The sullivan Farm.

The famous Sullivan form of Illinois
is now a thing of the past. A short
history of this, at our time, the largest
farm in the world; will prove interesting.
Ex-Governor Sullivan was largely con-
nected with Government surveys, and.
through his influence, large tract inl
Ford county, about oae hundred miles
south of Chicago, was entered as swamp
land This tract the far-seeing ex-
Governor then bought at about forty
cents per acre. Just in order to round
out his farm nicely, Mr.. Sullivan bought
a few adjoining sections, and chen had
farm seven miles broad and ten miles
long. Duling the war Sullivan con.
tracted with tine government to pasture
thousands of its worn-down horses and
mules. At the close of the war Mr..
Sullivan turned hi. attention to farming
being guided by the ambition to be the
argest farmer in the world. He owed
his failure to too much disciplin.
His farm wss divided into three sections.
Gangs of forty plows were at work on
each division, If the first plow sustain
ed break none Of the Others could pass
it, but must wait until the damage is
repaired. No ovcrseer must dismoun.
to perform any manual labor, no mat
ter how urgent the demand No secre-
tary must perform the most trivial act
of labor save what properly belonged to
his department. Thus constant loss
was being sustained through delays and
loss of time.
Sullivan had at one time twenty
eight thousand acres OF corn under
cultivation and employed six hundred
laborers. Failing to get sufficient aid
here he sent an agent TO Europe and
brought over Germans and Swedes,
paying their passage and contracting
with them to pay him in work. The
importations would no sooner get their
employer paid than they would leave
him and set up for Themselves. Be-
sides this drawback the farm was being
worked by inexperienced hands, as the
Europeans knew but little of farm work.
The grain was hauled to Gibson, a city
on the Chicago and Alton road, and
there disposed of at few cents per
bushel. At one time three quarters Of
million bushels of corn were market
ed through one sale.
Sullivan made an assignment, his
farm was reduced to twenty thousand
acres, and thOusanda of plows and har-
rows and otEer tools were sold. Next
the remainder of the land was sold out
in small tracts. and few days ago a
Swede made, The last payment on the
last elghts-acre section of the great
Sullivan farm. Ex-Governor Sullivan
was reputed to be worth in 1879 over
3 900. 900. He died insolvent.

and how much elder you look for IT.
Scowling is a habit that steals upon US
unawares. We frown when the light
is too strong and when it i, too weak.
We tie our broNs into a knot when we
are thinking, and knit them even more
tightly when we cannot think. There
is no'denying there are plenty of things
to scowl over. The baby in the cradle
frowns when something fails to suit.

little toddler who likes sugar on his

children, and ''worried to death" about

we can't help it. But We must. Its
reflex influence makes others unhappy;

well as in water. 1t bellies our religion.
We should possess our souls in such
peace that it will reflect itself in our

is ridged with wrinkles before forty,
what will it he at seventy? There is
one consoling thought about these
marks of time and trouble-the death
angel always grasses them. Even the
extremely aged, in death, often wear
a smooth and peaceful brow, thus leav-

tranquil. But our business is with life.
Scowling is kind of silent scolding.

some sort, and straighten these creases
out of our faces before they become

Identity of I:iack and tireen Tea.

Green and black tea are produced
from the same plant, although the Colo
nists were long at issue about the mat
ter. The idea of green tea being dried
upor copper is proven to be a popular
fallacy, for the tea would be favored
and spoiled in the process; beside the
bloom can be given by harmless means.
DR.. Lettsom. by the way, thought
it was given by vegetable process.
Mr.. Ball, who has written n practical
volume, on the Cultivation and Manu-
facture of Tea, describes an experiment
made by him, proving that tea may be
dried black and green at once in the
sans vessel and over the same fire. He
divided the pan, and the leaves of one
side he kept IN motion and the Othe
quiet, when the latter became black and
the former green thus proving the dif-
ference of color to be not derived from
any management of heat, but from
manipulation, the heat being the same
in both cases.
At the same time certain Chinese
rogues glaze our hyson most unscrupu-
lously, and it has been proved by chem
cal analysis that the Chinese green teas
are artificially colored, though not with
indigo, as represented by the green Tea
merchants. We may add that gun-pow-
der tea is dried at the highest tempera-
ture and Pekoe at the lowest, and the
chemical cause of black tea is its loss OF
tannin in its drying previous to roasting.
an opinion that is supported by the tes-
timonv of Liebig. Again, Mr. Ball
thinks there may be one species of tea
plant. but several varieties, and that all
botanical difference is destroyed in the
course of packing.

An carly instance which occurs to
me is in the "Beggar's Opera" Q72O,
where Polly Peachum, l think it is,
speaks of her papa" The modern
change from papa" and "mamma" to
father and mother among the upper
classes, which began about thirty years
ago, seems to have been a reaction
against custom which had gradually
crept in among persons OF a lower grade.
As soon as common peoples children
began to say papa" and mamma
those of a higher class were taught to
say ''father' and mother" 1t was
among my high-church friends that L
first noticed this adoption Of father
and "mother." One does not see the
connection, but suchis the fact. When
1 was young papa" and mamma"
were universal among what may be
called the middle and upper ranks of
society, and to this day ''ledies of GER
tain age" still use the words. King
George I'LL, about the year 1862, ad-
dressed his mother as "mamma = SO l
find in the "Grenville Memoirs. But
I do not think that Charles H., unless
he was speaking in French, ever adj
dressed Henrietta Maria by that endear-
ing name, and 1 feel tolerably sure that
the lady Elizabeth never called Henry
VIII. "papa." On the other hand i
would observe that "paps" and imam
ma" are fast being supplaDted by the
old original ''fatber" and mother. .
FoE ten. or perhaps for twenty, years
last past, children in the upper and
upper-middle classes have, so far rs M
observation goes, been taught to say
''father" and mother, and papa" anG
'.mamma" hich are words of extreme
tenderness to those of my generation
seem now to have sunk into contemp
as n mote of social inferiority.

Thus far The st. Gothard Railway Il

Thus far The st. Gothard Railway has
not yielded very promising revenue.
A foreign exchange says that for the
month of June the receipts were $780,
600, and. assuming that the line is
worked for 60 per cent. of the receipts,
the net income would thus be only S4S,
600, which is only third of the amount
required for interest upon its bonded
debt. In actual fact, the expenses are
probably greater than 60 per cent, fol
h e Lille is extremely expensive and diff.
ficult to work. The line in this country
would not be regarded as Commercial

Backward and forward, to and fro,
The swift-w.nSed swallows come and go:
Above tAe oceans roar
Ihear their cries, as wheeling swift
To where the gathered seeweeds drift,
They dart along the shore.
Looking around, on either hand,
The little cove in which stand,
Isee the frOwRing rocks,
Distorted, broken, wrenched apart
Asby some s0rcerer's mage art,
orby fierce earthquake shocks
Rising and falling, TO my feet
The waves roll In, then swift retreat:
And on their outward way,
Among the pebble. and the sand,
They leave, as II with careless hand,
The spols of many day.

Borne on by mznT restless tide,

Photographic improvement

The claim made recently by III. Albert
of Vienna, of having invented process;
for rendering the natural colors IN pic
lures by means of peculiarly eonstrue-
ted Photographic ste m-prcss-and this
without the aid of pencil-has excited
very great interest, realizing, as If does,
If the statements concerning it be fully
confirmed, the great and long-sought
de.ideratum in Photographic art.
The secret OF this invention, as repre-
senteI in the Vienna journals. consists
in the analysis of the white hight into 8
coiors-ye!low blue and red-and in the
recovery of these three colors ready for
tie operations of the press.
On plate, chemically prepared, so as
to receive but the yellow parts OF the
light, and the tones of the coiOrs OF the
object to be reflected, the first photo
graph j, taken, when negative of that
plate is at once put under the press,
whose cylinder is dubbed over with yel-
low paint. None but the tones of the
yellow colors are now seen in the impress
sion. A ter that, the object is photo
graphed on a plate made to reflect but
the blue colors. This plate now under
the press reflects blue impression, the
cylinder being dubbed over with blue
paint. In the same manner are re-
ceiyed the tones of the red colcrs, by
means of third plate. Printing the
individual pictures of yellow, blue and
red over each other, n picture IS pro-
duced true to nature, the colors inter-
mixing by having been printed over
each other. As to the permanently OF
this kind of coloration-a most impor-
tant point, of course-no determination
can now be made.
