Literary Mutual Admiration.

The true reason, we suspect, why no
one who can be spoken of as a successor.
at however long an interval. to Dickens,
Thackeray, or Macaulay, has yet ap-
peared, is to be found In the broad fact
fact that, whereas during the first FIVE
and-twenty years Of the century, a novel
lists, historians, and pamphleteers wrote
before all things for the general public,
and with an habitual eye to the effects of
humor and humanity, which arrest and
delight the attention of mankind en-
masse, those who have come after them
are animated rather by regard for the
traditions of particular school or fear
of the criticisms of the special coterie to
which they are affected. Mutual adj
miration societies are fatal to the devel-
opment of English novelists built on the
lines of Thackeray and Dickens. The
awe of cliques, and the slavish anticipa-
tons of the verdict which may be pro-
nounced by the shallow aristarci of a
little knot of pngs and pedants are In
consistent with the free play of thought
and the catholic exercise Of fancy which
give the world books that it would not
willingly let die. Our itterateurs ap-

Mrs. Marmaduke- oh, dear! 1 have

she showed me her baby. Such thing.
I did not know what to say. 1t was too
awful for anything. A head and face
like Bartlett pear, a nose spreading all
over like batter cake, or two or three
macaroons run together; no eyes, and a
mouth that made one think of jelly fish
or some such thing that squirms and
opens and shuts that one sees in the
aquarium. Oh, declare, I was perfect
" dumb, and felt Like fool. 1 could
not for the life of me think of anything
to say.
Mrs. Papadulix-I have a standing
phraze ready for all such emergencies.
Mrs. Marmaduke-Oh! Then In pity
impart it to me, and I will call down
eternal blessing on your head.
Mrs. Papadulix-Oh,it is very simple;

A Guaranteeing Dog.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
Minister Tyler owned large dog
named Watch, and Watch objected very
strongly to being shut up in the house
alone while the family went to church
He soon learned what Sunday prepare
tions meant, and. often contrived to &C
to church himself-much against Mrs
Tyler's consent.
Every Sunday series of maneuvres
took place between the two, in which
Watch often proved himself the keenest
Sometimes he slipped away very early
and Tyler, after having searched for him
to shut him up, would 60 to church and
find Watch seated in the family pew,
looking very grave and decorous, but
evidently aware that it was too late now
to turn him out.
Sometimes he would hide himself until
the family had all started for church, and
would then follow the footsteps of some
tardy worshiper who tiptoed in during
prayers.
The minister's pew was very near the
front, and Watch, as il understanding
that much depended on his good beha-
vior, usually conducted himself in a
very digniied manner.
On Sunday, in the midst of an i'm
pressive sermon, MI. Tyler repeated in
an earnest, eloquent manner, the word
swatch! watch watch, I sayr when
rustic, rustic, bounce, came his big dog
almost into his very arms.
Honest Watch had teen sitting with
his eye fixed, as usual, on the minister.
At the first mention of his name, up went
his ears, and his eyes kindled; at the
second he was still more deeply moved;
at the third he obeyed, and few COM
pletely over pew rail and pulpit door
with leaps that did equal honor to his
muscular powers and his desire to obey.
After such strict Interpretation of the
letter rather than the spirit, Watch was
effectually forbidden church-going.

SEAR-EYEl

Now. little star, I'm tucked safely in bed,
There you arc shining, far over my head.
Shining and peering right into my eyes,
As though You were laughing up in the skies.
I'm wide awake, too, and as glad as can be,
There re so many things you can tell to me-
ON how Eve puzzled 30 know what you are
And now shall ask you, dear little star
They say God sees all in His wondrous might
D1d he put you there to watch us at night!
And all day long, though we can't see You,
Do you still shine aloft, watching US, too!
Tell, do You know. when l m naughty or good?
And where do the daisies hide IN the wood2
When it rains SO hard, is it that You cryI
Or do you always laugh, bright little eye?
Sometimes the sky is SO still and SO blue.
Say, little star, do you ever peep through
Poep at Jne angels IN garments of white!
Are their harps of gold; and their crowns of
light?
Perhaps you're our eyes, and, when we're
asleep,
VOC fly to the skies in a shining heap.
All that we dream is, perchance, what you see:
And when daylight appears away you fee:
New, pretty star, am going to sleep:
Yo1 can have my two eyes, but not to keep:
want them again with the morning light.
Good-by, little eyes; little star good night.

The First Strike.


The first strike among our working
people, writes Boston correspondent OF
the Hartford Post, was at Dover, N. H.,
in 1927 or 1928. The Cocheco works
we're established in 1920, and the opera
tives were almost entirely American girls,
who deemed that weaving and spinning
were better than farming, and became
"factory girls" on the erection of the
works at Dover Falls. A small factory
up the river was No. 1, and the works at
the falls were Nos. 2, 3 and 4, as I believe
they are at the present time. Everything
went on spinningly and smoothly until the
year of which write. There were exactions
on the part of the corporation that the
Independent spirit of the fair spinners
and weavers could not brook. A rule
was made that the great gates should be
shut at bell ringing, and those who were
in late should go through the counting
room passageway to be marked for re-
duction of pay, largely disproportioned
to the delinquency. This gave great
offense, other measures awakened
opposition, and on a fine morning
the mills were idle. Every operative
was out, leaving the overseers to run
them alone. They met at some conven-
lent square, and forming procession,
with band, and bearing the American
flag, they paraded the town, under a
leader whom I very well knew year
later, and stalwart, manly guard of one
for their protection. The corporation
came down at once, the offensive rules
were withdrawn for the time, and every
thing went on tremendously. But there
arose again threats of war between Jas.
F. Curtis, new agent, and mill No. 2.
He was not fortunate selection
for the office, as he had been sea
captain, and endeavored to introduce a
ships discipline among his crew of girls.
1t would not work, and general irrita-
ton prevailed The climax was reached
when he ordered the windows OF No. 2
to be nailed down. This was done over
night, and in the morning, when they
found out what had been done, and one
of the loom girls had tainted, their anger
knew no bounds. A strike in the mill
was the consequence. I saw the
excited crowd from the upper win.
dow opposite, and such clatte1
of tongues has not been heard
since Babe. Agent Curtis was sent for
and went among them, angry at first, but
that bird wouldn't fight, and he came
down to coaxing and begging them to
return, arguing the necessity for the
mailing down, which excited them the
more, until he compromised the matter
by allowing the windows to be opene5
part way. Other inducements were
given and they returned to their work
but during the alteration with him they
had spotted his black coat with cottor
locks until he looked like a new descrip
ton of leopard.

Potato Culture.

FotatO Culture.
Prairie Farmer.
Many good farmers cling to the
method of planting in rows both wavs.
1t permits clean culture by horsepower
alone, even il the yield is not as manv
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Robert y.
Nicolaides, Randolph County. m. do.
scribes his method as follows: We gen
orally pillow the land in autumn, which
leaves it smooth and mellow. In spring.
when dry enough to work, pillow again.
and with turning pillow clay Off" the
rows about two and half or three feet
apart each way, dropping one piece of
potato at every crossing; cover with pillow.
When cutting the seed for planting al
ways begin at the small or top end, and
split lengthwise, so as to leave two or
three eyes in each piece. As soon as the
sprouts begin to peep out of the ground,
throw one fnrrow on each side of the
row with small turning pillow, so as to
have low ridge. Then, with a light log
or harrow, scrape off the ridges, SO as to
leave them nearly level; breaking few
sprouts will do no harm. The quantity
of seed per acre is from six to eight
bushels, according to size and quality
The varieties mostly grown here are early
Ohio and early rose for early, burbank
and peachblow for late The quantity
grown per acre is from $50 to $50 BUSH
els, according to the soil.
Mr.. John Cobb, of Cerro Gordo coun-
ty, To-, also cultivates his potatoes in
rows both ways, but apparently dis
penses with cross-plowing in spring. He
writes: 81 choose my potato patch in
the fall and enrich it quite heavily with
wel-rotted stable manure, then pillow it
deep, say ten inches. At planting time
in spring I mark it off with common
three-row corn marker. Beginning in
the center of the field with sixteen inch
pillow turn "a shallow back furrow about
four inches deep across the marks that
are just made. Then drop three pieces
of potatoes, with one eve in each piece,
In the burrows opposite the mark and
turn furrow upon them. Thus 1 pillow
the entire piece, dropping the potatoes
in every third furrow, always opposite
the mark. This leaves the hills in rows
both ways, and they can be cultivated as
easily as corn. I dig them with the same
pillow, thus saving the back and the hoe
usually get about one bushel to the rod
of ground. I prefer early rose and beau
ty of hebron for early varieties, and bur
bank and Mohawk for late"
Mr.. r. RYAN, York county, Neb..
writes that he meets the best scccess in
cutting the seed potato to single eyes,
and planting but one eye in hill. This,
he claims, will produce a crop of uni
formly good size. He adds: By all
means pick out the finest of the potatoes,
of every other crop, for seed, Small
seed may produce good many potatoes
in the hill, but the crop is likely to be
small and uneven.

How to Run q Small Farm.

If the farm is all tillable, I should di-
vide the sixteen acres into four sections
OF four acres each; but it is not necessary
to fence it, except the four acres where
the house and barn stand. This plat 1
should divide up in the following way.
Two acres for house, small lawn, kitchen,
garden, barn-yard, etc. This is rather
large, think, and less would do if the
house and barn are in the right position;
but call it two acres. Then one acre for
fruit blackberries, raspberries, currants
and strawberries. One acre for poultry;
his acre should be set to pear, ounces
and peach trees, and plum can be added
if thought best; this affords good shade
for the fowls; I find that the trees do
much better where the poultry run than
those where they do not. On this acre
I would have four poultry houses, with
yards for runs of one-fourth acre each,
and should keep twenty-five In each
yard-one yard of either buff, white or
partridge Cochins for sitters; one yard
of Plymouth Rocks or Wyandotts and
two of Leghorns -the Cochins for sitters,
the Plymouth Rocks for early broilers
and the Leghorns for eggs. The re-
naming twelve acres should use as fol-
lows; four acres for clover, four acres for
soiling crops and the remaining four
acres for corn and potstOes. On SO
small place wheat and oats do not pay,
as Mr.. Leonard has already shown. The
twelve acres should be rotated with clo-
yer, roots, millet, fodder corn, and any
thing that will do for feed.
On this place four cows and they
must be good ones, not necessarily Of
long pedigrees, but of individual merit)
can be kept for the first two or three
years; after that more can be added.
The manure from the four cows, one
horse and 100 hens will go far toward
enriching the land Apply the hen ma
nure, well saved, to the hill, as the best
results are obtained in this way; utilize
every corner with something that will
either sell, make fodder for the COWS or
food for the hens, and my word for it the
Young man with the sixteen acres will
have profitable business at home; with
..his little farm well TILED and his little
wife well willed," he will be as content
ed as those who roam their hundred
acres over. One other thing ! will men,
ton, and that Is this: Put in patch Of

Expense Of English Aristocracy.

London Truth.
As almost every member of the cabine.
is eithera peer OF peers relative, it may
be well to keep in mind what our peers
and their relatives have received from the
state between 1859 and 1884. Dukes,
e9, 76O, 900; marquises, sS, BOO, $50; earls,
s48, 181, 202. These are large sums and
assuredly no ten thousand families OF
those who are not peers have received
-hundredth part Of this amount. 1t
may be an excellent plan that the execu-
tive should be in the hands of the aris-
tocracy, but cheap it is not. These Brah-
minis know how to take care OF themselves
and their relations.
