run Down Farms ava Their ownecs


There is a very intimate connection
between the land and Its owner. A run
down farm invariably tells bad story
about its owner and the testimony OF
the farm cannot very well be impeach-
ed. The owner may not always be at
fault. Circumstances beyond his con-
troll may have compelled him to take
a course of action Of which his judg.
ment does not approve. Nevertheless,
the fact thnt the farm Is running down
indicates that there Is something wrong
with the owner or occupant, Some
farms run down because Of the bad
system OF farming. In fact In whole
sections the tendency OF the land Is TO
denreciate In value For example, eN-
elusive grain raising results In soil OK
haustlon In whatever section OF the
United States II has been attempted.
Among the first agricultural literature
which we remember reading was what
was then known MS tine Patent Office

known MS the reports OF the department

more than forty years we remember a

The Rebels at Samoa Surrender
But Repent Of Their Bargain.

The last news from Samoa is
that the rebels have decided to
stop fighting and surrendered
their firearms, 200 rifles in all.
After the terms of peace where
agreed on it is said that the rebels
repented Of what they had done
and commenced 10 destroy prop
erty belonging to foreigners. A
late Samoan paper says: 1T has
been stated that the Atua rebels,
who, Notwithstanding the punish
ment inflicted upon them at Atua,
had joined the Aana contingent,
when returning home from this lat
ter place burnt the houses of all
the Government supporters. 1t is
also rumored that the house of Mr..
W. Fraser, a British subject, has
been destroyed and that threats of
the destruction OF other property
owned by British subjects are
being freely made"

THE RESURRECTION.
Cardinal Gibbons Says Nature Sug-
gests It's Reality.

Cardinal Gibbons Says Nature Sug-
gests It's Reality.
Nature itself suggests the reality of
a resurrection. The winter and the
spring are a lively figure of our death
and resurrection. We have observed
during the past winter how the rivers
were frozen and motionless; the
branches of the trees became sapleSs
and leaf1ess; the flowers of the field
were withered; the birds of the air
hads ceased to cheer us with their
song. All nature was silent beneath
her pal 80. But now, in the
spring, the suns heat quickens all
things-the river glides once more
free in it's channel, fresh buds and
leaves clothe the lifeless branches,
the faded grass puts on a fresher,
tenderer green; flowers bloom again,
and birds come forth from their winter
hiding places to chant again their
matin and evening song to their Gre
atOr.
In all this what q striking figure
we have of death and resurrection!
Christ Jesus. who is called the Sun Of
Justice, will exercise upon our bodies
the same influence which the material
sun eXerts on visible and created OBJ
jects. When he shall come in dread
majesty to judge the world. he will
raise to life all that were dead. The
blood frozen within US by the icy hand
of death will again flow in our veins
by the vivifying influence of the Son
of God. Those bones upon which the
rains and SHOWS of centuries shall
have fallen will stand erect and be
clothed with flesh, even as the trees
of the forest with leaves, and that
voice which was hushed in silence
will again find utterance and be ever
afterward engaged in singing the
praises of the Almighty. It matters
not whether our bodies We're buried
| in consecrated ground or cast into
| the ocean to become the food of fishes,
or whether our bones are left to bl"ach
/ in the desert or whether our flesh was
! reduced to ashes and cast to the four
! winds of heaven; those scattered parts
| will again be gathered together by the
! Omnipotent, for he who created us
cut of nothing can form US again. "1t
! is easier" says Tertullian. "tO remake
from old material than to create
| anew"

CIRCUS ANIMALS.
They Are All Costly, But the Horse
Is the Most Valuable.

There is a commerce in wild ami
mails, as nearly every one must know,
but few have any idea of their value,
says a New York letter. This is fixed
by the circuses and travelling men
agerieS of the world, because they are
the largest buyers. AS a matter of
fact, a large part of the animals in
the geological gardens throughout the
country belongs to circuses. Barnum
& Bailey, for instance, own nearly
three eighths Of the animals in the
Central Park menagerie, but they are
practically the city's property, as the
show has no use for them, and they
are left in the park year after year.
James A. Bailey has bought more
animals than any man in this country,
and he is, therefore looked upon as an
authority upon prices. The figures
here given are his. While there is
q fixed scale, which is varied slightly
from time to time by the supply and
demand, there are other things that
regulate prices.
The value Of some animals depends
ouJlEcly upon Tie USES W WHICH, JHcy
; may be put in a show, either eXhibi-
ton or utilitarian. For instance,
Jumbo cost originally $4,000, which
subsequent expenses, including trans
| portation, increased to $4,000. The
! public interest in the great beast in
! creased his value so much that when
! the owner of the big wooden elephant
! at Coney island made q proposition to
rent the elephant for the summer, Mr..
| Bailey made this reply:
Jumbo is worth to our show S3O,OOO
! per week, and we will let you have
him for % weeks for $700,0OO.'
Chico and Johanna, the gorilla and
the chimpanzee, cost $1,000 and $3.50
respectively, but they could not now
be bought for several times that sum
Strange to say, elephants are cheap
est in the United States Of all the
countries on the globe. The reason
for this is that elephants are glu
in the animal market. Not long agt
the Barnum show shipped Is back t.
Europe At that time the show had 4
elephants. It now has 90. The mar
ket price Of ordinary elephants nov
, varies from 81 800 to $4,000, according
to size and temper. At one time Mr.
