Professional incomes In ENGLAND

Every man--professional or 9th
erwise--who gets to the top OF bi,
particular ladder in England is paid
not only in money, but in comforts,
in homage, and in all admiration, out
OF all proportion to those below him.
The heads of professions make what
in democracy would be deemed
fortunes every year. On the other
hand, the professional. rag tag and
bob tail receive less notice and less
money, and are far more restricted
in their social opportunities than
vito US. In giving figures relating
to professional incomes in England,

Sweets of Solitude.

Sheep and geese become restless when
separated from the flock; the eagle and
lion seek isolation. From quiet and
solitude spring the greatest thoughts,
inventions and formation. Our most
valuable acquisition in the time of our
development through nature, art and
circumstance is the fruit of hours spent
in quietude, desirable for our growing
youth and absolutely essential for our
future philosopher, poet and artist
George Ebers in the Forum.

Tho Russian Thistle.

A writer in the Chicago. Tribune
says patches Of thistle ten feet SQUARE
may be seen scattered all through a

not walk through these thickets IN
less their legs are protected in some
manner.
In Nebraska andfSouth Dakota the
crops Of '93 in many fax fields and
some wheat land was left standing az
not worth harvesting. This year the
injury was more severe.
The thistle causes great difficulty in
running harvesting machinery. In
places binders cannot be operated at
all and even headers are used with
extreme trouble. The largo rigid
weeds interfere with blowing and
continually clog hsrrows and cult
vators.
Many tanners of the Northwest be-
lieve the thistle cannot be exterminat
ed. Some farms are entirely aban-
doned to it, the owners giving up in
despair.
The only effective manner in which
to oppose the thistle seems to be to
hoe it down before it natures,
Nevada farmers should be on their
guard against the introduction of this
pest, by means of foul seed or in any
other way. Wherever it appears il
should be exterminated without delay
and at any cost.
