VOICES OF GREAT MEN.

Goldsmith had singing voice OF
great purity, and it was treat to hear
him render an old Irish air, which he
did in inimitable style.
DR.. JOHNSON had loud, harsh, die
tatorial voice. When excited in argu-
ment, he raised his voice and over
whclmed his opponent by its strength.
TALLEYRAND could throw more pathos
into single word than another man
could express in dozen sentences. He
was a master of elocution.
WASHINGTON had q slow, deliberate
way of speaking. His voice was low,
but strong, his words were always well
chosen and his tones carefully modu-
lated.
CICERO had n voice 30 pleasant that
whenever it was known he was to
speak, though only in ali ordinary law
case, the court Immediately filed with
people.
THE poet Rogers had voice SO small
and weak that, MS he said himself, he
was forced to say caustic and ill-natured
things, in order to make people hear
him.
CAFFAREILI thought so much OF his
voice that once when challenged to
fight duel he refused on the ground
chat he had no right to expose to any
risk the life of so great q singer. Globe

Use of Tobacco in Illness.

If tobacco has been violently de-
nounced it has had ardent defenders
The most recent of them, however, DR..
Ludwig Jankau, of Munich, drops the
apologize tone and stoutly maintains
that tobacco is not merely permissible,
but is actually indicated in the case of
the sick and convalescent under GER
tain conditions. After surgical opera
tions, for instance-except those on the
abdomen or Understanding is bene-
fetal If the patient feels the desire for
it. In diseases of the eyes and mouth
tobacco should be forbidden, but in
such cases the patient is not likely to
wish to smoke. In peritonitis, typh-
litis and perityphlitis smoking is also
likely to be harmful. In organic dis
eases of the heart mild tobacco may be
allowed in moderation to patients who
have been smokers from early life. In
the early stages of phthisis smoking is
often useful, owing to its undoubted
bactericidal power. DR.. JanlSau thinks
it retards the development of the dis

ice in affections of the mouth, but the

Classically New.

Any bodice is not put in style by the
addition of a futed front of black chif-
fon enriched by bands and lines of jet.
These fronts are cleverly made to fit
close to the figure under the arms along
the front half of the armhole. When
adjusted they appear to be part Of
bodice worn. A high solid jet collar
over which the front droops, complete
the accessory. The woman with a
handsome throat will do well to adopt
the fashion of having the top of her
gown finished, not with high collar,
but with a scrolled design of gold or
jet. A really classic effect is given
thus to any gown, and nothing SO en-
phasizes the beauty of the throat and
the set of the head. A belt that will
Ierve to make the waist small can be

FARM MANAGEMENT.
Some Cogent Objections 10 Hlt-and-Mias
HuhinesA Methods,

some Cogent Objections TO Hit-and-Mias
business Methods.
In these days OF sharp competition
narrow margins Of profit, close calch-
sation and the application of mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy to the conduct OF al
most all human occupation, it is as
tonishing that the business of farming
is still carried on in such loose way
In many cases II is largely guess
work.
Every merchant and manufacturer
knows that to escape bankruptcy he
must clearly observe business princi-
pies, and must at least keep ac-
counts, simple perhaps, but complete
and accurate. On the contrary,
many farmers don't even keep cash
account; they know how much money
is in the wallet, but beyond this their
financial affairs are very misty, and
the income and outgo judged only by
guessing, more or less shrewd. Yet
farming is a business; indeed, it is the
business of the country, upon the gem
eral success (which all others depend.
The farmer is manufacturer, and
merchant, and much more. OF all per-
sons he is the one who should conduct
his affairs on the strictest business
principles The very fact that farm
ers who often utterly disregard funda-
mental business maxims and methods,
without utter ruin, is in itself the
strongest evidence that 1t Is business
Offering unusual security and Il wide
margin of profit when properly man
aged.
Every farmers boy knows all the
tables of weights and measures "by
heart" but how little these are used on
the farm. Even the size of the farm
itself is matter of uncertainty, de-
pendent upon an old and unverifed
deed or the books of the assessor.
There is no accurate knowledge of the
size of the various fields or their
actual product; it is all guess work.
The farmer gusses which COW gives the
most, and guesses which is losing
weight and which gaining, and guesses
which gives the most milk in a
year, and guesses which milk is
the richest, and so guesses at the
merits and profits of all his stock,
with very little actual knowledge as
to any, and making frequent serious
mistakes which are never known. And
in the house they guess the cream Is
just warm enough to churn, and guess
it won't pay to become patrons of the
creamery. 1t is wonder that clocks
and watches are ever used in such
places, instead of depending upon the
sun and guessing at the time of the
day in cloudy weather.
A tape line, or a surveyors chain
in foot lengths is an inexpen-
sive article, and every farm should
have one and use it, that the
size of every field may be &C.
curatly measured and recorded, and the
exact average of every crop known. not
guessed at. And to apply the ordinary
prudence and system to ones business
affairs, the farm equipment should in,
clude scales of such capacity and va
riety as to enable complete record Of
everything going into the barn OF
storehouse, and of everything con
sumed or sold. In place of estimate.
and rough guesses there should be {

renee on the farm which involves tim,

Intelligent Dairying and Prosperity Go

farmers who are largely interested in
the dairy industry and / will show
you community of prosperous and
happy people, no mortgages on their
farms, plenty of money, children prop
erly educated, and all enjoying the

materially affect them. On the other
hand, in a community where the COW
is left out or is of secondary consider
alton, where they keep but few, and
those not half cared for, picking up
their own living in the winter from
corn fields or straw stacks, where they
make little butter and trade it at the
stores for groceries, kick at the cream

cows, and feel sure it does not for

HERE AND THERE.

An adage for the sheep raiser:
"Throw physic to the dogs" and let it
be of the most drastic kind.
"A given measure contains more
weight when the individuals contained
in it are large. A bushel of large po-
tatoes weigh more than bushel of
small ones.
The man who can convert his feed
into marketable meat in the shortest
time is the man who will make the best
profit. 1t will not pay these days to
spend year in doing six months work.
On many farms it will pay better
to feed all the surplus milk to pigs and
calves than to make it into butter.
Distance from market and ability to
turn out the best butter, are conditions
to be considered.
"A hundred bushels of potatoes
stored in cellar in fall will weigh out
about eighty-three bushels at planting
time next spring. They lose in bulk
in the same proportion.
To stop the advance of the army
worm all you have to do is to turn your
hogs on the advance column. They
will eat them up in wheat or any
other field and not touch the plants

raised here cheaper than elsewhere,
and will be when the diversified sys
tenn described above is adopted.
The labor system must be changed.
Ignorant negroes are poor renters ana
inferior troopers. Intelligence must
direct the operations of a farm, in the
time Of low prices and strong COMPETE
ton. Idleuess Of several months, in.
cident to renters and troopers, must
give way to constant employment the
year round, Hiring for wages will
enable the planter to fix fences, make
repairs, dig bitches and haul out
manures in January and February,
months now spent in idleness by rent
ers and troopers Every farm or
plantation should be run by hired
hands, and the wages should be paid
In cotton, or be Commensurate with
present prices Of cotton.
Our system OF credit must be greatly
modified. The advancing merchant,
with his apparently large profits, must
go before permanent prosperity will
prevail--a very difficult task. Cotton
is now the basis of credit 1t must be
dethroned. Personal integrity or land
values must supersede it, and lower
rate of interest must be obtained. Ex-
travagance in every direction must be
stopped and a strict system OF farm
economics be universally adopted.
Greater care in preparation of crops
for market must be exercised, and
transportation rates to market and
charges for handling in cities and
ports must all be reduced proportion
ately to prices of cotton. If all of the
above conditions and methods were es-
tablished, 1t Is possible to grow cotton
at five cents, but the large money re-
turns of the past would be impossible.
Mary OF our best farmers, who have
practically followed the above methods
for years, are to-day in good financial
condition, and are living witnesses to
their practicability. But will they be
universally adopted? No. Great re-
forms are slow in movement, especially
among so conservative class as farm
ers and planters. Many will adopt
them and thrive, making cotton here
after money crop only. Others will
continue with the old methods to bank
ruptcy.
Packing-houses in centers of trade
would develop both the growing Of
hogs and cattle, and indirectly aid in
adopting the diversiication of crops SO
essential to permanent prosperity.
Canning factories would greatly aid in
enlarging the areas devoted to fruits
and vegetables, and should be estab
lished in every village. The south is
rapidly improving. The largest crops
of corn and bacon since the war have
just been harvested, and while there i,
