OLD-F FARMING.
Some of the Reasons Why the Old System
Does Not Pay.

Some OF the Reasons why the Old System
Does Not Pay.
Farmers who complain that farming
does not pay do not realize how far ag-
riculture is behind other industries in
the use of labor saving appliances
which so greatly cheaper the products.
Steel which formerly cost 800 ton is
now made for S25; railroads carry for
ten cents what would cost so to haul
by wagon; a watch which cost 500
twenty-five years ago is now made by
machinery for 800; one operative in a
cotton mill now makes %, 032 yards of
cloth in year, while in 1870 only A.
32l yards were made-an increase of
product of six times for the same la
Dor. BY the use of machinery one
mans labor makes nine pairs of shoes
per day, one pair being days work
by hand. Such manufactures as en-
velopes, brushes. screws. tools. cloth
ing and other necessary articles of
daily life cost, for labor. on an
average one-twelfth as much as they
did formerly. The wheat grower of
the great Northwest, with his gang
plows, pulverizers, seed-drills, self
binders, and gigantic thrashers. eleva-
tors, and general discipline of the great
farms, has reduced the cost of growing
wheat to one-fourth its former amount;
the great corn-grower has lessened the
cost of his staple in the same ratio. and
yet he cuts aud husks his corn by hand.
How. then, can the farmer who still
drops and covers and cultivates..his corn
by hand, cradles his wheat and thrashes
it with the fail. compete favorably
with the great wheat and corn growers,
or work on the same terms with the
shoemaker or the artisan? Time does
not count now. it is the work done. and
every man is paid in the universal labor
market for precisely what effective
work he performs without any relation
to the time spent in it. And this is
why old-fashioned farming does not
pay.-M Y. Times

sorry that she had promised to be his
wife. She cried little when she was
first alone after having done so, and
even told herself that she was doing It
to save her father and the rest of the
family from poverty, and because her
heart was broken at Erastus' desertion
of her for Julia Ennis; but when she
had cried her cry out, she did not
worry greatly about it, but began pict-
uring to herself the life she would lead
when she was the wife of one who
could supply every want, without hav-
ing to stop to consider whether some
thing else would not do as well, and be
more economical.
She honestly wished to fit herself as
far as possible to appear well in the so
ciety into which her husband would
take her, and intended to study harder
than ever, hoping thereby to accom-
plish it.
And so it had been agreed between
them that Annelsey should 60 at once

desired by his parents, and that Lucy
should remain in school another year.

Singers and Their Bouquets.

The public has foolish impression
that comic opera singers care great
deal for the flowers that represent to
them so many heart conquests. and
that they carry them home to crush
them between the leaves of blue and
gold volumes of poetry. or save the
prettiest of them for days and DAYS.
while the last breath of swee ness
lasts. to ornament their tables or set
off the handsome vases which they
fondly imagine are to be found upon
their carved mantels. This is not so,
though. They carry them away from
the theater. it is true. and they do so
that other singers may not be able to
sport them as trophies of triumphs
they have never won, but when a con-
venient side alley is reached or a garb-
age barrel is met en- route home the
flowers are quickly dumped. for sing
ers' husbands and friends are glad to
be rid of their loads, and the two latter
classes particularly do not see what
good the things are. anyhow st.

The "Mousquetaire."

A Partisan paper prints some anus
ing "reminiscences of Alexandra Dumas
short-lived paper, the Mousquetatre.
The romancer, whose little idiosyncra-
sizes were we'll known. inserted a daily
notice to the effect that the editor
would receive neither complimentary
tickets tor the theaters, nor books for
review, since he made it rule to pay
for the one and to buy the other.
Nevertheless the contributor to the
Nousgate tatre who writes these reminis
cences says that he never received 80
many books and stalls; whenever he
asked the cashier for Il five-franc piece
to buy a stall he was laughed
at. and he was obliged to allow
himself to be corrupted. The daily re-
ceipts of the paper were from ZIG to
f20: but Dumas had always SOME lev
to quiet, or some bonnie annie to sooshe,
and the cash-box was usually empty
like the pockets of the printer and pa
per-maker. The unfortunate cashier,
who had to bear the heat and burden
of the demands for money. spent his
time in reading Jerusalem Delivered. !"
The contributors were NO better off
than the printer. and when they asked
Michel. the cashier-he had formerly
been one of Dumas gardeners at the
Chateau de Monte Cristo for the price
of an article, he would show them wit b
a melancholy air his empty cash-box.
Like so many of the romancer's similar
enterprises, the Nousquetaire at length
came to an inglorious end.

"PATENT MEDICINES"
y Hisnomer to Thus Characterize Pro-
prietary Remedies.

4 Nisnomer to Thus Characterize Pro-
prietary Remedies.
The name ''patent medicine is a
misnomer, there being no patents on
med cines. In the infancy of the busi-
ness it was the custom of the inventors
of these articles to secure patents. but
no great amount of experience was
necessary to convince them that it was
not good plan. In order to secure a
patent it was necessary to state the in
gradients and the formula for their
preparation and. these being thus
made public property. any one could
make the goods as well as themselves.
so in order to maintain the secrecy
which they found indispensable to their
success, they were compelled to aban-
don the patent system altogether. But
the Government still affords them a
measure of protection by its system of
recording and protecting trademark.
The manufacturers of the proprietary
medicines therefore adopt some dis
tinctive device to be found on their
packages or bottles, and. this being re-
corded. counterfeit of it can not
be put upon the market without
an infringement of the copyright
law and consequent suit for
damages. This fact has not. however.
prevented the counterfciting being
done by initiative persons who found
profit in the business; and lawsuits in
Vulnerable have grown out of the in
Engagements which have come to public
notice. to say nothing of those which
remained undiscovered. To. no small
extent the manufactured medicines of
the day have been the results of the eff
forts of people to doctor themselves.
In the old times the women of the
family were exceedingly fond of pre-
pairing root aud herb teas and extracts,
some of them of undoubted value;
doctors often experimental in the same
direction. and what was more natural
than that, when a doctor found a GER
tain article producing good results in
disease. he should keep on using it and
finally. becoming a specialist in that
direction. should conceal the ingredi-
ents of his physic and either sell the
secret to some one who was DESTROYS of
undertaking its manufacture as busi-
ness, or should undertake the manu-
facture for himself. This has been the
history of several of the best known
proprietary articles now on the mar.

THE cHEckEReERRY.
A Wild Plant Which Lately Has b,
Given q Place I'm the Garden.

A wild Plant Which Lately Has Been
Given Place I'm the Garden.
Among the uncultivated plants may
be named the checkerberry. Why has
not this little evergreen plant. with
its delicate white blossoms of mid-sum-
mer, and its attractive crimson fruit of
mid-winter. been given place in the
ornamental garden? 1t is because of
the belief that it will not take kindly
to cultivation; or it is because its
beauty and usefulness is unknown. If
the former. we are glad to be able to
say something from practical expert
ence.
This plant, when properly treated.
grows well in the garden, but it
will not do to set it on Guilt
waited land and surround it with hot
pulverized earth; under such treatment
it burns and becomes an unsightly
plant. To have the checkerberry do
well. it must be given similar treat
ment that it has in It's natural home.
Those who are familiar with this plant
well know that. when found growing on
land that has had a crop of white pine
timber cut from it within a few years,
the plants are strong, and at the proper
season will be found well loaded
with fruit of very large size. This
teaches that it is plant that does not
do best in the shade, although frequently
found growing there. with no fruit ON
it, but that it is plant that needs sun
shine to bring it to full perfection; it
also teaches that it needs to have the
soil covered with decayed leaves to
make it loose and light for the roots to
run in.
After having repeatedly tried and
failed to make this plant grow and
fruit in the shade, an effort was made
to initiate nature as near as possible.
A small plot of land was prepared by
first covering it with rich vegetable
mould made of decayed leaves. then,
early in the spring, good healthy looking
vines were taken from among the pine
stumps, and at once set in rows about
ground was covered all over with pine
leaves, or needles, to the depth of one
or two inches. The plants did not
seem to realize that they had
been removed. but when the
growing season opened the new
shoots came up very thick. and on
most of them there were numerous
blossoms, which produced a good crop
of fruit Nothing was done but to
keep the grass out. The vines lived
well through the winter. and produced
a second crop of fruit 1t was then
thought best to try to grow them by
cultivation without covering the ground
with leaves, but the third year under
this treatment was failure, the leaves
of the vines sun-burned and most of
them dropped, very little new growth
was made and but few blossoms ap-
peared
Next spring newplot will be started
and the leaf protection will be con-
tinued. with the feeling that it is neces-

MIR. Cleveland to Be Congratulated That
He Has Accomplished So Much.
Those Democrats who pretend to be
disappointed with Mr.. Cleveland, and
complain of his Civil-Service reform,
should remember that he is simply car
rying out his pledges. He promised to
''turn the rascals OUT, to have none
but competent men in office. and to
stop the leaks in the public treasury
He said he would conduct the business
of the Government on business princi-
Piles. These pledges Mr.. Cleveland is
fulfilling. He could not be expected to
make sweeping changes; he could not
be expected to purge the departments
thoroughly in week, or in a month,
or in six months. He has been in the
Executive chair less than six months.
and in that time he has made good
progress. He has not got rid of all the
offensive officials, but he has removed a
vast number of them, and the good
work will go steadily forward. He has
made investigations into the Republican
method OF keeping books and has ex-
posed fraud. He has discarded red tape
and applied business principles, as he
promised he would do. He has driven
away the jobbers and thieves that were
in the habit of congregating about the
Treasury vault These things Mr..
Cleveland has done, and the people ara
thankful that he was elected, no matter
how much certain cliques may abuse

PERIODS OF DEPRESSION.

The Stupid Statements That Business Stag
nation Is Attributable to Democratic
Ascendency.
In their desperation the Republican
organs are endeavoring to charge the
continuance of business depression upon
Democratic rule. OF course, all intel
Ggent business men, who understand
the causes and sources of the pres ent de-
preston, ridicule the stupid statements
made by those papers that CONNER
cial revival would have followed Mr..
Blaine's election. The increased evil
dences of an improved feeling in BUSH
ness circles in this country show that
the era of revival is at hand, and that
capital, which has been so long tied up
to the paralyzation of industry, is en-
couraged to strike out boldly and extern
sively on the field of enterprise. The
period of depression is certain to be
brought to a close in this country before
it disappears in other nations. where it
has been most severely felt Senator
Edmunds. i'll speaking OF the condition
of commerce and manufactures in En-
gland, where he has recently been, says:
Business in that country is very much
depressed. I made inquiries wherever
went on that point. and the reply was
everywhere the same" Similar gloomy
reports are received from other Eu-
ropean countries All over the world
the depression in business has been ex-
perienced, and in many nations to
far greater degree than in the United
States. The change had to come, and
in this country are heard the first words
of encouragement Manufacturers are
already finding a better demand for
their goods. and moneyis showing some
signs of activity. The most promising
feature of the revival is the sound basis
on which it is placed and which gives
ample reason to regard it as permanent.
The Democratic Administration gives
no little encouragement to the APP
preaching period of business activity
by its wise, frugal. intelligent policy of
conducting the Government. 1t has
removed all those deleterious elements
from the public service, which were
synonymous with corruption and ex-
trayagance. and has given an example
of judicious management of the affairs
of the Nation. which can not but pro-
duce good fruit. When the Govern
ment Is known to be conducted on q
strictly business basis, without any
reference to individual or partisan ag-
grandisement, and economy is enforced

and breaking the deadlock which has
SO long existed in the business world.
Such an example is certainly better cali
culated to bring around this result than
would be the knowledge of having .
man in the White House whose record
showed that he was ready tool of the
most desperate and unprincipled
schemers, and of party in power
whose career has been characterized by
reckless assaults upon the industries
and interests of the country. The con-
fidence which the people manifest in
MIR. Cleveland's business integrity could
never have been extended to Mr..
Blaine. 1t is folly. therefore, for Re-
publican organs to attempt to make
political capital out of the period Of
business depression. Ar1us.

the day set for his departure he worked

The Richest OF All Women.

The Crnsus of Soath America is a
woman, Donna lsadora G ,usino of Sjn-
tiago, Chilli, and there are few men jor
women in the world richer than she.
There is no end to her money and no
limit to her extravaganza, and people
call her the Countess Of Monte Crilo.
She traces her ancestry back to the days
of the conquest, and has the record of
the first of her fathers who landed in
the New World. His family was al
ready famous, for his uncles and sire
fought under the ensign of the Arragons
before the alliance with CASTLE. But
the Spanish branch of the family was
lost i'll the world great shuttle two or
three centuries ago, and none of them
distinguished themselves enough to get
| their portraits into the collection which
| Sonora CCusino has mede of the lineage
| she claims.
Like hers, Tie ancestors of her late
husband came over early, and III the
partition of the lands and spoils of the
conquest both got a large share, which
| they kept and increased by adding the
| portions gwen to their less thrifty and
| less cntcrpr!siug associates, until the
two estates became the largest, most
| productive, aud most valuable of all the
hacieudas of Chill, and were finally
united into one by the marriage twenty
four years ago OF the late Don and his
surviving wiGow. While he lived he
was considered the richest man in Chill
and she the richest woman, for their
property was kept separate, the husband
managing his estates and the wife her
own, and people say she was altogether
the better administrator OF the two.
This fact he acknowledged in his will,
when he beqheathed all of his possessions
to her, and piled his Pelion upon her
! her OsSa, SO that she has millions of acres
of land, millions of dollars in money,
tlocks and herds that are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands, coal, copper,
and silver mines acres of real estate in
| the cities of Santiago and Valparaiso, a
fleet of iron steamships, smelling works.
a railroad, and various other trifles in
the way of productive property, which
| yield her an inc me of several millions a

| and under the circumstances succeeds as
well as could be expected.

Since first you took to drinking

Of course no i'll I'm thinking.
But while on life's uneven road
Your track you've been pursuing,
What fountains from your wit have flowed
What drinks YOU have been brewing!

Your secret I've discovered
The source that fed your inward flame
The dreams that round you lowered
Before yoa learned to bite or MUNICH,
Still kicking in your cradle,

And Hebe seized the ladle
Dear babe, whose fftieth year to-day,
Your ripe halfcentury rounded,
Your books the precious draught betray
The laughing Nine compounded.

Each finds its faults amended,
The virtues that to each belong
In happier union blended.
And what the flavor can surpass
