OLD WI/DS PARID/SE

1t appears, writes a tourist, that
in Shetland the greater number of
marriages are between youths OF
nineteen aud maids of thisty-two
Whenever young man can act
his part ia the manning Of IL bont,
he has ambition, aud therefore
there Is no wonder at his marrying
early, but why he pitches on an
old maid instead of young gnl
is not easily accounted for, unless
it be that young men have pecu.
liar affection for cid maids, as Old
men have Il peculiar affection for
young girls. However, iu no coun-
try is lover so faithful to his lady
love as in Shetland. / never heard
of a Shetland sailor who was..5uilty
of breach of promise, although
he should be absent for ten years.
Not only does he not break his Ell
gngement, but he never fails to
write TO his beloved one in effu
sions of the most endearing nature,
always beginning or ending his
epistie with MY Pet" "My jew
ell, MY Watcll," or "My Dia-
mond." Yeals before the ceIebra.
ton of the marriage, the woman is
by 20 means slack in telling ali her
neighbors of the particulars of the
engagement, and OF the year, and
of the month, and of the day, and
of the hour it is to be celebrated.
1t is no uncommon thing for neigh
bors, who have not been invited to
the marriage. to dress in disguise
and participate IL the festivities of
the evening. The usual way they
disguise themselves is by rollins,
the body up in a straw rope and
blackening the face. These mask
ers usually have all the privileges
of bld,.en guests, and are treated
with great civilitv. At the end OF
every dance, every man must kiss
his female partner. Sometimes
the men dance by themselves, as
the women can not hold out to
such long and furious exercise, and
when they finish their dance, they
do not kiss, but they hug each
other to such il degree as to create
disgust in those who have been
nnaccustomed to such a habit.

Of the Bulgarian towns can compare

the garrison ordinarily maintained

water communication with the
Black Sea bv the Danube Rustchuk

southern connection with the Blact,
Sea by railroad to the port Of
Varna. In the different Russo,
Turkish wars which have occurred
during the past century the Rus
slams have several times captured
Rustchnk. They took it in 1910
after a long siege, and held it until
1872, when they evacuated and
barncd it. In 1929 they took il

razed, but before the Crimean
war they were rebniit, and are now
quite formidable, both in strength
and weight of metal. But the great

THE DIGNITY OF 1GRICTL-
TURE.

Those who are disposed TO ig-
more the profession of agriculture,
and deem it one unworthy of their
attention, should read what Dau-
iel Webster said on this subject
years ago. Agriculture is the
father Of all other industries and
the source from which our wealth
flows. Here is what he says
mo man is so high as to be in
dependent of the success of this
great interest: 70 man is go low as
not to be affected by its prosperity
or decline. Agricultu feeds, to
a great degree, it clothes US; with
out it we could not have manufac-
turers, and we would not have
commerce. These all stand to-
gether, but they stand together
like pillars in ciuster-the largest
in the center, and that largest is
agriculture. We live In country
Of small farms aud freehold tene-
ments: a country in which men
cultivate their own fee simple acres,
drawing not only their own SUBJ
stance. but also theilf spirit of in
dependence and manly freedom
from the ground and the plow.-
They arc at once its owners, its
cultivators and its defenders. The
cultivation of the ear h is the most
important work of man. Man
may he civilized in some degree
without great manufactures and
without his distant neighbors; but
without cultivation of the earth he
IS, In all countries, savage. Un-
til he gives up the chase, and fix
es himself to some place and seeks
a living from the earth, he is a
roaming barbarian. When the til.
lage begins, other arts follow. The
farmers are, therefore, the found
ers of human civilization"

The TURKISH POSITIONS on
THE DANUBE.

The two principal points on the
northern frontier OF Bulgaria, at
which the Turks appear disposed to
dispute the Russian passage Of the
Danube. are Rustchuk and Silistria,
both fortified towns, both lying i'm

Danube, and both memorable for

TIE FIRST WATCH.

At first the watch was aboutltbe
size of dessert plate. 1t had
weights, and was used as pocket
clock. The eailiest known use of
the modern name occurs in the
record os 1852 which mentions
that Edward VI had "one larum
or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two
plummets of ieaG.'' The frst
watches may readily be supposed
to have been of rude execution
The first great improvement, the
substitution of springs fol weights,
was i'll 1850. The ea.liest springs
were not coiled, but only straight
pieces of steel. Early watches had
only one haud and being wound
up twice day, they could not be
expected to keep time nearer than
fifteen or tweEty minutes in the
twelve hours. The dials were Of
silver or brass. the cases had DO
crystals, bu: opened at the back
and font, and were four or five
inches in diameter. a plain watch
cost the equivalent of $1,000 in
our currency, and after one WAS
ordered it took Il year t. make it,.

tract from our power to further that

pie and shall continue to do so, and
we hope that IN any future campaign

The war news from Europe is
more than usually exciting this week.
The Russians have succeeded in
crossing the Danube at point far
above that where they first essayed
passage, but the Turks have met
and given them battle and, as yet,
they have achieved nothing to boast
of: At Batoum the Turks succeeded
in driving the Russians from their
positions and inalcting a heavy loss
upon them. What we predicted as
a probability of this war, seems like
ly to be verified. All Islam is gath
ering to the contest and concentrat-
ing its forces against the Russians,
and if the Turks are finally beaten,
the defeat will amount to conquest
of the Mahommedan world. This
result will not, however, be at
tanned without a fierce and protract-
ed struggle and immense loss of life.
The storm Of last Friday even
ing, which was nothing more here
than a severe gale Of wind accom-
panied with moderate rain fall, was
terrible tornado in several localities
not far distant. In Hennepin coun-
ty two houses and barns were lifted
bodily high up in the air, carried
some distance and broken to pieces.
Three persons were severely injured
and several others more or less hurt.
In Wright county, likewise, serious
damage was done. The towns of
Rich6eld and Bloomington were
fearfully wrecked by the storm, as
were several other places in West
Wisconsin, River Falls being again
a severe sufferer. One man near
the latter place had forty sheep
killed by lightning. In St. Paul the
storm did considerable damage, the
wind blowing off roofs and the rain
deluging cellars, washing away cul-
verts, and impairing foundations of
buildings.
1t is with deep regret that we
announce the drowning in lake
Como, on last Thursday, oftwo sons
of Mr.. J. Fletcher Williams, of St..
Paul, the widely known and highly
esteemed Secretary of the State His
torical Society. Z'hey were aged re-
spectively II and II years. The
elder who could swim died in his eff.
forts to save his younger brother who
could not swim. Another brother
saved himself by cllnging to the boat
in which the three had been fishing.

A Landed Aristocracv.

We hope every subscriber of
the ADVANCE, and especially every
farmer, will attentively read the ar
1icle headed "Proposal for Land
ed Arlstocracy," and then devote an
hour or two to a calm retrospective
examination of his own experience
and observation. Tie facts which
the article and the review will force
him to recognize will be distasteful,
no doubt he will regret their exis-
tence, but he will have to acknowl-
edge that they do exist and are like
ly to lead to the very results which
the writer of that article sets forth
as desirable. How can this result
be avoided is a aquestion for serious
consideration. We know of but one
way and that is for the farmers of
the country to avoid running in
debt, by observing strict economy.
Instead Of launching out into extrav.
agant enterprises, in vain efforts to
get rich in hurry, let them be con-
tent to make comfortable livings and
augment their wealth naturally and
gradually. Let them form loan as
sociations amongst themselves and
confne their necessities to the lim-
its of their own capital, instead of
using that of Eastern owners at the
risk of losing their lands by so doing.
BY doing this they will drive East
ern capitalists to investments in in
dustrial enterprises. This will cre-
ate demand for laborers there, and
from such laborers there will be an
increased demand for subsistence
which will tend to enlarge the oppor-
tunities for marketing and increase
the price Of agricultural products.
But read the article carefully and
listen to the lesson it teaches.
