An Interesting Book.

The reader may make up his mind to
be pleasantly overwhelmed by the opu-
'ulence and vivacity of Around the Pan"
published by the Nutshell Publishing
Co., 1869 Third Avenue, New York.
The wonders begin with the frontis-
piece picture of President Mckinley,
drawn in a single line beginning at a
point on the cheek bone and going round
and round in constantly widening cir
Gle, with waverings and downbearings of
the pen in proper places to secure de-
,tachment and shading. We are told
that this portrait sis considered the most
unique work of the kind in the world
and If there are degrees of uniqueness,
we are willing to believe that this is most
the thing of which there are no dupli-
Gates. Of course there is text in addi-
ton to the pictures, and we should be
surprised indeed to hear from any pur-
chaser Ghe opinion that he had not got
his moneys worth (S2.0O).-N. Y. Sun.

OUR government has decided to estab-
lish ID number of experimental farms in
the Philippine Islands under the direc-
ton of American farmers in order not
only to determine what crops can be
successfully grown there, but also to
teach the natives how this may best be
done. Perhaps the natives can give our
experimental farmers points in raising
tropical fruits and products, but we can
certainly teach them good many things
in the way of employing modern farming
tools and implements. Labor-saving
machinery must supplant the crude and
laborious hand methods which now pre-
vail there before those people can enter
the field of competition with more civil
lied farmers elsewhere on equal terms.
The experiments, therefore, seem an eff
fort in the right direction.

IT IS not generally known that at the
next municipal election the mayor and
other elective officers except alderman of
each city in the state are chosen for two
years. A short law passed in the closing
days of the last Legislature, after several
legislators had done all they could to
Kill it, confers upon the cities of the
state this partial relief from the expense
of an annual municipal campaign. The
law may not materially affect some cities
where the mayor and elective officers are
chosen for two years, but in the majority
of the cities the law increases the terms
of several city officers.

Speaking with a farmer about one of
his neighbors. | said. ''So-and-so is a

without making any reply.
"So-and-so is good man." repeated

deaf.
Then the farmer answered. Il heard
what you said."-NeW York Herald.

Terrible Effect of Eloquence.

An unfortunate man has obtained ac-

IT IS matter of little consequence
whether Grant county newspapers re-
ceive money from the stalwarts to spread
the doctrine of the 18th floor or Topped
to half-breed camp on promise of deputy
oil inspector. The disgrace to the pro-
fession lies in having editors who will
not stay bought.

Treatment of Milk Cattle.

1t should be as much for practical
reasons as for sentimental ones that
the COWS are not oyerheated prior to
milking and that they have their thirst
anticipated by constant access to pure
water says DR.. Newell in Farm and
Ranch. The humane treatment of
milk cattle wisely directed is always
essential to the most profitable results.
No dairyman can practice cruelty to
animals and expect to obtain a decent
price for his milk or butter. This is an
memorable law promulgated by nature.
