The snb- ject was mentioned by Governor Long in his annual address to the general court last year. He referred to the great number of errors in the returns and the need of means of correcting them ''so that the manifest will of the people may not be denied by the gross carelessness of their servants.

Bell an ex-member of the Legislature, had trouble with a negro, and finally, with the aid of two companions, took him to stable, tied his hands and feet, and gave him furious horsewhipping. The negro brought suit for damages, and, although there were some conflicting stories, Bell ad- mitted the whipping, defending it only by saying that the negro had insulted him and then made a motion as if to draw pistol when he approached with whip, and the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff with $75o damages.

Rotation Of Crops.

In a well planned system of
farming, the subject of crop rota-
tions should be carefully consid
cred, as one of the essentials ele-
ments of success in it's highest and
best sense. 1t seems to be the pre-
vailing opinion that the alienation
of crops, in systematic order, is a
modern invention that was gradu
ually developed as a direct result of
the applications of science to the
art of agriculture. The earl y writ
ers on agriculture, even from the
time OF the Greeks and Romans, have
however, quite uniformly urged the
advantages of a succession of crops
from the teachings of experience.
They were satisfied that a variety of
crops grown in succession, all other
conditions being equal, would give a
greater aggregate yield than could
otherwise be obtained. The rea-
sons for the success of the system
could not, it is true, be given, but
practical men were fully agreed in
urging its importance, and many
systems of rotation, more or less
perfect, were planned, some of which
became the prevailing rule Of farm
practice in particular localities
That these practical rules of alterna :
ting crops of different habits and
growth are based on correct, but
not fully explained, principles, has
been shown by direct experiment.

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Suggestions Of and for the Season.

1t is difficult to tell just what kind
of weather November will bring.
We are likely to have hard frosts,
some snow storms, and a foretaste
of the coming winter. The fine,
mellow weather of October often
fingers, and a long Indian summer
may allow the doing of a large
amount of out door work. All in
all, this is a month when much may
be expected in fair weather and foul,
and therefore it is all the more
necessary that every good day be
taken advantage of, and every bad
one be provided against. Should
any of the work that properly be
longs to last month, be still unfin-
ished, such as sowing winter grain,
husking corn, etc, it should be
pushed to completion at once. The
wheat that is sown in early Novem-
Der often does well, though late
sowing has nothing in itself to
recommend it. Rye may be sown
so late, that there is only time, be-
fore the freezing weather sets in, for
the plant to get fair start. Corn
husking can be done in the barn at
any time, but it is more pleasant
and profitable to do this work in the
field during warm weather. Much
grain is thrashed in this month,
partly because the thrashers were
not earlier available, and the work
now is not so pressing. Some
farmers suffer from not speaking for
the thrasher early in the season.
Those with large grain farms may
have their own machine, and thus
be independent of those who go from
farm to farm Farmers with only
small amount Of grain, may do their
own thrashing by hand, and thus
make good use of stormy days.
The Importance planning for work
for days when the help must be in
doors, should be more fully appreci-
ated. There are many things about
farm that may then be done in
doors with great advantage. There
are tools to be mended, painted, and
put in good trim for the time when
they will be needed; harnesses to be
cleaned and oiled; grain to be
famed; wood to be split, and many
other jobs that can be done as well
when it rains, as during the bright
est sunshine.-Amerlcan Agricul-
turist for November.

A Husbands Love.

1t is easy enough to win a hus-
band. Most any attractive little
dumping with bright eye and
coaxing voice can gather in noble
husband, but he is pretty difficult to
retain. Noble husbands are thicker
than hair on a dog, but the grand
difficulty is to draw out their true
nobility and secure it at home. II
the wife only understands her bust
ness, she can introduce the sooth-
ing racket in her new field of oper-
ations, and walk away with the
whole business. Most men like to
be loved and soothed. There is
something in the man great, rough,
earnest nature that can be won
quicker and easier with gentleness
and pie than by the logic of the
broomhandle and a bilious course
of reasoning with bread and milk
diet. We have seen a girl who I'm
derstands her husband take a re-
formed road agent by the nose, so
to speak, and lead him through life
in such a way that he wouldn't
know but what he was boss of the
ranch. So perfect was the delusion
that when she asked him to bring in
scuttle of coal, or get up in his
night shirt and kill a burglar that
he knew was mother but a bobtailed
COW four blocks away, he always
went, and he felt as though he
counted it mark Of special favor
that poor unworthy worm of the
dust, like him, should be delegated
to chase lame COW across nine va
cant lots with an old barrel stave,
and clothed in nothing but little
brief authority and knit under
shirt. We cannot exactly describe
this magic power of n devoted wife
over her husband, and we do not in
tend to try it
1t is an unseen motive, a nameless
leverage that makes the husband
get up in the dead hour of the
night and set the pan cake batter
near the parlor stove. A man
need not think that because he gets
up and looks for burglars in the
night and is otherwise obedient,
that it is because he has no back
bone. 1t is simply because he is a
husband of woman of whom he
ought to be proud.

A Ranorter,a Work.


1t is generally supposed by the
world at large, says a sympathetic
contemporary, that the lot of re
porter is happiness itself. He is
envied by the rich and the poor, but
especially by the boys during cir
Gus time, as he is supposed to git
in for nuthin'," which is big thing
in the eyes of the gamin. There
are those beside the gamin who
think he wears a magic slipper that
carries him safely past all door
keepers and ticket sellers; that he
sports a charm about his throat
that brings forth free beer and bug
juice ad ibitum; that he has brass
plated cheeks which are passports
even into the skeleton closet of the
household, and that his conscience
is pliabls and his disposition so
mercenary that it is but necessary
to cross his palm with few paltry
shekels to turn his calumny into
praise and his facts into fancies.
But alas and alack! Truth
stripped of the imagery with
which it is frequently clothed often
times would not be recognized by
its own mother. Behold the naked
truth.
In order to get the facts with
which to construct his numerous
articles, he must travel, on an aver
age, five miles a day, or an aggre-
gate of 1900 miles year. During
these perambulations he asks sew
eral thousand civil questions and
gets several thousand uncivil an.
swers; gets fired out of offices and
houses; has dozens of doors slam
med in his face; is asked 10000
questions, and returns as many
short but civil answers; gets in the
circus once on promise to give 4
big send-otf; is button holed 1900
times by parties who desire to i'm
part a good item about themselves;
is let into several political secrets
by candidates, which are bare
faced boosts; is boosted By the
same candidates because he didn't
publish the secrets; is welcomed
wherever his pencil viii put money
into peoples pockets or give them a
little nororiety. However, he pays.
5 cents a glass for beer, full rates
for board, top prices for clothes,
either walks or pays full fare on
street cars.
While others are enjoying the ope-
IA, the social party, the circus,
prayer meetings, lectures, game of
poker, turn on the roller skates or
marching with a political club, the
reporter is wrestling with mass of
chaotic facts and endeavoring to get
them into shape for you to read
while you quietly dispatch your
good warm breakfast.
He gets to bed at 3 o'clock in the
morning, and between the annoy
ances of flies, noisy chambermaids
and pencils of sunlight boring into
his eyes, he does well to get seven
hours sleep by the time he is
aroused at noon to get his breakfast.
At / o'clock he reports at the of
flee and begins the same old round
of duties. But, taking one consid-
Grafton with another, the life of re-
porter is not much worse than
that of a street car driver, after all.

New Short Dresses.

There are four new and stylish
costumes, all of which will be en-
ployed in making up fabrics adap-
ted to the promenade, the house
and more ceremonious wear. One of
the group will especially be popular
for cloths, flannels, camePs-hair and
soft suitings generally, in combine
ton with velvet, plush corduroy and
other heavy fabrics. Its skirt is
short and narrow-all of these cos
tunes have skirts of walking length
and its overdress is in polonaise
style. The front drapery is like a
''half-handkerchief'' section plated
up at the ends, and is joined in an
oblique seam to the body portion,
which is like a deep, plain basque.
The back drapery is arranged to fall
in n corner instead of its original
square outlines, and the fitting is
done in the most superb manner by
darts, cores and seams, extra widths
being allowed at the eXtremities of
the back seams to fold under and
give the requisite fullness. A deep
adjustable shoulder-collar with far
ing ends and handsome, rounding
outline, is sewed to a standing
collar with Piccadilly corners, and
will be worn in lieu of a wrap about
the shoulders when the weather
will permit. When two materials
are introduced in the construc-
ton the collar will match the skirt,
and very deep cuff facings of the
same will be added to the sleeves
If any trimmings be added to the
skirt it will be very narrow, and the
drapery edges will not be over elab-
GRATED, fiat bands, braids of stitch
ings being the utmost of the garni-
lures admitted for them.
Another of these costumes is like
a polonaise in having long, tab-like
slides that slope away from the ter
mination of the center seam just be-
low the waist line. In front ofthese|
tabs the front forms a double pointed
vest, and between them, at the back,
n full, rounding drapery descends
upon the skirt. \ sash of ribbon
is visible between this drapery and
the tab at the left side, and large
pockets, a deep notched lapel collar,
and standing collar and s. rist facings
are included in the decorative acces-
series, which may contrast with or
be like the remainder of the cos
tune The skirt will often be
trimmed with plaits to appear as if
it were in a kilt style.
Another costume has a double
breasted basque that flares in "
shape at the termination of the
closing and descends in two double
box plaits at the back. The most
approved effects of dart and seam
are visible in the adjustment of this
basque, and envelope-shape pockets
rest upon the side backs. The
sleeves are long and may be
handsomely finished with shirred
and rufiled ornaments overlapped by
cuffs, or with any of the various or
namental fancies that come to the
mind Of the IN ker. The skirt is
gorcd at the front and sides, and has
4 full breadth, over which falls a
boufiant drapery effectively arranged

The old strawberry beds should
be kept clean of weeds, removing all
runners not needed for new plants.
New beds may be set this month,
but there is very little gained in
point of time over spring planting
unless "potted plants are used.
These are plants from runners which
have struck root in pots of earth,
set under them; by removing the
earth with the plant there is no
checking of growth, and fair crop
of fruit may be expected the follow
ing summer. There is gain in set
ting ordinary strawberry plants in
the fall in that the soil is in better
condition, and that the garden and
other work is not so pressing
Black berries aad raspberries start
very early in the spring, and should
be planted in the fall. If it is de-
sired to propagate the black caps,
and few varieties of the red, the
canes must be bent down and the
earth placed on the tips, which will
then soon strike root. Most red
raspberries and blackberries may be
propagated readily by suckers" or
shoots which spring from below
ground. The currants and goose
berries may be pruned as soon as
the leaves are ready to fall. Propa-
cation is done by cuttings planted
in rows with one bud above the sur
face. If put in early, they will form
roots before winter sets in. The
gathering of grapes is an important
operation, and is best done with
scissors made for the purpose; this
avoids handling the fruit, which, by
removing the 'bloom," Injuries the
appearance and therefore the sale.
