That boy on farm should be ex-
pected to do the work of two men

That we can have happy homes

Barnum.s Early Traits

In arithmetic and every form of eal-
culation he was particularly apt. and
one of his earliest recollectIons, and
one which he always mentioned with
much pleasure, was that in his 10th
year he was called out of bed by his
teacher. who had wagered with an ac-
quaintanee that in less than five min
utes he (the boy) could calculate the
number of feet in a given load of wood.
After obtaining the dimensions. half
asleep as he was, Phineas. much to the
delight of his teacher and the disconi-
future. of his doubling acquaintance, cor
rectly figured out the result in less
than two minutes
Nor was this knowledge of figures
the only marked trait which was early
developed by the boy. He was also At
a remarkably early age fully aware of
the value of money He never was
known to squander or foolishIy spend 3
penny. When he was years old he
had saved coppers enough to exchange
for silver dollar. This he turned,
as rapidly as he could with safety. and
by peddling homemade molasses
candy. gingerbread. and at times 8
species of liquor made by himself and
called cherry rum. he had accumulated
when he was not quite II years of age
a sum sufficient to buy and pay for \
sheep and calf. Indeed. to use an ex-
preston subsequently employed by
him when relating these early expert
ences. he was rapidly becoming .
small Croesus. when his father very
kindly gave him permission to buy his
own clothing with his own money. Oh
course this permission materially re.
duced his little store.-N y. Times.

piled the printers with correct

that what has been printed is not a

Pear Trees without BARK.

In Mr.. William Campbell's orchard
there is one row of trees loaded down
with young pears, but all the other
trees are barren of fruit. Mr.. Camp
bell and other growers who have wit
messed the sight attribute it to the
fact that something like year ago
COWS broke into his orchard and, at
tracted by the tempting appearance
of the trees, ate the bark off one entire
row before being driven out. The
bark was completely stripped all the
way around off the entire trunk of
each tree. They are loaded with pears,
and it is thought that destroying
the bark caused the sap and
strength of the tree to go into the
fruit. To further this theory there is
another tree in a different part of the
orchard from which the COWS ate off
all the bark all the way around on one
of the limbs, and this branch is also
covered with pears, while the other
limbs on the same tree are perfectly
barren. The entire orchard is subject
to the same conditions of heat and
exposure The general pear crop is a
failure, and in a number of orchards
the amount of fruit will not Justify
the athering.-Florida Times Union.

Bric-a-Brac.

THE people who buy bric-a-brac, y
says a dealer. land constantly ask for
new designs have very little idea of the
trouble of producing them The china
factories have been at work so long
that every conceivable design for the
vase. cup, jar or other china article
has been employed over and over
again scores of times, and the best
designer can do is to select something
which has probably not been used in
the last few years and adapt it to suit
his employers. The whole animal
kingdom has been ransacked to fur
nish shapes for bric-a-brac and the
whole vegetable kingdom to furnish
material for its decoration In the
last twenty years vases have been
made in the shape of elephants, cam
els, hippopotami. rhinoceroses. lions
and other land animals; of whales and
every other kind of fish, to say moth
ing of the more familiar forms of do
nestle animals and well-known birds.
When the available list became ex-
hausted recourse was had to the isnag-
ination, and no nightmare ever con-
ceiyed monsters of form so frightfuI
as some of the shapes employed for
china goods. ~ z. 7fi6stae.

II the boy leaves the farm and gets
job in the city, in the first place he
finds that his food is greatly changed,
and we all know that food lies very
near the heart of the average boy.
Instead of fresh vegetables, meat,
eggs, poultry, milk and butter, which
he had seen all his life heaped on the
table in abundance, he learns the
merits and dement's of common board
ing house fare.
He is called to his work by whistle
or bell. He has no interest in his
work except to get the pay which just
keeps him alive and clothes him in
decent shape. He is under the eye of
a boss most of the time. After while
he can wear store clothes and carry a
cane as the city boarder whom he
envied on the farm did, but he is not
on terms of equality with his employer,
and would not think of speaking to
his pretty daughters. He is simply a
machine capable of doing SO much
work at such an outlay of money.
After while he has no more thought
of his work than the street car horse
that goes on such track so many
times ia a day. He loses interest in
the affairs of the world, unless it is the
last prize fight or base ball game. If
he marries he and his wife live up two
flights or three in some dark house.
where the only view is brick walls and
the air seems close and sitting. After
a few years he dies, and the people in
the fiat below merely know that some
one has been buried out of the house
and that there is a fiat to let on the
floor above. His wife must take
cheaper quarters where she can sup
port herself with her needle. This is
such life as the average wage earners
of the city usually live.
What did the boy gain by leaving
the farm? He left behind his ruddy
health. Had he stayed on the farm
he could have been a man, not a
machine. With more freedom from
bosses and overseers as we'll as the
noise, the diet, the hurry and worry
that belongs to city life, he could save
more money and still live in better
shape and have more pleasures. Al
most any young man can buy farm
and pay for it as real estate is now.
How many city mechanics and sales
men ever expect to become worth
enough to set up a shop or store for
themselves by their earnings? And
while the country man is at work foI
others, he is considered the equal OF
the man he works for il he is an honest
and upright man.-Clarence N. Snow
in New England Farmer.

A Drummer as a Collector.

The typical commercial traveller is
man of resources and nerve. Some
times he possesses what is called
sigall." As rule he is equal to any
occasion This was shown a few days
ago in Waco. Tex. A firm at that
place had failed. owing New Orleans
house large sum. A travelling man
was sent to get settlement. At the
end of week he had succeeded in
getting 81 $50, but a much larger sum
remained unpaid. Despairing of col
lecting any more he determined on
new plan of campaign. Posting him
self on the principal street he waited
for his debtor. and when he appeared
the drummer drew a cowhide and gave
him a good thrashing. Then he
walked to the telegraph Office and
wired to his house: s.Collected 81, $50
and cowhided Solomons for balance. "
No doubt the cowhiding gave him
great satisfaction. but the house could
not deposit it in bank.

California Women and the Worlds Fair.
Mesdames P. P. Rue, J. R. Deane,
Theresa Fair and Frona Waite, com
posing the California committee of the
board of lady managers of the worlds
fair, are determined to attract the in
terest of California women in the
exposition.
A letter has been received from the
lady managers at Chicago, directing
the committee to prepare at once for
work. The letter states that every
manufactured article exhibited at the
fair from this state will be labeled so
as to show how much of the manufac-
ture was done by women and how
much by men.
For the exposition of those arts in
which female skill and patience are
ladies will be formed. They will be
asked to furnish money to be used in
rewarding women VINO may submit
exhibits. Mrs. Stanford, for one, has
signif1ed her intention of contributing
several thousand dollars. To the
Women's Exchange will be given
supervisory authority to employ
women workers at regular wages to
manufacture various articles. Women
skilled in making delicate point-laee
handkerchief or beautiful embroid-
cries or odd and beautiful effects with
needle and thread will thus be enabled
to earn wages and honor at the same
time.
The intention is to purchase all this
work outright from the makers. At
the conclusion OF the fair the ladies
propose to reclaim these exhibits and
hold a grand fete and fair in San Fran
cisco, where the exhibits will be sold
to the highest bidders and the pro-
ceeds given to local charitable in
stitutions.
The committee will canvass the
entire state to secure specimens of
female skilled labor. Sculptures,
paintings and writings will be sub
jects. Those eenterprising women who
run farms and orchards and placer
mines and vineyards will be called
upon to contribute to California s
womanhood as outlined in the Colum-
bian Exposition.

The CASPIAN SEA.


The Caspian sea lies eighty-five
feet below the level Of the Black sea,
and is the greatest body of water in
the world lying below the sea level,
says GoilitbUGite's Geographical Maqa-
zine. 1t is remarkable not only for
this fact. but for the changes that have
occurred in its level. About the first
century of our era there is no doubt
that the level of the sea stood eighty-
five feet above its present horizon. and
of course, spread over vastly more
extensive area than at present The
Russian Geographical society has
printed treatise. written by n. NJ.
Philipof. of these remarkable changes
of level Since the early part of the
Christian era general and gradual
decline of the level of the sea has
taken place.
In the eighteenth century, however,
there appear to have been a few
periods when the level rose. From
the beginning OF the present century
there has been fall. but since 1865.
judging from recent observations. the
level has been higher. Lieut. Sokolof.
naval officer. while working in the
Caspian region from 1643 to 184S. coll
lected much information. He found
that in the present century the level
hdu stcduiIy 4dIitu, just as III tue last
century it has risen. causing great ap-
prehension among the inhabitants Of
an inundation and giving rise to the
belief in periodical variations every
thirteen years.
Lereh, while in Baku, in 1854 and
1747. found submerged buildings which
had stood on dry land thirty years be-
fore. and he mentions saying of the
Persians that the sea rose and fell
alternately every thirty years. Mr..
Philipof has made special study of
the whole question. Inquiring into
the causes of these changes of level.
he finds a variety of influences at
work. such as wind driving the water
towards certain coasts. temperature of
the air causing in summer eyapora-
ton and consequent fall in level. and
in winter cold producing a rise in
level Rivers, rain and earthquakes
are also among the active agencies.
causing fluctuations from month to
month and from day to day.
