One of Mr.. Beecher's most harassing
difficulties in his farming operations comes
of the close resemblance Of different sorts
OF seeds and plants to each other. Two
years ago. his far-sightedness warned
him that there was going 10 be great
scarcity of water-melons, and therefore
he put in a crop of twenty y-seyen acres OF
that fruit But when they turned out TO
be pumpkins. loss was the conSe-
quence. Sometimes portion OF his crop
goes into the ground the most promising
sweet potatoes, and dcomes up the Internal
ist carrots-though never have heard
him express it just in that way. When
he bought his farm, he found one egg in
every mems nest on the place. He said
that here was just the reason why so many
farmers failed-they scattered their forces
too much-conccntration was the idea.
So he gathered those eggs together and
put them all under one experienced old
hen. That hen roasted over that contract
night and day for eleven weeks, ,und sr the
anxious personal supervision of Mr.. Beech
or himself, but she could not phase"
these eggs. Why' Because they were

Mark Train on Mr.. Beecher.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's pri-
vate habits are the subject OF Mark
Twan's latest contribution 10 the Buffalo
Express. The whole article is extremely
funny, but that portion which relates 20
Mr.. Beecher's farming experience Is III
the humorist's most eStravagant vein and
quite equal to his best effort. 1t is as
follows
..Mr. Beecher's farm consists of thirty
six acres, and Is carried on on strict sci
cntitic principles. He never puts in any
part of crop without consulting his
book He ploughs and reaps and digs
and sows according to the best authori-
tes-and the authorities cost more than
the farming implements do. As soon rs
the library is complete, the farm will be-
gin to be Il profitable investment. But
book farming has its drawbacks. Upon
one occasion, when it seemed morally
certain that the hay ought to be cn,, the
hay book coul not be iound-and before
it was found it was too late and the hay
was all spoiled.
Mr.. Beecher raises some of the finest
crops of wheat in the country, but the un-
favorable difference between the cost Of
producing it and its market value alter it
is produced has interfered considerably
with its success as commercial enter
prise.
His special weakness is hogs. however.
He considers hogs the best game farm
produces. He buys the original pig for
dollar and half, and feeds him forty
dollars worth of corn, and sells him for
about nine dollars This is the only crop

That was y horrible death of the Rev.
Julius Elliott in Switzerland He was an
admirable climber, and to keep himself
in condition he started one morning to as
cend the Shreikhorn, one OF the most for
midabe among the Swiss peaks. Elliott
had without difficulty got near to the top
before he made fatal slip. In some
places the ascent is rendered difficult by
loose ice, which atforCs so treacherous
foothold as to imperil the safety even OF
dcxterous climbers. Elliott, however,
was not overcome by that danger 1t was
his very skill as mountaineer that led to
his death. He was what is called good
.rock-man," a capital leaper from point
TO point, with true eye and sure foot.
Delghting, as men do, in the exercise OF
his skill, he made unnecessary, as it prov
ed. fatal spring. His foot slipped; des-
pite his own efforts and those OF his guides
to stop himself, he shot down the face of
the Shrcikhorn; and 10 shoot down that
peak is to go with the certainty OF tate to
a fearful death Elliott had neglected the
usual precaution of tying himself to bis
guide by means of rope, because, 1t Is
said, he shrank from imperilling any other
life beside his own.

Fishing tcith Beardtess Hooks.
A STORY FOR BOYS.

Some months ago, business led me to
an out-oi.the-way place, where, near by n
fall of water, there lived two boys, one
eight and the other ten. They were
bright eyed, inquisitive little chaps, but
generally without either hat or shoes, and
often with pants and jacket sadly rent.
Busted rs was in the repairs of an old
mill. these boys were handy to send on
errands, bring tools, look after my horse
turned out to bait in the road, and do
numberless little things to save the steps
of those who were older.
One day, on reaching the mill, saw
the olde,. boy standing upon arock, part
ly hidden by the foliage Of the surround
ing trees, fishing, and as often rs he felt
n nibble he would jerk his line rs spite
fully out of the water, as though he bore
the little fish some terrible grudge, and
wanted to pay it by twitching heir heads
off. asked him why he did so, and
explained rs well aS was able the best
modes of taking such fish rs made the
little brook their homes.
After hearing me patiently and respect
fully he said: Master, you fish with
hook that has got n beard on it. and when
YOU hook one he stays. My hook ha'nt

liked the talk OF that boy. He did
not grumble about his old hook. but did
the best he could with what he had to do
with and day after day, a. | saw him
doing it, and taking TO his mother the re-
ward OF his toll which had cost him so
much care and thought aud skill, | knew
he Was LAYING with Lhat adler rod in his
hands the foundations OF grand chtrac-

gan. He iished while with 4 bcarlless
hook. His father was very poor. and he
had scarcely any books, and what he had
he was obliged to read by the dim light OF
pine knots which his own forethought had
gathered but he is now one of the able.i
writers, as well as one Of the most influ-
ential men in America.
And so with John Jacob Astor. He
had no money, or comparatively none,
when he came to this country. but he
wanted to trade. and So he carried his
little bundle OF goods around under his
arm or in his hands. He fished with a
bcarrlless hook. Atterward hc bought
furs and carried them on his back hum
drcds of miles To market, and when he
died he had grown from absolute poverty
TO be the richest man II the country.
There is scarcely great or good man
