MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES.

The American farmer must be a
prompt man. He must do work at the
right time and do it well, and have done
with it. Our prevailing winds come
over dry continent and are hungry for
moisture, while the winds of Ireland,
England and Western Europe pass over
the Atlantic Ocean, warmed by the
Gulf Stream, and are loaded with moist
ure. Here our roads are muddy to-day
and dusty tomorrow, and some people
g1umble and cali it a disagreeable eli
mate to live in. Nothing of the sort. 1t
is the best climate in the world for road
making. But we must not let the roads
get muddy. We must drain them. And
in making hay our climate is the best,
or worst in the world. Like fire, it is
a good servant, but bad master. We
have seen grass in England that had
been cut three weeks, and repeatedly
turned. that was not wilted more than
grass that had been cut here for three
hours. And it did not seem TO be in
jured very seriously. In our climate a
few days OF such posure would make

Lowell as a Poet.

AS poet, whatever comparisons may
be made with his predecessors or con-
temporaries, at home or abroad, what
ever just criticisms may be recorded, we
believe it will be found at the end that a
large part of Lowells verse has passed
into literature, there to remain. The
originality, vitality, intensity and beauty
of the best of it are self evident. AL
though true, spontaneous poet, his life
had other strong interests and engross-
ing occupations, and the volume of his
verse does not equal that of others
whose careers have extended beside his
own; his impression as poet upon his
time has not equaled that of others.
1t may, indeed, be said that if as
strongly poetic in nature as they, he
would have been dominated as exclu-
sively as were they by the poetic mood.
However this may be, the quality of his
genius, as shown in his best work, was,
we believe, quite as fine as that of any
poet writing English in his day. No
one can read his last volume OF verse
without being impressed anew by the
vigor, variety and spontaneous charac-
ter of Lowell's poetic gift. Even his
literary faults are of such nature as to
testify to the keenness of his thought
and the abundance Of his intellectual
equipment.-Century.

We Are Not a n1ilitary People.


We Americans are not a military peo-
pie. In view of our having carved our
way into the wilderness with sword as
well as with ak, of our having won our
independence by arms, of our having
come with abundant credit out of all
our wars, of having carried through one
of the most gigantic struggles of modern
days, in which were fought battles al
most unequaled in tenacity, this may
appear to be an unwarranted statement.
But it is true. 1t requires more than
courage, more than ability to raise, to
equip, to ration, to move and to COM
mand armies to make a military people.
The most splendid conduct in war for
an all absorbing cause does not suffice.
Having many of the essential qualities,
we yet fall short of what the Romans
were, the Germans are. Some sections
of the country approach nearer to the
military standard; but taken as whole
our lack of interest in army and navy,
our thoroughly unbusinesslike way of
handling our national problems of attack
and defense, stamp us as the least mill
tary in our instincts of all the great peo-

How to Make Money.

A man who is wise, careful and con
servative, energetic, persevering and
tireless, need have no fear of his future.
But there is one other thing. He must
have steady head, one that can weather
the rough sea of reverses from which no
life is altogether free, and one that will
not become too big when successes at
tends his efforts. Keep out of the way
of spectators. Take your money,
whether it be much or little, to one
whose reputation will insure you good
counsel. Invest your money where the
principal is safe and you will get along.
But don't forget the acorns. It is from
little acorns that great oaks grow. See
that you begin Alright early in life. Save
your money with regularity. By so do
ing, you will more than save your
money; you will make money.-Henry

She Had Improved.

The Princess Charlotte, daughter of
George ", was young woman of great
spirit and originality. One day one of
her teachers chanced to enter the room
when the princess was reviling one of
her attendant ladies, in great wrath, and,
after giving her lectur, on hasty
speech, he presented her with book on
the subject. A few days later he found
her still more furious and using Lam
guage even more violent. II am sorry
to find your royal highness in such a
passion" said he; ''your royal highness
has not read the book gave you." 81

clever Aretropolitan Beggars.

Between 6 and 10 o'clock in the even
ing it is impossible to walk half block
anywhere on Broadway between Union
square and Thirty-third street without
being stopped by pitiful appeal for
aims. The less deserving the applicant
the more pitiful the appeal. An old but
still favorite trick with the professional
beggars is to bind up an arm or a leg
and pretend to be crippled. Some of
them are extremely clever in making up
and careful examination would be
necessary to detect the deception.-New

some notable Warars.

OF single bets made on American
horse races the following instances are
taken from the records: Haughton bet
Walton $4,000 to 81 900 against Girofe.
Haughton bet Kelly $4,000 to s., 900
against Henlopen. Appleby g john
SON bet P. Lorillard 81 900 to SIC, 200
against Pizaro, and $25. 900 to 81, 900
against Leo in the same race In each
of these cases it is probable that the
owners risked ten times these amounts
on each of the races, as the bets above
stated were only made with one book
maker.-W. B. CQrtiss in Forum.

The Professional Inventor.

The professional inventor has a Pc
culiar calling. His stock in trade is his
brains, and no one can map out his work
for him. He must study the needs of
mankind, and try to anticipate their
wants. To the outsider it would seem
that all the patents and inventions need
ed were made, and that there was no
longer any need of professional in
ventors. But so long as machinery is
used there will be some improvements
possible, and every new invention opens
up field for a dozen more.-George
z. Walsh in New York Epoch.

swallows and crows.

Among the courageous small birds may
be counted the family of swallows. The
writer has often seen barn swallows fiy
downward and peck at the cat and dog.
and more than once sharp twitter, a
whir of wings anS peck on the hat has
relnSrded her, WREN standing in the barn
door, that sne was intruding on swal-
lows precincts
About a half mile from the house is
high bank which is the home of colony
OF bank swallows The earth for some
distance is thickly perforated with the
/ roundish holes leading into their nests.
Not far from this bank a quantity Of
corn was one day scattered by accident
upon the ground. The crows Were quick
to discover what had happened, and
swooped down and began to devour the
windfall.
Some of the swallows spied them at
once and gave the alarm chanced to
be sitting beneath tree in full view of
the scene. In less than a minute after
the crows had settled to feeding, more
than hundred of the bank swallows
had darted from their holes, and with
angry twitters fell upon the intruders.
The attack was complete surprise to
the big black fellows, and as if realizing
the futility of trying to cope with their
small assailants, they rose from the
ground in body and took fight.
The swallows pursued them, darting,
diving, striking at them above, below and
from both sides. The crows were routed
completely, and took refuge in dense
piece of woods quarter of mile away.
Then the triumphant swallows turned
about and sailed homeward, uttering
many chirps and twitters of satisfaction
as they flew.
For the hour or more that remained
in the field not crow was to be seen
near the corn. The swallows were mas
ters of the field.-Cor. Youths Compan-

It Is Rather Slow Work Now Because
the Animals Are So Cautious.

It Is Rather Slow Work Now Because
the Animals Are So Cautious.
Bear hunting, as rule, do not think
would appeal to most sportsmen. 1t is
rather slow work, and one is often very
inadequately rewarded for the amount
of time and trouble spent in hunting up
bruin. There is hardly portion of the
mountains where there are not evidences
of bear, but do not believe that in any
locality they are especially abundant.
They have been hunted and trapped SO
long that those who survive are extreme
ly cautious. In my experience there is
no animal gifted with a greater amount
of intelligence, and, in this region, the
hunters chief virtue, patience to wait
and stay in one spot, is sure to be re-
warded sooner or later with good shot.
Let me say now that the danger and
ferocity of the bear is, think, very much
overstated, yet there is just enough ele-
ment of danger to make the pursuit of
this animal exciting. Naturalists do not
now apparently recognize more than two
varieties of bear in the Rocky mountains
That is. they class the cinnamon, silver
tip and grizzly, as grizzly bear. The
other variety, of course, is the black
bear. 1 am by no means sure that the
grizzly bear will not be further subdi-
vided after careful comparisons of col
lections of skulls.
Much has been said and written about
the size and weight of the grizzly bear,
and in most instances this has been mere
guess work. Lewis and Clark made fire.
quent mention of this animal and yet
their estimate of the weight falls far
below that of other writers. Only few
instances have come to my knowledge
where the weight has been ascertained
absolutely.
A good sized grizzly killed in Yellow
stone park by Wilson, the government
scout. weighed 600 pounds. Colonel
Pickett, who las a neighboring ranch to
mine and who has killed more bear than
any man know of, weighed his largest,
which, if remember rightly, weighed
800 pounds. Rogers in Scrib-

The impression when hunting paddy
melons is of shooting at ghosts, what
with the dim, mysterious light of the
"bush, and the strange appearance and
swift movement of the game. Paddymel-

less for food, except so far as their tails
are concerned, which, being largely of
glutinous texture, furnish material for

How Parchment Came to Be Used.

When the literary jealousy of the
Egyptians caused them to stop the sup
ply of papyrus the king of Pergamos, a
city in Asia Minor, introduced the use
of sheepskin in a form called from the
place of its invention, pergamona,
whence our word parchment is be-
ieved to be derived. Vellum, a finer
article made from calfskin, was also
used. Many of the books done on vel
lum in the Middle Ages were transcribed
by monks, and often it took years TO
complete single copy.-C. A. Lynde in
