Good Living Easily Got.

In q recent communication to the San
Francisco Bulletin. Mr.. J. B. Rum
ford, of Bakersfield, Kern County, Cal,
asserts that O man can earn enough
there by fifteen days of " ordinary
labor" to keep him in the best of food
for year. IEe says: 81 find that three
of us, a growing boy of seventeen
years, my wife and self, do not alto
gether use ON an average more than one
and one-half pounds of wheat or other
grain per day, and though supplied
with Seckel, Winter NeIlis, and other
pears, peaches, apples, Muscat grapes,
and other fI.uit-not more than eight
pounds of fruit per day-thus making
total expeneo of 2t cent is for grain and
16 centsfEc lit per day. So we have
total of 49, vents per day, or $4,000
per year, or 1920 for each person; and
as wages here for ordinary work are
81. 80 per day Gf you board YOURSELF, it
would take less than fifteen days labor
to provision each one year on full
supply of the best grain and choicest
fruits, giving the best health and gusta-
tory pleasure and as in the experiment
we used them all uncooked, the only
work of preparation necessary to be
performed was few minutes time each
day preparing the grain in a steel hand
mill, not equal to more than five min

ST was, in two weeks, completely cured
of dyspepsia, that has troubled me

Any one, from one acre well cultivated

THE principal amusement in rural
New York this winter is guessing at the
weight of a hog. The guessers pay
fifty cents a chance, then they guess,
and the man who guesses nearest the
correct weight takes the hog. At a
village near Croton Lake last week one
hundred and twenty-three men took
chances and four men guessed the exact
weight-five hundred and eighty-nine
pounds. Thus does the cultured orient

lFrom the French Of Gustave Nadaud.l
I'm growing old; I've sixty years.
I've labored all my life in vain:
In all that time of hopes and fears
I've failed my dearest wish to gain.
I see full well that here below
Bliss unalloyed there is for none,
My prayer will ne'er fulfllment know
i never have seen Carcassonne,
l never have seen Carcassonne!
You see the city from the hill;
1t lies beyond the mountains BIZ,
And yet to reach it one rrSust still
Five long and wear leagues pursue,
And, to retp--n, as many more!
All! hcd the vintage plenteous grown!
Inc grape withheld its yellow store;
shall not look on Carcassonne,
l shall not look ON Carcassonne!
They tell me every day is there
Not more nor less than Sunday gay;
In shining robes and garments fair
The people walk upon their way.
One gaZes there on castle walls
As grand as those of Babylon,
A bishop and two generals
do not know fair Carcassonne,
do not know fair Carcassonne
The wears right: he says that we
Are ever hayward, weak, and blind
He tells us in his homily
Ambition ruins all mankind:
Yet could there two days have spent,
While yet the autumn sweetly shone,
All me might have died content
When had looked on Carcassone.
When had looked on Carcassone
Thy pardon, father, beseech
In this my prayer if offend;
One something sees beyond his reach
From childhood to his journeys end.
My wife, our little boy Afghan,
Have travelled even 10 Narbonne
Ny grandchild has seen Perpignan,
And 1 have not seen Carcassonne,
And have not seen Carcassonne
So crooned, one day, close by Limoux,
A peasant, double-bent with age.
:" Rise up, my friend" said he with y,
T'lgo upon this pilgrimage"
We-left next morning his abode,
But Heaven forgive him y halfway on
The old man died upon the road:
He never gazed on Carcassonne.
Each mortal has his Carcassonne!

he never turns his back to his enemy, starting

time in the life of this pugnacious fellow when the
years bring him more bone and muscle than he

self in a very tight place; his shoes pinch him
and he begins to realize the practicability of ap
plying to Dame Nature for more room or house

homeless, but is provided for suitably as was the

more happily served than the old sailor was an
