The LINCOLN WAY.

There Is more trouble In Lincoln. In
stead OF conducting the town on business
principles az was done by such men as
Charles Moies, Jonathan Chace, Alfred
Littlefield, Henry stearns, Frederick Goff
and men who had sound sense, the new
regime Is astonishing the people. Judge
Goff said very iorcibly at the fire ward
election In his terse wav when the In
crease Of policemen came up: "what we
want is quality; we have enough In guam. q.
tity."
This saying has gone broadcast
throughout the town OF Lincoln and the
taxpayers are digesting it. The fact APP
pears to be that the new men are hungry
for the loaves and fishes and that those
who made bad political combinations for
the sake OF winning are now sorry fol
their bargaining.

GOOD TIMES ARE COMING.

The revival OF business is signalled on
all sides. The Republican panic howlers
are beginning to hideth faces and to

smallest use in disputing facts; and the
facts are that the wheels are turning once
more, the hammer rings on the anvil, and
the cheerful hum OF the loom is abroad
IN the land.

Iy through, and end all the agitation and

THE WILSON BILL.

There are tariff reformers and tariff
reformers. Some ere free traders
and some are not. But the
wisest OF them, free traders and all, agree
on the Wilson bill. The reason Ia that
the tariff should be gradually reduced so
that no one will suffer from too sudden a
change from the extreme stimulation and
consequent over production caused by
the Mckinley Aldrich tariff. The change
must be made gradually as any person OF
sense can see. The tariff was originally
increased as a war measure. IL Is now
kept up chiefly to help monopoles and
pay large salaries to an army OF useless
Office holders.

mot less than 95 per cent of our
farmers make success of farming"
Those are the words of an Iowa farmer
who spoke before the Iowa senate COM
mittee on agriculture. Statistics show
very convincingly that In business pur-
suits only 5 per cent. of those who un.
dertake the different lines are success
full. There is, then, vast difference
between farming and other kinds of
business SO far as a surety of achieving
success is concerned. There is so large
difference that comparison should
convince more persons that to till the
soil is practically the sure road TO sue
cess and, consequently, the best. The
late extreme depression in business has
hardly been felt by the farmers, and
even where it was manifest To them il
was noticed in its effects on the surplus
which was TO be put aside as savings
not being noticed SO far as the enjoy
ment of necessities and comforts were
concerned, On this one particular
point the farmers stand so far in adj
vance of strugglers in other ventures
that comparison is almost impossible.
The difference between absolute safety
and possible want is too much to put
into language. Figures can never COM
pute It, Artists cannot paint it. 1t
must be felt TO be appreciated and TO
feel that sense of surety is to enjoy
more of life than even the abundantly
successful business adventurer can
ii l.. IL e
words Of the Iowa farmer may seem
overdrawn, but even if they are by 20
or so per cent. there would still be a
heavy balance in favor of farming.
The conclusion is easy that agriculture
is the one line of industry not over
crowd ed, which, in fact, cannot be
overdone in this country within the
life of any person now living. 1t will
take years TO strike a balance between
90 and per cent, SO that farming will
be on Il par with mercantile pursuits
as to uncertainty. AS n matter of fact,
that time need never be expected.
Meanwhile every effort put forth to
keep young men on the farms or to
get families out of the towns on TO the
farms is in the in terest of permanent
national prosperity, TO say nothing of
personal comforts and safety. Every
day the tide is turning toward the ru-
raj districts. The prices of farms will
gradually go up as the demand for
such homes increases. That has al
ways been the effect following n fnan-
cial depression. The value of suitable
stock for beginning farming operations
will also rise as the popularity of farm
ing grows upon the people. The ncces-
sity for immediate action can be easily
recognized under the existing circum-
stances The prophecy will hardly be
doubted, that there will be 10, if not
80, per cent. less abandoned farms"
in New Hampshire at the end of this
year than on this date. If that be true
the financial difficulties will not have
come upon the people in vain.-Man-
chester N. H. Union.

ONE good horse means profit and
pleasure, dozen ordinary ones mean

GooD looks go long way towards a
desirab price and the greatest source
of good looks is good care.
TIE care and keep of the colts from
infancy TO selling age affect their value
more than most breeders realize.
THERE is large surplus of horses in
the country, but they are of the kind
horse buyers do not want to invest in.
a BREEDER who wishes to succeed
should breed only the best to the best,
and take care of both pedigree and in
dividuality as he proceeds.
A PERFECT horse cannot be bred from
an imperfect one, or high class one
from u mare or sire possessed of prom
inent faults and imperfections.
Don't expect to have good strong
yearlings and two-year-olds when
spring comes unless you feed plenty of
clean, wholesome food during the
winter.
The man who breeds horses intelli-
gently, breaks them carefully, teaches
them thoroughly and develops their
speed will always find profit in the

EGYPTIAN DREssMAKER's BILL.

in the pyramid age. The startling
feature of the discoveries resulting
from the decipherment of the cunei-
form inscriptions has been the numer-
Gus details Of popular life which are
accessible to us. The little clay tab
lets not only contain the record of
kings and princes, but even of the
poorest of the people, slaves and beg
CARS. In SO great a literary land as
Chaldea every transaction, no matter
how small, was recorded in writing,
and thus we have many details of
transactions which would otherwise
have been forever lost. Among the
documents which have been discovered
is tablet which may be well called
1.-The oldest dressmaker's bill in the
world 1t was the custom of the
Babylonian kings TO present to the
temples sets of robes for the use OF the
priests and priestesses. This was
usually done every year, and we have
many of these lists in the British
museum. The oldest hitherto known
has been that Of a king, about 1450 Il.
c. There are several of later period,

than any yet found.
The tablet, which is of limestone,
was discovered in the ruins of the tenn
pie in the city of Nipur in southern
Chaldea. This temple was dedicated
TO the ghost god and had very large
priesthood attached to it. From the
style of writing, which is extremely
archaic. and from the curious system
of numerals employed, the table can
not be of later date than $500 Il. c. 1t
contains list of ninety-two vestments
which were presented TO the temple by
the king. The name of the king is UNI
fortunately not given. The end of the
tablet reads: In all ninety-two pure
vestments, the bill Dist of the temple
for the priests this year Many of the
words are unknown TO us, as they are,
no doubt. many of them technical
terms employed by the modistes of the
period. Some of the lines, however,
are of particular interest-those that
can be satisfactorily deciphcred
Among the items are: Twelve white
robes of the temple, eight robes of the
house of his lady, ten pure gold col
lars, two wide robes" One item of
especial interest occurs near the end:
"Four scented robes" This reminds
us OF the passage in Psalm xiv, speak
ing of the robes redolent of "myrrh
and aloes and cassia." 1t was, no
doubt, the custom in Babylonia TO per-
fume the robes, as it is to this day in
Persia and India. Another item is also
illustrative of eastern life Two
winders," probably scarfs used for
binding round the waist. This docu-
ment has likewise an additional value
in showing us the great development
which had taken place in the textile
arts in Chaldea even at this early
period. The decorations on the statues
of Gudea (B. c. $500, the embroidered
fringes, show that the skill of the
weaver and the embroiderer was far
advanced, and it is curious feature
20 notice that nearly all the attempts
at decorative work in early Chaldea are
in patterns which are derived from
textile designs.

not suffocate, and thousands of them
hang on the outside of the hive for air

hive may enter the surplus honey boxes
or cham Der, to enable the bees to elab-
crate wax and make comb; that, in
case the bees are carrying in honey
very rapidly, one set of boxes may be
raised and another set placed under
them; that there be no place in the
hive where the miller moth can con-
ceal itself; that there be no space be-
tween the top of the combs and bottom
OF the honey boxes, except single quar-
ter of an inch; that the bees may enter
the surplus honey boxes from any part
of hive without creeping through a hole
in the honey board; that all openings
OF the hive be guarded with slide or
button; that the boxes be covered with
light cap to exclude the chilly air at
night as well as the excessive heat of
the MONDAY sun, with a ventilation at
each end to be opened on hot days and
allow current of air to pass over the
honey boxes, permitting the excessive
heat of the hive to escape in summer
and in winter to carry off the moisture
generated by the bees Farmers Voice.

Paner for a RelrOOm.

Dainty bedroom papers are much in
demand, and wonderfully beautiful
some of them are. The one fault in
rooms of any size is lack of character
and somewhat faded ensemble, but
even that has been obviated by a clever
device. In the home of a recent bride
of artistic tastes the walls of the guest
room are papered with design of pale
pink upon n creamy, white ground,
and the defect of too pale tints is en-
tirely overcome by bordering of olive
cartridge paper. Each of the four
walls has become a panel, and the
plain tint runs around all sides, so
that the sweet, tender pinks are in
closed in a frame and the room as a
whole gains the dignity that is desired.

Mistakes in Horse Breeding.

Farmers make mistake in breeding
when they raise horses to please them
selves. They must breed to suit the
market. The outlook for breeding is
better now than it has been, because
the knife is being more freely used on
poor stations every dav and quality
and individuality of horses is being
constantly raised in consequence. Peo-
pie who are fond of driving want
stylish animals, and it will pay the
farmer to breed for that standard.
Then after they are bred it will pay to
bit them thoroughly, match them up.
accustom them to sights and sounds I'M
city and country and condition them
so that they will be ready for work as
soon as sold Troy On. W Times.
