Words of Cheer.

Hon. Daniel bennett, of Brookhaven,
Miss, agricultural editor of the New
Orleans PtcGyu,se, is not only prac-
tical farmer, but a very close observer
and careful adviser. What he saws
about Mississippi is equally applicable
to other States where truck-farming
and fruit-growing are made prominent.
He says: 1t is an admitted fact that the
Crystal Springs and Copiah County
horticulturists have been complaining
for eight or ten years; sometimes
about low prices, at other times short
crops, blight, cracked and wormy
tomatoes, bad seasons, too wet or too
dry, greedy and sharp commission
merchants, high railroad charges, etc. !,
and yet they have been gradually max
ing money improving their places,
paying old store accounts and nv-
ing better than ever before, and
the merchants are doing better,
have more money, better credit, gain
ing more and more every year, and
the whole country shows thrift and
hopefulness to a greater extent than at
any previous period since the war, UNI
def the "all cotton craze.
Besides this, horticulture has infused
a new energy into the farmers of
Iopiah County and elsewhere, new

"A country editor wrote at consid
cradle length upon THE Future of Hog
Raising and rival editor advised
him not to be SO anxious regarding his

"A first class spread at Chinese
restaurant in New York, costs $50, but
it includes about forty courses and
takes two days to get through with,
and is set for dozen people.
"A Georgia man has mule that is
driven to school of week days, and to
church on Sundays, and is so intelli-
gent that if given the reins he will go
straight to his destination according to
the day.
Nine years ago Mrs. Manning, of
Paris, ILL.,, vowed that if her son mar
ried certain young lady who was OBJ.
jectionable to her she would go to bed
and stay there until she died. The
marriage took place, and the mother,
true to her resolution, never left her
bed until she was borne to her coffin.

Epoch.
The Scotchman has long been
noted for his fondness for vowels, a
popularity in language illustrated by
the following story: Going by a
Diapers shop man noticed a coat
and asked saw oo?" AYE, avn
Co.," replied the shopkeeper. cav
a. 'oop" was the next question. "Aye,
aw' a. Co.," was the reply. In English
the dialogue would have referred SIM
ply to the fact whether the coat was
all wool and all one wool, the answer
being Eyes" to both questions.
An experienced shoemaker says
that backing greatly shortens the life
of shoes. As backing can't very well
be dispensed with, though, he advises
that the shoes, Or rather those parts
which are polished, be literally rubbed
with oil. Such treatment, about once
every two weeks, or thereabouts, but
after the backing has first been
scraped off, will, he says, not only
make the leather more pliable, and
consequently easier on the foot, but
materially curtail the shoemaker's bill.
A traveller from Iceland asserts
that the people of that country are so
honest that crime is almost unknown.
They never lock their doors, and but
two cases of thieving are known to
have taken place within many years.
One was an Icelander who had broken
his arm, and whose family in the winter
were suffering for food. He stole sew
eral sheep and was finally detected.
He was at once put under medical care
for his injury, provisions were fur
nished for his family, and in time he
was given work. This was his punish
ment. The other case was a German
who stole seventeen sheep. He was in
comfortable circumstances and the theft
was malicious. His punishment was to
sell all his property, restore the value
of his thefts and leave the country, or
be executed. He left at once.
