Having made the road fence at
tractive, the line fences straight and
strong, lay out the fields as uniform
in size as possible, and gradually dis
place the old SNAKE" and "stake and
rider" fences with straight ones as
described, which is an economical
way, and will enable the farmer,
with less trouble, labor, and expense
to grow more crops, and perhaps
save the outlay Of buying more land.
/ might add, in conclusion, that
the only fence which the law re-
quires the farmer to maintain is that
between his farm and adjacent pro-

A Baboon Switchman.

A baboon is a we'll known charac-
ter in the Cape County, but more
particularly in the neighborhood of
Port Elizabeth. The history attach
ing to him is curious and probably
unique one. The signal-man, his
owner, was through no fault of his
own, run over by passing train,
and had to have both legs amputated,
which would naturally incapacitate
him from work, but the idea struck
him to secure a baboOn and train
him to do his work. This he has sue
cessfully accomplished, and for many
years the one in question has regu-
larly looked after the levers and done
the hard work of his afflicted master,
The animal is:possessed Of extraordi-
nary intelligence, and has never
made mistake. OF course, the hu-
man servant works the telegraphs,
and the baboon the levers, according
to instructions; and taking into con-
sideration the fact that at the station
in question, uitenhage Junction,
and about 20 miles from Port Eliza
beth, there is large volume of traf-
fic, the sagacity of the creature is
really wonderful. At first passen-
gers raised strong protest against
the employment of the animal on
the score of risk of accident, but the
baboon has never yet failed, during
his many years of work, and more
than one occasion has acted IN a
manner simply astounding to those
who never had personal experience
of the intelligence of these brutes.
One of his most noteworthy perfor-
mances was the correct switching
of an announced special train on its
correct line in the absence of the
signal man. The latter lives about
a mile up the line, and the baboon
pushes him out and home, morning
and night, and is the sole companion
of his legless master.

Private Aliens Only Lie.

Washington Post.
At one of the recent seances in the
cloak room "Private" John Allen, of
Mississippi, had the floor. "You
know never told but one lie in my
life" said the Mississippian.
"That cured me. 1t was back in
1862, a day or two after the second
battle of Manassas. ! was a small,
bare-looted soldier boy about fifteen
years old, marching with Lees army

so sore from marching over the rocks

came separated from my command,

"The country had been so often
raided by both armies that it was

would starve, when / suddenly spied

seemed to have been missed by the
soldiers. The family were just sit
ting down to good dinner, and at
my special request they invited me
in. do not remember ever to have
enjoyed a dinner so much, and not
knowing when / would get anything
more, tried myself, and ate a very
big dinner. In fact, l took on about
three days rations.
II left this house and had gone
about a half a mile when saw some
nice looking ladies going toward a
hospital with a covered basket. l
was sure they had something for the
sick soldiers, and, while l did not
feel that / could eat anything more

some provisions for the future, and
that | might get something to take

for my age, and a rather hard looking
specimen. You would never have
supposed l would have developed in
to the specimen of manly beauty
you now see before you. L approach
ed these kind-hearted ladies, and put
ting on my hungriest and most pitt
full look, said:
"Ladies, can't you tell me where
poor soldier boy, who has not had
a mouthful to eat for three days, can
get something to keep him from
starving ?"
"You should have seen the look o.
sympathy on their faces as they said
"We must not let this poor boy
starve,' and opening their baskets, il
which they had two pitchers ofgruel
they begun to feed me on cruel ou

above all things eatable, but, having
told the story about my hunger

The Wheat Area and Supply.

uC w uGdb fAlOd duu hSupplys
St. Paul Pioneer Press,
Noquestion ofrecent discussion has
excited more general interest than the
startling conclusions of Mr.. 9. Wood
Davis, recently summarized by the
Pioneer Press, drawn from a COM
prehensive survey of the productive
powers and requirements of the
world, that the consumption ofwheat
has already overtaken and surpassed
production that the annually in
creasing deficiency of the European
supply will become so great by 1895
that the production of the world will
fall short of filling it by 168,0O0,0OO
bushels, and by that time the con-
sumption of wheat in the United
States will have so far outrun its
home production that it will have
ceased to export wheat; that conse-
quently we are entering upon an era
of high prices for wheat and to lesser
extent of other food products to which
consumption must now be diverted
by the necessity Of the case. We
have already published interviews
with Mr.. CHARLES A. Pillsbury, of
Minneapolis, who may be regarded
as leading practical expert in sta
tistics of wheat supply and demand,
and who comedies entirely with the
views of Mr.. Davis as to the growing
deficiency in the worlds supply of
wheat, but holds that the natural
tendency to higher prices are neutral
lied and overborne by the specula-
tors of the Boards of Trade operating
with purely fictitious supplies OF
wheat. Mr.. S. w. Dusen, whose po-
sition at the head of the elevator
syndicate may be presumed to have
afforded the opportunity for forming
sound views upon the question, also
concurred, without any qualification,
in the conclusions of Mr.. Davis.

of his houses, horses, wives, and slaves,

that he was too rich and thought too

had him taken by soldiers to the slave
market, where he was put up for sale,

who were afflicted were not confirmed

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
w. w. BooHER.

The Reno journal prints the law
passed by the last Legislature in
reference to the election of School
Trustees, and comments thereon as
follows:
Lawyers say the Legislature must
have been helplessly hypnotized when
it passed the Act. One section says
an election shall be held in each
school district in the State on the
fourth Monday ia May, 1892, while
another as imperatively declares that
in counties having certain voting
population an election for School
Trustees shall be held on the fourth
Monday in May, 1891, and every two
years thereafter. AS both claims are
mandatory and one conflicts with the
other it remains for the courts to say
what they think the law makers meat.
Another clause Of the Act provides
that at the election to be held in May,
1891, there shall be elected in each
School District, having a voting pop
ulation Of 1900 or over at the last
general election, two Trustees for four
years, and one for two years and the
Trustees elected to serve four years,
shall taLe office on the first Monday
in January, 1895, and those elected to
sarve two years shah take office on
the fourth Monday in January, 1898.
In plain English School Trustees
elected On the fourth Monday
in May, 1894, are to take office
just sevon months before they are
elected.
"Hhe Act, too, it will be observed,
wholly and utterly ignores the Secret
Ballot law, which makes it the duty
of the County Clerk to provide printed
ballots for every election for public
Offices in which any voters within the
county participate.
"Paken altogether the Act is n
curiosity and it would be interesting
tn know the mental condition OF the
bosses who influenced" the majority
of.the solons when they passed it.
"The object Of the Act was doubt.
less to separate school elections from
political elections, but the Legislature
miyod and muddled tho matter until
it, 10 simply ridiculous"

singular runaway is reported from,

Gildcrsleeve, who had lived with her
husband for over thirty years and had
borne him four sons, some OF whom

home because, as she states in letter,
her husband had not furnished her
means to properly clothe herself and
had refused to give her the money to
have her teeth attended to. She there
fore secured a position at S14 month,
and with her earnings for year she
said that she proposed to9S have her teeth
properly cared for, and with the balance
to buy clothes to last her during life.
Then, if her husband would receive her,
she intended to return to him, as she
lowed him. Mr.. Gildcrsleeve has
searched in vain for his wife; says he
provided literally for her and furnished
her horse, but did not approve of her
having false teeth.
