a Modest REQUEST.

"Darling, wake up and stop snoring,"
said Detroit woman to her husband.
"Eh Whazza matter now2" he asked
as he half raised up in bed.
wont you please stop snoringP II
you only knew how homesick it made
me I'm sure you would"
"Homesickl How the deuce can my
innocent snore make you homesick?"
"Why, you know, darling, that the
home on the coast from which you took
me joyous bride was only half a mile
from government fog-horn, and every
time you snore it reminds me so of
home that just can't stand it. Please
lie on your side and have some little
respect for my feelings"
And then the brute spread himself
out on his back and in five minutes had
bathed her in tears as visions of the old
home crept upon her.

The Apache Country.

General George Crook. commanding
the Department. of the Platte, was in
command of the Arizona department
from 1871 to 1876, and had during that
time conquered the Apaohes. He says
there we're twenty or more bands of
Apachrs over which Pedro wAs chief.
The Apaches numbered 10000, and
about 6, 000.were hostiles, who lived IN
the White Mountain country. They
were very desperate and fought with
great bravery ard skill. The country
in which they live is almost inaooessi-
BILE. The lava beds of the Modoos, in
which Captain Jack made his remarka-

comparison with the heights and crngs
where those hostile Apaohes live. They
are not only brave, but are the most
cunning Indians on the American CON-
tinent, being for superior to the Sioux
In intellect. They cannot be starved
out, as the White mountains abound in
game, and also the meecsl, nutritious
plant something like the aloe, or CEN
fury plant, which they use for food.

A Word for Girls on the Farm.

\ great deal has been said and written
concerning the rights of farmers boys,
but nothing about the girls. Il is Il COM
mon things for farmers to pay their sons
fair wages furtheir work: yet the daught
ers do not receive Il dollar from month to
month. Why should this difference exist
between the farmers girl and boy? The
former is quite as much entitled to a re-
ward rs the latter. In truth, the farm
crS girl is frequently the more valuable
OF the two. She is expected in many
cases to arise very early, get breakfast,
clean up the house and prepare the other
meals required during the day. CT if not,
to at least largely aid in all the household
duties In addition she is looked upon
by father, mother and brother to enter
tain company--to act the hostess at least
as Il creditablc second to the mother,
and while she may be the pride of the
family and regarded as Il sort of priyi-
legged character, yet much Is expected
from her in Il thousand SmalIc" features
Of home life. Why. then. should she
not be encouraged with at least as much
pay as the boy? In addition to that, the
farm house should b. made rs attractive
as possible-with piano or organ, plcn-
ty of books, newspapers and pictures:
cultivate IL taste il the girl for flowers.
etc These features, with Il moderate
amount OF work, should produce Il happy
and contcntcd home farm life.

The Way of the Read.

The Scientific EaiHjeF says one of the
anomalies i'll American customs is that of
the driverof a wagon sitting on the right
hand side, while he always turns out to
the right when passing another team. 1t
matters not whether he be on Il broad,
safe thorUughiarc or on II narrow lane OF
crowded city street, his seat is the same.
Thus situated. it is very difficult to see
the exposed wheels in passing, those
which require the eye of the driver.
Doubtless this is Il prominent cause of
the many collisions between passing
teams, and the wonder is that more do
not happen. The custom was brought
over by the pilgrims, but like Il Dutch
sentence, the parts got transposed i'll the
translation Across the pond the driver
sits on the right but always turns to the
left. In copying the practice We retained
the useless part and changed the essen
tial. for some unexplained reason. Posi-
bly, our fathers thought to be consistent
in the matter, and rather than be right
handed i'll sitting while left handed in
driving, changed the latter to suit. At
all events, the thing as now practiced is
very inconvenient, and is Il worthy sub
,iect OF reform in this year when reforms
are So 1nuch in favor. And since it is
easier to change our position on the seat
than altering the custom of turning to
the right. let lis henCeforth hand our
friends up 70 the right side of the wagon
while we as driver take the opposite side.

Careless Farming.

California, at this early stage Of her
agricultural history. is beginning to find
out that indifferent farming don't pay.
Her wheat crop has not only developed
enormous proportions, but the quality
has been of the most excellent character.
Her product has reached the great
amount OF 81 600 600 bushels. and has
met with acceptance i'll all the great grain
markets of the world. But it has of
late become an open secret that much OF
the wheat raised on some of the great
farms of California is dctcriorating very
materially in quality and it is believed
that if the same process should be CON
tinued, and the impoverishment of the
land 90 on without check much longer,
there will be Il very material difference
between the value of wheat grown on
old and new lands. Diversified farming
is the only remedy for this condition of
things.
The same evil will develop itself in
some of our Western States if the pres
ent manner Of agriculture practiced there
is continued. There year after year sees
the lands planted with wheat. There is
no attempt at rotation of crops or the
use OF fertilizers The soil is continually
drawn upon and gradually despoiled of
the elements necessary to perfect the
crop planted. But the farmers are anX-
ious to get rich rapidly and care little or
nothing about the cxhausting Of their
soils. The least labor they can get along
with the better they are pleased. Some
of the older States show the same results.
In some portions of New York, where as
many as thirty bushels were at one time
grown on an acre, twelve and thirteen
are all that can now be raised. while the
quality has deteriorated. All these
things will right themselves in time. 1t
takes years to learn the lesson, but we
have learned it bravely in this State.
