Mary Clemmer says that no men in
Washington public life have changed SO
rapidly in appearance as Conkling, Carpen-
ter and Blaine. While men like Sens.
Hamlin and Morrill, do not look day older
than they did 10 years Ogo,these three men,
who are more than 20 years younger than
they are have grown swiftly old by their
sides.
-" What are you worth ?" asked a rich
old miser of young man who was eourting
his only child. "Not much now, but I'm
coming into a large fortune in a few years,
was the reply. The marriage took place
and then the old miser learned that the
large fortune which the young man wa;
coming into was his father-in-law's.

HIS DAY,,S

1t was hot yesterday morning. 1t was
hot at noon. 1t was so hot that passengers
in the street cars took off their hats, mopped
their brows, and fiercely declared they knew
all the time we'd catch it bout the last Of
June. A Woodward avenue car had just
one seat left when il reached John r. street,
and this was taken by red-whiskered man,
adown whose cheeks the perspiration fairly
ran. His clothing stuck to tie small of his
back, his big red hands were wet to the fng-
er nails, and it was evident that the sun had
been trying to corner him. Seven or eight
men were making ready to tell him that it
was hot day, when the stranger drew out
big revolver, laid it on his knee and, look
ing up and down the aisle, slowly remarkedi
Gentlemen, l am stranger here, but
have bought house and lot up street, and
shall ride on these cars six times day. This
is my day for opening the season."
Every man looked at him in a wonder
ing way, and gently caressing the weapon
of death the stranger said:
1t is hot weather. Even fool know:
that. It's going to be hotter. Two weeks
hence it will be regular old fryin'-pan wealth
er. Now, then, while l she'll realize it al
forcibly as any one, Pm going to shoot tht
first man who says weather to me. won
have word about it, nor near to it. I'm
willing TO be broiled, baked or roasted, bu
don't want to talk about it. Now let som,
one remark that lisa hct day-good for corr
locks like showers-too much rain--splen
did for clover awful dusty, or beautiful
breezes, and I'll begin shooting"
Not lisp was heard. Ifany one imagin
ed there might be frost at night in tn,
lower lake regions he kept his thoughts t.
himself, and the car rolled its peaceful wa.
along.-Free Press.

FARMERS COLUMN.
UsefNI Maxims.

A farm without water, however fertile, is
yet desert.
Never eat yourself, until your animals
are fed.
No farmer can afford to allow his animals
TO suffer with cold or hunger.
Asarule, avoid investing largely in things
that are untried.
Never purchase thing simply because it
isnew.
A good elder is desirable in the church,
but they are oil bad in the meadow.
The shivering animal can make no flesh
or milk,
He who ministers cruelty to his family or
animals, may expect to "be paid in his own
coin," some day.
1t is better to be tenant free from debt,
than TO own mortgaged farm.
The most dreadful thing to put on farm
Is mortgage.
Plenty of light and sun are as essential to
all domesticated animals as food.
Pure air is the most valuable for its cost,
Of all our necessities.
Few things are more inconsistent than for
the farmer who uses tobacco. TO say that he
cannot afford an agricultural journal.
Mixed husbandry is the most profitable
provided one knows just how to mix it, but
unless there is judgment, experience and skill
in the mixture, it will not combine to profit
put, as chemists say, it will "precipitate ,
then "stand from under"
The best time to kill weeds is every day in
the year, and the stage of their growth al
which they are most easily killed is as soor
as they can be seen.
Plant few fruit trees of every variety
every year, and your orchard will never bC
all old.
Variety in farming is safer than spec
ialty,
If water must be supplied artifcially
cisterns are better and more reliable thar
wells.
A filter in cistern on the farm is need
less.
The farmer who fails to keep correct ac
count with each lot and crop, is very apt t.
cheat himself
The farm house should be susceptible
throughout, of being made pure, warm anc
cool, light and dark, and unfit for vermin.
The sitting room should be the most pleas
ant in the house.
The air of the chamber should be as prr
as that is out of doors.

Eggs from Different Breeds o.
Poultry.

-
Fanny Field, lady correspondent Of the
Ohio Farmer, says that CATER repeating ex-
periments with the different varieties of
fowls, and comparisons with others who
have experimental in the same direction,
have concluded shat the laying capabilities
of the principal varieties are as follows:
"Light Brahmas and Partridge Cochins
-eggs, seven TO the pound lay one humid
red and thirty per annum
Ozark Brahmas-eggs,ei eight to the pound
lay one hundred and twenty per annum.
BLACK, White and Buff Cochin-eggs
eight to the pound; lay one hundred and
twenty five per lnnnm..
plymouth Rocks-eggs, eight to the
pound lay one hundred and fifty per an
mum.
"Houdans-eggs, eight to the pound; lay
one hundred and fifty per annum,
ola Fleche-eggs, seven to the pound lay
one hundred and thirty per annum.
"Black spanish-eggs, seven to the pound
lay one hundred and forty per annum.
"Poiish-eggs, nine to the pound > lay ont
hundred and twenty five per annum.
"Bantam-eggs, sixteen to the pound; lay
ninety per annum.
81 regret very much that did not keel
account of the cost of food consumed by eacl
