Is Culture q Sham ?

NY Herald.
A great many people whose manners are
irrcprOacllablc and whose lives are correct
have had frequent occasion to feel as a
prominent preacher did last Sunday when
he said that culture at times seemed a
sham. Few words have lost their origi-
nal meaning as completely as this word
''Culture'' has done in late years. Once it
signified, according to the dictionary, ''en-
lightenment and discipline acquired by
mental training" but now it means merely
a smattrring of things of no vital cOnSe
quence to any one. Modern culture claims
that it refincs men and women. If it can
prove that it does this it should he held in
high esteem but experience proves that
ninety nine Onc-hundredths of what passes
for refinement is the tlinncst sort of pol
lsll-a mere gloss that can be applied at
short notice to any coarse, rough or rotten
material without any effect whatever upon
texture. Culture is genuine only SO far as
something is cultivated. A man whose
manner to his intimates is courteous and
to others rude is rot a cultured man he is
merely a bOor who is smart enough to
counterfeit true courtesy. In the best of
men culture is only partial in one the
effort Is confined to manners in another
to the affections some devote most atten-
tiOn to their intellect, and few men
specially cultivate their moi al sentiments.
Any one of these has as good right as any
other to he considered cultured. A care
fui training of taste results in culture of
taste and nothing else, for correct taste is
quite Is often found in discourteous, dis
honest. selfish and immoral persons as in
any others. All the dress, upholstery,
music pictures, bric-a-brac and blue china
in the world cannot impart culture to any
qualities but those that are attracted by
these things and the literary sugar plums
that pretend to bo the whole Of literature
arc equally ineffective outside oftheir own
particular lines. The sooner the present
generation realizes this the sooner a most
disasreeable class Of hypocrites will pass
away. Culture, to be thorough, must
begin at the bottom, and the foundation
of all human improvement is personal
character.

Mistakes in CaltIvAting and Handling TC
baccO.

A tobacco grower, writing from Red
Oak, Brown county (the Ohio White Bur-
Icy district) says As we are approaching
another season in which the farmers are
making an effort to produce an increased
acreage Of tobacco in this county, having
had several years experience in cultivat-
ing and handling the weed--by your per-
mission, | will offer few suggestions, as
to the mistakes that 4 great many farmers
make, in cultiv:ting and handling same.
There has been SO much said and written
on tobacco culture, and each one has
theory Of lis own differing from every
one else, | shall only touch two or three
points which consider to be the most i'm
pOrtaEt.
1. We cultivate too many acres. In to-
baccO, as in other crops, We should learn
how to make it pay best with the least
amount of labor and destruction of soil.
We plant double the number Of acres the
labor is capable of producing, the result is
that great portion Of the crop is next to
worthless. As the supply and demand
fixes the price to great extent, it is very
important to produce III article to meet the
demand, and Il good article always finds a
ready market. Now how are VIC to get a
good article of tobacco is the important
question. Suppose instead of eight acres,
VIC plant four acres Of the best section
then we have the advantage of the soil to
start with next put most of the labor in
tended for eight acres ON the four, to work
neatly and thoroughly, be on timo and you
will find plenty of time to breathe freely
once in Il while, and not always in a fret,
and by times completely swamped.
.. We mistake in topping too high ::
four out of five top from three to five
leaves too high. Low topping produces
larger leaves, moro body and firmneSs,
more weight and takes less labor, and
ripens earlier, thereby escaping frost.
). The larger portion of our farmers cut
and house their tobacco before it is thor
Oughly matured: tobacco should stand
six or.scven weeks after topping, unless
injured by spots. A great many suppose
that by housing early they get rid of a
large amount Of labor in wOrming and
suckcrins, forgetting that suckers come
but twice OH one leaf, and ripe tobacco is
never ini iurcd by worms il kept clean
while green. Tobacco cut green is chaffy
and light lacks substance, richness, and
flavor, although it is often smotb-
cred in. In topping, there can be no
positive rule, as soil, condition, growth
and weather have something to do with
it. We are too apt to think it great
waste to take out considerable portion of
top. by closely following the above sug-
gestions, l think it possible to make as
much money from one acre as is some-
times produced from three, and that S
wilat we are aftcr-at least We can have a
cror that we will be ashamed of when
the shippers come round to inspect it and
the yellow leg chickens. To sum up
plant less. cultivate thoroughly, top low,
let it get ripe, don't crowd in tho barn,
take pains. and you will in the end be
amply paid for your trouble.

shoots him with his rife, the cayote
and the dog,that try 10 run him down,
and the Governor Of Texas, above al
luded to, who libels him in his book.
He has two ways Of protecting HIM
self against his enemies. One way IS
10 squat, when he suspects danger, and
folding his ears along his sides. BY
doing this he often escapes obserya-
ton, as only his back is exposed, the
color Of which harmonizes with the
brown Of the withercd grass. The
other plan that he uses when discov-
cred and pursued is to create remote
ness between himself and the pursuer.
In giving his whole attention to this
matter, whom necessary, he lisa stupen-
dous success and earnest 10 a fault.
When disturbed he unlimbers his
long legs, unfurls his ears, and goes off
with a bound. He generally stops
after running a hundred yards, and
looks back to see if his pursuer is en-
jOying the chase as much as he
thought he would, and then be leaves
for parts unknown. There arc many
fast things, from an ice boat to a note
maturing in the bank, but nothing
equal to a jack rabbit. An unfouud-
ed rumor gets around pretty lively,
but could not keep up with him for
two blocks. When an ordinary cur
dog tries TO expedite a jack rabbit, he
makes a h~umiliating failure of it.
He only gives the rabbit gentle ex-
%ercise. The latter merely throws up
his ears and, under easy sail, skins
leisurely along, lacking occasionally to
give the funeral procession time to
catch up. But if you want to see
velocity, urgent speed, and precipi.
tated haste, you have only to turn
loose a greyhound in the wake Of a
jack rabbit. Pursued by a greyhound
he will let himself out" in a name
that would astonish a prepaid half
rate message. II he is a rabbit that
never had any experience with a
greyhound before, he will start off at an
easy pace, but as be turns to wink de-
~risively at what he supposes to be an
ordinary yellow dog, he realizes that
there is a force in nature hitherto
unknown to him, and his look of
establishment, alarm, and disgust, as
he furls his ears, and promptly de.
clines the nomination, is amusing.
Under such circumstances he goes too
fast for the eye to follow his move
meuts, and presents the optical illu-
sion Of a streak Of jack rabbit a mile
and a half long,

Texas and of some other Western
States. He is often called the mule.
cared rabbit" and, by the cowboy, is
familiarly spoken of as the "muley.''
He is not a rabbit at all. A rabbit is
an uuobtrusive little animal, who is
found by school boys, in a hole in the
ground, at the end of a long track in
the snow. The so-ealled jack rabbit
is quite a different kind of soup-meat.
He is identical with the British hare,
except that he is larger, his color
lighter, and his ears much longer. His
avoirdupois is about twelve pounds,
and his ears measure, from tip to tip.
about sixteen inches. He does NOT
burrow in the ground. He lies under
cover Of a bunch Of prairie grass, but is
very seldom found at home, his Office
hours being between sunset and sun
rise. He is to be found during the
day on the open prairie, where he feeds
on the tender shoots Of the mesquite
or sage grass. He is not a ferocious
animal, as a stranger might be led to
suppose from an examination Of what
purports to bs his picture, under the
alias Of THE Texan Hare" in Gov
ernor Roberts book.
I The jack rabbit has several enc
mics, among them the cowboy, who
