The Decline of Agriculture.


In these days. when the thrifty
farmer is busy with his growing crops,
it is interesting to cast an eye about a
we'll ordered farm ana notice the sur
prising inventions in improved agri-
cultural implements.
Nothing SO correctly measures the
development of the human race as the
progress of improved agricultural ma
chinery from primitive days to the
present time. The Egyptian fellah
5000 years ago dug the earth with u
crooked stick, threw in the seed and
reaped his grain clumsily with rude
sickle. The Japanese have but little
improved upon this method up to the
sumes to compete with the American
farmer in the wheat market of the
world, uses an iron blade six inches
long, and costing four cents, for a
sickle. Even in some of the most pro-
gressive countries of Europe the farm
ing implements still bear as conclusive
marks of primeval simplicity.
The United States are far ahead of
the rest of the world in improved agri-
cultural machinery. And yet In spite
of this advantage, with the richest soil
on the planet, our relative farming
population is steadily decreasing. In
gagged in agriculture; in 1880, A per
cent; in 1885, AZ per cent. 1t is now
probably less than 40 per cent, and the
ito is still diminishing.
In the face of this melancholy show
ing, our facilities for wheat production
are six times as great as in India. Our
wheat area has steadily doubled twice
as fast as our population, and every
thing in nature and in art would seem
to be in our favor.
Why is it, then, that half the farms
of the country are under mortgage, and
that the farms are being gradually de-
serted In despair OF their yielding
profit, or even maintaining themselves
free from debit OF all questions that
ultimately concern our national welfare
in this country, this is the one worth
studying most seriously.
What must the clumsy French or
German farmer think who visits the
great Paris exposition and looks at our
wonderful farm machinery, only to be
told that upon the rich American soil
where it was manufactured the farmers
are not able to keep out OF debt and
save their farms from the grip OF the
mortgagee? There is deep and ruin
Gus wrong somewhere, and the farmers
are getting at the root of it now that it
is almost too late to save themselves.
Improved machinery of agriculture,
with antiquated Chinese machinery and
methods of tariff taxation are gradually
placing the farmer in a position where
the more he produces the worse he is
off. Nothing can be more Illuminating
than to hear tins very statement, as one
often does, from the farmers lips while
he is exhibiting his ingenious labor
saving farming tools.
Is this American protection?

NiCkEL-IN-THE-SLOT ExECU-
TIONS,
The Dramat tic Method Propos ed by
a German Inven'or.

The Dramatic Method Propos ed by
German Inven'or.
There are signs of reforms in the
methods of execution in other countries
besides America, says one of our
foreign contemporaries, but it is doubt
full whether the German government
will adopt the excessively dramatic
mode which has been recommended to
it by certain Leipzig inventor.
His apparatus consists of platform
nine meters square, approached by five
steps. In the center of the platform is
chair for the condemned man. Behind
1T stands a tigure of justice holding a
pair of scales in her left hand.
Under the platform is series of cleo
trical accumulators, from which wires
pass through the legs of the chair into
the seat and back, and terminate in
platinum plates.
The patient having been seated, the
eXecutloner reads the sentence, and
then, taking a wand, breaks it and de-
posits the pieces in one of the scales.
This descends, completes the necessary
connections, and so ends the matter.
In Germany, indeed, reform is just
now being loudly clamored for, public
opinion having been greatly stirred up
by tragedy which occurred a few
weeks ago, when, it may be remem-
bered, the imperial eXecutioner, in q
fit of jealous rage, kicked one of his
assistants to death.
1t is contended with some show of
reason that the crime was, to some ex-
tent, attributable to the brutalizing ef-
fects of the prisoners occupation.

LASSOING A BOA IN JAVA.
A Serpent Twenty Feet Long Cap
tmred Alive BIZ MaInYs.

n serpent twenty rceb long Cap-
tured Alive by Maiays.
After about an hour OF crawling and
pushing through, our m en- suddenly
stopped and began to point ahead, chat
tering and gesticulating, says writer
in Forest and Stream. Looking the
way they pointed we saw in q tree an
immense boa constructor waving his
head to and fro, with his scales glitter
ing in the sun. My friend said:
SECT back quick; ho Is preparing
to jump" and wo did SO as fast as
possible. After consulting few NOM
ents the Maiays cautiously advanced
with II lasso, which, by " dcXterous
throw, caught the snake around the
neck, and, jumping behind q tree,
frightened it on him. He thrashed and
could do to keep from being drawn near
enough for him to crush them, and once
or twice it seemed lis though he would
get them. We could have
Shot him at first; but they
wanted to capture him alive. After
awhile, by pulling and choking him, he
gave up and they pullec him down from
the tree. Ho was big fellow, twenty
feet long ana very large arouad. They
have great strength, and this one
was assured, could easily swallow a goat
or calf. He was looking probably for
leopards, that are plenty there, living
principally on monkeys, and the snakes
also catch thoin when they can, but
usually the monkey is clevcrer
than the snake. They sometimes
gather III big bands and club
them to death. BY this time we wero
SO hot and tired that we concluGc cd TO
let tho monkeys rest, although we could
hear them chattering and jumping not
80 very far ahead of us, SO wo turned
back to our horses with our coolies car
rying our trophy. The Malays made q
cago very quickly, cutting lengths OF
bamboo and notching them together,
into which they put the snake and,
swinging it on two polos. merched off
with il en- their shoulders.

A Rising Young Poet.

Speaking OF poetry, especially of
American poetry, here is specimen
submitted to the New York World by
George Etheridge, an ambitious citizen
of Rome, N. Y:
Tne boy stood on the front-door stoop, nor
thought of danger near;
He cared not for her fathers bo0t-in short
he knew no fear.
He took out his pocKet-mirror and paused
for an instant there
To remove his nice new derby aud to smooth
his oily hair,
Then grasped the handle gently and timidly
rang the bell,
For he knew that her harsh old rather mated
him worse than-anythlng.
A moment of painful waiting, moment OF
anxious doubt,
And the door was swiftly opened, while
foot flew quickly out.
A moment of quiet agony,a moment OF silent
suspense,
And the young man lurched through the
atmosphere and hung himself on the
fence.

They Are More Difficult to Catch
Than the BroncOs OF the Plains.

They Are More Difficult to Catch
Than the BroncOs OF the Plains.
Off the northeastern shore of Vir-
ginia, and about five miles from the
mainland lies small island known as
Chincoteague-an island possessed of
peculiarities shared by no other portion
of the eastern United States, for here
roams, in an entirely untamed state, q
breed of horses, or rather ponies, as wild
as the mustangs of TLxas or the
Pampas.
How these ponies first came upon the
island is not known except through
vague tradition, for when the first set
tiers came there early in the eighteenth
century, they found the animals already
roaming wild about its piny meadows.
The tradition received from the In
dians OF the mainland, says the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat, was that vessel
loaded with horses to one of the Eliza
bethian settlements of Virginia, was
wrecked upon the southern point OF the
island, where the horses escaped
while the whites were rescued by the
then friendly Indians and carried to
the mainland, whence they found their
way to some of the early settlements.
The horses, left to themselves upon
their new territory, became entirely
wild, and, probably through hardships
endured, degenerated into Il peculiar
breed Of ponies.
When one is wanted he Is caught
with lasso, not as they do upon the
plains, but by hanging it on the end Of
long pole and then dropping it skill
fully over the pony's head.
Uncle Ken takes the pole. Holding
the moose we'll aloft on the top of it, so
as not to frighten the intended prey
upon which he has fixed his eye, he
cautiously approaches the herd around
which the crowd has gathered.
One of the ponies takes sudden
fright and a stampede follows, the spec
tators scattering right and left. For
moment the intended captive is wedged
in the midst of the rest Of the herd.
Uncle Ken sees his advantage. He
rushes forward, the moose is dropped
and settles around the pony's neck.
Immediately six lusty negroes, with
glistening teeth, perspiring faces and
glittcring eyes, are at the other end of
the rope. The animal makes a gallant
fight.
This way and that he hauls his as
sailants, rearing and squealing. Now
he makes sudden side dash and sends
them rolling over and over, plowing
their heads through the shifting sand
Till their WOOL is falrly poWdered; still,
however, "the boys" hold on to the
rope.
At length the choking halter COM
mences to tell; the pony, with rolling
eyes and quivering fanks, wheeling
audibly.
Now is the moment! In rush the
negroes, clutching the animal by legs
and tail.
A wrestle and heave, a struggle on
the pony's part, kick that sends Ned
hopping with Il barked shin like crazy
turkey, and Sambo blowing through
the sand and stinkweed in among the
spectators, and then over goes the pony
with four or five lusty. shouting negroes
sprawling around him.
The work is done; a running moose is
slipped around the pony's nose, his fore
lock is tied to this by a bit of string,
and soon his tantrums cease, as he real
ICES that he is indeed a captive.

Educational Reforms Recommended


New York Commercial Advertiser:
The committee of eight of the board of
education charged with the formula
tion of an improved course of study in
the public schools, has reported new
course for the approval of the board of
education. The committee recon-
mended several radical changes, one of
the chief being that the study of French
and German be discontinued.
1t is proposed to make observation
lessons prominent feature, and to in
troduce specific features in the course
Of manual training, workshops and
cooking rooms to be placed in school
buildings not already provided with
them OH application OF the ward trus-
tees. The study of United States his
tory and of the character of our civil
government is to be so arranged as to
irculcate patriotism. The committee
also recommended changes in the pri-
mary schools to allow for the incorpor-
alton of an introductory grade and
supplementary grade, the former to
provide for the preliminary education
of children untitled to begin the studies
in the sixth grade and the latter to pro-
vide for pupils capable for promotion to
a grammar department but unable to
enter on account of lack of accommoda-

A Night With a Tiger.

Twas night in the tigers den. The
brute was indignant at his fare. His
tail softly walloped the troubled earth.
The great beast cast hungry glances at
his keeper, as much as to say, "I'll eat
him for his mother. 1t was moment Of
awful terror. A happy thought saved
him. He threw the frenzied animal q
package of QUAKER OATS. He was
saved. Quaker Oats is good for men
and "Taggers" too.
