He may not be an ideal farmer from
the scientific point Of view. There is
too much rule Of thumb too great a
want Of precision, too close an adher-
ence TO old fashioned ways in his farm
ing to please an expert. He has no pre-

But there is one subject at least in which

Polar Origin Of Humanity.

Believers in the Laplace theory Of the
origin Of the sun and the planets are Of
the opinion that the original stock Of
the human race first came into existence
at the poles Of the earth and gradually
moved out toward the equator. All be-
levers in the nebular hypothesis are fast
conforming their ideas TO the belief that
this earth was once a redhot ball Of fire,
and that the human race came into ex-
istence as soon as a portion Of the globe
had cooled sufficiently to admit Of their
living upon it. The portion most likely
to cool first was the poles, and the evil
dence deduced from this speculation is
that upon which is founded the idea Of
the polar origin Of the human family
On the above theory is explained the
mysterious finding Of the remains Of
tropical birds, beasts and plants far up
il the polar regions. If it is really true
that the poles were the first habitable
spots on the earths surface, and that
they were rendered so by the globe first
cooling at the spots least affected by
sunshine, it must be also true that the
polar regions are gradually encroaching
upon the temperate and torrid zones.

What, we wonder, would the Partisan
journals say if Frenchman or French
woman had been treated in the way de-
scribed by correspondent? He writes
"a few friends and myself collected a
small sum Of money and purchased o
handsome wreath, TO which card was
attached, In Memory Of Nelson. This
wreath ! sent by my servant, instruct
ing him to place the same ON or at the

Old Bet.

General Neal Dow says that lie re-
calls very well the first elephant ever
exhibited in this country, the famous
beast, Old Bet. He went to see her
when a boy in Portland, somewhere be-
tween 1915 and 1920. The most inter
esting part Of General Dow's reminis-
cence is how Old Bet died. According
to his recollection, she was shot on a
highway somewhere near Alfred, in
York county, by farmer who professed
to be indignant because Of the amount
of money her owners We're taking out Of
the state. Maine was then perhaps with
out exception the poorest portion Of the
country, and even the quarters which
were collected by the owners Of Old Bet
represented a considerable portion Of the
ready money Of the people

.rAInrfherIn. Work.

In a small country town in South

his cheeks inflated, vainly endeavoring
