The Tallest Man and Woman IN the

formerly Anna Swan. Capt. Bates

He continued To remain with his pa
rents, who were farmers, doing the
ordinary labor of a small farm,
until attaining his majority, at
which time he concluded 10 see

ing to Cincinnati, thence to New
York, be was finally induced to pro-
coed To Europe for the purpose OF
exhibiting himself In conjunction
with Miss Anna Swan, whom he met
there, he travelled over Europe.
They were married at ST. Martin $
Church. London. England, June
II, 1871. They were, by request,
guests OF the Queen, aud received
from her Majesty watches and jew
els as souvenirs.
Mrs. Bates, formerly Miss Anna
Swan. was born in Colchester coun-

Mr.. Bates is Z feet III inches

No. 8 hat, a % collar, and 10 boot.
Both are well formed, well proper

They are the largest man and

no authentic record of any human
beings ever having attained the
enormous height of these people.

Farming on a Large Scale.

Fiction shrinks before the mag
nificent facts in agriculture present
ed by the management of the Dial
rymple farm in Minnesota. This
year it was a broad golden plain
of wheat heads, a plain twenty five
miles square. The yield will, 1t is
estimated, average 25 bushels TO
the acre. To harvest this grain,
the expected amount of which will
be over 100000 bushels, employs
fifty self binders which cut and
bind the grain at the rate OF 700
acres per day. The reapers are
drawn by $50 horses, and 200 men
work in the field. These figures
are imposing enough, and read like
an extract from an Aladdin-hke
tale. There is smother Dalrymaple
farm on the Red River, winch il is
thought will produce 100000 bush
els of wheat, making for two farms
100000 bushels, which with wheat
at 81 per bushei, viii bring 5000, 900.
This is the monarchial agriculture
of only one farmer, but it Is SO
great as to he almost incredible.

1t is remarked by German pa
per that there is a great difference
in the putritlye qualities of different
foods, commonly known as green
food, and also that they vary with
the age OF the plant; thus in clover
and lucerne the most important
substances or principles decrease in
quality and as the plants grow old
er. This materially alters the nour
ishing properties, and the feeder
has to guard against this deteriora
ton by changing the food or By
the addition OF little dry food and
hay and the like cut and mixed.
There are some advantages in dry
food which cannot be found In
green, for instance when cut It
proper time and-well secured there
is large proportion OF saccharine
matter in dsy hay, clover and lu-
cerne, which does not exist in a
green state. On the other hand,
there is ho change for the better in
green fodder as it grows older, but
quite the reverse, SIS the fiber be
comes more woody.

Women do not read; they listen

Friendship between women is only

A woman need not always recall

A woman listens to a play with

1t is surprising how near age

The woman who confides to one
man her partiality for another seeks
advice less than an aVowal.
We are always anxious to know
why we are loved; they only care

In church women think that they
receive because they observe, and
that they are medltating when they
are only holding their tongues.
1t is often more meritorious act
for a woman TO allow something
good to be said of another woman
than it would be for her to say it
herself.
The highest mark of esteem a wo-
man can give TO a man is to ask his
friendship, and the most signal
proof of her indifference is to offer
