Very quietly I folded up the papers

IngersoIl Talks About the Farmers.

Although Col. Ingersoll, the dis.
tinguished agnostic, is well informed
on almost every subject, he confines
himself, as rule, to law, politics
and religion. Once in while, how,
over, he talks OF other matters in
that picturesque language for which
he is so famous.
In st, Paul, Mimi, the other day
the spirit moved him to express his
views with respect to the farmers
movement, and this is what he said:
81 do not blame the farmers for
trying to better their condition. I ey

One of the mistakes of the times is the
popular belief that everything in a bust
ness way must be big. The idea has
grown out of our haste to grow wealthy
and from superficial calculation, such as.
if one acre pays 500. 100 acres would
pay $4,000. Men seldom make such
money out of vary large orchards, and
while a source of envy to small holders
they are often. in fact, just holding on
or are running ahead on borrowed CAPT
tai. The men who make money and are
getting rich out of horticultural pursuits
are those who do not attempt more than
they can look after personally. From
ten to eighty acres are the sized tracts
which pay the highest per cent. of profit,
if they are properly conducted. The
idea that living cannot be made out of
small place has retarded many from GO
ing into business in which they might
now be making an independent living

tIa6ad platform Cga be fastened to.
getbet and held in place. The far
mers ought to know that resolutions
passed by political conventions raise
neither corn nor wheat, neither can
they affect prices. ! do not believe
that the government can make
money by law any more than it can
uake good crops by law. The gov
eminent can't support thr people.
The people have got to support the
government. The government is
perpetual pauper. | ask this one
question: the government can make
money why should it collect taxes?
Why not make what it needs and
stop bothering the people? Still l am
glad the farmers are discussing these
questions. They will find out what
the government can and cannot do"
Why couldn't Col. Inge,soll have
stopped talking when he had told OF
the troubles, trials and tribu ations
of the farmers? What need was there
for him to ask that question, viz; "If
the government can make money why
should it collect taxes? Why not
make what it needs and stop bother
ing the people," And yet the recent
ly Organized Peoples party seems to
think that the government can make
money in unlimited quantities. In
the resolutions it adopted at Cincina
natl it asserted that the government
had such right, and insisted that it
should make money and loan it to
whoever wanted it at 2 per cent. per
annum.
1t is true the farmers have pref
ty hard time to make the farms pro
fitahle, but it is equally true that an
unlimited issue of greenbacks would
not benefit them in the long run, and
those who tell them otherwise are
either mistaken or intend to mislead
them. - Savannah News.

The scorpion is bad bedfellow, anI
he has mean trick Of hiding in your
boots and singing you when you put
them on. But you can have fun with
him after fashion. If you want t.
bring oat the best qualities of a scorpion
build little corral of dry leaves OF
paper around him and set fire to it a;
all points, Make the circle about foot
IN diameter, so that the flames will not
touch your prisoner. When he sees the
ring of fire the scorpion will try to es.
cape, first at one place and then at an
other, but the flames will drive him
back every time, and when he realizes
that he is completely surrounded he will
retreat to the center of the ring and de
hberateiy commit suicide by curling his
tail over and singing himself in the
back. So you see that nature sanctions
suicide under some circumstances in
spite of what the preachers say about it.

Two Singular showers.

On Saturday, Nov. II, 1882, there was
a shower Of peculiar shaped seeds over
an area of several square miles in the
vicinity of Statesburg, S. c. The shower
began about 11:30 a. m, and was noted
for twelve miles in one direction and
about seven and half in the other. In
the center Of the district over which they
fell the ground was almost covered, the
noise made by them as they fell on the
leaves much resembling that made by
fine sleet When examined under the
microscope these seed, like granules. ao-
peared wholly di fferent from any seesis
known to botanists Of that part Of South
Carolina.
In the following month. December,
1882, Huntington, Ind, and vicinity was
treated to shower Of strange worms.
They were only about the fourth Of az
inch in length and about the diameter q
a small sewing needle. In some places
they fell in such abundance as TO cover
the snow and ice to the depth Of nearly
half an inch.-St Louis Republic

Even the preachers are not averse to a
joke that lies in the line Of the prufes-
sional funny man. One of them told
the following in an east side church
lately when he was invited to speak: A
traveller discovered a man lying on the
ground one warm day within foot or
two of the shade of tree. "Why don't
you lie in the shadeY' he inquired. Il
did, p" replied the man, but it has moved
away from me and can't afford to fol-
low it," well, if you are not the best
specimen of lazy man l have seen yet.
Make me another remark on par with
that and I'll give you a quarter" The
man said, Put the quarter into my
pocket" He got it.-Buffalo Express.

Michael Angelo, at time when Italy
paid so much attention to ancient art
that modern had no chance of being
judged fairly, had, it is said, resort to a
stratagem TO teach the critics the fallacy
of shaping their judgments by fashion
or reputation. He sculptured a statue
representing a sleeping beauty and break
ing off an arm buried it in a place where
excavations were being made. 1t was
soon found and Landed by critics and
the public as a valuable relic of antiqui-
ty, far superior to anything done for
centuries. When Angelo thought it
had gone far enough he produced the
broken arm, and, to the great morifca-
ton of the critics, revealed himself as
the sculptor. New York Ledger.
