and it was ever coveted prize for
the revenues that Israel could always
raise. A combined stock and farm
system is the hope OF our future and
in that and not in pure silver, the
ownership and control of railroads,
telegraph lines, &c, will our hopes
ever be realized. There would soon
cone time when We would have more
grain and hay than we could use,
more flesh than the county could
consume, more milk, butter andcheese
than to supply the demand and
transportation of products would
give to all classes ''bresd and butter"
and to the common carriers commerce
and prosperity, and with the other
good and gracious gifts would be
independence to the farmers.
Oar farms produce diets that should
make US the heartiest and most long
lived of ali classes of men. Our rus
tic tables for health and happiness do
even now "set at naught" the kingly
barquets. The hale, hearty. bright
eyed, barefooted boys aud girls that
daily gather around our tables need
not envy those who sit at the royal
feasts. The farmers wife who sits
down her husband and children at
night to repast and supper on a
sweet corn hoecake and fresh, cool
buttermilk, prepares her family for a
quiet, delightful, happy rest, denied
to the inmates of the monarch's
hcme.
A little more providence and fore
sight would make his home that fairy
land from which the loved ones would
not long to wander. There is no
need Of our boys seeking peace and
prosperity in the mercantile world
nor in the busy marts of trade. Our
country girls can find useful employ
ment and spend happy life and not

live in total ignorance OF The hypo-
cracy, vice and wretchedness that
lives in great deal of our city So

fraud that is covered over in much OF

that all that glitters is not gold! The
poet has we'll said that "silded tombs

Country people, especially tie
young are misled and deceived by the
appearances of city society and by
the deception and show Of apparent
wealth. There is great deception
in appearances and people catch On
to the deceptive part more and
quicker than on to the real advant-
ages and worth of city society and
high life. We have chance to be the
most independent and the bappiest
men and women on earth and many
people in fashionable society would
be glad to give up their environments
for free umtrammelled life. The
Jew had another idea in this life which
rendered all Israel one great big So

A Mind Reading Trick.

The mind reading trick of finding con-
cealed articles is absurdly easy" declared
New Orleans newspaper man. 1T can.
be done by almost anybody of ordinary
intelligence. The way to 60 about it is
this: Let six or eight people seat them
selves about a room, not too close to-
gether, and have somebody, selected as
assistant, blindfold you with hahdker-
chief and lead you to another apartment.
While you are absent some small article
is hidden anywhere they choose.
On your return take the hand of the
person who did the hiding, tell everybody
to think about the place of concealment
and start i'll a run around the room. Let
yourself be perfectly passive and stop
when you feel an iisSnlse to do so. Then
stretch out the hand that is being held,
grope about. still passive and still obey
ing impulse only, and three times out of
five you'll find the article.
That sounds strange, but it's true,
II you don't believe it, try for yourself
You will improve by practice, by the
way, and finally you'll hit it almost every
time. 1t is capital amusement for a little
evening party, but would warn you not
to be discouraged by Il few failures and
not to permit any laughing or giggling.
The secret OF the thing is undoubtedly
unconscious muscle reading, but z have
not bothered my head about theories.
The facts are as | have stated.'-New

THE HARVEST SEASON.

The stormy, tempestuous and cleo
trical period Of the year is now over.
Comes now, with its ripening suns.
the glorious harvest season. The prom
Use of seedtime and harvest, faiths re-
ward and hopes fruition, is verified
and realized in the click OF the har-
vester sickle, the portly shocks Of
golden grain, the tropical fields of corn
and the big barns full of fragrant,
new mown hay. Fears of untimely
frosts. of cyclonic storms, of insect
pest and blight now fade away as the
memory OF an ugly. troublous dream
before the light Of returning day. The
peace and plenty which gives to the
farm homestead such an indescribable
charm these golden harvest days is
from the Lord and is. among the clang
md rclamor. the restless progress aud
activities Of the age, all there is left to
suggest that peace of living which
originated In the garden Of Eden.

sIoDERN RUSSIA.
The Land stm Feel. the Autocra,,
,Innuence of Peter the
Great.

All nations feel more or less th1
original impetus given them by ont
great man, but probably none so much
us modern Russia. 1t may almost bs
said to have been the creation of one
man. Peter the Great, and the features
he impressed upon the Russian state
are still distinctly visible. A mass Of
barbarism was transformed by him into
a powerful and active member of tho
family of civilized nations. He gave
to his subjects an army, navy and
an educational system. Commerce
with foreign countries, previously for
hidden, he warmly encouraged. The
autocrat transferred his capital to the
shores of the Baltic, and built the great
city which bears his name to be tho
open door to the civilization of thu
western world. He introduced the arts,
the literature, the sciences and the
economic theories of the most advanced
nations. Russia at the present dnN
is actuated by the ideas of the great
ear. In its restless ambition, its sub.
tie and unscrupulous policy, its var.
nish of culture, scarcely hiding the
ferocity of the barbarian, its intoler-
ance of popular liberty and its real
solicitude for the material welfare Of
the people, the Russia of to-day is tho
Russia of Peter the Great.

AMERICAN LANDLoRD,s,.

No more detrimental economic sys-
TEN as affecting the agricultural In
terests of the great northwest can pre-
vail than a system of landlordism and
tenancy modelled after that which pre-
walls in the old countries Of Europe,
relic of the old feudal days. While
of necessity not every man who works
a farm can own it, still our laws
should be SO shaped that the absentee
landlord will find 1t more profitable to
sell his land to the man who will live
on it and work it than to rent it and
spend the proceeds in some far coun-
try. This system Of landlordism is de-
structiNe to all the best interests of
our agricultural civilization. The per-.
petually rented farm needs no written
certificate to prove the curse which
rests upon it. 1t ever advertises the
calamity which has overtaken it. 1t is
the agricultural woman of the street,
whose virtue is for hire; an outcast. a
fair heritage gone astray and in too
many cases beyond redemption Good
citizenship is very closely allied with
land ownership and occupancy From
such homes comes all that is best, all
that makes for the highest type of
American nationality.

THE Dirty work OF LIFE.

Somebody has to do this dirty work.
No matter to what degree of refine
ment we may attain as people. that
which we term the dirty, disagreeable
work of life can never be eliminated or
lodged. Somebody must wash the
dishes, do the family washing, milk the
cows. clean out the barns. The very
effort to be refined and civilized but
makes more Of this dirty work to do.
A type Of education which leads one
to look contemptuously upon and avoid
if possible these omnipresent aud disa-
,greeable duties of life is defective to
the core. That education which ena-
bles the possessor to do this sort Of dis
agreeable work with true manly and
womanly dignity is Of the right kind.
The true American is a man not
ashamed to be seen dressed in wamus
and overalls.

not arduous or firing. The old women,

for making tapa, the native cloth. The
men spend much of their time in mak-
ing fishing nets and tackle. I
In spite of the simplicity of9the na-

vain, and spend good deal Of time i'll
identifying themselves. The hair ID
often plastered with white lime, giving
it, when dry, the effect of white wig,
The lime is washed off by night The
result is a gradual change in the color
OF the hair from red to bright yell

the Samoans quite share the Euro
Peans ideas in regard to beauty. They
particularly admire tall persons.
