What to Do and How to DO 1t.

Under the head of "Farm Work."
Waldo Brown In mis- Farm Talks"
gives some important hints every
farmer should heed The important
consideration with every farmer re-
garding farm work Is, what to do and
when TO do 1t to the best advantage,
or most economically. There is
great amount of labor wasted upon
the farm because 1t Is not wisely and
thoughtfully directed. There is al.
ways a proper time for doing farm
work, but 1t is not always possible to
do it when the demand comes, and
this often results In indirect loss.
Thus In the cultivation Of root Chops,
the work Of man would be worth at
one time IS per day as compared with
the same kind Of labor done at some
other time out Of the proper season
for doing it. The same holds good in
haying time; the labor Of man to
secure the cutting and making Of hay
when it ought to be cut would be
better worth 50 per day, than 81 per
day at time delayed until the hay
becomes over-ripe and woody or in
a condition that is distasteful to the
animals to which it is fed, Work
cannot always be done just when 1t
ought to be, but 1t is more likely to
be when 1t is intelligently planned
beforehand One reason why work Is
sometimes brought out Of season is
because too much IL undertaken, 1t
Is better to plan for only just so much
as can be accomplished at seasoRable
times with all conditions favorable,
and crop we'll cared for when 1t
ought to be would produce as salts
factory results as one poorly cared
for, covering a larger surface. With
a soil that is inclined to be weedN a
little neglect involves a greatly in
creased amount Of labor

IMPoL.ITE GUESTS.
Instances of tho Boorlsh Conduct Of Cele-
brated Men.

brated Men.
The Irish reformer, Father Mathew,
used to tell Of remarkable visit
made to his grandfather by Dean
Swift Mr.. Mathew lived near Dub
lin, and invited the eccentric dean to
dine and spend the night at his house.
A large party Of the neighborlng
gentry were hidden to meet him.
The dean drove up to the house,
and summonlng the butler asked the
names Of the guests.
"Tell your master" he shouted, Il
will meet no such people" and drove
away in fury. Before he reached
the lodge gates, however, he changed
his mind, returned, alighted and de-
manded to be shown to his room.
When his host came to him, Swift
said, II am willing 10 accept your
hospitality, but l will not meet your
guests,
He was told that his meals should
be served in his room, as II he were
at home. He remained thus Isolated
for two days, then came down In high
good humor, joined the party and ex-
tended his visit for four months.
Our ancestors were more indulgent
and respectful to the eccentricities of
men of genius than are the present
generation.
Byron was accepted and patiently
tolerated when he chose to sit In
moody silence throughout q dinner
party given in his honor, scowling
contemptuously at the delicious plats
before him, while he slipped vinegar
and munched cracker
Many Of the leading people in Eng
lish society regarded Thomas Carlyle
with feeling almost akin to rever-
emit delight when he chose to behave
like an ignorant boor in their draw
ing-rooms, even taking his seat I'M
hidden in the presence Of the queen
This generation, however, has lit
tie patience with such eccentricities
1t was an English bishop that Is still
living, who, when the historian Free
man had worn out his patience with
his rudeness, introduced him to a
waiting audience as "the distln-
guished scholar that so admirably
describes and illustrates the savagery
of our ancestors"
Another English historian visiting
America was rendered a reception by
a literary club in New York, and
formally received in a speech Of well
come by venerable clergyman.
Finding the speech too long the
guest ,yawned in the bishops face,
turned his back on him, and walked
to window. There was a quick in
terchange Of amazed glances, then
the men fell into groups, and the I'M
derbred visitor was left to the care
of one man for the rest Of the even
ing. The rebuke was silent but
keen, and keenly felt.
An intellect which makes a man q
great scholar or poet can surely COM
prehend the ordinary rules OF good
breeding. Disregard of them is
usually the boorish affectation of q
coarse, surly nature. Youths Com

Pigs Need Fresh Earth.

The pig pen ought 10 have a space
of fresh soil that has not been tramp
led over for several years for the pigs
to root in. Such soil helps to cor
rect aciditY of the stomach and keep
the zig healthy But where the
roofing is over land filled with de-
composing pig manure the pigs are
sure TO get some disease, and this is,
doubtless, often the means by which
the dreaded trichina is introduced.
The pig likes to be cleanly. His
roofing In fresh soil for roots and
larva Of insects does not dlsprove his
preference for cleanliness.

Caution IN signing the Name.

An important matter TO teach q
girl Is the value Of her signature. II
the habit Is once formed Of attaching
her full name to every letter she
writes, with her address, 1t may save
a great deal Of trouble In future
times, should her letters be lost by
mail. She should be taught the re-
sponslbility which she assumes in
thus signing her name, and she snot
likely then to write silly and foolish
letters which she would gladly recall.
She should also learn that she must
not affix her name to any list of in
divlduals, any society or any docu-
ment without knowing fully what re-
sponsibility she is assuming. The
matter may seem trivial, but she
should give time to thought In all
matters where her name Is asked for,
and not trust even to her dearest
friend against her own Judgment

Sir William outwitted Him.

Mrs Kipling, Rudyard Kipling's
mother, once hit Off a very clever
but extremely garrulous and per-
sistently laxative official by saying
that he was essentially a clever man,
but he ought never be allowed to
talk; he should be used as a dictlon-
airy, and consulted when required.
This man was once guest at o
dinner in company with Sir W. w.
Hunter. The conversation began by
being general, but the Lahore talker
and Sir w. W. soon monopollzed 1t.
A duel or a duologue suited neither,
and at last Sir William said down the
table: excuse me one moment, Mr..
-, and allow me to finish my re-
mark" And Mr.. did so; but the
remark lasted unnil the company rose
from the table, and Mr.. ----- never
had chance Of getting in another
word edgeways.

Whom Animnls Are Remnued

When animals or plants are re-
moved from their peculiar and natural
districts to one entirely different In
climate some surprising changes take
place. AS soon as possible after such
removal they change their character
and habits so as to conform with
their new homes, or else cease to ex-
ist. A good wool bearing sheep trans
ferred from some northern pasture
to the topics changes his coat to a
thin covering Of struggling hairs
scarcely resembling wool; the dog be-
comes destitute Of hair altogether,
and even bees cease to lay up their
stores Of honey and in a great meas
ure lose their Industrious habits. =

BERLIN GOSSIP


BERLIN. July 22.-The emperor's depart
ure on yachting cruise, during which he
will visit several points in Sweden, and
the adjournment of the reichstag, marked
the beginning of a dall season in Berlin,
which is in great contrast to the lively
period of ferment caused by the army bill.
The respite, however, will be brief, since
the government will soon be busy consid-
ering the army bill budget. 1t is definitely
stated that General Won kaltenborn-
Stachen, Prussian minister of war, will
resign, having come into disfavor with the
emperor
Despite a semi-offical denial, the Klein
journal asserts that owing TO the inhu-
eEce of DR.. Won Schelling, Prussian min
lister of justice, Jews have been appointed
judges in Berlin and Brandenburg for some
months past.
The Prussian government has ordered
that an inquiry be held as to how it will
be best to Introduce Polish tuition in
schools which are in Polish districts
This, it Is openly hinted, is the emperors
return for the support given in the reichs-
tag to the army bill by the Polish mem
bers.
The comments in the papers here On the

sionists from Brunswick arrived at
Freidrichsruhe yesterday afternoon and
marched to Prince Bismarcll's house. In
reponse to an address from their spokes-
man, the ex.chancellor made a long
speech. His most notable remarks were
these:
''Such opposition as l experienced when

lately. During the old regime. however.
no serious danger was apprehended from
the opposition, because the fullest confid-
ence was felt that neither the empire nor
Prussia could be endangered so long as

the old emperor and his ministry. En-

Although the army bill was assailed at

rather than bear the responsibility fer the
consequences of a second rejection and
second dissolution. My son tells me that

ment would encounter the most serious
