Careless Farmers.

It is amazing to consider the extent
to which losses are incurred on tue
one hand, and sales and occupations
afforded on the other hand by the in
excusable carelessness of people who
know better and ought to do better.
The fastening of we'll bucket is de-
ranged or a hoop is loose; but the
tho1ghtless man or woman never no.
tices the trouble until the bucket is
dropped in the we'll or the bottom Is
out. Then time is lost, tue family Is
Inconvenience, and perhaps a neigh
bor gets q job of work and the pay.
The gate latch is cut OF order; no at
tention is paid to it: the hogs or COWS
get in; the yard is rooted up; the
shrubbery is destroyed; the gardener
is employed, and the nurseryman has
an order. A tire is loose on the wheel;
the wood is swiftly wearing away-a
little care would set the matter right;
no pains are taken; away Oh tn, road
wheel is crushed, and the wheeiriShs
has some employment. A shingle IS
out Of place on the roof; one hall
would mend the trouble; that Nall
isn't driven; the rain steals III, and
soon the pIasterer is paid to use trowei
and brush. A bride rein is weaa;
bit is worn; nobody thinks OF exa .ln-
ing either; Il horse is drawn to one side.
Or horse runs away; q vehicle Is bro
ken-and q car1iage-maker or biacF-
smith is protited, Or perhaps surgeon
has profitable engagement.
The water of a well is impure; those
who use 1t complain. and no proper
steps are taken; the family have seri-
GUS sickness; the druggist sells his
medicines, and the doctor gets his fees.
In the same way the cellar is foul. and
the mephitic gases escape through the
floors; the blood is poisoned, and the
fever RACES; some suffer. some die; the
physician has harvest, and even the
undertaken and sexton find employment.
A stove chimney is in dangerous con-
dltion, people have eyes to see, but
don't use them; the fire soon does its
dreadful work, and carpenters and
merchants have good time. So of
many-very many things.
! Are you innocent OF such neglect
There are far better and cheaper ways
to give work and profit to others.
By taking care of what you have You
may become able to add other and
more valuable things which you de-
sire. This is true economy III paying
proper attention to small as well as
| great things.

At one of the evening iddling-

the misses rather abruptly, Where is

she said, abstractedly. "he's waiting
for me, outside, I guess" And then
every drop of blood rushed into her
face, and when she began to practice,
her violin gave vent to cries as of one

The Nan Whe Put Up at Gadsbys S

When my odd friend Kliey ana l
were newspaper correspondents in
Washington, IL the winter of 81, We
were coming down Pennsy ylvania ave
nue. one night, near midnight. in a
driving storm of snow, when the flash
of street lamp fell upon man aho
was eagerly tearing along in the oppo-
site direction. This man instantly
stopped. and exclaimed,
This is lucky! You are Mr.. Riley.
amt you?'
Riley was the most self-possessed
and soiemnly deliberate person in the
republic. He stopped, locked his man
over from head to foot, and finally
said.-
"I am Mr.. Riley. Did you happen
to be looking for nae?
"That's just what was doing" said
the man, j,yously, "and it's :he big
gest luck in the world that I've found

"Well, not exactly got it, but the

Profitable Hens,

Those who breed or expect to breed
large numbers of fowls, says the Land
and Home, want the most profitable
variety. Parties who raise few fine
birds for pleasure rarely think of
getting q profit from their pets. With
farmers, however, who look on the
prosy side, letting the poetic take care
Of itself, and demand a profit both in
eggs and flesh. the question of breed
Is generally a secondary consideration.
But in most cases it pays better to breed
pure. bred fowls, for the simple reason
that the extra fine ones, il point OF
. markings, form, etc., can usually be
! disposed of at double the price, and
often more than could be obtained in
the open market if sold for food. This
fact Is we'll worth remembe bering, espe-
cially when we take into account the
fact that pure bred fowls are as prois-
able to raise for msrket as common
| ones. No particular breed combines
the heaviest weights and greatest lay
ing powers, though the famous Ply
| mouth Rocks come nearer, perhaps, to
golden medlun than any other. If
! our prime object is eggs, then the
Leghorns notlceably the Brown va
riety, take general precedence, though
but small-bodied and compact fowls.

WHAT MAKES THE WIRES HUM?-
Most boys believe that the humming
sound made by the telegraph wires is
caused by the messages hurrying along
| to their destinations; and most men be-
lieve that the sound is caused by the
| vibration of the wire in the wind. A
writer in an Australian newspaper,
! however, calls attention to the fact that
one who will give close observation to
| both the wires and the sounds will find
| that the latter make themselves obvi-
ops likewise when there Is q total ab
| scuce of wind; in a quiet morning in
winter, when the wires appear to be
covered with frost to the thickness of
a finger, they nevertheless carry on
lively vibrations and singing, while the
air is totally quiet. According to this
writer, therefore, the vibrations are
due, not to the wind, but to changes of
! atmospheric temperature, and espe-
| eially through the action of cold, as
lowering of temperature induces
shortning of the wires extending over
the whole length of the conductor. A
considerable amount of friction is pro-
| duced on the supporting bells, thus in
ducing sound, both in the wires and
| the poles.

A DELICATE surgical operation was per formed a few days ago by Drs. Diekerson and Stark, of the Surgical Institute, Kansas City, which, for the success attending it. we consider decidedly worthy of notice. The patient was Willie Reed, son of Nathaniel Reed, of Douglas, Butler county, Kansas. The lad had for two years past been afflicted with diseased jaw bone, which, in connec- ton with the tinkering of unskilled prac- titioners, had grown so very bad as to en- danger the life of the child. Hearing of the remarkable cures by Drs. Dickerson and Stark, the child was brought to this city and placed under their charge. Two weeks ago the little fellow was subjected to the kniie. and the lower jaw was taken out the operation taking about twenty minutes. The incision was made at point near the chin. The jaw-bone was disarticulated and removed. In per orning this operation the surgeon was compelled to cut around and close to the internal maxillary and external carotid arteries, to have cut either of which would have produced death. This opera ton is one winch only the most skilled surgeons attempt.
 The patient is now rapidly recovering, and will soon be as sound as ever, with the exception of having less jaw than nature desgned he should have. The gentlemen performing the operation also successfully cure hip-joint diseases, spinal complaint and straighten club feet, and are so success ful in all they undertake that we feel pride in knowing that our city has an insti- tuition presided sver v such skilled gen. tlemen.--Kansas City Journal of Commerce.

pebts of the Various states.

A comparison of the debts of the vari- ous States in 1S40 and to-day shows there has been a much smaller increase than most people believe, the increase being only about 35 per rent, while the popu- lation of the country has increased dur ing the period lS0 per cent. and the wealth of the country more than quin- tupled. The explanation of this lies in the fact that the period of 1S35-IS40 was one of imitation, ending Tn crisis and panic, and that the States took advan- tage of the ease at which money could toe obtained to borrow us much as possi- ble. Pennsylvania led the list in 1S40 in the matter of big debts and Louisiana stood second, with New York, Alabama, Illinois and Indiana following.
