Polish HOspitality.

The Poles are extraordinarily hos
pitable; they entertain without grudge.
AT every table in the large houses some
extra places are laid ready for unex-
pected guests-as they say, "for the
traveller that comes over the sea-" 1t is
possible in Poland to go unlimited to
see your friend, taking your children,
your servants, and horses, and to stay
five or six weeks without receiving any
hins to go. The Poles are fond of
gayety, of amusement, of society; they
love pleasure in all its bright and
charming forms. The country houses
are constantly full of visitors, and in
the winter there is often the "Kulig," q
gathering which increases as it goes
from house to house. 1t is taken from
they get up q "Kulig," wear the peas
ant costumes, very beautifully made.
They go over the snow in sledges from
house to house, dancing for two or three
days at one, and then going on to an
other, taking the people of the house
which they leave with them. At last
there are perhaps twenty ysledges all
full of people, dressed in bright cclors
and singing the songs of the "Kulig. Z"
At every house they dance the charac-
teristic dances of the occasion-th
"Krakomlall," the "Mazur," and the
"Oberek." The first is a very pretty
and peculiar dance, in which the part
ners turn away from each other and
then come face to face; the "Mazur" is
something like the quadrille, though it
is by no means the same; the "Oberek"
resembles a waltz danced the reverse
way, and with very pretty and char
acteristic figure, in which the man
kneels on one knee and kisses his part
ner's hand. They are all most charm
ing. and pretty, and the Poles dance
with enthusiasm as well as grace. They
have many national customs and cere-
monies which are occasions for dancing
and pleasure. Then, in the autumn
and winter, there is boar hunting. In
this way, with these various amuse-
ments, the time passes in the country
houses, and visitors will stay six weeks
or perhaps six months.

A HOME FOR EVERY ONE.
BY BILL ARP.

What the people want and ought to
have are homes and chance-homes
and a living chance. Give q family a
home Of their own and it is the best
safeguard for the perpetuity of gov
ernment and the happiness of people.
/ was always sorry for family who had
no home, but had to dodge about from
house to house and place to place-no
orchard to improve, 10 flowers to love
and nurse, no sacred spot, no castle, as
Blackstone calls it. | don't know how
other people prize it, but my home is the
dearest spot on earth to me and to nay
family. There IS no place like home
not rented home, forever wanting re-
pairs, but a home to live in and die in
which the boys who have found work
afar off can look back to with affection
and revisit with pure delight, and where
the good wife and daughter can plant
the vine and rose-bush and SOW the
flower seed, and the orchard and the
grape-vines bring their fruit in due sea-
son. It won't do to say that the poor
are too lazy to work and buy land and
have house. They haven't been tried.
They don't get enough for their labor
to lay up anything. They are not en-
couraged. Vanderbilt and company
get all they mako over and above q poor
living, and Vanderbilt must be PRO
tected. The trouble is our people have
got hardened to fixing a minimum price
upon labor, just enough to feed and
clothe the family stingily, with no mar
gin for old age or sickness, much less q
house. What does all this mean that
these syndicates are buying up all the
land of the great West, 100000 acres
and 300, 900 acres Ill Texas and large
tracts in Arkansas? Why don't the
United States Government buy it up
and save it for homes for our people :?
The Government gave 100,000,000 of
acres in Texas at one time to wealthy
corporation to hire EN- to build rail-
road-mOre land than is contained in
any four States in, the Union except
Texas, and our statesmen made no pro-
test. The money is all going in the
hands OF few. and SO is the land.
There is a way to stop all this, but when
it Is agitated the itch and powerful cry
OuO etS III ltt11SiII titiII IODbtIN, tlltl IIIC
the press and bride the big men and
scare off the little ones, and so it goes.
What we need are statesmen, not hire
lings. We want fearless men who can't
be tempered with. Let all this surplus
wealth, these bloated fortunes be taxed
to support the Government. After a
man has accumulated 100000 begin to
tax the excess, and the more he accum-
ulates the heavier the rate; and when
it gets up to q million take all the ex-
cess, if necessary, to equalize in some
measure the burdens and comforts of
life and provide homes-humble homes
for the people. 4 man with ten acres
and house of his own, is good citizen
in peace and tower of strength to his
government in time of war. A million
of dollars is enough for any one man.
He ought not to hunger and thirst for
more, for he can't need it and it makes
dog of him to hoard it up. Who has
any respect for such men as Vanderbilt,
or Gould, or Senator Sharon, Sjr even
for the memory of Stephen Girard or
A. [. Stewart? Nobody.-AtlG1ota Con-

How to Keen the BOYS on the Farm.

An agricultural paper asks: "How
can we keep our boys from leaving the
FARM" This Is a national question.
For years boys have shown a growing
inclination to leave the farm and 60 to
the city. OF course there IS no law to
prevent this, but unless this wholesale
deserticn Of agricultural pursuits is
checked, the field Will be overgrown

vented. Our agriculture must not suf-

1t is the youngsters nature to seek
amusement. Life on the farm is not
exciting. The same pursuit. day after
day becomes jiresome IN fifteen or
twenty years, and the youngman natur-
ally seeks objects OF interest. When a
new wagon or a strange horse comes in
to the neighborhood, the Young man
feels thrill, but there are not suffi-
Gent number of new wagons and strange
horses to keep up the emotions of
pleasure. The farm must be made
more attractive. A Kentuckian, some
time ago, suggested to an agricultural
club that in order to keep the boys at
home it would be a good idea to en-
ploy brass band to play In the fields.
The suggestion was adopted and was
successful until nearly every young man
wanted to join the band. Let some
other method be devised. for farm work

greatly impair the quality OF the cream OF tartar,
