ATLANTA constitutional
It's a wonder to me that evsrybod y don't
go to farming. Lawyers and doctors have
to set about town and play checkers. and
talk politics and wait for somsbody to quar-
rel or fight. or get sick; clerks and book
keepers figure and multiply and count until
they get to counting stars, and the flies on
the ceiling, and the peas in the dish. and the
flowers ON the papering; tho jeweler sits by
his window all the year round, working on
little wheels, and the mechanic strikes the
same kind OF a lick every day. These peo-
pie do not belong to themselves; they are
all ponned up like conyicts I'm n changing;
they can't take "a day nor an hour for recre-
alton, for they are the ervan OF their en-
ployerS There is no profession that gives n
man such freedom, such latitude. and such
a variety OF employment as farming.
There's no monotony upon the farm.
There's something new every day, and tho
changing work brings into action every
muscle In the human frame. We pillow and
hoe, and harrow and SOW, and gather 1t in
at harvest time. We look after tho horses
and cow, the pigs and sows, and the rams
and the lambs, and the chickens and the
turkeys, and geese. We cut our own wool,
and raise our own bread and meat, and don't
have to be stingy OF 1t like city folks. A
friend, who visited Us not long ago, wrote
back from the town that his CRATE don't
seem bigger than the crown Of his hat since
he sat by our great big friendly fire place.

Proposed Garbage burning in New York

To get rid Of the ashes and garbage col
lected in the Streets OF New York city now
requires thirteen dumping stations on the
water front and a fleet Of scows TO carry
the refuse 10 the sea, where il is dumped.
The quantity so disposed Of amounts to
about $40 cubic yarls daily, and, in un.
favorable conditions Of weather. or when
those in charge are seeking to shirk their
duty, the scowE are dumped so their contents
help to I'LL up the channels Of New York
harbor.
1t is now proposed TO construct furnaces or
ovens at or near one Of the dumping stations
to try and burn up the refuse. The first APP
paratus will be rather an experimental one,
until Its economy and the effect Of such an
incineration factory upon the neightorhond
can lie determined.

Mrs. Gesner, who lives in two-story
frame house &C Manuel, ROckland Co..
n. T., was sitting in her kitchen with
her babe in her lap one evening recently
when the heavy thunderstorm struck the
town. While watching the lightning
which flashed into the room through the
windows, ball of fire suddenly appear
ed in front Of the stove close to her feet.
The ball was vivid brilliancy, and made
3 noise like humming top. Mrs. Gesner
did not move, although thoroughly
frightened. A moment later the ball ex-
plOded with slight report, but did no
injury either to the mother or her child
or the furniture in the room. In room
on the next floor, however, Hrs. Gesner
found that mirror stand had been shat
tered. Several persons who visited the
house the next day and made an exami-
nation Of the place were unable to find
where the ball had entered the building.
1t is supposed that it came down the
stove pipe.
