NEz PIERCE,
POTLATCII,
PALoUsE.


These are the names of three great
agricultural and fruit growing dis
tricts in Idaho and Washington,
reached by the Northern Pacific rail-
road.
They each adjoin the other an
together form a region hard to equal.
The Polouse region has been noted for
its Earvelous grain production. The
Potlatch country is analogous to the
Palouse.
The Nez Perez region lies south OF
the others and has until recently been
a part of a great Indian reservation.
500, 900 acres of it have been thrown
open to settlement ands itsslands,can
be bought upon cheap prices and
terms. Write to Charles s Fee, Gen
eral Passenger Agent, N. p. R. R.,

Keeping Accounts With the Farm

Keeping Accounts With the Farm.
Farmers as a rule are too negli-
gent in this matter. They often com.
plain of hard times, cheap wheat and
low prices for all other farm products,
when they are utterly unable to state
Just what their products cost them per
bushel or per ton. 1t is one of the most
satisfactory accounts frrmer can keep,
and has been largely the means of en-
abling the writer to reduce the cost of
producing bushei of wheat from $I.25
in 1882 to "a cents in 1894, allowing the
same pay for labor expended and for
rental of land in each case. The cost Of
all other crops was also reduced, but the
reductions were not SO marked as in the
case noted. While 1t has a strong ten
dency to reduce the cost of production,
this is not all. 1t enables farmer to
know whether he can afford to sell his
products at prices prevailing when he
wants to sell. If he raises them at a
loss he will know 1t, and again it is a
great help in showing him which crop
pays best on the farm, SO that he can
grow more of what is adapted to his soil
and climate and is most profitable.
Any cheap memorandum book will
answer the purpose, but an index ledger
is better. Then plant your farm and
name or number the fields, stating how
many acres each contains. When you
begin farm operations in the spring
charge the field with all the labor at a
given price for hand and team, given
price for hand where team Il not used,
also all seed grain at what 1t is worth at
the time as seed, and lastly, charge the
field with certain amount of rent or in
terest on investment. Don't forget to
keep dates for all these charges, for they
are a wonderful satisfaction in after
years. When you gather the crop give
credit for the product in bushels or tons,
and at the end of the year It is an easy
matter TO determine the enact cost of
each product. When once accustomed
to keeping such accounts, the desire to
continue will grow.

FIELD AL I'D THE KISS.
How Genial GENE Described Emma
Abboti's Mode of OscuIation.


Eugene Field was a great admirer of
Emma Abbott, and many have given
him the credit for discovering her,
says the Hartford Times He always
said nice things about her whenever
she came, wrote verse to the fair Emma
in Kansas City, when Field was then
engaged on the Times, and "jollied" the
company as only d humorist can.
In January, 1880, Emma Abbott played
a weeks engagement. One night she
gave paul and Virginia" William
Castle was the tenor. In this opera
occurs a kissing scene and the manner
in which Emma passed through the
ordeal delighted The heart of Mr.. Field
so much that the following Sunday, as
part of a four column tribute to the
singer, appeared this expansive descrip-
tom
"Aha, that kisa-that long, low, Ian
gushing, limPid, liquid, lingering kiss 1!
Twas not tender kiss, nor a studied
kiss, nor an artistic kiss, nor a fervent
kiss, nor boisterous kiss, nor paroxys-
NAL kiss, nor a nervous kiss, nor a fra
ternal kiss, nor gingerly kiss. nor a
diffuse kiss, nor concentrated kiss, nor
a diffident kiss, nor popgun kiss-'twas
a calm, holy ecstatic outbreaking of two
fond and trusting hearts, an informing
ling of two gentle souls sanctiied b.
love, communion of the intangible by
tangible means, a blending of earth with
heaven, in which the latter had a mani
fest preponderance. Twas such a kiss
as Troilus, stealing BY night into the
Trojan camp, might fain have breathed
on Cressida's maiden lip, to the melody
of the joyful nightingale that sung of
love, and in the sheen of the round, red
moon and the stars that see but never
tell"
If there is another description of a
kiss that will outrank this it is not
known in Kansas City. After the de-
parture of Abbott the "Abott kiss" was
a standard expression.

All through the winter his letters

AFTER MANY DAYS.


Guy Stuart had only been for two
days an inmate of the out-of.the way
farm house where he had come to re-
cuperate after winter of hard study
and already, as he strolled along this
morling, putting vigorously at his cigar
and demolishing clover-tops with his
cane, he W IS longing for his dinghy little
Office, and looking forward, with some
akin to dismay, to the two months OF
complete rest which his physician had
prescribed.
"If my respectable landlady were
little less dragon-like, or her pretty
niece a shade less unapproachable!" he
muttered, discOnsolately. "But by Jove,
this idyl of still life grows monotonous.
1t is not bad, either, from an aesthetic
point of view," he added, as he paused
on the brow of the hill.
And, ip truth, as pretty picture OF
rural beauty as one could wish to see
Law stretched at his feet. The orchard
through which he had been strolling
sloped down to a meadow gemmed with
buttercups and blue-eyed quaker-ladies
and in the midst of it, set like pearl In
its nest of willow trees, was the white
springhouse where Miss Stanford's
famous butter was made, sweet and fra
grant as though it had caught the breath
of all the apple-blossoms and violet'
with which it was surrounded
A row of shining pals were rejecting
back the rays of the sun, and girr'
voice was ringing out in a quaint Scotch
ballad, rivaling the birds in its sweetness
and power.
Mr.. Stuart listened for moment will

as he threw away his cigar.
A pretty picture met his eye when h
reached the door-a dark, cool place
where the pans stood deep in the coo
spring water, and butter that rivaled i
hue the buttercups without was piled o
the white table.
And just where a stray sunbear
touched lovingly her great braid c
