.Adopting an Abandoned Farm. :,

'AdOpung an Abandoned Farm
a bright and energetic woman has solved
the problem Of what to do with the aban-
doned farms Of New England. Miss Kate
sanborn is the woman, and the solution of
the problem which has given Yankee econo-
mists SO much anxious thought is revealed in
Adopting an Abandoned Farm" dainty
summer volumn just issued by the Appletons.
1t does not appear that Miss Sanborn made
money by cultivating the abandoned farm she
rented at $40 year. On the contrary, she
seems to have lost money in all her expert
ments in horse-trading, duck and chicken
raising, and peafowl culture. The flock of
ducks which she purchased with a view to
selling their eggs at splendid profit, stub
bornly refused to lay. On investigation, how
ever, Miss Sanborn found the ducks had q
good excuse for their failure to give return
in eggs for the food which they consumed in
immense quantities. Miss Sanborn'e ducks
were nearly all brakes. The chickens were
killed by the dog, and the youthful peafowl fell
victim to too much coddling. Still Miss San
born had an immensely interesting experience
in adopting that abandoned farm; and while,
as before stated, she lost money on it, she will
through the sales of this book in which she
tells with delightful drollery and breeziness
the story OF her daring experiment. The San
born plan of turning the abandoned farms Of
New England to account, therefore, may be
summarized as follows: First adopt your
abandoned farm and then write book about
your experiences which everyone will want to
read. Miss Sanborn's clever work is for sale
at Brentano's.

THE ANT AS A SURGEON.

indians OF Brazil Use the Little Insect to-
Sew Up Their Wounds.
Boston Courier.
The grip OF the ants jaw is retained even
after the body has been bitten off and nothing
but the head remains. This knowledge is
possessed by certain tribe of Indians in Bra
I'll, who put the ants to very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets cash cut in his hand.
instead OF having his hand sewn together, as
physicians do in this country, he procures Ave,
or six large black ants, and, holding their
heads head near the cash, they, bring their jaws to-
gether In biting the flesh, and thus pull the,
two sides of the cash together.
Then the Indian pinches Off the bodies of
the ants and leaves the heads clinging to the
flesh, which is held together until the cash is
perfectly healed.

PLAToNIC FRIENDSHIP.
1t Exists Until the Man Tells a Love Story
of His Own


of His Own
Chicago Herald
Platonic friendship between man and
woman can exist. 1t exists many times until
the man is foolish enough to tell her a love
story OF his own-and some other woman. [
overheard woman telling another woman all
about it the other day. They were at table
back of me in a restaurant. She said
"We have been the best of friends for years.
had never thought OF being in love with
him nor he with me. If wanted to go any
where and had no one to escort me would
always send for him, and he seemed SO pleased
to come. Then to have him come and tell
me all about his having been engaged to that
woman at that time. will never forgive him
for it. And, indeed, I'll not call upon her,
He is at liberty to marry, and marry her or
any one else, but he need not think am will
ing to take up any woman simply because he
is in love with her. Men are SO conceited.
Without doubt he has been thinking I've been
on the verge Of loving him, If haven't al
ready. He is the only platonic friend l ever
had, and don't want another.

Detroit Free Press.
The Professor of Natural Science at Ann

plants by means of insects carrying the pollen
from one plant to another, and to amuse
them told how the old maids were the ulti-
mate cause of it ALL

Old maids are the cause of variety in plants.
Thereupon sophomore with single eve

asked:

Truth Cost Him His Pulpit.

Rev. DR.. Lucas was seated among small
assemblage OF friends In Postmaster Thomp-
sons room, making an honest effort to forget
that the thermometer was hugging the nineties.
He said: 81 once knew minister to loose
his pulpit by telling the truth" Being asked
to explain, he said: ''While stationed In
Iowa, became acquainted with a minister
who was forcible speaker, but was deficient
In education, and occasionally committed
some grave misdemeanors against the kings
English. One Sunday evening, while speak
ing rapidly, he committed gross assault on
Lindley Murray. No sooner had the sentence
escaped his lips than he stopped and said: Il
am aware that my education is deficient /
regret that / did not have the advantage of
good schools while boy. II had been more
preaching to more intelligent congregation"
The minister told the truth, but that was the
last time he preached In that church"

About Him and His Busines,

Mr.. William Dickson's many friends in.
Philadelphia will be pleased to know that be
mas settled into place that it is said will net
him at least $4,000 year. He has become
the agent at Washington of the Pabst Brew
ing Company, of Milwaukee, recently made
vacant by the death of Captain Widdecombe.
1here is said to be great rivalry between Mr..
Dlckson's company and tile Anheuser Busch
OF st. Louis, and the Bergner ,E Enele. Of
philadelphia. He runs the Democratic PARTY
Oh tne district OF Columbia and is n member
OF the National Democratic Committee. He
mas always been against Cleveland and is
known TO be one of the leaders of the move
ment that was started some time ago bv a
strong coterie of Democratic politicians to
make Senator German the Presidential nomi-
nee next year.
AS Mr. Dickson is said to owe his new nosi-
ton TO the friendship of the man who was Mr..
Cieveland's Postmaster General, Senator elect
Yilas, the politicians are surmising that Mr.
Cleveland may gain an advocate and Mr.. Cor
man lose one. Mr.. Dickson himself saws there
is no politics in his appointments: that he ia
still for German, and it is his belief that the
Maryland Senator is the man who will take mn
mis- abode at the White House when Harrison
leaves there on the 4th OF March, 1893. He
says the men who are fostering the German
Doom are doing their work very quietly but
very Systematically. They are not hunting
delegates with brass bands.

THAT explosive western individual of the
name of Vaughan, who vehemently demands
S400, ,000, 900 of the Government to pension all
ex-slaves, should be considerate and merciful.
The late Bilhon-dollar Congress left the Treas
ury almost dead broke and just at this time
Secretary Foster is worried nearly to death to
scrape up money enough to pay ice bills and
the other little running expenses of the Gov
ernment. Besides this there are many of Un-
Gle Sans notes falling due right along, and
owing to the generally bad financial condition
OF the country, the note holders are leery
about granting extensions. 1t is probable, if
the case was presented to them in the right
light, that neither Mr.. Vaughan nor his clients
would want the men who risked their lives in
making the prefix sex" proper before the
''slaves" to go without their pensions, as they
would have to do if Mr.. Vaughan's demands
were met at once. No; Mr.. Vaughan should
be considerate and patient, and may be he will
get what he asks in the course of time; IL not
that, then in the course of eternity. Let Mr..
Vaughan and the ex-slaves make up their
minds to wait while-say couple Of hun
dred years at least.

HoweIIs on the Theatre.


Some such error long disabled the theatre
from Offering pleasures which might be en-
joyed with self-respect. But it isinterestingly
noticeable that of late the theatre has been
somewhat better advised and at the moment
the news stand has begun to topple on the
edge of the pit, the drama has been trying to
climb out of 1t. The theatre is still very
coarse, very shameless, but we think 1t has
really some impulses topurge and live cleanly,
which ought to be encouraged by all who
know its vast influence. AS we have often
said, it addresses the weaker intelIigences and
not the cultivated, except on rare occasions.
But apparently the news stand also addresses
the weaker intelligences and the acted fiction
has been growing morally better while the
printed fiction has been growing morally
worse, till now there is much less to choose
between them than there once was.

IF there is desire in any quarter to depose
Ansnias from the legendary position which he
has so long held, this would seem to be most
opportune time to do It, The reports about
Secretary Blaines health and Secretary Mobiles
resignation make it evident that competi-
tive examination of certain newspaper men
and public men just now extsnt would dis
close prevaricator of such heroic energy, in
dustry, and persistence that Ananias would
be no longer in it as the worlds typical liar
And in the competition it is safe to say that
the newspaper men would be very far from
having walkover. When a newspaper man
toys with the truth, 1t is usually with view
to making picturesque story. When poll
tician lies, he does 1t with clearly defined
pecuniary or political object In view, and he
throws all his soul and energy into 1t in order
to make 1t convincing. He lies from no artis-
tic motive, but from purely business reasons.
He does it not at all as an exercise of the
imagination, but because he wants to conceal
the truth. Therefore he is all the more ener-
getic and emphatic.

AMONG the men selected by the present Ad-
ministration to represent this country abroad
in consular capacity was one j. o. Kerbey,
who claimed to be ajournalist. Mr.. Kerbey was
sent to Para, Brazil, although his qualification
for the post was openly questioned. Since Mr..
Kerbey has been in Para he has been writing
newspaper letters to American papers, which
show pretty clearly that his knowledge OF the
rules of English composition is very slight and
that he is entirely unburdened with care as to
what effect severe criticism on Brazilian public
men and sneenng comment on Brazilian charac-
ter and customs may have on his standing with
the people among whom he is temporarily
residing. 1t is likely if the Brazilians knew
Mr.. Kerbey as well as he is known here, they
would pay little attention to anything he
might write. But they probably do not SO
know him, and in any event they must at least
officially regard him as a representative Ameri-
can. AS general rule, there can be no OBJ
lection TO American consuls eking out their
small salaries by writing newspaper letters,
