STICKING TO ONE PLAN.-Farmers get
discouraged sometimes by occasional
gluts, low prices, and ovcr-production.
Every one must expect this but il will
generally be found true that those farm
ers who expect only fair profits, who
aim to raise good crops, by taking good
care of fair supply of farm animals,
and lay out good plan and stick TO it,
year by year, through good or evil, will,
in the long run, make the most money,
over those who shift their crops with
every tide Of speculation. There is moth

about TO drive of, hailed the furniture
dealer with, "Ifyer will throw In a look

in, and this was, the last seen OF the
farmer until few days since, when an
aged farmer backed his apple cart mp 10

now occupied by sons of the former own

was great but the father, who was pres

Expense and Prollls Of Hotels.

The main outlay needed TO start a first
class hotel in New York or any large city,
il the cost OF the building itsef and its
furniture. The actual running capital
need not bo large, and the establishment
itself II il is sufficiently imposing will
be It's own advertiser. From Sl5, ,OG0 10
$40, 900 cash in hand would bc sufficient
for repairs and daily expenses, even IN
the largest hotels, as the business is al
cash, aud there are rarely any long out
standing accounts. A large capital. how
ever, in required in tho Beginning.
Every one knows the enormous cost of
Building lots on leading thronghfarcs.
while the building expenses are not Nuch
lcss expensive. ANY one Of tho leading
hotels. of New York such as the Astor.
Metropolitan. ST. Nicholas. and Fifth
Avenue are worth million dollars, land
and building inclusive as they stand,
while il is reported that $500, 600 was
laid ont on furnishing tho latter alone.
From these figures some idea may be
gained OF the amount needed TO open n
irst-class hotel. The profits upon this
capital when il is well employed are nat
urnlly very large. The annual earnings
OF the Fifth Avenue Hotel have been said
have averaged s20O, 600 since il was open
ed, while the~income OF n number Of
other hotels have exceeded 20 per cent
upon the sum invested. Among our
hotel proprictorS will be found not few
men Of great wealth. while the incomes
of tho whole body Of those engaged in
the business would probably reach very
high average.
THE NEXT CoMET. .-Enck's comet is
now on its way towards the perihelion,
which il will reach in January next
The comet has been teloscopically visible
for some time, but il is not an object of
special interest 10 those whose vision is
unnided by instruments. II has o very
short poriod-only three years and n
quarter. The least distance from the
sun is 81, 000, 600 of miles, or about the
average distance Of Mercury. The
greatest distance is sS7, 900, 600 of miles,
or more than four times that Of the earth.
This comet is principally of interest be-
cause its period of revolution has di-
minished 10 the extent OF about three
days in the past eighty years, fact
which is generally accepted ns furnish.
ing the best proof Of the theory that the
regions of space arc filed by material
" ether capable of retarding the mo-
ton of the bodies composing the solar
system. OF course this resisting medium
would produce annual effect upon the
comet Of few tonsi in weight, that would
not be experienced by our earth in the
course Of thousands Of ages. But the
result, though long deferred, is none the
less nevitable--oarth. planets and com
cts will be eventually precipitated into
the sun.
