A friend of the writer's who for more
than forty years has been in the en-
ployment of the Dutch Government
bears personal witness to the preva-
.ence of the custom in Sumatra up till
recent times. He was once making
scientific Investigations In the interior
of that island, and was being enter
tanned in the most hospitable manner
by the native Rajah, or Chief, of the
place he was then in. A feast had been
made to which he was hidden, and to
which he went, taking his own native
servant with him. The banquet had
proceeded for some time without inter-
ruption, when at last, as a crown of
the feast. a beautiful brown roast joint
was brought from the back of the house
to the open airy place where the repasi
was being held. This was cut up with.
out remark, and handed around, and
the Dutch gentleman was on the point
of eating his portion, having raised
part of it to his lips, when his servant
rushed forward and stopped him, say
ing: master, master, do not eat-it is
o boy" The Chief, ON being ques
toned, admitted, with no small pride
at the extent of his hospitality, thai
hearing that the white man would feasl
with him, he had ordered a young boy
to be killed and cooked in his honor
as the greatest delicacy obtainable, anc
that the joint before them was the bes
part, the thigh. Gentlen,en's Magazine

Tho skeleton in Mos, Closets.

Few houses have as many closets as
the ladies like, yet, in Difference to the
known fact that they will always try to
induce their husbands to take house
with seven closets in preference to one
with six, they usually have more than
the landlord likes.
Closets are not always innocent
from sanitary point of view. Many
things which it would be disagreeable
to have in bedroom are packed away
in the closet; the housekeeper forgets
all about them for months, and they are
often treasures of moth and mold.
The closet reserved for the soiled linen
of the family is the worst one. DIR.
Benjamin Richardson has very truly
said that people which was really civ
ilized would have thoroughly venti.
lated room set apart for the entire fam
ily to undress in, where the clothes
could be hung upon rods and thorough
" purified by draughts of cold air dur.
ing the night. From these remarks the
conclusion may be drawn that closets
in which clothes are kept ought to be
ventilated. Philadelphia Record.

of the institute work of the state,
whose duties shall be to receive APP
plications and petitions and arrange
for the holding of such institutes and
to prepare programs, make announce
ments and as far MS practicable attend
and superintend them in person; to
examine and certify to all bills for
expenses or compensation of instruc-
tors and at the end Of each year, TO
make detailed report of the institute
work done under his supervision.
The entire amount to be appropriated
for institute work as provided by the
bill is $500. per annum and we know
of no way in which the farmers of the
state can be benefited to Il more pro-
fitable degree than through the eX-
penditure of such anamount in these
practical schools of agriculture.
Farmers Institutes may be made to
the farmers of this state (and to even
a more profitable degree we believe)
what the Normal schools and Teachers
Institutes are, or should be to the
teachers of the state and never was
the time more opportune than at
present for their establishment. The
great majority of the farming classes
are SO situated that they can not at
tend our agricultural colleges, state
fairs and state national conventions.
Many are of foreign birth and I'M
familiar with the common and practi-
| cal methods of farming on American
soils. They are unacquainted with
| the conditions that influence our agri-
| culture; unfamiliar with our language
especially in it's printed form and
most unfortunately circumstanced to
| successfully compete with the expert
enced and practical farmers of older
states. What they learn must be
learned largely by bitter and hard
earned experience and in gaining that
experience, they are sure to make
many grave mistakes. II is the duty
of the state and government to aid
| them by furnishing them with the
practical results of the experience OF
the country, that they may avoid the
errors of others and become more full,
| ly informed concerning the effects o.
their own system of husbandry. These
Institutes are intended to bring out
something more than tine-spul
theories; they are to develop and de-
monstrate practical truths in a plair
and practical manner and their pur
pose is to make practical progressive
and successful farmers of those who
will attend them and profit by
the instructions given. We mos
heartily endorse Representative
Erickson's bill and trust that it ma.
soon become an efficient law.-Mon

armers INSTITUTED

Last Friday, Representative Erick-
son of this county introduced bill
into the legislature, that if it becomes
a law, is destined to have great in
fuence upon the future prosperity of
the agricultural districts of the state
and of the people engaged in agicultu-
raj pursuits. The bill provides for the
appropriation of moneys out of the
state treasury for the maintenance
of County Farmers Institutes, SINH
lar in character to the one held at
Montevideo last March, but other
wise under state control. The bill pro-
vides that any county in the state that
maintains a County Agricultural So
ciety or an association for the promo
ton of agriculture, horticulture, dairy
ing orstock breeding, may make APP
plication through the officers of such
society for such an institute, and also
such other agricultural counties as
may present the application of their
County Commissioners or a petition
signed by not less than 25 residents
and Taxpayers and that if it be found
that such counties will be materially
benefited thereby, that institutes may
be appointed and held at such times
and places as shall be especially con-
venient to the farming classes and
that they shall be entirely free to the
public. 1t provides that not to ex-
coed 500. shall be expended out of
said appropriation for any one county
institute SO held and that the moneys
be expended only for the necessary
and legitimate expenses of the insti-
tutes. such as board, travelling ex.
penses and compensation for services
of regularly appointed instructors. It
also provides for the appointment, by
the Governor, of some person deemed
especially competent to take Charge

Litchfleld News Ledger: "The
powers that be" are making strenuous
efforts to persuade the legislature to
make an appropriation of 100000 to
enable the state society to fix up it's
new grounds. Now, it would
seem to US that the society
could get along very nicely with the
little sugar-plum of $4,000, and
the legislature could donate the
other $25 900, to the county societies
of the state, aud in thus assisting
these worthy organizations, confer q
benefit both upon the people at large
and upon the state society. Far be it
from us to say that the latter should
not have assistance; ON the contrary
swe insist that it is of great importance
that pecuniary aid should be extended
in that direction, but at the same
time we contend that the state can
well afford to help the primaries
feeders of the state eociety, even if it
is necessary to encroach upon the
100000 appropriation asked. We
hope that this matter will attract some
little attention, and feel certain that
a partial exercise of reas oning powers
will lead to similar conclusion.
