Cholera and Life. Insuranc e.

"Will the cholera affect life insur-
anceP" I asked of an agent. at will
undoubtedly affect policies. The tourist
who goes abroad will have to get a per-
nit from the insuring company if he
wants to preserve his life insurance.
Intercourse with Atlantic ports by pol
icy holders in the interior may be pro-
hibited by some companies. Some
have no clause in their contracts allow
ing such a prohibition. New Orleans
is i%nterdicted generally during the sea-
son in which yellow fever may be cpl
demic. Attendance on the cotton ex-
position during the winter will not come
within this limitation s'By the way"
said this agent, ''there are some curl
Gus kinks in insurance. Some wears
ago it was found that a large number
of houses in New Orleans had been un-
occupied for a year after the epidemic
of yellow fever. The fire insurance
companies cancelled their policies on
scores of them. Where such cities as
Marseilles and Toulon are deserted BY
their population to the number of hun
dreds of thousands, a presumption of
doubt Is cast at once on an insurance
claimant. If his property burns Re
must show that it was inhabited at the
time of the fire. These epidemics play
havoc with US in more ways than we
ere apt to think of."-Sk. Paul Pioneer

Wild Flowers o. Irish Rhetoric.

A correspondent gives some speci-
mems of the florid turn of speech which
seems to be ingrained in the Celt, and
we cut the following choice examples:
The following anecdote will serve as
a specimen of the power of repartee
possessed by this tribe. A gentleman,
overhearing a car-driver asking an ex-
orbitant fare of an unsuspecting for
eigner, exposulated with him on his
audacious misstatement of the tariff,
concluding with the words: 81 wonder
you haven't more regard for the truth"
s.Och, indeed, thin, I've a great dale
more regard for the truth than to be
dthragging her out on every palthry
occasion" was the reply.
The Irish bull Hourishes in Munster
as freely as in the other provinces of
Ireland. By far the best exponent of
this form of speech was a country doc
tor, now, alas! gathered to his fathers.
In mental habit he was q true lineal
descendent of Sir Boyle Roche.
Though hardly calculated to satisfy q
logical mind. his expressions were
often exceedingly picturesqe and
effective. Conversing with a friend
about the high rate of mortal
ity then prevailing, he remarked:
''Bedad, there are people dying who
never died before!" What an admirable
result was here obtained by merely SUBJ
shutting the Indicative for the condi-
tional mood-to put it from the gram
marian's point of view. Malaprops
are often closely related to bulls, but
these are not closely confined to Irish
soil. However, this same old doctor,
abiding to a recent and mysterious
event. devoutly exclaimed: 'sThe ways
of Providence are unscrupulous!' Per-
haps for concentrated ~inaccuracy of
statement nothing can surpass the fol-
lowing sentence. which occurred in an
account of a burglary given in an
Irish newspaper, CATER a fruitless
search, all the money was recovered,
except one pair of boots" Surely Mr..
Matthew Arnold will not quarrel with
the lack of lucidity which gave this
and the following to the world: Our
most famous Jig dancer came by his
death in a faction fight at a village
fair. An inquest was held, at which a
verdict was brought in that he met his
death by the 0tsstation of God, under
suspicious circumstances.
Ihere Is a great Zeal OF unconscious
humor in the descriptions given by
rustic patients of their s%ufferings.
Witness the following instances: One
applicant for relief said that he had a
great bilin' in his throat, and his heart
was as if We had it in yer hand, and
were squeezin' it. Another, who de-
clared that, saving your presence, his
shtomach had gone to the wesht of his
ribs, must have been an interesting
pathological study.-London Spectator.

How to avoid cutting a warm short
cake is a difficult question. 1t is solved
by cutting the unbaked dough into two
equal parts. Roll one out; put it into
the baking tin, spread it with butter as
if it were already baked, then roll out
the other part and lay over it. When
baked these parts separate readily
without the aid of a knife. A thin
coating of butter is all that is needed.

This is owing to their experiences and
thoroughness in the manufacture of

1t is time for our farmers to UNI
derstand, says an Iowa experimenter,
that the days of the small horses are
over, except to drive to town and for
light livery work. They can not afford
either to raise them Dr. own them. II
they will observe carefully they will
discover that it costs no more to keep
a colt two years than a calf,
and that during these two years on
stock keep the colt will increase in val
ne a great deal faster than the calf.
We do not advise farmers to go alto
gether into horse farming or into any
other specially, but along with the
calves and pigs, raise a few good, large
colts. 1t is unsafe to devote a farm tc
any one kind of stock. The true wis
dom is to raise some of each, but what
aver you do, raise the best.

The Want of Farmers.

The average farmer has for the past
few years been very progressive and o
great advance has been made in many
respects, but it now seems that a tenn
porary halt has been made, and that
there must be a new impulse given be-
fore another start forward will again
be made. The great gain has been
made, not SO much in greater results
per acre, but in the extension of terri
tory devoted to grazing, crops and
special farming, made possible by the
introduction of the most expensive and
sklllfully devised machinery. The next
step forward must be made in the di-
rection of better crops, and this ad-
vance will of necessity have to be the
result of mental activity.
The census report places the average
production of crops at a very low yield
per acre. The average wheat yield of
Ohio will not possibly exceed sixteen
bushels per acre, which is hardly a re-
turn that compensates for the total cost
of production, and what is true of wheat
is quite as true of the ssrun" of other
crops. Now and then one finds a
farmer succeeding in raising crops of
nearly double the average yield, show

can be profitably titled when the re-
quirements of the case are understood
and then acted upon. Some writer has
aptly said that a failure is often made
of a wheat crop on land especially
adapted to potato culture; barley is
grown at a loss on land that would pro-
duce magnificent aud paying crops of
oats. The cause of all this is simply q
lack of the knowledge of the constitu-
ents of the soil, their adoption to diff
ferent plant growths; to a lack of suti-
cient thought on these matters. The
owners plod along year after year with
a bare subsistence, with little more
thought than the teams they drive,
fading fault with the soil, weather,
Providence, their business, everything
but the right one-their own ignorance.
The buying of improved machinery,
blooded stock and all the other modern
aids to farming, will not pay unless
there is a purpose to work and use
them to an advance point in keeping
with their capabilities. To use them
as labor savers, simply to do the same
work upon the farm that was done be-
fore, is not really an advance step in
farming, but when they are used in
proportion to their possibilities then
their true worth is seen, and a go ahead
farmer is discovered emerging the
from ''ruts" that hide many an other
wise splendid ability. The farmers who
read are the lucky ones. 1t is this class
just mentioned who are members OF
farmers clubs, take the best journals
published. buy each year a dozen OF SO
of the best books that are issued, and
who are not always basing their expec-
tations of becoming rich and prosper
GUS upon the adoption of free trade,
and the consequent cheapening of every
thing they buy, but does see that his
prosperity and protection of American
labor are co-dependent upon each other.
There is a want of more thought and a
wider range of knowledge in this coun;
try, and the prosperity Of the future will
be dependent upon it, and needing it,
will finally obtain the end sought

The old custom of bottling tears is

The old custom of bottling tears is
still continued in Persia. 1t must be
very old, as it is alluded to in the
Psalms of David. AS the mourners are
sitting around and weeping, the master
of ceremonies presents each one with a
piece of cotton, with which he wipes off
his tears. This cotton is afterward
squeezed into a bottle. and the tears are
preserved as a powerful and ~efficacious
remedy for reviving a dying man after
every other means have failed. 1t is
also employed as a charm against evil
influences. The practice was once uni
versal, as is evidenced by the e a bot
ties which are found in almost every
ancient tomb.
