II seems that the time has come when
the agricultural press OF the country
should begin TO systematically agi-
tate the question OF teaching the ele-
ments Of agriculture and horticulture
In the country schools. The time was
when the principles OF agriculture we're
not well understood. by even the best
farmers, and no textbook was avail
able for use In such schools But the
past few years have completely revo-
lutlonizod the subject, and now there
are several excellent elementary works
on that subject well adapted to country
school work II is safe TO say that two
thirds OF the pupils who attend our
country schools will stay upon the
farm. and such being the case, Il Is
rlght that the course In such schools
be 40 shaped ~ to be best adapted 10
their needs. Much OF the work there

THE CADET VETERAN.
Hero of Santiago Who Is In a Peculiar
Situation. g.

Last January Cadet Ernest E. Has,
kell, then in his second year at the
United States Military academy at West
Point, strained his back very badly and
was granted sick leave until Aug. Is
that is to say, until the expiration of
the furlough which every West Point
cadet ordinarily receives before begin
ming his career as third class man. OF
course this long leave practically wiped
out one year of Cadet Haskell's course,
and when he once more sees that
"blamed old library dome" on Aug. 20
next he will join the class below that to
which he originally belonged and be
still yearling.
But since Cadet Haskell's sick leave
began he has undergone experiences
that should tend to make his position
as yearling cadet, schoolboy among
SCHOOL, boys, somewhat anomalous and
difficult for time.
When his sick leave began, Cadet
Haskell went to Washington and put
his strained back in charge Of DR.. Leon
ard Wood, since colonel of the rough
riders and now military governor of
Santiago de Cuba. Cadet Haskell's
back got well early in May, and Cadet
Haskell thereupon applied to the secre-
tary Of war for permission to spend the
remainder of his sick leave at the front.
Permission being given, he Joined his
physicians regiment, the rough riders,
at San Antonio, became lieutenant in
that already famous command, accom-
panied it to Cuba, behaved with distin-
guished gallantry in the fight of June
"a and the battle of July l, was slight
~ wounded but not disabled in the first
fight and horribly wounded in the Sec
ond, was invalided home, was recon-
mended for promotion by his colonel
and is now in Washington rapidly get
ting over his wounds
In short, Cadet Haskell is good deal
of military hero and distinguished
officer of volunteers But so far as his
relations to the regular army are con-
cerned he is still merely Cadet Haskell,
with three years Of school between him
and his commission as second lieutenant.
When Cadet Haskell goes back to
West Point as we suppose he must If
he wants to be an officer in the regular
army, we should think he would feel at
first little awkward in the boyish
roundabout and boyish turn down collar
of the cadet, that he would find it a
little odd to be ordered about by cadet
officers who have never seen service, and
that the whole exact mechanical routine
of West Point life would seem to him
little fat, stale and improbable. We
believe the highest military Office with
in his reach will be a corporalcy, and
though ordinarily a yearling corporal is
the most exalted military being in Gre
alton man who has won his commits
sion by conspicuous gallantry in actions
might find it difficult to duly value the
cadet corporalcy.
1t is to be feared that Cadet Haskell's
course at West Point will be more diff
cult rather than easier for the military
experience gained by him during his sick
eave.-Rochester Democrat and Chron'

Some Famous PRAYERS.

Two prayers parallel each other in
quaintness of thought and speech. The
first is that of La Hire, Joan Of Arcs
choice rufian, but, according to Mon
strelet, no worse than any other of his
time:
"Fair Sir God, 1 pray thee do to La
Hire as he would do to thee vert thou
La Hire and he were God. u
A curious parallel this with:
Here Iieth Martin Elginbrod;
Have mercy on his SOUL o God,
As he would have If he were God
And thou vert Martin Elginbrod.
Quoted from memory, on the authori-
ty of George Macdonald, an epitaph, l
think, in an Aberdeen burial ground.
But nobler prayer, paralleled by
some passages in our own Bible, is that
Of Socrates in the Phedo:
go beloved Pan and all ye other
gods of this place. grant me to become
beautiful in the inner man and that
whatever things I have may be at peace
with those within. May deem the
wise man rich, and may have such
portion of gold as none but prudent
man can either bear or employ. Z"
Is this so very unlike that lovely
prayer of Agur where he says, "Give
me neither poverty nor riches, and is
the one holy and the other not?-Tem-

Tho General Housework Lady.

She has arrived at last, the general
homework lady. She has been for some
time expected. We have had the sales
lady-a great many of her-the wash
lady and the scrub lady, and now the
lady of all work has appeared. She has
appeared in cold print, too, and there
is no installing her. The following adj
vertisement appeared in one Of the New
York morning papers in the "Help"
column on Wednesday:
"Well recommended lady for general
housework; good cook and laundfess;
reference. y
There is no mistake about it, and the
homework lady demands her perquisites
Immediately. She is recommended, and
she asks for references. If she does not
intend to duplicate her own assertions
of worthiness, that is certainly the
meaning of the last word Of the adver-
tisement. That may not be so unreason-
able, and no one would wish to deprive
the homework lady of that or many.
other perquisites if her assumption OF
the title was not such bitter, biting
satire.
A real homework lady, with neat,
dainty ways, kitchen faultlessly clean,
food perfectly cooked and faculty for
handling dishes without ornamenting
them with unnatural scallops, would be
welcomed with open arms. But the

enough to hear the earth rattle down

July he received two pieces of hard tack.
1t was 33 hours later when he touched
food again.
Fighting his way up to Bloody hill
that afternoon hungry, faint, tortured
with thirst, but obeying orders, Brady
saw man ahead of him go down, shot
through the heart Almost instantly
another man fell on the dead one, shot
through the shoulder.
Brady took the second one and laid
him on his back. The wounded man
looked up and saw a buzzard blinking
in tree.

valescent, "but this wounded chap says

A procession was formed to carry the
