Not Il Joke.

Led on by the comic papers and the
humorous paragrapher for the daily
press, our people have been inclined
to take light and facetious view of the
American tramp. In point Of fact, he
is personally sodden, impudent and in
tolerable; while, taken in the aggregate,
he presents really. serious problem.
Prof. McCook, who has made'a thor
ough study Of the matter, says that
there are about forty-six thousand
tramps now in this country, and that
the number is constantly increasing.
To support this horde of vagabonds
costs the country something like $S,OOO,-
900 year. Indirectly they probably
cause the loss Of a still larger amount.
Worse than II 3. they form peripa-

real tramp is easily to be distinguished

The Dog Answered.

The steamer Forest Queen, Sunday,
had an excursion party from Bidde-
ford on board, and at the request of
some of the excursionists Capt. Oliver
ran out by Wood Island. AS he passed
the light he saluted it with the custom
airy three whistles. Scarcely had the
echoes died away when dog dashed
out Of the lighthouse and ran at full
speed toward the fog bell. He was fol
lowed by man. 1t is needless to say
that the dog arrived at the bell first,
and he Immediately began to jump into
the air as though trying to reach some
thing. When the man arrived on the
spot it was readily seen what the trou-
BILE was. The bell rope was hung upon
q nail and the dog could not reach 1t.
However, as soon as the man removed
the rope from the nail the dog seized
1t in his teeth, and with great deal Of
apparent satisfaction answered the
steamers salute. The dog knows his
business, and never fails to return n
steamers salute.-Daily Eastern Argus.

Use Too Much Seed.

Glenn Gun, an Oshtemo, Mich. farm
err, had always argued that farmers
used too much seed wheat per acre,
and concluded to try little experiment
this season. He carefully weighed out
an ounce of wheat and the same amount
of rye, sowing the grain with a drill,
one kernel in a place. and six inches
apart. His neighbors ridiculed the idea
of planting grain in such manner, but
Gun has just thrashed his miniature
crop and found his wheat yield to be
eighty-six ounces, while the rye turned
out six ounces more. The skeptical
neighbors were convinced and the pres
ent methods of wheat culture are likely
to undergo a change in that immediate
region.
