A Grave-Digger Not Anxious to Go Out of

A man whose occupation is that OF
grave-digger and woman whose

"What, Bridget"
Suppose you should die. Then you
couldn't dig any more graves, and
then what 'ud the corporation do?"

man. The tricks of the trade be
something awful. Why, there amt
one man in ten who can dig a grave

your advice. We haven't got any

mErHops OF FARMING.

Rcw the characteristics of Nationality
Crop Out In TiIlages
For half hundred miles about New
York the country Is a region of small
farms. Nearly all are carefully titled,
bit the manner in which each is con-
dncted comes close to Indicating the
nationality of the owner. The native
American likes lawn in front OF his
house and leaves uncultivated strips
near the fence of his fields. Also his
preference in the way of crops is for
grain.
The Englishman and the German
devote much space to berries and veg
etables, and both delight in displays
of flowers before their houses The
Frenchman is sure to be a grape
grower He, too, revels in flowers,
but he fosters those that, cut or as
potted plants, will find city market.
The Irishman is a raiser of potatoes,
cabbages and corn. His home dis
plays little outside adornment, but
almost always there is about i
an air of solid comfort, and one mag
be sure to see pig-pen not far from
the cottage.
Abroad ''land is land" and those
who have been tenants of holdings that
cost them an annual rental of $50 per
acre retain their habit of close culti-
vation when farming in the United
States.
Here, again, the difference between
the American and the foreigner crops
out. The former is prodigal of soil
and let's the difficult spots alone; the
latter utilizes every inch of dirt clear
to the roadway and uses fertilizers
with skill and advantage to himself.

Springs .Break" in February.

February fll-dike," is SO called,
because, irrespective of rainfall, the
springs "break" in that month. 1t is
a curious provision of nature that the
water supply should remain pent up
in the hills until wanted. In Dorset
shire the country folk say the springs
burst after high winds. Last year
there was little wind before they
broke, but IN due time they irrigated
the meadows, as they do yearly, gen.
orally about the middle of February,

The Baker Abroad.

The French baker is not only re-
quired to conform to laws regarding
wsight, but he is also told at what
price he must sell his bread. He is
further required to deposit certain
sum of money in the hands of the
municipal authorities as a surety of
good behavior. In the large fortified
cities he has to keep a specified guam
tity of fcnr on hand to provide for
warlike emergencies. In Germany
laws of similar import are in exist

severity that no baker ever dreams of
defying them.

why Red Argers a Fun.

The reason why anything of a red
colcr eXcites and infuriates animals of
the OK family is because red is the
complimentary color of green, and the
eyes of cattle being long fixed on the
green herbage while feeding, when
they espy anything red it impresses
their sight with a greatly increased
intensity. No doubt the same effect
is produced upon all grazing animals
by being suddenly confronted with the
color red, but oxen and bulls, being
more pugnacious, show greater 'ex-
citement, and will even attack that
which surprises them.

FORESTS BURNING AGAIN.
Large Portion of Crow Wing County,
Minnesota, Swept by Fire.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. 27.-More serious
forest fires are reported tonight from the
Crow Wing country, and several fatalities
are feared. A dispatch from Brainerd says
a large part of that county has been laid
waste by the fires which were raging with
terrible fury tnis afternoon, and probably
a dozen farmers in the eastern and south
ern parts of Crow Wing county have lost
nearly all their buildings, and, in some
cases. everything contained in them. Lon
Vincent and his family had a very narrow
escape, and his farmhouse was destroyed.
The only thing John Swanson saved was
his team. County Treasurer John II. Fra
zer suffered greatly, all his farm buildings,
crops and household furniture being de-
stroyed. Albert La Fond lost considerable
grain, with his farm buildings. The farms
of Joseph Meyers, A. ,. De Fall and
George Sangrin have also been reported as
having been devastated
No authentic estimate Of losses Is posi-
bic tonight, but many have lost their en-
tire crop and all their buildings. The flames
spread with the greatest rapidfty. Many
families known to be in the fire belt have
not been heard from, and grave fears are
felt for their safety. The fires are still
burning, but the wind has subsided.

this city to-day on the charges Of forgery
and embezzlement OF over 100000 COM

by detectives without success. Finally an
