ECONOMY on THE FARM.

The profit derived is that sum left over
from the gross receipts after all the ex-
penses have been deducted. and the more
economy practiced the smaller the ex-
penses, and consequently there is a cor
respondingly larger profit. There are
seasons of the year when it is difficult to
curtail expenses, but farmers sometimes
entail upon themselves expenses that may
be avoided by using discretion. To retain
that which entails of itself an expense is
to add to the expense itself, and to en-
deavor to do more than the capacity of the
farm permits is to add expense by curtail-
ing the productive power of those things
that are more largely depended upon to
afford profit. Such is the case when the
land is taxed to perform a service-that
of producing crop-without being sup
piled with the proper amount of manure
| or fertilizer the expense of labor required
to secure crop from land SO treated being
sometimes equal to that necessary for the
securing of abundant yields.

DIALOGUE OF THE HORSES.
FIRST HORSE.

FIRST HORSE.
We are the pets of men
The pampered pets of men.
There is naught for us too gentle and good
In the graceful days of our babyhood;
We frisk and caper in childish glee-
Oh, none so pretty and proud as We
They cheer and cherish US in our play
Oh, none SO smilingly sweet as they
And when little OF our lives have grown,
Each has table and room his own,
A waiter to fill his bill of fare.
A barber to clean and comb his hair.
Yes, we are the pets of men
The pampered pets of men.
They show US, gaily dressed and proud,
To the eager OF the clamorous crowd;
They champion us IN the rafting race,
They praise our beauty ana cheer our pace;
They keep for us our family trees
They trumpet our names beyond the seas;
They hang our portraits on the walls,
And paint and garniSh and gid our stalls.
Yes, we are the pets of men
The pampered pets of men.

SECOND HORSE.
NE are the slaves of mem

we dIe Tie Strives Vi ueu-
The mental slaves of men.
They lash US over the dusty roads,
They bend us down with murderous loads:
They fling vile insults on our track,
And know that we can not answer back
In winds of winter, or summer sun,
The tread of our toll is never done;
And when we are weak, and DID, and lame,
And labor-stiffened, and bowed with shame,
And hard of hearing, and blind of eye,
They drive us out in the world to die
Yes. We are the slaves of men
The slaves of selfish men.
They draft US into their bloody spites,
The spur US, bleeding, into their fights;
They poison our souls with their senseless ire,
And curse US into storm of fire,
And when 10 death we are bowed and bent,
And take the ball that for them was meant,
Alone they leave US to gr0an and bleed,
And dash their spurs into another steed.
Yes, we are the slaves of men
The slaves of british men.

Big Game and Wolves.

II is not often that one nights adventure
in Michigan in these modern days deals
with dear bear and wolves, but here is
such a one. Mrs. James NJ. Fowls, of
Strongville, was descending the upper pen
insular Pine river in small boat on q
Sunday, when large buck deer, pursued
by wolves, plunged into the stream. 1t
made directly for her craft and jumped half
into the boat. The woman jumped out, and,
standing up to her waist in the water she
struck the deer between the horns with her
paddle.
She succeeded in cutting one jugular
with a iackknife, when a wolf made an at
tempt at it for his prey, swapping piece
out of one shoulder Mrs. Fowls turned
her attention to the wolf, dealt him a blow
with the paddle and put him to flight
The others did not trouble her, and she
succeeded in finishing the deer with her
knife and putting the carcass into her boat.
When she landed at Strongville she turned
her boat over her game, walked home two
miles and told her husband
When he reached the boat be found a
bear in the act of making a meal of one
leg of the deer Bruin was frightened
away and Mr. Fowls ytook home a deer
which dressed 200 pounds. The 500 Demo-
crat is in possession of the necessary afi-

''::Sa wHigZreHt - coming" said wee
Willie Winkie confidently to Miss Altar
dyce, land it's all wight. Don't envy"
He needed the advice himself. for ten min
utes later when his father came up he was
weeping bitterly, with his head in Miss AL
lardyce's lap.
And the men of the One Hundred and
Ninety-fifth carried him home with shouts
and rejoicings; and Copy. who had rid
den horse into a lather, met him, and, to
his intense disgust, kissed him openly in
the presence of the men.
But there was no balm for his dignity.
His father assured him that not only would
the breaking of arrest be cordoned, but
that the good conduct badge would be re-
stored as soon as his mother could sew it
on his blouse sleeve. Miss Allardyce had
told the colonel story that made him
proud of his son.
"She belonged TO you, Copy" said Wee
Willie Winkie, indicating Miss Allardyce
with a grimy forefinger. Il knew she

An Anonymous Authoress.

Up to this present moment not more
than half dozen persons are aware that
Miss Sadie Elliott, daughter of the late
bishop of Georgia, is the author of Jerry"
the charming anonymous novel in Scrib-
ner's Magazine. Her secret has been well
kept, and, while the reading world has
specUlated upon the probability of Miss
Murfree's choosing to remystify the public
by withholding her signature, Miss Elliott
has made no sign in evidence, of her rights.
Some of the critics have yentured the opin-
ion tbata new light had risen among the
southern consultations.
This theory IL likewise at fault;for "Jer-
ry' is the work of an experienced writer
and ripe scholar. Miss Elliott, no longer
in her early youth, published several sto-
ries, essays and novels under her own name
a dozen years ago They were all more or
less clever and showed the promise of good
things to come, but none of them began to
make the sensation achieved of the present
pathetic history of little Tennessee lad.
Jerry will have the honor Of ranking his
author with Charles Egbert Craddock,
Frances Courteny Baylor, Molly Elliott
Seawell and the other leading southern
writers
MISS ElIlOJU comes OF distinguished
Tennessee family, being the daughter of
one bishop and the sister of another, besides
counting prominent journalists and pro-
fessional men in her immediate connec-
ton. Her people have been brainy and of
high social standing for several genera
tions, and those who have followed their
careers will not be surprised at this last
Elliott achievement The lady is small,
with rather an elegant figure. of dignifed
presence, and face and head indicative of
marked intellectually. She has brown
hair and eyes, dresses simply and remains
entirely Indifferent to societys blandish-
ments.-NeyY York Sun.

Getting Rid OF Buzzins in che Telephone

Getting Rid OF Burning in che Telephone.
The Central New York Telephone and
Telegraph company of this city has devised
a plan by which the induction to its lines
by the electric current en- the wires of the
Belt line street railroad is in a measure
overcome When the electric cars were
first operated, and at times since, patrons
of the telephone company hsvecomplained
of buzZing sound in the instrument when
the receiver was placed to the ear, making
it difficult to understand the person at the
other end of the line Trouble was also
occasioned in the exchange by the frequent
falling of the anhunciatoF when no one
had sent in a call.
Investigation by the company's cleo
tricians revealed the fact that the trouble
was occasioned by the electric cars. The
current from the underground wires of
the railroad spread out and interfered with
the return circuit of the telephone COM
pany. The difficulty can never be entirely
obviated, but plan has been hit upon by
which the service is greatly improved. A
large copper wire has been run from the
central Office between the line wires on
which the phones are connected, and
thence into the ground, thus establishing
s balance between the two currents.-Utica

q The E1ttstOn man who was murdered
Tor trying to prevent murder, as de-
1cribed la the news columns, was acting
/ 1nrR prAnerly under the circumstances,
hut he had no'business to be under cir
'cumstances of the kind. BY joining the
crowd Of the foolish men who were
spending their hard-earned wages In a
hight Of drunken carousing, he ac-
sreptsd responsibility for whatever mis-
sohief they might do, and he knew
E59y well that among crowd Of
- sort, half crazy with bad whisky,
4nost anything might happen. Men
der such conditions become fierce and

human nature In ancient times, but IL
pretty generally smothered by modern

human weakness is too familiar TO ex-

( The ever recurring disastrous over
tl0ws Of the Mississippi river are surely
not creditable to our government or our
senglneering skill--to one or both. They
0lscredit our skill IL they are not pre-
|;ventAble by It; and our government If
they are preventAble and are not pre-
vented. The cause of the overflow being
the fncapacity Of the river to take the
drainage of the country within Its banks,
'Obviously the capacity must be increased
Of additional outlets for the food waters
found. These waters must bc taken care
Of and they seem TO be increasing
rather than lessening In their amount.
i II Is said that the elimination Of forests
hastens the progress of the rainfall to-
ward the rivers though 1t Is said again
that the destruction of trees diminishes
the rainfall. What the truth may be as
/! 70 the influence of tree destruction upon
rainfall and upon floods is yet to be de-
Stefmined but what we do know Is that
our floods are not decreasing and that
they furnish the present greatest work
j for our engineering science.
The Mississippi floods have been cared
for In an engineering way by raising
the banks; with the apparent result
; that the river bed also has been raised
BY the deposit Of the mud so that levees
have failed to be adequately protective.
i When they give way to the force Of the
waters, rs they are wont to do, the last
condition Of the inhabitants Is worse
than 1t would be without the levees, as
the waters they have gathered and pent
up fall In added volume and force from
the river whose surface has been raised
high above the level of tho land.
Captain Eads had scheme, which
oeemed plausible, Of reversing the mode

The river, causing the flood, by engineer
ing works that narrowed the channel
y and quickened the flow of the water, to
! coop the mud from the bottom aud

A II engineering works would really ac-
eOmplish such result, the solution of
4 the trouble would be found; but the
3 question is whether they would do so.
M In the failure Of any practicable
sxooheme to take the flood waters into tho
