NOTES..

Charles Francis Adams died at his
Boston residence on Sunday last.
Any honorably discharged soldier
or sailor in the late war is entitled tc
burial in national cemetery, and the
government bears the cost of inter
ment.
A writer in an exchange says that
he has fed for three seasons his entire
herd in milk on green rye, and the
improvement in quality of milk, cream
and butter is marked. Green rye
makes butter gilt-edged. He uses nc
coloring for butter.
When one thinks that nobody cares
for him, and that he is alone in the
cold and selfish world, he would do
well to ask himself this question :
"What have | done to make anybody
care for and love me, and to warm
the world with faith and generosity p
1t is generally the case that those
who complain most have done the
least.
There is no reason why individuals
should not differ about tariff, coinage,
civil service reform, and still be gen
tlemen or ladies', meeting in business
or society in a perfectly friendly way {:
but we have known party feeling to
run so high in small villages that the
wives Of the leaders on one side
would socially snub the wife of a
leader of the other party for no other
reason than her husbands political
affiliations.-N eaU England Farmer.
Heretofore we have been accus-
toned to look for the approach of
Asiatic cholera across the Atlantic,
but it seems now to have chosen a
different path. Commencing in Ara
bia, it at first took a westerly course,
and after lowering over France, Ger
many and Italy for time, made three
long strides across Asia, and settled
down in Japan, where it is making
havoc among the natives of that
island. Having thus changed its
course from westward to eastward,
we shall not be surprised to see it en-
ter the United States on the Pacific
coast.
Though the earthquake shocks at
Charleston gave occasion for good
deal of speculation on the causes of
seismic phenomena, an authoritative and
generally Ineligible summary of the
conclusions of geologic science upon
that interesting subject is still needed.
This task is now to be performed by
Major j. w. Powell, Director of the
United States Geological Survey, in an
article which is to appear in The Forum
for December.
Death has been uncOmmOnly busy
during the past two years among men
prominent in political life. The list of
those who have fallen victims to his
power includes the names of eX-Vice-
President ColfaX, eX-President Grant
and Vice-President Hendricks, besides
Gems. Mcclellan and Hancock, Samuel
J. Tilden and Horatio Seymour, who had
been candidates for the presidency. EX-
President Ruthford B. Hayes and eX-
Vice-President William A. Wheeler
alone survive of those who have filled
the two highest elective offices in the
republic.
The latest bulletin of the agricultural
at Washington gives the
following estimates of crops for this
year: Corn, 200 zoo, 900 bushels: pota-
toes, 1913 900 900 bushels: hay, f., O00, 600
tons; tobacco, 4S5, 100000 pounds. 1t
would seem from this that there ought
to be little danger of starvation prices
for the present, especially as there is
no lack of other agricultural products
to complain of. There will be enough
to supply the export demand as well as
that for home consumption, and proba-
bly, something to spare, unless quota
lions decline sufficiently to tempt buyers
for foreign markets to greater degree
than at present.
