Small Farms Pay Bsst.

New York Herald.j
The Governor Of Florida reports
that the tendency Of the sgricultur-
lists OF that State is towards small
farms. This is good news. and it is
to be regretted that other States are
not as wide awake as Florida. In
California the farmers who earn most
money per acre are those who have
20 or 80 acres in grapes and other
fruit. The richest New York farmers
are those who have grown berries and
added every year an acre or two to
their pear orchards, and the most
profitable farms Of all are those within
. few miles Of this city, whose mana-
gers bank considerable money yearly
nom the sale Of vegetables grown on
. few acres that are hired ct rentals
sometimes reaching three hundred
dollars per acre per annum. One man
who bought an up-river farm OF @
acres twenty years ago has for years
averaged $1,000 yearly On The yield
Of pear trees that he planted himself
But the American farmer generally
seems to imagine that humanity needs
only wheat, corn and pork. 90 be ct
tempts to raise these on q largo scale,
while the vegetables and fruits on his
own table are purchased at high prices
in city markets. The farmer should
learn to eat something besides meat
and bread. He should also learn that
the people who do not own farms IRE
willing and anxious to buy whatsoever
vegetable products may be ct to sat.

The Raleigh News and Observer
says: The total debt of the United
States on July /, 1882, was 81, 675,.
O23, 474; on August 81, 1866, it was
$2,766, 49, 71. In seventeen years
we have reduced the debt more than
one billion Of dollars. In 1865, the
debt was s78.25 for each person in
the United States; today it is but
S31.72. The interest charge to each
person in 1865 was $4.29; now it is
$1.O9. Ten years from now the debt
will hardly be more than SIS per
capita, and the interest charge hard.
" moro than sixty cents per capita.
The gross receipts of the govern
ment this year win be over $780,
600, 600. That is eight dollars for
every man, woman and child in the
United States, or $40 for each fami-
lily. But then we all know that some
families pay but little Of this; so the
ordinary family pays at least $50
tax to the United States. In addi-
tion to this, the tariff operates to
raise the cost of living enormously.
We estimate that the tariff tax adds
to the cost Of living of an ordinary
family between $500 and GOO per
We're it not for these high
taxes and the high price of manu-
lectures, &C., we all could live for
greatly less than we now do.

Kiss Ne Good Bye, Dear.

That is . phrase heard in the hall
way OF many . home as the man OF

change daily labor for daily bread in

it is the wife who says il, sometimes
infant lips prattle the caressing words,

Kiss that is it's warm sunshine of life,
and the strong man waits q moment
to clasp his treasure and is gone; and
all day he wonders at the peace in
his heart; at the nerve with which he
meets business losses, or bears bust
ness crosses. The wife's kiss did ii,
the baby's kiss did il. and be realizes

Would we not remember that the re-

No matter what reason you may
have for stopping drinking they are
pretty sure to be good ones, says the
New York Herald. Senator Garland
said of himself: 81 began to calcu.
late, after thinking Of the matter for

concluded that I had drank about a
barrel and half of whisky in my
lifetime, which was twice as much

bid to myself that if I drank any
more I should be drinking some
other persons whiskey, and as I
didn't want to do that I stopped.n-
If you have not yet reached your
barrel and half you ought to re-.
member that generosity is one of
the virtues. Magnanimously give

it, and you win find that it pays to
be kind to people instead of demand.

The Difference Between 4 Cyclone and q
Tornado,

Tie difference between a cyclone and
t,rnado is defined By Mr. William, Ferris Of
The United States coast surv-y to be this:
"A cyclone is usually broad, 1T, Byrating
'lsk of atmosphere, Very much greater III
width than altitude; n tornado is column
RI gyrating air, tie altitude cf which is sew
era! times greater than its diameter. Cy-
clones are born Of con Siiicr5 extendlr.
over large areas; tcrEadoes depend rather
upon the vertical relations of the atmos-
phere. and occur when, owing to local
changes Of temperature. ths under strata Of
air bursts up through the everything strata.
The enormous vel C :ias OF tie ascending
currents OF tornadoes are supposed to be
caused By the difference between the gy.
rating veloci!jes above and those on the
sur:sce. 1t is these ascending currents
Shlch carry up the vast bodies Of water af-
terward precIpitated IN the form of deluee
4 rain. The water Is sometimes
Kept from FILLING by the ascending
currents, aud IL often protesting outside
the area of the tornado, when it fails IN
gentle shower over IL l. r3er area. Wneu
the weight of the wstor overbears the fo,ce
Of the ascending currents, there occurs the
tremendous fall ofra;n known Gs cloud
hurst. When the area Of q tornado is very
small. land spout or water spout may be
formed. according rs it is over Land ard VA
ter. Tie width of these spouts ranges bs-
tween two fe.t and 900, and their height
rom 80 to 500 rect. A white squall is
IN invisible spont formed when the dew

invisible because of its height. but below

Frcn, the Genoa Courier:
The avalanche that came down the noun.
tains at Genoa, Nevada, last Thursday
c1orn'u8 was OF great ex eat. Occurring es
it did at $50 In the morning. when most
II the people were IN bed, the wonder is
that most t the residents Of the town did
not lose their lives The first intimation
he people had was q rumbling sound like
that Of an earthquake. Bells re runy.
and cries for assistance passed Yong the
streets by those who were up. The fl,oe
cama down the gorge Immediately south OF
Genoa Canyon aud swept everything before
it rs far as Main street. No obstacle
checked this moving mountain of snow uu-
i'll it Ppread out and lost its force on the
nearly level piece of LAND IN which Genoa
is built, full quarter of mile from the
base Of the mountain.
At this time 1t is Impossible to estimate
che 10 g OF property. Everything is chaos.
Broken lumber, splinters Of furniture, pine
and fruit trees, hay, clothing. kitchen ware
aad bedding are distributed through
body of snow and ice from ten to fifty feet
in depth and several feet across. The
ALoog" building, which stood nearest the
mountain, WAS occupied by Indians driven
from their wigwams by the severity of the
stern. As near ss can be ascertained but
seven were in the house at the time Of the
catastrophe. No trace Of the building can
be reco! !nized, and as yet no search has
been made for its occupants.
Next came the residence aud barn of Min
cred Bowers, which was completely crushed
to pieces and carried into the adjoining lot
Of D. W. Virgin. Minerod and his wife
wer, found still in their bed and almost on
'op Of the snow aud debris, both dead.
The residences of D. ". Virgin, W. D.
Grey and that of Fl. Boerlin were on tho

"os completely demolished. The occu-
pants were Mr.. and Mrs. Boerlis, their tvo

Rose Eytinge's divorce from George

been quickly followed by the report Of her
marriage to Cyril 6earil. No defencs was
