Kempen, town in Holland on the
lower Rhine (the birthplace of Thos.
A. Kempis), is favorite residence of
people with SIN all incomes. The i'm
agination of these Dutchmen must
be as limited as their incomes, judg-
lug non the droll stories that ~,
told Of them
At one time fire broke out, and
much damage was done because the
engines were out of repair. The
council met, and after much argu-
ment it was voted that on the eve
preceding every fire the town officers
should carefully examine the en-
gines, pumps, etc.
One Of the greatest profits of the
town was the toll exacted at the gate
The council wished to increase the
income, and instead of increasing the
toll it voted to double the number of
gates.
This same council also ordered the
sun dial to be taken from the court
house common and placed under
cover, where it would be protested
from the weather.
But of all the queer things that
are told of Kempen and its people
nothing is so absurd as this: Grass
grew on the top of a very high tower,
and the only way these droll Dutch
men could think of to get it off, was
to hoist cow up and let her eat it,

Lake Providence Banner-Demo-
crat, March 4: The weather this
week, up to Thursday morning, was
qnite favorable for planting inter
ests, and from all we can learn, con-
siderable progress has been made.
Some little corn has been planted.
with preparations for large planting
next week, if the weather permits.
We are assured that a much larger
acreage will be put in corn this year
than last, and proportionate dimi-
mutton in the cotton acreage. If this
method is pursued by planters gener-
ally, the South will be solid for the
year 1893, with plenty of corn and a
fair price for the staple.
There has been an increased acre
age planted in Irish potatoes this
year. and some of the tubers have
their sprouts above the ground with
great vigor.

Grafton of milking has its effect upon

There is no sense in calling a shoe
maker Of modern times a cobbler. The
nearest thing to cobbler to-day is the
custom made man who confines his at-
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is of compare.
tive recent date, and prior to its adop-
ton, the shoemaker, or cobbler, did the
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed tho
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to justify the employment of an as
sstsnt, and in larger cities he superin.
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders Of
the times have practically swept THU
man out of the field, and there are few
mehbers OF the trade who are really
coHblers. New York Journal.
