Farming is depressed. but the farm
ers are as well off as any business men
we know of in the city, and better on
If they are out of debt. An exchange
says: "a farmer who can make liv.
ing now and keep things even, should
not change his business, at least until
our industries revive. He should "let
well enough alone" However, II a
young man does not like farming, the
chances are that he will make no great
success at it. If he is fretting and
chatting to get away to town or the
city and engage in other business be
had better go. He may be successful.

NEW SCHOOL FOR MONKEYS
They VIII BE Trained for Domestic serv-
anita.

There has just been founded at Cal
cutta an institution for the education
of monkeys, says am exchange.
A young monkey is taken and be-
fore him is placed set of blocks ON
which are painted in capitals the let
ters of the alphabet. These blocks are
in fact, exactly similar to those which
children play with in every civilized
country in the world, and they are
used in precisely the same way as if
the monkey were a young specimen of
the human race. There is one professor
for each monkey, and the monkey is
taught by means of the blocks to spell
certain words. If the word is fruit"
for example, the monkey, after having
been taught to arrange the blocks SO
as to spell the word quickly and with
out error, receives a bit of fruit as his
reward. The same exercise is repeated
with other words; and il is hoped that
in time Che simians will learn how
to read and spell and understand Eng
lish, if they canpot speak it. An effort
will also be made, it is said, to educate
these beasts so that they may become
fairly efficient domestic servants. The
school is so young as yet, however, that
what it will accomplish is entirely a
matter of speculation. Its professors
are enthusiastic about their novel work
and seem to think that a new field OF
usefulness will be opened up for these
chattering little beasts.

She Thought the Case Required Heroic
Treatment.
They had been married less than n
year when she noticed that her husband
stayed out late at nights and when he
did come home was apt to be noisy and
demonstrative, says the Detroit Free
Press. On his part William observed
that he could never find knife to cut
a bite to eat, and that even the family
shears were out of reach, while his raz-
ors at such times were locked up and
the key hidden.
He did not say much, because he was
not in condition to talk, and when he
was sober he did rot care to refer to the
past.
But he grew worse instead of better,
and one night he went home at late
hour and found the hall brilliantly
lighted and on the table under the gas
an assortment of all the cutlery in the
house. Knives, scissors and razors al
luringly open met his unsteady gaze.
"M-M-Mary," he called. "w-w-what
d-does t-this mean?"
ut MEANS" she answered, from the
top of the staircase, that ever since
you've been cutting up in this manner
I've been afraid you would do as you
threatened to do-kill yourself with
some of those things"
"Y-y-yes, Mary"
"Now I'm beginning to be more
afraid that you won't. so 1 thought I'd
give you every possible chance"
There was sound of cutlery by
night, mingled with forcible though
unsteady words, and William has re-
manned at home every evening up to
date

FEEDING HE HENS.

They Need Three Meas a Day and Plenty
of Pure Water.
l feed my hens three times day, as
regularly and as carefully as l do my
horses, and see that they always have
fresh, clean water by them and supply
them with clean gravel and oyster
shells, says writer in Pacific Rural
Press. l keep the hundred hens in two
colonies, and have a warm house for
each and yard attached, so that can
keep them shut up if desirable, but I'M
less the yard is large enough to furnish
grass, let them out awhile in the even
ing. If hens are let out an hour before
shutdown they will get feed of grass
and CLEAN any waste food without being
likely to get into mischief. Hens like
variety in their food, and, while bran
and cornmeal are the staple food, feed
whole corn and oats once a day, and
cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and any
kind of ripe fruit or melons that are I'M
salable. In cold weather we always
give warm feed once or twice day,
and this can be best done by cooking
and MASKING unstable potatoes or
scalding oil meal. In either case make
q thin mush and thicken with bran and
corn meal. A gallon of potatoes can be
cooked on the stove while breakfast is
being prepared and then thinned to
such consistency that it will easily
mix with the bran and meal. and then
thickened and fed warm. single
pound of oil meal will thicken two gal.
Ions of boiling water until it will be like
molasses. and this will make the feed
for 100 hens both warm and rich.

The finest art of Irritation is adapta-

With q little executive ability, and, in

FASHION IN INSTRUMENTS.
Beautiful Irish Harps to BE the Vogue
This Season.

Inns OCooOns
There is fashion in musical instru-
ments so far as the English young wom-
an is concerned which compels changes
as sudden and sweeping as those which
take place in regard to the same young
women's bonnets and hats. OF course
all of them who have pretensions to be-
ing considered what is vaguely termed
musical" reckon among their accom-
rlishments the ability to play the
piano, and they do not disdaip to de-
vote the surplus of their musical ability
to instruments of more portable kind.
For a time it was the banjo, then the
mandolin, then, taking fight upward,
the violin itself was degraded into the
position of fashionable" instrument,
dividing its claims with the violoncello.
We are said to be now on the eve of
another change. According to Music,
the instrument which is to be in vogue
this winter is the Irish harp, which
many young women belonging to the
very smartest society are said to be al
ready industriously practicing. 1t is
not the large and rather unwieldy thing
we are won't to see in the street orches-
tras. but a beautifully finished and dec
GRATED little instrument, some 80 inch
es in height, and about the weight of
banjo. 1t is, in fact, the article which
the minstrel boy slung behind him
when, with his fathers sword girded
on, he set forth on that bellicose expe-
dition Of which the ballads tell us.
The tone Of the Irish harp is said to be
particularly sweet, though little thin.

RENouNcE CHRISTMAS.

11ohammedans, Brah minis and Buddhists
Deny the Holiness of Christ.
There are millions upon millions of
people in the world who will not cele-
brate Christmas, and there are other
millions to whom Christmas is objec-
tionable, says the New York Herald.
Take the followers of Mohammed,
for instance. They are divided into
40 or so different sects, among which
are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There are
about $4,000 of them, and they believe
in RECONSIDERATION of the soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
them the story of the birth and life
of Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
fess to have knowledge that God has
visited the world 234 times, but they
do not believe in Christ. For them
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud
xlhists, Japanese, Chinese, Brahmins
and Mohammedans. There is no God
but Allah" says the Mohammedans,
"and Mohammed is His prophet" Mo-
hammed's followers also have curious
notions IN regard to the fate of the I'M
believers children. Some believe that
these children act as the servants of
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham-
med is recorded as saying on one oc-
casion to his wife:
IF thou desirest / cam make thee
hear their cries in hades."
Other Mohammedan authorities,
however, dissent from this view, and
one of them boldly says: II know that
Allah will not torment those who have
not committed any sin"

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

The largest size bug in the world is
'ound in Venezuela. 1t is called ele-
,hant beetle, and mature specimen is
credited with being about half pound
weight.
The largest flower in the world grows
n Sumatra. 1t is called the Raf9esia
Arnold, and some of the specimens are
80 inches in diameter. The central cup
will hold six quarts of water.
Dew is great respecter of colors. To
prove this, take pieces of glas0 or board
and paint them red, yellow, green and
black. Expose them at night, and You
will find that the yellow will be covered
with moisture, and the green will be
damp, but the red and black will be left
perfectly dry.
The "cold moon" is not cold at all
when she is visible, but very, very hot.
Her day is about fortnight long, and
during her period of brightness her
temperature probably rises to 220 de-
grees F. During the period of dark
ness, on the other hand, the lunar Their
mometer is supposed to drop to about
500 degrees below the Fahrenheit zero.
Then he may be truthfully said to be
cold.

Fourtecn below KIlls Apples.

A reader of Wallace's Farmer wants
to know how much lower than the freez-
ing point the temperature mas to get
to freeze apples. 1t is said that frozen
apples will thaw at 26 degrees. and if so
they undoubtedly would not freeze in a
temperature above &c degrees, which is
four degrees below freezing point. It
is also said that perfectly ripened APP
Piles can be thoroughly and solidly
frozen at temperature of ten degrees

them out in cold water If taken in time.
