ENGLIsHMEN OF BRAINS.
Many of Them Come From the Prov
inces ia the Queens Domain.
Trom Pearson,s Weakly

From Pearson's Weekly.
Men of powerful brain hail largely from
the provinces. Gladstone of Liverpool
stands out pre-eminendy. In science,
some of the weightiest names are Darwin
of Shrewsbury. owen of Lancaster, Hook
er of Suffolk, and TyndaH of county Car
law. In art, comes Leighton from Scar
borough, and Millais from SOUTHAMPTON.
Herbert Spencer of Derby is a very monu-
ment of brain power, although bodily
weakness has come with age. Tennyson
of Lincolnshire and Carlyle of Ecclefe-
chan are brain giants reared in the coun-
try.
OF historians, Froude came from Devon.
Freeman from Staffordshire, and Lecky
from Dublin. In fiction, there are Dickens
of Portsmouth, George Eliot" of War
wickshire and Thackery of Calcutta.
On the other hand, Londoners can boast
of some names which are in the very
first light. Huxley was born at Ealing.
Browning, Swinburne and John Ruskin
all hail from the metropolis.
But ON the whole, however, a compar-
ison shows that while London produces
more than its numerical share of distin-
guished men. the very highest fnteIlects
come to us from the country villages and
small province towns. 1t would seem
that the quiet of country life is needed to
develop the high order of intellect in
which calm reelection and abstract
thought are leading features, whatever
may be the ultimate channel in which
such intellects find vent

4. Cultivation. The cultivation of
corn should begin before it is planted,
for if the ground is not thoroughly
pulverized before planting, it is inn
possible to do it afterward, without
the corn, and this is where 50
stitch in time saves nine.' Ground
properly levelled and fined, can have
the drag started on it as soon as
planted, and it should be dragged
every few days with round, slanting
toothed harrow, till the corn is several
inches high. | use drag made of
p inches square oak, with ] inch
round steele teeth. 1t has five beams
in section. and six teeth in a beam,
set slanting back. 1t is used with
two horses, and takes three corn rows
at time. 1t will run clean, even in
old corn stalk ground, which was q
great object to us in Illinois, as we
could drag without breaking off the
corn leaves. I made a good many of
them for my neighbors and if the
rocks are out of the land they are as
good here as there.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
BY JAMES ARNOLD.

AS corn raising is almost as new an
industry in this country as hog rails
ing, and as the writer has had at
least % years of practical experience
in the business, hope he will not be
thought altogether presumptious in
offering few hints and observations
on the subject. In discussing our
question we shall take it up in the fol-
lowing order: First, soil and manures
Second, blowing. Third, planting
Fourth, cultivating. Fifth, harvesting.
Fisrt, soil and manures. Corn loves
a warm, we'll drained soil, and a
black loamy soil, fairly rich, will raise
it in perfection, it there is good
depth to it, and a subsoil not too COM
pact. A wet, compact subsoil is very
injurious to growing corn, and have
seen on the wet fat lands of central
Illinois, before they were drained,
corn that was on the 4th of July
breast high, completely wilted to no
thing by the first of August. Much

How to Make Money.

| understand now why I could not
make money with the platter that
had. There are SO many things about
the plating business that I did not
understand. It was not until I saw
the advertisement of Gray & Co. Plat
ing Works, Columbus, Ohio, that 1
commenced to make money. The
Royal Platter is sent by this house and
all the trade secrets connected with
the plating business, such as are
necessary in the great gold and silver
plating factories are given free. AS
soon as | got the Royal Platter I made
money right along. Last week I
cleared $3.50, and everybody is de-
lighted with my work. Anyone who
has had trouble with their plating ma
chimes, as have, should send to the
above firm and obtain their circulars
and they will be able to make lots of
money as I have done. The ROYAL
Platter is fitted out complete, every
thing ready for business; you do not
have to spend cent for materials.
During these hard times this informa-
ton is valuable.

J. M. K. ATKINSON. Kin m, StOTe- keeper for the Oregon Improvement company. was appointed postmaster of Newcastle. Wash, mining town near Seattle. His commission stated that he was to serve until his successor was ap- pointed, and after vainly waiting ten years for that belated worthy he wrote to Washington offering to resign. The official whoreceived his almost unprece- dented proposition probably fell dead from suislrise, for the offer was ignored. Atkinson wrote again and again and finally moved to Seattle, but the post office still chung tn him as tenaciously as the old man of the sea chung to Slnd bad. During the eight years that have passed since then Atkinson has labored with untiring zeal to get rid of the office. He purposely offends politicians of the opposite party, refuses to accept his pay when Uncle Sam sends it to him, lives in Seattle consistently and does everything he can think of to pro cure his discharge.
 Strange to relate, Atkinson was sue ceeded as storekeeper by Richard D. Roberts, anotker man who has a post office on his hands and who is also in despair because he cannot unload it. Roberts is postmaster of Franklin, and Atkinson increased his responsibilities by making him deputy postmaster at Newcastle. Roberts is now discharging the duties of postmaster at Newcastle and is still postmaster of Franklin. Not long ago leading Democratic politi- clan of Washington wrote Atkinson de manding t25 as a campaign contribu- tion. In his reply Atkinson refused to contribute, but stated that for the last eight years he had been conscientiously but vainly endeavoring to secure his dis charge as postmaster of Newcastle, and that if the politician could secure the appointment of his successor he would gladly give him a much larger sum than $25.
