Romance and Common sense.


Bacon's merit lies in the fact that he called
the attention of scholars and thinkers to the
value o. earth and material sciences; and
urged them to gather up terrestrial data in
stead of transcendental data, and instead Of
seeking definitions OF mind, !" "soul,' "angel. Z"
"fate, "man," horse and ETERNITY" these
thinking leaders should gather up all the in
formation possible about the soils, grains,
winds. rains. instruments, machines, arts
and appliances of society, and then draw
conclusions that would compel general ad-
vance.
Open any one Of the great books Of the
older world and there is an amazing omis-
sion of the domesticsarts and sciences and a
wonderful attention TO things moral, imag-
mary, fanciful, romantic, and fantastic.
Angels, imps, nymphs, large and small dei-
ties, dwarfs, giants and ghosts are born out
OF the fertile human fancy as sparks rise
from a shaken fire, but in these thousands Of
years no thinking mind touches a plow or
reaping knife or any implement 10 make it
do more good and with less labor The
ground is plowei with a crooked stick, the
harvest Is cut With a case-knife; and while
women and children are reaping. and thrash
ing the one-third crop, the 10000 birds eat
up fourth part Of the ripe grain and an
other fourth part is taken by the tax-farmers
who scour the country like jackals a; night
on a battlefield.
Hence great famines and diseases came
a "a swept away millions. The so-called
thinking men were too busy in the regions Of
abstraction and fancy 10 admit of their be-
slowing any attention upon the strdy of
harvest fields, production, implements, dis
ease and health.

An Attraction That Never Eai
Her Name was Vanderbilt.

One summer day Mrs. Vanderbilt got on
New York Central railroad train at some
station up in Westchester county. Along
came the conductor just as the debonnaire
little woman in black awoke TO the fact that
her purse was missing. She tried to explain,
but the conductor was up TO all the tricks OF
the railway travelling trade. He only smiled
looked astute, and suggested that that sort OF
a game wouldn't work on a wise man like
him. ''You must ,'how your ticket, or pass,
or pay your fare" he said, ''or else l viii
have To put you off at the next station "
tt. passenger looked archly up to say. ''oh.
no, YOU won't; I'm going to New York.
''No pay, no ride qaoth the sententious con
ductor. IF you were Mr.. Vanderbilt him
self you'd have TO conform TO the rules of the
road or get off, Well" was the retort
perhaps Mr. Vanderbilt would get off, but,

of stuff; do you understand" Her looks
showed that she was in earnest The con
ductor did understand. She finished hes

A Problem In Wood.
Cor. Foreign journal. !


The problem has puzzled many why two
pieces of wood, sawed from the same section
of tree. should possess very varied char
acteristics when used in different positions
For example. gate-post will be found 10
decay much faster if the butt-end Of the
tree is uppermost than would be the case il
the top was placed in this position. The
reason is that the moisture OF the atmos-
phere will permeate the pores Of the wood
much more rapidly the way the tree grew
than il would in the opposite direction.
Microscopical examination proves that the
pores invite the ascent of moisture, while
they repel it, descent. To make my mean
ing more clear. will mention the familiar
case Of wooden bucket Many may have
noticed that some OF the slaves appear 10 be
entirely saturated, while others are appar
entity quite dry. This arises from the same
cause-viz, the dry slaves are in the posi-
tion in which the tree grew, while the
saturated ones are reversed.

Growing Grain.

CHICAGO, May 26.-The Farmers Re-
view, in its weeks summary of the crop
outlook, will print thesfollowing in connec-
tion with the reports of its correspondents
received up to May 80; Fairly launched
upon the growing season of 1885
every item of crop news at the
present time, and in fact for the next three
months, is of more than usual interest.
Our detailed reports last week showed that
seeding was nearly finished in the spring
wheat belt, that the outlook for winter
wheat is poor, and that slow progress had
been made with corn planting. The pres
ent week will see allsthe crops fort the grow
ing season of 1885 in the ground AS we
approach the harvest of winter wheat we
can see nothing at all in the general situa-
ton by which we desire to change any
of the statements made with regard
to this important crop, and
as we have said., we now repeat that the
country does not yet realize fully the wide
spread destruction of this crop. That every
bushel of spring wheat now in the ground
will be needed and the farmers will get
a good price for it, we have
not the slightest doubt. We hope next
week to be able to lay before our readers a
very full and detailed report of the wheat
situation, both spring and winter, OF the
Northwest"
