How to Make It Fay.

The inquiries how to make the farm pay five or six per cent. interest on high valuation seem rather more nu- merous this spring than usual. Quite possibly some of these come from parties who have been trying it and have not succeeded. The answer is that nobody can safely guarantee such profits, even with the best of manage ment Real estate security is among the best, and this never does and never will bring the highest profits. When Government bonds bearing three per cent. sell at premium it is absurd to expect nearly or quite that interest on security equally good. Probably in most parts of the country real estate IS held higher than it ought to be from the readiness of capitalists to lend money on security. Just in this fact lies the mistake of farmers who run in debt for more land. They almost in- evitably have to pay as interest more than they can make as net profit. There are exceptions to this, but only enough to prove that it is the general rule.-American AgricutturiSt.

Observations of Man Who Sold His
 Household Goods at Public Sale.

Ubscrva tions of Man Who Sold His
 Household Goods at Public Sale.
 If you ever have occasion to sell your household effects at auction you will have your eyes opened to the strange valuation placed 6n goods by the sort Of people who consistently fol- low such sales or make them their busi- ness. Desirous of quitting housekeep- ing, I determined to close out my household effects at one of these auc- tions' The things not reserved had cost me about $3,5OO, and I realized about $900. Sometimes man nets half of the original cost, but 1 was not so lucky. If he gets 90 cents on the dollar after eight or ten years use of the goods he has nd reason td tom plain But to my sale. We had fixed every thing in good shape, and, of course, expected the most valuable things to bring the most money. That is just what did not happen. The crowd that goes to these sales go con- tafy to assumed principles of business. Those who purchase may be divided into two classes. All are there for bargains There are the junk men and secondhand men, who get the bar gains, and the ladies, who pay big prices. You never knew woman who was not crazy to attend an auction. When house is sold out in the neigh borhood all attend chiefly out of curiosity, but they soon lose their heads and fall victim to the auc- tioneer. Every lady in the vicinity was on hand when my sale took place. When the valuable furniture was sold they kept aloof, and saw with chagrin whole sets of high-priced furniture knocked down for song to second hand dealers, who would resell them at a hundred per cent. profit. Thought 1 would get nothing from the sale, and when my pictures were put up 1 was mortified and disgusted. Iney cou1u scarcely be given away and went for five cents on the dollar: What was my astonishment, however, when l heard the ladies, who had been silent, begin to bid eagerly for small and cheap things for which would not have given any thing. A great deal of stuff had anticipated would be Jumped and turned over to some old junk dealer was taken by ladies who had their houses filled with fine goods. The ap- parent cheapness and small amounts to be spent caught them. For instance, an old hose almost worn out brought as much as a new one would cost; and a students lamp, discarded because it refused to work, was sold for more than had paid for it. The worst of all, back-stairs carpet, made up of scraps and tackled down, was knocked off for double as much as had been paid for the original new piece before it was mended. And so it went. The sale of the small things brought up the average, and most of my poorest ef- fleets were carted off by ladies who could have bought them new for the same price they had paid.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Equal to the Emergency.

Brunswick, Me-, is getting ready to celebrate its 15Oth anniversary, and already stories of the early days of the town are being set afoat. Here's one: Mir. William Walker, of Falmouth, and Miss Sibyl Staples, of Topsham, were to be married. They were on the Topsham side of the river, and on the Brunswick side was Rev. John Miller, the minister who was to per- form the ceremony, and between them rolled the raging waters swollen by the sudden spring thaw. The minister couldn't get to the anxious couple and they couldn't get to him. But he was equal to the emergency. Standing on the edge of the bank, he sent his pow erful voice across the stream, and William and Sibyl joined hands and made the proper responses, and were duly pronounced man and wife

GaIvanizing Wooden Type.

A recent French invention is report ed of a process by which wooden type $ galvanized as to the top of the letter mlv. It seems to be of curious, nther than a specially valuable char eter, but by application to large trpe, the process does, it is claimed, r,sult in the production Of stong type only a trife heav- ia. than the naked wood. It IS also caimed that the coating of copper which is applied to the letter has the effect of making it as strong as one or t,pe-metal, and so serving to preserve tie finest lines-a difficult thing to do with the wood. The galvanizing proc es is simple, for the type is placed in tie ordinary galvano-plastic bath, but its not explained just how the opera tbn is confined to the top of the letter. N. '.

 by Detroit Mother.

The Happy Thought Put Into Practice
 by Detroit Mother.
 A Detroit lady, whose friends live abroad, had her baby's picture taken and sent a dozen cabinet-sized photo graphs to Europe. Before they went she showed them to friends in this city.
 "How perfectly lovely!" they all ex- claimed; ''it looks like fancy picture. What beautiful child! I should loUe to see him!''
 This from friends who either had not seen the baby or had forgotten how he looked.
 One lady, whose senses were quite acute, was ready with startling sug- gestion.
 That child isn't yours, Mrs. -; the photographer has made a mistake. Why, he doesn't look a bit like your little Harry"
 ''H-u-s-h," said the quick-witted mother, tits all right. You know Harry's hair isn't long enough to make pretty bangs, and he really hasn't nice nose, and I borrowed baby just his size-a real little beauty, isn't he and he has all of Harry's clothes on, and his little ring. Aren't the en- broideries lovely? Isn't that little cap just too sweet?"
 But are you really going to send this picture away?"
 "Of course I am. They'll never know the difference, and isn't he lovely? Why, Harry wouldn't take half as pretty a picture, though he is darling. But you know I want some- thing extra nice to send over there"
 If this happy thought should include grown people it will not be half bad idea. Then professional beauties could sit for homely women and the science of photography would have achieved a lasting fame. After all, it is generally the likeness in a picture that condemns it.-Detroit Free Press.

 "Oh, sire!" cried the boy, implor- ingly, 'I don't know any thing about this money. I don't, indeed! Some body must have meant to ruin me by putting 1t into my pocket, and then saying that had stolen it.

ABOUT EATING CROW.
An Amusing Account of the Origin of tt
 Popular Expression.

An Amusing Account of the Origin of the
 Popular Expression.
 Having received an inquiry concern ing the origin of the expression would say that the crow has long been the emblem of contention-as Hudibras says:
 not-resolve before we go
 That you and must pull a crow.
 The same idea is suggested in Con- edy of Errors, act third:
 We'll pluck crow together.
 In common parlance, eating crow, as an expression of humiliation, is much the same as eating humble pie, but evil dently is more expressive: Its origin is too obscure to be definitely reached; but it came into use during the late re= beliion and evidently was born in the camp. Many years ago I heard the late G. P. Disosway, who was a con- firmed humorist, tell the following story, which he had received from a soldier, and I also heard 1t from Captain Ballou, of the One Hundred and Fifteenth Regimenti A private in one of the Pennsylvania regiments got leave to go hunting, and unfortunately shot tame crow belong ing to a planter, who happened to come up just as the bird was killed. The unluclzy hunter had rested his musket against tree, and the planter seized it and, pointing it at the former, ex- claimed: You can eat that crow or die." There being no escape the hunter got through with part of his distasteful meal, when the planter, relenting, said: You've done pretty well; here, take your gun and get off right smart. :" The soldier, as soon as he got the piece in his hands, immediately turned the tables by leveling it at the planter, ex- claiming: "Now you eat the rest of that crow or I'll shoot you on the spot. " There being no escape the thing was done In few days the planter had occasion to visit the camp, and as the soldier recognized him one of the officers inquired: Do you know that man ?" 70, yes," replied the planter, "we dined together last week.

The United States Steamers GaIena and
Yantic Begin Their Voyage.
BROOKLYN, Dec. l 3-Every preparation
was made to have the Galena leave her berth
ut 1890 a. m. The sailors were all at work
early putting every thing ship shape. Steam
was got up and the last thing to come
aboard were tho admiral's traps. Her fore
and maintop masts were housed in order to
avoid collision with the Brooklyn brid ge.
The wind was blowing very hard at that
hour A horde of reporters and seamen from
the other ships filled the dock
Everything was made ready, the signal to
start was given, and just as everyone was
prepared to give mighty cheer it was dis
covered that the Gaena'S stern and port
nocious mud, which forms the bottom of Cow
bay. A few Intellectual tugs were given and
then it was decided to wait for the rising
tide. At the time of the attempted depar-
ture the tide was almost dead low. The
Yantic, at the ordinance dock. had steam up
and was prepared to follow the Galena.
When the tide finally made water enough
to float the Galena she was warped out into
the canal with the assistance of the navy
yard tugs, and getting under way steamed
out into the river and headed for the sea,
signalling to the Yantic to follow in her
wake.
Contrary to expectation the steamship
Clara Bell, of the Atlas line, which got into
her dock this morning, brought no news
from Hayti.
