PITHILY PUT.

Kind treatment is an equivalent OF
food.
The greatest enemy of agriculture
is ignorance.
The mule is hardy and handy, if
not handsome.
If you would have your boys profit
by your mistakes, don't repeat them.
Some farming is like an old jack
et-frayed at the edges and very
thin elsewhere.
Growing a boy on the farm is a
mighty good foundation and prepar-
alton of him for any honorable bust
ness.
There is this difference between
the poor and the good farmer; one
complains of the bad seasons, the
other rejoices in the good seasons.
Two horses of one kind will do as
much work as four horses of another
kind, and it ought not to be hard to
determine which is the more prof.
table.
When a man comes half a mile to
borrow hoe or a fork, you may de-
pend on his coming some day to
borrow money. but never coming to
pay it back.
Perhaps it can't be remedied, but
it is, nevertheless, pity that the
creature flattered by the nod of a
politician casts vote that counts as
much as the ballot cast by true
man.-American AgricultWrist or
November.

November in the Garden.

The sunfiowers in the garden
Are bending limp and low
The cornstalks, brown and withered,
Stand rustling in row.
We were SO fine" they murmur,
. A little while ago 70
The sky is gray and gloomy
Without the sunshine's glow.
There is no smiling anywhere
Unless oh, gladstone show!
Twelve plump and golden pumpkins
All beaming in row!
They say, "Why so despairing?
We're always here, you know,
At this upleasant season
Expressly sent to show
The need of glad Thanksgiving,
In spite of frost and snow"

Charles Summers Unhappy Wife.

Said an old resident of Washington in
the lobby of the Ebbitt, last night ::
Charles Sumner was great man in some
respects, but he never ought to have mar
ried the woman he did. | doubt if he
ought TO have married any woman at all.
Mrs. Sumner was a good Christian. She
was widow when he married her, and ow-
ing to the terms of a will she surrendered a
fortune. Summer had no religious faith,
and he insisted on having diplomatic re-
ceptions at his house on Sunday night.
You know he was Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. This was terri
bly, painful to Mrs. Sumner, and consid-
crate husband would have respected her
feelings. Then again, Sumner cared
nothing for going out, and Mrs. Sumner
did. One Of her acquaintance was gen.
tleman of one of the foreign diplomatic
corps and he called three or four times
to escort her to places, as is the custom
in all European countries. By and by
Sumner grew insanely jealous, and went
to the man and asked him what his inten-
tions were. He went further. and through
his influence had the man recalled. This
produced an explosion. 1t was too much
for Mrs. Sumner, and she went to Paris to
join her brother By the purest accident
she met the gentleman in Paris about
whom Sumner had grown so violent in
Washington. The situation was an awk-
warn one, and she returned at once to her
friends in Boston. She had given up her
fortune to marry Sumner and was with
out penny, but some one died about that
time and left her comfortable income.
She was noble, Christian woman, of per-
fectly blameless life, and the greUtest mis-
take she ever made was in marrying
Charles Sumner HHdshinqton Post.

even the Oldest and best informed man
in the trade" said an experienced salesman
in the grocery business, Cannot begin to
tell anything about the wonderful traffic
in food. Figures don't seem to express
the thing so that anybody can realize how
enormous the business is. Now, everybody
knows that corn makes only small part
of what anybody eats. mean by that,
nobody eats corn enough 10 make it a
principal article of diet. Yet there is an
establishment in Maryland corn factory
they call it-where there are 100, 100000
cans week put up and sold. Now, con-
slider that this is only one establishment
out of hundreds in this country and thou
sands in the world, where fruit is put up
in cans. Then think that corn is only one
small item of food, even among the canned
goods. And then remember that canned
goods are merely fraction of the food sup
ply, and you viii be ready to acknowledge
that the food industry of the country is
too great to be readily grasped by the i'm
agination. More than three-ffths of all
the workers of the world are engaged in
handling food.-N. Y. Mda and Express.

Cuteness.

The colloquialism cute appears to be
older than Goldsmith's ''Good- Natured
Man." In the ''Percy Anecdotes: Benevo-
lence" there is story of an old woman
who addressed Arbuthnot as "a cute doc
tor" No reference is given, but if it is
genuine contemporary anecdote it brings
cute up to the time of Queen Anne. Foote
uses cute in "The Commissary" 1765),

FRENCH POLITICS.
Another Bouiangist General Aspires to
the Chamber of Deputies.

INC OhdmDer Oh DepuIiess
PARIS, December 25th.-General Boulan-
gers cause has received an immense Access
sion in the candidacy of General Montalbon
for seat in the Chamber of Deputies. His
appearance as a candidate in the Depart
ment of Somme, conjoined with that of
General Boulanger, opens favorably for the
Boulangists a most momentous election
campaign.
The Ministers feel the danger greatly,
sid to-day they held council at Elysee to
consider how to face the situation.
General Montalbon's election ADDRESSES a
frank espousal of the Boulanger pro-
gramme. He denounces the Chamber of
Deputies and generally adopts Boulanger's
policy.
Boulanger gives notice that he will be a
candidate for the seat in the Department of
the Seine made vacant by the death of NJ.
