The constant, almost yearly decrease
in time since 1879 is a marked indica-
ton of the advent of new and swifter
class of '.ocean greyhounds. Espe-
ciallv is this true of the last two or
three years, and to the Inman line, to
which the City of Paris belongs, is due
the credit of putting into commission
the first of the new type. The City of
New York, although not SO speedy as
expected, was revelation of the pos
sible luxuries of ocean travel. 1t was
in its day also the longest vessel atloat,
the luckless Great Eastern, now no
more, alone excelling it in that respect.
But now it must yield that distinction
to the new Teutonic of the White Star
line, whose remarkable maiden trip
recently caused such furore, In this
ship, as indeed in all the new class of
liners, the whole machinery is in
duplicate and the set of machinery
operating each screw is wholly indie
pendent of the set operating the other.
Thus in case Of accident to either set
the other goes on and can drive at
about two-thirds her regular speed.
The Teutonic is less than one hundred
feet shorter than the Great Eastern,
and her beam is only about one-tenth
of her length. A sister ship, the Ma
jestic, is building in Scotland. Four
more prospective record-makers are the
Augusta-Victoria and Columbia and
two others still unnamed, all owned
by the Hamburg American Packet
Company. The two former have al
ready shown their quality, the Angus
ta-Victoria having made the fastest
maiden trip across the Atlantic on
record.-Springfeld Republican.

THE GOLDEN LAND.

VIXEN the heavens are drearily shrouded,
With clouds and wintry gloom,
dream of land that is golden
With sunshine and Summer bloom.
And then the clouds and the darkness.
Like mist roll away from mine eyes,
And see, in its beauty and splendor,
The land of the golden skies!
Aud so, though lifs's roses have persisted
In storms of wintry years,
Though sunshine has turned into darkness
And pleasure to pain and tears.
L dream OF skies that are eloudless,
VI peace, and of heavenly rest,
And l see, in Il glorious vision,
The golden Land of the Blest,

Wills Of Three Great Men.

The last wills and testaments of the
greatest three men of modern ages
were at one time tied up in one sheet
of foolscap at Doctors Commons. In
the will of the bard of Avon is an in
terineation in his own handwriting:
al give unto my wife my brown best
bed with the furniture"
1t is proved by William Bryde, 22d
July, 1916. The will of the minstrel
of Paradise is nuncupative one,
taken by his daughter, the great poet
being blind. The will of Napoleon is
signed in bold style of handwriting;
the codiciI, on the contrary, written
shortly before his death, exhibits
the then weak state of his body.

How to Make Farm Work Easier and
Home Brighter.

1t is inevitable that any grower of
poultry should have more at this sea-
son than he can protitably Winter.
Unless he has he must keep over some
that are not suitable for breeding, and
thus deteriorate his stock. The selec-
ton of those to be sold should be care
fully made some day in advance of the
time of sale. Not much selection is
possible if it is done the night before
Thanksgiving by taking a lantern into
the henhouse as is too often the way.

Uncultivated land is not wholly I'M
productive. In some places people
make more ready money in an easier
way by harvesting and selling wild
berries than they can by the poor farm
ing methods they give to their partly
exhausted cultivated land. Yet where
wild berries are protitably grown, cul-
tivated berries of the same varieties
will be still more productive, and pay
even better if properly managed. A
farmer ought to be ashamed to let ma
lures unassisted methods excel his
best efforts.

Ocean Steamers.

The feat of the steamship City of
Paris in twice beating, in single year.
the best previous record for transat-
lantic trip, is something unparalleled
in the history of ocean travel. The
Etruria twice made fastest records, but
the second fast trip was three years
behind the first. Only once before,
moreover, has the record been twice
beaten in one year. The full list of
''record makers" since the days of the
old Savannah is as follows:

The most noteworthy progress made
in Grange matters lately is in Michi-
gan, where rs, 900 new members have
been admitted since last May. The
farmers of Michigan are revolving
against the exactions of middleIffen
who have charged enormous profits.
The Grange corrects this evil by max
ing arrangements with some reliable
firm, compelling it to give bond not
to charge more to its customers than
twelve per cent. above the wholesale
price. In this way most of the bust
ness of the community is transferred
to the Grange store, and as the
Changers pay cash for their purchases,
the business is profitable alike to both
parties. 1t has been found better to
make such arrangements with existing
establishments, rather than for the
Grange itself to start new store. 1t
is out of the farmers line to buy and
sell goods, and he cannot compete
with those having experience in this
line of business. But by combining
with grocerymen and other dealers who
have had much practical experience,
the danger of being driven out of bus
mess by the combination of rivals is
avoided.

In bis hts of inspiration he would band age his eyes, throw himself On . soh, and dictate to his wife for hours together, afterwards submit ting his tragedies to his sister Martha, even as Moliere used to consult his old housekeeper about his newly written comedies
 Racine composed his verses while walking about, reciting them in loud voice, while MagliAbeechi, the learned librarian of the duke of Tuscany never stirred abroad, but lived amid his books only twice in eight and forty years did he venture beyond the walls of Florence.
 Rousseau had the greatest difficulty in compos- ing his works, being extremely defective in the gift of memory. He never could learn six verses by heart, and often, after having formulated sen- tenoes, would forget them before they could Dc written down.
 Buffon, in writing his books, used pages divided into i've distinct columns. In the first columns he wrote out the first draft in the second he corrected and improved, and 90 on to the fifth. He would sometimes rewrite . sentence twenty times and was once fourteen hours finding the proper word for the turning of a period. On the contrary, Cuvier never recopied what he had once written He composed with great rapidity, correctness and precision.
 Cesar composed his famous Commentaries, it is said, on horseback; Pliny read 1000 volumes in the competition of his Natural History Origen, because of his assiduity to work, received the of Bras Bowels; and Suly is said to have been able to dictate to four secretaries at time without dif fculty.
 Voltaire was most impatient writer, and usually had the first half of work set up in type before the second half was written. He always had sev- eral works in the course of competition at the time. He usually had the sketch of tragedy set up in type and then rewrote it from the proofs- la plan which was adopted by Balzac. Of thirty verses which Virgil wrote In the morn ing, only ten were left at night. Milton often cut down from forty to twenty. Buffon would con- dense six pages into as many paragraphs. Mon- taigne, instead of cutting down, Amplihed and added to his first sketch.

A New Crusade.
New York Mercury.

Even a superficial reader must have been struck lately with the determined and active crusade by women against wrinkles. Right and left in health, fashion and family magazines and newspapers the war is waged. It seems If the feminine world with one accord had just found out that an un- wrinkled face Is the grand aim and object of . woman's life, and that she Is willing to pay the price of an eternal vigilance she may hope to flourish in immortal youthfulness.
 These insidious foes are to be fought variously. You must spend hours rubbing your fAoe in an up- ward instead of downward direction, or pinch the skin upon which the suspicious lines are forming until the black and blue spots suggest the possible neighborhood of John l.. You arc to use lotions, give yourself and your sleeping partner-n you have one-the nightmare. You arc to practice outlandish facial contortions in private that would subject you to seizure as . lunatic indulged in publicly.
 Now, when one sits down and counts the cost it really seems e if the "game want worth the candles Why not ave the strength used up in this physical drudgery for some nobler purpose and either welcome wrinkles when they choose to come or bid them defiance? What woman ever found her circle of choice friends diminish because wrinkles had set in? Is it the masculine eye that is dreaded? Who ever knew hne-souled, large. hearted cultivated woman to lose the friendship of genuine men or fail to win their regard because of these classic touches upon her hce2 What womanly, magnetic woman does not hold her own royalty whether wrinkles come or whether they forbear7
 Wrinkles are not really terrible. They have . beauty of their own. They confer . sort of distinction upon one, because they indicate that the crude. youthful stage, when mere contour and coloring were the woman's whole stock in trade has passed, and that she may now bid for favor through the accumulated graces of the spirit.
 But if women continue to dread wrinkles they may e well know, once for all, that the real remedy is from within, not from without It is in the power of all of us to remain unwrinkled through the calm, pure, kindly thoughts we hAr- to t.sU I so fun of bs.utitui indIT 'I erpsicos thoughts that our faces shal b hirly radiant and
