The little gentlemen in velvet" are
not held in high esteem by the farmers.
Their presence is generally regarded as
indicative cf good soil. yet the farmers
first object on acquiring such soil is to
get rid Of them They are destructive to
drains, and deadly enemies to the COM
mon earth worm. which Darwin has ap-
praised at high value as medium of fer
tilization in the soil Indeed. their food
consists mainly OF the common earth
worm, though other insects. such as mag
gots. which fall iato their tunnel. are
readily devoured. These latter no person
will grudge them. but they work iIrepar-
able havoc TO crops.
There are various systems of mole
catching. Traps of various kinds are
used. The wire trap has been in vogue
for well nigh thirty years. and is an eff
fectual method If care Is taken to use it
in z proper part Of fresh tunnel. In some
instances the wire trap. however, has
been thrown aside-superseded by the
use of poisoned wornis. This system is
held by its advocates to be equally as
sure as trapping. while il is Fighter work.

There is nothing mere conducive to
genuine enjoyment on the Farm than a
collection of good books, either for read
ing or reference. Farming is full of
suggestion The variable character of
the soil and the functions Of life in its
different forms. are subjects Of the great
esl possible interest These are matters
which it is absolutely necessary that the
farmer should study. and reading will do
much TO aid him in this. 1t will also
serve TO divert his mind from the tolls
and vexations of his work. The amount
of reading that is profitable depends
upon the recep.ivity of the mind. 1t is
Of less importance to read much than to
read wisely and well.
There is now no lack Of good agricul-

hours when the men are supposed to be
going TO and from the business center
President Holmes tackled extra cars onto
the trains. at certain intervals, and la
beled them smoking cars The label
was on the outside of the car, and was
plainly written. but the women did not
see it. apparently. When they started
to board the car the conductor would in
form them that il was a smoker" but
they would pay no attention 10 him.
When they took seats inside and saw
men smoking they would call the con-
ductor and complain. His explanation
that it was q smoking car seemed TO have
no weight with them, and they threat
ened to report him. They clared at the
smokers until the latter were shamed
into throwing away their cigars. Now,
the smoking car is only q name. The
women have made the new rule iDopera-

thing left for the smokers Is to ..get to-

A Tower Eiffel entirely OF diamonds,

might be expected. and the model, which
is an exact reproduction Of the original
monument, gains nothing in grace and
beauty of outline 20 make up for the loss
of grandeur and size. As it is. however.
it is very curious piece of work. The
numberof diamonds needed to construct
this model. which measures thirty-nine
inches in height. is 10000. and they are
set in rows on the silver girders. The
only bits Of color about it are the lower
platforms. both in silver gils in two
shades Of gold. the enameled flags at the
four corners, and the ruby and sapphire
set in the lantern. which is lighted by
electricity and revolves by clock work.
Messrs. Martin. Parno G Gle hoped to
obtain admission for their jeweled tower
at the exhibition. but it was completed
too late. SO it is shown TO the public in
the Rue de Seze galleries instead. The
best time to see il is the evening. when

Experiments carried on under the aus
pices of the Danish Agricultural society
go to prove that SKINNED milk has
double the feeding value of buttermilk;
that rye and barley are of about equal
value. with a slight percentage in favor
of rye. and that six pounds of skinned
milk have the same feeding value as one
pound of rye or barley.
