HOME AND FARM says, and says
truly:
"NO other man is called on so Of
ten to change his plans of opera
lions as the farmer, for in no other
calling are there so many excep-
lions to general rules, and so many
conditions vitality affecting the re-
suits of the year which are entirely
beyond control, and often cannot
be foretold a day in advance"
The successful politician is often
fool in all save the one faculty of
quilting his fellows, but the success
full farmer has to be a many sided
man, having his eyes open at all
points and ready to take advant-
age of every circumstance. He
must be able to forecast events and
organize profit out of what was
foreOrdained to his loss. When he
mixes his farming with brains he
succeeds, but when he muddles it
with politics he fails, because the
two are run on widely different
principles.

Plants and Glaciers.

Various facts indicating the curious
persistence of life in spite of great cold
and other unfavorable conditions have
from time to time been mentioned.
Another instance is furnished by re-
cent discoveries concerning the plants
of Greenland. Greenland as every body
knows, is covered with an immense
glacier, or sheet of ice. Its present con-
dition must, in many respects, closely
resemble that in which the northern
part of the United States was during
the glacial period But wherever a
little soil bare of ice affords foothold.
vegetation appears in Greenland. The
plants grow close to the ice, and vari-
Gus circumstances concerning them
have led to the conclusion that when
caught and buried under an advancing
ice-sheet they are not entirely de-
stroyed, but some of them retain their
vitality for an indefinite period, and
upon the retreat of the glaciers begin
to grow and flourish again. This is
contrary to the old idea that vegeta-
ton retreats before the ice when gla-
cial period is coming on, and follows 1T
when it retires northward.-Youth' s
Companion.

GOLD BULLION STOLEN.

Five Thousand Ounces Mysteriously Dr.
appear from a Sealed Vault.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.-The weigh
ing of gold bullion in one of the re-
serve vaults of the Philadelphia mint
has led to the discovery of shortage
of about 5000 ounces, valued at
sos, O00.
The vault was sealed in 1887 and
when Col Bosbyshell assumed charge
of the mint the bullion in the
reserve vault was not weighed, he
receipting for the contents on faith.
Director Preston has reminded him
that as he had receipted for the full
amount stated on the schedule he was
responsible. The seals clearly show
that the doors have not been opened
and if there has been an abstrac-
ton an entrance must have been
made through one of the walls The
missing treasure is part of $4,000, 600
of bullion transferred in 1887 during the
superintendency of the late Daniel Fox
from New York to Philadelphia. Mr..
Cochrane, trusted employee, has beer
in charge of the vaults for many years.

FLOWER GARDENS IN ITALY.
Some of the Effects of Rare Beauty In
Various Villas

Some of the Effects of Rare Beauty In
Various Villas
The Villa Mutt had once the most
varied system of flower gardens of any
villa in Italy. The house is literally
surrounded by them, all at different
levels, and one might walk out of any
story of the house and find ones self in
a charming garden. The villa has now
gone to almost absolute decay, and
only the vaguest outlines of the ar
rangements of these gardens can be
discovered. There is therefore very
little there which could be so repro
duced as to convey any idea of what
had been. The "bosquet" is on a ter
race resting above the upper garden,
and is reached by a fine stairway,
which begins in full sunlight and ends
in the heart of the grove in the densest
shade. The reservoir is above this, and
has seats about it. There are two
villas in Frascati belonging to the
Borghese family, one of which, the
Villa Taverna, has been kept up as a
family residence, and the other, Mon
dragone, is now occupied by Jesuit
school. The palace and the scale of
the gardens of the latter are of great
size; but with the exception of fine
terrace in front of the house, and an
avenue of expresses which leads up to
it from the public road, there is moth
ing left but architectural details. The
walls and fountain of the old garden
still exist, and also n pavilion and col
onnade of remarkable dignity at one
end of it; but the RACED parterre is now
used as playground for boys.
The Villa Taverna has very charm
ing flower garden, which is reached
from one wing of the house 1t is raised
above the road and is, in fact, inclosed
and supported by architecture so that it
seems to be literally an apartment of
the house. The central fountain here
is a very handsome one surrounded by
laurels cut in a circular form. There
are some interesting fountains let into
the wall, and the balustrade which con-
meets the garden and the house is a
very good one.
With such magnificent views, and
with slopes so delightfully."- accidented,
it seems it would be difficult for an art
ist-gardener not to produce beautiful
results. particularly as the Italians in
their construction of summer villas
rarely allowed ideas of convenience to
interfere with their desire to produce
beautiful effect.-Charles A. Platt, in
Harrer's Magazine.

eff you think you've got such dead

why don't you sue me for it?' asked
the man with the double chin.
II could sue you and collect it easily

the reason that it would have brought

thoughtfully. But that won't GO

DENIsoN, Tex, Sept. 16.-Sid Huds-

rested yesterday on charge of cattle
theft 1t is alleged that several more
arrests will follow, and that parties at
Denison and other points are under
surveillance. Jim Douglass, now in
Jail at Bonham, furnished much in
formation leading up to investiga-
ton which has just fairly begun. In
addition to his confession duplicating
several Grayson county people in
alleged cattle stealing, Douglass i'm
plicates himself and others in the rob-
berry of train near Muskogee and
other attempts near the Kansas line,
exploding another grenade by saying
that deputy marshal in the territory
is cognizant of the whole transaction
and was in the play to the extent OF
secreting the bandits and assisting
them to leave the scene of their depre-
dations unidentified Even at the pres
ent incipent stage it has created con-

Creates. Peach Crop Ever Known.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept 13.-The
peninsula peach crop will have been
shipped by the close of the present
week. It was the largest crop ever
known here. There have been about
4, Zoo, 900 baskets shipped by rail and
about 1000, 600 baskets shipped by
water. In addition to this number,
about 1000, 600 baskets have been de-
stroyed by the storms, so that the total
crop has not fallen below 1000, 900 bas
kets. 1t is generally conceded that
there will never be such a crop OF
peaches on this peninsula again. The
crop was of a very fine quality.
