COLUMBUS BIRTHPLACE.
N Corsican Town Whose People Ar
Rudely Upsetting Biography.

"a corsican Town Whose People Are
Rudely Upsetting Biography.
While statesmen and patriots are
busy making history, the citizens of the
little town of Calvi have been indus
triously upsetting biography. Every
one knows that Christopher Columbus
was born at Genoa. The intelligent
schoo[boy has read it in the geography
books. The handwriting tourist has
noted it in his Baedeker. The statue
to the great navigator has been set up
just outside the railway station, regard
less alike of expense and (the critics.
say Of nature. No one can come in or
out Of the city without being impressed
by the fact that he has seen it. The
citizens of Calvi have endured this for
years, But the inhabitants of an
island which produced a Bonaparte
werenot to be silenced by statuary or
guide books. Recently they revolted
and claimed their rights. Such festivi-
ties we're held in honor of Columbus
that all Corsica must regard his birth
placeas settled. A marble tablet has
been let into the front of the house
wherehe was born, and Calvi claims,
hencebrth, an indefeasible honor.
Unfortunately, some sixteen miles out
of Gen,a the frontage of little mean
tavern p the village of Cogoleto also
exhDiBa remarkable plaque. This is
the inscription engraved upon it,
''Stpp, traveller. Here Columbus first
saw light. This too straitened house
was he home of man greater than
the wrld. There had been but one
world. Let there be two,' said Col
umbus, and two there were" Till

grandilauence, Cogoleto is safe.

TWO FARM Frs,
Two Ways of Investing the Profits From
the Farm and Garden.


Two farmers we know own two
farms which join. One farm contains 80
acres, the other 10. The farms are
in New England. Farmer A. with his
so acres has time TO go to church, to
the picnic and Grange. Time and
again, while out riding with his family,
he passes by farmer B, toiling in the
field with never athought for any thing
but labor. Farmer AS wife has horse
of her own, which she can drive as she
likes. The boys and girls have books
and magazines and the time to read
them. Mrs. B. has to beg for days for
horse, and then must take the old
mare that can only be induced to hasten
out of her slow walk by thorough APP
plication of the stick.
Every rod of the smaller farm does
its work. Manure is respected
friend. The crops l-1ised are those
that sell for cash. The soil does not run
out because the farmer makes bust
ness of keeping it up. On the larger
farm there are weedy pastures. The
manure is put into small strips of the
best land. The grass is never fortified.
The soil is expected to make up in area
what it lacks in quality. Farmer B.
makes money, for he never spends any.
He looks across at his neighbor and
sneers. Do these extra horses, these
books and papers payP Not cent in
cash. Farmer A. puts it like this:
''Neighbor BIS idea of true profit is
different from mine-that's all. He
wants his in hard cash; I'm ready to
spend a part of mine in comfort. /
can't spend my money to better adj
vantage than in making my family con-
tented. could save this money and
buy more land, but like my little
farm. l feed it and it keeps its strength.
Why should / spend the best part of
my life in continually grubbing for
money that will never benefit me?"
Now, friends, which plan do you like
best? Which are you followingp
What is your idea of true profit? Is
your money in the bank, or is it invest
ed in happiness? Think it over

IMITATION MILK.
An Obnoxious Fluid Composed of Potash,
Glycerine and Other Chemicals.


The air is so full of rumors of frauds
practiced in the dairy business, or
rather on it, that credit is now given to
the story that San Francisco has been
the victim of imitation milk made from
nitrate of potash, glycerine and other
pleasant chemicals. 1t is SAID the peo-
pie of San Francisco have been fed on
this compound for many months with
out finding out that they were being
imposed upon by substitute for cows
milk. 1t was only the other day they
made the discovery, as this imitation so
closely resembled the pure article that
only the bottled fed babe could detect
it. All of which reads very nicely, at
the same time there is not much temp
cation for the man who knows all
about cows milk to take much stock
in this story, for it is hard enough to
keep genuine milk tasting like itself
without trying to initiate it with
foreign compound. 1t is easy
enough to make q white insipid stuff
that resembles milk in color and con-
sistency but there the likeness ends
and the taste soon tells that something
is wrong about it, though, of course,
the unaided taste can not always tell
just what the matter is.--Agrtculture.

The human body is much like a good
