The Farm.

The Farm.
Spelman derives the word farm"
from the Saxon 'fearme" OF
..feorme," which signifies food or
provision; as the tenants and coun-
try-people anciently paid their rents
in victuals and other necessaries OF
life. Hence farm was originally .
place which supplied. its owner or
lord with provisions. The word
..fermen is also French, and farm
is probably so called from its being p
arm or fixed possession Of the land
by one who labors on it.

An Extinct Volcano.

On the Island of Maui is Halea-
kala House of the Sum, the largest
known extinct volcano in the world, its
giant crater pit, resembling the yawning
craters in the moon, being twenty-four
miles in circumference and 1900 feet
deep. Sixteen subsidiary cones rise from
it's bed, some solitary, others in clusters.
The base of the mountain itself has a
circumference of ninety miles. On the
Island of Molokai is Kalamao, a fertile
valley of about 10000 acres, walled in
by precipices 5000 feet high.
Here is the home of the lepers. All

A Partisan Newspaper Novelty.

A farthing newspaper is the latest
novelty in Paris. 1t is called La Vie,
and is edited by Pol Martinez, an an
archist, who has spent no inconsiderable
part of his life in prison for his violent
writings. AS a farthing, or, to speak
more precisely, a % centime piece, is un-
known to the French currency, the new
venture is faced at the outset by Sc
rious practical difficulty, but the pro-
jector gets over it in rather ingenious
fashion. The paper is to be printed in
two different colors, each color being
used on alternate days. Purchasers of a
paper of one color will be charged a
halfpenny, but they will get in exchange
for it on the following day, without
further charge, the paper of the other
color.-London Daily News.

The Punishment of Crime.

Colossal organizations with lavish ap-
preparations are in the field for the pur-
pose of suppressing crime and pauper-
ism. Until within few years this
great army has been officered by the
church, and plans of campaign have
been mapped by it. Slowly the public
intelligence is awakening to the fact
that these methods have been ridiculous
ly inadequate, as proof exists that crime
and pauperism are steadily increasing.
The law of indefinite terms of impris-
onment for criminals committed for 6,
third offense has been the wisest prison
law ever passed, for by such a law
criminals are the longer prevented from
the chance of perpetuating their evil
traits; and yet in Massachusetts, there
are sentimentalists who oppose the
enactment of this law.-Professor e. S.
Morse in Popular Science Monthly.

THE ANGLER FISH.
It Secures It's Prey Like an Artist, with
Regular Strategy.

It Secures It's Prey Like an Artist, with
Regular Strategy.
There is fish that secures its prev
like an artist, with regular strategy,
and, strange to relate, nature has fur
nished it with a full equipment for the
purpose, rod, line and bait. The an
gler, as it is called, is by no means a
beauty. 1t is about yard long and
has a huge, toadlike head, an enor-
nous, gaping mouth and formidable
array of teeth. The first dorsal, or back
fin, is almost wholly wanting, its place
being occupied by two or three long,
slender, movable spines which are fas-
tened to the body by means of Joints.
One is attached by hinge, which per-
mits of only backward and forward mo-
tion.
The first spine is connected by reg
ular ring and staple and admits of
movement in all directions, as it is pull
ed this way or that by the muscles.
This is the angler pole, which contin-
ues into fine filament or line, and at
the end there is loose, shining slip Of
membrane, which plays the part of a
bait.
The angler fish is a slow swimmer, and
1t would have but little success if it had
to chase the swift, active fishes upon
which it feeds, so it snares them. Par
TALLY hiding itself in the mud or sand,
1t waves its long filaments with their
glittering tips. As is we'll known, fishes
are attracted by glistening objects
moved about in the water The neigh
boring fishes, following the instincts Of
their inquisitive nature, come to exam
inc the curious object, and suddenly
they find themselves snapped up in the
wide jaws of their hidden foe.
The angler is very voracious crea-
ture, and ON several occasions it has
been known to seize fish that had been
hooked and was being drawn to the
surface. In one such case the angler
seized Goldfish and would not loosen
its grip until it was struck on the head
with boathook. On another occasion
the fish fell victim to its own glut-
tony, for having dashed at a conger eel
that had just been hooked, and having
taken it into its mouth, the eel con-
trived to escape through one of the gill
apertures, and thus it was the uncon-
scious means of involving its captor in
its own fate
Even the cork floats on lines and nets
have been swallowed by the greedy
fish, and when taken in a net it de-
yours its fellow prisoners with perfect
unconcern. Mary M. Friend in Phila-
delphia Times.

A Stag Steam Generator,

A Stag steam generator, for utilizing
the waste heat contained in the furnace
Stag for the production of steam for mo-
tive power purposes, has been designed
by an Australian inventor. The ma
chine consists Of steel shell in the
form of strong egg ended receiver,
having fattened faces on the top and
bottom, and through these fiat portions
a number of Galloway tubes arranged
in two rows and tapered from inches
at the top to 10 inches at the bottom
are passed, secured to the shell by
fanges. Tine lower or larger end of each
tube is closed by means of cast iron
door manipulated by means of con-
venient lever, and the upper end of each
tube is provided with a funnel for con-
veying the Stag into the tubes, pair of
iron rails also passing across the upper
face of the boiler and all the tunnels,
thus serving as a track for the Stag
pots. At each end of the boiler bin
is provided, into which the skin of the
Stag is dumped, which always sets on
the cast iron pots from which it is pour
ed, and this redhot material lying
against the ends of the boiler plates
serves to conserve the heat.-New York

TattOOed by Lightning.

Sunday |. Hough, laborer at Castle
Rock, was driving pin in the ground
with hatchet when bolt of light
ming descended from clear sky and
struck him. The top was taken off his
hat and consumed and the rim of the
hat was split. His hair was singed all
over his-head, and upon the crown it is
burned in precisely the shape of tom
sure, a spot about the size of a quarter
being left wholly bare. A livid mark
is left across his breast from shoulder
to shoulder, and directly above his heart
q hole was burned in his shirt. Around
the body, below the waist, extends a
belt of flesh about four inches wide,
black and blue and dotted with numer-
GUS small holes. Down his back and
legs are streaks, and the inside of his
legs are burned. Hough remained un-
conscious till 10 o'clock, when he recov-
cred his senses and is still alive.-Den-

HEALTH BETTER THAN WEALTH..
And You Can't Retain the Former and Give
Exercise the Go by.

And You Can't Retain the Former a id Give
Exercise the Go by.
DIR. A. Symons Eccles has struck the
keynote of radical improvement in the
general health of city communities
when he says that the most potent fac
tor of present day ailments is the abey-
ance into which the muscular system is
allowed to fall by dwellers in cities,
who are daily becoming more and more
dependent ON artificial means of loco
motion and labor saving apparatus, un-
til disorders of digestion and nervous
maladies are now as common among
the comparatively poor as they are
among the wealthy. The rich man en-
deavors to overcome the mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse
back exercise or golf, but the poorer
man, who is unable to afford these recre-
ations, neglects his muscular develop
ment and invariably tumbles into his
train or mounts his street car rather
than waste the time necessary for u
brisk walk or half hour in the gym
nasium.
The popularity of the bicycle has
tSiiVNo w touhtVidet thp oiobop Vi ihdo-
cles engendered in a large proportion of
town residents, but there are still num-
bers of persons of both sexes who re-
quire vigorous muscular exercise in or
der to maintain health. Women are
the victims of modern, social and COM
mercial changes almost il not quite as
much as men. Tho Capitalization Of
many domestic industries may have i'm
proved the character of the products
thrs manufactured or of the work per-
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done at home the female
members of many families fairly we'll
off, but not too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, were profitably en-
ployed in kneading the dough and IRON
ing the linen. One of the results Of
this general disinclination to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival of a practice which is re-
corded in the earliest medical papyrus
in the British museum.
The introduction of massage may be
regarded as specific evidence of the ten
dency in these latter days to the neglect
of muscular exercise, and DR.. Eccles
holds that if it be true that the abey-
ance of function in certain glands is
productive of diseases which can be
cured by the injection of organic llq-
uids derived from a similar source
and modern research has established this
belief-much more is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bulk
of muscular tissue, which is 80 large
portion of the human frame, will, and
invariably does, give rise to disordered
function and altered structure in the
other organs and tissues of the body,
which are interdependent on the activ-
ity of the muscles and each other. Men,
tai and nervous overstrain is rarely
lisassociated from muscular disuse and
faccidity. The burden of DR.. Eccles'
exhortation is: Even if you make a
little less money, take more exercise.
You will save the difference in doctors
bills and bring more happiness not only
into your own life, but into other peo-
ple's. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

ONE SHORT HOUR.

To high and low there comes an hour
That rules them all with equal power;
They may be dull, they may be learned,
Full sweetly sought, full sourly spurned;
But in that hour, with doubt replcte,
Not one is braced by self conceit.
A MANI He looks upon maid
Enslaved, desiring, but afraid;
Regards her face, believes it fair,
And longs to put loves token there;
But "Oh, too dear! and oh, too good!
dare not, though wish could"
A maid? She marks her favorite swain
With pleasure, though much more with
pain;
And thinks what bliss her bliss must be
Who wins one kiss from such as he;
And chides herself for thought SO rude,
Yet, trembling, wishes that he would
Brief bashful mood, so sweet and shy
You're doomed of soft success to die;
For soon the maid, and soon the man,
Will know he will, will know he can.
And self, its little exile DER,
Return to rule for evermore.

The Walls of Jerusalem.

The lofty wall of Jerusalem and the
massive towers of the citadel are i'm
mediately before us. We are on the
outer slope of Mount Zion, the sanctu-
ary and the abode of David. The pom
derous blocks which form the lower
strata of the wall might have been
shaped and put in place by some pre-
historic race of giants. More than al
most anything else to be found around
Jerusalem, or within, this wall bears
an appearance of great antiquity. We
can easily believe that its foundations
were laid in the time of David, though
its upper portions are unquestionably
modern.
The books vary. One says it was the
work of Sultan Suleiman in the six
teenth century, another that it was
erected much earlier, and my guide,
most intelligent and well informed Jew
of Hungarian origin, told me that it
was built by the crusaders after they
had got possession, for the purpose of
protecting the inhabitants against the
rascally Arabs, who would ride up in
small parties, rob some rich family and
be off with their plunder before any
thing could be done to stop them. But,
however this may be, the wall, from
16 to 90 feet in height, fully incloses
the town, and although it could soon be
knocked to pieces by 10 FOUNDER can

A Thought for tho City Relation.

Statistics show that insane asylums
are peopled from the ranks of farmers
wives more than from any other source.
No person can consider this without
feeling sorry. The feeling is the same
we experience for the overburdened car
horse. His usefulness is great, but he is
unappreciated, and one day he will
break down and another will take his
place in the hard lot to which he was
born.
The city cousins who spend the sum-
mer with the farmers wife have no wish
to exchange places with her. OF all
women she is the most versatile. She
can grease a wagon, whitewash the
chicken coop, paper a wall, drive the
clod crusher, harness horse, be nurse,
dairymaid, laundress, cook, housemaid,
seamstress and advisory committee on
all farm work outside and in.
She knows very little about the ad-
yancement of women or the change of
fashions. From seedtime to harvest
she does her duty patiently each day,
and from year to year she fills the cellar
with jam, preserves and apple butter
until her poor overtaxed nervous system
cries out-and what then?
Do you do anything to vary the mo-
notony of her life save to bestow your
presence and approval in the summer
time?
What are you going to take her be-
sides your approval and perchance your
board money? -~4 ~
