Machinery and Modern Farming.

The smallest implement upon big wheat farm is blow. And from the blow to the elevator-from the first operation in wheat farming to the last --one is forced to realize how the spirit of the age has made itself felt here and has reduced the amount of human labor to the minimum. The man who blows uses his muscle only incidentally in guiding the machine The man who operates the harrow has half dozen levers to tighten his labor. The "sower who goeth forth to SOW, walks leisure iy behind drill and works brakes. The reaper needs quick brain and quick hand, but not necessarily a strong arm nor powerful back. He works sitting down.
 The thrashers arc merely assistants to a machine, and the men who heave the wheat into the bins only press but tons. The most desirable farmland is not the fellow who can pound the "mauling machine" most lustily at the county fair. He is the man with the cunning brain who can get the most work out of 9 machine without break ing it. The farm laborer in the west to- day, where machinery is employed, finds himself advanced to the ranks of skilled labor and enjoys position not widely different from that of the mill hand in the east. Each is tender of a machine. William Allen White in Scribner's.

BLOWN OUT TO SEA.
Helpless Birds That Are Driven to Death
 by Fieroe Gales.

by Fierce Gales.
 Birds driven before the wind are toss- ed about relentlessly, and they rarely recover their balance after once being caught by the gale, Shore birds are either dashed upon the waves and made to swim for their lives or they are hurl. ed violently against trees or other ob- Jeets and killed. Shore birds, when fac- ing gale, will take every advantage of trees, houses and hills as defenses against the wind. They will close their wings and sink So close to tho ground as to get the protecting shelter of & hedge fence, and then swoop up again with renewed headway. They frequent ly advance before the gale by series of side eyolutions, flying at right angles to tho wind until they have attained con. siderable velocity, and then wheeling about straight against the wind and making some headway before it over comes them. This operation is repeated continually until the desired place is reached
 During our fall and early winter gales cartridges and quail are quite fre-
 
 quently blown out to sea by strong hurricane, where some of them have been picked up by fishermen. h nearly all such instances they are caught by the gale when high in the air, and be. fore they can recover themselves they are hurried out beyond the shore and dropped into the water With their plumage soaked with the spray they in- stantly become helpless and cannot reach tho shore in tho face of the wind. On our inland lakes and rivers this is more common sight than along the ocean shore.
 When once blown out to sea, tho shore birds have little chance of escape. Unable to battle against the heavy wind, they yield themselves to their fate and drift about until the storm subsidies. By that time they are likely to be so far from shore that they cannot reach it again, and they either fly or swim until they starve to death or die of exhaustion. Their dead bodies, along with those of the hapless gulls, terms and herons, arc finally drifted upon some shore, where the waves leave them high and dry. After every heavy storm hundreds of such luekless victims can be found on the beaches of our Atlantic coast. Animal Friends.

Honest but Cute Yankee.

There IS funny case of international honesty down in Arizona, just OH the line between that territory and Mexico A Yankee farmer lives there, cue Anna. sa Barrow by name, and it is his busi- ness to raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mexico and bring them across the bound ary or to buy the feed and bring it across, would involve the payment of a considerable duty, which would eat the profits about as fast as the hens could eat the corn. As for smuggling, that was not to be thought of
 Amasa is Yankee, and he is so hon. est that his neighbors say he wouldn't take advantage of a man in a horse trade. But he is also full of Yankee in- genuity, and after deep cogitation he built long, slim hencoop, one-half of 1t in Arizona and the other in Mexico. On the line there is a gate. Over the line there are barns containing feed. At feeding time the gate is opened, and the chicken fancier shoos his flock into Mexico, where they eat their meal Then he shoes them back to the proteo tion of the American flag, where they digest this Mexican grain, lay thei, eggs and carry on their family affaira Mr. Barrow saves about 90 per cent on bis grain and makes about that much on his chickens, and if there is any smuggling done it is done by the inno- cent and irresponsible biddies Wash tnRton Times

SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR.
And This Cape Colder Captain Got Fixss
 Prize In Special Glass.

when was down on Cape Cod, I heard an amusing story about an old sea captain and bis COW. Captain Pat ferson. after sailing the sea for more than 40 years, finally retired to little Iarm near Barnstaple, where be settled oown, with a horse, COW and two or three dozen hens. His COW, though a lank and rather stubborn creature. was said to come from very good stock, and when the Barnstaple people took it into their heads to have fair Captain Pat terson determined to exhibit his COW.
 But when the day came for driving her to the grounds the COW showed that she had mind of her own and would not budge step keyond the farmyard gate In vain the old captain tugged at Che rope, pummeled her sides and push ed her Hanks. The COW wanted to go to pasture and was bound she wouldn't go to the fair
 Captain Pattorson's patience was very nearly gone, when suddenly an Idea occurred to him. Though he was not strong enough himself to force the COW to go to the fair his training sug. gested something that was Tying the COW to the gatepost, he went up into the loft of his barn and threw down an old sail stepped to dory mast Then he put horses blanket belt through ait Iron ring, strapped the belt around the COW. inserted the end of the mast in the ring and bound the mast to the side of the COW with some 50 feet Of rope.
 The wind blew "quartering," and when the captain united the cow and raised the sail tho canvas swelled out over the cows back, and away she went
 siding down the road, mooing and plunging and trying to stop herself in vain. Captain Patterson seized her tail, and using it as rudder guided hes sklllfully in the right direction With every fresh puff of wind the obstinate COW would be hurried along faster while the dust blew up in clouds and the sail Tapped and tugged as Captai4 Patterson helG sS the mainsheet with one hand and the cows tail with the other
 It was a hard voyage for both of them, but not long one. and when they came in sight of the fair ground everybody ran out to see the remarkable sight of COW being sailed through the streets like a ship. Cheers and laughter filled the air, and when the captain finally whirled his COW around at the gate of the fair ground and brought her neatly "up into the wind" the shout that arose might have been heard two miles away.
 Unfortunately Captain Patterson's COW did not take one of the prizes for olooded stock, but the captain himself was given special prize by the fair commissioners for tthe best advice for getting balky cattle to market. "-Out- look,

Meek, but Vigorous.

She was the daintiest of the dainty face, figure, air and apparel all pro- claimed it. To be sure he had not heard her speak as yet, but from the lips of so pretty little patrician only pearls and diamonds could fall. It was strange that she should be at the races unat tended, but that, of course, was but the accident of a moment. Her husband or brother could not be far off and would rejein her in moment. Time pisnU on, though, and still she sat alone Pres ently something happened. One of the horses stumbled and fell. The jockey was pitched headlong to the ground. He lay white and still. The man turned so look at her. There she sat, the color flown from her cheeks, her lips parted. her eyes wide and staring. He ventured to reassure her. "Oh, I don't believe he's badly hurt" he said. "Hurt9" shs sepeated quick as flash. ''I only hope he's broke his neck. I had $20 on ths little scoundreL "--New York Sun.

Smoking Statistics.

Holland holds the first place in the world as nation of smokers. Every Dutchman consumes on an average 100 ounces a year. The Belgian comes 8 good second with an annual consump- tion of 80 ounces, followed closely by Turkey with 70 ounces and the United States with so ounces. Germany, France, Spain and Italy tread closely on their heels, while the United Kingdom comes comparatively low on the list with 23 ounces.-London Tit-B Bits.

FORTUNE FOR A VASE.
Celebrated Pieces of China, Their Value
 and Their Owners.

and Their Owners.
 Ten thousand guineas paid by the Earl of Dudley for an antique vase and ewer of early Sevres china was the lar gest sum ever paid for vase. It was afterward sold to Baron Schroder for 5000 guineas. Five thousand guineas was paid at the sale of the Lynes- Stephens collection in 1895 for an ovi- form vase of old Seyres porcelain, paint ed with horsemen and figures, after Wouyermans, and trophy of arms in two medallions with futed neck and handles formed as gilt figures of boys, by Dodin and Morin, I534 inches high. The price included pair of oyiform, fiat shaped vases of comparatively small value. apart from the one above de- scribed, the three being one set which formed part of the Earl of Pembroke g collection.
 In Mr. Jones' collection of pottery and porcelain at the South Kensington museum there is an egg shaped Gros Bleu Sevres vase with medallions of Cupid and Psyche which was acquired for 5000 guineas. The celebrated Bar berini or Portland vase, now preserved in the gold chamber of the British mu- scum, was purchased by Sir. w. Ham, ilton for e1,00G, and afterward sold to the Duchess of Portland for e1, 800. A historical vase was recently put under the hammer at Christies It was one of a pair presented to the Marquis of Montcalm (the defender of Quebec by Louis XIV. The last bid for this splen- did work of art was e1, 995. One of the largest vases in the world was present from the late czar to the city of Paris. It is made from an immense block of jasper, is eight feet high and is valued at e1, 500.-London Tit-Bits.

How to Tougher Paper.

A plan for rendering paper as tough as wood or leather, it is said, has been recently introduced on the continent. It consists in mixing chloride of zinc with the pulp in the course of manufacture. 1t has been found that the greater the degree of concentration of the zinc solu- tiun the greater will be the toughness s2 tho paper.

OPINION - NOT MISUNDERSTANDING

an opinion previously withheld
through personal respect for MIR.
Dole.
When the contribution was
made, the fact that President Dole
had given money for the Maine
relief fund was spread throughout
the United States, and he received
the personal extollment from the
papers and people which might
be expected. The people here
thought the $500 was a personal

gift until the item appeared in the
list of expenses presented to the
Legislature.
Then came the sharp criticism
from the people of this country,
including many of Mr.. Dole's
ardent supporters. No one ques
toned his integrity. No one has
claimed that he intentionally de-
ceived the people here or in the
United States, and sought to OBJ
tain personal glory at the expense
of the citizens of Hawaii. None
of Mr.. Dole's supporters have
questioned his honesty one
moment. They will forgive
him or Mr.. Hatch or anybody else
interested for not thinking to i'm
press upon those to whom the
money was sent that it was not a
personal gift.
But they do question his judg-
ment in taking the whole thing in
his own hands, without any pub
lie expression from the people of
Hawaii, and placing the niggerly
sum of $500 as the cash value of
the sympathy of Hawaii for the
relatives of the men who went
down on the Maine.
To contribute to the Maine
fund was a commendable thing to
do. Ii President Dole con-
sidered it proper for the
people to add Hawaii's
name to the list of contributors,
how quickly popular subscrip-
ton suggested by him on his re-
turn to Hawaii would have rolled
the sum far above the $500 mark.
That's where the rub comes, and
where President Dole, whom we
are willing to allow acted on the
best of personal motives, made a
glaring political error which his
supporters cannot overlook and
which those opposed to him can
not be expected to overlook. That
Nc. Dole did not spend all the
money allowed him for the trip
cuts no figure. A special repre-.
sentative merits no particular re-
ward if be fails to use all the
money allowed him.
We do not regard the matter
"a Misunderstanding" as stated by
the Advertiser. 1t is largely
matter of opinion and unfortunate
ly for Mr.. Dole, popular opinion
has turned against him.
The statement has been made
by government men that when
the $500 item passed the auditing
department, representations were
made that it was a part of the
funds expended in the interests of
annexation. We sincerely hope
this statement will be promptly
denied and shown to be a misun-
derstanding in fact. We will
await the Advertisers official
statement, and express an opinion
or an apology according to its
statement of facts.
