determine the number of tons with lnucn
accuracy by measurement. For example.
it is variously estimated to require from
400 to 700 cubic feet for ton, according
to the kind of grass and the time since ii
was packed away. The solid contents OF
the body of hay are first found in cubic
feet by arithmetical rules Of measure

CONVERSATION a LOST All.


People Nowadays Appear ~ Meet to DO
Almost Everything but Talk.
When any number Of persons wish to
combine for social purposes nowadays
they form IA club The club however.
Is by no means social organization.
The pretext Is some sort Of mind culture
an arena for the discussion of some sub
ject. Shal1espeares plays, Browning
Dante, the stage. indicate the simpler
range of topics. Or if nothing better
offers, the members set up Il man Of
straw and have shies at him, sort Of in
tellectual game of Aunt Sallie.
The town is honeycombed with such
clubs. They are superseding dancing
and the natural diversions of the young
and conversation and cards of the more
mature. The common pleasure in meet
ing one another in good clothes and off
duty no longer exists. Nor have the so
cial affiliations that used to be found il
the church and in the mission school
any remaining power of social cohesion
1t is curious development, and is ma
turally in more vigorous state among
people from other parts of the country
who have come here to live. and must
find excuses for social organization out
side those that exist in older and allied
communities of people. An inherent
craving to know and to commune about
Plato or Renaissance art will furnish .
pretext for social advances that no one
can possibly mistake for bumptiousness
or any undue social aspiration. When
sufficient number Of persons with u
kindred thirst is discovered its satisfac
tion takes place at intervals in one an
others drawing rooms. This climbing
of staircases, ascent of elevators, fa
miliarity with one another's surround
ings and subsequent waters and cups Of
tea after the main business is concluded

bonds as are welded BY society in any ol
its older forms

How an Eskimo secures a wife,

An Eskimo youth is qualified to marry
when he has succeeded in killing polar
bear unaided. for the courageous feat
proves him capable Of providing for the
wants Of a family. He starts forth at
night to secure a wife. which he does b.
seizing the first girl he can surprise una
wares. She naturally screams and
draws the whole village population
about her. who. by raining sealsSin
scourges on his shoulders. aid the maiden
in escaping. He pursues, running the
gantlet of kick and buffet, until he again
catches his lady love. And should she
once more escape and be retaken third
time by the amorous pursuer the maiden
accepts her fate and becomes the young
mans wife. London Standard

Professor Roberts in paper on corn
culture, read at the annual convention Of
New York dairymen, said
A great point is gained u corn culture
if the corn is planted while the ground
is open and porous. allowing the heat tc
enter and warm the soil, thus starting
the seed quickly and SO get Il start OF
the weeds. From five to ten days after
planting the corn may be cultivated. and
far closer to the row and far more RAPID
ly than could be done after the corn has
appeared above the ground All cult
vators should have many fine teeth, in
order that the surface of the land may
be fined and leveled When moisture is
somewhat deficient, cnltivating with
fine toothed implements is Indispensable
Corn should be cultivated five times
during the season and the last time as
the corn begins to silk. The roots should
be broken as little as possible, and every
succeeding cultivation should be shall
lower and further from the row than the
preceding one.

The regret is that conversation, the
politest, the most spiritual, evanescent
the most agreeable Of all arts, has nc
greater chance III the mind culture clubs

information flourish the flame Of conver.

the speaker must rise to speak. Of there

on the Accommodations Of Wealth, which
settles down over the assembled intel

Conversation has long since beer
driven from more fashionable gayeties
where wit, wisdom and repartee are cui

the hostess signal to listen to the song
or story of the professional entertainer
and where the guests think themselves
happy If they are not forced into serried
ranks Of camp chairs. Conversation Is
no longer permitted except at the dinner
table, and then the amateur or profes.
sional story teller is apt to have the first
fork. and seems only to precede the

Regret, however, is only faint sigi
for the SHOWS Of last year. The wise
person does not quarrel with what i but
accepts it as the outcome Of circum-
stances, or the result Of tendencies toe
wide reaching or TOO deep for us to grasp.
If we are all under the pressure Of mind
culture it is doubtless for some good end

wagging of our tongues is checked there
are passages of scripture that will arise
