Fall nurlng Winter Grain.

There is no better time TO top dress
winter grain than late fall. If it IS
done after the ground is frozen it will
be all the better. The loose soil will
not only poach less, but the manure
lying over its frozen surface will pre-
vent the alternate freezing and thaw-
ing which is more trying to winter
grain than is. the continued cold
weather. Besides, if the winter gram
field is seeded with clover in the
spring as it always should be, the top
dressing of manure will be just what
it needs to give the young clover pro-
lection early, and make it grow vigor-
ously later in the season.

INCOMES THAT SEEM LARGE.

1t is always assumed that great
painters make fortunes almost with a
turn of the hand. That, at all events,
is not the experience of M. Puvis de
Chavannes, the most celebrated paint
er in France at the present time, who
has been working for thirty-seven
years, estimates that the total amount
he has been able to earn by his pic
lures in that time has amounted to
scarcely $4,000. In other words, his
income has averaged only about f430
year.
This even does not represent profit,
for naturally his expenses in hiring
models and in purchasing materials
would have to be deducted from this
very modest sum.
Similar abnormal figures between
position and income are occasionally
met with in other professions, al
though as a rule men do not like to
proclaim the fact that they have not
been great money-makerS.
One of the most remarkable ex-
amples Of this fact was the case of
famous oculist living In Harley street.
He was the senior surgeon Of one Of
the most celebrated ophthalmic hos
pitfalls in London, and held one of the
highest positions in the professional
world as a consultant.
In speaking of the subject of earn
ings to a professional friend one day,
he jokingly asked:
What would you think has been
the most have ever earned in year
out of the practice of my profession?"
The friend looked up not knowing
what to answer, whereupon the old
oculist went on: well, you would
perhaps be surprised II told you that
have never earned f100 in twelve
months"

ner toward his wife and child was al
most brutal.
Marjorie bore her lot with exemplary
docility and characteristic gentleness;
but one day her patience gave way
She received communication
anonymous letter-which ran as fol-
lows, but in the French tongue:
"Madame-When your husband is
not with you he is with Mademoiselle
Seraphine of the Chatelet."
Marjorie read the letter through
twice, then folded it and put it in her
pocket. Caussidiere was late home
that night; indeed, it was nearly two
o'clock before his latch-key was put in
the door; yet when he mounted The
stairs he found that Marjorie was sit
ting up for him.
"Diable, what are you doing here"
Where have you been so late,
Leon?" she quietly replied.
He stared at her with an ominous
frown as he said:
what IS that to you? Go to bed"
Seeing we'll that he was in no mood
to be questioned, she obeyed him; but
the next morning, when they were sit
ting at breakfast, she returned to tho
subject again.
Leon" she said, where is it that
you go so often when you are away
from me?"
Caussidiere looked at her with new
light in his eyes; then he turned away
his head and continued his breakfast.

Good Darkey Stories.


A Georgia man who had made q

make a trial trip in it.
The negro agreed, got in position
and he and the machine were hoisted
by block and tackle about thirty feel

When the rope was loosened the ma.
chine took sudden slanting course
towards earth and plunged into an adj
jacent millpond.
1t disappeared with the negro be.

ventor stood shrieking for assistance.
Presently the negro's head bobbed up
serenely and he struck out for dry

words were:

Every time we raise the pen in be-
half of bleeding Cuba, we hesitate,
thinking that perhaps before our hum
BILE protest has been read by the peo-
pie, the government at Washington
will have raised its hand in the cause
of humanity. There seems, however,
to be long delays, and the patience Of
the American people is being severely
tried. If the comfy of nations" or
whatever the anti-Cuban liberty Junta
call it, will not permit the administra"
ton to act, then the sooner that this
country discards comfy" the better.
Our hands are becoming stained with
the blood Of Cuba. Look at them.

Considerable opposition is being man.
ifested toward the postal savings bank
bill fathered by tie Chicago Record
newspaper. Quite Unexpectedly this
opposition comes from those from
whom hearty support was expected
And what would seem more remark
able still, the bankers, as class, favor
the proposition. 1t may therefore be
inferred that the bill contains some
provisions favorable to the men who
deal in money, as against those who
produce the things for which money
exchanges. Every sensible person
must favor postal savings banks. 1t
Is not likely, however, that congress
will authorize that kind of postal
savings institution that will be moth
ing more than collecting agency for
the national banks. The Records bill
has several bad features. We hope
that these will be amended. We be-
lieve, nevertheless, that the bill has
been drawn up in good faith. Thou
sands have thoyghtlessly signed petit
tons favoring the bill. These petit
lions, of course, will have no weight
in congress-.

It is not unreasonable to suppose
that, as alleged, Spain would give up
Cuba were it not for the danger of a
consequent revolution at home. 1t is
q choice, in other words. between the
killing of Cubans and the killing OF
Spaniards, and everybody in these
cases prefers the sacrifice of the enc
my. A slight war with the United
States would perhaps pacify the Span
iards at home and open the way to
Cuban independence without excessive
humiliation of the Spaniah govern
ment.

The attempt to keep young children
in ignorance of stories about ghosts,
fairies, giants and gypsies would GER
tainly prove futile. If they are Of a
nervous and imaginative temperament
they will invent new terrors for them
selves instead of the old traditional
ones. A little girl of six, who had
been jealousy guarded against any
acquaintance with nursery b0gies and
superstitions, suffered from night ter
rors of severe kind, in which she
always screamed out that she was be.
ing chased by robbers. But while it
may be impracticable to- protect chill
dren from knowledge Of the super
natural and mysterious, it is inexcus-
able to brighten them with hideous sto-
ries or to leave them prey to .he
terrors of the solitude and darkness.
