TWO FARM ERS.
Two Ways Of Investing the Profits From
the Farm and Garden.

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
a horse, and then must take the old
mare that can only be induced to hasten
out of her slow walk by a thorough APP
plication of the stick.
Every rod of the smaller farm does
its work. Manure is respected
friend. The crops raised are those
that sell for cash. The soil does not run
out because the farmer makes bust
hess 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 fertilized.
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 pay? Not a 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 part of mine in comfort. l
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 I like my little
farm. 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?'

best? Which are you followingF

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 we're being
imposed upon by q substitute for cow >
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, ut
the same time there is not much temp
tation 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 a white insipid stuff
that resembles milk in color and con-
sistency but there tho 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.-Agriculture.

BOLD FRAGOSA.
Woman Bull-Fighter Who Has Become
Renowned Throughout Spain.

Woman Bull-Fighter Who Has Become
Renowned Throughout Spain.
There was great bull-fght at Aran-
iuez recently which was attended by
eight thousand citizens of Madrid. The
chief attraction was Lagartijo, the
greatest of bull-fighters. who, after the
performance, was feted at a great BAN
quet at which four hundred of the most
distinguished citizens sat down. But
Lagartiio must now look to his laurels,
as he has redoubtablc rival. This
rival is a woman named Fragosa. She
is torers of the first rank. and tho
different cities contend for her presence
on grand occasions. Her real name is
Dolores Sanchez. and she was born in
Seville. in the celebrated Triana fau-
long. She is the daughter of poor
parents. She entered the service of q
modiste as an errand-girl at twelve
years of age. But she soon developed
a liking for sport. and some two years
ago she appeared on horseback in the
ring. as door-opener of the torel.
through which the bull plunges into
the arena. She was applauded with
frantic enthusiasm Last year she
figured in the fights and killed three
bulls in one famous corida. She then
appeared in the ring at Arabel, Acala
and Guadaira, and brought down her
furious antagonist every time. This
year she has also killed several bulls at
Cordoba. Jaen. Linares and Vailecas.
In the last-naned place. when she adj
vanced and flung out her mantle, the
bull advanced stealthily and then made
a sudden plunge. sending her flying in
the air grievously wounded. She was
removed from the ring, but reappeared
. few minutes afterwards, and, after
several scientific passes. killed the bull
with splendid thrust most artistically
delivered. La Fragosa has now some
grand engagements for the perform
ances at Cadiz. Grenada, Malaga, An
tequera, Ubeda. Linarez, Montoro.
Seville. Barcelona and Valentia. She
is . girl of medium height. of exquisite
figure and pretty features.-Aodrii

ON A BEAR HUNT

How Grizzlies Seize Each other whes
Struck by a Bullet.
Several days ago Hendrick, the
hunter, was camped on Bear river, in
Colorado. With him was young
tenderfootjust from the East. Trapping
was pretty good and the two men let
the meat supply of the camp run down
until there was nothing left but lin
trappers' phrase coined for city society
..sow abdomen. So one evening the
hunter and the tenderfoot started out
after fresh meat.
They soon found it, for scarcely a
mile from camp they ran on to whole
family of grizzlies, half dozen in all.
As the bear family showed a decided
inclination for closer acquaintance,
the introduction at once took place, the
rifles of the hunters serving as masters
of ceremonies. Though the men fired
as fast as they could and bear after
bear was knocked down. the brutes
rose to their feet again, and the bruin
family still came on. The rifles kept
up their incessant crack, however, and
at distance of twenty yards the old
she-bear, the leader OF the family. fell
to rise no more. Forty shots had now
been fired, and with only three cart
ridges left between them the hunters
were glad indeed to see the remainder
of the savage family party turn tail and
disappear among the surrounding rocks
and bushes.
On examination eight bullet holes
were found in the old she-bear, five Of
the eight having lodged in vital parts.
The next morning the hunters took the
bloody trails leading in various direc-
tons. and in an hours time all the re-
naming bears were found dead. making
six bears bagged in bunch.
During the fight the wounded brutes

bear was struck by bullet it would al

rough and tumble fight would ensue.
The old she-bear on severa! different
occasions grabbed her cubs and tossed
them high in the air, catching them as
they fell. and numerically .chawing"
them. 1t was to this singular custom
that the hunters probably owed their
lives. as it delayed the progress of the
ferocious family until the deadly rife.

EMPRESS OF LOTA.
4 1ich Woman Who IL Potentate In the
Heart OF . Free Republic.


I notice an interesting paragraph in
An English journal which informs u
that a Leith firm has just completed .
handsome screw steam launch, which
has been built to the order of Mrs.
Couteno. South American lady. who
is reported to be the richest woman in
the world. The launch. which is built

and is to be employed as . tender to
her large yacht. (The large yacht is
engaged at present in the unpretend-
ing but profitable trade of carrying
coal from Lota to Valparaiso.) It ID
deliberately fitted up in polished ma
hogany and is to be dispatched forthwith
by one of the mail steamers from Liv-
erpool for conveyance to Chill.
Besides being the richest lady in the
world, she also enjoys the singular
privilege of being Empress over 4 tract
of territory called Lota. which lies
some two or three hundred miles south
of the port. 1t may appear strange to
speak of an Empress in the heart of a
free republic, but nevertheless the
fact exists, and SO absolute are her
Majesty's powers that there are few
of her subjects who would be
resolute and courageous enough to
claim the possession of their own i'm.

pared to deny that on the making Of
the place special arrangement was
made with reference to coal deposits
between the Divinity and the reigning
monarch.

is carried on. much as it is in Ireland,
by means of Viceroy, with this excep-
ton, that while the Irish are not in

Of having slight say in their destinies
either in this world or in that which is
to come, such supernatural effort
never enters the simple and uncom-
planning minds of the population of
this remarkable portion of Gods foot
stool. And why should it be other
wise? The Viceroy, or boss Pasha,
and his court have been so long accus.
toned to licking and cleaning the boots
of their sovereign mistress, and passing
along their own in return to their
subordinates. who perform a similar
but humber task, and keep the ball

There was probably no happier home in
America than that Of Mr. James V. Allan of
Philadelphia. There is probably none more
miserable to-day. Four weeks ago Mr.. AL
Ian had bright and attractive child that
Was the pct of the home, and the joy of all
his friends To-day no childish voice is to be
heard in the house hold for it has been still
ed in death Mrs Allan noticed that the
child was ailing, that it failed to take its food
properly or with'relish, and that something
seemed to be troubling it, but she thoughtlt
was only of a temporary nature and would
soon pass away. She now knows that then
was the time to have taken the disease be-
fore it had obtained Judgement i'll the little
child's system.
Children require more careful attention
than adults. They are in the formative Pc
Rod. The slightest influence effects unpleas-
antly. and it is an easy matter to invite de-
sease. The fathers and mothers of America
need not only to be very careful of these
things, but to see to it that the child is help
ed and strengthened by those means which
have been proven purest and best. Probably
nothing of modern times has shown so much
efficiency in this direction a. the wonderful
Volina Cordial which is attracting so much
attention in a the leading Cities of the land
and is being talked about 30 generally The
nature of the Remedy itself, however, is
such that it is unusually adapted for the
stomachs of children, while it is none the
less valuable when used by the fathers and
mothers. 1t is these qualities which are
making it so popular and it is these qualities
which are destined to make it the most
popular medicine of modern times.
Any parent who wilfully or carelessly neg
lects the slightest symptoms of disorder in
his or her child, is criminally responsible for
the sickness or death of that child should
such melancholy event occur. We are COM
PEELED to believe that where such neglect
does occur, it is thoughtlessnesS, but the re-
suits are none the less disastrous, and there
are thousa DIS of homes in America to-day
that mourn the loss of departed children
which might be made joyous and happy by
their presence, had the parents only exer-
cised the p oper precaution and care. Such
facts should come as warning to all pa
rents and cause them to not only guard their
own health, but to exercise greatest care
over the health and lives of the little Deepen
dent creatures who can not exercise such
care ever themselves.
