land in Nebraska, where he proposes to
establish a settlement, the houses of
which are in groups. with the farms sur
rounding the collection of houses. As
an inducement for Americans to try
this form Of farm life he offers to build
home for every farmer who is willing
to make the experiment. This home
will be rented for a nominal sum, one.

est flrmer can pay, and if at the end of
the lease the tenant has proved himself
to be the right kind of person, he will
have the privilege of buying the prop
erty at low sum of money.

BOotblackIng As An Art.

On II street corner on the upper part
of Sixth avenue is a bootblack stand
presided over by n middle-aged darkey
named Joe. whose odd ways have Sc
cured for him IA number of lucrative
customers, says the New York Tele-
gram. He firmly believes that shoe
polishing has high rank among the
arts and sciences, and regrets that
among the hundreds of bootbacks to
be found in the city, so few attain the
skill and knowledge OF the business,
which, with due modesty. he claims to
possess 1t is amusing to watch him
in his efforts TO impress new custom
er with the importance of his profess
sion and the profundity Of his knowl-
edge and experience in it.
Joe first rubs the shoes of the GUS
toner for several minutes with his
hand in solemn way, occasionally
stopping TO examine them closely with
a critical eye. This naturally excites
the curiosity OF the owner OF the shoes,
and then Joe explains in a confidential
tone that in order to give perfect
polish the quality and condition of the
leather must be thoroughly known.
He then pulls out from the under part
of the stand large drawer filed with
dozens of brushes. from among which
he carefully selects one. AS he passes
his hand over the face of the brush the
conceited old bootblack chances at the
shoes of the customer, as though de-
termining whether that particular
brush is best suited to the grain OF the
leather to be operated upon. A SINH
lar performance is gone through with
in choosing the backing to be used on
the occasion. Joe then goes TO work
and polishes the shoes in question
with many mysterious flourish and
cabalistic curve. When he finishes it
is worth the price to see his evident
admiration OF his own handiwork.
