Morals ana Manners Of German ON.
ran Mali Gazette,


German officers are undoubtedly the most
highly educated IN the wofid They can only get pro-
ipoti1n rs asSiduons study and thcr take profess
siofai bride N bhtrre which pltces them lnnteas-
urably above their men. III fife RESPECT they truly
form an aistocacy. Again, they have strict code N
honor which Is kept III force Ivy dueling, and which
lays upon them the necessity Of being very correct in
their behavior not only toward each other hut toward
civilians. German onicer can only fight
duel with man who Is socially his equal, and lie Is
gets dragged into disrcputablc brawl with an in
ferior, he finds himself In dilemma from which there
Is escape except by throwing up his commission
Some years ago Prussian occr had his face slapped
In the streets OF Coblcnz by baker; he drew out his
sword and cut down his aggressor like dog there
and then. Public opinion took his side, for had he
let the aront pass he must have left the army: as II
was he got tried by court martial, ana was sentenced
20 n month s Imprisonment, not for killing baker,
hut for having street quarrel with such person.

not quite frequent as seems 10 be Imagined. a
puhctilious respect for hierarchy close observance

before which disputes mist be laid before the per-
mission to fight Is given, so that fiiore trucu'ent
bravo could not win himself areputation ut the swOrds
point, nor tease his comrades by his mpertnenccs.
GENERALLY speaking German officers are polite to de-
gree which far transeends the pfoverba courtesy OF
Frenchmen; while toward civilians they practice u
refinement Of etiquette which Is intended to put q
proper distance between themselves and interlopcrs.
In Germany the uniform of an ofIicer is more re-
spccted than II Is In any other country except Eng
land; and II cbnfers prestige per Sc. Everybody
knows that IN dbhnng HIS epattlet the uefman ofccr

about money matters are extremely rare aiforfg the
occrs and this Is the creditabe to them. rs no
attempt Is made to hush up such affairs when they do
arise The offender, whoever he may be, Is at once
brought book by his colonel and IL he cannot clear
his honor he Is promptly ordered to resign.

A KANSAS WoMAN's FARM.-Mr. Hoad-
ley showed us yesterday some heads of
wheat, sample of forty five acres, now
growing on the farm of Mrs. Mary
Macutchen, situated about five miles
from this city. It promises to yield
twenty bushels to the acre. This Mrs.
Macutchen is a somewhat remarkable
woman. She was left widow with
four children more than ten years ago.
In 1874, when half the people were
scared out of their wits by the grasshop-
pers, she contracted for an unimproved
farm for $500, which she gave to one of
her boys. She has since paid for the
land from the surplus products of her
own farm of 12O acres. Last year she
bought the Bob Allen farm of $50 acres
at the price Of $250O, one-fourth of which
she has already paid, and will pay over
another fourth from the crops of this
year. She runs her farm with the aid of
her two sons and without much hired
help. This is q good example of what
has been done in the midst of what are
called hard times in Kansas, by widow
left with family of children, and no re-
sources but farm of 120 acres.-1 Law
renee (Kan.) Journal.

The Front Yard.

It is very correct observation that the
front yard is an index of the home and
the home life. 1t may not be so COM
pletely an index of the style of farming
which the owner practices, because the
hard work of the farm is one thing, and
the beauty of the home surroundings is
another. A man may be an excellent
farmer, have good cattle, keep his fields
in trim condition, and yet have no par
ticular idea of neatness about the front
yard. The spirit which manifests itself
in identifying the grass plot at the front
door, setting out few rose-bushes, and
sowing few papers of flower seeds,
usually resides within the house, but it
must be reciprocated from that without,
or little can be accomplished. Some
hard work must be done, which the wife
and daughter cannot do; there is dress
ing to be provided, spading to be done,
and some cleaning up about the prem
ises, which is of too heavy a nature for
the women folks" to perform. This
must be done by the strong arms of the
men. An hour or two after supper, for
few days, will work wonders at this gar
den preparation, and, with the heavy
| work out of the way, that of planting
out, sowing seeds and after care, can be
almost wholly attended by fairer hands.
Do not put this off as of no consequence.
It is the one thing about the farm that is
sure to pay. There is an actual money
value to neat yard, little lawn, to
climbers, to roses, to bed of verbenas,
to geraniums. You may not eat them
yourself, they may not help feed your
cattle, bnt they will feed the soul, and
the mind and heart under their refining
influence will be improved, elevated and
made better. A single front yard neatly
kept, and holding few beds of pansies,
phlox, carnations and gladiolus, is
good missionary station for an entire
neighborhood; and sociability, gentle
ness, refinement and love will flow out
from such home and such garden as
naturally as warmth from heated stove.
It will be the center of attraction and
good influence all through the summer,
and the home itself will be happier, and
the inmates better for the pure influences
of plants and flowers.
Don't neglect to trim up the front
yard, provide few flower beds, and
keep the home surroundings in neat con-
dition all the time. One of these days
you will find Yourself loving and caring
for flowers, and a better farmer for it all.
~. Y. Farmer.

GARFIELD AND THE WELSH BARDs.-
Gen. Garfield, it is said, is to preside
over gathering on the Scranton Eistedd-
fod, in this State, the trial of competi-
tive Welsh bards being claimed as of
Welsh extraction himself. This ex-
plains why he has retired to Mentor to
get rested enough to write his letter of
acceptance. It is to be in the Welsh
language land it has prior claim in
point of time over the other invitations
to the Presidency naturally it requires
time, seclusion and careful study. When
that is published it will be in order to
look out for the other letter. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that the General will
not get his dictionaries mixed and
express his willingness to grwyn yrbd to
the wrong parties. It would have been
safe, however, to have written the
English letter FIRST Philadelphia
Ledger.
