swedish Proverbs

Mrs. Baker, In Pictures of Swedish
Life, says that the Swedish language Is
rich In proverbs. Many of these are
exactly the same as are found in En-
gllsh. 'SThe burnt child breads the
fire" and Better late that never are ia.
stances. Others, while corresponding
to proverbs in English. have a turn pc.
culiar to themselves. The following are
a few examples: when the cat Is away
the rats dance on the table," "a new
broom sweeps well, but an old one is
best for the corners;" zone bird In the
hand is better than ten on the roof;'
when the stomach is satisfied the food

DRIVING a FIRE ENGINE.
Parts of the City In Which It Is Most
Difficult to Drive.


The whistle on steam fire engines Is
now more commonly used than former
ly in place of the bell on account Of the
growing din OF the city's busler streets,
and the necessity for some unmistak-
able Indication of the engines approach.
Down town is the most difficult part of
the city In which to drive a fire engine.
In the crowded streets of this part of
the city an engine may sometimes be
brought to a standstill, but the mar
rover streets are not always the worst
to get through. The difficulties attend
ing driving through the street may de-
pend much upon the character of its
traffic. Nassau street, for example, Is
a narrow and extremely busy street,
with many people constantly passing,
and with many vehicles, but, difficult
as 1t u.s. is Is not one of the most difficult
of the downtown streets to drive In,
for the wheeled traffic is mostly of
comparatively light vehicles. There
are not proportionately SO many heavy
trucks as In many other downtown
streets, and 1t Is the heavy, numbering
truck that can't haul out of the way
in an instant, which most impedes the
passage Of the fire engine.
The most difficult of all the streets to
drive an engine In down town is the
widest Of all-West street. The diff
culties here arise from the tremendous
and constant traffic of heavy trucks and
all sorts of vehicles to and from the fer.
ries and the piers.
Crowded and difficult as the down
town streets are by day, the situation
there is very different at night. Then
! they are practically deserted, and the
+ driver of the fire engine has perfectly
! clear road to drive as he will, with moth
ing to look out for but the street cars.
I The area Of difficult driving has, with
the growth Of the city, and the con-
slant increase of it's business, gradual
! ly extended further and further up
4 town. Engine houses that ten or if
/ teen years ago stood in residence dis
4 tricts, are now surrounded by business
establishments. Then the engines went
4 In and out of the house unimpeded;
now they may encounter the traffic of
puSs o1icet iASht a. ehc start. SPooA
ing in a general way, the area of diff
cult driving may be said to have extend
ed as far north as Thirty-fourth street,
and 1t Is still extending northward.
But while the difficulties are all the
time increasing, the driver of the fire
i engine, and of every kind of other fire
apparatus for that matter. appears to
get there just the same.-New York

Farmers as Lawmakers,

The present personnel of Congress
shows that there Is one farmer to six
| lawyers, and still the farmer wonders
why 1t Is so difficult to secure legisla-
ton on agricultural matters. While
/ the proportion OF representatives in
State Legislatures Is not quite so much
/ In favor of the lawyers, neither Is there
as large proportion IN favor of the
/ farmer when the representatives of 9TH
err occupations are considered The
agricultural interests are quite import
ant factors and should be more prom
lnently represented. Not that there IS
need of more laws, for we have a sur
felt already, but that those In whose
Interests the laws are or should be
made may have voice in their CON
struction and enactment Neither
should IT be allowed that there are not
equally intelligent aud able men among
the farmers as are TO be found In any
other vocation.
The lawyer, the manufacturer the
capitalist, all have their different inter-
ests, and are supposed to know the
needs and requirements of legislatio

1t ID but natural that they should make
these interests paramount in their labors
as representatives of those who elect
them. They know little of the practical
side of agriculture, and cannot be ex-
pected to enact laws affecting 1t with
the same wisdom and judgment that

MANUFACTURE OF CANES.
Grown, Boiled, Warped, Fired, Pol
ished and Ornamented.

The manufactures of canes reveals
an interesting process connected with
a growing Industry. There are sew
eral large factories in Philadelphia
and some in New York. These have
recently been established The cane
Is grown mostly in Austria, France
and Japan. There are numerous spe-
cies, among which are the Congo, Co
rine, Penang, Bamboo, Furze, Wham-
poo and the Weischel Many canes
are partly shaped while growing. AT
the mandatory the crude canes are
placed over a large steam vat. Cloths
are wrapped over the sticks and they
are left In this position until the wood
has become perfectly soft and pliable
at the end, where 1t is intended to form
the handle. Having reached this condi-
ton, they are taken out separately and
placed In a wise, around a mold Of
whatever shape 1t is desired to make

tightly In the wise, the upper end is
placed in a steel spring having cast
iron handle, which is drawn sharply
around, warplng the cane at this point

Any crop that leaves the soil in good
condition will cost less than one which
apparently pays better, but which
largely draws upon the soil for plant
food. Ordinary wheat straw takes
more fertility from the soil than pota
toes, II compared by weight, because
the potato is composed more largely CT
starch and water. The soil should pot
be considered as a source of food Cor
plants, but rather as a location for
growth, the food for the plants to be
provided by the farmer, according 10
the requirements of the crop.
No crop pays that leaves the soil
poorer, unless sold at price which
will Gamble to restore the plant food
and also receive fair profit for his
time and labor. The soil is the store
the raw material for future crops, and
the real wealth of farm Is In its soil,
as II can be drawn upon In the future
for crops that may be In demand.
Whether a farmer receives large re
turn or fails altogether during any
year, he has the soil as savings bank,
representing much of that which has
been applied to 1t previously.
Water is a staple article on farms,
and is sold more extensively than Any
thing else Milk contains about 81 per
cent. of water, and fruits of all kinds
are considered more valuable If water
predominates In their composition.
Even a grain crop Is not free from
water, while grass and vegetables are
mostly composed of water. Water is
therefore the cheapest substance pro
cured by good cultivation (for he OH
tains more of 1t by good cultivation
than would be the case otherwise), and
next to water is carbon. When oil.
butter, sugar and starch are produced
on the farm the leaves of the trees and
plants derive carbon carbon dioxide)
from the air and store 1t In their cells.
When the animals consume plants
they convert this carbon into COM
pounds familiar to ALL but the cost of
which so far as the fertility of the soil
Is concerned may be very small, and
when the soil can be made to do service
without loss the gain Is correspondingly
as great to the farmer as from sale
The real cost of crops on nearly all
farms is that of labor, but labor Is prof
liable according to the uses to which 1t
is applied, and the labor-saving imple-
ments must assist the laborer. If the
farmer continues to grow crops for
which he knows there will be low
prices his labor will be more expensive
than with some better crop. Just what
that better crop may be depends upon
the location of the farm, the markets,
the soil and other conditions. There
are seasons when some crops pay bet
ter than others, as was the case with
peaches last year, which gave good re-
suits. An acre of onions may be more
profitable than five or ten acres of
wheat, and yet the cost of the onions
may be less than that of the wheat pro
portionately. A diversity of crops
should be the rule, for no farmer can
afford TO take the risk of depending on
single crop. The cost will be accord
Ing to the skill and judgment used by
the farmer, and the estimate of profits
must always include that which the
soil has also gained.-Philadelph
Record.
