LAST year Texas produced over 49,
600 barrels of molasses.
THE Alabama and Mississippi rail-

cotton accommodating at the stations
faster than they can carry it off.
The apple crop, which threatened to

is pretty well supplied at fair prices.
CANNING crabs, a new industry at
Oxford, Md, gives employment to 40

month.
A USE has been found for the mill

RIcE-GRowERs along the banks of
the Mississippi often had to put up with
small crops for lack of irrigation by the
river. This year, pumps have been
largely used when the water was too
low for the necessary overflow.
The novel engineering feat of build
ing bridge on shore and then showing
it across the river has been accomplish
ed at Dinard, France. The structure
is 314 feet long, weighs over 200 tons,
and was projected into its place with
twelve strong windlasses.
The first cargo of corn ever sent, per
steamer for Portugal, from the United
States, was loaded and shipped from
the port of Philadelphia short time
since. The cargo comprised $4,000
bushels of white and yellow corn and
was shipped by Illinois parties.
The demand for rye straw for the
manufacture of paper is 80 great in
Pennsylvania that farmers have very
largely increased their acreage of this
crop, and the yield for the present
year is estimated at $500, 900 bushels.
The straw is as valuable as the grain.
MANY of the mines on the mountains

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

Two TINY crystal rain-tirpps
Came tw inkling down to earth.
Filled with high cndcavor
Ihat well became their birth,
The end Of their ambition
Was worthy of their zeal
TO lend their help in turning
An Old mills messy wheel.
They danced along together
Adown the rushing stream,
Rettecting in the sunshine
Hues bright as Youths glad dream.
Soon came the mighty struggle,
And, in the downward sweep,
One pushed the other forward,
But missed itself the leap.
Caught in whirling eddy,
Down in the stream below,
The one who failed lamented
In tones of bitter wo:
" Mine efforts all are wasted,
And useless here lie,
Unnoticed, aforementioned,
Born but to falkland die"
just then, released from prison,
And floating down the tide,
1t met its toihwOrn fellow
Again flowed side by side.

The victor whispered low.
But deem your sorrow needless,
And hope to prove it 50.

And i'll the eye of Justice

Education in Honesty.

In the coiilse Of his sefiH6h yester=
day morning the Rev. DR.. John Hall
referred to the contrivances of the
horse-car companies to prevent cheat
ing by the charlottesville punches,
the bell-registers, the spoilers and the
like, all of which are more or less in
effectiial devices. HI said:
elf these men work fifteen hours a
day and seven days in the week, and
are robbed of the instruction and in
tluence of the Sabbath, I do not Won
der if they say, Diamond cut dia-
mond.' Release these neh, say; put
the restraint of honesty into their
souls.''
Evidently DR.. Hall believes that if
corporations are without soul each of
their agents and servants has one, and
that mechanical detectives of "knock-
ing-down" are of questionable influ-
ence in planting good impulses in the
soul. Education in honesty is better
than the most ingenious methods of
checks and tallies and the most watch
full espionage. The education of the
soul implies something more than dis
cip1ine and punishment, something
more even than mental and moral in
struction. So long as the soul is set in
the body it is impossible to neglect the
latter. Rest is necessary for the health
of both, no matter what may be said
against the compulsory observance of
Sunday. OverwOrk is fatal not only
because it puts moral and intellectual
instruction out of the question, but be-
cause it leaves no opportunity even for
the growth of right inclination. The
supporters of eight-hour laws have
spoken and written a great deal of
nonsense; but between their extreme
and that of the car companies, with
their So fifteen hours day and seven
days in the week." there must be
somewhere a reasonable mean.
There are wholesale suggestions in
DR.. Halls words which reach beyond
the car companies and concern laymen
as well as clergymen. We lay stress
upon a well-organized and efficient
police department., and this indeed, is a
necessity. But it is well to remember
that policemen and criminal courts and
penal statutes and prisons are after all

without the expense imposed on the
latter, since they can obtain their living
from the products of their farms the
same as if they remained on them.
The great drawback to living in vii
lagos consists in the trouble of going to
the farms in the morning and returning
at night. 1t is question, however, if
these trips call for more travel than is
generally required in going to town to
purchase goods, visit mechanics, get
the mail, call the doctor, catch the
train, send telegraphic message, and
attend church and society meetings. If
there are children in the family It is a
great hardship for them to travel long
distances in order to attend school,
when excellent schools would be with
in reach of them if they lived in a vii
lage. At present many persons who
enjoy society, and desire to improve
themselves Intellectually, decline to en-
gage in farming because they would
have few means of enjoyment and few
sources of mental culture. If they
could live in a village, however, they
would prefer farming to any other oc-
cupation.
As before shown, there is no neces-
sity for living on a grain farm during
half the year, since no labor can be per.
formed on it. There is really no occa-
sion for family on farm devoted to
producing stock. The field-labor is
limited to cutting hay, which is per-
formed by few men during about four
weeks time. One or two men could
have the care of the stock during the
winter, and could live in small quar-
tiers, getting their supplies from the vii
lage from time to time. There is less
reason why persons engaged in domes-
tic agriculture should live in villages,
because farms devoted to large num-
Der of field, garden, and orchard crops
are generally small and require almost
constant labor throughout the year.
Especially is this the case where there
is dairy and an apiary to superintend.
Small farms, too, allow families to live
within visiting distance of each other,
and enable them to support very
good schools. Chicago Times.
