Farmers Read This.

From the Washington Observer
We publish elsewhere another suicide
by farmer. 1t does not surprise us.
Indeed we have so often spoken of the
isolated, juiceless life of the average
farmer that it never seems strange
when one Of them hangs himself or
goes crazy. Farmers need more fun,
more books, more music and pictures,
more flowers, and more social life, or
else it is only question of time with
most of them. Dixmont has had 33
blacksmiths, 80 clerks, l3 lawyers, II
butchers, 81 doctors, 70 carpenters, %
printers, and so on, but she has also
had no less than 5S5 farmers, l54
daughters of farmers, 1919 wives Of
farmers, and 81 widows of farmers. In
other words, since Dixmont has been
opened about 1000 inmates have been
treated, and of these one thousand
went from the farms.
No people on earth can live so hap
PLY, none have so much real pleasure,
none have the same opportunity for
enjoyment, and yet to take mortgage
off their farms they put a mortgage on
their minds. Remember this. ye who
who never dance, OF sing, or play, or
visit, or have fun, that fourth of
the inmates of Dixmont to-day are
from the farms. Knowing this, pitch
in and raise little fun. 1t is cheaper
in the end than board bills at the mad
house.

And then followed the wedding, a
quiet affair; after which the newly
married couple moved into a new
house with all conveniences and sur
roundings on Wilson avenue. Little
Nellie was now four years of age: q
bright-haired, bright-eyed lass, the GEN.
tire of love and affection.
In the meantime George Eastwood,
under the careful nursing of kind phys
icians, had regained strength and rea-
son and was preparing for the surprise
that he was SO sure his arrival home
would cause. Sleeplessly he travelled
by night and day until he reached the
city he had left over six years ago.
He approached the little home he had
left, but found only darkness Cruel
ly disappointed, he asked neighbor
for information and received from his
lips the cruel, crushing tale Madly,
wildly, almost desperately he rushed
away and an hour later, when the even
ing shadows were settling over the
home of his former wife, pale, atten-
uated face peered in the curtainless
window and read the truth of the story
that had been told. But the newly
welded wife never knew the awful fact
and the heart-broken and depressed
man quietly left the city. A day or
two ago, in an obscure corner of little
Western journal, was recorded the
suicide of George Eastwood, former
Clevelander. But no one appreciated
the terrible experience the victim had
passed through, and but for the knowl-
edge of the facts by well-known West
Side gentleman, who yesterday gave
them to reporter, they would in all
probability never have been given to
the world.

Circus People.

The average intelligence of circus
people-aside from the laboripg men
is very far above the general estimate.
Those Immediately connected with the
executive department, who have to do
with newspapers, railroads, city au-
thorities and hotels, are men of usual
intelligence, education and experience
in their respective lines, and the sala-
ries such people commanded in former
times served to draw into tie business
the best financiers, advertisers, book
keepers and purchasers money could
secure. Within the past few years the
character of men in these depart
ments has improved very consid-
erably SO that now persons posses
sad OF the highest order Of commercial
intelligence freely offer their services,
and managers, finding more agents
than there is demand for, retain the
best and pay these much smaller
salaries that they formerly had to.
Still. there are some men whose sala-
ries run as high as $1,000 in one in
stance, and quite a number of men re.
ceive as much as $25O0 for the season
usually six months in length. Oh
late years quite proportion of per.
formers come from gymnasiums, and
many of these have been young men
who have impaired health by too much
study and find in circus life the physi
cal exercise necessary to health and the
qualification of desire to travel in
culcated by reading or ths pamadic in
stinct so natural To the young.

History in the Jones Family.

From Detroit Post and Tribune.l
"Pa, asked Willie Jones, as he was
studying his history lesson, "who was
Helen Of Troy ?"
"Ask your ma" said Mr.. Jones, who
was not up in classic lore.
"Helen of Troy" said Mrs. Jones,
who was sewing new heel on the
baby's shoe, was girl who used to
live with US; she came from Troy,
New York, and we found her in an in
telligence Office. She was the best
girl l ever had before your father
struck Bridget"
"Did pa ever strike Bridget ?" asked
Willie, pricking up his ears.
81 was speaking paragorically." said
Mrs. Jones.
There was silence for few moments,
then Willie came to another epoch in
history.
"Ma, who was Marc Anthony"
can old colored man who lived with
my pa. What does it say about him
there ?n
at says his wife's name was Cleopa-
tra."
THE very same! Old Cleo used to
wash for US. It's strange how they
come to be in that book"
History repeats ITSELF" murmured
Mr.. Jones, vaguely, while Willie look
ed at his ma with wonder and admira-
tion that one small head could carry
all she knew. Presently he found an
other question to ask.
"Say, ma, who was Julius Casar?"
"Oh, he was one of the pagans of
history" said Mrs. Jones trying to
thread the point of her needle.
"But what made him famous" per-
sisted Willie.
Everything" answered Mrs Jones,
complacently; "he was one who said,
Eat, thou BRUTE when his horse
wouldn't take its oats. He dressed in
a sheet and pillow-case uniform, and
when his enemies surrounded him he
shouted Gimme liberty or gimme
death, and ran away"
"Bully for him!" remarked Willie,
shutting up his book of history. "But,
say, ma, how came you to know 80
much? Won't l lay over the other
fellows tomorrow, thought"
"I learned it at school," said Mrs.
Jones, with an oblique glance at Mr.
Jones, who was listening as grave as
statue. II had superior advantages.

what I heard.n

A few peach trees from seed shoul'
be on every farm. They will give
great deal of satisfaction when they d.
bear, and take little room when they d,
not. Seedlings from Early Crawford
are likely to give hardy as well a
good varieties The Wager is alst
quite reliable as well as Amsden an(
Alexander.
No fruit is more profitable will
proper care than the ounce. The
trees must be sheltered from cold winds
and protected from the frost. This
last can be done by liberal mulch o.
coal ashes. The ounce is easily prop
agated by planting cuttings six inches
to foot long, set in good garden soil
The trees must be we'll cultivated to be
of special value. 1t is impossible to
get good crop of ounces from trees
grown in green sward. The best
variety is still the old Orange.
Among the new humbugs, or new
things that will soon be discarded, are
the Kieffen pear and several Of the new
varieties of ounces. The only new
pears now needed are very late winter
pears of the first quality a D'Anjou
that will keep till May. The Josephine
de Malines and Beurre D'Aumberg are
excellent, but the latter is not a good
market pear. A pear that will not
blight when all others do is a hopeless
acquisition. A pear thus advertised
may be pronounced a mistake at the
mildest The best plan is to plant the
very best varieties and keep them well
trimmed and thoroughly mulched.
1t is astonishing as we'll as painful
to observe about the country how
many young orchards have been plant
ed and then neglected until hopelessly
diseased. After suckers have grown
freely about young tree for two or
three years the vitality is so much
lowered that it will never, by any
nursing, become a sound, vigorous
tree.
Any one wishing to plant small
yard of grapes for home use, will not
20 amiss on the following list: Della
ware, which still retains its position,
Duchess, Herbert, Lady, Prentiss,
Agawam, Brighton, Lindley, Worden,
Rogers 80, Walter, Wilder, Martha,
Massasoit. Of the newer ones | am
convinced that Virginius and Pock-
lington will hold a high place. The
same list will make good one for a
vineyard of a larger size. The
two best grapes when ripened
with US are Goethe and Iowa; but the
Goethe / cannot easily get to ripen,
and Iowa is decidedly too tender. We
want grapes that can stand our climate
without being covered every Winter.
have given up the whole business OF
Winter protection and have quite as
good success as before. The Isabellas
occasionally kill back as also lowas,
and the Delaware is not always quite
safe.
There are two rules in planting fruit
trees, or for that matter any trees, that
cannot be too carefully applied. CD
Always cut back the limbs sharply. Ii
the tree is large cut away nearly all
the top. So in planting evergreen
hedges down with them shear away
half or two-thirds. (2) Mulch heavily;
mulch everything mulch always.
