ever fought took place in 1908, between
two Frenchmcn. OF course the Quarrel
arose about a lady, y certain Madcmoi-
sell Tirevit, who, it appears, could not
decide which man she preferred and
with some vague idea apparently of re-
viving ancient custom, she agreed to
marry whichever worsted the other.
The ardent lovers postponed their COM
bat for a month, that they might feel
quite COOL" and then agreed to fight in
the air Two balloons were made
exactly alike, and upon the appointed
day the rivals, each with his second,
took their places and scared aloft, agree

each others balloon, for which purpose
they were armed with blundesbusses.

"A Vermont father had lazy, shift
less son who everybody said ought to
have gone out and fed swine on small
salary, but who refused almost to feed
himself. Everybody agreed that he
was a good-for-nothing, and one day
the old man ambled him out of the
house on the toe of his boot. The boy
went away and invented the lemon
squeezer, and in one year had enough
money in his pocket to buy his old dad
out ten times over. He made alto
gether $4,000 from his patent, and the
man he sold to made 800, 900 in three
years. There are two morals here.
Kick your boy into the luck, and then
kick him again to keep him from selling
out at too low a price.

The City Farmer.

When formerly a city man who had
made his "pile," and, as he drove
through the country and became fas-
cinated with the beauty of the growing
crops and things in general, would make
up his mind to try his hand at so pleas
ant a business-his actions were care
fully watched by the old farmers and
his many blunders laughed at. He was
not satisfied to have things after the
fashion of the general farmer, he must
have them all much nicer and better,
and then he couldn't help but succeed.
He bought imported cattle, sheep, swine,
chickens and what not, the finest and
most expensive implements and farm
machinery, some of which had scarcely
been read of by agriculturists generally.
He hauled his manure from the city by
scores of loads; guano was applied pro-
fusely and everything done on scale
that threw all his neighbors entirely in
the shade. When they protested against
a great deal of this useless expenditure
and waste of labor he would reply that
he had his own ideas abo1t matters and
things, and as he thought they were an
improvement on the old fogyisms of the
day.. he would try what he could do,
having no doubt of his entire success,
and others would be glad to follow him;
but no success followed, at least, not in
the shape or to the extent expected.
The next year was still less satisfactory,
as several of his fine cattle died from
overlooking. The following year the fly
got into his wheat so as to leave not
more than one stalk standing where
there ought to be twenty. The worms
destroyed his apples. His potatoes rot
ted. Some rowing, worthless dogs killed
or mangled twenty of his Southdown
sheep in single night. The lightning
burnt down his barn. Hence, at the end
of five years he found that there was
neither pleasure nor profit in farming
in fact, he was quite sure of it. His fam
lily complained, too, of being away from
the city, from their friends, from par
ties, operas and theaters, and were ter
ribly tired, anyhow, of the country.
Papa, therefore, backed by his family,
who had come out with such eagerness
into the pure atmosphere of the hills
and valleys, sold out everything at half
its value-houses, lands, stock, crops,
household goods and everything else,
root and branch, losing from 81, 200 to
$4,000, and went back from whence he
came, wiser, if not richer man.

Cruelty to Fish.

Talking with a gentleman of eighty
four years, few days ago-a man of
great experience in practical life, and
withal one of humane instincts and
principles, we gathered many interest
ing suggestions and ideas, that would be
worth repeating. Among other things,
he referred to a lifelong practice he had
always observed. In catching fish, he
never failed to kill them Immediately
upon drawing them out of the water,
which is their natural element. Every
boy knows this fact, yet hardly one in a
hundred stops to think that living fish,
deprived of the peculiar means of respi-
ration that the water furnishes, must
suffer similarly to a human being cut off
from it's usual supply of atmospheric air.
Death by suffocation is regarded as ter
rible, and a fish out of water, being de-
prived of the oxygen that sustains its
blood, doubtless suffers intensely. 1t is
the easiest thing to kill a fish, either by
striking it slight blow upon the head,
or by cutting its throat. 1t is we'll
known that the flesh of animals wounded
and left to die, is unfit for food, and ex
perienced fishermen say that fish
should be killed Immediately on being
caught, in order to render it fit for the
table. But aside from the question of
food, the subject should be considered
as one of principle. We know by the
fierce struggles of the captive fish it is in
severe pain, and humanity dictates that
it should be speedily put out of misery.
We have no right to inflict needless suf-
fering upon any creature. axd the tor
ture of fish is quite as bad as the tor.
ture of dog or horse. Nearly every
day during the fishing season may be
observed boys carrying large strings of
fish through the streets, the movements
of which show that they are alive and
in great pain and misery. In most cases
this is the result of thoughtlessness or
ignorance Most boys would dislike to
be thought cruel, and if they were in
structed by their parents and others on
this subject, would probably follow the
rule of humanity in the treatment of
fishes, as they do in the care of domestic
animals. We trust our young friends
VINO read this article will not only follow
these suggestions themselves, but will
try to induce their companions to do
likewise. Humane Journal.

Love Letters.

Political economists, says an ex-
change, do not approve of love letters.
Nautilus and such like grumpy old char
acters condemn lovers and all their do
ings in the lump, and love letters are
naturally included in this sweeping dis
approval. But things are evened up
by the fact that lovers, on their part,
when they happen to stop in their love-
making long enough to remember that
such things exist, are just as decided in
their condemnation of political econO-
mists. And the lovers, under all cir
cumstances, are ready to affirm unhesi-
tatingly that next to talking about love
to each other. writing about love to each
other is altogether the most perfect joy
that earth affords. While the love let
tiers are fresh and new, just off the fire
as it were, even other than political
economists are prone to regard them as
lack-wit utterances which are instructive
only in that they show how abstract of
reason the head of man may become
when the heart of man is overfull of
love. The billings and cooings being
set down on paper are viewed by an un-
prejudiced third party with a contempt
that may be light and good humored, or
that may be cold and cynical. Yet let
these same love letters be kept for
while, and how changed does their
condition become-how different is the
feeling that reading them will arouse!
The lapse of five, ten, fifteen years will
not affect their meaning: but when they
have been laid away for half century
or more the hallowing influence of time
will have done its work-will have made
what once was commonplace, even
ridiculous, sacred. There is such pa
thetic contrast between the pale ink, the
frayed and faded paper, and the fresh
tumultuous heart beats which tremble
in the written words; between the prom
ises of eternal constancy of love that
never shall grow cold and these dry
wisps of paper which have yet left in
them more Of warmth and life than sur
vive in the eternal love that has grown
temporal in death and is chilled forever
in the grave! And even when not sane
titled by years, love letters take on them
q new and serious complexion when one
of the lovers is dead and gone. There is
such an excess of vitality in what is
written that death seems almost unreal
sonable; fact that has asserted itself
in the face of an impossibility, and this
is staggering because it is so utterly I'M
expected and incomprehensible. And
yet the love letters which are thus rever-
enced in no wise differ from those which
political economists condemn and the
rank and file of humanity make free to
scott at. The change in the tenor of
the criticism is not the result of any
change in the facts; it comes because
those who criticise are swayed by q GER
tain tenderness of heart that can not
come to out meet living love, but that a
in that this feeling exists universally
there is ground for believing that the
political economists are all wrong--that
even the humblest love letter, when en-
nobled by the sorrow that comes with
death, is holy thing, since it is the out
pouring of the profoundest instinct
known to the human heart.

How to destroy weeds Is the great
question with every cultivator of the
soil: for if it was not for these pests
farmers and gardeners would have an
easy time of it, keeping down weeds be-
ing the most expensive operation in the
whole routine Of plant culture. The
best advice we can give is in the old
Ovidian phrase which may be trans
lated. "Meet and resist beginnings,
whether the weeds be ANNALS, biennials,
or perennials. The old English saying
that "one years seeding makes seven
years wedding" is a very true one and
well worth remembering. Had our
farmers throughout the country paid!
more attention to the little patches of
strange weeds which occasionally ap-
reared by the roadsides or near their
harms and outbuildings they would not
now be obliged to fight them by the
acre. or abandon some of their best
fields to the pests. There is certainly
M nlant known that can not be de-
stroyed by constantly disturbing its
roots or cutting off the stems and leaves.
Even the Canada thistle will soon die

can only be produced by the aid of the

Petroleum in Napa Valley,

c. Cutler has mountain ranch on Dry
Greek, eight miles northwest of Napa, and
while working ont slide on road on this
ranch some two months ago, he rolled out a
chunck of blue clay, weighing some fifty
pounds, that was saturated with petroleum,
This set him to thinking and he investigated
further. Below the surface and for distance
OF twenty feet along the bank he found the
clay and decomposed rock, as well as the air,
impregnated with oil ; there were traces of il
In various places in the neighborhood, and it
was found standing on the surface of the water
in the creek above. Mr.. Cutler then went TO
San Francisco and got an oil expert, who had
formerly lived at Oil Centre, Pa, to examine
the premises. This gentleman, after carefully
inspecting the place, declared that the indica-
tons were of the best, and that he was willing
to stake his reputation on the statement that
there was oil there in large bodies. Whether
this is the case or no we shall soon know, as
steps are being taken to work the prospect
