FARMERS SHOULD TAKE REST.

Z AIM SAAO OAA = <AAAC Ak4IS ks
In the long run farmers would a.
compllsh more work, make gain in
every way and live longer II they
would take more rest. Many farmers
have the idea that in order to accom-
plish q days work it is necessary to
rise at o'clock in the morning, end
work as long as It Is possible to see.
This method Is wearing on man and
beast, and experience has shown that
no more Is accomplished than In two
thirds that time when the body Is well
rested
There are harvest seasons when it is
necessary to put in long hours IN order
to save crops from possible rains. but
In the long run farmers would accom-
plish more and feel better II they limit
ed their field work to nine or ten hours
per day, instead Of sixteen hours, as
some try to make 1t.
With modern farm machinery twice
as much work can be done IN day as
could have been done 20 years ago, yet
many are not satisfied and count a
days labor the space between daylight
and dark.
It is this everlasting grind and druid
gerry that Is driving many country boys
to the city. Good management will
accomplish more than long hours Of
work without system or method

Russian Language In Trade.

When every progressive young Ger
man is doing his utmost to acquire q
thorough knowledge Of some other
language than his own it seems a
waste of time for the Englishman to
learn German with an idea to making
money. Instead. he should learn Rus
sian. Russian is not only the official
language, but the actual medium OF
communication throughout the empire
that extends from the Baltic to the
Yellow Sea.
Years ago on the Moscow exchange
one might transact business as read
lily in German as in Russian; now the
native merchants, even those who
know German, require some special
inducement to speak it, and In the
hurry Of business turn aside inpatient
" from any one who addresses them
in any other tongue than that they
themselves habitually use. In the near
future q knowledge Of Russian will be
worth more to the mere commercial
than any two continental languages,
for Russia is new America" q
To a young man who adds to q
knowledge of Russian practical expert
ence in any staple industry, Russia
offers a promising career. More theo-
retical knowledge is not enough; this
Is taught, and we'll taught, in the spe-
cial universities; St. Petersburg alone
turns out some hundreds Of efficient
"technologs" every year. Practical
work in any Of the textile, engineering,
or the chemical industries is not so
readily obtainable in Russia, and q
capable Englishman is sure Of an en-
gagement at wage double that he
would receive at home.-PearsoRs 8

Gnttar-Snfpe.

The word snipe, as expressive of con-
tempt with an intimation Of priggish-
ness OF pett!ness, especially impertin-
ence, was very common in Philadel-
phia as far back as 1885, as can we'll
recall my indignation when called ny
it, There can be no question that il
came into use from the German
schnipp or schnippisch-snappish, pert.
saucy. "Gutter-snipe' began to ap-
pear in newspapers some years later.
it would. however, be curious to as
certain whether the term does not eX-
list in some form in Old provincial Eng
lish. Gutter was very naturally
added from its association with mud.
it was generally believed in New Eng
land, and I dare say elsewhere, that
the snipe lived by sucking mud

A euteful Story.

Gambling Resorts In Switzerland.

One need not travel to Monte Carlo
or other gambling resorts to be re-
lieved Of any superfuous easn, fo1
there are dozens Of places In Swltzer-
land, known by the name Of kursaals,
where a customer" will be accom-
nodated.
Although the play is limited by the
law, highest stakes are winked at, and
ones losses-for one invariably loses,
with an to l chance against him at
the race-horse game-may easily run
into four figures during the evening.
Some sensational facts have come tc
light concerning the kursaal in Geneva,
which Is one Of the best Of its kind in
Switzerland. The proprietor lately IN

not possibly afford to run his theatre

Crows to Be Used in Warfare.

According to a Berlin correspondent,
a modest little society in Germany is
apparently pinning its faith to the
crow, in succession to the almost uni
versally used pigeon, as a carrier OF
war news. The pigeon fly experiments
which Germany carried out on British
soil some time ago-sending huge
crates Of birds to Dover for the pur-
pose-were not wholly successful, bad
weather preventing many Of the birds
from reaching their quarters again.
and many were shot by persons IN
search Of dinner. 1t is claimed Win
truth that very few people would shoot
crows for food, and that when liberat-
ed from a beleaguered place the enc
my would be more likely to allow
them to fly past unmolested and un-
suspected than would be the case with
pigeons.

NORTH pAKoTAs FUEL CROP.
The Big Yield Of Corn Makes Heating and
Cooking an Easy Matter.

The Big Yield Of Corn Makes Heating and
Cooking an Easy Matter
Farmers in South Dakota have just.
completed gathering the biggest corn
crop ever raised there. Owing to Its
low price and the great quantities
grown, many are using it for fuel,
burning it in both cooking and heat
ing stoves, especially those living q
long distance from market. Hauling q
big load Of corn 20 miles to market
and returning with a small jag Of coal
bought Herewith makes the grower
feel as though he was not paid for his
labor. Corn makes a very hot IRE, is
clean to handle, makes very little lit
ter and ashes, all Of which commends
it for use as a fuel, although it does
seem a pity to see the mammoth yellow
ears put into the stove. In fact. corn
makes so intense heat that it burns
out the stoves in a short time, which is
its only drawback as fuel. A his.
tory Of the various kinds Of fuel used
by the settlers Of this western country,
where wood Is unattainabie and coal
so expensive, would make long story.
In the very first years hay was most
generally burned by the pfoneers-hay
twists"
These twists were made about the
size of an ordinary stick Of stove wood.
To make them rapidly and OF the
proper tightness to burn-n made too
loose they flicker away, and II toe
tight will not burn-is In Itself quite
an art. Any old-timet will take q
handful Of long hay, give 1t a couple OF
turns and twist, and throw out the
twists with a rapidity that would as
tonish the beholder. Later came the
hay and straw burner or boilers, be-
inc, as the name indicates, large sheet
iron boilers, the size Of an ordinary
washing boiler, only about twice as
deep. They were filed with hay or
straw, tightly pressed in, and turned
over the fireplace Of the cook stove.
They gave a good heat, and. as they
would burn a half heur without re-
filing. were somewhat Of an improve
ment on the twist.
Drought continued year after year,
however, until it became a task to
even furnish the hay or straw, or other
material, to burn in the boilers. Then
came the inventor, mothered by ne
cessity, with the original idea of burn
ing buffalo chips" variously called
"cow chips" prairie gasoline" ma
tive COAL" etc.-St. Paul Pioneer

TO SECURE ICE IN WINTER.

TU SECChU ICU IN WIN
A novel way of securing ice Id winter
is practiced by New Jersey farmer.
He had several vessels made Of sheet
iron, one foot cube. He fills the ves-
sells with water and permits j.: to
freeze. On moderately cold days he
freezes a few inch.s Of wa.e- at q
time, adding more Until the vessel Is
full of ice. The vessels are set IN hot
water for a moment or more and the
cube of ice falls GU when the vessel
is turned upside down. The ice is
packed in a small ice house, the blocks
close together, and covered with saw

A SMOOTH sWINDLE.
Barrios Diamonds Being Sold for the
Genuine.


Genuine.
A couple of smooth srafters are
coming this way with scheme that
seems to make good A travelling man
this morning stated that these graft
ers had loaded their grips up with no.
gus diamonds which they are peddling.
out to people about the country The
stones are mounted and were procur
ed of the Barrios Diamond companv
OF Chicago, and it seems that the brill
nancy is about the same as real dia-
mond. Even, it is claimed, the gov
eminent officials have been deceived
by the stones.
The stones are so much like the real
thing that the grafters have succeed
ed in pawning them at loan shops
about the country and have also secur-
ed large sums from hotel proprietors
on the stones, to whom they have told
tale of woe about their being broke.
They purchase a thiee-carat stone
for about $3.50. With this stone they
have realized in some instances as
high as $500. the value of the stone be-
ing about $780, provided it was gen
uine. The strangest part about these
stones is that they can be put to ev-
cry test the genuine diamond can and
will stand it.
A Courier representative made the
rounds of the pawnshops today to see
If the Barrios had been worked very
extensively One or two places were
found where attempts have been made
to procure loan, and one man who
would not let his name be used said:
i am willing to confess that | have

man came in here last week and want
ed loan on his stone. / looked it oy-
er and it looked good to me. In fact
| | have been handling diamonds for
years and actually bit on that bum
stone. 1t was just as brilliant as any
diamond | ever held in my hands and

right. One day while examining the
stone found the word Barrios on the
inside of the ring. / had been read
