BRAINs.-The prime requisite for profit
able farming is brains, and the word is
used to signify the possession of thought,
reflection, comparison, observation, dis
elimination, sagacity ,>capacity, power of
mind, &c. Out of these grow energy, ac-
tivity, desire, hope, pride and ambition,
the acquisition OF which requires study
and application. They originate ideas
and suggest plans-they discriminate or
judge differences, and highly cultivated,
lead to the best results, which we call
success. Can any forego the ambition of
rising higher? If there was nothing else
to gain, it would be glorious that we can
if we will know 80 much
Corn PLANTED. The estimated area of
the corn crop for the whole Union is
about 65,OOO,OOo acres. At one quart per
acre of seed-corn, the planting required
1925, 900 bushels, which, at so cents per
bushel, was worth $4,O62,5OO.
COTToN AFTER PoTAToEs.-The truck
farming business is likely to revolutionize
farming in more ways than one. The
great Irish potato crop has prepared a
great deal Of land for intensive cotton
planting, and we rejoice to see our apt
agriculturists so soon profiting by the ex-
perience of the few who lead the way in
following the vegetable crops with cot
ton. The truck-farm will do away with
the large cotton fields, but not with the
yield and profit of cotton.
The WILSON STRAwBERRY.-A writer
in the Rural World is overwhelmed with
surprise that people will stick to the old
standard Wilson Albany, when there are
so many far superior berries in every re-
specific Captain Jack, for instance,
which the writer grows, while he frankly
owns that the Wilson will not grow with
him out in the Northwest. But he should
come down South and pit his Captain
Jack against the Wilson, and then be
will see why people stick to it. There
are finer berries, but when all the Others

Few of those who read the cable news
in regard to the French difficulties with
AMMAN have any distinct notion of the
location, extent, physical characteristics
or history Of so-caled kingdom, or en-
pire, which extends between the Tooth
and lO9th degrees Of longitude and be-
tween 8 degrees 80 minutes and % de-
grees 80 minutes north latitude. This
empire" has an area of about zoe, 200
square miles, while its population is l5,-
100000.
The portion of the Indo Chinese penin-
sula which belongs to the "empire Of
AMMAN, is somewhat similar, in some re-
spects, to Italy in its shape, with noun
tain range running along the whole
length, about thirty miles distant from
the sea coast, and long and large river,
the Cambodia, draining the western slope
timber, ebony and other valuable woods.
They are the natural homes of hardy,
but idle people, who maintain their own
aboriginal customs and are more like the
Malays than like the Chinese.
The portion of AMMAN that is best
known to the world and to commerce is
that at the lower end of the empire, which
has always been called Cochin China, and
which includes the rich delta formed by
the outflow Of the Cambodia The French
hold on the country was due wholly to
the heroic daring, devotion and enterprise
of the French Jesuits, who are now per-
secuted by the same French government
which is SO indignant about the ill-treat-
ment Of French Roman Catholic mission
aries by the emperor Of AMMAN.

ing story of the loss of the wife of one
of South Carolina's honored Governors.
In the name of that Governors kinsman.
W ashington Aston, the South claims it's
share in the renown Of American painters.
Aston was in Rome when Vanderlyn Wis
tied Europe, and in the classic CITY the
two painters, from the different sections
of their country, lived together in the
closest intimacy.
Perhaps the prison memories of Rich
mond and the allure of his hope of res
cue in South Carolina, as he passed
through or horseback under guard after
his arrest, and the act of the stalwart
guardman in reseating him upon his horse
when he was dilatory in resuminp his
journey at the point Of expected release
and tho tears he shed as he rode alone, ~
mis- humiliation, these .eou..~ ~
have caused painful reluctance to visit
his daughter in her Southern home, and
prompted the appointment in New York.
One OF the great pictures of Wander
lyns earlier time was "Marius Seated
Amid the Ruins of Carthage" For this
he was awarded the gold medal at the
Louvre in 1908. Perhaps it was in this
picture, though it may have awakened
pangs in his soul, that Burr saw the genius
he was willing to foster in Paris, so far
as his fallen state had left him vestege
of influence
Nanderlyn's "Aiadne Sleeping" was
such masterpiece that in merely copy
ing it Durand, the American engraver,
was awarded by tn. critics the credit of
having accomplished a work "equal to
anything done by The greatest line-en-
graver of England"
Perhaps "Marius" was Vanderlyn's
first great picture, as columbus was
his last. How strong the contrast in in
cident! "Tell the Pr;etor," said Marius
to the messenger WHO was sent to him in
his Punishment, chat you have seen
Caius Marius fug tive, sitting amid the
ruins Of Carthage" What desolation
there. The mind Onceives easily the ad-
juncts of that scene. A great epoch of
time-the fall of dark curtain upon the
history of continent.
The landing of Columbus, with the
proud banner Of Spain uplifted over the
portal of new world bounding hearts,
the side group scrambling for the imag-
mary grains of sand mingled upon the
beach; not ruin, but bright skies and
hearts exultant that the great discoverel
was right, paying loyal tribute tc
him in the moment Of his triumph-these
are the strong points of the great picture
If one could possess the memory o.
having seen Michael Angelo working
with his chisel upon some pinnacle of St
Peters, he could not have a pleasure
greater than that afforded by having seer
Vanderlin upon his swaying stage, per
petuating his conception of the landing
of Columbus. CD.

BiIl Nye's Translation of the Last
Lament of the Indian Maiden.

People of my tribe, the sorrowing
widow of the dead Ouray speaks to you.
ohe comes to you, not as the squaw of
the dead chieftain, to rouse you to war
and violence, but to weep with you over
the loss of her people and the greed of
the Re'fi fiafih4r afihrFt I olorauv, v,v. WINS, .vv~,
mountains we have rOamed and hunted
in the olden time is now overrun by the
silver-plated Senator and the soft-eyed
dude
We are driven to small corner of the
earth to die, while the oppressor digs GO
pher holes in the green grass and sells
them to the speculator in the cities toward
the rising sun.
Through the long, cold winter my peo
pie have passed, in want and cold, while
the conqueror of the peaceful Ute has
worn 250 night-shirts and filled his pale
skin with pie.
Chipeta addresses you as the weeping
squaw of great man whose bones will
one day nourish the cucumber vine. Ou
ray now sleeps beneath the brown grass
Of the canyon, where the soft spring
winds may stir the dead leaves and the
young coyote may come and monkey DER
his grave.
Ouray was ignorant in the ways of the
pale face. He could not go to Congress
for he was not citizen of the United
States. He had not taken out his second
papers. He was a simple child Of the
forest, but he stuck to Chipeta. He loved
Chipeta like hired man. That is why
the widowed squaw weeps over him.
A few more years and shall join Ou-
ray-my chief, Ouray the big Injun from
away up in the gulch. His heart is still
open to me. Chipeta could trust him,
even among the smiling maidens of her
tribe. Ouray was true. There was no
funny business in his nature. lie loved
not the garb of the pale face, but won my
heart while he wore saddle blanket and
look of woe.
Chipeta looks to the north and the
south, and all about are the graves of her
people. The refinement of the oppressor
has come, with it's divorce and schools
and gin cocktails and flour bread and
fall elections, and we linger here like a
boil on the neck of fat man.
Even while | talk to you, the damp
winds Of April are signing through my
vertebrR, and I've got more pains in my
back than conservatory.
Weep with the widowed Chipeta Bow
your heads and howl, for our harps are
hung on the willows and our wild goose
is cooked.
Who will be left to mourn at Chipeta's s
grave? None but the starving papooses
Of my nation. We stand in the gray
mist of spring like dead burdocks in the
field of the honest farmer, and the chilly
winds of departing winter makes us hump
and gather like burned boot.
All we can do is to wall. We are the
redskinned walters from Wailtown.
Colorado is no more the home of the
Ute. 1t is the dwelling-place of the bo-
nanza Senator, who doesn't know the diff
ference between the plan Of salvation and
the previous question.
Chipeta cannot vote. Chipeta cannot
pay taxes to great nation, but you will
be apt to hear her gentle voice, and her
mellow racket will fill the air till her
tongue is cold and they tuck the buffalo
robe about her and plant her by the side
of her dead chieftain, where the south
wind and the sage hen are singing.

In this spacious, cool. elegant, light,
airy and cOmmodious retreat are congre-
gated not only the seven wonders of the
world, but seventeen thousand other Won
ders too numerous to mention and enough
to set you crazy, and whose rare and va

the crowned heads of Europe, but have
caused some of them to get up before

storm, in order not to miss the show
Here we have the Rocky Mountain Sar-
danapulus, the Sacred Horned Toad of
Texas, and the Tabooed Woman, with
her hair done up in a gill net.
Here we have the Bedouin chiefs from
Bagdad, just as they appear on the sandy
plains of Sahara, eating prickly pears
and drinking mares milk; the Patago-
nian giant, who is nine feet high, and
talks Pennsylvania Dutch in his stocking
feet; the fat girl and the living skeleton
the bearded lady and the freckled-faced
farmer of the Franklin Flats the black
boy turning white and the white boy
turning black. I'll be honest with you
about this curious freak of nature, ladies
and gentlemen, for the fact OF the whole
business is, it's just this way: When he ii

Here we have the bumped backed buz-
zard OF the Ganges; the wild men of
Chicago, captured after long and fearful
struggle, in which they sand -bagged nine
teen OF the ships crew and picked the
Captains pockets; birds of beautiful
plumage and appetites like a hired mans );
artless apes, and the man with the iron
jaw, who eats hotel beefsteak every fif-

thousands of other attractions, are now
open to your inspection for the ridiculous
sum of two-bits Children under ten
years, fifty cents a bunch.
