STYLE in Farming.

There is such thing as style in
farming, regardless of economy and
good sense. There is such thing as
neighbors practicing opposite styles,
unconscious of their good or bad exam
pie. We have q case in point In a
town not far distant is hill, overlook
ing beautiful meadow, owned by diff
ferent parties. 1t is the time of rye
harvest, and your correspondent is on
the eminence swinging his grain era
die, raking and binding sheaves, stook-
ing grain and meditatlng generally on
things below. In the meadow two
farmers are seen engaged in haying.
fresh and early morning and cuts q
large piece by ten O'clock. After a
short respite one of the horses is put
on to the hay tedder, and by vigorous
use OF that and the horse rake, some
of the ripest and thinnest grass is made
ready to cart before dinner. All this
is done noiselessly and single-handed.
In the alter noon two men appear on
the scene, and before night-fall nearly
all the hay moved in the forenoon is
raked and carted homeward, while
some OF the greenest is cooked UP for
removal before dinner the next day. So
the having proceeds rapidly, quietly
and economically OF time and help.
The other farmer takes things mod
erately and as he doubtless thinks more
easily. He starts his moving machine
in the middle OF the forenoon and does
his heaviest work in the hottest part Ui
the day. He gets 50 exhausted by the
heat that he has no energy in reserv.
for handling the hay, and SO he lets i,
lie, sometimes two and three days, be.
fore carting il from the field. He
claims that the hay is better for being
bone dry and that bleaching it is nc
detriment. This man makes hay all
summer, and drags through dog days
as best he can, but tired all the time.
Both these men have hay to feed and
sell, and botn ask the same market
price for their surplus hay, and both are
classed as farmers
There Is little question which pays
the best. In the good old times when
words were fewer and more expressive,
farmer was called a hlsbandman, and
the meaning of husbandry was irugali-
ty, economy and thrift. A husband
man was a mated-man, and one who
possessed and saved things. A thrift
less husbandman was as much a misno-
mer as u wiieless one. There is great
deal of tagging and fancy farming now
a-days that won't stand the tests OF
common sense and a fair balance sheet.
"In all labor there is profit" said the
wise King of Jerusalem. and useful ag-
ricultural labor wisely directed is prob
ably no exception to this rule. The
style of profit is a pretty good style for
for farming. -SpringGetd (1iass. } hepu6.

Contrasts in London.

Mr. John Swinton, of New York, was
abroad last summer; and in a lecture deliv-
cred last week, he said: II attended the
service of the Church in gorgeous West
minister Abbey, decorated with thousands
of monuments and names of the famous
and Infamous dead! The preacher descan-
ted in mellifuous oratory upon the dogmas
of his religion; the deep sounds of the organ
swelled through the aisles;: the. fine voices
Of the young choristers rose to the vaulted
roof; and the canticles and gospels seemed
enriched by the genius Of the holy place.
1T was near midnight one murky night Of
the same week that I walked through the
Strand; not far from the shadow of tho an
Gent abbey; and there beheld a spectacle
Of moral and social desolation-a surging
mass of thousands of foul and putrid crea-
lures of both sexes-the women bedizened,
and leering, and shameless, the men reek-
ing with effrontery. Such spectacles we're
to be seen that night in many other parts of
London, and how appalling there, then,
must be the volume of human ruin-ruined
young English women and young men,

How She Got Into the Department.

correspondence OF Atianta tt1a.) HepuDucan
One bright morning last spring the Hon.
John Sherman was sitting in his office when
suddenly bright haired, pretty girl dashed
into his presence. She was apparently l6,
and had about her an air of business which
even the cold gaze of the Ohio statesman
could not transform into maiden fright, or
furry. Deliberately taking seat, the girl
| said: ''Mr. Sherman, have come here to
geta place." There are none vacant, !"
was the reply. II know you can give me a
place if you want to, andI think [ am as
much entitled to it as anybody. My father
spent his life in the Uuited States army,
and when he died he left nothing. The re-
sponsihility of the family is on me, and
think I've got ss good claim as any one else
| on the government" what kind of place
do you want?" II don't care what it is, but
I must have work at once."r Mr.. Sherman
assured her there were ten applicants for
every one place, and there was very little
chance. She very deliberately told him
that such an answer wouldn't do, and de-
clared that if he would allow her she would
come up every day and black his shoes, if
he couldn't do better for her. The Secre-
tary was struck with her determination and
charmed by her bright face and sprightly
manner. He told her to come back. In
less than a week she had good place in
the Treasury, which she still holds. Every
morning she walks to the department with
the step of q business little woman who is
proud that her delicate hands can be the
support of others. She receives $500 a
month and supports in comfort her mother
and sister. This brave, bright young
woman is Miss May Macauley, formerly of
Atlanta. Her father was Lieutenant in
the Eighteeth Infantry.
