A Marketable Product.

Rtrat WOrid.
Eggs are the most marketable product
that the farm yields. They are ready for
market the minute they are laid, and the
sooner they are gotten to market the bet
ter. Nothing else that the farm produces
comes in as handy as a good supply OF
eggs They require no cultivation, no
hoeing, pruning or ch urning, but are in
saleable condition as soon as laid. With
plenty Of eggs on the farm there is a host
of good thing in the kitchen, and money in
the family purse. Gathering eggs is like
picking up cents. They are as good as
cash and can quickly be turned into dollars
and cents.
The groceryman wants eggs, the hotel
man wants eggs, the private family wants
eggs, everybody in town is hungry Tor
eggs
Twent y-five good hens are more Valua-
bic than a COW, and much less trouble. A
COW costs as much as hundred hens and
eats more We would not deride the tam
ily cow, but we make a plea for the co
mestic hen. GiYe her place worthy OF
her valuable product.
Let's look after the small things and pay
more attention to poultry. Fix up the
hen house and make good water proof
coops, and separate runs for the little
chickens Let's read up more on poultry
and try and improve the laying qualities OF
our fowls.
The women love to have fine looking
lot of chickens about the place, and so do
the children. It's mighty nice, too, to
take a good large basket of eggs to town
and bring home the family groceries in ex
change for them. We should think about
these things and give the fowls on the
farm more attention.

Electri city Taking The Place Of
Steam.

Prof Eiihu Thomson, in speaking on
"The Problems Of the Future" says: 'In
the near future railways will be run by
electricity; not the small roads, 1 mean.
but really the large ones connecting cities,
and there is no reason why we should not
expect higher speeds than we can attain at
present with our steam locomotives. There
We have reciprocating parts that must be
put in motion, stopped, and reversed con-
tinually, while in the electric locomotive
we have the simple rotary motioa, which
makes it possible accordingly to run at
much higher rate of speed. Although the
steam locomotive has been very much inl-
proved, yet it can hardly compare with the
economy of stationary engines, placed
where they can have an abundant water
supply for condensing purposes. We can,
therefore, by employing stationary engines
and electric roads, do away with a great
deal of unnecessary weight, and the NOV
ing parts being symmetrical, we can attain
a much higher rate of speed, say a hundred
miles an hour This would be "a grand
step forward. which would save us a great
deal of time. 1t might even be possible to
reach "a speed of $50 miles an hour. 1t
simply depends upon finding the method
Of applying sufficient power, and building
the locomotives to suit arrangements be-
ing adopted to keep the cars on the track.

Make an Agreement.

1t is difficult matter to deal with that
class of men who will neither give nor re-
ceive definite proposition looking toward
compensation. If, on the one hand, you
meet a man who says, THAT will be all
right; | guess we won't have any trouble
about that part of it," set it down that
here will be trouble on just "that part of
t." If. on the other hand, you find man
who is always declaring, You'll not lose
anything by this; I'll see that it's all
right" you may be sure it will be all wrong
in the end When two men of this sort
get together, and the services are of such
nature that to determine their exact value
at the time of their inception is impossible,
the end Will be Misunderstanding, NUT
ual dissatisfaction, possibly an estrange-
ment. Yet there is no case in which a
probable value cannot be got at. If you
consider matters as a complete affair, and
estimate the value of results as you plan
them to happen, you can never be far
wrong. If one cannot do that, he has no
business to undertake to make contracts at
all Ii may be there are times when
man may go into business engagement
without a definite idea of what his pay is
to be, and there may be men who always
settle satisfactorily. But one is never safe
to make engagements in such lax way.
False modesty alway stands in the way of
sensible business arrangements. But it
has no place in business As an old mer-
chant once said to a writer; 1--WE are
friends. and trust will always remain so,
bat when you are making an agreement
for the purchase and delivery of goods,
don't think Of your feelings toward
each other al al. Buy of me as you would
of stranger; consider your own needs and
profits, and don't hesitate to buy when you
can do best" 1t should be exactly this
way in making arrangements for employ
ment. Treat the matter simply as b1si-
ness, pure and simple. You can't afford
to do business without making proper ar
rangements for all points. These sensible
suggestions from the National Grocer
have more than money value. "Busi-
ness is business" seems something like a
heartless proyerb, but it is a fact that no
business is likely to prove so satisfactory
as that which is done strictly on business
principles Here is where the great value
of a business education come in. 1t i'm
presses upon the mind at every stage of its
course that business is business"

A European Census.

Americans who are loudest in their
groaning about several census questions
should look at the inquisition to which the
Germans are subjected
The German year book gives the figures
OF even the income tax. An income of
$3.50 or less is not taxed, and up to $3.50
the tax is nominal For incomes over $3.50
the owner must swear as TO the truth Of
the figures lie gives. The exact reItsl 0.
each dwelling Is obtained. and the average
rentals loT different conditions are publish
ed. The showing FOR the year 1855 makes
the average rental for single room with
out stove-Or an unbeatable" room, as
the expression used is-a sum that cor
responds in our money to $50 per year. 1t
makes the rental for a single room with
stove IL it--or { single "heatable" room
so; for living apartments consisting of
two "Leatable' room, $50 per annum; tor
apartments consisting of three such rooms,
$50; for four ''heatable" rooms, 500. etc.
No personal liberty in Berlin. The police
methods in Berlin greatly aid in the prep
aration of an accurate census. No room
can be rented at hotel or boarding house,
and no apartment or house can be legally
leased until the landlord has sent TO the
police the name and purpose of the new
conner and the length of time for which he
will probably make the city his name.
The same method is in vogue in other Ger
man cities The experience of one of the
professors of the University of Pennsyl-
vania last summer is significant as to the
effectiveness of these methods. Wishing
to communicate with an American lady
who was abroad, and, as he thought, in
Leipsic, he wrote to the police of that city.
The answer declared that no person of the
name was in the city. A similar letter
was sent to the police headquarters OF
Dresden and similar answer was receiv-
ed. When, later, however, the professor
wrote to the police of Berlin, the reply an
nounced that Mrs. was living at
No street on the - floor.

Was There and Saw 1t.

Census Taker Bethune, of Milledgeyile,
Ga, in discharging his duties ran across
the ''oldest inhabitant," and was puzzled
for while as to what entry to make cf her
age. Jane Moore, colored, living in the
northern part of the city, gave her age
rs 12I.
Mr.. Bethune questioned her some time
and discovered that the old woman was a
regular encyclopedia of the early days of
American independence. She knew all
about it; was there and saw it. She re-
membered Washington and all the fathers;
she remembered their habits and eccen-
tricit ties, and said she was married and had
children when Washington died. Her old
est living child is s8 years old and since
its birth she has been blessed with ~ 9th
ers. She is evidently not less than 10
years and may be III, as she says.

A Heavy Penalty.

The Norristown Herald calls attention
to the act of Assembly approved May %,
1889, forbidding any person to catch fish,
except sha1, herring and sturgeon, in any
streams of the Commonwealth with seine
or net, or to use any appliance for catch
ing fish, except the rod, hook and line.
The penalty for violating this law is a fine
of one hundred dollars or six months i'm
prisonment or both, one half of the fine to
go to the prosecutor. The Commonwealth
thus offers reward Of fifty dollars for the
arrest of any person violating the law and
any constable, policeman, sheriff, fish
warden or fish commissioner is authorized
to destroy the apparatus, make the arrest
and take the offender before justice of
the peace or magistrate.

"A novel way of raising money to build
a church has been adopted by a eongrega-
ton in an Iowa town. They borrowed
$l2O, 900 and gave life insurance on a
number of the members, which is to be
applied on the debt as death ensues The
natural objection to this scheme is the fact
that in case of the illness of one of the in
sured, the insurance might weaken the
sincerity of the prayers of the congrcga lion
for his recovery. 1t would be case in
which the church would win if the prayers
failed.

as though il were a region in some virgin

thick and golden; great oaks, splendid in the

threw vast shadows over the fresh moist

tinted snow, each tree a shining miracle OF
