Bill Arp on Farming.

It's wonder to me, says Bill Arp in
the Atlanta Constitution, that everybody
don't GO to farming. Lawyers and doc
tors have to sit about town and play
checkers, and talk politics and wait for
somebody to quarrel or fight, or get sick;
clerks and bookkeepers figure and mul-
tiply, and count until they get to count
ing stars, and the flies on the ceiling,
and the peas in the dish, and the flowers
on the papering; the 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
people do not belong to themselves; they
are all penned up like convicts in q chain
gang; they can't take day nor an hour
for recreation, for they are the servants
of their employers. There is no profes
sion that gives a man such freedom, such
latitude, and such variety of employ
ment as farming.
There's no monotony upon the farm.
There's something new every day, and
the changing work brings into action
every muscle in the human frame. We
pow and hoe, and harrow and SOW, and
gather it in at harvest time. We look
after the horses and COWS, the pigs and
sows, and the rams and the lambs, and
the chickens and the turkeys and geese.
We cut our own wood, and raise our own
bread and meat, and don't have to be
stingy of it 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.

may be mistaken, but it seems to me
little higher grade of happiness to look
out upon the green fields of wheat and
the leating trees and blue mountains in
the distance and hear the dove cooling
to her mate, and the whipporwill sing a
welcome in the night, and hunt flowers
and hubby blossoms with the children,
and make whistles for 'em and hear 'em
blow, and see 'em get after a jumpin'
frog or garter snake, and hunt hens
nests and paddle in the branch and get
dirty and wet all over, and watch their
penitent and snbdued expression when
they go home, as Mrs Arp looks at 'em
with amusement and eXclaims "Mercy
on me; did ever a poor mother have
such a set Will l ever get done making

WISE WORDS.

Behavior is a mirror in which every

Idlers cannot even find time to be

What makes us like new acquaintauces
is not so much any weariness of our old

gust at not being sufficiently admired by

hope of being more so by those who do
not know so much of us.
A plain man often looks with envy on

- A funny story concerning some poll
ticians in the Thirteenth district is aHoat.
Ex-Alderman James Pearson has an inti-
mate personal and political friend named
DIR. Gilbert, district politician of some
repute. One day, not long ago, DR..
Gilbert called on Mr.. Pearson and told
him he had friend whom he wanted to
have appointed driver on the Twenty
third street railroad.
''Oh! that's all right" said the alder
man. "rll give him letter to Mclean,
the superintendent, and that will fix
him all right"
The alderman wrote letter,
which satisfied DR.. Gilbert, and it was
turned over to the would-be driver,
who in due course of time handed it
to Superintendent Mclean. The superin-
tendent read it and told the applicant
there was no vacancy on the line at that
time. Some time afterward Alderman
Pearson, DIR. Gilbert, and a number of
other politicians were gathered in the
Utah House, and the conversation turned
on the trouble officeholders had in pro-
vidinR places for their constituents.
"But I've got the railroad business
down fine,n said Alderman Pearson. 81
know Mclean, the superintendent of the
Twenty-third street railroad, and when
a man wants position on that line
give him letter to M3Lean. When it's
written in black ink Mclean knows he
needn't give himself any trouble about
it, but when Iuse red ink Mclean knows
I want the man appointed"
ooh, ho," said DR.. Gilbert, looking
queerly at the alderman, 81 see, I see.
The letter you gave me the other day
was written in black ink"
The crowd roared, and when the jolly
alderman tried to explain the croIN only
roared the louder. .-Ne,o York 1fns9S.

The Illuminating Ram.

A solemn visaged old ram, with long
wool, was one day browsing in a valley
with a large number of animals, and
after the weather had been duly dis
cussed, he remarked:
"Now, just look at this suit of
clothes. Here's something strictly first
class. You don't pick up raiment like
this on this road I'm sorry you fellows
can't dress in this style, but it can't be
helped. You see / am stylish gentle
man by nature My clothes are the
cynosure of all eyes"
The animals passed on without re-
plying. In a few days the sheep-shear-
ing took place, and the old ram, along
with the other sheep was deprived of
his heecy garments, and made to look
very naked and home!y. Soon after this
humiliating experience he met the ami
mails in whose presence he had boasted
OF his fine clothes.
"Wer Major" remarked the Goat,
addressing the Ram, ''you seem to be
stripped for Turkish bath.

What One Tree Can Do.

There is a tree in Madagascar of which
the natives make their houses. What of
that2 Well, it is not anything extra
ordinary, is itl We have several kinds
of trees in this country any one of which
can be used for making houses too.
But then it is principally of the leaves
of this Madagascar tree that the houses
are built, and that is odd. Indeed, be-
fore we have told all about this tree it
will be seen that there are few trees in
the world half so wonderful as it is.
When it is growing it looks like a
gigantic palm leaf fan. The trunk is
bare to the top, from which the enor-
nous leaves all spring. These leaves do
not branch out in every direction, but
stand up side by side, so that they form
a half circle, and give the fan-like ap'
pearance.
1t is the middle rib of the great leaf
that is used for making walls and parti-
tions of. The ribs are twined together
very much as willow is with us in basket
making. The part of the leaf that is
left after taking the rib out is used for
thatching the roof with. OF course such
house is not very grand one.
The good tree has not done all it can
yet, however. TIE native Of Madagas
car likes to have his house carpeted, and
so he applies 20 his tree. He strips off
the bark in one great piece, stretches it
out, beats it with round stones, and
dries it, and, behold thick soft car
pet as wide as four breadths of Brussels
carpet and from twenty to thirty feet
long.
Still the good work of the tree is not
exhausted. There comes long hot and
very dry season every year in that part
of the world, and the wells refuse to
give any water. Then the tree is ready,
and the thankful man goes to it. With
his spear he makes a hole at the base of
one of the great leaves, and out spouts
stream of fresh, pure, and almost ice
cold water. Each leaf has about quart
of water to yield up, and no matter how
hot or dry the weather, it never fails.
But even yet the good tree has SER
vice to perform. When the dry season
comes around, the houses very naturally
become dry too, and then they take fire
very easily. OF course there are no fire.
engines there, nor any pumps even, and
so fire might easily spread and burn
down whole village if there were not
always at hand an extinguisher of some
sort. There stands the tree, with its
leaves charged with water, and when fire
occurs the men run and tear off the
leaves, and with them beat the burning
house. The water runs out, and the fire
yields.
There, then, is a tree which gives to
man his house, his carpet, his fountain
of pure water, and his fire. extinguisher.

Greenland Vegetables.

In Greenland attempts have been made
to raise some of the common plants of
European gardens. At the Danish sta
tion of Godthaab, close to the open sea,
turnips, radishes, lettuces and parsley
are almost the only plants that can be
cultivated with any success. The turnip,
indeed, requires a favorable summer to
produce anything like tolerable speci-
mems. The cabbages are scarcely wor-
thy of the name; but at two inland s'a-
tions up the ford, about thirty miles
narth of Godthaab, the climate is strik-
ingly different. Here, DR.. Rink informs
us, turnips always come to perfection; /;
carrots prosper well, and attain a fair
size; and cabbages, though unable to
develop thick stalks. yet produce tolera-
bly, large leaves, which the provident
Danes stow away for winter use.
Attempts have been made to cultivate
potatoes, but the tubers never attain a
size larger than marbles, and are only
grown aud eaten as curiosities. Under
the most favorable circumstances green
peas only produce shells, in which the
peas are barely recognizable. This
is within the Arctic circle, or at
least on its immediate borders. In South
Greenland-the sight of the old Morse
mems Observation-Disclosures is prac-
tised under more favorable circum-
stances. AT some of the posts, in about
the same latitude as Chrstiana, good
carrots have been produced, and in a
forcing frame strawberries have grown
well, and yielded fruit for several years,
but they afterward died, owing proba-
bly, to the severity of the climate.
At Julianshaab turnips often attain
weight of half pound, and are fit for
table in the middle of July. Radishes
are fit to be eaten in the middle of June.
Rhubarb grows pretty vigorously, and
can be raised from seeds. Green
cabbage attains good size, but never
the normal taste and puugency of the
vegetable. At Jakobshayn, DR.. Pfah
used to raise few radishes, and the To-
cality being sheltered, the tiny patch OF
earth on the rocks, which in that remote
place passed for garden, produced
''crops" almost as luxuriant as Godthaah
in the south.

The Symptoms of HydrOphObia.

The first symptom of hydrophobia is
a sulky disposition. The dog sinks
away under bed or lounge when in the
house, or into the darkest corner of his
kennel, or under an outhouse, and tries
to escape notice. When called out he
comes unwillingly, and goes back as
soon as possible. He is very nervous,
and frequently rearranges his litter and
skulks about from one corner to another.
His eyes show the change that is coming
on. Dogs sick with any disease are apt
to seek dark corners, but in hydrophobia
they are invariably restless. The next
symptom is temporary hallucination. He
seems to hear something, and jumps up
and runs to the spot, or snaps in the va
cant air as if for fly, or stands in an
attitude of expectation. This symptom
is often overlooked, or, if noticed, is
ignorantly supposed to indicate a return
of health. Another symptom is a de-
PRAYED appetite. He ceases to take his
natural food, and swallows bits of wood,
old leather, and all kinds of filth. The
voice of the dog is then changed,
becoming hoarse and lower in
tone, beginning with single open bark,
followed by three or four diminishing
howls from the bottom of the throat.
The saliva, which at first is abundant,
dries down and becomes ropy. The dog
tries to clear it from his throat, and acts
as if he had bone fast in his teeth.
Many people have been fatally bitten
when trying to help dog get the i'm
/ aginary bone out. Folio wing this come
the paroxysms Of fury which causes him
to fly at everything he meets and death
| follows from exhaustion if the disease is
/ allowed to run Its course.
A common and dangerous error about
hydrophobia is that the dog cannot and
will not drink water. The dog drinks
