Working on a Sewer.

ut was bad day to work on a
sewer, so / knocked of the men," re-
marked a prominent sewer contractor
one evening last week. what class
of your men are the best workersP"
asked the Expressionist. "Well, I've
in my employ Irishmen, Germans,
Frenchmen, Prussians, Poles, Italians
and Americans. The Italian will work
well and do good days work if you
can stand over him and always be
where he can see you. Poles are good
workers, don't need so much watching
as Italians, but they can't do so much
work. 1t takes much longer, too, to
make Poles understand what you want
and how to do their work. The best
workers, l find, are Germans, They
will work right along and l can be
gone half day When l get back I
find their work done. An Irishman is
good worker-when he wants to
workout he's worst of all. If he
makes up his mind to soldier he'll do
it right in front of you, and laugh il
you kick. "-BufalO Egpress.

Why Boys Leave the Farm.

uN
Burdette in Burlington Hawkeye.
"Why dothe boysleave the farm ?"
walls writer in an agricultural jour
nal. Well, dear brother, there are
several reasons. One is because the
boy is not 65 years old at his birth.
Then, if there is hoe on the farm
weighing fourteen ounces, bright as
nickel-plate and sharp as a razor, and
another hoe weighing somewhat less
than a breaking pillow, with an edge
on it like a hammer and a sapling
with the bark on for handle, the
hired man takes one and the boy gets
the other and every man in Ameri-
ca knows which is the other. Did
you ever stand with such hoe in
your hand away down in a corn row
on some airless, still, hot summer day,
twenty acres Of tasseIs whiting about
you, standing fourteen inches higher
than your head, shutting out the very
last trace of breathable air, and then
hear locust down in the edge of the
timber strike up his long, strident,
monotonous call to make it ten times
hotter? And all this time a cool
creek not mile away, lettering in
deep, silent pools in shady places in
the woods, or breaking into merry
dancing ripples over the pebbles?
And in the deep holes, the fish just
lying around waiting for boy?
Well, then, you know why some
boys leave the farm. Still, boys have
been kept on the farm and made to
stay there all their lives. You drive
long spike through a boys abdo-
men, and through live oak tree,
and clinch or bolt it on the other side,
and then saw off the boys legs and
break his back, and ne will stay on
the farm. Yes, there are some other
ways we know, but this is the only
infallible method.

Hypocrisy Of a Love Token.

81 have become a hopeless cynic
from my 10 years experience as a
jeweller," said the foreman of lead
ing firm to a Philadelphia News re-
porter. ''Ihave learned thatso much
is tinsel that shines as gold that I can
only look on the worlds splendor as
clinquant, hollow sham. Even
when the genuine glittering gold,
plucked from the bowels of rich
Potosi and set with gems of purest
ray serene, adorns fair throat, or
rounded arm or tapering finger, it
only produces a sentiment of scorn
for the hypocrisy of human nature.
"Let me illustrate: 1t has been for
some time a favorite fad with young
men in society when one becomes
engaged to present his fiance with a
jewelled bracelet, which the jeweller
rivets on the wrist so that it can not
be slipped off. This is supposed to be
a token of the eternal bondage of the
wearer to the donor and perpetual
reminder of fidelity. But in day or
two the lady receives note from the
jeweller requesting her to call. When
she does so, she is shown a secret
spring, whereby she can put aside the
bond at will. And I have Observed"
added the jeweller, "that, although
the fair lady protests against making
use of the spring, she is delighted to
find the secret of it," II

A New Vegetable.

A vegetable new to American mar

since sea kale came to be used as a
food in England, although it was
used by the ancient Romans. In
this country, however it has scarcely
been known until now. The vege-
table is a delicious one of the cabbage
family, and Crews wild aleng the sea
