The German Agrarians,



The squirearchy who are described by
that rather pedantic name have for genera
tens past been the foundation, the bed
rock, as the mineralogists say, of the mon
archy, not only in Prussia, but in all the
minor states They have supplied the ar
mics with officers, they have filled the high
er ranks of the civil service and their ten
ants and labo have formed the most i'm
portant section of the soldiery They have
led, If they have not ruled the large body
Oh small 1reeholderS, and that considerable
section OF German society which on almost
every social question falls into rank behind
the artstocracy- They are monarchists to a
man ana the great majority of them are
tories of the old hgh-and-dry type nov 50
nearly extinct in England, tories such as
form bill. Even under the present constitu-
tion whenever they hold together they can
control the reichstag
Ihey are, in fact, driven together By in
terests OF the most peremptory kind Much
poorer than the English squirearchy, and
much more dependent on THE land" they
nave been so nearly ruined by the fall in
agricultural prices that they insist as their
only method of self-preservation, upon re-
tanning a monopoly of the home market
Without this. they say, their incomes VIII
disappear entirely Their demand, to which
they make everything subordinate, is for
protection in its old sense-that is, tsxation
upon imported foOd-and their ideas about
that taxation are decidedly large They
have already raised the price of cereals 10
an artihcial level and they are now irving.

Old Timer,

There are no days like the good old days
The days when We were youthful.
When humankind Were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful:
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion.
And before each dame and maid became
Slares to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls tike the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em.
As buxoD and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord kn how @ make 'ein,
They We're rich in spirit and common sense
piety all-sUpportin'.
They could bake and brew. and had taught school
too,
And they made the likeliest eourtin'.
There no boys like the good Old bows
" hen we were boys together.
When the grass was sweet to the brown hare feat
That dimpled the laughing heather:
When the pewee sung to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the willowy clover
Or down by the mill the whip poar-will
Echoed his night song over.
There Is no love like the soSd old love
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, o. men. yet we pine again
For that precious grace God gave US.
50 we dream AID dream of the good old tifaes
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder.
As those dear old dreams bring suothing gleams
OF heaven away OF yon.ier.

WOOdchucks.



The woodchuck's appetite makes him the
plague of every farmer, and his queer and
interesting ways make him the delight of
every farmers boy. If we dig him out of

Let us take him in by the warm fire in the

usually go but little way from the hole,
and keep sharp watch to see if any one

From Frank Lesie's Popular Monthly.
Twenty-Five years ago the Engineer Of
London, the recognized authority on all
matters pertaining to steamship navigation.
made the prediction that the crossing of the
Atlantic ocean by steamship at the speed
of p miles an hour was one of the things
impossible of accomplishment. At that
time the Atlantic had never been crossed
by screw steamer at as high a speed as
10 miles an hour; the Cunarder Scotia, the
last of the big sidewheelers, never doing
better than an average of 14as knots. There
fore, the prophecy of the Engineer was not
at all wild one. But today there are
steamers that have reached the speed of %
miles an hour, and others are in course of
construction which are expected to sur
pass it The fastest liner of today has done
more than an average of - miles. Her
enormous engines and powerful propellers
mighty powers of propulsion. have forced
her through the toughest waters of the At
lantic at an average speed of y knots
which is fraction over % miles in the
hour. The distance of the Southampton
New York route is 5000 miles. which she
covers, on the average. in days and IL
hours. considerably over p miles an hour
for the entire trip: her mighty engines

-reVolve about so times per minute or
about $4,000 revolutions to cross the At
lantic.

Never Admit Defeat.



Never admit defeat or poverty though
you seem to be down ard have not a cent
Stout:y assert your divine right 10 be a
man. to hold your head up and look the
world in the face; step bravely TO the
front whatever opposes and the world
will make way for you. No one will in
sist upon your rights while you yourself
doubt that you possess the qualities requis-
lite for success Never allow yourself to he
a traitor TO your own cause by undermining
your self-confidence.
There never was time before when per-
sistent, original force was so much in de-
mand as now The narnby-pamby. nerveless
nan has little show in the hustling world
of today. In the twentieth century a man
must either push be pushed.
Every one admires the man who can as
sert his rights and has the power TO de-
mand and take them il denied him. No
one can respect the man who sinks in the
rear and apologies for being in the world.
Negative virtues are of no use in winning
ones way 1t is the positive man, the
man with original energy and push that
FORCES to the front.

The Malayan Night.


AT dusk-here SO close to the equator the
day always ends soon after 6 oclock-the
fotilla halts, the boats being made fast
alongside sand bank The boatmen camp
ashore, and the fires are soon blazing, rice
pots boiling, fish and other things roasting
In the embers. The white men walk about
and stretch their legs, swim in the cool
waters of the river and then gather in the
residents boat for the evening meal
Thereafter they sit smoking, filled with a
great content.
From the sandbank there comes a con-
tinuous hum of soft, melodious voices, for
Malay is a musical tongue, the splash of
feet wading to or from one of the moored
boats sounds frequently, the river croons
gently, like a mother soothing her child to
sleep; from the forest the note of night
bird, insect, and treefrog Is heard cease
lessly, the background, as it were, against
which all the other noises are revealed.
The GOODNESS of the Malayan night in the
quiet up-country places comes gratefully
after the fever of the day. comforting the
white men. making them actively conscious
Of a sense of most complete wellbeing.

How Canned Meat. Are Tested.

From the London News.
Among the most incomprehensibIe pro-
ceedings to be observed within the vast
area of Woolwich reserve depot are the
doings of small party of officials, one of
whom appears to do nothing all day long
but sit at table and tap on the top of tin
canisters with couple of bits OF stick
something after the manner of a child beat
Ing on the upturned end of his drum. The
tins are passed before him about as fast
as he can tap them. and absolutely nothing
seems to come of the game. To the unen-
hghtened oniooker 1t is quite uninteiiigibie
The tins contain meat and before they are
passed into store it is. of course important
to examine the condition of what is in
closed, and this. in fact, is the way it is
done The trained ear of the expert exam
iner can tell whether the meat is in a
wholesome or a putrd condition by the
sound emitted when raped with the stick
Just as the examiner of railway carriage
wheels is supposed to be able to tell
whether the wheel he taps with his ham
mer is cracked or not. The rapidity with
which the business is gone through and the
seeming inattention of the performer with
the sticks and his total Indifference to ali
sorts OF noises about him render the pro-
cedure very curious one to watch. The
test Is said to be practically infallibIe.

TWENTY MILLION A DAY.
Number of Pins to Meet Demands of
Americans.

From the New York Herald.
1t requires an average of more than TWEEN
ty million pins per day to sustain the fall
ing skirts, replace the missing suspender
buttons and meet the other needs of the
American people. What becomes of all
these pins is a question that nobody has
been able to answer, but there is no fall
ing off in the demand. SO that this num-
Der must disappear in some manner every
DAY.
1t is hard to imagine anything simpler
than a pin, and it is a striking proof Of
the complications of our modern industrial
system that every pin in the course of its
manufacture passes through a dozen sepa-
rate processes. involving the greatest skill
on the part Of the operatives employed and
the action Of great amount of automatic
machinery.
The pin makes lis appearance at the fac
tory in the form of barrels of coiled brass
wire. The first process is that of straight
eElng this wire. The coils arc placed on
little machines, from the viselike grip Of
Nhlch they emerge perfectly straight.
Thence the wire is fed into the pinmakng
machine, which is almost as complicated
as printing press. y sharp knife cuts
the wire off into uniform lengths of the
desired size. AS each little length of wire
drops from the knife it falls upon small
wheel, the edge of which is notched into
grooves just large enough to hold The bis
Of wire.
Each piece is carried along by the wheel
until an iron finger and thumb seize and
mold 1t firmly, while an automatic hammer.
by single smart blow, puts a head on one
end Then the embryo pins fall upon an
other Srooved wheel, which revolves hori-
zontally. As they move on in the clasp of
this second wheel tie projecting ends pass
over number of circular steel files, which
neatly grind them to a point. Further on
they encounter pumice stone, which
smoothes off the filed end. and then they
drop into wooden receiving box Sc far
no workman's hand has touched the pins
in their progress from the reel. The cut
ting, heading, pointing and smoothing have
all been done by the wonderful automatic
ma Machinery.
From the wooden boxes the pins go to
the whitening room. where they are
cleaned in revolving barrels filed with saw
dust and receive a nickel coating in big
watts Then they are dried in the Sawdust
barrels and are run through sorting
machine. 1t is impossible TO get the better
OF this machine.
The big department stores and wholesale
dealers buy their pins by the case. a case
contains los dozen papers, 360 pins in each
paper. A single order from the largest
stores usually calls for 100 cases, or nearly
$1,000, 900 pins

Bored by Andrew Lang.
From the Philadelphia Post

Even the shrewdest persons may at times
be deceived. No matter how much people
may differ upon the genius of Andrew
Lang, they are unanimous in regard to his
quick intelligence and his talent for playing
golf Not long ago he was guest at a
very distinguished dinner, which he is said
to have described as an extraordinary sur
vival of savage mysteries. The culinary
part was faultless, but Mr.. Langs enjoy
ment was utterly ruined by having, as he
put 1t. "a budding funny man on the one
hand and a diaboHcally- deaf socialist on
the other" II could not added the ia
nous critic, "tell which of the two was the
more mournful companion
Two weeks afterward it got out that the
socialist was not deaf: that he had come
to the banquet prepared to be bored by less
learned guests; that he had been seated
alongside IAN idiotic middie-aged gentie-
that to protect himself he had simulated q
deafness which kept his neighbor bawling."

The greatest hardships Of war are al
ways realized by the people whose homes
and other possessions are included within the
area of actual hostilites. For these there
are not only the suffering and bereavement
which come from the casualties of battle.
but also the losses. privations and other
hardships going with the ruin and devasta-
ton caused by hostile and contending force,
the invasion of homes and the despoiling
of property. We are reminded of these
things by a unique and valuable reminder
of the condition of affairs in the southern
states during our civil war, which a friend
has placed in our hands.
1t is country newspaper printed on a
strip of highly decorated wall paper, The
newspaper is the Natchitoches Union of
Natchitoches, La, dated November 9. 1869.
1t appears from the leading paragraph on
the editorial page. in which the editor
apologies for having come again. before
his readers with IAN illustrated edition -
that this was not the first issue of the
Union with wall paper backing, The
illustrations" which consist of rosebnd
designs in high colors, are certainly yerv
striking. although they have no obvious
connection with the text. which is far from
being rose colored In tone and sentiment.
