TEN that has proved greater benefit to
the nations of the earth than all the other
projects of civilization combined. To-day
we are familiar with the names of great
railway kings-men who have operated
millions, who have been the life or the
death of the stock market by the rise or
the fall of finger. We look with some
thing of veneration at the careers of John
w. Garrett and Thomas A. Scott, and
even with n mixture of admiration at the
wealth producing powers and executive
abilities of Cornelius Vanderbilt and Jay
Gould. But greater, far gseater thnn n

To George Stephenson and to him alone
belongs the credit Of the magic develop

when boy he completed his first clay

time when the steam Kissed in his ungain-

been one of enduring usefulness, of un.
leasing benefit to his fellow-man.

Better Mutton sheep.

The agitation in favor of better
sheep for mutton is changing the
breeds on many farms. Farmers are
not now as much interested in wool as
formerly, but are turning their atten-
ton to the production Of mutton of the
best quality. Although there are
fewer sheep now than few years ago,
vet the value of sheep Is much more.
There is also an improvement In keep
ing and feeding sheep, the hillsides,
with exposure in winter, being the lot
of sheep in former years.

Potato Disease in ireland.

The disease which Is destroying the
potato crop in Ireland Is known ms
"Phytophora infestans," and prevails
more on moist soils than where tie
land is dry, though ory soils are not
free from the disease. 1t generally
affects the tubers late in the season
and frequently the attack is sudden
and fatal. 1t begins as n single spot
on the leaf, spreading to the entire
plant. prevailing mostly during damp
weather. Where the potatoes have
been sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
the disease seems to be checked. 1,

An Actors Excuse

After his first great successes. Mr.. W.
8. Penley had to act in many plays
which somehow did not seem to please
the public. Some Of these he Just kept
alive by his brilliant "gagging." On one
occasion. when a wretched play had been
going for some weeks in this manner,
the conceited young author came behind
and asked Mr.. Penley why he gagged"
so much.
"The play will be all right" he said,
III you will only speak my lines quietly
and wait for the laugh"
To this Mr.. Penley replied promptly:

kind of rapturous applause that sort of
