The Newspaper i'm u Farm

People who live in the great thor
oughfare, where they have access to
several dailies and a dozen weeklles
do not fully appreciate the value of
newspaper. They come, indeed to
look upon them as necessities, and
they as cheerfully do without their
morning meal as their morning
mail. But one must be far off in
the country, remote from the mad

luxury OF a newsp per. The farmer

has to be thumbed by each member

Since MaZeppa most unwillingly
rode to death the widest Tartar
steed of his period, few such sur
passing featS Of horsemanship have
been recorded in the pages of history
or romance as that to which publici-
ty has been recently given by the
majority of our Hungarian contem-
poraries. Perhaps horSemanship is
scarcely the correct term to apply to
this extraordinary performance !;
deermanship would probably be the
most appropriate word. The other
day, while noble stag OF ten was
being holly chased by the kaposz-
tasmegyerer hounds-a subscription
pack-one Karl Poros, a discharged
hussar, managed to bring the terri
fled animal to standstlll In some
close cover through which it was
forcing its way, and, by an almost
superhuman effort of strength and
agility, to vault upon its back. At
ter several desperate, but unsuccess-
full attempts to dislodge its rider
from his seat, the stag, stimulated
anew to flight by the cry of the fast
approaching hounds, resumed its
course, but soon broke down under
the weight of its unaccustomed
burden aud gave up the ghost
through sheer exhaustion and ter
ror. Poros-at least so the story
goes-was found by the huntsmen
sitting on the carcass of the stag,
which he had literally ridden to
death, and resolutely claimed as the
just reward of an achievement un-
precedented in the annals OF the
chase. To our apprehension, the
most astonishing fact in connection
with this remarkable narrative is
that it does not reach us from Amer
ica.-London Ieleqrdph.

A Wife's Appeal for her
Husband.

WASHINGTON, May 10. - Mrs.
Betsy Mason, wife of Sergeant
Mason, has had an interview with
the President, and made a strong
personal appeal for her husbands re-
lease from the Albany Penitentiary.
The President stated to Mrs. Mason
that he had great sympathy for her
and that the petitions for the par
don of her husband would be laid
before the Cabinet. Mrs. Mason
was very much affected by the kind
words of the President, and was so
overcome with emotion that she
could not speak Her friends, Mrs.
Mary Shannon, spoke for her. The
general impression is that Mason's
sentence will be mitigated in short
time.

Information about Farm
Lands.
From the New York Times.

From the New ork Times.
The recent census gives some val
liable information concerning the
extent and size of the farm lands of
the country and the great increase
of such property within the last two
decades. Illinois leads the list of
States and Territories in respect to
the number of farm lands, and then
come IN order New Yolk, y Missouri
and Pennsylvania. The largest in
crease during the past decade Is
shown in the case of Kansas; and a
gratifying increase is also recorded
In the cases of Iowa, Missouri and
North Carolina. The majority of
the farms vary in size from 20 to 500
acres, the greater proportion in this
number ranging from 100 to 500
acres. California contains some
farms which reach 1000 in extent.
Farming is conducted on similar
large scale in Dakota, Nebraska,
Wisconsin, and some other Northern
States. Large farms of 1000 acres
and over are found in many places
in Louisiana, Mississippi, and North
Carolina. 1t is cited as an illustra-
tion of the prosperity of these vast
farming interests that about rs per
cent of all the farms in most of the
States and Territories are occupied
by the owners, while the remaining
IS per cent are either let at fixed
rentals or cultivated on shares.
