Once when Father Honore, a cele-
brated Capuchin of the seventeenth
century, was preaching on the vanity
Of the world he suddenly produced a
skull, which he held up to view.
Speak he cried. Were you not per-
haps the head of q magistrate? ST.
lence gives consent" Then, clapping
upon the skull the cap of judge, he
continued: "Ah, ha! Hast thou never
sold justice for gold? Hast thou never
been snoring many times during hear
ing, etc? How many magistrates have
sat under the tleurs-de-lis only to put
virtue at disadvantage
Casting aside the skull, he held up
another, which in like manner he nd
dressed, "Wast thou not perhaps the
skull Of one of those beautiful ladies'
who occupy themselves only with
catching hearts after the manner Of
bird catchingT Then, arraylng it in
n headdress, he continued: "Ah, ha,
Empty head! Where are those lovely
eyes which cast such fascinating
glances. that pretty mouth which shap-
ed such gracious smiles, that made so
many unhappy ones to weep in hell?
Where are those teeth which chewed
upon so many hearts only to make
them more tender for the devils eat
ing?' and so on, bringing forth skull
after skull and appropriately decking
them to receive his reproofs.

Few perhaps among the tourists who
visit Norway for the pleasures Of its
scenery are aware that here they nre at
the headquarters of Europe's ice sup
ply. To the mountain lakes of that
country the continent looks for Ice.
The Ice is Of the finest quality, for the
lakes are of crystal clear water, high
up In the mountains, and are surround
ed by very tall pines. The ice supply
Is controlled by syndicates.
After having been cut into great
squares by plows the blocks of ice are
sent down the mountainside on slides.
On the way they acquire amazing ve-
locity and plunge into an inclosed pool
beyond which are the ice ships await
ing their frozen cargo.
1t sometimes happens that through
delay In the starting of the vessels or
the cutting of unusual quantities from
the lakes to supply exceptional de-
mands the supply runs short Then 1t
Is that Ice becomes dear and even In
winter time is luxury that must be
INDUCED In sparingly. But Ice is used
In Europe far less commonly than in
America, and deficient supply does
not occasion the sense of loss that it
would cause In this country.-Youth's s
Companion.

Neither tea nor coffee Is drunk in the
Gilbert Islands, but liquor named kar-
afee, or toddy. 1t is the juice of the
cocoanut tree, from which it is drawn
daily at sunrise and sunset. To OBJ
tain 1t the natives climb up the tall
trees and while extracting 1t keep up n
constant yelling to let those below
know that they are at work. The sap
when fresh Is a harmless and delicious
beverage, but after it has been kept a
day or two fermentation sets in, and it
becomes intoxicating. Karafee does
not, however, fly TO the head, but a
man who drinks it to excess loses the
control of his legs. However, when
this befalls native he has sense
enough TO remain indoors and shows
his face to no one, for If his chief
should ever hear of 1t he would be tried
and sentenced TO hard labor and a
heavy fine.

Gently, n man who knew him well told
this story of him:
Once wine agent intruded upon a
party Of which Barrymore was one.
The agent told Barrymore he was a

wound up by saying:

future will you not crafty me by ask

One of the advantages Of farming is
that the farmer never becomes either
very rich or very poor, neither of which
is desirable. Extreme poverty degrades
and great riches have an equally bad
effect in creating extravagant habits
and general salfishness.
Farming is all right as an occupa-
tion, but could be made much more
pleasant than it Is If farmers would
take more pride in 1t and themselves.
The farmer has as much right as any
one to wear a good suit of clothes and
adorn and beautify his home. In fact,

connections and Gen. Dicks. agricul-
tural pretensions and his corn-field
have been the subject of many face.
tious remarks by the many who drive
along the Merriman road.
OF course it may be that Gen. Dick
Is only experimenting in the culture of
"ambrosia artemisiaefolia," which
some people vulgarly call ''rag-weed."
OF course it may be that, when he had
sent to every Republican newspaper
of the district and to all his friends,
the eight or ten tons of seeds he Sc
cured for free distribution, he had
some left and purposely planted 80 per
cent of barn yard grass and 40 per
cent Of corn. If he did, he knows be.
yond a doubt by this time that the
grass grows much more luxuriantly,
than the earn, unless the latter has
some attention with hoe and cult
vator.
Then again it is possible that Gen.
Dick had grudge against some man
whom he hoped would wander into the
cOrn-field some dark night and get
his clothes covered iwth Spanish
needles-sharp, double-pointed daggers
which, no doubt, Gen. Dick himself
would call yucca aloifolia."
There are other varieties Of plants
farmers ignorantly call them weeds
which Gen. Dick has cultivated or al
lowed to grow this year. Collectively,
indeed, these plants so outnumber and
hide the corn that the man who was
hired to cut the latter is currently re.
ported to have carried powerful mag
nifying glass to aid him in that opera.

A PICTURESQUE
FIELD OF CORN,
It Is Gen. Dicks Property and Maybe He Is
Proud of It.
Proud of It.

"I should say that there's 60 per
cent of barn-yard grass and 40 per
cent of corn" said the passerby.
81 guess it at 80 per cent barn-ya"d
grass, FIVE per cent Spanish needles
five per cent rag weed, five per cent Of
other weeds and 80 per cent corn" SAID
the other.
Whichever estimate was correct,
certain it is that neither was far wrong
and the remarks were applied to a
corn-field on the Merriman road, just
beyond Marshall ave. Without ques-
tion it is not less than the second worst
corn-field in Summit county, and the
next most interesting fact connected
with it is that it is the property of
Gen. Chas. Dick, Congressman Of the
10th Ohio District, ETC., etc.
The student of agriculture would
learn more in one paragraph of some
of Gen. Dicks speeches pertaining to
the Republican party and the farmers
than he would learn In days march
around that orn-feld-unless, perhaps,
he took the negative view of the situa-
ton and studied the demonstration
there afforded of how not to hoe and
cultivate corn.
Gen. Dicks speeches In the rural
districts, especially, TEEN with refer
ences to agriculture and he has at his
tongues end and In the manuscript In
his pocket as well, many technical
names for the noxious plants which
the Republican party, he says, is anx-
ious to stamp out He appears in the
Congressional Record as quite an agri-
culturist and student of botany. But
theory and practice sometimes miss
