THE FARM.
Can Anybody Be suooes.ruIFarmsr

OF course, the question ls, can any.
body be A successful farmer? An IN
telligent English lord, one ofthe most
powerful and the most successful in
government affairs Of which history
gives any account, having taken llk-
ing TO agricultural and live stock mat
ters, bought and attempted to manage
a farm. With mind that enabled him
TO grasp and mainly manage the affairs
of a nation he was nonpulsed in at
tempting to manage the affairs of a
farm. He could not cover his crops
from wet when too much rain fell on
them, nor could he devise a mode OF
furnishing water during dry spell.
Hence he was prompted To say there
waq no governing principle to guide one
IN tilling the soil.
SO, he only can farm successfully,
who faces these obstacles and hinder
ances. Most intelligent reading farm
ers have learned that through deep
tillage they cannot only hold moisture
in the deep down mellowed soil, re-
taing this to meet the wants OF grow
ing crops during the absence of rain,
but through this same deep tillage sup-
plemented by under drainage, they get
rid of surplus surface water, saving
crops from damage thereby. A man
raised on farm having, from year t.
year through all weathers, watched
the results of vicissitudes upon crops,
would undoubtedly take note of the
troubles that do so much beset the farm.
er with more GOODNESS aud confidence
in the final outcome than the minis
tiers of England would, having a ten
acre field in grain liable to be struck
by rust.
II is not great talent of the kind
! likely to be felt by Nation in the
Nations couucil that the farmers 81
much needs as he does practical COM
mon sense backed by discernment, pru-
dence and experience. A prominent
eastern journalist once put in print an
article on farming, stating that the
most successful grower of potatoes, and
vegetables in general, in the vicinity of
New York, was little bullet headed
Dutchman. The man doubtless had a
good store Of industry, and talent
enough to learn all that it was required
to insure success in his restricted field
of operations. Beyond this knowledge
would be valueless to him.
This statement regarding the potato
grower has no full application to farm
ing in general, as in many cases no or
dinary ability will meet the many, and
to an ordinary mind, perplexing CUES
tions that arise; now that competitions
is so sharp and such pIatoons of un-
scrupulous men stand ready to circum-
vent the farm at the periods when he
is ready, or may be forced TO sell grain
and live stock. While it does not re-
quirc the sort of talent needed by the
Prime Minister, it requires talent new
ertheless, and the courage of success
ful commander to obtain the best re-
suits.

How Ray Rum Is made.

Bay rum is manufactured in Dominica
from the dried leaves Of Pimenta acris.
Bay rum is procured by distillation, and
this in very simple manner. The
leaves are picked from the trees and
then dried. In this state they are placed
in the retort, which is then filed with
water, and the process Of distillation is
carried on. The vapor is then con-
densed In the usual way and forms what
is known as ebay oil" very small
quantity Of which is required for each
puncheon Of rum. The manufacture Of
hay rum is carried On ct the northern

Luncheon for Women.

Women do not take the hurried MONDAY
meal that they did short time since, bare
ly stopping between shops to eat roll and
cup OF coffee, and finish up with some
ming sweet and indigestible. They donot
do this now. A lunch is regarded as Sc
rious meal; for so it is in fact, and it Is not
to be hurried Having learned that it is
unhealthy to bolt their food, women begin
by allowing sufficient time in which to eat,
and they choose food that is liable to do
them the most good. Sometimes they in
dulge in a regular course dinner, begin
ming with soup, and following with meat
and vegetables, taking the oldtime coffee
and roll as dessert. Then when they are
ready to continue their shopping they are
physically braced for the wear and tear
upon their systems that shopping incurs.
This Is q most sensible and practical idea,
and when women are brought to look at
things in this light 1t 10 q blessing to every
one. Nerves are not fostered under such

"Jail breaks" were being discussed by
a number of gentlemen. For the bet
ter security of prisoners charged with
the more serious offenses they have
adopted a very ingenious plan in that
city of jail breaks Denver" said Mr..
J. W. Freeman. "The principle upon
which it is worked is this: A man is put
into one Of number of iron cells, the
cells being ranged in q circle. Then the
whole thing is set in motion, but the
construction renders the movement SO
gentle that it is not felt by any of the
convicts The result is that if an at
tempt be made to cut hole at any
point, with the idea Of resuming the
work at future time, the attempt is
frustrated, because by the regular move
ment the cell will be completely reversed
at the time the prisoner returns to it
from that which it occupied when he
temporarily left it. The motion is kept
up from morning till night, SO that es-
cape by ordinary methods is an impossl-
bility.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Catholic Esfatations Of GaInso.


From the r7ess of books which appeared
under the auspices Of the church imme-
diately after the condemnation Of Calico,
for the purpose of roofing out every yes
tige Of the hated Coperaican theory from
the mind Of the world. two may be taken
as typical. The first Of these was n work
by Scipio Chiaramonti, dedicated to Car
dinal Barberini. Among his arguments
against the double motion Of the earth may
be cited the following;
animals which move have limbs and
muscles; the earth has no limbs or mus
cles, therefore it does not move. 1t Is
angels who make Saturn, Jupiter, the sun,
ETC., turn aroand. II the earth revolves, it
must also have an angel in the center to
set it in motion; but only devils live there;
it would therefore be devil who would
impart motion to the earth.
''The planets, the sun, the fixed stars, all
belong to one species-namely, that Of stars
they therefore all move or all stand still.
It seems therefore to be grievous wrong
to place the earth, which is a sink of i'm
purity, among the heavenly bodies, which
are pure and divine things"
The next, which / select from similar
works, is the Anticopernicus Catholicus Of
Polacco. 1t was intended to deal finish
ing stroke at Galileo's heresy.
In this it is declared "The Scripture al
ways represents the earth as at rest. and
the sun and moon as in motion, or, If these
latter bodies are ever represented as at
rest, Scripture represents this as the result
of great miracle.
''These writings must be prohibited be-
cause they teach certain principles about
the position and motion of the terrestrial
globe repugnant to Holy Scripture and to
the Catholic Interpretation of it, and not as
hypothesis, but as established facts:
ut is possible to work with the hypoth-
eses of Copernicus so as to explain many
phenomena. Yet it is not permitted to
argue on his premises except to show their
falsity "-Dr. Andrew d. White in Popular
Science Monthly.

THE DEAD-lETTER OFFICE.
Careless People Make Work for Govern
ment Officials.

Careless People MAKE WORK Tor GOVern-
ment OSiclals.
During the fiscal year 1SS9-9O the re.
ceipts of the dead-lcttcr office were
some six and half million pieces, be-
ing an increase of $4,000 pieces, or
per cent. over the preceding year.
During 1S9O-91, while it appeared from
estimates of the quantity of matter dis
patched through the mails that there
was an increase in letters alone of over
$50, 900, 900, the increase to the dead-let-
ter office was but 81, 900 pieces, OF AZ
per cent.
During the year just closed, although
the general volume of the business and
operations of the scI'7ico have APP.
preached per cent. il excess of the
previous year, the usuel and even ordi.
narily expected increase has not only
disappeared, but the gratifying fact ap'
pears that there was decrease of over
As, 900, or nearly per cent in the mum.
Der of pieces sent to the dead-lettcI
Office.
That the mistakes of the public,
which in so many instances prevent
matter committed to the mails from
reaching its intended destination and
which embarrass and thwart delivery,
continue to confront the service, may
be attested by the increase of over II
per cent. in unaddressed letters alone
While the quantity of matter sent to
that office has for years taxed and
pressed the clerical force provided tc
its utmost capacity and efforts, re-
course to extended and increased hours
of labor have at times become necessary
to meet the requirements of thorough
and most efficient service and the dis
position of accumula ton and arrear,
age of work. During the past year,
however, without any Increase of force
and wholly within the daily official
hours of labor, the office had its work
at all times well in hand and practical
ly up with it's current daily receipts.
The report of the desd-letter office
for last year showed that the work had
only been disposed of by recourse to
extra time, and that over 100, 900 letters
in excess of the previous year were re-
turned to writers. TIE report this
year will show the work of every
branch up to date and sn increase OF
ss5, 900 over last year in She number Of
