Tame Grasses-Association.

Cor. Kansas Farmer.
Kansas is progressive State. She has
again and again taken the lead of her
sister States east of the Mississippi river,
not only in social and national reforms,
but also in large crops of the various
products Of the soil. Now, we think the
time has come when Kansas farmers
should form an association for the test
ing and cultivation of all the best species
of tame grasses and forage plants. Your
excellent editorial of January the I'd
should attract the attention of every
stock raiser, fock-master and farmer in
the State; and arouse them to the neces-
sity of organizing now.
1t has always been a matter of surprise
to me that the intelligent and enterpris-
ing farmers of Kansas and other sister
States have never had an organiZati ID
for the cultivation of, and experimenting
with tame grasses and forage plants. We
have numerous associations for the in
PRODUCTION and improvement OF horses
cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, bees, etc.
but have not one In our midst for the
improvement and advancement of the
most important group of plants, whose
seeds and heritage furnish the principal
portion of the food of the race, and the
races of animals under our control. Are
there any ready and willing to unite IL
forming such an association? If so, LEI
them speak out through the pages O.
your excellent and progressive paper.

smartes' dog on de plantation will some
times bark at a boiler, and AFTER

"A few white mice are what John
n. Lee, a Baltimore contractor, now in
Cleveland, Ohio, claims separated him
from his wife. Lee arrived In that city
with his wife last Fall, he having con-
tract to pave street. The couple lived
in boarding house. One day, accord
ing to Lees story. he was standing in
front of a bird store when a woman
stepped up to him and said she would
like to show him some white mice.
Being deeply interested in the subject of
white mice Lee went home with the
woman and saw the white mice, but his
wife got wind of the affair and dispute
arose which caused separation. Lee
says he is worth $4,000, and Is perfectly
willing to support his wife, but that she
IS working in some private family and
he cannot find her. In reporting his
case to local charity society, in hopes
of getting track of his wife, he drew a
razor and took solemn oath that if he
did not see his Mary in two days he
would end his earthly career.
lola is to have new militia.

FATHER BLANKS VISITOR.

Why a Salesman of PriestIy Cloth Was
Brusquely Treated.
New York Times.
He wore a business air and a brown
derby hat as he stepped blithely out of
light wagon in front of the house of the
pastor of st. Peters church, in Barclay
street. In brisk manner he rang the
bell and asked a pretty, but somewhat
self-important, little maid-servant if
Father --, the Curate, was at home.
The curate appeared-a priest with a
face expressive Of an open heart, but an
earnest and determined spirit.
"Ah, Fatherp exclaimed the visitor,
extending card between the thumb and
first finger of his right hand. ~ am a
salesman. have some cloth just fitted
for clerical wear, and have called to
show it to you. It is corkscrew material
and will not get glossy. That is it's
special merit. The coats of priests usu-
ally become shiny from cassocks worn
over them"
as he spoke Father IS face became
red. When he had done the priest said,
with a tinge of bitterness in his tone: 81
have everything 1 want in this world
except one"
"And what is that?" the visitor asked.
"It is a grip on the collar of the last
man who sold me cloth. hope you are
not a friend of his Good-dayp
The priest regained his natural jollity
and sat down to tell reporter of the
Times about his previous adventure with
a cloth seller. "He came in here about
a week ago" said Father -, 'and in
terested two of my brethren in the goods
ne had for sale. They are judges Of
cloth. am not. They said his cloth
was good He offered to sell material
for two suits for 500. Then he came
down to $50. The cloth, he said, haC
been sent from England to Boston ex
hibition, and had taken prizes there
The makers did not care to have it sem
back, and as the were Catholics told hin
to sell it cheaply to priests. 1 looked a
him sharply when he said that, for
distrust persons who speak in that man
ner, but he was apparently very busy
unrolling the cloth. l told him I would
take the cloth he displayed, and ht
threw in a small remnant of serge, which
he said would make Summer cassock
He went away in hurry. The tailo
who was to make my two suits found
less than four yards in the piece"

The French Cook.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The French cook, who is deemed the per-
lection of culinary artist by the fortu-
nate uninitiated, is, after all, but a COM
mon mortal, with the same weaknesses
and failings as her less celebrated sister
in other lands. Familiarity breeds COM
tempt, and cooks, like prophets, seem to
be without honor in their own country.
According to the leading French papers,
the French cook is dishonest, wasteful,
untidy, and, worse than all, she can not
cook. The juicy roast and the multitude
of dainty dishes for which she was once
justly celebrated are now things of the
past. 1t is only in provinces, at the
hospitable houses of priests and clergy,
that the last specimens of the vanished
race of efficient cooks are to be found.
But, take one Of these modest and skill
full artists ''up town." be patient with her,
even though she breaks your old Saxon
dinner plates, instruct her carefully, and
after q twelvemonth the stout, ruddy,
country maiden adorns her face with
rice-powder wears high-heeled boots and
trimmed bonnets, and degenerates
to the level of the Partisan cuisinier. If
you gently hint thatsome improvements
in the cookery would be pleasantthing
she leaves you to enter your neighbOr's
service, where 5 francs de plus are offered.
"Servantgalism, as the Americanssay, is
much the same all the world over.
