FARMS GAN BE MADE TO PAY.
Life May BE Prolonged and Comfort
secured Though Money IL Lost.


A professor in Cornell University has
whether a farm can be made to nay. He
thinks it can, but with some mental res
ervations on the subject Of what 1t
means to have a farm pay" He says
Of one of his early experiences with his
farm:
Half of country life is in the living.
1t is in the point of view. 1t is in the
way IN which we look at things.
Thoreau rejoiced when 1t rained be-
cause he knew that his beans were
happy. One day my man was agitated
because the woodchucks were eating
the beans. He would go to town at
once and buy a gun. | asked him how
many beans the woodchucks would
probably destroy. He thought from
one-eighth to one-quarter of an acre.
Now, ~one-quarter of an acre of field
beans should bring me a net cash re-
could not buy a gun for that money. If
he had a gun he would waste more time
killing the woodchucks than the beans
would be worth. But the worst Hartu q
1t would be that Ne MnrM killthaE

morning l had watched the animals as
they stole from the bushes, shifted the
soft morning air and nibbled the crisp
young leaves. Many a time I had spent

For several months past the noun
tain liens, bears and wolves that
abound In some parts of Arizona have
been playing sad havoc with the stock
of the ranch of Colin Campbell in Co
chise County. With 10000 calves on
the range, the heavy losses in calves
and yearlings by the ravages of the
wild animals have cut down the divf-
dends of the stock company which
owns the range.
Charley" Montgomery, famous all
over Arizona as a hunter and who was
chief of scouts under Gen. Crook dur
ing the trouble with the Apaches, was
engaged to exterminate the animals
which have beer raiding the herds.
Montgomery engaged 100 men of the
Pima tribe and held a big roundup of
the 'varmints."
Early In the morning his Indians and
a score of the cowboys surrounded a
| district five miles square In the foot
hills of the Chiricahua range and grad
ually closed in toward the center, with
200 dogs In the rodeo. AS they reached
the center OF the circle cduamOuHlS,
black bears, coyotes and an occasional
grizzly bear tried to break through the
line, but were met by a shower Of bull
let's. Dozens of animals persisted in
the attempt to escape, but 200 others
were finally cornered in a box canyon,
while redskins and cowpunchers pick
ed them off from the rocks above.
There were scores of close conflicts
with the enraged and frightened brutes
and in one melee four Indians were
fearfully mangled by a grizzly before
their shots finally finished the bear.
One of the reds, Antonio Hermo, a for
mer chief of the tribe, received fatal
wounds from the claws of a big fellow.
The dogs closed in on the victims and
dozens of them were killed before the
slaughter was complete. The final
count showed nineteen dead mountain
lions, five grizzlies, two lynxes and
over 100 coyotes-doubtless the biggest
roundup of wild animals that has ever
occurred In Acknowledging Sunday
Chronicle.

Servants in Paris
Are Being Banished


Paris, just now, is more or less ex-
cited over a new phase Of social life
which Is known by the name CORN
thianism." 1t SENS entirely too mag
nificent a title for anything of the kind.
1t really looks to such simplicity In life
as will result gradually in the disap-
pearance Of the domestic servant. 1t
is an application Of the theory of self
help to domestic life to a degree as
tonishing to persons unfamiliar with
the eceentricities Of Paris life. Even
the efforts at economical reform are
not seriously regarded there.
The quality of "Corinthianism'' is
shown best by a dinner party at which
the guests are believers in the new
doctrine. The guests cook the meal,
lay the table, and two of the youngest
persons present act as walters. This
is the quality which the French are
supposed to prize SO highly, applied to
social life. In the household, of course,
every person is expected to do his
own work.
The adherents of "Corinthiani,m'
contend that it solves tic, servant
question In addition to conforming to
the highest social rules. 1t restores
people to the original state in which
no classes existed and conforms to 9TH
er high social standards. 1t may do all
these admirable things, but there are
yet many persons who think that It
would be better not to- give a dinner
party at all than to have the guests
cook the dinner.-New York Sun.

revenues of the Riviera.

A writer in a French paper says that
every year there are 100000 foreigners
who pass from a fortnight to a whole
winter on the Riviera. Every person
is supposed to expend on an average
a thousand francs, or 5000, in the coun-
try. In other words, the foreign Wis
itors spend in the country every winter
the sum of $54, 100000. This is enor-
NOUS. The English are put down as
contributing one-third of this amount,
the French themselves contribute an
other third; Germans, Belgians, Dutch,
and Russians do the rest. Nothing Is
said about the Americans. Perhaps
they are Jumped up with the English.
From being quite a poor country when
1t was annexed by France, Nice has
become one of the richest departments.

.oNGEviTY IN 10TH CENTURY.
p Professions Compared = Philosophers
aud Farmers In the Lead.

Professions Com pared - Philosophers
and Farmers In the Lead.
HAS the past century contributed to-
waId the increase or the dlminution of
hum an longevity" That vas the ques-
tio1 discussed the other day by a group
of French scientists. In comparing the
statistics of morality In the nineteenth
century with those brought out by Du-
Willard at the close Of the previous cen
turf It appears that the average long
evity since 1889 increased by five Or six
years. Therefore, the question put by
our medical celebrity would seem to be
ans kered, the answer pointing to an in
crease Of the average length of life.
But, the present effort is to reveal the
mirage, If mirage there is, in the figures
before us; and that is a thorny problem.
Dr.. Vacher and NJ. Bertillon fix the
average longevity in the nineteenth cen
fury at 10 years. All things being
equal. the number of people who reach
ed the age of 10 was greater in the gen.
erattons of the nineteenth century han
1t was In those of the eighteenth
Vacher only arrives at approximations.
He tried TO find out If professions pos
sesskd any influence over the chances
of life, and he was unable to come to
a conclusion, because he found GEN.
tenarians IN all professions, even the
mot unremuneratiye. For all that, he
thinks that he can give the palm to
agriculture, because 1t was in the fam
lilies of farmers that he found the great
est number of persons who had reached
an advanced age. Here statistics are in
accord with the most rational preyis-
ions.
The profession which presents a hap
by Hedlum in the matter of longevity
is that of the scientist. Among the sa-
wants n finds as many men who die
you1g as the number who die very old.
We now that Fontenello lived 100
yeS and that Chevreul was 1O3.
Amdhg those who reached ages quite
respectable, although their years were
few4r in number, are Humboldt, who
diedlat so; Newton, at So; Franklin, at
"a, and Button, at 81.
The list of those who died very young,
likeRichat and Paschal, is just as long;
t includes, unfortunately, the mar
of science, those who fell upon the
of honor in the effort to harvest
81 new truth-Jacquemont and Com
N pn in France, H~asselquist and Abel
in eden, Solokoff in Russia and many
othN{ IS. Such deaths are beyond tae
reach Of the massive rules of statistics.
1t is noteworthy, however, that the cell
ebrated Cassini family is about the only
one In which the dual inheritance of
longevity and scientific genius lasted

The Hermit Woman of oban.

A woman has for some time past ere
ated considerable stir in Scotland by
her not only free but apparently obsti-
nate choice of a PERMITS life In a
cave, some sixteen miles from Oban.
Despite the inclement weather.. the
woman, who is apparently about forty
years old, steadily refuses to leave her
cave, and, since the latter is below
high-water mark, the landowner, the
Marquis Of Breadalbane, can not dis
lodge her, She has now strewn some
dried bracken over the cave, but her
plight during wet weather has been
d%eplorable. The woman's name is
Christina Manchester. She speaks En-
