ENGLISHFARMING PROFITLESS
Agriculture Beggars Everyone Who
Engages in 1t.

I<HSdpcS III II.
Compared with other and rougher coun-
tries it IS curious to note the ceaseless
nature Of the work needful to the carry
ing on Of an English farm. We have
brought cultivation to such pitch Of SCI
ence that every day has its appropriate
and necessary labor. without which all
would be spoiled Yet the pity of it is
that, Notwithstanding the care, knoWl-
edge and intelligence which are put into
the working of the land. under present
conditions it can scarcely be made to
pay. The machinery works. the mill
goes round the laborers earn their wage,
and the beast his provender the good
man rises early and rests late, taking
thought for the day and the morrow, but
when at Michaelmas he balances his
books there is no return, and To- the
bailiff stands within the gates. Although
there have been CLEANS of hope during
the past year III our parts the ancient
industry of agriculture is nearly mort
bund, and if the land is farmed fairly it
IS in many instances being worked at
loss or at any rate without Il living profit.
The reader may say that this is I'M
possible, that no one would carry on the
business under these conditions, yet it is
still carried on in many cases from sheer
force of habit or because those who
practice it have nothing else to which
to turn. The small farmers only too
often keep up the game till they are beg
CARED, when they adjourn to the work
house or to live upon the charity of
their friends. The larger farmers go on
until they are absolutely impoverished
and retire into cottage, or, if they are
fortunate, find position as steward
upon some estate. The landlords with
farms upon their hands work them with
capital borrowed at high interest from
the bank till they can let them upon any
terms to any sort of tenant. Unless
they have private means to draw on, or
are able to earn money, into their end
it is best not to inquire; they sink and
sink till they vanish beneath the surface
of the great sea of English society and
their ancient homes and accustomed
place are filled by the successful spec
ulator or south African millionaire

Eall Bearings Did 1t.

Bicycles were invented centuries ago,
but it required the magic touch of the
nineteenth century inventor to make the
wheel a most useful vehicle, instead Of
a mere toy.
Ball bearings did it. 1t was a case
where the Improvement has proved great
er than the original invention. The prin-
ciple that reduces friction to minimum
in bicycle is applicable to all machin-
cry, and the cost is the only obstacle in
the way of what will be known in history
as the Light Draft Era in mechanics.
Millions of dollars have been spent in this
direction. The Deering Harvester Com
pany, Of Chicago, solved the problem, as
far as grain binders and mowers are con-
cerned, by equipping their machines with
roller and ball bearings in 1891.
Other manufacturers in this line have
since followed with several kinds of eX-
perimental roller bearings, but the Deer
ing machines are still alone in the field
with ball bearings of the bicycle pattern.
The Deering Company's annual cata-
logue for 1899 contains some very inter
esting historical matter on this subject,
fully illustrated. The book also describes
the largest factory in America and gives
the latest news on the subject Of harvest
ing machinery Send for one: it's free.

Our New Colonies and Sugar.

The United States and her colonies,

three years ago, 100000 tons of sugar;
they produce more than that today, in
spite of Cuba's deficit The rest of the
world produces 100000 tons, and sells
4 goodly proportion to the United States.
What the people need to save their in

that bounty. To attain this end sugar

Good Man. Dawes.

Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
has builded better than he knew and
earned the gratitude of all right minded
people. The assessment of 100 per cent.
on the stock of the defunct National
Bank of Illinois will do more to wake
up the directors and stockholders in
banks and other corporations than any
law or appeal which could be made.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that he will
collect every dollar and send the crimi-
nally-negligent directors to the peniten-
tiary, where they belong, and where they
cannot shift their duties as they have
made habit of doing, even after the
bank had failed. 1t is bit hard on the
poor holders of a few shares, but the
same had no right to be profting as they
were from Il business which was not
honestly managed, and they are now
called upon to suffer for sinful neglect

The Discovery. OF an Artist.


In the cathedral of Nantes, France,
there is q monument to Francis the Sec
ond of Bretagne and his wife Margaret,
which is considered one of the master
pieces of French sculpture. 1t is over
300 years old, and until twenty-odd years
ago no one knew to whom to aScribe it.
Then, by chance, an old stone slab was
discovered in the same cathedral, bear
ing the following inscription:
81, Michel Colomb, was q poor for
saken boy, whose only home was the
highroad, where alone God and our Bre-
tagne saints watched over me- [ often

Amateur Theatricals in New York
City.
A revival of amateur theatricalS is in
teresting New York society just now.
For Il number Of years there has been
nothing of the kind in fashionable en-
tertainmcnts. but, now that the pendu-
lum has swung back, several plays have
been announced, with Il prospect of more
to follow. The one about which there
is the greatest futter of interest is the
performance of 'Trelawny of the Wells
to be given by well-known society peo-
pie. ''Trelawny' has the advantage of
exciting a double curiosity. There is the
perennial interest which people always
feel in seeing their friends on the stage,
and in this case there is the additional
fun Of beholding them in what seems
to us the utterly absurd dress Of forty
years ago. "Trelawny" is Il pleasant
enough little play. but it is its deli"iously
queer hats, its billowing hoopskirJs, its
capillary waterfalls arrested by large
chenille nets, and its angel sleeves which
have convulsed its audiences with de-
light. Society is already smiling at the
prospect of seeing itself as others would
have seen it forty years ago.-Harper's
Bazaar.

1t. Mr.. Johnson is postmaster at Erma.

Of his store, and accordingly, began the
excavation for cellar. lie did the work
himself, during dull periods of the day.
Thus 1t came about that he dug up rust
eaten can which broke open and re-
vealed the gold.
The poStmaster's father. II is generally
believed, buried the money although the
old gentleman says he did not. The elder
Johnson retired from business ten years
ago because times were growing too swift
for him.
He recalls the days when the stage
coach journeyed from this place to Cape
May court house and then to Bridgeton
and Philadelphia. The nearest bank in
those days was at Bridgeton. There was
considerable gold in circulation at times
and this was usually held and deposited
underground pending a trip to Bridgeton
Mr.. johnson is positive that he dug up all
he ever buried, although he admits he
frequently had two or three deposits in
the earth while awaiting a chance to
bank it.
