A Mastery Document.

Senator PETER has formulated the
best possible answer to the sneers of
his enemies and detractors in the re-
port on the Causes of Agricultural
Depression, which he recently pre-
pared for the senate committee on
agriculture. That report is not only
one of the clearest and best presenta-
lions ever made to the senate, but it is
written in a style which is noticeably
in advance of the average report al0
shows the skill Of the practical writer
Senator PETER takes issue with the
secretary of agriculture at once. He
shows by long tables of carefully COM
piled statistics that the question of
oyerproduction and oversupply have
had little or nothing to do with the re-
duced scale of prices for farm pro-
ducts As matter of fact, the crop
Of the United States has apparently no
connection whatever with the price be-
cause of the freedom with which our
products can be exported. In 1891, Tor
instance, the crop was 9; per cent
above the average, but the prices were
much better than the. preceding year.
The question of the crop Of the entire
world ought to make more difference,
but the following table Of the worlds
production of wheat refutes this argu.
ment completely:

 Russian Pickpockets.

One day. at the dinner table of a grand duke, the French ambassador ex- tolled the dexterity of his fellow coun- trymen, as exemplified, among other things, in the cleverness of the Paris pfckpockets. ,,,e.-a .- .,
 T should not wonder if the St. Peters, burg pickpockets could give them a start" replied the grand duke. And seeing an incredulous smile play round the features of the ambassador he add ed: twill you bet that, before we rise from the table, your watch or some oth- CT valuable will not be taken from your person." T! "'9t'
 The ambassador accepted the wager for the fun of the thing, and the grand duke telephoned to the chief constable asking him to sends6t once the cleverest pickpocket he could lay his hands on. The latter was to receive the full value of every article he managed to "annex" and be allowed to go unpunished.
 The man came and was put into liv- cry, and told to wait: at the table with the other servants. The grand duke told him to give him the sign as soon as he had accomplished the trick. But he had to wait 8 long time for the am- bassador, whose watch was the article to be experimented upon, always kept on the alert, and even held his hand to his fob when conversing with the most distinguished guests at the table. At last the grand duke received the pre- concerted signal. He at once requested the ambassador to tell him the time. The latter triumphantly put his hand to his pocket and drew forth potato, instead of his watch. There was gen. eral burst of laughter in which the am- bassador himself joined, though, with a wry face, for he was unlnistakably an- noyed. To conceal his feelings he would take pinch of snuff-his snuff box was gone. Then he missed the seal ring from his finger, and lastly the gold toothpick which he always carried about with him in a little case. Amid the hilarity of the guests the sham lackey was requested to restore the srti- .cles, but the grand dukes merriment was changed into alarm and surprise when the thief produced two watches, two rings, two snuff-boxes, etc. His imperial highness made the discovery that he himself had been robbed at the same time-Das Neue Blatt.

 Prof" Amery of this city has to do up his bangs at night. He has a long and flowing mane of hair that would make the women turn pea green with envy if they saw him.

He doesn't do 1t because he loves to, but because of the problem that his long hair has become to him The fall of 1t atpresent is some twenty inch- es, and it weighs pound and . half, but the really curious thing about 1t Is the fact that 1t ''bleeds' 'twhen it is cut.

DANGEROUS HEALTH"
One of Oliver Wendell Holmes
 Happy Phrases.
Tho Great post Applied t to William
 Cullen Bryant.
The Boston Herald Says It Fits The
 Case of @ Great Many People.

In a recent editorial, the Boston Her. aid. in speaking of our great poet, OIL yer Wendell Holmes happy phrase ap- piled to William Cullen Bryant at the recent commemoration of the latter's birthday, says Dangerously good health fits the case of a great many people. young and old. who trust to their strong constitutions. and wear themselves out before they know It. This accounts for the fact that so many people in robust health are cut down, while those who are less vigorous live or by recognizing their own weakness.
 No words are truer.
 The sick, as a. rule. take care of them selves and know enough to use medi- cine when necessary. It is the person in robust health, who, by overwork, strain upon the nerves. or dissipation, gets just little out of order, has headaches, becomes nervous and irri- table, is unable to sleep well. and wakes tired mornings, with dull feel ing head. constipation, no appetite for breakfast, and general feeling or lassitude, weakness, and lack of ann bition to- take hold of work, who Is in a dangerous way. Such a person has presumed upon good constitution, and undermined the health. The right medicine must be had and taken at once, or the apparently trivial symp- toms will quickly result in utter break ing down.

the north end will be finished tonight With exception of the top railing the fence around the field is completed. To finish the work 1t will be necessary to build the picket fence in front of the stands and erect the wire netting which separates the various sections.
 When the whole work is completed the only apparent difference from the grounds of previous years VIII be that several center sections on either side will be carned a few rows of seats higher. This slight change will seat several hundred more spectators. The football field is in fair condition. The white marks Are still plainly visible and but little will have to be done to bring 1t up to the standard. 4,

 John c. Greenway, for two years end rush on the Yale eleven. has finally de- cided to yield to the physician's orders and will not play in the big games this year. In the game with West Point he received a strain which has caused his retirement from then till the present time, and now his physi- clan has peremptorily forbidden Green way appearing on the gridiron again this year, or the chances are that he will be unable to wear a Yale baseball uniform next year. Greenway Is the Varsity catcher, and his presence be- hind the bat to support Carter is in dispensable.
 Greenway's place will be filled by Louis Hinkey, brother of Captain Frank Hinkey, who has been making hard fight for the place all the fall.
 UNIFORMS DISTRIBUTED.

The lucky candidates were: F. A. Hinkey, captain; F. T. Murphy, A. M. Beard, J. A. McCrea, w.. o. Hickok, P. T. Stillman, G. T. Adee,. F. s.

DO Not Drown the Plants.

Even in dry weather, stagnant water is
injurious to plants, in part because II
browns them by shutting off the air, Just
as it does with human beings. The fine
iibres of the root system and the still tn-
er cells called root hairs, are both the
lungs and stomach of the plants. They
take plant food from the soil and oxygen
from the air which permeates the soil
The leaves are in one sense also lungs, as
they take carbonic acid from the air; but
it is the roots which take oxygen as do
human lungs. If the soil is loose and
partially dry, these root lungs can breathe
and do their work, but when the soil is
kept soaked and the air is thus kept out,
the underground plant organs fail to work
and soon decay Soil which has loose,
well drained surface encourages root ex'
teuSion, and at the same time admits
plenty of air for them to feed upon. Soil
which is too cold and moist is likewise
unfavorabe to the action of the living
microbes which change over the chemical
elements in the soil and adapt these ele-
ments to the use of the plants.

When Hay Is Cured.

An experienced hay maker gives a new
test in deciding the condition of hay. He
says that the proper time to rake hay is as
soon as the rake will do the work easily
When hay is too damp, the rake will not dc
the work well. No better guide can be
given as to the time TO commence raking.
Sometimes it will be ready to rake a
few hours after it is cut. In other instan-
ces a couple of days may be required, &C.
cording as the hay is bulky on the ground
and succulent at the time OF cutting, and
as sunshine and wind may be present OF
absent
But in every form Of hay making il
should be regarded as a cardinal principle
that the rakng should commence as soon
as the rake will do the work easily and in
good form.
lie thinks there is a loss in feeding
when hay is not preserved from the suns
rays, after it has reached that stage in the
curing process,

Potatoes.

There is no reason why potatoes should
be served in the same manner day after
day. There are three hundred ways OF
cooking them. Try for week these
ways OF serving them. They take little
more time than the regular boiling and
baking.
ON Sunday have them mashed - not
pounded into a sodden mass, but whlsked
into creamy substance. To attain this
they should be peeled. steamed, broken
with potato whip, moistened with milk
and butter, seasoned with salt and pepper
and beaten like a batter until they are very
light.
On Monday bake them in their skins.
They should be washed clean, baked in a
good.oven and served at once.
For Tuesday they may be peeled and
baked with roast, When the meat Is
within half an hour or so of being ready.
lay them in the gravy under it and bake
until they are covered with crisp, brown
skin.
On Wednesday serve them in Kentucky
STYLE. These are sliced thin as for frying
soaked in cold water for half an hour, put
in pudding dish with salt, pepper and
milk baked for an hour,
On Thursday serve them fried whole.
Peel and boil them. Roll in beaten egg
then in cracker crumbs and fry in butter,
On Friday have potatoes Ia Parlsl-
enne. Wash and rub them with coarse
cloth until they are skinned, drop into
boiling water and boil until done. Have
ready in a sauce pan some hot cream and
butter, a little green parsley pepper and
salt. Pour the water of the boiled pota-
toes, cover with this and let it stand.
On Saturday boil the potatoes in their
skins and serve with butter.

Glover Growing in the West.

As there is no more new land to be tax
en- up by settlers, Western farmers are
givin more attention to improving what
they have One of the effects of this
change is a greater use of clover in alter
nation with grain crops. An Iowa farmer
writes that he gets much better profit in
FIVE years by havirg two out of the five
employed in growing clover, instead OF
attempting to grow successive corn crops
on the same land. Clover and corn ma
turally go together in Eastern farming,
and the corn crops in States where clover
and corn alternate, yield more per acre
than in those where clover has not hereto
fore been much grown.

The Dry Cow.

a dry COW should be fed well enough to
keep her in good condition, but not so
we'll as to make her fat. Keep the COW in
good flesh, but not fat. 1t is not to be
forgotten that the condition of the calf
depends greatly on that OF the COW, and
that this will suffer before the COW does if
the food is not 81 fticient to maintain both
in good health.
And the better the feeding, so that it is
not excessive. the better the COW will milk
after the calf is dropped A COW which
comes into milk while in poor condition
certainly will not give so many quarts,
nor will she hold out so we'll. Even high
granting after calving cannot wholly make
up for half starving in previous months,
