FARMERS REVOLUTIONS

! 1t is hard to believe that the
quiet, long suffering and conserva-
tive farmers are revolutionary in
their ideas and methods.
They submit to a good deal of
oppression and plundering, but it is
dangerous to crowd them to the
wall.
In at least two modern revolution
airy movements the farmers took
the lead and came out on top.
In England, in 1881, the farmers
and the masses generally had scarce
ly any rights that were respected
by the governing classes. The
story is too long to tell in detail,
but something like Farmers
Alliance was organized, with Wat
Tyler at the head. The movement
spread to the towns and cities and
the people were soon banded to-
gether to resist un just taxation and
oppressive laws. The countrymen
with their town allies got together
a compact body and swept, over
the land like prairie fire. From
county to county and from town
to town they pushed their rapid
march until they reached London,
where, after losing their leader in
a skirmish, they dispersed when the
king had made them certain prom
Uses.
The government succeeded in
Furnishing many of the ringleaders,
but the solid fruits of victory rest
ed with the revolutionists. From
that time for about a century
English farmers and workingmen
had the use of as much land as
they could cultivate, and were free
to combine together for self-prO-
lection. That period was the gold
en- age of England. Then there
was no poverty. All were fed, well
clothed and well paid. After that,
in the sixteenth century, the mono
golists or privileged classes forcibly
gained control, and the cOncentra-
ton of wealth in the hands of the
few plunged the many into poverty,
Another farmers revolution was
the one IN France in the latter part
OF the eighteenth century. The
French cOuntrymen were as much
oppressed as their English brethren
We're III the fourteenth century.
They organized local societies, and
IN the course of a bloody carnival
of several years duration brought
their king and queen and thousands
of their .oppressors to the guillotine.
Generations of suffering made them
unreasonably violent, and they
gave France what is known in his
tory as the Reign of Terror"
Yet this revolution was a great
triumph for democracy. 1t greatly
modified monarchical rule in Eu-
rope, and paved the way for the
present French republic, under
which the farmers are the most
prosperous people on the face of
the earth.
These two revolutions were essen
TALLY farmers movements. There
is much in them that will shock the
readers of to-day, but it should be
remembered that in those days the
people did not have the ballot to
right their wrongs, and they had to
resort to force. In both England
and France these popular upheavals
resulted in substantial victories for
the farmers.
The uprising in this county at
the present time of the agricultural
population recalls the historic
events which We have briefly out
llned. Like the tillers of the soil in

Frosted GLASS.

The frosty appearance of glass which
we often use when it is desirable to keep
out the sun or for q protection against
inquisitive eyes, is brought about by
using a paint composed as follows:
Sugar of lead, well ground in oil, ap-
piled as other paint, then pounded while
fresh with a wad Of batting, held be-
tween the thumb and finger, after which
it is allowed to partiallydry. Then with
a straight edge laid upon the sash you
run along by the side of it with a stick
sharpened to the width of the line you
wish to appear between the diamonds,
figures or squares into which you choose
to lay it off.-Detroit Free Press.

THE MERRY BRITISH BEGGAR.

brave the day, / brave the night,
l throw my sorrows to the wind,
And try to keep a cheerful mind,
Although my coat is thin and light,
Although my hat
Is wondered at,
Because I shaved the outer rim
To try and keep it smooth and trim.
I laugh and sing and whistle, too,
When l have wind enough to spare.
But in the sharp and frosty air
My fingers freeze,
And my poor knees
Would knock together did they dare;
But still | keep a jaunty air.
When bread is scarce and shelter poor

Il only want a meal a day" :
And if they turn me from the door
tramp for weeks,
And dodge the beaks,
And with no money for a bed
try an archway or a shed.
| brave the day, / brave the night,
throw my sorrOws to the wind,
IT'S wise to keep cheerful mind
And screw your courage for the fight.
And so, kind sir,
In case you err,
With over pity worse than none,
Just hand q copper and have done.

Chinese Points for Hosts.

Don't eat with your ears" says Yuan
Mel, a Chinese writer, "by which lmean
do not aim at having extraordinary out
OF the way foods, just to astonish your
guests. For that is to eat with your
ears, not with your mouth. Bean curd,
if good, is actually nicer than birds
nest. And better thar sea slugs, which
are not first rate, is a dish Of bamboo
shoots.
"The chicken, the pig, the fish and the
duck, these are the four heroes Of the
table. Sea slugs and birds nest have
no characteristic fiavOrs of their own.
They are but trsurpers in the house. |
once dined with a friend who gave US
birds nests in bowls like watts, holding
each about fOur ounces of the plain
boiled article. The other guests ap-
plauded vigorously, but | smiled and
said, | came here to eat birds nest, not
to take delivery Of it Wholesale

How to Acquire IA Foreign Vocabulary.
Perhaps one of the best ways of fixing
the words and idioms Of a language in
ones mind is to teach them to somebody
else. The learner should try to impart
to some member of his family what he
has already mastered. He should, above
all, seek command first of words in IA
miliar use, leaving to q later stage of
his progress the forms Of literary express
sions; his first business is with the COM
mon objects of daily life, his last bust
ness is with general terms. AS he sits at
his desk he ought to be able to name
every article about him, just as when he
is riding III the street car or on the rail
way he should be able to mentally recall
the equivalent for every detail in the
moving panorama of objects.-Boston
Herald.
