Farm Villages.

Among the schemes to make the lot Of
American farmers a happier one is that
of having the agriculturists Of neigh
borhood build their homes clustered to.
gether in a village, from which they
could go out daily to their toll in the
fields. By clubbing together they might
have their handsome little township hall
decorated so that it could be used as
theater, concert room or clubhouse. By
the cooperative method they might also
enjoy sidewalks, lighted streets and
many Of the advantages of city life.
The village might be built around the
postofice and corner grocery, or the
postoffice and grocery might be brought
to the farm village. By this means
farmers families would always be in
easy reach Of doctor and preacher, and
could have, so far as their means went
opportunities for as much social pleasure
as falls to the lot of the city jewellers
They would have a railroad station and
telegraph also at command.

A STEP BACKWARD PROPOSED

Councilmen Donovan and Hedge
took manly stand in the council yes
terday in opposition to the proposition
TO reduce the license fee for the sale of
intoxicating liquors at retail from 5000
to 500 per year. 1t is not in the least
a matter Of surprise that the petition of
the liquor dealers was persistently
favored by Councilman Kingdom. All
of the saloons in the city are located in
the ward he represents, and their pro-
prietors are his most influential sup
porters. He sits i'm the council as the
special representative of the liquor sell
ers, and may be relied upon at all times
to use his influence in their behalf
But it is safe to say that the action of
at least two of the other cOuncilmcn
who voted with him will surprise and
displease a large majority of the resi-
dents of the wards they represent.
The people are not in favor of low
license. 1t is menace to morality,
dangerous to the welfare of the COM
munity and contrary to good public
policy. 1t belittles virtue. 1t puts
premium on vice. 1t renders easier the
opening Of dives, where fiends are
made of men, where manliness is
wrecked, where the DEVILS worst work
is done, and from which come the seeds
of more distress and suffering in once
happy homes than can be traced to any
other source. 1t is an aid to depravity,
concession to the most beastiai pas
sions of men, and distinct step back
ward in the progress of civilization and
morality. 1t is far more than a mere
question of sentiment. The principle
involved is one which affects in some
degree the welfare of every home. The
councilmen are the servants and repre-
sentatives of the people, and it is their
duty to do everything in their power
TO promote the greatest good of the
greatest number. The interests of The
public, the rights of the people as a
whole, should certainly be considered
and protected first, in preference to
claims for pecuniary concessions
from half dozen men engaged
in traffic which the law itself DEGREES
shall pay tribute to the public treasury
In partial compensation for the evil
that it does. Let us hope that the
innate good sense of a majority of the
council may yet assert itself and pre-
vent the taking of the backward step
proposed,

Science and the Chinch Bup

As long ago as 1865 it was observed
that in certain sections of Kansas that
worst enemy of the farmers growing
crops, the chinch bug suddenly sicken-
ed and died by the million. leaving the
wheat and corn thereafter to grow in
peace. Microscopic examinations of the
dead insects proved that they had bean
killed by parasitic vegetable growth,
which attacked them both inside and
out Then Professor F. q. Snow. of
the Kansas Agricultural society, got
into his head the bright idea of inocu-
lating healthy chinch bugs with the
fungus from the diseased ones. by mix
ing up together the dead bugs and the
live ones He experimental in his
laboratory with such success as led him
to believe that here was a method for
the determination of this scourge.
He announced his conclusion. Some
laughed at it, others, and among them
some live farmers, believed it might be
feasible In the spring of 1891, last
year. In April, just as the chinch beast
began its ravages, nearly 1000 farm
ers, chiefly in Kansas. distributed in
their wheat fields diseased chinch bugs.
The report is that in 70 per cent. Of
these cases the result was triumphantly
successful Professor Snow now feels
sure that he has found how to destroy
the pest of the farmers. He considers
that already, by last years operations,
nearly 100000 has been saved to the
farmers who applied the remedy.
Now will somebody apply this method
TO the mosquito and render some millions
Of acres of the pieasantest regions Of
America habitable?

When Khoulalonkorn's wives get
quarreling so that life ceases to be worth
living, and the cares of state press upon
his noble brow unduly, and his treasurer
cannot meet the debts that have been
incurred to supply the kings little lux
uries, then Khoulalonkorn gets into his
glass house, puts in there eating, drink

novels, closes the water tight door and
bids his menials let go the house and
drop it into the inward parts Of the
great waters. There, all nice and cool

At this, the time of year for construct
ing roads and paths in grounds about
dwelling houses, and also public high
ways, it is Of use to remember that an
excellent way to make such road or path
is to dig down slightly, so as to give a
foundation Of one foot in depth. Fill
this foot Of space with broken stone and
cover the stone thickly with gravel or
cement The road should have a mod
crate crown in the middle. so that water
may drain of to the sides. Then along
side the road or path set carefully a
thick green sod. Water and tend it till
it takes firm root. Then go past there
every day or so and see how handsome
your road is.

Initiating the Music Of the Rain.

The melody of rain dancing on the
stones or pelting down in its first drops
on the dry soil of forest or a heath is
a species of sound which the art of music
has yet to initiate if it would complete
its at present very incomplete list Of in
struments. The Mexicans had some
rattles made of very peculiar clay, with
pips inside, which were intended to rep
resent this sound. Certain tribes Of the
North American Indians have been SINH
larly fascinated by the loud plash Of
water, to the beauty of which we have
alluded before. They have instruments
constructed accordingly, with view to
reproduce this sound.
Large buffalo hides are filed with
water and sewed up in the manner oi

their heads covered by a very fine gum

Two Kinds Of Usataee,

In some of the everyday occurrences of
life women exhibit much more moral
courage than men. You can see that on
the ''L" cars if you use your eyes. When
a man retains his seat while woman
endeavors to maintain her balance by
hanging to a strap in front of him, he
generally makes pretense of not seeing
her. If he has paper with him he will
appear to be absorbed in its perusal If
he cannot avail himself of that cOnven-
lent screen, he will pretend to be en-
gagged in such deep meditation as to be
oblivious to all that is going on around
him. In one way or another he will be-
tray the fact that his conscience is max
ing a coward of him and that he is try
ing to cheat it.
1t is very different with the average
woman. Who that travels much in th'
al" cars hasn't seen her often drop he
child into seat that has just been va
Gated, while women in various stages o
