Farmers and Panics.

Farmers are not usually business
men, nor do they make many invest
ments. Stocks they take no interest in,
and the rise and fall of railroad
shares give them but little care. But
farmers are affected by panics which
they do not create. The prices of goods
and the sales of products depend upon
a sound financial condition, to which
all classes are subjected. But there is
one view to be taken of a disordered
financial system, which is that while
the price of a bushel of grain may be
regulated by a syndicate, or its trans
%portation rate fixed by a railroad con-
clave, yet the bushel of grain itself
does not become lessened in intrinsic
value, nor become useless by reason of
financial huctuation. With a full
granary the farmer is secure from
danger, even if his prospects have
been clouded, and with the herds of
cattle and tlocks Of sheep ready for
market he has in his possession an ac-
tual value, which sooner or later is
sure to be realized. There is one point
to be realized, and that is that while
stagnation may overtake the bushes
fraternity the natural demand for the
products of the soil can not be lessened
in any manner The world must have
and must be supplied with a sutliciency
of those substances which are necessary
to the existence of its population, and
hence, as the demand can not be dimin-
ished the supply must be maintained.
1t is not the producers nor the business
men who create panics, though they
are the greatest sufferers, but the evil
is the result.of a permission to gamble
with the necessaries of life and the hopes
Of thousands. Be the difficulty what
it may, farmers should go on with their
crops, for in the end they will surely
realize.-Fdrm, Field and Fireside.

A Sod Barn.

If there is sod tough enough, one can
make a very warm, and not altogether
bad-looking barn, by breaking or plow-
ing tough sod, which, il it is as it is
here, can be found in low places, a foot
wide and three or four inches thick.
Cut with an old axe or spade, two
feet long. and lay them in a wall, two
feet thick; n course lengthways and
the next one crossways; changing every
other course, and taking great care to
nave the corners well bound by break
ing Joints perfectly. If well laid, it
may be made SIX or seven feet high,
leaving places for doors and windows
by putting in plank frames.
AS soon as the wall is finished, put q
plate on the inner edge. We use 2x6
well pinned to the sod (by boring holes
through and driving wooden p'ns), and
well spiked at the corners. This keeps
The wall in good shape and prevents it
from falling. A roof which is cheaper
than boards may be made by puttingo on
poles and coarse hay, wired down to
keep from blowing off. It is a hard
Job to lay the sod. but if we'll laid it
makes a barn that will stand for years
md costs comparatively nothing but
ta5or.-Cor. Farm and Fareside. 4

10 pedestrians Norway is a paradise.
The regularity of the distances between
the stations, the exact information at
talnable respecting them, present a
certainty OF accommodation in Just the
sort OF quarters which a pedestrian re-
qulres. All Norway is mountainous
and picturesque; there are no tame flat
regions anywhere; the climate is al
ways brasing, even in the hottest sum
mer weather. The alterations ofwalk-
ing and boating or an occasional varia-
ton by taking a stage in carriole, which
may be done anywhere on the roads,
renders pedestrian SIN luxurious.

Some Penalties Of Wealth.

Probably nobody will ever believe
sincerely that it is not better to be rich
than poor; and certainly it is best for
clvlllzation that the difficulty of reach
ing that belief is practically insupera-
pie. From the foundation of Christiani-
y TO the present day, to go no further
PACK, men have sought riches with all
their energies, and in the majority of
cases have enjoyed them when found;
and though writers, who are imagina-
] y people, are seldom practical, have
often pretended that decent poverty is
better than wealth, . a rule they did
not believe these assertions themselves,
and certainly the world has refused to
accept them. A frank statement OF the
average creed on the subject would un-
q~uestionably involve the admission that
wealth is better than most other things;
that while it is proper theoretically to
oeprecate an intense desire for it, most
people make it their Alpha and Omega;
that as regards the current talk: about
IT'S burdens, nearly everybody is willing
to assume them at q moments notice.
The world, in short, loves money. an
preciates it, seeks it, pays respect to it.
Yet, when all this is fully recognized,
the fact remains that wealth sometimes
has its penalties.
Here. for instance, is Mr.. Garrison,
who, to everybody's astonishmont, has
just made an assignment. So far as
a be ascertained, the fundamental
cause of this action is the fact that the
old gentleman's money has become
stronger than he is, and has literally
overwhelmed him. Age and infirmity
incapacitated him from attending daily
to his, many investments. But in these
days OF rapid change, constant vigil
lance is the price of financial stability.
The Commodore could not give the
necessary attention to his affairs, and
the result is that everything has got int
confusion. Take other cases: those o.
men who have the largest fortunes in
the country or the world. They are all
necessarily hard workers. Their wealth
constrains them to ceaseless supervision
and watehfulness. Doubtless with some
there is. pleasurable excitement about
this, but at all events there are penal
ties which q not be evaded, and which
attach to great fortunes. There is, in
fact, not much exaggggeration, in the say
AAS lAlat III mauy VI SUCH cases inc
money owns the men rather than the
men the money.
Perhaps these drawbacks are intro
duced for the express purpose of con
soilng the masses to whom' great wealth
has been denied. They can at least try
to believe that the cares of the rich ex-
coed their pleasures; and once in
awhile there occurs an event which
seems to justify the adage that call is
not gold that glitters," and which
shows that wisdom lay in the prayer of
Agar, when he said: .Give me neither
poverty nor riches;'' forit is after all in
the happy mean between the two ex-
tremes that the most satisfactory condi-
tions are found, and that mean for
tunately exists in greater proportion
among the American people than any
where else in the WORLDLY. ]. 1rib-

DIGNITY and Hats.

There is a town in Illinois which de-
sires to add to its dignity. According
ly sforty merchants have signed a
pledge to wear high hats ''to increase
the dignity of the town." In view of
the fact that the hot weather is just at
hand, the sincerity of the forty cannot
be doubted. The merchants evidently
suppose that to wear q high hat is the
easiest way in which to confer dignity
upon themselves and their town. A
trousers and Il black satin waistcoat is
always entitled to be regarded as q
leading citizen, but he is not ne essarily
dignitied. If, however, he puts on a
high hat he at once becomes a dignitied
and, in some cases, . venerable fellow
townsman. When the forty merchants
don their high hats they will gain i'm
mensely in the respect of their fellow
citizens, who will begin to feel that
their town is q centre of culture and in
fluence, and needs a university, an
opera-house and a lawn tennis club
Now that the forty merchants are
determined t. increase the dignity Of
their town." why should they not try
the effect of other measures than that
OF wearing high hats Suppose, for
example, they we're to undertake to sell
no adulteratcd articles, to make no
mistakes in making out their bills, and
to charge only a fair price for their
wares. BY SO doing. they would soon
make their town famous. People from
all parts of the country would flock to
gaze on the forty good merchants, and
the town would be held in honor wher-
ever it's name might be known. This
idea does not appear to have occurred
to the forty Illinois merchants, or, if it
has occurred to them, they have re-
ieoted it in favor Of the cheaper plan Of
buying high hats.-N. Y. Times.

Texas Beef.

The great reservoir from which has
been drawn the bulk Of the cattle which
are now becoming so abundant in all
our Western Territories is the State of
Texas. In 1870 o~ne-seventh of the
horned cattle in the United States was
found within its borders, and it out
numbered the aggregate of those of all
the other States and Territories west of
the Missouri, California and the Pacific
coast included. This ratio was slightly
changed by the statistics OF 1880, the
State representing somewhat less than
one-eighth of the whole number, while
it still contained more than all the 9TH
ers mentioned above. From this source
OF supply has been drawn the great
bulk of the range cattle now to be found
on the public lands east of the Rocky
Mountains-an industry which has
grown to huge proportions, and yet
dating back in these States and Terri
tories a few years only. AS an evidence
Of tbs we note that in 1870 the number
given for Montana, Wyoming and Col
orado was a little less than $50, 900.
Ten years la.er Wyominga alone eJualed
this, while the three together aggre-
gated nearly 500, o00. Wedo not DOUBT
that an accurate ensus taken to-day
would more than double these figures.
To Texas, then, we must still look for
the supply from which to draw recruits
to further develop the capabilities Of
the northern ranges Like the tide of
immigration which is daily landing
thousands of foreigners on the shores OF
the New World, more than c ualing
the relative birth increase, so the an
nual cattle. drive from Texas must yet
be the tase OF supplies for all the GUN

Impurity Of Blood, however generated,
is always present in the body when pain is
felt; it spreads and ferments wherever Q
weak spot or low vitality exists.
BRARDRETH's PILLS are the one great
and unfailins remedy, because they take
hold and expel only what is hurtful; SO
when sick, have pain, dizziness, rheuma-
T., tism, colds, or c%ostiveness, take from three
to five, and if they do not operate in four
hours or so, take three or four more. They
cleanse the bowels and circulation from

it increases the value of butter several
cents a pound. 1t is pure and harmless,
convenient for instant use, has no taste or

the butter. 1t is the very best butter color
o%btainable, and is not expensive. In every
State in the Union the demand for it is in
