THE FARM HANDS IDEA.

City folks are goin' to the mountains and
the seas,
FOR they think that they've been workin'
ara had ought to have some ease;
They're Shuttin' their fine houses, and
they're huntin' other scenes;
Some folks don't know when they're lucky
or what bein' tired means.
They've merely been a-settin' down at
desks day after day,
While some other folks was busy hoein
corn or pitchin' hay; @
They've been leanin' over counters in the
shade up there in town
Instead of hoein' taters where the suns
a-boilin' down.
Laws! If lived in the city 'mongst the
things to see up there
Mak1H NONE by the bushel and with
costly clos to wear, IDA
You can bet nobody'd catch me packin
up to go away;
Some folks don't know when they're
lucky, and that's all got to say.

BIG LIGHTNING BUGS.
Washington Will Try the South
American COcOyOs as Pets.

Washington Will Try the South
American Cocoyos as Pets.
Cocoyos, the large lightning bugs
of Brazil, Cuba and tropical South
America that emit continuous double
light of efficient strength and intensity
for one to read the time on a watch
eighteen inches distant and which the
BotoCcudo Indians of Brazil use for
illuminating purposes by combining a
number Of them in small wicker cages,
are soon to be novelty in the pet line
IN Washington: Some fifty-eight Of
these bugs are now on their way from
Cuba to this city and on their arrival
will be the first ever seen in the cap
ital.
This is one of the results of de-
mand for something new that is con
slant on the part Of the public and
competition among bird and pet animal
dealers. The cocoyos are very large,
though perfectly harmless, and in
many of the South American cities and
In Havana the young girls and married
ladies wear them in their hair at night,
the effect Of which is singularly strik-
ing and beautiful especially when the
lady wearing them happens to be
blessed with more than the usual share
Of feminine pulchritude.
The cocoyos thus worn illuminate the
wearers countenance and hair in
perfect halo Of light. Whether they
will be used in this way by local bellies
remains to be seen. The cOcoyos are
very hardy and will live for months
with little or no attention. Local pet
dealers are Of the opinion that if kept
indoors and in warm places during the
winter in the same manner that par
rots and canaries are kept the cocoyos
can be domesticated and made to in
crease and multiply in this country.
This has proved successful in the case
Of the little green chameleon lizards of
Florida that lay eggs and hatch out
breeds as long as they are properly at
tended to.-Washington Post.

The question of receiving the high
est profit possible in sheep raising Is
nv. always answered alike by practi-
cal experience, for while some can and
do make wool growing pay, there are
others who barely make this pay for
the cost of the feed. OF course If we
can raise sheep SO that the wool will
pay for all the cost Of raising the ami
mails to marketable state there is
actual profit Of high order in selling
the mutton, says S. T. Mainwaring,
one of Ohio's leading breeders. In fact,
good many sheep breeders aim to do
this, but, the present tendencies in meat
consumption hardly make this posi-
ble The market demand is for young
sheep or lambs and not for old mutton.
The latter does not bring a good price
in the market, and the demand is so
limited at times that the markets are
glutted with old mutton.
A good many lambs are held too long
before being sold to make the profits
as large as they should be- 1t should
be remembered that the lambs should
be sold when weighing between sixty
and seventy pounds, for after that
period they will degenerate in value
so far as marketmen are concerned.
Nearly all the food fed after that pc
Rod will prove waste. 1t will be i'm
possible to get it back in mutton, for
the price of the old lambs will de-
crease faster than they will gain in
weight. By selling the lambs at once
and putting some of the ready money
Immediately into producing Ewes the
flock will be increased in short time.
It Is by this system Of constant breed
ing and quick turning over the money
that the sheepman NEST expect his
large proti,s. The wool after all is
only of secondary Importance, except
on the great western ranges, where the
cost of food is purely nominal, and
thousand sheep can be kept with only
little more difficulty than is required
for a hundred on cultivated farms.

to have the lambs come about the mid

be increased to a quart.
When the lambs arrive, look after
them carefully and prevent as far as
possible suffering from cold. Continue
feeding the ewes with oats until they
are turned out to pasture. In this way
I find that every bushel of oats will be

Outcrossins In England.
1t is to be considered that too close
breeding even by the very best Of blood
is sure to lead to deterioration Of the
flock. An outcross is the main reliance
Of the English breeders, to whom we
have to look for reinforcement Of our
flock, says American Sheep Breeder.
This is a departure from the line
breeding and the use of some quite I'M
related blood. Some successful breed
ers even choose the best possible ram
to be procured with a similar descent,
but through another flock from the
original blood Of the strain: Changing
rams is common practice so as to get
in an outcross, and it tends to strength
en- the flock without departing in the
least from the purity of the strain.
Hiring rams Is thus common custom
and at the same time an additional
recompense to the breeder, who gets
considerable proportion of the value Of
the ram for one seasons service
The Loss by Holding.
An Ohio man has held his clip of
wool for seven years and finally sold
considerable of it far below what he
was offered for it. Such instances are
numerous enough to illustrate the folly
of holding products from year to year
In hope of securing higher prices for
them, remarks National Stockman.
Better take fair price when offered
than to hang on for something beyond
the market or it's immediate proba bili-
ties. The man who held his wool seven
years lost at least Is per cent Of the
selling price on his longest held wool
in interest alone. There is big diff
ference between idle wool and busy
money that should not be overlooked
when the holding proposition Is under
advisement.

should be done in water containing q

them quickly out of doors in good

English literature. In the crowded
room he saw but one face, that of
Miss Ellis, the fairest woman he had
ever seen. The purity of her counten-

to this scholarly recluse with an irri-
sistible drawing and for the first time
in his life he knew what love meant.
At first his advances were repuised.
Aline Ellis had made her boast that
she loved no man. She said she would
not yield to this teacher. for he was
nearly double her age, a recluse md
welded to his books and his profession.
But with all her reserve this young
woman was a hero worshiper and she
revered and respected DR.. CsMalley.

she realized that she was making q
great match. Here she was, wedding

tonight presenting Joseph Arthur's de-

entitled "Blue Jeans" This drama has
not beer, here since the early spring of
1893, and its revival will therefore have
almost the force of distinct novelty.
Blue Jeans" is admittedly the strongest
play Mr.. Arthur ever wrote. 1t ran for
900 nights at the Fourteenth Street thea
ter. New York, when originally produced
there, breaking all previous records in
the matter of attendance, and afterwards
was most successful upon tour.
The Arthur play has retained it's hold
upon public fancy, first by the strength
of its story. and, second by its natural
ness. Quaint and unfamiliar as its char
acter types may be, they are drawn true
to life, and in such a way that man
even though he may never have seen the
originals, recognizes the fact. Even the
play has several, are introduced natu-

than any other one feature won for
