DISRUPTION OF FRIENDSHIP.
How an Intimacy of Years was Brought
to an End.

Two women uptown, who have been
dear friends for years, are at daggers'
points, says the New York Evening Sun,
and the friends of both are ranged on
one side or the other of the controversy.
The cause of it all is cook. Mrs. A.
had cook of superior skill One day
she appeared before her mistress and
quietly announced that she should go
into Mrs. BIS service the next month
because Mrs. B. had offered her larger
wages. Mrs. A. was thunderstruck.
Her dearest friend come into her home
and steal away her chief dependence in
this way? ImpossibleI She put on her
wraps and drove to Mrs. BIS home. 1t
was only too true. Her own familiar
friend in whom she had trusted had
lifted up her heel against her and hired
her cook out of hand. Moreover, when
charged with her treachcry she coolly
insisted that she ha6 every right in the
world to hire another woman's cook
away from her if she could, no matter if
that woman was her best friend.
Mrs. A. fairly gasped at the heresy.
Women had occasionally been known to
do this dark and dishonorablc uecd, but
there had mover been one found SO hard
enedin 'iniquity as to- defendIit. Per-
haps Mrs. Is. would be capable of like
defense if she had estranged the affect
ions of Mrs. AS husband or children
from her. Mrs. B. had the grace given
her to rejoin that there was no parallel
in the cases. This was an affair purely
of business. The cooks services were
WORTH so much n month to Mrs. i. If
they werc worth moro to another woman
that woman had perfect right to mako
the fact known to the cook and the cook
to profit by it. This was the business
method, and no man accused another of
dishonorablo methods because he had
offered his most competent assistant
better pay for his services. Mrs. A. re.
fused to look at the matter in that light
and they paTted-Mrs. A. in tears, Mrs.
i: in the cool consciousness of business
sagacity and Of unsullicd rcctitude.'
Tho matter was speedily brought into
an sopen parliament of their scommon
women friends, there to be the subject
of FAN intellectual game of battledore
ana shuttle%coclr that is still at its
briSkest. .Vb't

How Boys Tried to Got Rid sof THEN
.-Fs Leather Trousers.

How Boys Tried to Got Rid gof Their
--fg Leather Trousers.
4 hundred years ago or more it was
customary in some parts of New En-
gland for men and boys to wear trousers
mado OF leather, says the Youths Com
panion Tho historian of the town of
Wells, Me-, remarks that such garments
were not altogether satisfactory, for tho
rather curious reason that they lasted
too long
Wo remember hearing matron of the
oldcn times tell story of tho two boys
OF one Of their neighbors. They had
begged of thcir mother that they might
lay aside thoir leather trousers and have
pair made Of domestic cloth; but all
their entreaties were in vain, She
would give them no other encourage
ment than to promise that when tho
leather was worn out they should have
a pair of honcspun.f &
They endured for long time the vex-
alton of the unyiolding garments, which
promised to be as lasting as the raiment
of the Israelites in the Wilderness.
Finally all hope failed the boys and
their wits came to their aid. They took
to the grindstone. One sat upon it
while the other turned the crank. In
imagination they saw themselves already
clothed in the long-desired homespun.
But, alasl their hopes were suddenly
blasted. All st once their father came
round the corner of the barn and discoy.
ercd them thus employed. They had
still to wear the leathcr-for how much
longer the historian Is unable to say,

THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHEAT CULTURE,

Some thirty years ago, the French considered a
wheat crop quite good when it yielded % bushels to
the acre; but with the same soil the present REQUIRE
ment is at least 33 bushels while in the best soils the
crop good only when it yields from 43 to AS bushels
and occasionally the product is as much as 554
bushels to the acre. There are whole countries
Hesse for example-which are satisfied only when
the acreage crop attainS 81 bushels while the expert
mental farms of central France produce from wear
to year, over large areas Al bushels to the acre. and
number of farms in northern France regularly Weld
year after year, from % to 5S bushels to the acre.
Occasionally, even much as so bushels has been oh.
tanned upon limited areas under special care In
fact, it Is now proved that by combining series of
such simple operations the selection of seeds SOW.
ing in rows, and proper manurng, the crops can
be increased by at least 10 per cent. over the best
present average while the cost of production can be
reduced by 90 per cent. by the use of some inexpep
slve machinery; to say nothing of costly machines
like the steam digger or the pulverlzers which make
the soil required for each special culture They are
now occasionally resorted to here and there but thee
will come into general as soon as humanity feels
the need OF increasing the agricultural product tenod

A CHANGE OF BASE.

The discussion of the federal election bill in news
paper and magazine all over the country the amend
ments made to it that make it applicable and opera
tive In Massachusetts in Alabama, have swept the
ground away under the feet of its fiery opponents and
they change their tactics and say the bill is all right
they don't fear it, it do harm to their party he
cause 1t can not be enforced Like so many other laws
they can't nuify by opposition they render deadlet
tiers by paralyzng the conscience of judge Jury and
public officer Those who would enforce them must
DO it at the peril OF their lives their happiness and
their property.
Just as the religious fanatics of few centuries ago
considered it service to God to stie conscience and
take human life like water because of difference of
opinion on some matter Of theology so the political
fanatics OF to day think it crime to deraud the voter
out OF his rights or kill him il he persists in demand
ing them. 1t does not stop at color Black or white
1t is only question of daring to differ with the
murderous bourbon spirit of the age and section.
In Brenton, Ala- April 7th, a court sentenced one
man to two years jail for stealing hog and anotb
er man to SIX mouths in the county jail for killiao
negro.
1t is openly taught and advocated by the Southern
political leaders that to prevent coored man from
voting IS service to the country and political murder
IS no crime punishable by law. The moral conscience
is bunted. Murderers are neither apprehended nor
punished You cant get jury to do SO. Neither can
you get jury to enforce the federal election law
