HUSBANDRY is VERY OLD.
Til1ing the Soil Was Doubtless Man's
Earliest OccuputiOn-CereaI
Cultivated.

The origin of agriculture is lost in
the miss of antiquity. We know that
in Neolithic times in Europe eight
kinds of cereals We're cultivated, be-
sides flax, peas, poppies, apples, pears
bullace, plums, etc, at the same time
various animals were domesticated
Among these were horses, short.
horned oxen. horned sheep, goats. two
breeds of pigs and dogs. Prof. w.
Boyd Dawkins says that evidence goes
to show that these animals were not
domesticated in Europe, but probably
in the central plateau of Asia. He
also thinks that agriculture arose in
the south and east of Europe, and
spread gradually to the center. north
and west. a hunting population is
often very averse to even the slight
amount of work that agriculture re-
quires i'll tropical country. The
same holds good, as rule, for pas.
toral communities. In all cases a pow
erful constraint is necessary to force
these people into uncongenial employ.
ment. Fate is stronger than will. and
at various periods in different climes
hunters and herders have been forced
to till the soil.

Man who WINS Borne on RIondtn's

The man whom Blondin carried

rope is still living in Chicago at the
age of ~. His name is Harry Colcord.
and his business that of portrait and
landscape painting AS the story of
his exploit existed only in newspaper

tails. Colcord in his early days spent
four years on whaler. His physique
was well seasoned when he fell in with
Blondin, and his weight 1875 pounds,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. In
crossing Niagara his chief part was to
forget that he had the power of inde-
pendent movement. Three times he
was carried over on the rope, and that
was enough. for the horror of the
business grew upon him.
When he has the nightmare now il

COERCED A CORPORATION.
New Jersey Woman Compelled a
hallway to Give Her a
Special Train.

Miss Rose Heritage, of Gloucester
City, N. j., is probably the only
woman in the country who has ever
dictated to big railway corporation
and, perhaps, the only woman who
has ever had the distinction of rid
ing on a special train all her own. A
few days ago Miss Heritage went to
visit Mrs. William Sayer, of Clayton.
She took an evening train on the
West Jersey and seashore railroad
for her home. The train had been
delayed by slight accident and was
over an hour late. After getting
aboard the conductor informed her
that she would have to change cars
at Glassboro, as his train did not stop
at Gloucester. and she could take the
next train in from there.
Miss Heritage protested. but final
ly yielded, and, after waiting till
nearly ten O'Clock. she inquired of
the operator at the station when the
next train would arrive. She was
told that the train had left before
she stopped. owing to the lateness of
her train. She insisted that he tele-
graph for an express to stop for her,
but this was refused, the officials
saying she could go 10 hotel at the
company's expense and leave for
home in the morning.
Miss Heritage's mother was i'll at
home and she was anxious 10 move,
so she refused, saying the company
was responsible for her being put off
and they would have to take her to
troversy Miss Heritage was told to
wait a few minutes, and in q short
time an engine and ear pulled up.
She got aboard and in IL minutes she
was landed in Gloucester and in "A

DREADED THE CHINESE.
wife of the Italian Minister mt Pc

There.

The Italian minister in Peking,
Marquis Salvaggo Raggi, has with
him his wife and only child
Paris, boy eight years old. He is
handsome man, about 35 years old
while his wife is beautiful to an
unusual degree. She was always
called La Bella Palalvicini" before
her marriage. She was extremely
reluctant to go to China when her
husband was appointed minister in
1898, having already been there when
the marquis was attache at the le-
CATION. Being timid and nervous by
disposition, she was in continual fear
because she could not bring herself
to trust the natives. She was not
with her husband when his appoint
ment was decided upon and, seeing
the announcement in the newspaper,
telegraphed: II hope the horrible
news is not true" In fact. the new
minister left Italy for China alone,
TO be greeted on his arrival by the
news of his fathers death. After
that the marchioness joined him at
once.

CABINET GOSSIP:
Rumors that Most Of the Members will
Retire In March.

A Washington dispatch states tlrat II
is thought that in next March all OF
the members of the Presidents cabi-
net except Secretary of War Root and
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson will
retire, and that there are only two who
will remain with the President in the
event of his election. The dispatch
states:
No doubt is expressed among those
who know that but for its effect on
Republican prospects Secretary Hay
would not wait until March before
leaving. One strong reason is his ill
health. As it is, his friends would not
be surprised to hear Of his resignation.
Secretary Gage determined more
than a year ago to leave official life at
the end of Mr. McKinley's first term
and so informed the President. He
mas offered a variety of reasons, the
chief one being that his private inter-
eSts require all his attention. The At
torney General also wishes to devote
his time to private affairs, 'and the
same cause has been assigned by the
Secretary of the Navy and by the Post
master General.
Secretary Hitchcock has not stated
any particular reason to his friends,
but he has not been a popular member
of the Cabinet and his personal differ
ences with several public men have
not contributed to party harmony.
Secretary Root is said to be the real
cause of this wholesale detection. The
Secretary of War is now the most in
fuential of the Presidents advisers,
and in this capacity he has superseded
Secretary Long, who for the past
three years has been the trusted con-
fidant of his Chief.

DIVORCE IS TOO COMMON.
The Courts of England Are Granting
Them More Than Ever
Before.

Official figures show that the d.
vorce court in England was not near
ly so busy in 1898 as it had been in
1897. In the latter year $50 and in
1898 43 marriages were dissolved. 1t
is worthy of note that over IS per
cent. of the petitions presented to
the divorce court had reference 10
marriages of from five to twenty
years standing. The majority of all
the petitions presented were from
husbands, hut of those relating to
marriages of 20 and more years dura-
tion the larger number We're from
wives. An interesting feature of the
figures of the English divorce court
indicates the auspices under which
the marriages twas in 1898 asked to
annul We're celebrated. About 20 per
cent are to he credited TO the estab-
lished church, about eight per cent.
to other denominations and about 90
per cent. to the registry offices The
fact that two-fifths of all the mar
riages dissolved were childless leads
to the reflection that absence of chill
dren from the fireside tends TO the
dissolution of the marriage tie.
There is no doubt that the presence
of children is a source of strength 10
the matrimonial bond. because il
adds unspeaKably to the happiness OF
the married couple.
