\ Refsrmer Forgets His Trade.

Last fall . gentleman Of the name of
B~urt-Wellingt0n r. Burt-was nom-
mated by the Democrats for Governor
Of Michigan. He was the standard
bearer Of the party that was charging
the tariff with responsibility for all the
trusts that regulate the production Of
useful articles.
He led the campaign in Michigan
with that famous Democratic slogan:
Down with the trusts" (the other

They Didn't Want to Appear I'm Print


At a dinner not long ago Wilkie Collins
related instances proving how impossible it
was TO introduce into novel descriptions of
places and things wholly imaginary. In one
of his works he described a house which he
had never seen, and which was entirely the
offspring of his imagination. A few days
after the publication man called upon him
to protest against the introduction of his
house into his novel Strange to say, the
pages of the novel contained a perfect de-
scription of the mans property. At another
time he used as one of his characters man
who was 50 exact about his eating that he
weighed every morsel which entered his
stomach. MIR. Collins had in reality never
heard OF such man. He was greatly sur
prised, one week after the appearance of his
book, by the visit of an utter stranger. who
wished to know by what right Mr.. Collins
made him ridiculous in print by mentioning
one of his peculiarities.-New York Star.

Nor has other rollicking fun and free play

got in the supposed Welsh inscription TO the

Prairie Farmer defines the two modes so
clearly that, with the aid of the illustra-

fail to be understood.
Trench plowing is the inversion of one
furrow directly over another, by one
deep tiller" pillow following directly in
the track of more shallow working
plow. These are row made To act at

the burrows is shown in the cut, Fig. l.

Much has been said in past seasons by
the various agricultural writers about
the work of potato diggers. Most of
what was said referred to the expensive
machines that are beyond the reach of
the small growers. Rural New Yorker
has Of late held co -respondence with
farmers who use potato plows of various
designs. These tools are made and sold
under different pater Is, though they all
work on essentially the same principle.
The potatoes are thrown out of the
ground by means of a contrivance like
two plows. one right and the other left,
placed together SO as to throw the earth
in both directions. Above these plows
are fastened long bars. The earth is to
fall through the bars, while the potat oes

ClergYmen On Sac Morals.

The theater Is a very bad place, &C
cOrding to the opinions Of I. Dewitt
TaImage and Drs. Cuyler and Crosby,
which they express in series of news
paper articles on the Morals of the
Stage" Mr.. Talmage thinks there are
scenes of brazen indecency enacted
every night in our play-hOuses, where
the actresses appear with a SOdomite
lack of robe. Dr. CuyIer compares
theater-gOing to WIne-drinking. and
says that no good woman ever wants
her sons and daughters in such a place.
DR.. Crosby goes perhaps even further,
and says that the stamp of the theater
is impurity.
These reverend gentlemen speak of
the character Of the theater so positive
~ that it would be interesting to know
Just what their qualifications as cen
sors are, Mr.. Talmage admits frankly
that he was never in a theater to Wit
ness play but three times In his life,
and that was when boy of 10. Drs.
Cuyler and Crosby do not give their
experience; but as their criticisms of
the drama are based upon what they
have read in the newspapers and upon
play boards, it is probably about as
extensive as that of Mr.. Ialmage.
The opinions Of these distinguished
gentlemen about the morals of the
stage may be interesting as literary
productions, but they are not half the
value of those Of the average man of
intelligence who has visited theaters
occasionally and who knows what he
is talking about. IF the newspapers,
the literature and the men and women
Of to-day are bad, the theaters are bad.
But neither the NEWSPAPERS nor men
or women are thoroughly good or
thoroughly bad. Their virtues and
vices are mextricably mixed, and the
same is true of theaters. They reflect
pretty accurately the tastes Of their
patrons, and If they are not as good as
they ought to be, the ministers, whose
duty it Is to educate the masses, are
perhaps the most to blame--He10 York
