Why not all boom farming for awhile?
1t has been run down long enough. Let
us turn off the chronic grumblers who
bave had such a glorious feast for the
past fifteen years. There is no sense in

Now is a good time to talk up farming

The farmers of the United States re-
ceived $48,00O,00C less for raising 49,
300, 900 acres of corn in 1886 than they
did for raising 68, 200, 900 acres in 1888,
though the former exceeded the latter
l18, 900, 900 bushels. In 1884 there was
sOwn 100000 acres more cats than in
1883, and $4,000, 600 more bushels raised
but to the farmers $4,000, 900 loss was

The resolution of the national execu-
tive committe of the Peoples party at
St. Louis disposes finally of any talk OF
lickering OF trading with the old party
politicians. Any individual or commit
tee monkeying with the fusion buzzsaw
thereby places himself outside of the
party organization, and can expect no
recognition from the national organiza-
ton. If you want to be a member OF

The unmistakable evidences every
lay presented that party fealty is losing
is power among the rank and file of the
people, and the fact that with one ac-
cord the great common people in all
sections of the country are announcing a
determination to vote their principles
regardless of party lines, does not in
licate anv change of principles on the
part of the people. 1t is a rebellion
against tyranny and oppression, be-
cause it is tyranny and APP ression for

Buckles That Buckle Nothing.

Buckles are admirable and useful things,
- every hostler is aware, and they enter
into the preservation of much that would
without their secure grip go to eternal
Imash. But the feminine buckle, the
buckle of ornament, pure and simple, seems
an absurdity, especially when it gets into
The hollow of a woman's back, and has no
excuse for being there. The other night at

Very Common Liquid GIycerine.

Facts Not Generally known About That
Very Common Liquid GIycerine.
Many years ago in an obscure mining
village in Sweden. an apothecary, while
making lead plaster in the ordinary way
by heating olive oil with htharge and
water, CHANGED to notice that the liquid
which WAS mingled with the pasty lead
compound had strangely sweet taste.
On further investigation he found that the
sweet taste was caused by the presence OF
an oily liquid which was dissolved IN the
water. No such substance was described
in the books of the day. Evidently dis
covery had been made. The discoverer,
although poor and with slight advantages
of education, was a man of more than or
binary ability. We can imagine. saws Pop
ular Science News, with what enthusiasm
Scheele-for that was his name-plunged
into the study OF the strange liquid. He
found that the sweet substance was not
the product of olive oil alone, but that
other oils and fats would yield it under the
same treatment So he named il the sweet
principle Of fats" or "oil sugar" Soon

A Spelling Game.


Each player is provided with pencil
and slip of paper, and the person having
charge of the game sits where a clock
or watch may be readily consulted. A
word is then selected and announced, a
long one containing number of vowels
being preferable This word is written at
the top Of each paper, and at given time
Aach of the players begins to write down
as many words as he can think of which
commence with the letters of which that
word is composed, each letter being used
only as often rs it occurs in the word Sc
lected
At the end Of three minutes the leader
calls "time, and each person reads aloud
the words on his slip and sets'the number
of them down in numerals When one
writes a wood that contains letter or let
ters not in the original word, he loses two
marks, which he must set down against
himself; and if any one has words which
no one else has thought of, he is allowed .
take two credits for each. After the words
have all been read, the next letter Of the
original word is taken as the initial for a
new set of words, aud when these have beeS
treated like the others the next letter is
taken, and so on until all have been used.
The leader must see to it that no one writes
a word after time is called.
Take, for example, the word aristocratic.
Beginning with the letter will be found
the wards art, artist, air, arctic, aorta, at,
nttic, acts, actor, etc. These having been
read and the debit and credit marks set
down, new set of words beginning with r
are written, such as root, rot, roc, rots, etc.
When letter occurs twice or oftener in
the word, it is used but once as an initial.
The player who has been able TO remem-
Der the fewest words, or who has made the
most errors in the original word. is sen
fenced to pay forfeit 10y one who has the
most credit marks This game not only
affords considerable amusement but It

who are not well UP in spelling.-Deline-
