ton of the value of a mellow and cul.
tivated soil for preserving moisture in
drouth. A portion of his ground was
tdll of weed seeds, and to give the
Strawberries and vegetables a fair
chance he had to keep up a constant

and SO great was the contrast between
this portion of his garden and the rest
that persons who stopped and saw the
difference would hardly believe that it
was not in consequence of the mellow
and cultivated portion being watered,
although no water was given to it,

IGNORED WATER.
A Story of stephen II. Elkins and the Old
Farmer.

A Story of Stephen Ii. Elkins and the Old
Farmer.
l heard q little story of good Mr..
Stephen B. Elfins the other day that
ought to furnish a moral were Mr.. FL
kins in the habit of d~evoting his talent
to missionary work. Some years ago
Mr.. Elkins was younger and less famous
than he is now, but he was ambitious.
As the story goes, there was an infu-
entail old farmer whom Stephen was
anxious to conciliate. The old fellow
had odd notions, and among them Was
one that no man was worth anything
morally, mentally or physically who
was unable to do a full days labor in
the hay field. Steve went down to visit
his ancient friend in blissful ignorance
of his hosts scale of judging ability.
He had not been long at the farm when
he discovered the old gentleman's
theory practically applied. Stephen
was young and confident, and he bold
ly sailed out with the haymakers on
n of the hottest days that ever sizzled
over low lands. 1t was something out
Of his usual line, but Mr.. Elkins toiled
away manfully. The sun grew hotter
and hotter and the mixture of water
and molasses which served for re-
| freshments began to lose its cool
ing effect. OFF came the amateurs
garments n by one, but this did
little good. AS his clothing grew
lighter his temperature grew steadily
higher and higher. Mi. .Elkins per-
spired as he never perspired before. He
endured it until he could stand no
more, and in a moment of weakness
acknowledged himself beaten by the
weather. Ambition or no ambition, he
wanted to get cool. The farmer heard
his confession and suggested an I'M
monia sponge bath; that was cooling if
anything in the world was. His visitor
eagerly adopted the suggestion, and
dragging his parboiled length to the
house and securing. ammonia in
abundance, he proceeded in the solitude
OF his room to take his bath. 1t worked
beautifully at first, and he was charmed,
SO charmed, in fact, that he kept it up
until he began to experience very
strange sensations. sensations that kept
growing more and more peculiar until
he was enduring a w~ell-developed case
Of palpitation Of the heart. He was a
sad and frightened man, but good nurs-
ing and prompt medical treatment
saved him to ornament the political
world. The old farmer had failed to
tell him that a very little ammonia with
a good deal of water was the proper
thing. MIR. Elkins had ignored water.

THE SEXES.
Some Interesting Figures Relating t.
Their Distribution.

ANOlE Dl6GFlDuLlVHs
Almost all the Southern States have a
nearly equal number of each sex. In
Massachusetts the females between
twenty and fifty years of age exceed
the males about the same age by about
$4,000. In seventy-eight cities the ex-
cess of females Is l48, 600. That litter
acy prevails more among women is due
probably to the foreign population.
Women contribute less to pauperism,
the proportion being $1,000 to $4,000.
The ration ct prison inmates stands
5,05S women to o4,1g0 males. Women
are in excess among the insane, men in
excess among the idiot;c. blind and deaf
mutes. The proportion of women who
engage in occupations outside of the
household is smaller in the United States
than in foreign countries, but in no
country is the propertionate number en-
gagged in superior industrial occupations
equal to that in this country. OF the
2.647, 600 women in occupations $780,
0C0 are engaged in agriculture, most of
them colored women in the Southern
States: 632, 600 are in manufactories, of
whom about one-half in New York,
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania; 2S2,-
600 are milliners, ETC.; so. 600 are tailors.
OF the forty-four occupations recorded
as personal service" forty find wom-
en- in them. The 525 female surgeons
of 1870 have increased to 2,473; the z
lawyers TO 70; the, 65 clergymen to 1G5.
The number of laundries have increased
from $1,000 in 1870 to 122, 600, and of
the latter los, 600 are kept by women.
This large increase shows a great light
ening of the housewives labor.-Cni-

Human Endurance.

It is an acknowledged fact that man
possesses the power of endurance to a
greater degree than any Of the lower
animals. Professional pedestrians have
been known to walk an average Of
hundred miles per day for six consecu-
tive days, which would be a wonderful
accomplishment for a horse, and u
pass all the known records Of that use
full animal. Of course a man possessing
the power of endurance to its fullest
extent must be in perfect health. One
who is troubled with weak urinary and
digestive organs, whose pulse is irrega-
Lar, whose heart palpitates, and who
feels a sense Of Cumbersome fatigue
after the least exertion, would be very
unwise to compete in a pedestrian
contest. Should you suffer from a
want Of endurance, you can regain ro-
bust health and strength by using DR..
GuySoTT'S YELLOW DOCK AND SARsA-
PARILLA. This remedy has saved thou
sands of weak, nervous, dcbilitated,

ana supporting a harmonious routine
of bodily functions, SO essential to
every ones physical welfare.

specimen Statesmen.

The Boston Herald says that JOHN
LOGAN proposes to reduce the basis OF
representation to the number Of votes
cast, instead Of reckoning the popula-
ton according to the census.
The Federal Constitution provides
that the whole number Of free persons
shall be included in the basis of repre-
sentation.
Which must yield, BLACK JACK Lo-
GAN or the Constitution One or the
other must give way.
And that same LOGAN is a model
Republican statesman.
But even if Congress has the power
to reduce representation in accordance
with SHERMAN's plan, it has no
power to carry out LoGAN's silly sug-
gestion. 1t could only proceed in con-
formity with the Constitution.
In word, there never was a more
ridiculous manifestation Of ignorance
or inpotent malice than this double
jack has just made.
But how as to SHERMAN's plan
of Furnishing the South? Well, that is
only little more plausible. That is
all. The denial spoken of in the Con
stitution is a denial by the State itself
not by persons. However, even if th'
acts Of persons could render a STATE
liable to the sort Of punishment JOIN
SHERMAN advocates, the scheme i
totally impracticable. The Democrat
