"What curious, questioning feeling people have about second marriages And the feeling increases directly and with rapid intensity as marryings multiply. A Western widower was condoled with by his neighbor in this wise: I know what afliction means, am living with my fifth wife And the lone widower's face lighted up with a sm1le. A new England wo7 man expresses her indignation be- cause the Widow So-and-so was about to be married a third time 'ButJ said her friend, if your house burns down, wouldn't you build anOther?' Maybe I should was the reply but if I'd been burned cut twice, I should think twas time to go boarding"
 Fritz Heiner is the professional grave-digger of Texas town. He did not always pay his taxes promptly, and one day while he was hard at work digging grave, and had got down about five feet into the bowels of the planet, he perceived a dark shadow between himself and the sun. Looking up he perceived deputy sheriff.

 In 1860 the wood industries employ ed 130,OOO persons; to-day they em- ploy 340,0OO while the value of thelr annual product has trebled. The wooden industry employed 60,000 per sons then, and now employs 160,000, while our home mills, which produced goods of the value of $80,000,000 Iii 1880, now turn out an annual product worth $27O,OOO,OOO. The iron product amounted to 9OO,OOO tons of ore; to- day it foots up over 8,OOO,OOO tons a year, almost a ninefold increase. The silk industry employed 5000 persOnsi now employs about 35,000, seven times as many.

Making Changes in FARMING.
ondence Country Gentleman.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
Farmers often make changes in their business
some paper that a farmer has realized small
fortune in few years by raising certain crop,
or by keeping certain breed of animals or
fowls They think they can do quite as well by
adopting the same course. without knowledge
and without experiences they EN- bark in the new
enterprise, only to fail. They discover when it
is quite too late that they are not suited to the
new kind of business, that their places are not
| adapted to it, or the time for engaging IN it is
past The report that a farmer somewhere
| realized $500 per acre on an onion, celery or q
| strawberry crop, has had the effect to turn the
heads of many farmers They neglect their old
| standard crops to plant those with whose culti-
walton they are unacquainted, and for which
| there is no market near where they i've They
become financially embarrassed Then creditors
press them, and they obliged Co part with
| their farms at sacrifice, and to commence life
| over again in a new locality. Every time that
| potatoes onions or broomcorn happen to reach
| high figure thousands of farmers hasten to en-
gage in their culture, often In places where the
climate ard soil are not adapted to their growth,
| and under Circumstances totally at varince with
| the growers experience. Those who succeed IN
| producing good crops find that the market is
overstocked, and that prices have fallen below
| the cost of production.
| It seems to me very unwise to cause radical
changes to be made in the management of a
| farm, and costly improvements undertaken,
without due deliberation. 1t is not out of the
| way. nor is it to be condemned, that all farmers
should acquire all the Information relative to the
requirements of every new CROP and in thinking
Of introducing IL in an untried locality the cost
of obtaining seed and the facilities for sending
the product to market, should be carefully con-
sidered The statement Of those who have seed
| to sell should be viewed with suspicious eyes, as
they are interested parties.
The Bohemian oats, the Russian mulberry and
Iron-clad Russian apple tree vendors each have
contributed to the discomfort and failure of
those who embarked in the production Of them,
to their painful sorrow. The profits of raising
certain special crops, for which there is never
large demand, have been greatly overestimated
by interested parties. All the accounts of
cess have been published but the men who have
experienced failure have preserved respectful
silence.
Winter is the best time for considering the
claims OF new crops, and for gaining information
respecting them. It is also the best time for
learning about the comparative value of the
different breeds of animals and fowls, the profits
of bee culture, and the cost of understanding
1t affords the most leisure for gaining informa-
ton about dairying and the erection of wind
mills. Most farmers have little to do during the
winter except to take of their stock and
prepare fuel They have time to read and study.

The Farmers Garden.


| Now let us look at the profit of the farmers
work. An acre, if we'll cultivated and literally
enriched will yield from forty to fifty bushels Of
shellsd corn, the cost of producing which will
be fully onehaf Of what 1t will bring in the
market, and during the winter it will take two
thirds of the other half to feed the horses that
have done their share of the work. This will
leave the farmer, say, SO per acre profit Let us
contrast this with the profits to be derived from
the garden, not imaginary profits, but real ones.
And to be plain, we will give the result OF our
own experience, as the writer is farmer and has
a garden, a good one; an acre that yields more
profit than any ten that are devoted to ordinary
field crops. We take an oblong piece of ground,
convenient to the house. and three times as long
as it is wide; we enrich 1t we'll, pillow deeply and
harrow finely. Instead of having beds we plant
ali the seeds in rows running the whole length
of the garden. On one side we commence with
a row of blackberries and raspberries next row
of currants and gooseberries; then two or three
rows of strawberries; after that vegetables in
order peas, potatoes; corn for roasting-ears,
beets, onions tomatoes, in short. a full line of
garden vegetables. From this acre we have
constant supply Of vegetables and small
for the whole year. Where the peas
and early potatoes were grown we sow turnips,
beets, and put in celery plants sufficient to last
all winter, while the small fruit plants yield
enough for the table and for canning purposes
as WELL The tomato-vines give us all we want
to can for the season. From acre have
at least two quarts per day of something for the
table for every day in the year 1t takes but
poor scholar to estimate the value Of the acre
for the family's use. The cost of working the
garden is no more than that of working an acre
of corn, as the work is very nearly all done with
a horse and cultivator il these are used intelli-
gently but little other work Is required, and to
do this well it does not require half a day each
week to keep the garden in perfect order.
There Is an additional profit to be derived
from the garden that cannot be computed in
dollars and cents 1t is the moral and intel
lectual influence that makes 1t truly profitable.
We don't want our boys to think there is moth
ing on the farm but pork potatoes, cabbage and
hard work. On the contrary, we want them to
feel and know that labor on the farm, rightfully
employed. will furnish as many or moro luxures
as can be found In other pursuits. We think a
good garden is good teacher, and profitable
one. 1t contains many object-lessons which
tend not only to build up character, but to in
crease q love for the farm and for the home.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Good. Confidence Gaining Foothosd
and the Purse-Strings Loosening.


and the Parse-Strings Loosening.
INDIANAPOLIS, April %.
The last week there has been a decided i'm
provement in trade in nearly all departments.
Merchants are regainng confidence and the out
look is Frightening. It is matter Of congratu-
lation that the conflicts between employers and
employees so common elsewhere are not seriously
disturbing the relations between capital and la
Dor in this city. In fact the State
has been quite exempt from strikes
of ugly and unwieldy proportions So far as we
can 1earn the employers are operating their
works with profit, and the employees are earning
fair, even generous, wages. In consequence of
these favorable local conditions and the forward
ness of the spring, which has brought summer
weather into April, the retail trade of the city
was seldom If ever more active and profitable.
Our merchants in every department are doing a
most satisfactory trade, the retail business being
really more active than during the same period
of last year. This condition of local prosperity
would be universal If the same favorable rela-
tions existed everywhere as it does here be-
tween capital and labor. The local market pre-
sented no new features to-day. Sugars are hard
~ in as strong position as last week, although
quotably unchanged. The coffee market retains
its frmness Stocks of canned goods are we'll
reduced, and prices are strong in most lines.
Budd g. Co., say in their price current of eggs,
butter and poultry: "As the Easter demand is
now over the market is lower; receipts are quite
heavy and demand light. If there is any one
thing that this market does not want at present it
is roll butter. The warm weather. to use phrase
of the street, has paralyzed it,, and it is hardly
salable at any price. Furthermore, it will not
keep, and packages which came in full day or
two ago are not more than two-thirds full and
getting strong. 1t is not salable and cannot
be kept, and hence must be sacrificed at what
evar rrica fhs nm willing buver will nav for IL
This fact can be better understood when we
state that all butter sells slowly at present, as
usual on a declining market, buyers taking sim
ply enough to supply their daily wants, in antic-
ipation of still lower prices The market all
around is so unsettled that it is difficult to quote
prices accurately. The receipts of poultry are
very heavy; dull market East; prices lower"
