THE FARMERS INCOME.

In a recent article in one of the monthly
magazines writer gives very gloomy picture
derived mostly from imagination-of the
present condition of agriculture. His text is
Farming as Profession" and his statements
in regard to the incomes and profits of farmers
are certainly not at all encouraging to persons
who might be contemplating entering the
ranks of the agricultural army. The writer
AYERS that farmers incomes do not exceed per
cent. per annum on the value of their farms
and stock. Assuredly this idea was never pro-
cured from any farmers unless it might be
those of the Wall street kind, who shear their
lambs" by day and attend to their crops in
the twilight and ON Sundays. The average
value of farms he estimates at $1,000 which
would then afford the owners the very small
total income of S210 per annum.
Some crude ideas are current in regard to
the emOluments of farmers. No one who dis
cusses this subject seems ever to compare the
position of a farmer with that of any business
man of equal capital, and never takes any ac-
count of the cost of the farmers very comfor-
table and often luxurious living as any part of
the income derived from his capital and labor.
The fact is that the income of the average
farmer is fully 80 per cent. of his capital be-
sides very fair reward for his personal labor
in addition to this. A farmer who should re-
move to city-we know cases of this kind
would be forced to spend fully 20 per cent on
the value of the farm in household expenses,
at the very lowest rates. if he enjoyed all the
comforts of farm life in his new home. The
farmer works less than the average business
man in spite of the prevalent belief that he is
a toiling slave, laboring from sun to sun. y
who know nothing of farm life, for a good
farmer even one who works up to the high
pressure, has more leisure than a mercantile
clerk or his emplOyer.-N. Y. Times

HOW EGGS MAY BE COOKED.
Some Novel Methods of Making Palata-
BILE Dishes.

The egg is ideal food when nutriment in
small volume is required, and yet, strange as
it may seem, the number of ways in which
this article may be cooked, or the dishes in
which it is one of the principal ingredients,
would place new mode on ones table every
day in the year. There are more than one
hundred ways of cooking eggs alone. Don't
believe it? Then look in a cook book and
see for yourself their great possibilities.
Many of the methods of cooking eggs come
to us from the transatlantic rural folk, but
new modes are constantly being tried and new
receipts given to the public. Many people
think cold fried or boiled egg unused must
be thrown away, but boiled egg can be put
into water again and reboiled, and poached
and fried eggs may be minced and put on to
toast, or warmed up with seasoned gravy, or
mixed with bread crumbs and fried in hot fat,
or they may be mixed with salt fish and made
into croquettes.
Among the many omelets made with eggs
the most ecoE omical are those which gain in
bulk from the addition of some ingredient
cheaper than eggs; for instance, if cupful of
cold salt fish is on hand, melt together a tea
spoonful each of butter and -four, gradually
stir in cupful each of milk and water, or use
a pint of water; add the cold fish, free from
bones, three eggs beaten for minute, and a
high seasoning of salt and pepper; stir the
mixture over the fire until the eggs are cooked
to the desired degree and serve on toast.
The delicacy of this dish may be increased
by separating the yolks and whites and beat
ing the latter to a stiff broth, stirring them in
lastly With cold boiled rice, a favorite South
ern Omelet can be made: Mix a cup of cold
boiled rice with three eggs, salt and pepper,
the yolks mixed with rice and the whites
beaten to a stiff froth, mixed lightly in; just
as it is finished pour the omelet in hot pan,
with a tablespoonful of butter, and bake in a
hot oven.

TELLING THE WEATHER.
Some Points in Regard to Meteorological
Science.


Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover
that storms in this country travel from west to
east. He was interested in observing an
eclipse, and found that while the observations
were spoiled in Philadelphia by a rain storm
that came on just at the beginning of the
eclipse, the sky was clear at Boston until after
the eclipse was over. By communicating with
Intervening towns he learned that the storm
travelled eastward at a uniform rate. Simulta-
neous observations taken in all parts of the
country show that nearly all great storms fol-
low the general direction-from the west to
the east. The same is true of cold or hot
waves. Therefore, to tell what the weather
will be, in advance, we have only to find out
the conditions prevailing west of us. This is
practically the course pursued by the signal
service.
The direction of a storm is frequently divert
ed by some local cause. A low barometer. or
large amount of moisture in the air, attracts a
storm, and may either changeits course entire
ly or hasten its advance. The rate at which a
storm travels between two points is, in fact,
calculated by the gradient or decline of the
barometer from one point to the other. When
a storm is advancing the wind blows to meet
it. Thus a wind blowing from the east or
southeast indicates the approach OF storm
from the west. When the storm center has
passed, however, the wind changes and follows
the storm. If person has good barometer
and wind gauge he can tell pretty correctly
when storm IS coming. without the lnStru-
ments the clouds may be watched, and when
seen to be moving rapidly from the southeast,
and there eareindications ofthe presence of much
moisture in the air, storm is not far away.
The old Scotch saying that
A red sky at night is the shepherds delight;
red sky in the morning, shepherds take
warning.
is partially true in this country. The red sky
in the morning indicates an excess of moisture
in the air, and storm is therefore likely to
occur before many days.
The circle around the moon, or lunar rain
bow, shows the presence of moisture in the
air. Moisture at high altitude produces q
large bow and at low altitude a small bow.
The smaller the bow, therefore, the nearer the
moisture, and, consequently, the sooner will
the storm develop. The old saying that the
number of stars to be seen inside of the circle
indicates the number of days before the arri-
val of the storm, is not reliable, as the position
of the moon in the heavens may make the
number great or small without regard to the
storm conditions. All attempts at predicting
the weather for months in advance are mere
guesswork Such superstitions as trying to
foretell the severity of a winter by the thick
ness of the breastbone of the goose or the fur
of animals originated in some obscure quarter
and are not worth the circulation and atten-
ton that they receive.

TROUT THAT REMEMBERED.

"Some time before the death of Seth Green,
the celebrated fish culturist and naturalist"
said gentleman who takes great interest in
piscatorial matters recently, "I paid a visit
with him to the fish hatcheries at Caledonia.
In one of the ponds there, at that time, there
were 5000 large brook trout, every one of
which had been captured with the fy-in un-
frequented brooks in the Adirondack region.
These trout, Mr.. Green said, had convinced him
that fish had reasoning power and memory
When they were hooked he said, and were
reeled slowly in by careful fishermen who were
capturing them for the State pond, they had
time and opportunity to note form and charac-
ter of the tackle that made them prisoners
According to Mr.. Green they never forgot that
experience. The trout had been in the pond a
long time, the females never being allowed to
spawn there, and would follow Mr.. Green as
he walked along the edge of the water, tossing
bits of liver into the pond. To show that his
theory about their memory and reason was
correct he would carry cane and fish rod
concealed behind his back. If he took the
cane from its concealment and held it out over
the water the fish paid no attention to it, but
the moment he produced the rod with its reel
and line attached away the trout scampered
like fash to distant parts of the pond. Mr..
Green told me that he would permit any one
to cast fly in that pond to hearts content, as
he was satisfied that not one of the trout would
come near it, so vividly did they remember their
enemy of five years ago."

That's good idea. 1t will save the expense

true However it will be necessary to go and

"How much?'
"a dollar and thirty-seven cents each way"
returned his wife.
''That will make s2.75,' said Hiram. 'Tn
give you three. The extra quarter will do
for miscellaneous expenses"
This was an unexampled stroke of generosi-
ty on the part of Mr.. Appleton but the
thought of the profits which he was going to
make made him feel unusually generous.
How long will you be gone?" asked
Hiram.
"That will depend little on circumstances

"And you feel pretty sure of bringing back

II think can promise you six at least"
said his wife confidently.

"Six, at three dollars a week, will make
eighteen dollars. Then the actual cost of
boarding them need not be more than dollar
apiece. That will make twelve dollars clear
weekly, or six hundred dollars year."
This was very gratifying calculation, and
Hiram awaited his wife's return with eager
ness.

looking about him.
'"Their last name is Jones. They are my

to no effect The widow and her children had

Whenever anybody speaks to him now
about the profits of keeping boarders he shakes
his head and looks melancholy.

THE TWO WORDS.

One day harsh word, rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped,
And, like q sharp and cruel dart,
1t pierced fond and loving heart;
1t turned friend into foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe.
A kind word followed it one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
1t healed the wound, it sOothed the pain,
And friends of old were friends again.
1t made the hate and anger cease,
And everywhere brought joy and peace.
But yet the harsh word left trace
The kind word could not quite efface;
And, though the heart its love regained,
1t bore a scar that long remained
Friends could forgive but not forget,
Or lose the sense of keen regret.
Oh If we would but learn to know
How swift and sure our words can go,
How would we weigh with utmost care
Each thought before it sought the air,
And only speak the words that move
Like white-winged messengers of love!

A Strange Case of Anhasia

Aphasia in a most extraordinary form is at
present under treatment by DR.. Charcot. A
Frenchman, aged 60, learned English through
living seven years in North America and then
Spanish through his marriage with Spanish
woman. He lost the command of these Ian
guages in the inverse order. First he was un-
able to speak Spanish, then English went from
him, and lastly his native tongue, French
The affliction was ascribed to the softening of
the left lobe of the brain, and, by methodical
practice in conversation, he regained his nor
NAL ability, recovering the languages in the
order of French, English and Spanish.

Not Genuine Perhans-

A friend has sent in batch of epitaphs,
some of which are almost too startling to be
accepted as genuine. For instance:
''Under this sod our baby lies,
He neither cries nor hollers;
He lived just twenty-seven days,
And cost us $40.'
And then the following
MARY Ann lies here at rest,
With her head on Abraham's breast:
It's very nice for Mary Ann,
But rather tough on Abraham.''
