Swift's Style.

His earnestness is reflected in his
utyle. No English is SO pointed and so
direct as Swift's. Every sentence is a
keen knife that cuts straight to the
core; there is no hesitation or swerv
ing; there is never a word wasted. His
sentences follow one another logically
and equally, in the order dictated by
the subject, without any apparent re-
gard for the graces of expression, nor
even, sometimes. for the ordinary rules
Of grammar. He wrote rapidly, as the
thoughts seized him, nor lever leaned
his head upon his left hand to study
what he should write next" Yet
Swift's prose is never ungainly; it is
simple and clear and direct, absolutely
free from ai1ectation Or 'curious care"
never seeking mere rhetorical effects;
but it is not the less polished to q
smooth and brilliant surface-not the
polish of elaboration, but the fine
chiseled surface that marks a mind that
thought. clearly and exactly.-Stanzey
Lane Pool.

Is there any traceable relation be-
tween the old-fashioned log house and
the vIgor of seed corn? Years ago
says the Planter and Stockman when
log houses were plenty and joists
numerous overhead in the kitchen by
the chimney, the seed corn was
brought in and "traced up, and hung
ion pegs by the huge chimney, and
was thoroughly dried out, hanging
there for months. Now the modern
house has no chimney, SO to speak,
and no joists on which to hang the
ears braidiugiup the ears of seed corn
has gone out of fashion:snd now is :,
yearly aneIt bat seedeorn is poor
acking in vigor, etc. Planting from
corn-cribs explains the matter. The
corn does not get dry, as it used to
when hung in the warm rooms by
the big chimney, and frost iniures the
germ. We don't hankery after, the
log house or the smofe-staincd joists
over the living-room or yet festoons OF
seed corn, but there must be waylto
dry seed in the fall, and know that it
is dry,or else. we will be forced back
into the log Houses to live, or give UP
growing corn.

have been made exceedingly unhappy
by the perusaE of the presidents letter
to Mr.. Eaton, though some of them
are inclined to take more cheerful
view of the situation, and to express
confidence that when the chairman
ship of the civil service commission is
placed in Democratic hands, "things
will run more satisfactorily"-in
other words that the civil service
law will become practically "a dead
letter. IT must be confessed that
these people are not without some
slight foundation for the faith that is
in them. Indeed, with the spectacle
sof the postoffice department making
removals at the rate of twenty an

should think as they do. The fact is

his favor. The summer dairyman

succeeded only in getting q second

1t is stated that smallpox is in the

ingof vaccine matter, which always
works best when the conditions are
favorable to this disease, and the
germs are in the air. Recent inoccu-
1ations have been successful in ninety
out of a hundred cases. As a general
thing only about fifty per cent. of the
