TWO DAYS OF MUSIC.
Changes Made In the Logan Eistedd-
fod Propra1nnne-

fod Programme.
Logan, Feb. 1.-THE executive COM
mittee of the Cambrian association met
last evening and made a slight change
in the programme, substituting an or
chestra selection for the harp contest
There must not be less than four in
struments, and the prize is 500. Ihey
also decided to hold two days meet
ing of the Eisteddfod, instead of one,
as at first decided upon, so now the
dates will be March l and ?. The rea-
son for doing this was that they found
that owing to the large number of en-
tries it would be impossible 20 hear all
the competitors in one day. In the
choir contest no less than nine entries
have already been made. and more are
expected. The price of admission to
the Eisteddfod was fixed at 80 cents
for a season ticket for adults, or %
cents for single admission for adults;
children, 10 cents.

Name of His Poem.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

new YORK COmmercldl ADVERTISER.
Landlubbers sometimes wondered at the
Chantey." When sailors are going to do
any work which needs concerted action
they sing. There are different chanteys, one
for each kind of work. A man sits on the
capstan and roars out the chantey, and at
certain words, all the rest come in as a
chorus, and all push or pull together. THE
DipSey Chantey' is for heaving the lead
The officers of a ship like to hear the men
roaring out their chantcy well, for 1t means
that they are contented. When they are
disconnected they barely growl it out; and
when they do not sing it at all, then look
out for trouble.
The chantey is used even when the wind
is blowing so hard that the words are indis
tnguishable. When reefing down the fore
sail of square-rigged vessel-and the fore
sail is not reefed till the wind is bowling
the men will all sing Whisky is the life
of man" though the gale tears the song
their own words; but the rhythm is so we'll
known that they all pull on the sail to-
gether almost as we'll as If they could hear.
The man who sings the chantey often i'm
against one of the officers. He will sing
about brass-bound pirate of a mate, nam
ing no names, but the mate knowing all the
time who is meant That is about the only
chance the sailorman has Of freeing his
mind about his officers without getting put
in irons. There is one other way. When an
order Is given the man to whom it is
directed has to repeat 1t word for word, add
ing sir at the end If the captain roars
at him in tones anything but polite: Come
aft there, your the sailor may repeat in
exactly the same surly tones: Come aft
there you-sir," and feel more comfortable
in his mind than If he had made no noise
himself; for it is etiquette in the merchant
marine that the officers are not to take Of
Tense at their own tones reproduced, no
matter how insulting those tones may be.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
You ask what be done to arrest the
threatened decline of agriculture and stop
the movement of population from farms to
cities Can the State do anything? Yes.
Cut the salaries of county and state off,
GERS down; also, the charges of physicians
and wages of teachers. There are attorneys
and physicians in your city that make
charges for one hours service that it would
take common farmer from six to twelve
months hard work TO pay. Is it any wonder
that the young men are becoming sick of
the farm when they think of the good
clothes. fine offices and big salaries that our
officers enjoy, while the farmer has to work
from sun till sun in mist and rain to feed
and clothe his family and pay his taxes
OF course, Governor Mounts remedy would
work to a certain extent. 1t is money we
are all after and until the Legislature takes
different view and reduces these salaries
and fees this sickness of farm life will in
crease. The man with eighty acres of land
IN this community, costing him $1,000 to
5000, who makes living for his family,
pays his taxes, which are growing almost
every year. and lays aside $500 or $500 is a
money maker. Almost any attorney or doc
tor can, by practicing the same economy
that the farmer does save ten times this
amount. FARMER.

Duval Nearly Lost an Eye In an En-
counter with a GrasshOpper.

Topeka Letter in New York Sun.
it was during one of those beautiful In
dian summer days in October for which
Kansas is noted that Daniel Duval, a we'll
to-do farmer of Phillips county, received
kick in the eye from a graSShopper, with
the result that for some weeks there was
sight of the eye. He is only now getting
over it. This athletic feat on the part OF
the insect does not mean that grasshoppers
grow to such a size out in Phillips county
that they can assail the inhabitants while
sitting on the ground. The one to which
Mr. DuVal is indebted for badly inflamed
grasshopper in size, and was speeding
through the air when the farmers race I'M
luckily crossed its path The result was
that it struck the farmer in the right eye
with as much precision as If shot from
gun by an American naval gunner. The
eyeball was badly lacerated. The FARMER
had to drive into Phillipsburg and call for
the services of DR.. Nelson, under whose
care he has been since.
western Kansas were being delayed by
grasshoppers This is frequently the case
during the fall of the year. Night is the
time when such things happen. During the
warm days the rails become heated and re-
tain the heat during the night, and for TINS
reason the grasshoppers seek them when
the dew falls and the grass becomes cold
and damp. Frequently they cover the rails
so thickly that the wheels of the locomotive
slip and cannot catch hold.
The reader should not form the idea that
Kansas is infested with her old enemy each
year, for Sucn is not the case There are al
ways great numbers Of hoppers that cover
the prairies, yet never modest the crops. Ihe
great grasshopper raid occurred in 1874 and
1875. 1t was In the early part of August.
1874, that the news was telegraphed all over
the Eastern States that myriads of grass
hoppers had crossed the Rocky mountains
and were slowly eating their way across
Colorado. it was weeks before the host or
destroyers reached Kansas, and these were
weeks of great anxiety to the farmers who
worked and toiled long and hard to save
their crops. In eastern Colorado the grass
hoppers left a bare track like well-worn
cattle trail In Kansas farmers awoke in
the morning to find that the hoppers had
come quietly in the night and destroyed all
the fruits of many days of toll. Crops,
foliage and everything green had, disap-
peared in night. Fruit hung on the trees
without a leaf to protect it from the hot
sun, and much of it was partly eaten. It
was said that only three living things would
use the tobacco plant-man, an African goat
and the tobacco worm but the grasShop-
pers of 1874 consumed this plant as quickly
as corn. Inc myriads Of insects deposited
immense numbers of eggs, causing great
apprehension for the coming year. True
enough there were plenty of them in 1875
to destroy all crops The young hoppers
began to appear as the crops matured and
by June 90 1875, there were no crops to be
seen, and with nothing to live on, the
grasshoppers disappeared ny June 20.

TAKING A LIFE MASK.
Method of Preserving the Lineaments
of Living People.

Odn TdHclSCO
One often observes when reading OF the
demise of celebrity that a mask was taken
by Mr.. So-and-So, the celebrated sculptor,
soon after death, but really very few people
know how this is carried out. They might
have some idea that plaster of paris is put
over the dead mans face, but there the idea
ends.
a mask from life is taken almost precisely
in the same way as after death, save that
much greater care has to be used, as the
subjects life hangs on very thin tnreaq,
or to be more precise, two small quilts. 1t
requires a great deal of nerve and patience
to undergo, the sensation being most dis
agreeable. When q mask from life is about
to be secured the subject reclines on long
table, and towels are placed around his neck
and forehead to prevent the plaster going
where not intended. The race is sngntly
creased, but not enough to fill the pores of
the skin. Care has to be especially taken
with the eyelashes, as otherwise, in the sub
SeQuent operations, these are likely TO be
pulled off, which would not be exactly
pleasant. A small quill is now inserted In
either nostril to allow the subject to breathe
through and cotton wool lightly pressed
around the base to keep the liquid plaster
from intruding. A pair of scissors is al
ways kept handy, so as to be able TO cut
off the tops of the quilts should by any
chance the plaster splash up and cover
them All being ready, few cheering words
are spoken to the unhappy victim and the
plaster is mixed. This is carefully poured
or sprinkled over the features. The plaster,
through being mixed with warm water,
quickly hardens, and in the course OF about
five minutes the mold is strong enough to
be taken of. 1t has to be carefully done,
as the subject is generally so very eager to
get mouthful of fresh air once again. A
Slight tap with the hand is given to the two
side pieces, which relieves the joints made
by the thread. The top or central piece Is
then lifted up and pulled slightly down
ward, so as to withdraw the quilts from the
nose, as they come out with the mold. The
sides are then taken off. Probably some of
the hair may hold the mold, but with a
little coaxing, or by the insertion of the
scissors it can soon be removed. Care must
be used to get the ears, but without break
ing either the subject or the mold. The
care is only taken on the front sides, cotton
wool being placed at the back to prevent the
plaster going around. When removed the
three pieces are put together and plaster
placed on the exterior to hold and strengthen
them.

minds is still further increased. Careful,

Accounting for II.
New York Examiner (Baptist)


1t is unhappily true that attendance upor
public worship especially in our large cities
has suffered decline from which there are
no present indications of recovery. The
causes of this deplorable neglect are APP
parent on a little reflection. In some meas
ure ii is reaction against the rigid Sabba-
tarianism of an earlier period. If we con-
trast the conditions that obtained in the
New England of the past, and even more
notably in Virginia, when her statute con-
demned TO death those who absented them
selves three times consecutively from divine
service and the conditions that prevail al
present when only one out of six attends
worship at all. il would certainly seem as
IT, in the rebound, the nadir had been al
most touched Materialism, benumbing the
religious consciousness. and so concentrate
ing the thoughts of men upon temporal ac-
QUESTION as TO deprive them of the time for
spiritual reflection, is another and prolific
cause of religious disaffection. But per-
haps the most serious OF all. and one for
which the church cannot too soon find a
remedy. is the irreverent sensationalism OF
many modern pulpits.
