Unreasonable Visits.

There are some people who seem to
think that visiting is the most impor-
tant dnty of life. They come in at any
hour of the day, usually in the morning.
that most precious working time for
women, just to chat about something of
not the slightest importance to the per-
son visited ooh, we are not going to
detain you; we won't stop moment"
they say. While the hostess listens
and replies courteously to the conversa-
ton of her guests her ear catches
omiDous sounds in the kitchen; she
hasteDs to SEE aud remedy the mischief,
and is quickly back again with the
visitors, who remark on the loveiness
of the day, and what q pity it is for any
one to stay in the house such weather.
The hostess makes some polite reply
agreeing to the statement made, but
thinks of her duties in the other room
waiting for her, how she would have
had them completed but for her I'M
timely visitors, who, though having re-
NAMED fully an hour, always going, yet
seem not any nearer TO it than when
first seated. After another hour spent
in the same way, dnriDg which time tho
nervous housekeeper has made many
journeys TO and from the kitchen, the
guests leave, remarking that they
couldn't possibly remain any longer,
and the wearied woman goes back to
her neglected work. Why such people,
if they must visit, should choose the
busiest part of the day to call upon wo-
men whom they know to have all they
can do, toll as hard rs they may, to get
their work we'll done, in preference to
those having more leisure at their dis
posal, like the riddle of the sphinx, is
hard to answer-Philadelphia Herald

A Boys Story About Dogs, Pants. Etc

A dog has pants and 80 does tt man,
but dogs pants comes from his inside
and mans pants come on his outside.
A man can get pants without running,
but dog generally has to run for them.
A dog can get pants without money, and
a man can't-uniesss he steals them or
somebody makes him n present OF a
pair. A dog never has Il pair Of pants
ut the same time. A dog has new pants
every day, but man often wears his
pants longer than he ought TO, because
he is short OF shekels and his tailor
won't trust him but dogs tail or trust
will last till his pants bust, and then die
he must. A dog always has q stock OF
pants inside-aO has every we'll appoint
clothing store; but mans pants are
always stuck outside, although his stock
ing is inside.
All dogs make pants, but all pants
don't make dogs, though the dudes in
pants sometimes look more like dogs
than anything else.
The word pantaloons is no doubt de-
rived from the fact that many man
looks like loon when he wears pants
that look like hop sacks, so vast is Their
yo,nnae. "Pant, alb, loon ~ says the dog
as he looks aldd laughs.

and there are dogs in pants as well as
pants in dogs. Pants always nave three
big holes in them-one to get ID at the
top and two to get ont at the bottom
But have seen many G D fellow who
had pants holey elsewhere. Pants ore
queer things, and are the only ants that
have no bodies.
Pants are always made to button
That is why the frolicsome goat tries to
butt on them when they come in bis
way. A dogs pants can never be seen
and he can do without pants, but man
can't. A mans pants are suspended
when they are in use, but when q dogs
pants are suspended they are not in use
A man sometimes dies in his pants
but generally his pants dye before him
and almost alwaysa man finds dye IN
his pants and dog often pants il his
die--and in bis day, too. A man can
suspend his pants on o line, and Q doc
will suspend his pants on line it it il
drawn tightly around his neck
Dogs are good aud SO are pants, but
pants are better without dogs than dogs
without pants.
Will write some more about the ma.
tnral history of dogs and pants when

Died When 1t Reached Its value.

Henry J. Mowry, OF Syracuse, IS a
great horse buyer and q man who can
tell the good and bad points about g
horse with his eyes shut. He was SO ex'
perS in horsefesh that President Cleve
land trusted him to buy his horses, and
the finest animals Washington has eve,
seen were brought there for Mr. Cleve
land by Mr.. Mowry. Several years ago
in Syracuse, he went into a car stable
which had just received fresh stock o.
horses. He was asked to look them over,
and did SO. After he got through he tolo
the hostler to bring out q certain morse he
designated.
aHow much did you pay for thai
horsef'' he asked one OF the directors o.
the road
Seventy i've dollars. !
an two years, with careful training,
said Mr.. Mowry, shat horse will be
worth s15, 900 or TIL eat him.
The director followed Mr. GIowry's adj
vice. had the horse carefully trained,
and in one year more was worth Sl5,Oot
to tie owner. But on his first race ne
made misjump over hurdle, broke
his neck, and horse and $4,000 went
skyward.
When Mr. Mowry told the director to
lake that horse out and train him for q
hurdle jumper he did not state that he
would be apt to break his neck before he
made cent for his owner. Therefore
the director was out $4,000 for training
and S75 horse.

a New Acadian Immigration.
South illustrated.

South Illustrated.
Though the traditional Acadia
of century and q half ago be gone,
the name living only in memory in
Canada and surviving in the shape
of Acadien here in Louisiana--com.
ing to the surface of time, as it were,
bubble, in the pages OF Longfel-
lows "Evangeline'-still the blood
of the people of the old district of
Canada, which was depopulated by
the English long ago survives. The
posterity of the Acadians is to be
found scattered through the United
States, but their chief habitat is
Louisiana. Here, according to their
opportunities and dispositions, they
have thriven, prospecting apace with
the prosperity of the State. M.
turalIy, therefore, if an immigration
of Acadian or Canadian families of
these days from Canada to the
United States should be effected, it
is to Louisiana we apprehend that
their steps would be directed by
preference.
We have been led to these
thoughts by the incident of the sale
of a plantation containing some
1000 acres to a party Of twenty
Canadians, who intend to found
here a colony OF sixty Canadian
families; and as the plantation is
we'll stocked with mules and cattle,
and has seed cane to plant good
crop for next season, there is every
reason to believe that the project
will not only be successful to those
engaged in it, but that the colony
thus formed will prove a nucleus
around which will gather as time
goes by other Canadian families.
until in the heart Of the old Acadia
of Louisiana shall arise q new AGA
dia, people with industrious farmers
| of the small class, which our State
so much needs to develop her I'M
mense agricultural resources ano
whose presence will be conducive
| to the prosperity Of that section o.
Louisiana. The plantation in ques
ton is situated between Breau,
Bridge and St. Martinsville.
If this colony should be fount
successful, we think others interest
ed in such enterprises in the State
the men whose energies ant
shrewd intelligence foster immigra
tion-should take a note oft. Al
immigration of Canadians to Lou
isiana en- masse may easily be ef
fected if the promise held out t
them be encouraging. The estab
Iished and success of the este
phaine' colony may prove yet to b
that encouragement.

Thomas B. Reed, the partisan and
unscrupulous politician from Maine,
who presides over the deliberations of
the House of Representatives, requires
no rules for the transaction of business
in that body, but is law unto himself
from which there is no appeal. The
power which he Yields over the Demo-
cratic minority is as absolute and auto
cratic as that OF the Gar of Russia over
the lives and property Of his subjects.
This condition Of affairs will not con-
tinue always. There will be q day of
reckoning again, when the people will
rise up in all their power and majesty,

disaffection and disapprobation," hurl
tho offending party from power and re-
instate the grand old party founded by

Whence Weeds Come.

The Farmers Gazette, of London, re-
Gently made some practical remarks
upon weeds and whence they come. 1t
is probable, according to this article, that
the six most obnoxious weeds found on
arabic soils are the dock, thistle, nettle,
charlock, the poppy and bindweed. A
weed is defined as any plant out of place.
Cultivated grasses are frequently found
growing in arabic fields, and there they
are distinctly weeds, inasmuch as they
arc fed upon the food which the Guilt
waited crop requires and occupy the place
which it should occupy. In answer to
the question whence weeds come there
are, writes correspondent Of The Man
chester Guardian, "eight replies given,
to one or two Of which may refer. 1t
is remarked that the seeds Of weeds are
often present among the seeds which are
sown, and that especially is this the case
in grass seeds. TO guard against this the
farmer should go to seedsmen who are
known to have taken great precautions
in the cleaning of their seeds.
'EFurther, it Is remarked that many
seeds are introduced with manure which
is distributed upon the land. The wind
is responsible for carrying the seeds OF
weeds both into our gardens and fields,
and this is one reason why farmers
should not only keep their fields but
their hedgerows also clean. The hedge
rows are the cause of great deal OF
mischief, as well as the strips of land on
either side Of the high road, which no
body owns and which few attempt tc
clean. If the farm is to be kept free
from weeds, the hedges, the bitches ano
the roadsides must be kept clean also
Among other methods Of distributing
seeds, it is suggested that running sur
face waters and streams carry them from
field to field, that seeds are dropped by
birds and are found in their manure
while others are carried in the mud OF
their feet. Again, some seeds cling K
domestic animals and even to the cloth
ing Of the men. 1t is remarked that
after the invasion of France by the Ger
mans, weeds which had been carried b,
the German army appeared IN SOM
places where they had been PRACTICAL,
unknown before.

licious the Sardes are among the most
RELIGIOUS of nations. Seldom did we en-
ter a town or village without finding the
Mace either in the midst Of fiesta, an
ticipating coming fiesta, or discussing
the fiesta just ended. Scattered over the
island are multitude of small chapeis
dedicated to obscure saints, and to winch
the villagers for miles around flock with
provisions and bedding once OF twice a
year. They camp out in the open OF
sleep in adjacent caves; priest says lnass
in their midst, and they all eat and drink

A disagreeable litter of OK boltes, ribs
