FARMING IN SWITZERLAND.

How the Peasants Live and Work
IA Swiss Farming Village" is the subject
of an article by Sophia Kirk in the January
Atlantic. She writes:
The beautiful autumn weather will have
US all day out Of doors. Early in the after
noon the Jungtrau puts on its croic federGLe,
the shadows of deep hollow in its breast
and of an opposite mountain meeting in
perfect cross. dark upon the brilliant snow.
The sun his shifted to the westward of the
high plateau, round which he seems to
make a special revolution as round a little
world, and the shadow lengthens in the
Following grass. As the afternoon adj
vances, a sort of tan spreads over the land
scape. The woods glow with crimson and
golden hues which blend in a rich auburn
they are less audacious in color than our
New England woods, but more harmonious
Little feathers Of smoke curl upward here
and there from the fields where they are
burning the potato vines, and a larger
smoke plume ascends from an unroofed
oven or stone, over which some women are
drying hemp, while others are beating it
with a rapid, cheerful noise, which comes
pleasantly to our ears across the fields At
dusk these women go home looking like
corn shocks set in motion, with the hemp
hanging in stiff, dun drapery from their
broad shoulders. On all sides are pictures,
which seem 10 come fresh from the hand of
Breton or Millet; for that poetry which is
everywhere in the contact Of soil and effort
enfolds even our prosperous Zimmerwald
peasantry, who, little as they know it, are
already on canvas painted at Barbizon aud
in the Pas-de-Calais. In the green of the
meadows-a soft, indefinite green, which
takes on beautiful tones at dusk-a slim
girl, with skirts looped about her waist,
is moving, following in the wake OF two
stalwart men, laying the swaths quickly
and evenly before her; then pausing,
a sculpturesque figure in the gathering
gloom, to whet her scythe. The hay
making was over long ago. These thick,
soft swaths are for ensilage, to keep their
sweetness all winter in underground fur
rows. Further on, between the earth
twilight and the sunset sky, a man aud
woman are hoeing potatoes with their
heavy, deep bladed pioches, dusky silhou-
cites in motion against the opal light; Civ
ing their whole strength and care to a
struggle with the difficult, dark element
below, while bathed unconsciously in the
peace and radiance above. There is no
Angelus to check their labors, for we are
in a Protestant country, and they go on
without pause into the deepening Of the
evening.

Mrs Bradford Defds the Character
of Her Hntteinment.
There seems to DO soubt IN the minds of
some church people ago the character of

at the theater to-nigh
Mrs. E. K. Bf{ord, the compiler

night that he undenod that some Of the
clergy has question its character, and
that DR.. Dripps of ! Independent Pres
bYterian Church hd alluded to it as an
improper entertainnt.
THE entertainment Mrs. Bradford said,
docs not partake, inc slightest degree, of
the nature Of the 'Bsion Play of Ober-
Ammergau. There no representation Of
Christ attempted, al nothing connected
with it which couldlock the sensibilities
of the most devout flower of our Savior.

these facts because l par that some have
objected to the tableak onccount of these

The irst production of 'BeHur' was made
in church, and it hs bq given several
times in churches and thaIs, but the work
entailed thereby was % gAt that deter

RAIL, AND oRossTIE.

The Netgs and Courier says the rumor
that the Wilson'S and Summerton railroad
was to be bought By tho Atlantic Coast
Line can neither be verified nor denied in
Charleston. The road is about eighteen
miles long and runs from Wilson's, on the
Central railroad, TO Summertol, in Claren-
don county. The road runs through fine
section of Clarendon county, and would be
a desirable purchase for the Coast Line.
There seems to be an inclination among
railroad men to reduce the rate on excess
baggage. The initial step among southern
roads was taken by the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia road. Heretofore
that road has been charging for excess bag
gage a minimum rete of IS cents per 100
pounds for all distances up to sixty miles
Thus travelling man making ''short jumps"
In working the small towns ard stations
on the rnad-was liable to make six or eight
stops inside Of sixty miles of distance, and
therefore his excess baggage cost him six or
eight times as much as Il he jumped through
the sixty miles. The new rate is: Twenty
miles and under, l5 cents; thirty miles and
over twenty, 20 cents; sixty miles and over
thirty, IS cents.

BUT THREE NOW LIVING.
"Reminiscences of Congress Half a
Century s go.


From the Washington Star Dec. 81.
A few days ago l had occasion to pene-
trate into the vaultlike passages behind the
gallery of the old half of the House Of Req
resentatives, and, gazing around me, as
had done so often in the days gone by, from
that ''coigne of vantage" the ghosts Of the
past came up before me from the time when
John White of Kentucky was speaker. OF
all the able debatsrs of that period whose
eloquence resounded through those vaulted
passages nearly all have paid the debt Of
nature. l cannot recall as living any Of
them but the Hons. George w. Jones of
Iowa and Hannibal Hamlin of n aine,
and the Hon. Hamilton Fish
of New York. Mr.. Jones entered
of Michigan in 1884, and some years later he
was elected senator from Iowa. Mr.. Jones
was for many years a conspicuous figure in
the social life of Washington. He was one
of the most gallant men then in society and
universal favorite. He still lives, and
was so devoted to those friends of the past
that he Travelled from his northwestern
home TO attend the funeral at New Orleans
of Jefferson Davis, with whom he had
served in both houses of congress- Mr.
Jones was the second Of Cilley in the duel
with Graves, in which Cilley was killed,
and while in public life was marked by his
devotion to his state and to the political
party he represented in congress.
Mr.. Hamlin occupied a seat in the House
of Representatives as early as 1S42-'43, and
while there was q democrat of the most
ultra stripe. The Hon. Hamilton Fish
came to congress in 1910, and at an ad-
vanced age and with the accumulated hon
ors he has enjoyed still lives. Those are all
l can recall as living whose services, as COM
pared with those who came in succession
after John White, up to 1S50-'53, are almost
modern, and yet there are but three survi-
vors-Mr. Robert G. W Winthrop, Gen. Banks
and Mr.. Grow of Pennsylvania.
The Senate of that day, Of which Mr..
Jones of Iowa and Mr.. Hamlin and Mr..
Bradbury Of Maine alone survive among us,
contained the most distinguished men this
country has produced-Messrs. Clay, CAL
houn, Preston, Silas Wright of New York,
Gen. Cass, Daniel S. Dickerson, Sam Hous-
ton, James NJ. Mason, and others, who have
long since paid debt of nature, leaving
only those three living members of period
celebrated in history.

vauced age of seventy-six years. The

children, nine grandchildren, and four
great grandchildren. One of her grand
children is the wife of Mr.. James NJ. Bennett

Mrs. Stratton was of strong poetical and
antiquarian tendencies Her writings were
distinguished for their sparkle, vigor and
clearness. SO great an authority as DIR.
James Woodrow has spoken highly Of her
poems They will shortly be published in
book form and will comprise two volumes.

poetical composition by Mrs. Stratton, and is

a PHYSICIAN OF No SCHOOL.
A Doctor Who Only Wanted Some
Drops"
From the December centuru.


From the December Ceafury.
have said that there was no regular
physician in California. Later, in 1913, in
a company that came from Oregon, was
Joe Meeks, noted character in the Rocky
Mountains. On the way he said: boys,
when / get down to California among the
Greasers am going to palm mysef of as a
DOCTOR and from that time they dubbed
him DIR. Meeks, He could neither read nor
write. As soon as the Californians heard
gan 20 come TO him with their diff
ferent ailments. His first professional SER
vice was to boy who had q toe GU OF.
Meeks, happening to be near, stuck the toe
on, binding it in poultice of mud, and it
grew on again. The new governor, Michel
torsna, employed him as surgeon. Meeks
had a way of looking and acting very wise,
and of being reticent when people talked
about things which he did not understand.
One day he went into little shop kept by
a man known as DIR. Stokes, who had been
a kind of hospital steward on board ship,
and who had brought ashore one Of those
little medicine chests that were usually
taken to sea, with apothecary scales, and a
pamphlet giving short synopsis Of diseases
and table of weights and medicines, SO
that almost anybody could administer relief
W olCh sh1OfS- AloCAS Neub W tlO
Doctor, l want you TO put me up some
powders" So Stokes went behind his table
and got out his scales and medicines, aud
asked, "What kind of powdersp "Just
common powders-patient not very sick. ~
"If you will tell me what kind of powders,
DR.. Meeks-" 10, just common powders. -
That is all he would say. DR.. Stokes told
about town that Meeks knew nothing about
medicine, but people thought that
perhaps Meeks had given the prescription
in Latin and that DIR. Stokes could
not read it. But Meeks reign was to have
an end An American man-of-war came
into the harbor. Thomas o. Larkin was
then the U uited States consul at Monterey.
and the commander and all his officers
went up to Larkin's store, among them the
surgeon, who was introduced to Mr.. Meeks.
Tbs conversation turning upon the diseases
incident to the country, meeks became
reticent, saying merely that he was going
out of practice and intended to leave the
country, because he could not get medi-
cines The surgeon expressed much sympathy
and said, "Dr. Meeks, if you will make
me out list | will very cheerfully divide
with you such medicine as l can spare. y
Meeks did not Know the names of three
kinds Of medicine, and tried evasion, bur
the surgeon cornered him, and put the ques-
ton SO direct that he had to answer. He
asked him " hat medicine he needed most
Finally MeekS said he wanted some ''draps, y
and that was all that could be got out OF
him. When the story came out his career
as doctor was at an end, and he soon after
left the country.

AN OLD SUPERSTITION
Do Clocks Stop When People Die, or

People Die When clocks Stop
From the PittsbWr9 Times
The sentimental and superstitious who are
given to tracing the laws of condolences
will 6nd an interesting subject for their at
tention in the recent death of a jeweler in
Bucyrus, o. For many years it has been
the Office of skilful German Waterman,
named Frank Kehrer, to attehd 70 the town
clock. During the past 6few months the
health of Mr.. Kehrer fins been poor and the
clock, deprived of his careful attention, has
been keeping Indifferent tins. One Mon
day morning recently the timepiece struck
5, and few moments later it stopped.
Early risers who heard the chime affirm
that there wes something indescribably
weird and peculiar about it. Later risers
noticing the clock hands pointing to sos
commented upon the subject and its aged
guardian. Later in the day the news spread
that Mr.. Kehrer's condition had suddenly
become worse and that he had died at sos
that morning
When the late State Senator B. J. Smith
of Hancock county. West Virginia, passed
away, his family looked at his watch to see
the time. The hands pointed to 1902
o'clock. When s. @. Smith, son Of the late
senator, began housekeeping in Wheeling
his father gave him family clock which he
had always attended to himself. After the
funeral MIR. Smith returned to Wheeling.
As soon as he saw the clock Mr.. Smith
turned to his mether and sister asd asked
them IL anything in the room had attracted
their attention. 'The clock, I" said the sister,
and the mother nodded assent. The clock
had stopped at 1902.
