Cost ola Ton of Hay.

A cores pondent of the Lewiston Jour
nal has been figuring ont the cost of ton
of hay, ana finds that where land is worth
S25 per acre, the hay will cost about SIG
per ton. 1t is allowed that a ton of hay
removes from the soil thirty five pounds
af nitrogen, thirty pounds of potash, and
eighteen pounds OF phosporic acid, cost
ing at market prices 1854. For other
fertilizing material taken from the soil
S1.60 is charged. Interest and taxes arc
reckoned at $3.50, and only 81 for cutting
curing and storing If these figures are
approximately correct, il will be seen that
farmers in Northern New England who
are selling their hay at from six to ten or
twelve dollars per ton at the barn, must
be impoverishing their farm by so doing.
Nor is there any doubt that this is the
fact Tor wherever we find men selling
hay at low prices, without buying manure,
we are pretty sure to find their farms
running out. Even at the present low
prices of milk and other dairy products,
it is better TO feed the hay than sell it at
the prices named, for by so doing the
farms can be kept fertile, and what in
come is received from the sales may be
counted largely as the income from labor,
rather than from the sale of the land it.
self. Some Of the Maine farmers who
could get but ten or twelve dollars per
ton for their hay at the barn, have found
Tint by feeding it out to good dairy cows
they can get $50 per ton for it, without
the expense of bailing it or hauling it to
the railroad station. Very few farmers
can afford to sell hay for less than $l5 per
ton, unless they can get manure at low
prices and near by. They can do better
to put little more labor to it and sell it
in the form of more highly finished
manufactured article

How Long Does The Honeymoon
Last?

DR. Talmage continued his course
of sermons on ''The Marriage Ring"
and kindred topics, speaking OF the
cares and responsibilities of the wife.
He took his text from the story OF
Martha and Mary, Luke, x, 40: "Lord,
dost thou not care that my sister
hath left me to serve alone; bid her,
therefore, that she help me-" In his
sermon DR.. Talmage said:
When the husband returns home
from the shop, factory, OR stock ex-
change, he calls all the household wor.
rice nonsense. Oh, my man, let me
tell you your wife is a woman who
has to conduct at the same time a
university, a clothing establishment,
restaurant, a laundry, a library;
has to be health officer, police officer,
and president of the whole realm.
She has had a thousand things to do.
A housewife has to rise in the morn
ing half rested, and must have the
mornings repast at an irrevocable
hour. 1t is no matter if the fire won t
draw, or if the marketing has not been
sent in. The children must be prepar-
ed for school. Perhaps their garments
need mending or a hat or a sash is
lost, but still they must be ready.
Then she has the diet to prepare for
the day or perhaps for several days.
The spring has come and there must
be renewal of the family wardrobe,
or the autumn has arrived and there
must be warm clothes to shut out the
north winds. O, man OF business,
had you half so many cares, you
would be "a fit candidate for the Bloom
ingdale Insane Asylum. l see also in
my subject, trial and severe economy.
Out of every thousand, nine hundred
and ninty-nine householders are sub
jected to it to a greater or less extent.
It is especially so wherea man smokes.
Then he will be very particular in en-
joining economy at home. It is what
kills many women-making SIS do the
work of 81. A young woman about
to enter the marriage state, asked her
mother:
GLOW long does the honeymoon
last?"
The mother replied: t"The honey
moon lasts until you ask your hus-
band for money"
GLOW much do you want?' the
husband asks.
IA dollar"
"a dollar! Won't fifty cents do?
You are always wanting a dollar"

Saved a Kentuckian's Life.

Chicago Herald.
A Rock Island train had just left
Moline, ILL.,, and was slowly crossing
the bigiron bridge over the wide waters
of the Mississippi, when tall
passenger, with huge moustache
and watery eyes looked out from
under SLOUGH hat, jumped excitedly
to his feet and shouted:
Conductor! Hyah, Conductor!
Are we in Iowy yet?'
''No, responded that official; but
what if we ain IT,"
"Then stop this train. Stop her,
quick. Stop her!"
"But I don't see any reason why
the train should be stopped"
"stop her, l tell We. By so doing
you can save the lite OF one of your
passengers. I beg OF you stop the
train"
The conductor, wondering at the
cause OF this strange request, hest
tated a moment, and then reached for
the bell cord. In few seconds the
train came to a standstill, when the
excited passenger again inquired:
care you sure we are not in Iowy?"
The conductor looked out of the
car window and assured his passenger
that the train was still in Illinois.
''Then," replied the man with the
big moustache and watery eyes, "you
have saved my life. thank you.

Pathetic History Of New York
Model.
Cincinnati Commercial.

Cincinnati Commercial.
A beautiful woman was admired at
the last picture exhibition of the Lotus
Club, New York. She was on canvas
in a frame, but as big as life, and so
natural that she easily reigned queen
over all the alive women in the as
semblage. There was nothing indeli-
cate about her. She was adequately
clad In q white wooden robe, which
draped her perfect form in classic style,
though she was labeled modern girl
at her toilet; and the ribbon round
her hair, while it was like the circlet
OF a Greek goddess, was presumably
for mere convenience in holding up her
hair temporarily. The clever idea
was to create a medieval effect with
wholly modern material The face
and arms were those of a stately
blonde, her pose was commandingly
erect, her color was that of trimming
health and spirits and she looked a
very prosperous individual. The art

In response to special inquiry, he said:

CUPID,

Is there man more grossly stupid
Can you earthly marksmen find,
Like this so-called boy-god Cupid,
Mischievous and color-blind?
Now, he takes dart from CULVER,
Aims at tender hearts-but look!
1t has pierced the young mans liver,
And has struck her pocket-book.
Look again! With glee inhuman
Flies the arrow DER it's track
Rich and learned and white the woman,
But the man is coarse and black.
Thus the boy-god takes his pleasure,
Aiming wildly shooting wide,
Ever filling up the measure
OF distress and humbled pride.
Were he mortal, he would suffer;
But keep well this thought in view:
He would make some pathway rougher,
Were this flesh immortal, too.

Next day the Westborough hide
pendent contained a long account of
the incredible and really scandalous,
outrage to which one of the most
respected members OF the legal profess
sion in our town has been subjected;;"
and it need hardly be said that, in a
day or two, the course at which the
worthy magistrate had limited was
adopted. Mr.. Boldon brought his ac-
ton against the railway company for
false imprisonment and malicious
prosecution.
AS everybody knows, Westborough
is an assize town, and the case of Boil
don v. the Great Railway company
excited a good deal Of public interest.
Everybody wished to know how the
law stood on the question, for every
body had had occasion sometime or
other to travel without ticket.
Mr.. BASTARD, Q. c., was counsel for
the plaintiff, and nobly he performed
his task. He pictured his client, a
member of an honorable profession, a
gentleman Of delicate and sensitive
feelings, dragged by theruthless hands
of the police through the crowded
streets on Saturday night, exposed
to the rude gaze of the ieering mob,
and shut up in a cold lonely cell for
the greater part of two whole DAYS.
And all for what? Because this gen
tleman had the courage, the public
spirit to resist an unreasonable and
illegal impost. twas the interest Of
every railway traveller-he might,

Flee are the most annoying dogs
that frequent our homes. They
bark for hours at night, keeping
the neighborhood awake, when
sleep is the thing desired. The
barking, too, is often without cause,
other than a desire to make a noise.
This brings to mind a joke told of a
Judge, who had been the recipient,
frequently, of ironical remarks by
young sprig of a lawyer; and
when asked by a member Of the
bar why he permitted these little
insults without fining the cur, said: /:
"My father had a little dog, once,
that would, when the moon shone,
sit upon his launches for hours and
bark at the great luminary Of the
night" Some one said, "Judge,
what was the result Of this bark
ing?" "Why," said he, "the moon
went right on"
These barking fee are found in
almost every community, but the
objects they bark at 60 on.
