It is very uncommon sight to see Q
shat ,by and unpretentious farm house.
The re are none of those old delapidated
bull dings that characterize the country
gen. .rally, but new and up to date struc-
lures. We fatter ourselves that our
farn aers are the most prosperous on
cart h and the most hospitable. Their
poss ,ibllities are greater than any section
we know of and here, at least, they
hold that position. They stand as first
in Fl nancial as well as social circles.
Va wish we had space to mention
more Of our friends, but must suffice
witla few.
A mother thing our farmers are cele-

unusual to find hogs weighing 500 lbs
and over.

An Anecdoto Of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story Of the influence that Language
'hard. to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally jostled
against an Irish NAVY, who, being in q
quarrelsome mood, seemed inclined to
attack the poet. A crowd Of ragged sym
pathizers began to gather, when Shell.

began to question him. What bar

for this remedy, which, however, It is
needless TO say, will not operate success

But the church school party in Great

Bnt IN order to improve their condi-

work on themselves. Whether reckless
ness in money matters is necessary at.
tendant on the artistic temperament is
not clear, but the fact stands that actors
are generally wildly improvident. So
true is this that it is almost reproach

money. Many seem somehow to feel q

consider him miser and ourmudgeon.

No union of any kind will ever help
financially anybody who is reckless in
money matters. It is one Of the first
duties Of every human being, no matter
who or what he is, to save money enough
to take care Of him in sickness, hard
times and old age. The persons who
sneer at him for being . miser when he
does this would be the very last ones to-

Harvard and Yale Game.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 90
The possibility of a football game
between Harvard and Yale Is the
one topic here. tits admitted that
very recently negotiations looking
toward game had been set on
foot, but only between interested
graduates of both colleges. 1t is
positively denied that there has
been any personal correspondence
between Captains Thorne and
Brewer on the subject.
This much has been determined
in view of the remote possibility
that a game may be arranged, any
game between Harvard and Yale
must be arranged before October
Is, and it will be played Nov. 3,
either at Cambridge or at New
Haven, probably the latter place.
After October Is, Harvard will
absolutely refuse to consider ne
gotiations for game.
