He Is Advised to Buy a Farm and
Live on 1t.
New York Independent.

New York Independent.
A pastor. forty-four years of age, writes
that he is facing the probable need of re-
tirement within a few years. He lacks the
nerve force for moving a body of people
who must go habitually with all their cares
to a pastor. He is led to follow the Sug-
gestion of the Independent, and try to get
a footing in the country. He believes that
with the sentiment of independence con-
nected with such a home, he could do much
better intellectual work; and probably have
more moral fiber for obeying his convictions
of duty. He has not money Ito buy a
farm" as he expresses it, but must content
himself with from ten to thirty acres"
This he may set down as a Providence.
From ten acres to twenty are quite enough
for any minister to undertake to bring into
subsection AS a rule, We may SET II down
that five acres will be quite enough to ex-
pertinent with. Bring these to their best
cultivation, and they will make larger re-
turns than fifty acres under average tillage
and as for the exercise, they will prob
ably furnish sufficient. What is wanted
more than cash is experience. Experience
is the total of the conclusions of the work
OF years-including mistakes. To succeed
on the land needs first of all the teachable
spirit; and as some one says, "teachabie
hands" No one will succeed unless he is
willing to work, and work in the dirt. In
fact, 1t may be as well to understand that
there must be a sort of enthusiasm for dirt
"a sympathy for mother earth, and what
she can do for us and with us. A good
farmer may also be a good literary man;
but he will do most of his writing with a
hoe. On the whole, this preacher does well
to anticipate retirement from present occu-
patton, even if he can do fairly good work
in the pulpit for many years yet. Why not
combine the two occupations? Why should
not every preacher in these days do, as
our earlier pastors did, plant orchards and
cultivate gardens? 1t was stipulated with
a pastor in the early part of the nineteenth
century that he should have a good garden
plot and "a corn lot" Nearly all our pro-
fessional men with the training that they
have ought to succeed in small farming or
horticulture-or at least in some branch OF
this sort OF work. The land is peculiarly
welcome to a man whose life has had a
flavor OF dependence on other peoples wills
and whimS. When a man can put his foot
on his own property he gains a sense of in
dependence, especially if he can say to him.
self that he can dig a good living out OF
the soil. Buy a few acres; within ten miles,
If possible. of a good market; and then be-
gin your experience. Do not plant too free
ly of any one crop; but more or less OF all
kinds of fruits and vegetables. Let the ex-
pertinent expand with experience. and the
paintings increase according to the market
secured. But do not go near the soil unless
you can be as proud of your cabbageS as
was the EmnprOr DioCletidn.

Of the sea clearly and intelligibly. And
world more about oceanic currents than
all the investigation of centuries could IN
other ways.
One interesting and unique discovery that
has been made as a result OF government
bottle drifting Is I'm regard 70 the voyage
of 1t has been ascertained posi-
lively that all bottles cast adrift between
Madeira and Spain ultimately are bound TO
find their way to the Windward Islands,
the Bahamas or to the shores of Mexico.
Now. every one knows the story OF how
the mutinous and ~despairing sailors of the
caravels took heart when Columbus called
their attention to floating branches and
other debris from shore. They accepted II
joyfully as sure evidence that they were
nearing land. As a matter of fact, 1t is
more than probable now. IN the light OF
what the bottles have taught US, that what
they saw came not from America. but from
the very shores that they had left.
The average daily velocity OF the'seventy-
four bottles which landed on the coast or
Europe and Iceland was five miles. The five
bottles which drifted entirely across the
ocean from west 10 east unite in giving an
average somewhat higher than usual, the
last two having Travelled ia and SO miles
per day, respectively. For the thirteen

CULTIVATING BUTTERFLIES.
Hundreds of the Creatures Liberated
in a London Park.
London Mail.

%O40O4
Some months ago the Daily Mail an
nounced that the London County Council
was fayorably considering a proposal to
introduce some of the pretty English but
terties into the parks of the metropolis.
The scheme was approved, and the work
is now going on of stocking Battersea Park
as a first experiment.
In a corner of the sheltered botanic gar
den there a house some IA feet by 10 feet
has been erected. AT first sight il looks like
a greenhouse of the familiar type, but clos
er examination shows that a sheet of per-
forated zinc alternates with each row of
glass panes.
In this no less than $500 caterpillars have
chiefly of the smaller tortoiseshell butterfly.
The success which has attended their rear
ing on f~reshly-cut nettles through the
chrysalis stage is shown by the fact that
the winged insects are being tuned loose in
the park to the number of 400 a day.
At first windows in the house were left
open TO allow the inmates to fly out as soon
as their wings had properly unfolded, but
guests, as they do into the houses at the
Zoo, and commenced to eat the butter
flies. Consequently, other means were TAX
EN- to iiberate the butterflies, so that they
might have fair play.
Experience goes to show that when the
white butterflies which still visit the park
hrst make their appearance the Sparrows
prey upon them, but gradually leave them
alone, and possibly the tortoiseshells and
peacocks and red admirals. when they ap-
pear, will be treated similarly.
1t appears as IL the experiment would
succeed, as large numbers of the new but
1T is hoped that in the natural order of
events they may deposit their eggs on the
nettles growing in the inclosed places.
Even IL artificial rearing has still to be
continued, it would seem that the trouble
is we'll worth taking at Battersea and else
where.

An Age of Bridge Building.
Leslie's Weekly.


This is going to be a century Of bridge
building. The greatness of it, in the opin-
ion of both engineers and constructors, has
only begun, and the very remarkable state
ment is made that to-day the bridge prod
uct of the United States is not equal to the
bridge decay, much less to the universal
and increasing demands that are coming
from all parts of the world. It is admitted
that there has been a great deal of bad
bridge building in the United States, and
there are many structures which are not
safe. A distinguished engineer lays for
Leslie's Weekly this rule as applicable to
any bridge, whether it be a mere way over
a small creek, or a vast accumulation of
masonry and iron spanning a wonderful
river:
when you see Walk Your Horses or
Slow Up or Drive Carefully or Do Not
Follow Too Closely On TO the Other Team
on any bridge. it is a sign of danger. The
bridge should either be rebuilt or thrown
away entirely. There is no reason why the
bridge should not be as firm as the high
way OF which 1t should always be a part. :"
This matter thus comes home to every
farmer in the country, and he may begin
to see that some of his bridges, built cheap
ly and possibly by political contracts, are
about the dearest investments he could pos
Sibly make.

Blessed Be Hot Water.
Chicago Evening Post.

Hot water tipplers are convinced that
they have found a cure-all for the average
i'll. When tired, drink it as a tonic. When
hot and thirsty, drink it as a cooler, for it
never disappoints, and dear me, how cheap
it is and how good when one has formed
the habit.
Headache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot water to
the feet and back of the neck.
A towel folded, dipped in hot water,
quickly wrung out, and applied quickly
over the seat of pain will in most cases
promptly relieve toothache and neuralgia.
A strip of flannel or towel folded several
times lengthwise and dipped in hot water,
then slightly wrung out and applied about
the neck of a child suffering with an acute
attack of Group will usually relieve the
sufferer in the course of ten minutes if
the flannel is kept hot.
Hot water, if taken freely a half hour
before bedtime, is one Of the best possible
cathartics in severe cases of constipation,
while it has a soothing effect Upon the
stomach and bowels.
There is no domestic remedy that so
promptly cuts short congestion of the
lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as will
hot water when applied promptly and
thoroughly.

New York Evening Post.

1t began TO rain and the stranger in the
city said: Il wish we'd brought along an
umbrella" His friend, the New Yorker,
quickly responded: Wait; I'll get you one
As it was late in the evening, all the shops
were closed.A moment later the New York
er drew his companion into a brilliantly
lighted cafe, and walked briskly Up to the
bar:
lis that umbrella there-that one 1 left

front of the glasses: crooked brierwood
handle, silver band"
The man turned. opened a locker, pulled
forth a h~alf-doZen umbrellas, found one
with a crooked brierwood handle and a sill
yer band. and handed it out.
could you do that in every s%aloon?' the
stranger inquired timidly, when the two
were once more in the street.
Il could. but you couldn't" the native de-
clared; you couldn't say IL quick enough"
But how did you know they had a brier-
wood, crooked-handle umbrella in there?"
Il didn't: L took a chance There is not
a well-patronized cafe in the city that does
not have a collection of lost umbrellas.
Some bright Thursday morning / will lose

Funston and the Press.
Harper's Weekly,

A newspaper dispatch from North Caro-
lima reported the other day that Funstons
great-grandmother was a niece OF Daniel
Boone, and a cousin of Lewis and Clark,
the explorers. IL that is true il helps to
account for some of the restlessness in his
blood.
Kipling's latest story is the story OF the
education of a boss scout, and in the last
instalment of il one Of the little scouts
teachers says: From time to time God
causes men 20 be born who have a lust TO
go abroad at the risk of their lives and to
discover news-to-day it may be far-of
things, tomorrow of some hidden noun
tain, and the next day of some nearby
men who have done a foolishness against
the state. These souls are very few There
is a great deal about Funston's record to
make it seem likely that he is one of these
few. AT any rate he is interesting, and he
did a very useful and important service in
catching Aguinaldo, though Aguinaldo's
bolt was pretty we'll shot before he was
caught. A great deal of nonsense will be
written about Funston, and We must not
think the worse of him for it, for he cannot
help il.

Philadelphia Record.

A New York plumber was the victim Of "A
startling error the other day. Having been
injured in the left side, he applied to a
charity hospital and was told that an oper-
alton was imperative. He was placed
under the influence of an anesthetic. and
his side was opened and sewed up again.
When the bandages were removed he found
that the right Cor. rather, the wrong) side
had been opened instead of the left. The
surgeons were dismayed. and offered 10 cut
into him on the left side. but he declined.
The plumber brought suit against the hos
pital authorities for $500. but the court
has decided that a claim on account of neg
lIgence or inefficiency cannot hold against
a charity hospital. This ruling might prove
TO be a great hardship TO the poor who are
compelled to go to such institutions for
surgical treatment. LIZ the plumber did not
pay for the treatment he is not entitled TO
sympathy, since he confessed TO an income
of 5000 a year. The abuse of the free dis
pensaries and clinics OF New York by we'll
to-do per sons has become "A scandal. even

Virtues of ButtermiIk.


The virtues of that old-fashioned and
easily-procured drink, butermilk. have not
been half sung these days. Physicians say
that its Tactic acid is even more healthful
than the citric acid of oranges and lem
ons. 1t is credited. too. by those who should
know, as being of value TO a una
patient. 1t has been found TO be both nour-
ishing and fattening. as well as remark
ably easy OF assimilation. In liked at all il
is undoubtedly a better drink in summer
than many of the carbonated, artifcially
favored drinks that ore consumed in al
most unlimited quantities.
