FACTS FOR FARMERS.

THE same principle which has caused
the wholesale slaughter of birds and
animals and the waste of fertility and
timber in this country is shown in the
manner in which our highways have
been treated or left without treatment.
THE only solution for the diversity Of
opinion and results obtained in various
farm practices is the difference in men
and their adaptability to carry out in
practice the various methods and prac-
tees on which successful agriculture
depends
In the pig must be fed on slop let the
slop consist of wheat middlings or
bran and SKINNED milk. Such slop
will make pig grow rapidly, and if it
also has the run of clover field it
should keep in good health, as it will
not be liable to disease of any kind. =
BESIDES the three ingredients in fer
tilizers which are commonly mentioned,
the soil must have humus-vegetable
matter--to hold moisture and TO make
plant foods available. A plant takes
food only in liquid form-that is, the
mineral foods. Clover will furnish
humus If plowed under.
WOMEN who are willing to work have
their attention called to the dairy. The
work in it can be readily superintendent
by them, and most of it is what they
can readily do Their neatness and
easily acquired skill is needed IN it..
They can build up the private dairy and
make it popular everywhere.
ONE of the sources of profit when
such concentrated foods as bran, mid
dlings or oil meal are fed is the manure
made from such foods. A ton of manure
from rich and nutritious food is more
valuable than three tons from some
other substances. There is more in
the quality than in the quantity of ma
uure.

A1van Clark, the Lens Maker.

Alvan Clark, the founder of the famous
house Of telescope makers, according to
the Illustrated American, seems to have
been designed by nature for the work in
which he won such distinction. Until
after his fortieth year he devoted himself
to portrait painting, and so accurate was
his eye, 80 delicately skilful his hand, and
so inexhaustible his patience that his por-
traits stand to-day almost unexcelled in
point of likeness, and well nigh unsur-
passable in point of exquisitely careful
finish. In everything that required keen
vision and close exactitude he was sue
cessful. 1t is related that once he watched.
game of billiards, saying at the
close that he believed he could
play, and, although he had never
before handled a cue, he played a
game far above the average of ordinary
billiardists.. But perhaps the most won
derful of his many accomplishments was
his craftsmanship. 1t is said that with q
rife he could put bullet after bullet
through distant board with such pre-
cision that one would say only single
shot had been fred, and this is partially
explained by the fact that he made his
own rifles, with his own hands, and used
that same marvellous exactitude in the
boring of the barrel, the setting OF the
sights, and the cutting of the bullets
that afterward gave him his world wide
fame as q lens maker.

GARRULOUs BISMARCK.
Mobility are Obliged to Fly From Him
or Become Implicated

Mobility are Obliged to Fly From Him
OF Become Implicated.
The announcement that Prince Bis
marck was going to Vienna to attend his
sons marriage, produced the same effect
as the appearance of hawk in a poultry
yard. With one accord the great began
to make excuse to get out of the city.
The mere declaration of the ex-chancel-
lor's intention was followed by the
rumor that Franz Josef, the head of the
proudest nobility in Europe, emperor,
king, and bearer of titles innumerable,
was to absent himself from his capital.
The German Ambassador, prince of an
ancient line, and the Prime Minister of
Austria Hungary, besides numbers of
officials of less consequence, were at once
seen to be on the point of taking vaca-
tson, with the sole purpose of avoiding a
meeting with Bismarck.
This stunning of minister overthrown
and utterly without power, has comical
aspect. 1t has also pathetic side. Bis
marck is one of the greatest men OF his
generation. His services to his country
are such as few men have been able to ac-
complish in the history of the world. His
fall was not brought about by misuse Of
power, neglect OF duty, or error of judg-
ment; but by whims of boyish sover-
eign. The disgrace that has been heaped
upon him has been wholly unmerited,
and the ostentatious humiliation and
studied insults sought to be inflicted
upon him on the occasion of his visit to
Vienna, can only attract general sympa-
thy to hin.-Illustrated American.

Minneapolis, the influence of the fair

INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOLAR.
Some Observations in Connection with
the Death of Professor Dwight.

Some Observations in Connection with
the Death of Professor Dwight.
The recent death Of Professor Theo-
dore William Dwight, of Columbia law
school, has given rise to some fresh dis
cussion of the question as to how far
college men and great scholars are
qualified to organize or lead great move
ments, whether in law or politics, re-
hgion or society. That the college pro-
fessor was the great leader in. Ameri-
ea's early history is clear. From Thomas
Jefferson's election till after the civil
war he was politically under cloud.
just now it looks as if he were about to
have his ''innings" again.
From time immemorial there has been
a sort of dull feud between the quiet
scholar and the active politician.
"Theorists," ssbookworms, "closet phi
losophers"-such are the epithets the
latter bestow on the former. sThey sit
down in their studies" says one editor,
'and construct in their minds an ideal
society; they evolve an abstract man
from the depths of their own conscious
ness and then want us to make laws to
fit that man." On the other hand it is
alleged that most of the movements to
enlarge popular liberty were inaugur-
ated by quiet scholars, and in America
the antislavery movement was for many
years confined almost entirely to that
class.
Professor William g. Sumner, of
Yale college, wrote a little work on
american Currency some seventeen
years ago which revolutionized the
views of many, and his subsequent ar
ticles on finance in general have had
considerable effect. Just at present he
is severely criticised for his opposition
to the tariff.
Charles Sumner entered public life
avowedly as an advocate of applying
scholarly methods to all public issues,
and Wendell Phillips, James Freeman
Clarke, James Russell Lowell and many
others of that era were brilliant exam
pies of ''the scholar in politics" In
deed, it is an extraordinary fact in
American history that when the radical
abolition element was too small to ex-.
cite any feeling except amusement and
contempt it contained clear majority
of the most eminent poets, authors and
scholars.
So early was the factrecognized in the
south and west that Edward Everett,
the most conservative of scholars, was
then popularity supposed to be radical
abolitionist even down to the time when
the Bell and Everett campaign began.
American history would seem to prove
that, while the so called practical poll
ticians always win the first battles, the
measures advocated by the college pro-
fessors often triumph in the end. Pro-
fessor Dwight effected many reforms in
prison management and charities, but
his speciality was the law. He was un-
questionably the most successful teacher
of law Of his time.

FEW F1vE-1NcH RAPID FIRE NAVY GUN.

FEW FIVE-INCH RAPID FIRE NAVY GUN.
The larger rapid-fire guns adopted by
the United States Navy are the 4-inch,
firing a 33-pound shell, and the 5-inch,
firing a 50-pound shell, while a 6-inch,
with 100-pound shell, is in process Of
development.
The 4-inch and 5-inch guns have shown
a rapidity of fire on the proving ground
of five rounds in seventeen seconds and
five rounds in twenty-four seconds, re-
spectively. In both the primed brass
cartridge case and shell are loaded to-
allowing great rapidity of opening and
closing is used.
The recol of the gun is checked by a
hydraulic cylinder in 10 inches for the D.
inch and IL inches for the s. inch gun, and
the gun is returned to battery by pow
erful spring almost instantaneously. A
single man trains and elevates the gun,
both motions being produced almost
without effort, and either rapidly or
slowly as required.
It is expected that smokeless powder
will be used in both these guns, thereby
giving muzzle velocities of 2,40O to $500
feet per seconds.
Armor piercing shells which will perfo-
rate two calibres of steel armor at close
range are used with these guns, as well as
the common cast-iron and steel shell, car
rying considerable bursting charges. AL
together, considering their rapid fire, the
hatness of their trajectories, due to high
muzzle velocity, and the character of
their projectiles, the destructive effect OF
the modern rapid-fire gun can hardly be
overestimated, and it is destined to play
most important part in the next naval
war.
The most efficient distribution of these
guns in the new ship designs of our own
navy has been the subject of careful con-
sideration, and plans have been worked
out for giving maximum volume of fire
In all directions. 1t is also proposed to
protect these guns by thin armor so as to
shield their crews from the effects of ex-
plosive shell and from the fire of the
smaller calibres.
The system of mounting these guns
was developed in the Bureau of Ordnance
and deserves special mention on account
of its simplicity and hardness. The
same type OF mount is used in all the
rapid-fire guns, from the 1-pounder to
the 6-inch, and works equally well with
each, permitting rapid and easy manipu-
lation combined with perfect control.
