Remarkable Tenacity of Life.

The Jew betrays an absolutely I'M
precedented tenacity of life. 1t far ex-
ceeds that of any other known people.
This we may illustrate by the follow
ing example: Suppose two groups of
100 infants each, one Jewish, one of
average American parentage, to be
born on, the same day. In spite of
the disparity of social conditions in IA
vor of the latter. the chances, deter
mined by statistics. are that one-half
of the American children will die with
in Al years. while the first half of the
Jews viii not succumb to disease or
accident before the expiration of II
years. The death rate is really but
little over half that of the American
This holds good in infancy
as in middle age. Or, of 1000 Jews
born. 217 die before the age of years,
while 453 Christians-more than twice
as many-are likely to die within the
same period.

Growing sorghum for Stock

The failure of the corn crop last year
will induce farmers to plant more or
less of other things the coming season.
Alfalfa, millet, sorghum and speltz
will all be tried, and in some localities
one or more will be found a most de-
sirable addition to crops for stock. The
culture of sorghum is extending. and
tests have proved that its culture is
not confined to favored sections, but
that it can probably be grown with
success wherever corn can be grown.
The plant Is drought-resisting, it yields
heavily and the stalks, If properly
cured, are eaten and relished by all
farm stock. The main trouble expert
enced with sorghum is in the curing
the crop seems TO be as easily raised
as corn, but it is best cured under
cover by setting it in small shocks
along the wall of a she'd 1t may be
cured in the field, like corn, if put up
in small shocks. Every farmer with
cows or swine should give up an acre
of ground this spring for sorghum. You
may not be able to grow it with full
success this year, but will learn its
needs thoroughly, so that the next sea-
son it will be success.

Yalue OF a Cabinet Posi-.

A cabinet officer, who not very long
ago retired to private life, started to
build up anew his law practice. A cor
poration case was sent to him by a
brother lawyer. Meeting that lawyer
later the ex-cabinet minister asked
what he ought to charge.
What did you think of charging
asked his friend
We'll" the reply was. II thought
81 900 would be about right"
MY dear fellow" the other lawyer
responded, IF you do that you will
never get another case. Ex-cabinet
ministers are a luxury, if they are
worth anything. Send a bill for $4,000
retaining fee and you will get check
tomorrow. Then adjust your regular
charges at your leisure"
The thing was done, with the result
predicted. 1t is said that the gentle
man in question made in month as
much as the sum of his salary during
his entire official term.-New York

Claimed TO BE the Best in the World
for Pulmonary Troubles.
Just now. while a good deal is being
said in the newspapers about the so
called ..open-air treatment" for con-
sumptives. it win be interesting to re-
late the actual experience of one suf-
fering from lung trouble who has been
fully restored TO health. The person
referred to was good many years ago
assistant rector of an Episcopal church
in Baltimore. and his clerical duties in
volved an early communion service q
o'clock a. M, which he usually per-
formed before breakfasting. His lung
trouble developed while he was theO-
logical student, and the discharge of
his daily clerical duties at so early an
hour, without taking any stimulating
food, increased his weakness. Finally
he was attacked with severe hemor-
rhages of the lungs while at the altar,
and was hurried TO his home. where for
some time he remained, a close invalid.
The best medical advice he could get,
apparently, was to go TO Florida (the
graveyard foc consumptives. as a wri-
ter once remarked), and the preacher
soon removed to Tallahassee as a rec
tor of church there. 1t did not take
him long TO discover that the ''open-
air. treatment in Florida was not the
treatment for him: the hemorrhages
returned. and he grew emaciated. His
next move was at Santa Fe, n. NJ.
where he took charge of church. The
clear, dry atmosphere with a remark
ably moderate mean temperature) at
once proved beneficial. The hewor-
rhages and cough were arrested, and
the improvement continued steadily
until almost perfect health and
strength were restored 1t was while
at Santa Fe that the preacher was told
of the wonderful effects produced By
the dry, rariied air of Arizona, and
subsequently he took charge of a
church at Prescott, in that territory.
The Improvement of his lung trouble
was even more rapid and marked at
Prescott, and he has declared that the
"open air" of Arizona is the best place
for consumptiyes in the United States.
So complete has been bis restoration to
health that he has been able to accept
residence in Southern California (moy-
ing there to improve his wife's healthy,
where he conducted a church and
school for several years. He is now
travelling abroad with his family, and

Forty years ago this subject would
have meant something quite different
from what it does at present, says In
diana Farmer. Then a plain frame
building, with plastered walls and
brick chimney would have seemed a
great advance on the double log cabin,
with its stick and mud chimney at
either end, the well sweep in the yard,
chickens roosting In the trees or in
the front yard was not deemed out Of
place in early days, and shade trees,
shrubbery and flower beds were ex-
ceptional, if not unknown.
The ideal farm home as we now re-
gard it. must have many ornamental
features and numerous conveniences
that in pioneer days were unthought
of. AS to externals our first thought
is regarding walks and drives. They
should be dry and clean. Mud should
not be tracked into the house. and to
prevent this gravel should be used
freely, not only to make walks to
barnyards and Outhouses, but to build
drives from the road in front to the
wagon shed in the rear. 4 shed or
covered way ought to extend from a
side porch of the house to the drive so
the ladies can enter or depart from the
carriage dry shod. 1t must have a
telephone connecting with all the
neighborhood and the towns and viii
lagos near. 1t can have daily mail,
which it easily can have If the roads
are what they ought to be. 1t must
have shade trees, vines, shrubbery and
flowers in the bluegrass lawn, and a
small fruit as well as vegetable gar
den, we'll stocked with the best varie-
ties and well tended, and it should be
convenient to the kitchen, SO as to be
