Good Rules.

The Country Gentleman gives edi
torially ten rules for farmers, which
deserve to be printed in letters Of
gold. Here they are, in black aud
white:
/. Select good land and reject ster-
lie, 70 matter how cheap.
2. Raise no weeds, but only profita-
Bile crops.
3. Underdrain, wherever needed.
4. Adopt good rotation of crops
and adhere to it.
5. Provide sufficient shelter for do
mestic animals.
6. Keep everything connected with
domestic animals nest and clean.
Z. Plow well, cultivate we'll, do all
work well, and not slipshod. ...
s. Accumulate and save manure,
and apply it properly.
g. Procure good implements, and
take care of them.
10. Raise good animals and take
care of them.
The preceding ten rules will be Of
much use if carried out, and we add
two more to cover them all, viz:
IL. BY weighing and measuring, and
with careful accounts, ascertain just
what every crop or every animal costs
you, and find out just what is the
market value of each.
Employ then those crops and ami.
mails which you find give you good
profit, and drop all else.
You can thus have the satisfaction
of knowing that you are carrying ont
Ricardos two famous rules for aoquir.
ing wealth, namely.
/. Cut short your losses.
2. Let your profits run on.

The Duration Of Life.

In ancient Rome, during the period
between 200 and 300 A. d., the aver
age duration of life among the upper
classes was thirty years. In the pres
ent century, among the same class of
people, it amounts to fifty years. In
the sixteenth century the mean dura-
ton of life in Geneva vas q years,
between 1888 and 1871 it was 406S
years, and at the present time as many
people live to seventy years of age as
three hundred years ago lived to the
age of forty-three. In the year 1893
the British Government borrowed
money, the amount borrowed to be
paid in annuities, on the basis of the
mean duration of life at that time.
The State Treasury made thereby a
good bargain, and all parties to the
bargain were satisfied. Ninety-seven
years later Pitt established another
tontine or annuity company, based on
the presumption that the mortality
would remain the same as hundred
years before. But in this instance it
transpired that the Government had
made bad bargain, since, while in
the first tontine 10000 persons of each
sex died under the age of twenty eight,
ahundred years later only 5,772 males
and 6,3l6 females died under this age.
From this fact it appears that life, un-
der certain favorable Influences, has
gained in many, and probably, in all
its forms and manifestations, both in
vigOr and duration.

Reform is necessary in the civil SER
vice. Experience proves that an effic-
lent and economical conduct of the
governmental business is not possible
if its civil service be subject to change
at every election, and be prize fought
for at the ballot box, be brief reward
of party zeal instead of posts of honor
assigned for proved competency and
held for fidelity in the public employ;
that the dispensingo of patronage should
neither be tax upon the time of all
our public men, nor the instrument of
their ambition. Here again profess
sions falsifed in the performance at
test that the party in power can work
out no practical or salutary reform.
Reform is necessary even more in
the higher grades of public service.
The President, Vice President, Judges,
Senators, Representatives, Cabinet
oficers-these and all others in au-
thority are the peoples servants; their
offices are not private prerequisite,
they are public trust. When the an
mails of the public records show the
disgrace and censure of a Vice Presi-

presentatives, is marketing his rulings
as a presiding officer; three Senators
profting secretly by their votes as

committees of the late house of Repre-

confessed misdemeanors.
The demonstration is complete that
the frst step in reform must be the
peoples choice of honest men from
another party, lest the disease of one
political organization infest the body
polite, and lest, by making no change
Of men or party, we can get no change
of measures and reform. All the
abuses, wrongs and crimes, the pro-
duct Of sixteen years ascendancy Of
the Republican party, create a neces-
sity for reform, confessed by Republi-
cans themselves, but their reformers
are voted down in convention and dis
placed from the Cabinet. The party's
mass of honest voters is powerless to
resist the eighty thousand oficehold-
ers. Its leaders and guides can only
be held by peaceful civic revolution.
We demand change of the system,
q change of the administration,
change of parties, that we may have
change of members and of men.
