When Madame De Stael entered 8
salon her step was measured and Dig
nifed; a slight diffidence seemed to re-
quire sef-control, as if this passing cloud
of embarrassment had prevented her
from Distinguishing at first the indi-
viduals of the company, her face became
illuminated as she recognized them. A
listener would have supposed she had in
scribed on her mind all their names.
She knew how to compliment without
fattering, 1t was a maxim with her
that politeness is the art of choosing
among ones real thoughts. There were
abundant wit and vivid repartee, but no
ohicanery, and especially no severity in
her expressions.
Her sensibilities we're even quicker
than her thoughts. Society, converse
ton, were necessity of her nature. It
sufficed not that her associates were in
tellectual, they must be animated. She
was never dispirited in talk by the brill
fancy of competitors, but with simple
candor she gave herself to the inspira.
ton of their powers. Piquancy, orig
inality, imagination-these pleased her
above all else-they gave zest to her
mind, wings to her genius.

LAYING TYPE.

The page as received from the founder
should be carefully unwrapped, and,
after having been placed on a galley,
soaked thoroughly with thin soap water,
to prevent adhesion after the types have
been used short time; then, with a
firm rule or reglet, as many lines should
be lifted as will make about an iach in
thickness, and, placing the rule close
upon one side of the bottom of the pro
per box, slide off the lines gently, taking
care not to rub the face against the side
of the box. Proceed then with success
i've lines till the box is filed. Careless
compositors are prone to huddle new
type together, and, grasping them by
handfuls, plunge them pellmell into the
box, rudely shaking them down to crowd
in more. This should never be allowed,
as shaking does more injury to type than
press work. The type left over should
be kept standing on gaIleys in regular
order till the cases need to be again
filed or sorted.

ROTATION OF CROPS.

After thirteen years of practical ex-
perience in farming in Dakota I have
adopted the system of rotation Of crops.
I find that system proves more success
full than the usual practice with most
farmers of raising the same kind of crops
for years on the same spot of ground.
It is a well-ascertained fact that GER
tain, if not all, plants do impart to the
soil through their roots portion OF their
juices. The soil surrounding the roots
of the oak tree is impregnated with
tanning. The poppy exudes through
its roots asubstance analogous to opium,
and the roots Of any plant growing in
water will soon render it turbid. It,
therefore, follows that by continually
planting the same kind of grain on the
same ground for several years in sue
cession, there will become a lack in
the supply of the ingredients of plant
food, and the plant will not be main
tanned in healthy growth. From this it
appears that the reason why a crop, if
constantly grown on the same ground
for series Of years, shows yearly loss
In productiveness does not arise from
repletion of any substance, but rather
from exhaustion. Plants, although
made up of the same primary elements,
yet different species require them in
widely-varying proportions; hence, in
practical view, it is evident that change
Of crops is requisite to successful cult

rotation in farm crops are practiced. Ny
method is to put in an equal amount in
area of corn and small grain, and change
crops every alternate year. I find it
more successful and profitable than the
usual mode adopted. Immediately after
my small grain is harvested and stacked
I pillow my stubble ground, turning un-
der the weeds and grass before the seeds
come to maturity. This leaves the
ground in good condition for corn the
next season, and also makes less work in
its cultivation, as early fall blowing is
one of the best methods of exterminat-
ing weeds. The following spring I
plant this piece of ground to corn, plant
ing as early as the condition of the
ground and the season will permit. I
mark off my ground with commander
one way, and plant it with a two-horse
corn-planter crosswise of these marks,
thereby leaving my corn planted in rows
both ways.
prefer to have it planted in rows
both ways instead of drilling it in one
way, as I find from experience that it
yields full as much per acre, and, by
cultivating it both ways, it leaves the
soil with less weeds in it after crliya

LONDON JOURNALISTIC A11ENE1IEs.

LONDON JOURNALISTIC AMENITIES,
A very sensible departure from a
somewhat absurd custom is taken by
the Daily Ne1cS to-day when it refers
by name to a morning contemporary in
leading article. It is, no doubt, we'll
that the great dailies should scrupu-
lousy avoid the temptation to fall into
polemical methods OF Eatanswill, but it
is carrying a good rule to ridiculous
excess to pretend to ignore entirely the
existence of any other morning paper
but your own. In no other capital in
Europe is so unreasonable reticence
observed, and, as our morning contem-
poraries constantly and of necessity de-
pend upon each other for the material
of their articles, would it not be much
simpler and more sensible to substitute
the name Of the rival print for the OBJ
scure and circuitous paraphrase by
which at present it is alone permitted
to refer to contemporary? There are
exceptions, of course. The Times
once quoted the Daily NelCs war cor
respondence; but such occurrences are
almost as rare as the transit of Venus
and rarer than the appearance of a
comet Pail Mall Gazette.

ENGLISH RAILWAY CARS.

English railway cars generally are
limited to three classes. Each is divided
into several compartments, mostly four,
each compartment being entered by
door on the side, and separated by II
closed partition from the compartment
adjoining. These partitions render i'm
possible the characteristic long halls OF
the American train, and only by means
of small platform extending on the
outside can one section be entered from
another. This platform is also utilized
by the guard in collecting the tickets Of
the passengers, and the same are passed
TO him through the compartment WIN
jows. The cars being entered on the
side, one-half Of the passengers mus!
ride backward, and if the train be full
the four persons who enjoy the window
seats are the only ones who ride with
comfort, and catch even imperfect
glimpses of the scenery through which
the train passes.
The frst-class compartments are the
most expensive of all. The floor is gen.
orally covered with rug which is clean
and new. The windows glIsten and are
tastefully curtained The seats are lux
uriously cushioned.
The second-class compartments, as a
rule, are not much less comfortable than
the first. The floor is often bare, but
clean, the seats are less elegantly up
holstered. A good second-class car in
England or Germany is often more rich
ly furnished than the average frst-class
car in Italy or France; but in either
country cushions, curtains and comfort
are generally wanting in third-class
compartments. In the English the floor
is bare and often covered with dirt, the
windows are dusty and the boards for
seats are hard. On account of the low
rates of fare the mass of the people pre-
fer this class, and the cars are generally
crowded.
Between Liverpool and London, by
the Northwestern Company's trains, for
a first-class carriage the charge is about
SS % in American currency; for second
class, 1925; for third class, only 81.
The third-class compartment, too,
may be on the same car with the first,
or, if not, attached at least to the same
train. First-class passengers are allowed
more baggage than the third, although
in either case articles that can be
crowded under the seat go free. All
luggage is weighed but is never checked,
and for any excess above certain weight
ticket is required.

We trust that none of our American

fascinating Partisan actress. This ad-
venturous young lady appeared on the
course in toilet Of ight-colored Cicil-
ienne, embroidered in most artistic
manner with life-sized cats arranged
around the skirt. The bodice was plain,
with paniers, and at the back the mate
rial was so draped that two tabbies came
face to face, and seemed to be engaged
in mauling each other in the most i'm
proved backyard fashion. The effect
was startling, to say the least, and we
venture to say that the wearer was emf
nently successful in creating a sensa-
tion.-NeaO York Tribune.
