See here. my farmer friend, let me give
you Il few facts. The average farmer
shortens the services OF his lumber wagon
one year by leaving II out in the sun and
dew. His pillow would last one year longer
II kept painted and sheltered For the
want Of a little attention his harness wears
out only half its days. His barns and
sheds 90 10 rack for the want of paint.
Where the hoof.rot could be stopped in
the first sheep if ne were posted, he stops
it in the thirtieth. The farmer who gets his
agricultural hints from the almanac loses
his hogs by the cholera, his fowls by the pip,
and his horses slobber from his gate to the
village store and back. Let a man run
Z your farm on business principles and the
fence corners would not take up four acres
u Of every forty; there would be no old
box-drains about the house to bring
typhoid fever and doctors bills. Those
leaks in the roof of the barn would not
spoil three or four tons of hay next year;
the want Of an eave-trough on the house
would not cave in the cellar walls; the
first sign Of disease among the live stock
would be promptly treated; tools and i'm
plements of every sort should be carefully
housed, and -=
Well ! am going to shock you. I'd
have the harness oiled and buggies and
wagons washed once u week. I'd have a
lawn about the house, and make a display
Of flowers and shrubs; I'd give q party now
and then. and I'd encourage meetings of
farmers once or twice a month, not to
kick about railroad freights or Jaw about
politics. but to post each other on farm
work and the best way to manage il.

A scientific gentleman in this city, speak
ing recently to a Graphic representative,
said; a believe hat before long an instru-
ment will be invented which viii do away
with the stenographers in our courts and
Offices. They were badly scared when Edi-
son invented his phonograph, which would
faithfully record the sounds Of the human
voice as well as those Of musical Instruments.
That idea only needs to DO developed to pro-
duce a machine that win answer all the pur-
poses OF the modern shorthand writer, and in
fact be a more faithful recorder Of all that
takes place within its range, sounds such as
laughs, signs, means, etc, that a steno-
grapher cannot write, it being alike sus-
ceptible to. Another advance in his lin
would be a machine which would automatic
ally write out the recorded sounds, as on a
typewriter, and thus every man could be his
own amanuensis. Inventors are now looking

The high comb IN her raven hair

And round her neck an amber chain

The glad spring in her step, the South
Glowed IN the rose OF cheek and mouth,
While over form and face was thrown
A spell the coolest heart must own.
She passed sereneiy thro' the throng
A perfect poem set TO song.

in short, all cereals and vegetables
are unfit for use.

The Killing or Drake.

New YORK, August 26.-Wm. E.
Rhinelander appeared t,-day before
q commission of inquiry into his
mental condition. He said he had
never suspected his wife of having
any illicit relations with Drake and
describing his attack upon Drake,
and the circumstances that led to it,
he said he went to Brakes office
after learning that his wife had been
there that day. Drake told him that
she had not been there since she had
been there with him. Witness enter
ing into conversation with Drake he
told him he thought of going to
Europe, but would not 20 without
his wife. Drake would not agree to
his wife going with him, and said he
would look after her.
She was too plain looking Drake
said for anybody else to take interest
in her. Witness replied that ladies
born abroad were very innocent and
if they associated with improper peo-
pie might be compromised. I then
''said the Witness" raising his voice
almost to a shout, in imitation of his
tone at the time as he took care to
explain: Nov you are the man who
has compromised my Wife," He
leaped up and made a motion behind
him where a heavy cane lay. That
act of his fastened the act of mine.
I drew upon bim and sent q bullet
into him. I should not have shot
him if he had given me satisfaction.
In reply to question as to what sat
isfaction, he wanted, Rhinelander
answered: "A guarantee that he
would cease his efforts to separate my
wife and me.

Montana's Contribution.

Mddis0nsan, q: 1t seems that
after all the Montana stone will find
a place in the Washington monu-
ment, though not in SO exalted a DO
sition as Our Helena cetemporaries
have so grandlloquently bloviated
about. Not many of the stones that
have been contributed occupy places
In the walls of the monument, and
the few that are placed were set sew
eral years ago. Most of them, how
ever, have been preserved in the
"lapidarium," and it is the intention
to place the representative stones at
points just above the landings on the
stairways, the plan being to slice off
the front IF each block and bolt it
securely to the walls at these points.
So the Montana visitor to the mop
ument will not be deprived of the
pleasure of seeing the native granite
of the grandest Of Uncle Sans terri
tories duly represented in the grand
est 1apidarian work of ancient or
modern times.
