bid the Ground of Brush and Second-Growth Stuff. This Is s good time of the year tc clear up any parts of the farm which may have grown up to brush or sec-ond-growth stuff. We hart been working tor a number of yean on such a piece of land on the back tnd of onr farm, writes a correspondent of the Karmers' Review This once had been all cut off clean and a piece of wheat-, grown there. But after that It had been permitted to grow up small sap lings, some of them fire or six Inches In diameter. Along In the fall we went at It. when other work did not press, and cut a strip of this Umber off. The largest saplings were trimmed up for wood, the brush piled neatly and burned later when thoroughly seasoned. We cut the brush off close to the earth, and have now the satisfaction of knowing that when chopped at this season of the year. HtUe If any sprouts will come-up to trouble us. The walte clover came In thickly where we rut the brush off. and today we have a number of acres of asplendld pasture, where s lltUe while before we had only a tangle of brush, briers and small trees, from which we realized little or nothing In the way of profit. Most farmers have sucb-plares. They do hot yield a tingle cent of ▼sine In their present condition, but might be made to bring In a handsome revenue If treated as • I have suggested. We have learned 'hat fall Is the best time to cut such *- piece of brush. It cut later In winter the sprouts will almost sorely spring up to trouble you and compel you In the course at a few years to do the work all over again. I do not think the old rule of doing these things In the old of the moon in August amounts to anything. The moon has no part In that sort of business; but I do think that when the sap la up In the top and the branches are well matured, the brush Is far more apt to die than when cut al any other season of the year.

Bemslna of Church and Vert la South Carolina Shew Loeattoa of Tint Enterprise Undertaken by Vew Englanders. Boston.—Overgrown with moaa and rank weeds, and overhung with live oaks bearing the Spanish moaa characteristic of the south Atlantic coast, the ruins of e church and a fort mark the spot where the first missionary enterprise undertaken by New England. outside her own borders, was located. The ruins are In the county of Dorchester, 8. C. so named for the small company of churchmen wbo sailed from Boston December S. 1685. and founded a colony In the wilderneat, near Charleston. How the little body of sealous Massachusetts people went from the north, sailed up the Ashley river and hewed their homes out of the unbroken forest. beset continually by fears of famine and the Indians, forma an exceedingly Interesting chapter In the history of the country. William Pratt was the son of Thomas Pratt, of Weymouth, Maaa In 1680 he married Elizabeth Baker, of Dorchester, and about the middle of April. 1680. became a member of the church there. When, five y later, an expedition was organized to cany the Gospel to South Carolina. Hr. Pratt Joined It and took a promlsnt part The Charleston people treated the newcomer from the Massachusetts bay colony with the utmost consideration and helped them materially to found their little church and state. Not far from the first church founded by the men under the leadership oC Elder Pratt, and built by the same sturdy class of men. wss built the Stas' Goose Creek meeting hfltSe.

London.—Ob her wild and pletnreeqee Island kingdom of Arran, In the Firth of Clyde. Indy Mary Douglaa-HamU-tom. the richest heiress la the Called Kingdom, has just celebrated her coming of age. Arran, which is 60 milas la circumference and contains 6.000 Inhabitants, all of whom are her tenants, yields her In rent *86.000 s year. She has another large estate In Suffolk, England, which brings her *40,000 s year. The tuo properties cover 107.000 acres, and their combined rent rolls amount to 1125.000 annually. From Invwtmenta btld In (rust tor her she receives an other *40.000 a year, which makes ker annual Income Jnat *6,000 short of s round *200.000. Nor Is this the fall measure of her wealth. Her father, the twelfth duke of Hamilton, who died ten years ago, left her a big fortune In cash which during the nine yean of her mlnourlty has swelled to *1.000.000. And the good fairies who presided at her birth added other precious gifts. She U good looking, blessed with vigorous health and endowed with the tempera-

ment which lends Itself most to th joyment of life in the fullest mease Had the been born a boy she v now be two dnkea, two earls, three

In general society. She is devoted to

sport, and riding, hunting, shooting, fishing find other country pursuits con-

stitute her chief amusements. She is s

superb kuretiwomsr and one of the few women watav of the hounds In the klngdotn. She is an excellent shot, too.
