FARMERS WAGES,

A great many writers and speakers
when referring to the probable effects
of financial or other legislation on the
wages of the workingmen, leave the
impression that they do not include
the farmers among the workingmen
who receive wages or salaries. The
35, 100000 people on the farm-one-
half the population are as truly wage
workers as those who work in store,
mine or factorty and, therefore, when
discussing effects of legislation upon
labor and wages, the farmers must be
included.
The farmers wages or salary is the
net profit on his product. Whatever
reduces the price of farm products,
reduces the farmers wages. At pres
ent, farms products, as rule, do not
pay any profit, therefore, the farmer
is getting no wages or salary. A great
many farmers, instead of making any
money, are annually falling behind ;
this, too, in the face of the fact that
they and their families work hard and
intelligently, live economically, and
are blessed with seasons that give
them good crops. With prices of farm
products below cost of production, the
wages or salaries of the millions OF
workingmen on the farms are cut off,
and their purchasing ability being de-
stroyed or greatly crippled, the mer-
chants and manufacturers have lost
patronage to such an extent that many
of them have been compelled to close
their doors. They cannot, says The
Journal of Agriculture, get along with
out patrons. 1t is to the highest in
terest of manufacturers and merchants
to favor governmental policies that
foster agriculture, for no other legiti-
mate industry can prosper while the
basic industry is depressed.

HIS CANDID OPINIoN.-The most
ordinary facts may be presented in
such a light as to be scarcely recogni-
Fable, and thus presented, they are
likely to occasion highly original and
unexpected comments.
A prominent physician of this city,
says the Washington Star, owns a
farm in New England, and whenever
he gets unbearably tired Of his fash
ionable patients he goes there, puts on
his oldest clothes, lays in stock OF
corn-cob pipes, and rusticates. One
day last summer he was jogging lazily
along country road in rickety old
cart drawn by a horse almost as rick
ETY.. A countryman walking on the
same road asked for a lift, and the
two fell into conversation.
"Who are you workin' for ?" asked
the countryman.
"Oh, I'm working for Doctor j.,

"What doin'?"
"Oh," went on the doctor, 81 do

DRIVING WITHOUT FATIGUE.

Even in this age of the world, horses
are sadly abused, sometimes through
indifference, often because of igno-
rance. Mr.. H. G. Merwin, writing in
Harper's Magazine, offers some good
suggestions to those who have occa-
sion to drive long journeys. The most
important rule, he declares, is to start
off slowly.
The roadster should have an oppor.
tunity to stretch his legs and to get his
second wind before being called upon
for real effort. No matter how great
the hurry, time will be gained in the
end by driving the first three or four
miles at a gait not exceeding six or
seven miles an hour. With substan-
tial load, or in very hot weather, the
pace should not be more than five or
six miles an hour.
I happened once to see pair OF
horses just as they had finished a
drive of 20 miles over very billy
country. They had accomplished it in
the very excellent time of two hours
and a half, and they arrived in good
condition. A week later the same
horses were driven by different man
over the same road in three hours and
half, and they were completely ex-
hausted by the journey. The expla-
nation was that the second driver had
started at a great pace, and kept it up
for the first three or four miles, al
though there were some steep bills to
climb.
It is q more common mistake to sup
pose that horse can maintain fast
gait without fatigue over long, level
stretch. When the road is perfectly
level, the labor of drawing vehicle,
though not excessive, is absolutely
continuous, SO that it becomes exhaust
ing after few miles. On such road
the horse should be permitted to walk
little once in every two, three or
four miles, according to the weight OF
the carriage, the condition and ability
of the animal, the weather, and other
circumstances.
An 'up-and-doWn road, even though
the hills are steep, is far less fatiguing
to the horse than a level one, besides
being, as rule, much more pictur-
esque. At least half of the villages in
the mountainous parts of New Eng
land are connected by two roads, one
through the valley, and another, but
seldom used, over the hills. The trav-
eller would do we'll in most cases to
pursue the billy route.

PEGIlLIAR CASE.

"Would you mind telling me some
thing ?' he asked with some hesitancy.
"Certainly not" The Star reporter
answered. .
"You see a great many newspapers ?"
II have to read considerably"
"And you ought to be able to tell
whether thing is funny or not"
"Can't you tell for yourself?"
"Ordinarily. But I have a case here
that needs an expert opinion. Some
time ago was employed by man to
look after his stock in trade-which
consisted mainly of beer. Some peo-
pie came in, and in order to entertain
them showed them a few tricks that
I had learned. One of them said to
me that he knew a good trick, and
that if I would help him out he would
show it. Twas willing to do anything
I could to make it pleasant for the
company, and when he asked me for
an auger, I handed him a small one
that happened to be handy. He went
over to keg of beer and bored hole
in it. He told me to put my thumb
over the hole. I did go, and he bored
another hole in the keg. At his re-
quest 1 put my other thumb the other
hole"
"Then what did he do?"
"Then he began to treat the crowd
to everything in sight. All could do
was to reason with them about their
conduct. I .did't dare take either OF
my thumbs off, for the result would
have been a geyser that would have
ruined the new wall paper. When
they had helped themselves to all they
wanted they went away and left me.
1t was two hours before the proprietor
came and plugged up the holes and re-
leased me-"

sible ?"

not. I haven't been back, and the

pretenses. Which ought I to do,

OFFICIAL IMPoRTANCE.--A scene
reported by French paper as occur
ring in a camp of "reservists," militia
ry body which corresponds in some
degree with our militia, indicates that
the officer who is clothed Gin little

insistent upon that authority in one
country as another.
A lieutenant of these reservists
bursting with Importance, calls out to
passing soldier:
"Hi there Barber! Barber! Send
me the barber !"

the soldier, saluting and starting of
on a run. Presently another soldier
arrives and salutes the lieutenant.
Barber, eh ?" says the lieutenant
"Y-yes, sir"
"Then take my razor and thing:
here, and shave me quickly"
"But, lieutenant"
"No butts about it 1 tell you tt
shave mel"
"I'm afraid, lieutenant"
"What business have you to be
afraid? I tell you to shave me right
of !"
The soldier seizes the razor, and al
the first movement cuts the Lieutenant
badly on the cheek.
"Blockhead Scoundrel !" shouts the
officer. "Don't you know how tt
shave any better than that ?"
"No, sir; l."
"You what? Aren't you the com
pany barber?"
"No, sir I'm not a barber at all
only my names Barber, sir-l play

1t is not best to dip more than one or
two cobs into the oil. If all the kind
ling, especially that on top, is wet
with oil the fire will sometimes quick

can afford It, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc

worth their while to give the matter their
