A Disagreeable Experience.

American women would do we'll when
making an extended sojourn abroad,
says the N. Y. Commercial advertiser,
to inquire into the laws which govern
the citizens of the country in which
they are temporarily living before they
permit themselves to add to the popu-
lation of the country. Mrs. M. ID.
Sherman of Albany has had disagree
able experience of this kind, which for
a time was so serious as to overshadow
the family's spirits and cause gloom
to settle upon ali of the Sherman
household. Mrs. Sherman, in conf
pany with her husband and daughter,
has been travelling through Europe for
the last two years. At Geneva, Oct.
IA, 1890, little Sherman baby came
into the world and was registered as a
Swiss citizen. The registrars of the
town, the town council, and the presi-
dent of the Swiss republic regarded
the child as Swiss, and when, in the
course of time, Mrs. Sherman decided
to return home she was informed that
she must leave the little Swiss boy be-
hind her. All the rest might go. but
little Charles Buchanan Sherman must
remain. At the age of 81 he must
serve in the Swiss army. and having
served his apprenticeship there would
then be at liberty to return to America
and his mother. Mr.. Sherman, after a
great deal of talk and much red tape,
got special order from the Swiss
consul to bring his baby home. And
now Round Lake, beautiful summer
resort near Albany, enjoys the honor ol
temporarily possessing Charles Bu'
| chanan Sherman.

Mr.. sooKWALTER'S FARMS.
He Will Group the Farmers and So Make
Them Contented.

John W. Bookwalter owns 10000
acres of land in Nebraska. He pro-
poses to work revolution among the
farmers of Nebraska, says the Kansas
City Star.
up to the time was 81 years of
age" said he, Il spent all my days on
farm. Although had been born to
it and never knew anything else, still
thing awful to me. l couldn't bolt
city because l didn't know where to go
or what to do. The whole secret of
farmers discomfort and drudgery is
the isolation-the living apart from all
the rest of the world and civilization
itself. The most intelligent, clear
Drained class on earth is the American
farmer. If he has little library of
twenty-five books he will reread them
time and again until he can almost re-
peat them line by line.
Now, my idea is to collect
them together in small area. not in
villages. but in little groups. so to
speak. Let the houses be arranged
regardless of streets or sidewalks,
just so they are near each other.
Then have the farms all about, encir-
cling the homes. They need not be
more than one-third of mile distant,
but don't have the farm land and the
homestead together. propose to do
this in Pawnee county. Nebraska. l
have already started the idea, and a
little settlement hardly as large as the
smallest village has been named for
me. l am gcing to build a town hall
and establish free circulating library.
This scheme is in vogue among the
farmers of France. Spain, Italy, and
Switzerland, and is great success. l
have talked with the rustics of these
countries and told them of the Ameri-
can farmers way of living, and they
held up their hands in horror at such
a thought.
There is no doubt about it. This
scheme is perfectly practicable, and if
I can bring other farmers to see its
advantages as readily as I have mine
l dare to hope for a great change some
day.
''Let me sum up few cardinal ad-
vantages to be derived by this plan:
Il. The tedium of farm life in gen.
eral will be removed.
Z. IL Will hoop lH0 Idl LII IVY az
home and make them more contented
with their life.
''3. 1t will tend to advance the farm
er in education. knowledge of worldly
affairs, and put him in touch with the
world.
II. He can go to church several
times week if he chooses without
driving ten miles to get there.
''5. If domestic service is desired in
the household it will be much easier
matter to obtain and retain it.
ITO generalize. this scheme has all
the virtues of country life without the
vices of the city life"
Mr.. Bookwalter will also btNld
homes in this little settlement for
every farmer who will agree to his
scheme and promise to work for its
advancement. The rent of the home
will be a merely nominal sum-one
that the poorest farmer can pay--and
if at the end of certain number of
years he has occupied it and improved
his opportunities he can buy the home
at small price. Mr.. Bookwalter pro-
poses to spend between $4,000 and
800, 600 on his project, as it is already
an assured success.

Broke a Latnp Shade.

Mrs. Edmund Russell. the apostle of
esthetics, has voice that would break
a lamp shade, says the Detroit Free
Press.
This remark is not meant to be i'm
polite, and it ought to be true. for the
lady herself is authority for the state
ment.
ut was in Boston," she said. Il
was talking with famous voice teach
er about tones and vibrations, and we
both sounded certain note in unison.
We must have hit the exact unit of
vibration of an eight-inch shade, for
near where we were standing the
crystal globe about gas jet quivered
and snapped. We looked at it and a
crack ran quite around it. The sound
had broken it."
This is rather an unusual incident,
certainly, but the principle is familiar
enough. A dog trotting across foot
bridge can break it down if he happens
to hit the unit of vibration, which, of
course, differs with the length of the
bridge. It's good military rule to
break step when a company walks
across bridge unless it's unusually
strong. But woman's voice

HeRRMANN,s NEAT TRICK.
The Manner in Which He Repaired the
Czar's Mirror.

People have repeatedly asked ME
which of my tricks has pleased me the
most, and which take the most de-
light in performing. Naturally the
effort that brings the greatest success
regarded by man as his best.
consider the trick of restoring the
shattered mirror as my most famous
one. This l had the honor of per-
forming before the Gar of Russia up
On an invitation to give an exhibition
at his court. 1t was done unexpected
ly to the spectators, and was not down
on the regular bill. While playing
billiards with the attaches of the court
after the performance. the Gar being
present in the saloon. l shot ball with
all my strength against plate glass
mirror extending from floor to ceiling.
1t was shivered into fifty pieces. Con-
sternation was depicted on every
countenance; on none more plainly
than my own. While the Gar court
eously waived my apology. considering
the destruction of the mirror as trihing,
and ordered the game to proceed, l
could easily see that my supposed awk-
wardness made a disagreeable im-
preston.
With the Cars permission l ex-
amined the mirror to estimate the
damage done and the possibility of re-
pairing it. While so engaged one of
the suite playfully challenged me to
exercise my art and make the mirror
whole again, never dreaming that this
challenge was the very cue 1 wanted,
and not considering the successful ac-
ceptance of it as possible. l hesitated
an instant, and then ordered the mir
ror to be covered with cloth entirely
concealing it from view. On the re-
moval of the cloth, after ten minutes,
the mirror was found without a flaw,
and as perfect as before the damage.
1 will leave it to my readers imagina'
tion to decide how this trick was done

THE WEesTERs' EARLY POVERTY.
How Daniel and Ezekiel Had to Struggle
for Education.

The following extracts from the let
ters of Daniel Webster and his brother
Ezekiel, says the Youths Companion,
will indicate how the young men had
to struggle with poverty through their
college days. The reader will remem-
Der that the home farm was mort
gagged to pay Daniels expenses through
college, and when it was proposed to
give Ezekiel similar advantages the
father and mother had a council. 1.-The
farm is already mortgaged." said the
old gentleman, land if we send Ezekiel
to college it will take all we have, but
the boys think they can take care of
u.s."
1t did not take the strong-hearted,
sagacious woman long to decide the
matter. 1--WE can trust the boys" she
said.
So the matter was settled. Daniel
went back to Hanover, while Ezekiel
went, bundle in hand. to DR.. Woods
and began the study of Latin, his ex-
penses being but dollar week.
In November. 1902, Daniel was at
home in Salisbury. while Ezekiel was
struggling with poverty at Hanover.
Funds were getting low in the Web
ster homestead. Daniel writes under
date of Nov. 4:
Now, Zeke, you will not read half a
sentence-no, not one syllable-before
you have thoroughly searched this
sheet for scrip; but my word for it.
you'll find no scrip here. We held
sanhedrim this morning on the subject
of cash. Could not hit upon any way
to get you any. Just before we went
away to hang ourselves through disap-
pointment it came into our heads that
next week might do.
The truth is, father had an execu-
ton against Hubbard of North Chester
for about 800. The money was col
lecting and just ready to drop into the
hands of the creditors, when Hubbard
suddenly died. This, you see, stays

administering is completed.

federal currency. Next week l shall
send them. if they be all.
We are all here just in the old way,
always behind and lacking. Boys dig
ging potatoes with frozen fingers and
girls washing without wood.
Ezekiel writes to Daniel at about the
same time, the two letters probably
crossing each other:

sensibly inform me that want warm

Color of Eyes in Men and Women

NJ. de Candolie, a French Investigator
has come to the conclusion from his
researches that women have larger
proportion of brown eyes than men.
He also finds that where both parents
have eyes of like color the chances
are eighty-eight to twelve that their
children, when they arrive at the age
of 10 (when the color of the eyes Is
tixed), will have eyes of the same color.
When the parents have eyes of different
colors the chances are tifty-five tc
forty-five in favor of brown as against
blue or gray eyes in the children. He
is also of the opinion that the health OF
the brunette type is. as rule, superior
to that of the blonde.

In the schooIma's Favor.

There is no use poking fun at the
schoolma'am. She is too well estab-
lished, and too highly respected to be
injured by anything a silly joker may
say.
She makes an excellent wife for the
right sort of man. Her training in
the school-room. and her struggle to
make her salary pay rent and bills
with margin for pin-money, comes
mighty handy to a man who is striving
to get fair start in life; or even for
one who has made start and doesn't
want to see his cash account growing
smaller instead of larger.
If she is well treated she will prove
a true and faithful friend. Pihs6urg

Giant steed and Riders Footprints

There is flat rock near the old
Echols mill at Crawford that covers an
acre of ground. One of the strange
features of the rock is the track of some
huge beast of burden; also the track OF
the rider of this queer antediluvian
monster. 1t seems that the rider and
his steed made tour across the rock,
leaving their tracks impressed in the
solid granite.
About middleway of the story sur
face can be seen place where the girth
of the riders saddle broke and he dis.
mounted to fix it. leaving his tracks as
plain as if made in sand-bed. The
hand of time has not erased them, but
they are there now. showing the form
of the animals feet and the precise i'm
preston of the giants feet impressed
therein, with toes and all as perfect and
distinct as schoolboy's bare foot track
of to o-day.-AtLa1atd Constitution.
