THE PARIS CONGRESS.

The cause OF agriculture should be ad-
vanced through the exhibits and delib-
erstions at the Paris exposition Of 1900.
Our government will do much TO exploit
the agricultural resources Of the United
States, calling attention OF the millions
70 the splendid food products OF which
we have en- exportable surplus. The ex-
hibition Is the sixth international con-
gress Of agriculture for the consideration
OF world vide topics along this line. A
good many questions will be presented
for discussion, and eminent specialists
have been appointed TO prepare the
preliminary reports for the opening
Of this congress, which is TO be held
some time during the summer under the
patronage Of the French government.

She fetched very low price, and How

Beecher pondered the subject. then

GEORGE WAsHlNGTok-PHlLLlS
WHEATlEY,

Who the former Was needs no explain
alton, he has been known and read OF
all for many years, bat who the latter
was IL not so clear 10 many, and there
fore few words may be necessary to
make II so.
Phillls wheatley Was q native OF
Africa, where she was stolen from her
home, and brought to Boston, and sold
as a slave to John Wheatley in 1851. She
happened TO fall into good hands. and
being OF kind and gentle disposition,
the children Of the family soon began to
teach her to read, she being then seven
or eight years old. In few years she moi
only became good scholar In English,
but also acquired considerable knowl-
edge Of Latin.
In the meantime Phillis took to writ.
ing poetry, and some Of her productions
are really fine, considering that they
were written by an African slave girl.
Oae of the Wheatleys, having occasion
to visit London on business, Phillis &C
companied him for the benefit Of her
health, which was somewhat delicate,
and while there her poems were pub
lished for the first time. This was In
1878.
Three years later Phillis wrote Z
eulogy In verse on Washington, q copy
of which she sent to bis headquarters,
then In Cambridge, and here 10 the letter
he wrote In reply to It:

During the summer season the best
mode of providing dust bath is to dig
out space in the poultry yard, three
feet square and about six or eight inches
deep. When dirt is dry, sifr 1t back into
the place from which II was taken, and
when so doing, sprinkle little carbolic
acid over IL, to give 1t the characteristic
odor. After each rain, stir the dirt and
make IL fine, but 1t need not again be
sifted. The hens will resort TO IL, and
rid themselves of lice. II the poultry
house Is kept clean, and dust bath Is
provided, the hens can keep their bodies
free from lice with its use.

The above suggests y few instances In
which . compositor in the Democrat
Office has builded better than he knew In
devi,ting slightly from the letter OF hi
copy. Fortunately for the reputation OF
the establishment, none OF the errors
mentioned got BY the proofreader.
For two reasons, 1t is perhaps hardly
worth while 70 mention the Instance In
which compositor some years since, In
setting = paragraph regarding the cele
brstion OF It's Northumberland lftietf
anniversary by the city OF Portland
transformed "Qusrto-mlllennium" Into
"qusrter-mile-run." The Handwriting

Another slight deviation from cop,
which hewed close To the line Of truth
WAS made 10 the local correspondence
from an Oxford County town where th'
streams were 'fshed to death" one sea

upon the matter at frequent intervals
and one week made the brief report

COWS AND CALVES.


Some writers and farmers recommend
that the COW be dried up at least six
weeks or TWO months previous TO fresh-
ening. This Is an old idea, and whether
or not it will be borne out by more re-
cent Developments Is an interesting ques-
ton. From personal experience l nave
not very much use for the COW that must
20 dry so long before cslving. IL does
not seem AZ all necessary, either Tor the
COW or the dairy produce. Advanced
feeding has made long periods OF dry
ness unnecessary.
The fact that a COW will give milk up
10 time Of freshening and requires 10 be
MIXED does not Of necessity imply that
the milk should be taken into the dairy.
The prime factor in owning the COW that

The COW that will milk continually must

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.

The intelligent compositor ID some
thing Of humorist, and not always an
unconscious humorist either. Some Of
his greatest fests have occurred In Phila-
delphia, where the great editors write .
very execrably bad manuscript. In one
case correspondent, who was describ-
Ing . tarring and feathering scene, at
which he Was present only In profes-
sioual capacity, Was made TO say get
ting the feathers ready for us,' instead
Of "ready for use." The same news
paper Office had printer who turned the
expression "from alpha 70 omega" In
TO "from apples to oranges" and con-
veyed the impression that somebody
had set the Delaware River on fire, By
calling ferry-boats "fery hosts"
A coOking-school called the "New
Century" was cruelty made to appear -
the "New Cemetery" and doubtless the
same pessimistic typo changed the
"MasQue Of Pandora" Into the "Morgue
of Pandora" A diver who had found two
old bells In the Delaware went before the
public as q "driver" who had found
''two old bills" The Scripture allusion
TO the lesven that "leaventh the whole
lump" WAS perverted into the startling
agricultural announcement that the
leaven had leaveued "the whole turnip."
A foreign editor who wrote that the
British lion WAS "shaking his mane''
was edited the next morning with the
announcement on his authority that the
national animal In question was "skat-
ing In Maine." A more natural error
Was that which called "a member OF the
Legislature" "member OF the liquor
store"
Ous OF the Philadelphia morning
papers, which formerly gave close at
tention to marine news, Informed It's
readers on one occasion that. the bark
Betsey Jane had arrived at Honolulu
"with an oil-well on board" Investigs-
ton proved that there was nothing 10
the report except "sll we'll on board"
An old-time Inn named the "Star and
Garter Hotel" was once rechristened by
q printer a. "the Shoe and Gsiter

DEvoURED BY RED ANTs.-A min
ing man who reg ched Ell Paso, Texas,
from the State of Sinaloa, Mexi-
co, yesterday, tells the story OF
tue horrible punishment recently in-
flicted on James Wilson, renegade
American prospector, by Mayo In
dians. Wilson had been in the Indian
country of Sinalos for month, and was
on good terms with he semi-clvilized
race, which is now at war with Mexico.
He was accustomed to spend much OF
his time in the villages, and finally
won the affections OF handsome
Young girl. Instead OF marrying the
girl according to the rites OF her tribe
he decoyed her to his camp in the
mountains and kept her there against
her wish. She finally escaped to tell
the story aud Wilson fled. He was
overtsken and carried back. AS a
punishment for his crime it was order
ed that he be put to death by method
common with the Mayos. The pros
pector was stripped of his clothing and
bound across an ant hill infested py
large red ants. After many hours oil
horrible suffering the insects slowly
ynewed away his flesh and Wilson ex'
piIed. Wilson was reputed to be a
fugitive from Justice from Oklahoma.
