Better Luck Another Year.

Oh! never sink meath fortunes frown,
But brave her with a shout OF cheer,
And front her iairly-iace her down
She's only stern to those who fear!
Here's " better luck another year!"
Another year!
Aye, better luck another year!
Wen have her smile instead of sneer-
A thousand smiles Tor every tear,
With home made glad and goodly cheer,
And better luck another year
Another year!
The damsel fortune still denies
The plea that yet delights her ear;
lis but our manhood that she tries,
She's coy to those who doubt and fear;
She'll grant the suit another year!
Another year
Here's " better luck another year"
She now denies the golden prize;
But spite OF irown and scorn and sneer,
Be firm, and we will win and wear
With homo made glad and goodly cheer,
In better luck another year!
Another year! Another year!

Timely TOPICS.

Mr.. A. S. Fuller, of Ridgewood, N. j.,
whose chronological cabinet is said to

is credited with the declaration that of

hundred whose true history is well

men that there is a little room still left
for them in this line of study, and men

The Detroit Free Press says that the
practice of locking passengers in the
railroad coaches is custom that would
never be olerated in America. The
very fact thu the door was locked would
stir an irresis ns-.e impulse in the liberty
loving SesorlNyF the average American
to kick it open There is even in Eng
land a sort of mild idea of this kind
afloat. A gentleman of this city, .gho
has travelled good deal in Britain, says
that most of the knowing passengers
there provide themselves with the small
square keys that will unlock the door of
the British railroad carriage. Those
nervous passengers who do not like to
travel with locked doors, yet have no
key, can easily make one with piece of
silver of the requisite size. Strange as
it may appear, the door is unlocked in
this way by slipping the silver in the
guards hand while the appropriate
words are whispered in his ear.

The reigning Gar possesses in full
measure the family love of being present
at great fires, which his younger brother,
the Grand Duke Nicholas, is enabled to
crafty at will by his position as head of
the St. Petersburg fire brigade. On one
occasion this passion for running with
the machine" all but proved fatal to
both. When the German Lutheran
church, on the Moika canal, took fire
in the middle of the night, the Gar and
his brother were among the first to reach
the spot, and, while directing the opera
tiuEs of TIE trSsA~t, incautiousfy ap-
preached too near the burning build
ing, the belfry of which was already be-
ginning to totter. Suddenly a huge
beam, at least twelve feet in length, fell
blazing from the roof, and struck the
ground with tremendous crash close
to the spot where they stood, injuring
several of the crowd with its flying
splinters. General Trepoff, then minis.
ter OF police, at once stepped forward,
and succeeded in persuading the Czal
to withdraw, but the Grand Duke
Nicholas maiDed to the end, and saved
the greater part of the building.

Many of our greatest discoveries have
been the result of accident, rather than
a fixed and definite purpose. cit is
curious to note" says the Chicago Tri-
ba1ae, "how nearly every invention that
has proved to be a service and a blessing
to mankind has been the result of what
is popularly termed an accident. 1t is
well known that many great discoveries
in the arts, in science, and in mechanics
have come to the knowledge of expert
menters in line quite differC mt from the
one in which they were operating, and
what they called a blunder at the time
led the way to the most important re-
suits. 1t is said that the Goodyear pro-
cess of utilizing rubber was purely an
accidental discovery, and now it is
claimed that Mr.. Edison by fortunate
accident discovered that carbonized
paper, instead Of platinum, was what he
was after"

If Mexican robbers, who have always

been one of the many curses of ill
governed, distracted Mexico, were dealt
with us were the robbers near GUIANA
juato, according to recent account,
we should hear of fewer depredations
there upon travellers. Thirty highway
men, having attacked a mail coach with
Winchester rifles, were put to flight,
five of their number killed and several
wounded by two young Americans, only
one OF whom was hurt. So the account
reads, and it might seem to be gross
eXaggeration, considering the disparity
of numbers, were not most professional
lawbreakers, especially those in Mexico,
arrant towards, who never take the
offensive unless backed by greatly su-
perior strength, One might imagine
that the Americans had been armed
they wrought, but their most effective
weapons were, no doubt, coolness, cour-
age and resolution. AS one of them,
George Green, is from Texas, and the
other, Frank Senter, is from Massa-
chusetts, the honors of intrepidity are,
as respects section, equally divided.
They are obviously of the right ma
terial; just such citizens are wanted
there, and many of them A hundred
brave, firm fellows of their stamp would
be more effective than 10000 pronuncia-
mentos in favor of honest government
and strict administration of justice.
The education Of the two Americans has
unquestionably been of the kind most
needed there Their parents have, very
plainly, in their case taught tile young
idea how to shoot.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Facts for Farmers.

Bone dust is lasting manure, and
will continue to fertilize plants for
years, when not ground too fine.
The best potatoes grown under favora-
bic circumstances contain twenty per
cent. of starch; poor ones, about zen
per cent.
Hemp is recommendedto TO be cultivated
in vineyards, orchards, etc, for the
Punishment or destruction of noXious
insects. 1t is said noxious insects are
not found in hemp fields.
Cows remove more from the pasture
that their droppings supply; therefore
it is a good plan to spread manure over
them, sprinkled with plaster, to save
the ammonia for the young grass in the
spring.
Thick 2ime whitewash, thi6ned with
a strong decoction of tobacco stems, ap-
| piled 70 fruit trees, is recommended as
| a preventative against rabbits and other
animals gnawing them during the winter
! season.
A good Jersey COW, during ten years
| of usefulness, will produce skim milk
enough to pay for her keeping, and 5000
pounds of the best butter in the world
times as much MS the heaviest beef ami
mails.
A cellar that is cool, dry and dalk,
and yet well ventilated, is the best place
for preserving potatoes in large quanti-
ties. When smaller quantities are tC be
preserved there is nothing like dry
sand.
The very contagious and destructive
disease of cattle, the ro-pneumonia,
was imported from England in 1913.
since which time it has prevailed to II
greater or less extent, and it seems
doubtful if it can be exterminated.
The best breed of fowls would never
satisfy the man who did not take an in
terest in them. Fowls must have care
and attention just the same as any other
live stock. 1t is foolish and unwise to
think they can find their own living and
at the same time yield a fair profit to
the owner. Good, clean. pure water
and food of reproducing and nour-
ishing constituents. fed regularly and
wisely, will pay the owner of the flock,
no matter what may be the breed or
pedigree.
j. D. Gilbert, of Elkhqrt, Ill. who
| lllO l'bb "a lHC VA 'tO Wiz lsbG btbI-
tie show held in Chicago, gives his mode
of feeding young animals as follows
Il feed my young cattle just enough to
keep them strong through the winter
months. After they are two and a half
years old commence feeding corn win.
ter and summer unit | send them tc
market. Attend to them closely and
keep them improving from the time
they are led on corn to the time they
leave the farm. Generally feed from
eight to twelve months on corn. Intend
from this time to feed a year younger
and send one year sooner to market

Care of Ducks,

Ducks usually begin to lay in Febru-
ary, and if shut up at night most OF
their eggs will be saved; shut up all the
time, they will stop laying. They will
sometimes lay in nests prepared for
them in their roosting- but do not
build nests of their own until near y
done laying and ready to sit, which is
about the middle of May. Taking their
eggs away will not prolong their lay
ing. Ducks should not be plucked IN
winter, and those that are to sit should
not be plucked until a week after hatch
ing, as their long four weeks sitting
leaves them weak. After that they
should be picked as often as their
feathers ripen, which can be told by
picking few from the bre st; If there
is no colored fluid in the end of the
feather, it is ripe. The little gray ducks
ripen their feathers once in four weeks ;
if not picfed soon after this they begin
to shed them, and pin feathers take
their places, when separating them is
very tedious. Larger breeds of duck
lings do not ripen eheir feathers SO
quickly. The ducklings can be kt pit
near the house better if Matched under
hens, as ducks and turkeys are alike
about keeping their little ones as iai
away as possible, until hawks or othei
animals catch them, when the old ones
come home as tame as hens. Ducklir e
should be fed on raw Indian m, a
dough, salted little, once or twice
week. A dish containing a few quart
of water, and relilled when empty, vii
do for them as well as a creek, but II
should be fixed so that they can get ou
of the water easily or they will drown
Do not confine them, and they will hell
themselves to sand and insects, ~ Bait

4 Romantic and Remarkable Life.

At Bird-in-Hand, in Lancaster Coun-
ty, Pa, the remains of the late Rebecca
Evans were buried. She was without
doubt one of the strangest women of her
time, and the story of her life and sur
roundings is romantic and remarkable.
She died at the advanced age of 88, and
was never married. She had lived alone
for the past 80 years, and for years and
years before that lived in company with
her brother, who was insane. The man
died about 80 years ago, and for several
years before his death was confined Just
outside the house in large pen, made
by building high fence. Before this
he ran about the country dressed in a
frock, and to this the people who lived
In the neighborhood objected; hence his
confinement. The property for years
has not been kept in repairs, and the
buildings, which consist of two and a
half story house and small barn, looked
20 years ago as though they had been
deserted for century. There was not
. sash in the house that did not have
the glass broken out; some of the shut
tiers were hanging on one hinge and
some lying under the windows; the
fence about the yard falling over, boards
dropped off the barn and holes rotted in
the roof. Part of the pen in which her
brother was kept is still standinga
