But tho clerk amazed me. He was
on his feet almost before the irate por-

in his oycs, little dimly, it is true,
but could see that the fire was

The Term Amateur.

There Is q vast difference between
the meaning of the term amateur in
athletic sports in this country and in
England. Over there real amateur
must be above working, not only in the
athletics but every thing else; he must
bo rich. or have q rich father or rela-
tive, able to devote all the time he de-
sires 10 athletics without devoting a
thought to where the nextloaf of bread
Is coming from. In this country we
have very strict rules, buthothing like
the English. A man may work at
any thing he desires and still be sn
amateur and rank away up If he has
the ability to win the position. Every
thing is based on merit The only re-
striction is that an amateur must not
compete with professional for money
or prize. He can give an exhibition
with n professional. but he must not
receive any prize or any share of tho
gate receipts. If he does that makes
him a professional, which is in this
country the only bar, except character,
etc.. TO the amateur ranks.-SL Louis

Those Monkey Stories.
New Y.rk Tlme,.I

Loyal knights of Labor should
view with alarm and resist with
clubs the movement to introduce i'm
ported monkey labor in this repub-
lie. The movement, to be sure, IL as
yet in its beginning. Only one Am
erican citizen Is thus far reported as
an employer of monkeys. The man
who has aimed this dastardly blow
at organized labor is J. b. Parker, of
Richmond, KY, who "has successful
ly trained seven large monkeys to
work in his hemp-feld and to break
and prepare the hemp for market"
The animals not only do the work to
tho perfect satisfaction of their
shameless employer, but at about
one.forth the cost of negro labor.
This is small beginning, but it is
fraught with all the pOrils of Gre
vasso in Mississippi lcvee. The
cruel laws of political economy will
favor the extension of the plan for
the cheapness of3nonkey labor as
compared with human labor must
weigh powerfully in favor of the
former. Already Mr., Parker has
sent his brother in South Africa for
ten more large monkeys. If this
thing is not stopped we shall soon
have millions of pauper monkeys in
this country, merely working for
their board and lodging and exclud-
ing an equal or greater number of
Italians aud Irishmen from gainful
occupations. This must not be-; the
Simian must 60.
All the objections that the swift
reasoning powers and instincts of the
hoodlum have discovered and urged
against cheap Chinese labor apply
with tenfold force to the case of the
monkey. And there are other grounds
of objection, which are peculiar to
and, so to speak, inherentin monkeys.
The monkey is and must be scab,
hopeless and irreclaimable. He can
NOT be ''organized.N He can not be
"called out.n He cah not be made TO
boycott Ehrets beer. He Is incapable
of cultivating dislike for non-union

and d0magogues, though II is con-
ceivable that in close precinct the
electorate might be enlarged TO the
desired extent by Simian porsonalors
at the polls, the facial appearance ofa
good-sized South African monkey
being sufficiently like that of the
human beings usually imported and
used for this purpose to deceive even
lynx-eyed inspector. But the
monkey in politics would be infrs-
quent and sporadic. In labor be will

A delegation of Knights of Labor
should proceed al once TO Richmond,
where they should hang these seven
scab monkeys with their own hemp,
put the miserable Parker under the
ban of perpetual boycott, and send
such letter of warning to his collu-
sive brother in South Africa as
would cause him TO abandon forth
with his abhorrent industry as a
monkey purveyor.

DRAINAGE ON FARMS.
Laying the Tile as to Secure tho Bos
General Results.

Laying the Tile SO as to Secure tho Bos
General Results.
One of The most striking indications
of agricultural progress in the prairie
States is the great yearly increase in
tile draining. Large establishments
for tho manufacture of tile are increas-
ing in number, yet in some seasons
they fail TO keep up with the demand
for drain tile. Illinois, and some 9TH
er States, have well-digested codes of
drainage laws, which facilitate drain
ing large districts in an intelligent
and effective manner. AS result of
this beneicent work, many thousand
acres of swamp land have been re-
claimed, and other thousands of arabic
land have been improved TO an extent
far beyond the cost of drainage.
But it is not alone In the
level prairie regions that tile
drainage has proved beneficial.
In tho more uneven sections of the At
lantic and Middle States it has greatly
changed the methods of agriculture.
The melting SHOWS, and the ''early
and later rains" which render an un-
drained soil too wet for cultivation,
percolate through well-drained land,
leaving it ready for the plow Thus
the season of active operation is prac-
tically lengthcned by drainage. So
general and invariable have been tho
benefits derived from judicions drain
age that it scarcely seems credible that
there was time when the entire sub
ject was regarded as debatablc even
by many leading farmers. Tho
only questions now raised arc those
concerning tho best methods, and ex-
perience is rapidly finding solutions
for these. OF the various forms of
tiles, the round is employed almost ex-
clusively, the old sole and horseshoe
shapes being little used. Tho round
tiles are the strongest as they resist
pressure from every side, on the prin-
ciple of the arch; and are more easily
kept clear of sediment than any form
with a flat bottom. Properly laid, and
especially if collars are used, good
drains of round tiles are practically al
most indestructable. While UNDER
draining may be done at any season
almost, the most favorable time Is
when the soil is sufficiently saturated
with water that very small
stream will constantly run at tho bot
tom Of the ditch. Under such con-
ditions the work can be performed
easier than when the ground is en-
tirely dry or when the water Is in
excess. A small current Of wator In
ditch, furnishes cheaper and better
index for grading than any level ever
devised. A frequent mistake in tile
draining, is that of digging the
ditch too wide. This is not only use
less waste of labor. but 1t actually
makes the grading and proper adjust
ment of the tile more difficult When
the fall lis slight, it is better TO open
the drains in considerable lengths bo-
fore laying any tile. but where thcre
Is more decent, tile laying should |
closely follow tho spading. -Americdn

The acreage Of wheat in Manitoba
has increased from 20 to 25 per cent.
This year, and the crop from present
prospects will be good one, Tho
farmers expect TO have about 5000, :
600 bushels of wheat for export this

ato figure, good profit for their labor
will be realized.
Sheep manure contains from nine
ty to ninety-live per cent of the plant

Farms arc schools. They are the
best OF all schools in which to learn
much that concerns farming. They
are the only schools worth naming, SO
far as acquiring knowledge of some
things connected with farming is con-
cerned. Teaching by object lessons is
effective. The things we see, especially
the things we do, are better romem-
bered and better understood than the
things we hear or read about. Tho

William A. Johnson, who recently
died at good old age in Lisbon,
Conn.,, was workman worthy of the
name. He was wagon-maker, and
one of his last jobs was to repair an
ox-cart which he built in 1882, and
which had been in constant use for
fifty-five years without repair. His
first job in Lisbon was to make set
of wheels. They have been used on a
farm wagon fifty-six years and are
