Goals and PhiIanthropy,

"Do good by stealth and blush to find it
fame may have been excellent advice
when Mr.. Pope wrote, but it would require
reshaping to bring it into harmony with
modern requirements. A Yorkshire coal

on quite an extensive scale, now has cause
to blush at finding himself fined by police

weighing machine which gives his Gus
toners twenty-one pounds overweight on
every hundred weight Some time ago his
attention was officially drawn to the fact, and
he received solemn warning that if he con-

summoned. A weighing machine that gives
overweight is as illegal as one that does the
other thing, the law demanding a perfect
adjustment of !balance. This coally Samar-
1tan refused to believe, however, that his
stealthy benefactions were punishable, and
so persisted in adding the little bonus to
every hundred weight of black diamonds
that left his shop. A fine of five shillings

Travelling Clock Tinker Meets Decided

Perhaps the occupation of the travel
ing clock-mender is not entirely gone;
at any rate he is seen far less frequent
ly than he used to be seeking a job in
country regions. One such wandering
mechanic says that, by the aid of a
persuasive tongue, he could usually
obtain permission to exercise his skill.
In one case, however, the owner of the
patient proved to be so well satisfied
with bad time-keeper that she re-
manned quite obdurate to his elo-
quence.
She was a placid-looking old lady,
and she sat pairing apples in her kitchen
when the clock-mender arrived.

No, not exactly afraid, - said the old
lady, prudently, ''but Hiram and me

As the travelling tinker was about to

SPRING FARM WORK.
Why Agriculture Can Not Be Conducted
on Set Rules.


Set Rules.
The farmer who starts out in the
spring without his work all planned
| out, Just how and where each part of
the work will be done, will most as
suredly meet with failure. The man
who follows the same plan of planting
and cultivating, irrespective of the sea-
son, as the conditions under which he
is working, will fail to meet with the
best success.
1t is good economy to plan ahead, to
outline the general plan of work, but
much of the details must of necessity
be kept and be determined as the work
progresses.
What would be the better plan one
year would be nearly the worst to be
followed the next, because the condi-
tions were so different. Yet there are
plenty of farmers who follow
the same course year after year
and put in the best part of their spare
time complaining that farming does
not pay. 1t is an item to prepare the
soil and plant the crops in good sea-
son. With grass and oats and some of
the garden crops this implies doing
the work at the very first opportunity
in the spring. With flax and potatoes
the work should be done little later.
But corn, beans and sorghum and a
large class of garden crops should not
1o ,,p+i1 ho coil &c hi
well warmed up SO that quick ger
mination of the seed and vigorous
start to grow can be secured.
But there will be a considerable
variation in the time that this can be
done and any attempt to follow a set
rule would certainly prove unsatis-
factory.
This applies also to all kinds OF
work, as well as the manner of doing.
If the soil is warm and dry corn
should be planted and covered much
deeper than if the soil is wet and cold.
If the soil can be prepared in good
thrifty condition before the seed is
planted, the harrow is the best imple-
ment to commence the cultivation, but
if rough and cloddy, and as is some
times the case, wet, the one-horse
diamond pillow will prove the most sat
isfactOry. One season one or two har-
rowings and three or four civilizations
with riding or walking cultivators is
all that will be necessary to keep the
soil in good filth and the crop free
of weeds. Another year the diamond
pillow will have to be used all during
the season in order to afford sufficient
drainage and to keep down the weeds,
while in dry year it will be neces-
sary to stir the surface of the soil
to the depth of two or three
inches in order to maintain a good
growth, so that the man who attempts
to raise a good crop of corn by using
the diamond pillow every year, running
the bar of the pillow to the corn each
way and then throwing the earth to
the corn each way and laying by the
corn by running out the burrows, will
occasionally fail.
If the best success is secured, farm
work must be done according to the
season, and have such implements used
as are necessary to do the kind of work
the crop requires, the pillow, harrow,
cultivator and other implements need
ed in the preparation, planting and
cultivation of the crops, SO that the
work can be properly done in good sea-
son and economically.-N. j. Miller,
in Western Plowman.

PLAsTER-oF-PARIs ART.
An Image-PeddIer's Sad Experience i
BuStS of Politicians.

An Image-PeddIer's Sad Experience in
Busts of Politicians.
The Italian image-vender is surer
harbinger of spring than jay or blue
birds. He must needs have sure foot
and head like a rope-walker to carry
upon it so large an array of his fragile
commodities in safety. He does not,
as one might suppose, seek the by
ways and unfrequented places as fear
ing some one might run against and
jostle him and in an instant bring
wreck and ruin, but he takes the
crowded streets, and is oftener seen in
pushing, struggling eddy of human
ity at a street corner than elsewhere.
There is from season to season a
change in the variety of art demanded
by the tickle populace. The high
colors of few years ago are no longer
au fait. Plaster of Paris fruit-pieces
and parrots in the uncompromis-
ing cardinal colors, green, red
and yellow, have had their
day, and the demand is for quiet
tints and bronzcs. On South Meridian
street, few doors below the Union
tracks, in an old frame building, a
party of Italians are now busy at work
supplying the public with the current
demand in gypsum art. A handsome,
black-eyed young fellow, who spoke
fairly good English, answered the re-
porter's questions. 1--WE sell more
Shakespeare and Milton busts than
any other kind-always bronze-al-
ways by the pair. Figure pieces, to
represent spring and summer, will sell,
and the Dancing Girr'' is good. The
boy and girl with an umbrella over
them is good-selling piece"
These specimens of plaster-of-Pa
art are all really excellent, the patterns
being made by artists. Berlin
Horses" as they are called in the
trade, are good sellers. This plaster
Pegasus is taken from a statue in Ber-
lin. celebrated for its fine proportions.
In the animal line the best sellers are
pug dogs. These they make of several
sizes, coloring them to a close re-
semblance to the natural animal The
pug is now in fashion and the plaster
counterpart is in brisk demand, selling,
according to size and ugliness, from Is
cents to so cents each. Busts sell at
81 pair and are cheap at the money.
"Why don't you make bust of
President Harrison and sell it? There
would be money in that" suggested
the reporter to one of the sons of Italy,
who, with a sharp knife, was relieving
William Shakespeare OF the creases left
by the mold from which he had just
been shucked.
1--WE tried-a Clev'lan'; he no SELL"
was the answer given with dubious
shake of the head.
But Harrison might SELL" persisted
the reporter
1--WE tried-a Clev'lan,' was again
the reply. Evidently the italian had
had a sad experience in debasing art
to the level of American politics and is
not to be again beguiled from 1.-The
