Lazy People.

How is it that lazy men manage to
make mark in the wOrldg The poet
Thompson wrote some Of his best verses
In bed. The philosopher Alcott, of
Concord, in this State, was, l am told
by an ex-Concordiau, very indolent
man when in his prime. They used to
say in Concord that the Platonic phil
osopher would gently acquiesce in the
doing of all the hard household work
by his daughters, who have since come
Co fame. But his mind was far, far
away with the philosophers of India or
Germany. Thoreau, / am convinced,
was just lazy. He liked to loaf and
invite his soul seven days in the week.
The same ex-Concordian tells me that
II 1t had not been for the surreptitious
conveyance of baskets of provender to
the hut Of the hermit out on the shores
of Lake Walden, Thoreau would have
starved. 1t is easy to play indie
pendence of the world when your sis
ters fry doughnuts for you and send
you cold corned beef on the quiet. Ex-
Governor Kent of Maine, now dead,
was an easy-going man. When stu
dent of Harvard he was President of the
81 azy Club,n and one day was actually
seen running across the college campus.
After suitable delay, for the Lazy Club
could not hurry an thing, he was tried,
and his plea, which had to be accepted,
was that he had been pushed by some
one and was too lazy TO stop himself.
Another slow goer was the late Hon.
Ensign Kellogg of Fittsfield. He was
brilliant man, of great strength Of
al IN
latest being that of commissioner under
the treaty of Washington. He could
have been Governor and almost any
ting else, but he would rather put on
SLOUGH hat and go a-fishing than ex-
ert himself overheard. Another public
man in this State who has been nearer
the Covernorship than he will ever be
again is so lazy that his friends can not
poke him up to any work, and he vege-
talesin asmall town, smoking and read
ing papers and books. Keen wits, bril-
liancy Of mind. and extraord nary tai
ents seem continually coioined with

But, after all, lazy man is TO be adj
mired in these rushing, toiling days
when heart disease is on the increase,
and men watch tine flicker and drop

A rough sketch, generally of some
comic subject is the attraction. 1t is
drawn on white paper and fastened on

the best view of the picture, cries the
artist, as he stands and winks at the
passing stream OF girls, many of whom
seem to know him andfavor him with a
smile or nod of recognition.
The artist is queer-looking person,
and would form q good subject himself
for some cartoonist. He is young, not
over seventeen years old, but large for
his years. His face is very red and the
features coarse; but the expression of
his eyes gives him jovial appearance.

and in this respect he does not seem to
have any taste or desire to look neat
He wears an old SLOUGH hat, encircled
by leather strap, which is thrown well
back on his head, and the long locks of
neglected hair fall in confusion over his
brow. He has an old coat under
which peeps bingham jacket H 8

Requirements Of Crops.

Every kind of crop requires certain
elements common to all to be in or adj
ded to the soil in order to be grown in
perfection. When we supply to our
long cultivated soil potash, phosphorc
acid and nitrogen in sufficiency. we
have, with the addition of what the
lands will supply, the elements ess n
tial to the successful culture of any and
all farm crops. Stable manure con-
talns these fertilizing elements in the
best known form for application to our
land. Every fertile soil contains enough
of the aforesaid constituents to produce
one or more good crops; but every
crop taken from the land reduces the
supply till at last we come to an ex-
hausted (worn out1 soil, similar to what
has occurred to thousands of acres in
all OF our oldest settled farm sections,
where the land has been cropped in cot

eral years, answer all the requirements
in regular rotation. But the ques-
ton comes up: How shall we
feed our land, with stable manure
or with commercial fertilizersP From
my standpoint, l answer with stable
manure, il one can obtain or make
enough. Leave the commercial fertil-
izers as last re sort or to feed the one
crop. Their proper place is in connec-
ton with stable manure, similar to the
dessert following the principal dishes
Of dinner. Some tell us: 'iEach crop
must have its own peculiar food and in
proper proportion" When we hear a
person talking in that way we may con-
clude that he is getting beyond his
depth or his ability to instruct and adj
wise farmers pr Stably, because, as I'M
derstand him, 5 coming to the the,
DRY that all the farmer has to do in Or

izers for the same so that | can obtain |
a big crop of sugar." and the doctor
prescribes according to his table of an

reliable as rule; it may work in some
eases, but generally it works unsatis-
factorily, because it is impossible for |
anybody to know the relative proper

Wildcat Banking.

"Wildcat banking daysp Yes, / had
some little experience OF how business
was done in those times" said Mr..
William A. Butler. Blanks used to be
started on capital of land; it was as
sessed at a certain value, generally
about ten times what it was worth, and
the bank allowed to issue proportion
Of the amount in notes. On paper the
scheme was perfection, all the safe
guards imaginable, but it was all on pa
per. You see, we fellows came from the
East, and l imagined that fortunes
were to be made out here, but people
didn't have any money to do business
with. So this wildcat money was is

He proposed collecting all the money

all his money on q Lapeer bank, and 1

because the Lapeer bank was considered
the meRnest In the whole State. He
said he had a draft ON Detroit which
would be paid all right. When he got
to Detroit he took the draft to get it
cashed, and soon afterward 1 saw him
come up to his store with a handker-
chief full of money; he must have had
peck of it. Well, sir, the man on
whom the draft was drawn had paid
him all in Lapeer bank notes, the same
thing that he had so industriously col

His Own Epitaph.

plain stone and reads as follows:
Here lie, by the side of his beloved
friend, the mortal remains of Charles
Reade, dramat st, novel st and journal

on this stone. L hope for resur-
rection, not from any power in ma
ture, but from the will of the Lord
God Omnipotent, who made nature
and me. He created man out of
nothing; which nature could not. He
can restore man from the dust, which
nature can not. And l hope for
holiness and happiness in future life,
not for anything have said or done in
this body, but from the mer IS and
mediation of Jesus Christ He has
promised His intercession to all who
seek it and He will not break his word;
that His intercession, once granted, can
not be rejected; for He is God, and His
merits are infinite; mans sins are but
human and finite. 'Him that ometh

water and flour, and with your hand
cover the entire ham with the paste an
eighth of an inch thick. Put the ham
thus covered with paste in pan on a
spider or two mulfin-rings; pop it in
hot oven and bake from fifteen to TWEEN
ty minutes for each pound of ham. If
the ham is under nine pounds in
weight fifteen minutes for each pound
is sufficient; if over nine pounds, TWEEN

immediately forms thick crust round
the ham, retaining all the juice, and
when done the skin comes off with the
crust, Leaving your ham lovely to look
