Careless PeODle of India

Our farmers need never fear India for good
wheat These people are too slovenly in their
manner Of cleaning it ever to send a good
article to England, and, as the commissioner
governor of this district told me, they will
not change their habits. They hand weed
the fields SO that no foreign seeds mix with
the wheat, but they clean it in the ground,
and the rniddleinen throw in dirt and coarse
sand to increase the weight l have examined
quite quantity here in bag, IN the baEaar,
and found it shamefully dirty. One seller
wanted me to buy. l told him was from
Chicago in America he innocently assured
mo he would make his bags tight so that
could take it home with me By the way,
will explain that in hand wedding fields
everything Is saved; what is pulled up is
necessary food for cattle
Another thing will ultimately tell against
India as a wheat country. Manure is caro-
fully picked up and dried for fuel The land
needs it and cannot get it Trees are scarce:
leaves, coarse grass, and excrernent Of cattle
keep the natives in fuel These people are
poor beyond any others have ever seen, and
will not become well enough OFF TO become
Land improverS They are not lazy-they
work hard, but keep themselves poor by the
ceremonies which their very religion seems
to mako necessary when their children
marry. This hardly seems credible, but
am informed by Intelligent people that they
save almost exclusively for this purpose and
cover themselves with debt and mortgages
when savings prove inadequate

Mr.. Depew's Correspondence.

1t was late in the afternoon, and yet a
mass of correspondence remained upon Mr..
Depew's desk. / was never more strongly
convinced that great men occasionally have
to work.
why can't people write letters on one
pager he exclaimed with pleasant assump-
ton of wrath, as he held up the bulky re-
suit Of some correspondents efforts II never
saw anything in my life which couldn't be
condensed to fit sheet of good sized letter
paper"
The rapidity with which Mr. Depew went
through his pile Of letters-reserving some
and handing others to an assistant-was truly
surprising. He has evidently acquired the
art of getting at ''the meat" Of a story in the
shortest possible time. To see him do it gives
one sensation similar to that produced by
the wonderful feats of a juggler. You can
not help admiring the perfect control Of the
faculties necessary to such celebrity.
''This l must read myself" Comply with
this request Put that with other papers
relating to the case" he said, almost with
out pause. His assistant retired with both
hands full of papers Then Mr.. Depew turned
to his visitors. Two were newspaper men
who had come to ask him what he thought
of the strike ! have never seen anything
heater than the way in which be refused to
say word, and at the same time put the
journalists in good humor. Afterward,
when it came my turn, he had not the same
reason to keep silent on the subject about

But look, If you please, beyond the lee bul

churning mass of fierce waves They seem

After the spring house cleaning is over,
and the freshly cleaned furniture and orna-
ments are replaced in new and more effective
positions, it often happens that we suddenly
discover, in some conspicuous place, some de-
feet III the wall unseen before; perhaps a
screw has broken the plaStering where a
bracket had been, or there is gummy SPOT
where some autumn leaves had been fastened
Many devices will occur to the young house
keeper for covering up such a spot. One
way is by making a crazy fan" for the pur
pose. Take large newspaper for founda
ton, and measure, perhaps, yard one way,
and two yards the other. OF course, smaller
size would answer, and might be pretter,
but it would not be so impressive Cover this
foundation with all sorts and shapes of wall
paper scraps, leaving strip eight inches wide
along the lower part. Paste the scraps on
neatly, but without any regularity, crazy
quilt fashion, and then cover the eight-inch
strip with plain turkey red or black cambria.
Have the scraps as varied as possible. One
fan that | have seen has bits of wall paper
different in color, from deep red to delicate
blue, from dark olive green to cream color,
and some of them are sprigged with gold OF
dotted with silver.
If you want your fan 70 be very strong anG
handsome throughout you can cover the back
with thin pink cambria, or a pretty paper of
one color. After this, fold it regularly back
and forth fan fashion, and press the folds sc
they will keep their creases. Fasten this
folds together at the plain and with few
stitches and bow, letting the rest of the fan
spread open This, put up against a wall, is
really pretty decoration-that is, il you
have been able so secure fine and well con-
trasting scraps of wall paper Apart from
its use in hiding spots on the wall, or to cover
the unsightly hole in the chimney after the
stove has been removed for the season, it
may be a souvenir of pleasant visits in the
houses of ones friends, or of remembered
rooms in some former honey ouths Com

THE WORLD.

The world is queer old fellow.
As you journey along by his side
You had better conceal any trouble you feel
II you want to tickle his pride.
No matter how heavy your burden
Don't tell him about it, pray,
He win only grow colder and shrug bis shoulde'
And hurriedly walk away.
But carefully cover your sorrow,
And the world will be your friend,
If only you'll bury your woes and be merry
He'll cling to you close TO the end.
Don't ask him to lift one finger
To tighten your burden, because
He never will share it. but silently bear Il,
And he will be loud with applause.
The world is vain old fellow,
You must laugh at his sallies of wit
No matter how brutal, remonstrance is futile
And froxns viii not change him one whit.
And since you must journey together
Down paths where all mortal feet go,
Why life holds more SAVIOR to keep in his favor
For he's an unmerciful foe.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Count up the joys and not the pains;
Think not of losses, but of gains;
Keep the clouds back: gaze st the sun;
Thus life will smoothly with you run.
Our gifts are more than all our blows,
And what is best we know God knows;
And He viii send His blessings down,
Some yelled, but ali will hide crown.
Ii we could know the meaning grand
In tears that come by Gods command,
Then sweetly should we take the cross
And count as gain what seems loss.

When out of night will come the day,
And pearls long hid from human sight

Mr.. I.amar's home at oxford, Miss,
indicates a good deal of the life and
character of the owner. 1t is simple,
but five rooms. But there is every
where the evidence of scholarship,
comfort, courage, and usefulness. Mr..
I.amar's home life has always been
very delightful. He Is man of large,
generous sympathies, who cannot be
happy unless all about him are in
good spirits. He calls himself far
mer at home and his farming is the
subject of many joke around Oxford.
He at one time bought lawn mower
and tried TO persuade his neighbors
that by cutting their meadows every
week they could get more grass. He
was one OF the first men In Mississippi
to invest lin Jersey cows. He has
never made any money from them
mainly because he has habit of Civ
ing away the best calves. Still he
somehow manages TO have few left.
He Is very fond Of comfortable hats.
and the hat rack in the hall never con-
tains less than half a dozen. Among
them is an immense broad brimmed
palm leaf, which is his fayorite. When
the secretary is at home he wears cal
leo shirts and his old clothes. Few
people In Washington who looked
upon him as the foremost statesman
of the south would be likely TO recog-
nize him If they should see him at his
home in midsummer. He is always
anxious to show his devotion TO his
stock, and has been known to sit up
until midnight 10 look after some cow
or horse that probably would have
gotten along much better without the
medical treatment which he deemed
so necessary Wherever you 60 in Ok
