Sir, this is the birthday of Thomas

years ago today he came into the world,
the greatest emancipation of thought, phi
losopher of liberty, and teacher of the
natural rights of man ever known in hui

freedom, justice and equality in govern
ment are yet resounding throughout the
earth, and they will never cease to be
heard until the last shackle of privilege
and tyranny is broken Ten days before
his soul took fight from his mountain

Henry Ward Beecher,a Widow.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has a
complexion which bellies her 80 years
Her hair is white and her cheeks pink
and white. A pretty capof honiton lace,
bright with blue ribbons, gives an added
charm to her face. Her toilet is adorned
with a modest display Of old-style jew
elry, a pearl brooch and two old rings
with old-time settings, one an amethyst,
the other diamond. Mrs. Beecher, in
common with many other well-known
people, is in receipt of numerous begging
letters of various descriptions. Not long
ago the manuscript of story was sent to
her, accompanied by note, in which the
writer declared, in no very polished terms
that the rich should help the poor, and
that she was very poor indeed, but
whether 1t was ton of coal or a new
bonnet of which she was in pursuit she
did not mention, but she wanted Mrs.
Beecher to get her manuscript published

KENTUCKY HOSPITALITY.
A Southern Woman's Joke on q Northern
Party.

"A southern WOmAn's Joke on Northern
Party.
Some time ago a prominent society
woman entertained number of New
York swe)ls at what she termed South
ern" dinner party, says the Louisville
Courier-J Journal. The young men had
already expressed themselves as woefnlly
ignorant about Southern customs, and
were surprised when they did not find
the young women carrying whiskey TASKS
and riding horseback exclusively.
The hostess, seeing their disappoint-
ment determined to give them supper
that they would remember. She invited
few congenial spirits, and planned
menu such as would be looked for on the
table Of a cornfield African. The table,
cloth was coarse one, with the loudest
red stripes across it. Ironstone plates,
two-pronged forks and odd caseknives
and pewter spoons were put around the
board.
The tea service was also quite dilapi-
dated, and a broken-mouthed cream
pitcher completed the picture. The
food, consisting Of boiled cabbage, po-
tatoes In jackets, chunks Of pork, stewed
pigs feet, boiled onions, lettuce served
with tomatoes, &c, was placed on the
table in large dishes. There were no
biscuits, but white-eyed young "darky''
passed corn-dodgers around. For dessert
New Orleans molasses and apple dump
lings were served with cider. There
were no napkins, and the young men
had to use their pocket-handkerchiefs.
The home guests enjoyed the joke i'm
mensely, but the looks Of Disgust cast
upon the table by the New Workers were
study. After supper they were invited
into the parlor, where bucket Of
whisky was set in the middle of table
Glasses were handed them and they
were told to dip in and be sociable. Nc
doubt these young men have been re.
calling the club circles Of the nations me
tropolis by describing our horrid back
woods way down in Kentucky.

What Has Caused the Price of w DOL to Fall
Eror,, h a Rurol Naw yOrhar

What Has Caused the Price of w DOL to Fall
From the Rural New Yorker.
Sheep have always been an important
factor in the development of this nation.
More than nine-tenths of our clothing ia
secondhand from their backs, and NUT
ton has formed large part OF our food.
The time was, and not very far in the
past, when the principal income from the
flock was from the wool. When I'M
washed wool sold quickly at 40 or more
cents per pound, according to it's fineness,
the whole energy of the sheep owners
was devoted to the production OF the
heaviest fleece of the finest staple. AS
the belief was common that the yield OF
wool was in proportion to the area of
skin, the craze for wrinkles was carried
to such an extent that in some cases as
much as two full shins were found on q
single carcass.
But change has came over the sheep
industry. By the settlement Of Australia
and other countHes and the stocking Of
cheap lands with fnnumerable sheep, the
production of wool so increased as to give
the world an over supply. Down, down,
went the price until, in spite Of the pro-
lection to the American growers by the
provision OF the Mckinley bill, our fin
est grades of American Merino wool un-
washed, sold for from Is to % cents per
pound. Happily for the future of the
industry, as the price OF wool has gone
down. the consumption of mutton has
increased. Our people are becoming
aware that It is the freest from disease,
the most nutritious and healthful, of all
animal foods. Careful experiments have
demonstrated the fact that a pound OF
mutton can be produced at less cost than
flesh of any other kind. While wool is
lower than ever before, it is an encour-
aging fact and one that should stimulate
the sheep owners, that prime mutton is
now selling for more money than either
beef or pork and its consumption Is in
creasin9 much faster than the growth oil
population. Sheep owners, then, should
not be discouraged, but look the situation
squarely in the face. Realize that con.
ditions have changed that in the future
mutton must be the chief end and aim
of this business. While he should moi
wholly ignore the growth Of wool. tbs
J breeder must recognize the fact tha
fashions change even az regards the kind
Of wool wanted. What is now in demand
are not fine, heavy fleeces, but the lighter
I. coarser wools-the medium. In the fu
ture, to get profit from the flock will re
quire the largest growth of the best NUT
ton, that carrying the best fleece O
medium wool and which can be produce,
} for the least money!

Last year farmers received but little

their wheat, while in many instances
the return per bushel was smaller than
the expenditure. This can only have
one effect. The encouragement OF wheat
producers and the consequent decrease OF
acreage. II there is q decrease of 10 per

A Woman who wearied of Housed keeping
and Gave II Up for Good.
1t was nearly fifty years ago that
woman living in an eastern Somerset
town hung up her dishcloth one morning
after washing the breakfast dishes, with
the emphatic declaration: "There, Pm
not going to do any more work, says the
Lewiston Journal.
She was the wife OF farmer in very
modest circumstances, was middle-aged,
was the mother Of large family Of chill
dren. Before that time she had been
very industrious.
She was az good as her word, and from
that day did nothing more than to dress
herself and attend to her own toilet. Her
daughters first, and later her sons wives,
took the burden upon themselves OF pro-
viding for her wants, and SO she has
lived ever since.
Her days spent from morning till night
in idleness never seem to wear upon her
with their monotony as they would most
people, and she seldom seems anything
but cheerful. She is now nearly ninety,
and appears to be, az she has ever been,
in the best Of health.
