A Good SEED Bed.

T.B. Terry, Of Ohio, is a farmer who
unites high degree Of intelligence with
the most practical work. He farms to
make money eTery time, and he can be
depended upon never to waste time or
labor where il is not needed. But there
is one place where he is always lavish Of
labor. and that is in preparing a good
thorough seed-bed for everything he
plants. In Communication 20 the Ma
tional &OckaGE he says:
Il have Just got my wheat in, little
better, think, than ever before. Day
after day was spent in narrowing and
rolling that Mr.. Crosby would think
labor lost. l would like to avoid the Ia
Dor, but experience and observation have
taught me that this thorough work gives
one the best chance for wheat, as 8 rule.
Years ago had field thoroughly fitted,
fine and settled and firm. Just before
putting il in, in order to make a little
change in my fields, l plowed another
acre and fitted it hurriedly, as Mr.. C. sd
Tises The former field stood the winter
and was fine; the latter was sickly sight
in the spring Many times have l no
ticed similar results"

Webster's Income.

The legal profession of the present day
will be surprised to learn that Mr.. Web
ster, the greatest American lawyer Of his
time, made but $4,000 q year by his
practice. But the fees Of cocnsel between
1910 and 1850 were not Whist they have
been since.
In IS4s l accompanied client TO Mr..
Webster's Office in Boston and asked him
70 name a retaining fee in an important
patent case. He said be thought a coup
le Of hundred dollars would do. When
the case was tried his fee was only ST.
600. On another occasion paid him q
retaining fee Of 5000 for the proprietors
ofth Goodyear India Rubber patent
His fee for arguing the great equity
cause of Goodyear VS.. Day in the circuit
court Of the United States for the district
of New Jersey, by which he established
the validity Of the Goodyear patent, was
5000. This was in the spring Of 1882,
and il was the last case that he ever ar
gued.
His professional income from lSlS 10
1923, during which period he was out of
Congress, was, thing, $4,000 year

DiSh-Washing.

lawfully commonplace subject, isn't
it, and yet it is very important one, y
said an.admirable housekeeper. Indeed,
think 1 could preach an excellent ser
mon with. dish-cloths for a text. Just
what kind are best and how they should
be cared for are matters that receive but
little attention in the average household
indeed, far to little, for on the judicious
management of some items of this sort
much of the daintiness and what might
be called the poetry Of dish-washing de-
pends. For there is poetry in dishwash-
ing, although as that operation is COM
monty carried on it isn't apparent to the
ordinary esthetic taste. have tried all
sorts of cloths, linen, cotton, and mix
lures Of these materials, and for long
time could find nothing that exactly
pleased me. One day, in fit of desper-
alton at not being able to lay my hands
on Just what / wanted, caught up an
empty flour sack which had been through
the laundry, and was so delighted with
it that l have been perfect miser in the
item Of -four sacks ever since, and woe
be to the unfortunate handmaiden who
destroys one or appropristes it to any
other use. The soft, fine cotton makes
absolutely perfect cloths, and when my
supply Of these runs short / buy cotton
as nearly like the cotton material as l
can find, and stitch it up into bags in
precisely the same shape. 1t has the ad-
ditional Recommendation of being mex
pensive, and where one buys flour by the
bag, of utilizing that which is often al
lowed to 20 to waste. As that is, or
should be, an important item in the man
agement of every household, l consider
my discovery most fortunate one. Any
housekeeper, who will take the trouble
to try thisexperiment may find the dish
cloth problem as happily solved for her
as / found it for myself York

"onions Boiled in Molasses'

George Washington, while attending
a swell reception at Newport, noticed
that the daughter Of his host, Miss FL
lery, was suffering from . severe sore
throat, and could not speak above a
whisper.
General Washington, noticing this en-
b1rrassment Of his youthful hostess, said
TO her:
Miss Ellery, you seem to be suffering
very greatly. What is the matter with
you ?"
Miss Ellery told him the cause Of her
trouble. upon which the general said TO
her:
"I suffer very frequently from q sore
throat, and take remedy which find
very useful, and which I would recon-
mend to you were not sure you would
not take it."
But am sure" replied Miss Elleryi
That / would take any remedy that
General Washington would propose"
Well, then" said the General, " IT is
this-onions boiled in mOlssses. II has
cured me often"
Miss EIlery took the remedy, and Of
course wss cured.

How Do You Walk 2

A shoemaker says as lsoon.ss q man
comes into my shop and takes of his
shoes | can tell whether or not he Is a
good walker, and it is astonishing to find
how few men know the proper way TO
step out If the shoe is worn down at
the heel, not on the side, but straight
back, and the leather Of the shoe shows
signs Of weakness ct the ball of the foot,
little greater on the inside just below
the base Of the great toe, | know that
the wearer is good walker. II, howev-
er, the heel is turned on one side, or is
worn evenly throughout, and the sole is
worn most near the toe, / know that l
have TO deal with poor pedestrian The
reason of the difference in position Of the
worn spots lies in the fact that the poor
walker walks from his knee and the good
one from his hip. Watch the passsr-by
on the street, and you will at once see
the difference. Nine out of ten men will
bend the knee very considerably in walk
ing, stepping straight out with both hips
on the same line. and the toe will be
the first to strike the ground The tenth
man will bend his knee very little, just
enough to clear the ground, and will
swing the leg from the hip, very much
as the arm is swung from the shoulder,
and not from the elbow. BY 50 doing
he calls upon the muscles which are
strongest to bear the strain, and increas-
es the length of his stride four or six
inches The heel touches the ground
frst, and not the toe A slight spring is
given from the ball of the foot on making
another stride. Men who walk in this
fashion cover the ground 80 per cent
faster with the same exertion than those
who walk from the knee. In pugilism
the old rule is to strike from the shoul-
der, and not from the elbow In pedes-
tfianism it is TO walk from the hip and
not from the nee."-GlObe-Deaocrat.

Movements OF tho French Army.
LONDON, Sept. 23-The Paris CORE
spondent Of The Times gives the substance
of a German officers report to his govern
ment on the recent French army maneu-
veY. This officer Gays that the infantry
fighting In dispensing order surpassed any
thing hitherto seen. Referring 10 the
movements in close order, he says that for
for regularity and compactness they recall
the Greek phalanx. Continuing, the Ger
man officer remarks that the cavalry, per
haps, are lacking In calmness, but their
mobilizing would serve as model for the
cavalry of other countries.
In the report mentioned the German ex.
port also says that In spite Of certain
faults In concentric movements and sup.
ply arrangements there 10 no mistaking q
the exactness and breadth of vision with
which General Ssussier executes his plans,
adding, "and In face sf unexpected situa.
tions, his orders testify to the admirable
