 When Lyman Dunning was travell- ing through the western states last June he observed the wonderful effects of irrigating land, and he resolved to try the experiment of irrigating one of his large meadows in East Canaan.

The Food of the Poor.

Prof. Atwater, in January Century.
THAT the rich man becomes richer by saving
and the poor man poorer by wasting his money
is one of the commonest facts in daily expe-
rienee. 1t is the poor mans money that is the
most uneconomically spent in the market, and
the poor mans food that is worst cooked and
served at home.
II took occasion to make some inquiries my
self among the Boston marketmen. and one
very intelligent butcher, in Boylston market,
said:
Across the street over there is an establish
ment which employs good many seamstresses.
One of them comes to my place to buy meat.

Want of Courtesy to Children.

Why are not people more courteous to chill
drena People appear to think that while good
manners should be strenuously exacted from
children precept in this connection may stand
instead of example and that orders may be
they were devoid of natural feelings and per-
ceptions. AS matter of fact, if, when people
want children to do something for them. they
would address an equal if they would thank
them for little services rendered, speak to them
gently. answer their reasonable questions civilly
and avoid unnecessary comments upon their APP
pearance they would have far less trouble in
teaching them to behave with like consideration
for other. This does not that children
should be continually waited upon, that their
faults should pass unnoticed or their conven-
fence studied before that of their elders-merely
that, as ST. Paul says, they should not be
provoked to wrath.

Not for an Ex-Confederats.


Speaker Carlisle is about the sanest politician
in the country. Himself free-trader of the
most pronounced type. he had too much sense
to listen to the free-trade olamors for the pun
ishment of Randall. Himself Kentuckian, he
had too much sense to put ex-confederate at
the head of the military committee. He under
stands that the placing of this committee in the
hands of man who was active in the rebellion
is neither good sense nor good politics He
frankly informed General Wheeler that he did
not think it proper to appoint an ex confederate
to this place.
For contrast, note the nomination of Lamar
for the Supreme Bench by Mr.. Cleveland: This
position is even less open to such an appoint
ment than the military committee. 1t is court
of last resort and must pass on questions of
treason concerning which confederate is pre-
JUDGED by his own action. Lamar does not re-
gard the action of jeff Davis as reasonable,
since he declares that man shall call Davis a
traitor in his presence. And this is the attitude
of most ex-confederates. Speaker Carlisle takes
entirely reasonable and proper view of the
matter and his action is rebuke to the stu
pidity of the President-and a rebuke to any
Republican Senator who is disposed to vote for
Lamar'S confirmation.

Mr.. FIagler's Hotel.


The great event of the year in ST. Augustine
will be the opening of the Ponce De Leon Hotel,
certainly the finest hotel in America and per-
haps in the world. Its cost, finished and
furnished, will exceed three and a half million
dollars. A days board at Ponce De Leon will
cost $40 for ordinary rooms. The Opening
will be made notable. Solid trains of palace
will be run from New York, Chicago, and
other great cities. and thousands of guests will
gather from every section of the Union. The
opening is set for Jan. T. Mr. Barrett. who did
Peters Park, had charge of the landscape en-
cheering for the hotel.
Someone asked Mr.. Flagler, who is quoted at
twenty millions most of which he made in the
Standard Oil Company why he built such an
expensive hotel. 1t was in contrast to his bust
ness habits, which were close and accurate. He
said:
II can answer best with an anecdote. An old
friend of mine in New England had been dea-
con in the church for forty years. One night
he got drunk and tore up his native village.
There a sensation of course The next
morning his preacher called on him. The dea.
con met him, and said, II was drunk last night;

The Chaplain Is Blind.
Pniladelphia Telegraph

The Chaplain of the National House of Repre-
sentatives may have information inaccessible to
the general public in regard to the ways and
methods of the alleged statesman whose spir-
itual interests he is supposed to preside over,
out to the outside observer his remarkable pc
tition of yesterday concerning '.overwork" and
its perilous effects will seem quite inexphcable
The average member of Congress. any other
legislative body in this country to-day, is never
a victim to overwork in any legitimate sense.
Here and there conscientious public servant
becomes a victim to too great zeal and too close
application to his duties, but in great majority
of cases, it is just the contrary-it is over play
in other words. too frequent and too prolonged
seasons of recreation, that breaks up the politi-
cal pilgrims to the national capital Let the
Chaplain devote few spare hours to looking
into this matter. and he will find abundant oc-
casion to admonish those in whom he seems to
take such deep interest as to their lively ways;
he will find the necessity of changing the char
aeter of his remarkable petition of yesterday in
a very striking particular. HE that hath Gears
