Imnortnnee of Thoroughness.

One of the most useful lessons a boy
can learn, whether on the farm or else
where, is to do well whatever he under
takes. There is growing tendency in
all departments of labor to slight the
work, to get along with as little manual
labor as possible. Every progressive
person welcomes the substitution of the
use of machinery whenever it is posi-
BILE for human labor, but whenever
manual labor must be employed we
would insist upon its being well done,
We would also insist upon any machine
used to facilitate work being so adjusted
as to be the best of its kind, and capable
of being run with the smallest possible
expenditure of power.
Aids in farm work are seldom auto
matte the use of animals, or of machi-
merry, demands individual thought, skill
and careful attention to detail. Even
in the employment of horse or an OK
it is important that the teamster or
plowman should so drive the team or
attach it to the plow that the power
shall be economical to the best advan-
tage. Careless indifference is an offset
to the best mechanical appliance. The
economic value of cart or wagon may be
lessened materially by neglect in oiling
the axles. In hundred ways may
careful thought and study add to the
power of team or machine.
1t is never too early in the life OF a
boy to form habits of care-taking and
thoroughness. There is an enormous sur
plus power stored in the strong, active,
healthy boy, and if directed in proper
channels it is capable of becoming an eff
cient force on the farm. A reckless boy
will almost certainly become a reckless
man. Caution and Thoughtful considera-
ton of matters in hand increase by cul-
tivation, hence the Importance of incul-
eating correct principles in the youth
! full mind.
The practical education of boy were
| better confined to a few subjects,
thoroughly mastered, than superficial
/ knowledge of multitude of facts. To
/ do few things we'll is of more import
ance to youth or man than to perform
all work slightingly. Proper attention
to little things, a place for everything
and everything in its place, are impor-
tant items in farm economy. Many
bows and hired men have q provoking
way of carelessly throwing down tools
and implements where last used, and
when subsequently wanted not knowing
or remembering where to look forthem'
Beside the damage to the tools from ex-
posure, the loss of time in hunting them
up is very considerable.

The Telegraph in Arctic Exploration.

The Telegraph in Arctic exploration.
1t is suggested by Mr.. James Gamble,
general superintendent Western Union
Telegraph Company at San Francisco,
that profitable use might be made Of
the electric telegraph in Arctic explora-
tion. His plan would be to use light
steel wire-say No. 20 gauge-weighing
about twenty pounds to the mile. The
wire, coiled on reels, could be hauled
on sledges, either by men or dogs, over
the snow or ice, paying it out as the adj
vance exploring party went along. BY
this means the party would keep in con-
stant communication with their base of
supplies. They would have no cause
for. .uneasiness about getting lost or be-
yond the means of rescue, as they would
be able at any moment to call for aid.
With this feeling of the certainty of re-
lief in case of accident, they would not
hesitate to push their explorations
to distance far beyond what would be
considered safe in the absence of means
of telegraphic communication with the
main body. And should any accident
happen to the advance party of explo-
rers, or should they require further
quantity of supplies, the line of wire
would serve to guide those going to the
rescue straight, to the spot where the
explorers were camped. It would also
serve as a guide for their return, mate
rally lessening the chances of danger
to life and loss of the party. Having
established base of supplies at some
central point, there would be nothing to
prevent several exploring parties being
sent out at the same time in different
directions, they reporting each night to
the central station the progress and
observations made during the day.
Directed in this way the practica-
bility of one route over another
could, from the telegraphic reports
sent in, be determined upon, and
much time that would otherwise be
wasted in vain endeavors to make way
over barriers of ice, be saved. AS hard
frozen ground, dry snow or ice is per.
feet insulator, no poles to string the
wire would be required. It could be
paid out on the snow or ice by the party
as they went along. The generally &C.
cepted theory of those familiar with the
Arctic regions is that the ice is seldom
more than five or six feet in thickness
so that by boring through it with q com
mon drill or through the frozen ground
there would be no difficulty in obtain
ing p good ground connection to com
plete the electric current. It would no
be necessary to carry any battery mate
rial. One main battery at the centra
station would be all that is required
For distance of 100 to $50 miles tel
ephones could beused, dispensing Will
practical telegraph operators. Still, i
might be advisable to have some of tn,
party possessed of a practical knowledg
of telegraphy.
At twenty pounds to the mile 10
miles of wire would only weigh 200
pounds. 1t could be wound on reels il
size easy to handle. The cost of stee
wire of that guage is about twenty cent
a pound, so that the total expense, in
Guiding cost of reels, winding, etc.
! would not exceed $1,000.

wOOdcOck Telegraphy.

On number of occasions I have
closely observed the Woodcock's sys-
tenn of telegraphy The birds mandi-
bles are furnished with extremely sensi-
tive nerves, so arranged that when the
point of the bill rests upon the ground
the slightest sounds are conveyed to its
brain. Standing upon the water-satur-
ated earth of a spouty bog, our bird
utters faint, keen cry, scarcely audible
at two rods distance, then Immediately
lets fall his head till the tip of his bill
touches the ground, and listens atten-
lively. If his mate hears him she
replies, puts her bill on the ground, and
listens in turn. So the love messages
go back and forth as long as the birds
have ANYTHING to say. This sort of
thing usually happens in the soft twi-
lights from May to the middle of August,
though occasionally 1 have seen and
heard it in the broad light of summer
day. In June, 1868, made the follow
ing note "ro-day sketched a wood
cock in the listening attitude. Shall
try to get further studies"
Five years later succeeded in getting
three more sketches and last year (looOl
I got four more. Many OF these and
kindred sketches have been obtained at
the end of indescribable care and labor
The woodcock is so shy, so attentive, so
sensitive, that the least sound will cause
it to skulk and hide--a thing it does
with even greater cunning and success
than the quail. The only way in which
have been able to get near enough to
the bird to sketch its natural attitude
has been to crawl on the wet ground
through tangled weeds and shrubs untll
1 reached hiding place on the border
of its feeding range, and there patiently
and silently watch for its coming Inns
l havedone over and over again for days
together before getting sight OF the
bird. Chicago Tribune

What Is Fame
Is it to visit Europe,

Fame Is il to visit Europe,
Study art while in Rome,
Paint, perhaps, a dozen pictures,
Get your name up and come home
Then TO have the neighbors ask you
When they see your masterpiece,
"Does the lsnack of painting pictures
Take much time and elbow grease ?"
And is it to write poem
Glowing with poetic FIRE,
Full of passion, and the longing
After something better, higher, ..f
Some time read it to the neighbors,
And then, feeling like fool,
Here one say, "I wrote such verse
Very often while in school,"
Fame2 It is to keep on painting,
Keep on writing if inclined,
Till tho world that lies beyond you
Your position has defined.
Is it labor, till your pictures
Are exchanged for 20 much gold
Till your poems, like potatoes,
In the market can be sold.
Aftor you have climbed the ladder,
From the lowest round,
Then the neighbors pat your shoulder,
And your fullsome praises sound.
After having, with your talent,
Learned the money-making art,
Then they say, "We always loved you;
Always said that you were smart"
