Old Jokes Are Good.

4 professional bumorist said the other
day: There is great truth about jokes
which both readers and writers recog-
nize in practice, but do not often formu-
late. 1t is this:
a good joke improves no less with
age than does wine. Once upon time
there was famous speaker whose toll
erably bad lecture started off and ended
with two of the most exquisite jokes
ever invented. People travelled miles
and sat patiently through the same lect-
ure year after year to split their sides
laughing at the same old jokes. After
the effect Of the Introductory joke had
worn off there was always perfect al
lence until the lecture was three-quar-
tiers done, when the anticipations of an
audience which had never been swindled
would begin to break out ia gurgling
laughter, mods, winks and whispers OF
''It's conling!" And when at last this
well seasoned old chunk Of wit brought
the performance to d close the very roof
was raised.
But one fatal night there was bad
case Of dyspeptic pessinism in a front
seat. 1t is true that when he roared
chestnut" at the first joke the audience
nearly mobbed him, but the lecturers
tender spot was touched. dc prepared
a new lecture, which began and ended
with two absolutely fresh jokes. When
the lecturer walked upon the platform
with his new manuscript in his hand hs
received an ovation.
The first new joke seemed to stupefy
the people. But q few sentences Of tho
new lecture woke them up. and theyross
as one man and demanded their money
at the box Office. At the next town the
lecturer affixed the old jokes to the new
lecture, and al went so well that he is
still cracking them with constantly in
creasing success.-Chicago Mail.

The suggestion contained in Mr.. Glad
stones letter to Mr.. Montague, member
of the British parliament, in regard to
the Russian Jewish subjects, that the
best solution of the problem of what to
do with the exiled Jews would be to eff
feet an arrangement with the Turkish
government by which they may be col
onized in Palestine, their ancestral
abode. is a plausible one, except that if
Jews are consulted about the matter it
will hardly be carried into effect. The
Jews are essentially commercial, trad
ing people and to place them in large
numbers in Palestine as it is today
would be to practically leave them with
out means of support. That country is
not in condition now to admit of the
restoration of the Jewish nation, if it
ever is.

Senator Stewart of Nevada is the
recognized champion of the free coinage
of silver, and although in the estimation
of some who oppose free coinage the
senator's advocacy of the proposition is
compromised very materially by the cir
cumstance of personal interest (being
extensively concerned in silver produc-
tom, it can not be denied that some of
his points in defense of silver are simply
unanswerable. For instance, in his
article In the june Forum he declares
that IF silver had not been demonetized.
the use of both metals would have fur
nished reasonable supply of money and
diSarmed the advocates of paper fat

cut off half the supply, violated existing
contracts, reduced values, and paralvzed

believing that the limit is yet far
from having been attained.
The second need Of the farmer is
the application OF business principles
to his calling 50 that he shall not con-
tinually buy and sell at n loss. His.
crop is bought, in the sense that he
must pay in either labor or money
the rental or interest value OF his
land, the cost of planting, cultivat-
ing and harvesting his crop, and the
cost of the seed. While it would be
futile to attempt here to estimate the
cost of any given crop, owing to the
different conditions under which it
may be produced by different men
and in different regions, we think we
may say without fear of comrades
ton that the average crop (of staples)
does not repay the cost of production.
This by basing the estimate of cost
only upon the items considered. If
in addition we consider the value Of
the plant food absorbed by the crop,
the grower is left not only poorer in
purse, but with poorer land upon
which to grow his successive crops.
In regard:to cotton, the cost of the
commercial fertilizer must be APP
piled, because that is an almost uni
versal practice now in the south, and
| is a requisite preliminary to "mak-
ing a crop" When farmer persists
year after year in producing crops
without regard to the question OF
whether they are re-paying the cost
Of production, and in robbing his
land of fertility without returning

ly grow poorer, for such man will
not produce more than the average
crop, and the result is inevitable
