An Unpopular Trip.

Col. McCrory was once travelling on
railroad train as q plutocratic Occu-
pant OF a Pullman. In this car were
two people with whom he was &C
quainted. One was Miss Rachel Sher-
man, daughter OF "Tecumseh, and
the other Gen. NJ. C. Butler, now
Senator from South Carolina. The
Colonel, naturally, with his we'll
known gallantry, did all in his power
to relieve the tedium of the young
lady's journey. until certain acute
cravings drove him to the smoking
room, where he found his old friend,
Senator Butler, too willing to join
him with a cigar. During their con-
yerSation the Senator asked:
Colonel, who is that Incorporating
girl with whom you were talking when
first saw your"

Colonel, us Miss Rachel Sherman.
"Any relation to the SENATOR"
asked Butler.
"No: daughter of Gen. William Te-

who had known of Sherman during
the war in way that was not al
ways agreeable to him. I'D like to
meet her. viii you kindly introduce
me?"
Certainly. with pleasure, answered
the Colonel, and he threw away his
cigar and took the Senator into the
car and introduced him to the young
lady. They began to chat on different
subjects and were very much interest

ly Miss Sherman said:

about it than do. What is the gen.

PROGRESS Of Agriculture.

The average Of wages has risen 90
per cent. since 1870. and at the same
time the accumulation Of urban wealth
per head has been Is per cent. more
than in the period from 1850 to 1870,
which shows that the rise In wealth and
the increase of wages go almost hand
In hand. But the farmer has neverthe.
less a corresponding advantage, for his
life is healthier one, the statistics Of
mortality showing that the death rate
In American cities, especially among
children. is greatly in excess Of that Of
rural districts. The farmer may make
money more slowly, but he has safer
aud less agitated life, and his children
grow up around him in afiiuence and
comfort. The census of 1890 showed
that the United States had 4,560, 600
farmers, the aggregate value Of whose
farms, cattle and implements summed
up 1892 millions of dollars, giving to
each an average fortune of $3,1O5,
most Of these men having begun on a
capital Of q couple Of hundred dollars.
The number Of new farms created since
1860 has been 100000, bringing into
cultivation 195, O0O, 900 acres, and the
greater part OF this work has been done
by European settlers. In fact II the
United States had no urban population
or industries whatever, the advance OF
agricultural interests would be enough
70 claim the admiration Of mankind. fol

Poisoned by Thimbles.

Says a teacher OF sewing school:
"Girls VIII. sew for living often suf-
fer soreness in what is sometimes
called the thimble finger, and serious
inflammation and swelling is often
the result. No sewing girl or woman
should let herself be tempted by the
low price of thimbles which are COM
posed Of lead or something equally
injurious. Silver or plated thimbles
are very much the best and safest,
and when these are too expensive a
good substitute can be found in a
highly Furnished steel thimble. For
practical everyday use this latter
kind is the most convenient, but pew
ter or lead should never be used, es-
pecially by people whose flesh is slow
to heal after scratch or cut"
