Drinking an Improved Fam.

My homeless friend with the chrom-
attic nose, while you are stirring up the
sugar in ten cent glass of gin let me
give you fact to wash down with it..
You say you have longed for years for
the free, independent life of the farmer,
but have never been able to get enough
money together to buy farm. But
this is just where you are mistaken.
For several years you have been drink
ing good improved farm at the rate of
100 square feet at a gulp If you doubt
this statement figure it out for Yourself.
An acre of land contains 43 $50 square
feet. Estimating for convenience the
land at S43 Sc per acre, you will see that
it brings the land to just one mill per
square foot, one cent for ten square feet.
Now pour down the fiery dose and
imagine you are swallowing straw berry
patcn. Call in five of your friends and
have them help you gulp down the 500
TO 1t garden. Get on prolonged spree
some day, and see how long time it re-
quires to swallow pasture large enough
to feed COW. Put down that glass of
gin; there's dirt in it-100 feet of good,
rich dirt, worth $43.56 per acre.-Bur-
dette.

The Result of Fifty five Years. Experience.
From N. f. Farmer.

A farmer, over 20 years of age, who
has had 30 years experience in Guilt
waiting the rugged soil of Dandy, VT,
writes to the Farmer and Homes, saying
he wishes to speak an encouraging word
to the farmers of his county. The won
derful production of the good soils of
the west has somewhat crippl the
prices of our farms in the east, but hi,
believes that if we remain steadfasr and
determined, we can, by perseverance. and
economy, make our fields profitable. We
must study to have our methods an i'm
provement over the slovenly ways of the
west. Let us also encourage our children
to stay with us, and let us make
our homes pleasant and agreeable
for them. 81 would recomm, nd he
says, "that farmers who hold hundreds
of acres of worn land, should cultivate
only such as is near their houses. enrich
Ing and making them more productive,
and let the back pastures and run out
fields serve for cattle and sheep to roam
over. This will be more profitable than
spreading small amount of m azure over
so much land that it will avail nothing

A Big Octopus.

The Olympia Tribune says the
officers and crews of the steamers ply
ing between Tacoma and Olympia are
on the lookout for an immense octopus
or devil fish which is reported to exist
in the waters between the mouth of the
Nesqueily river and Henderson's inlet.
The monster has been seen at various
times for a week past, aud steps are
being quietly taken to capture it,
When last seen it was lying on the
water, vigorously splashing one OF its
thousand tails, and it looked to weigh
at least 800 pounds. 1t measures from
tip to tip. as nearly as can be esti-
mated fully fifty feet Its popularity
is sort of deafening roar, which it
makes in quick succession.

more than the $4,000 per annum
which the shah gives as dowry The
shah, too, is more apt to take anything
from son-in-law than from stranger
or person not related to him, aud
another drawback is that the husband
of a shah's daughter loses more or less
Of his liberty, cannot take other wives
and must do as his wife pleases. The
only one, perhaps, of the shahs sons
in-law who has kept his liberty is the
chief priest of Teheran. He is able to
bring religion to bear on the subject;
can possibly justify anything he does
by the Koran and traditions, and has
the clergy with their enormous infiu-
ence to back him up.

THE DOWRY IN FRANCE.
How the Young Lady's Pride is Humble,
Who AIarries a Rich Husband.

How the Young Iady's Pride is Hrrnbled
Who Marries a Rich Husband.
The question of money in the dowry
is the tender spot in all French mar
riages A poor girl who goes into a
rich family Of the middle class of
society has to climb veritable Calvary
before She can be united to the man She
loves. All the circumstances connected
with the wedding presents, with the
furniture which her fance buys, all the
matters connected with her trousseau
and with the contract which estab-
fishes her share Of the property in the
future, are SO many humiliating OBJ
stacles which distress her to the heart
and inhict upon her pride wounds that
viii never cease to bleed To what
length do these well-known defects and
intrigues extend And how many
young girls go sorrowfully to marriage
with the feeling-the certaintv-that
they are being married for their dow
ries. There is no class Of French society
from the peasant to the nobleman,
where the same spirit OF covetousness
and the same scenes do not reappear
proportionately altered only by the
different systems for the settlement of
the brides personal property-that is,
her dowry. Equal marriages or equal
conditions Of marriage among the peas
ants, or the middle class, or the aristoc-
racy, are called marriages de conve-
nance; and they are generally the hap
piest; not because they bring the blessed
joys of choice and love with them, but
because owing To the fact that the
prejudices of French families in the
matter of dowry are not in that case
shocked or forced to make concessions
or sacrifices, the life of the young peo-
pie flows on less disturbed by rcproaches
less tor@nented, and therefore happier.

THERE is NOTHING NEW.

ALEXANDER the Great had a copy Of
the 'Iliad" inclOsed in a nutshell, and
it IS quite certain that II could not have
been written without the aid Of a mi
croscope.
IL all that pertains TO sculpture and
painting the ancients knew so much
that their superiority has never been
questioned aud their work remains as
unsurpassed models.
ALL the mechanical powers, the screw,
lever, pulley, incline plane, wedge,
wheel and axle, were known to the
ancients and used in everyday life
They were expert builders, as existing
relics testify.
IN our schools at the present day we
use ''Euclid's Elements of Geometry. -
written by Euclid two thousand two
hundred years ago. Euclid also wrote
on music and optics, antedating much
which we think we discovered.
THE people Of Tyre were such experts
in dyeing that the Tyrian purple re-
mains unexcelled to this day. The
Egyptians were also wonderful Overs
and could produce colors so durable
that they may be called imperishable.
THE ancients were wonderful glass
workers and discovered a method of
making it malleable, which we have
not been able to do They could spin
glass into garments, dye it into every
shade Of the rainbow, and etch it with
marvellous skill.
TWENTY centuries before the birth of
Watt, Hero of Alexandria described
machines whose motive power was
steam. He also invented double force
pump, used as fire engine, and antici-
pated the modern turbine wheel by a
machine he named 'Neolpile.'
LAYARD found in the ruins of Nineveh
what Sir David Brewster pronounced
to be 'magnifying glass;" and nearly
four thousand years ago the Egyptians
and Assyrians observed the stars
through sliding tube" which we
have reason to believe was a telescope.
IN medical skill the Oriental physi-
clans of India practiced vaccination
1000 years ago. An9sthetics were
known in the days of Homer, and the
Chinese 1900 years ago had prepare
ton of hemp, known as una yo," to
deaden pain-something similar to the
modern cocaine
