The Great Farmer of the World.

A Sacramento paper publishes the
following respecting the farming opera
tions of man whom it denominates
"the largest farmer in the world, which,
considering that he "runs" his farm of
so, 600 acres himself, personally superin-
tending it all, the appellation is cor
rect:
The great farmer of the world, Dr.
Hugh J. Glenn, of Jacinto, Colusa Co.. =,
California, has raised and harvested the
past season, on his own farm, 600, 900
bushels of wheat. This would load
eighteen 1000 ton ships, or 300 canal
boats. All this wheat he has now in his
own warehouses, ready for shipment
when the water in the Sacramento river
rises sufficiently. The doctor pays $780,
600 freight to put his wheat in the San
Francisco market. The doctor is a won
der to the agricultural world and to
himself. He runs ninety gang plows
and whole county's population in the
harvest field, with a dozen thrashers.
His farming is not confined to wheat
alone. He markets $780,, 900 worth of
stock each year. DR.. Glenn is a practical
farmer and manages all his immense
business himself, He can mend a trace
and make a key to an ox-bow with his
iacllknife, just as easy as drawing his
check for 100000, which he can do
every dayin the week. Dr. Glenn has only
experienced one surprise during the
year, and that was when friend inform
ed him that q panic had entered the
land. Glenn was born in Augusta Co.,
Virginia.
This is q remarkable case of farming
enterprise, and is enough to make the
ordinary granger open his eyes in
amazement. DR.. Glenn, though born in
Virginia, came to Missouri, when quite
young, with his father, Mr.. George
Glenn, who is still resident of Monroe
Co. He received good collegiate edu-
cation and when near the age of maturity
studied medicine. Just about the time
he received his diploma the Mexican
war broke out and he enlisted in the
Monroe company which accompanied
Doniphan's expedition through New
Mexico, Chihuahua, ETC., returning
when the war was done. When the
California excitement came on in the
winter of 1889 he Immediately set
about organizing an expedition across
the plains to the land of gold. This was
successfully landed, and after mining
for some time with great success (every
time he struck his pick he brought out
COLOR, the doctor went into speculation
in live stock, bought ranch and ran it
with great profit He added immense
tracts of land to his original ranch, and
becameE'what he now is, the greatest
farmer IN the world. Dr. Glenn is about
forty eight years old of small stature,
being about five feet seven inches in
height, with a tough and wiry body,
",'Ivsn h"iD "r.l blue ewes, ..nu Is POS
sessed of an energy that no obstacle can
surmount. He knows no such word as
fail.
If the doctor, however, has a weak
ness it is for draw poker. He bets with
the same voluminous impetuosity that
he does everything else. He has been
known to stand "pat" without pair
and raise" $4,000. On several occa-
sions he has lost immensely.

Habits of Childhood.

1t is as important that correct habits
with respect to sleep and air be formed
in children as that their diet shall be
properly regulated. For the first three
or four weeks of its life the infant sleeps
nearly all the time, waking only to sat
isfy the demands of hunger. Even so
early as this in the childs life, its pc
riods of waking may be so arranged that
they shall come in the daytime and the
whole of the night be given to sleep.
The health of the mother no less than
that Of the child requires this. There
are intelligent and judicious mothers
who so train their infants that during the
first year of their lives they are invaria-
bly, asleep between six at night and six
in the morning, This gives the mother
twelve hours of Jlnbroken rest from the
care of her child. No mother or other
person who is nervous, irritable and
worn can soothe and quiet a worrying
baby. Ten chances in eleven a good
natrred baby will be made cross by the
unpleasant personal magnetism of a sick
or nervous attendant. SO that the high
est health of the child requires that she
who takes care of it shall be cheerful,
buoyant, exuberant, and unless she has
abundant sleep and recreation this is i'm
possible. In youth third part of the
twenty-four hours is spent III sleep, and
in many instances more than this. Itr
quires longer to "knit up the raveled
web of care in some children than in
others (the same is true of grown peo-
ple), and those whose habits in respect
to diet and exercise are normal should be
permitted to sleep as long as they will.
The habit of early rising is very valuable
and important, and should be formed by
requiring the child to go to bed so early
that he will awake early without being
called. This is of Importance in another
respect not often mentioned-the eyes
of those who go to bed early are not in,
jured by exposure to artificial light
which is most baneful to both children
and grown people when they are very
sleepy.
Long and sound sleepers, as rule, at
tain the greatest longevity, and the rea
son is obvious. In sleep the brain.<anG
nerve centers recover what they have
lost during the activities of the day, anG
accumulate force to be again expended
If the drafts of each day are honored al
night at the bank of sleep, bankruptcy
will be long in coming.

The Handkerchief.

A young man called on gentleman ac-
quaintance, whom he expected to find
alone, but was ushered into the pres
ence of five or six ladies. Under or
dinary circumstances, this unexpected
array of beauty would not have awed
or perplexed him, but just at the time
he Glanced to be laboring under huge
chew of tobacco. AS the Juice of the
vile plant filled his mouth, he glanced
around i'll search of spittoon. No such
article was visible. He grew warm, and
questions addressed to himself he could
only answer with nod or a shake of
his head. Just as the tobacco began to
steal out of the corners of his overbur-
dened mouth, he bethought him of his
handkerchief. Hastily drawing it from
his pocket, he raised the other hand and
pointed toward the window. While the
ladies were looking in that direction,
trying to ascertain what had attracted
his attention, he quickly squirted the
load of tobacco in his handkerchief,
folded it up, and placed it in his pocket
Thus relieved from the cause of his en-
barassment, and feeling that his strange
conduct had excited the surprise of the
party, he exerted all his powers Of mind
and manner to remove whatever I'M
favorable impression he had created.
He chatted and laughed, told stories,
perpetrated puns, and was 50 agreeable
that the ladies' wished he could be with
them always. His previous singular de-
meanor was forgotten, and as jibe and
jest leaped from his lips each fair lis
tener inwardly wished that "Heaven
had made her such a man." He told q
joke on himself, and it was a good one.
They all laughed loud and long, and he
as loud and long as any of them. He
laughed until the tears came into his
eyes, and he pulled forth the handker-
chief and wiped them away.
That handkerchief
That tobacco-laden handkerchief.
In moment of forgetfulness hewiped
away the tears Of JOY with that reeking
handkerchief
He has broken blood-vessel !" the
startled women cried, as swift-winged
with fear. they flew for assistance. When
they returned, their entertainer was
gone. He is still gone, and anxious
friends are dragging the river for his
body, as he was last seen flying in that

Accommodation for Visitors to the Cen
tennial.

Director General Gashorn, in his let
ter to the Centennial Committee, says:
1t is estimated that from 6,000 to 10000
nonresident commissioners, exhibitors
and employees will require lodging for
period of seven months in Philadelphia
during the exhibition, and that there
will be an average of 10000 visitors in
the city daily, for whom comfortable,
cheap and convenient quarters must be
provided. What ability the existing
hotels in this city have for accommo-
dating so great a number I am not ad-
vised, but rs so much of the success of
the exhibition will depend on the in
ducements that may be offered to the
public in this behalf cannot too urgent
ly call the attention of the committees
and citizens of Philadelphia to the i'm
portance of considering this subject
without delay, with the view of organ
izing a system of hotel accommodations
that will be sufficient for all reasonable
demands. The official announcement
that ample provision under proper regu-
lations has been made will greatly in
crease interest in the exhibition at home
and abroad. Transportation will be re-
quired for from 40, 900 to $4,000 persons
daily to and from the park, and on ex-
traordinary occasions double these num-
bers may have to be provided. At the
Paris exhibition in 1867 there was an
average of 10000 daily admissions, and
on one occasion the number reached
173, 1923. 1t is reasonable to estimate that
the daily attendance at Fairmount Park
will be at least $4,000. 1t should be re-
membered also that this multitude must
be transported by private and public
conveyances, between the hours of eight
A. NJ. and twelve NJ, and return between
five and eight p. NJ The question of
transportation for such great numbers
therefore becomes as difficult Us it is es-
sential. The attendance will largely de-
pend on facilities that will be offered for
the comfort and convenience of visitors.
Hence the Importance of satisfactory
solution of the question. In the con-
sideration of this question should be in
cluded the condition of the approaches
to the park from different sections of the
city, and also the tariff of rates for car
riages, hacks, cabs, omnibuses, and
other public cOnveyances, which should
be registered by law to prevent imposi-
ton. 1t is apparent that these ques-
tions, although local in their character,
are of great interest to the general pub
lie, and are really the most essential ele-
ments to the success Of the exhibition.
In the proper provision for their regula
tion is involved the reputation of the
city and the good will of the public
toward the enterprise. The accommo-
dation of visitors without the exhibition
ground does not properly come within
the duties of the national commission.
The commission will, however. seouro,
as far as possible, favorable transporta-
ton facilities for exhibitors and visitors
to the city, but the special arrangements
for their entertainment while in the city
should be made by the citizens Of Phila-
delphia.

Liquor in New York.

There was lengthy session of the
New York Assembly committee on inter-
nal affairs, convened for the purpose of
taking into consideration the excise bills
now before the Legislature. The sub
lect of a uniform excise law for the
whole State lis an important one. The
liquor interests We're represented at the
meeting by large delegation, also the
beer and ale dealers. 1t is understood
that the principal points of the bill pro-
posed by Mr.. George A. Stauf, of New
York, will be adopted by both houses.
This bill provides in the main that COM
missioners of excise IN each city, town
and village of the State shall have power
to grant licenses for n period of six
months and not more than a year at a
time.
The license fee is set down as fol-
lows
For sale of malt liquors, light and ma
tive wines or beer not less than $50 nor
more than $50.
For sale of spiritous liquors, wines,
ales and beer, not less than $50 nor more
than $50.
For hotel, having 100 lodging rooms,
not less than 800 nor more than $3.50.
Hotels having more than 100 lodging
rooms, not less than $3.50 nor more than
$3.50.
In case of refusal to grant license the
party will be entitled to hearing before
the courts, and if no valid objection ap-
pears, then the commissioners are com
PEELED to grant such privilege.
1t is made the duty of the sheriff, his
deputies and the police authorities, to
report any infringement of the law, but
the commissioners are empowered to
prosecute and recover penalties in the
courts. The bill also provides that the
commissioners of excise, in each city OF
the State, shall be appointed by the
mayors thereof, and confirmed by the
common council, and for good cause re-
moved by the mayors. No mention is
made of Sunday traffic.

A Tender Epistle from a Boy.

A heart broken youth named Frank,
in Wilmington, N. c., nine years old,
has lately found relief by inditing the
following letter to playmate of the
other sex:
My DARLING LUCY: I must leave you
tomorrow. you used to love me but
your love for me is gone but my love
for you is just the same just think Lucy
how your words cut my heart would
give you things too as well as Robert
but if you want to sell your love for two
or three apples go head don't care a
straw lucy i lovethe ground you walk on

P. S. if you here of me being dead

5. If you have written sentence that

6. Condense. Make sure that you

Effect of Exercise.

1t is found by observation that the
effect OF " training" or the persistent
use OF gymnastic exercises, is to enlarge
the heart and lungs both in size and
capacity. Archibald McClaren, superin-
tendent of the Oxford gymnasium, and
author of Physical Education" says:
"One of the army officers sent to me to
be instructed in gymnastics gained five
inches in girth around the chest in less
than three months" That this growth
is not explained by the mere enlarge
ment of the pectoral muscles is proved
by the increased volume of air which
the lungs are enabled to respire, as is
demonstrated by the spirometer, and
post-mOrtems abundantly show an in
creased capacity as well as size in the
heart and large blood vessels. Thelungs
increase both in length and breadth,
forcing the ribs outward and the dia-
phragm downwards. 1t is for this reason
that athletes and gymnasts are enabled
to make prolonged and violent exertions
without getting out of wind. The ca
pacity of the heart and central arteries
being enlarged, they can accommodate
more blood. Their contractile power
being increased by this new demand
upon them, they are enabled to send on
the current through the lungs with in
creased velocity, and thus by their
greater capacity are able to oxygenize
the blood as fast as it is supplied to
them, and so no congestion takes place,
and no inconvenience is felt. The nor
NAL capacity of the lungs of an adult
male is about two hundred cubic inches.
1t is computed that an enlargement of
three inches around the chest gives an
increase of fifty cubic inches of lung
capacity.

For the Doctor,

In little village of southern France
the physician quarreled with one of his
friends, merchant, because the latter
had said that physicians were all asses.
The merchant soon after this fell i'll, but
the doctor refused to see him unless he
would take back his opinion of the medi-
cal profession. Ten years passed on and
one day as the emi-paralyzed merchant
was summing himself before his door, he
saw the doctor pass. "Hullo, DIR. Bus
sarague," he cried, "you can come to see
me now; | have changed my opinion.
:" So much the better" replied the
doctor, "for unless you had 1 should
never recognize you" "Yes, I've
changed my opinion, entirely changed
it," continued the merchant; "formerly
L said physicians We're asses" "You
were wrong" 81 know it; it is the
patients who are the asses. A" "Why SO 4"
" Because if they were not asses they
would not send for the doctors"

Sonnet.

Joy cannot claim purer bliss,
Nor grief dew from stain moro clear,
Than female friendships melting kiss
Than female friendships parting tear.
How sweet the hearts full bliss to prove,
To her whose smile must crown the store ;
How sweeter still to tell of woes,
To her whose faithful breast would share
In every grief, in every care,
Whose sigh can lull them to repose!
Oh, bless'd sight, there is no sorrow,
But from thy breath can sweetness borrow
E'en to the pale and dropping flower
That fades in loves neglected hour;
Zen with her woes can friendships power
One happier feeling blend
'Tis from her restless bed to creep,
And sink like wearied babe to sleep.
On the soft couch her sorrows weep,
The bosom of friend.

A correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer says: If you want good, sweet
mutton, kill oursheep without worrying
and fatigue; the less exercise the better.
Hang him up by the hind legs and clean
him at once; now change ends; hang
him by the head, and skin down the tail |;
the job is done in half the time, and
done neatly. 1t is not the wool that
gives mutton the sleepy taste and smell; /;
it is the food during exercise and after
being killed; hence the necessity of
speedy work until cleaned.
