IT is doubtful whether, with all the
experience farmers have had in reclaim
ing the numerous swamps of this coun-
try, they have yet settled upon the best
way, or whether the swamps that have
been reclaimed in the careless, unsys-
tematic way pursued, have not cost more
than the profits. There is still a great
deal of swamp land, marring the ap-
pearance of the stfarming districts of
our country, and yielding but little in
come, and it seems to us that farmers
cannot do better than to discuss thor
oughly the best and most economical
methods of training, clearing and work
ing and feeding the different kinds of
swamps.-R,rdl Home.

A Jewel oRa Girl.


There is q servant girl in a family on
our street who would't be permitted
10 ,bange places il ten dollars n
day would he any inducement for
her to stay. She makes il her special
duty to meet all agents and beggars AZ
the door. and TO dispose Of them with
out the least annoyance 10 the family.
She has a rule TO meet each case, and
her rules are perfection. The door-bell
mover fools her. She can tell a callers
ring from any beggar's ring as certainly
as the bell is touched.
When she opens the door and finds q
man with red gOatee, having q clothes
wringer in his hand, abe doesn't wait
for him to hem and haw, and say that
his clothes-wringer beats all others
ever made. She gets the start Of him by
saying
"You seem like a decent respectable
man, and as a friend warn you that
the owner Of the house saw you come
up the steps and ran into the back yard
to unchain his Russian Bloodhound"
The man with the red goatee slings
that wringer over his right shoulder
and canters out of that neighborhood
with his teeth on edge and cold chills
playing tag up and down his back.
The next one might be young lady
who boldly inquiries for the lady Of the
house and has a new kind of face pow
der to sell.
You can go in, whispers the girl,
'and will stand at the door to rush in
when you call. If the mistress asks
you to taste anything beware of poi
son! She may not have her little re-
volver with her this morning, and 1
guess twill be save for you to go in"
: "Why-#hy=v," stampers the young
lady.
Go right in-she may not be dan
gerous."
Never mind-I'll call again. I'm in
hurry"
And that settles the case.
The next is one of those old chaps
who go about with tears in their eyes,
willing to work if work can be had, but
never finding any work their health
will permit them to do.
Madame" he says, as she opens the
door, 'for heavens sake let me work at
something long enough to get slice of
bread"
She mentions him to go around to the
side door and is there to let him in.
She hands him an ak weighing seven
pounds, with q straight handle, points
to three or four big knots, which have
become almost petrifed, and softly
says
"You look hungry, and as soon as
you have split up those will give you
the best meal you have had in six
months"
She goes in and he spits on his hands,
looks at the old axe, and then folds his
tent and silently slips through the gate
like shadow Of fate.
Then the little girl who canvasses for
the orphan asylum rings the bell. She
is met with a smile and the servant
says
"You poor little thing. I pity the
orphans, and I'd like to give you some
money. If you get the mayor to come
here and say that it is all right 1 will
give you three cents"
The little girl thoughtfully pursues
her way, and another case comes and is
met and disposed of, and tbs mistress
of the house is never troubled or an
noyed.
