The deaf-adder Of st. Augustine who

To-day, six times that number are so
employed, while the 100000 farm
ers of 1850 have increased to 100000"
600. This Is a great increase, but it is
not in proportion with the increase in
other callings. The increase in farm
products In the last half century has
about kept pace with the increase of
farmers-less than three-fold. In 1850
the value of the farm products Of the
country was estimated at 1000 ,000,'
900, as against $4,740,000,O0 last
year. The increase in manufacturing
products has been far greater In pro-
portion-from one billion to thirteen
billion dollars. For all that, it is the
American farmer who is the mainstay
Of the nation. While supporting one
half the people he supplies two-thirds
Of our exports, which, In the last four
years, were valued at $6,7O0,0 1000, 900,
more than $4,250, O00,000 Of which was
contributed by the farms Of the coun-
try. And yet there are hundreds and
thousands Of gaunt, idle men who con-
tinue to hang around the industrial cen-
tiers, adding to the army of the unem-
ployed, adding to the distress Of the
community, and deliberately ignoring
the most healthy, the most prosperous
and the most Independent calling Of all
that Of the American farmer.

HIS TEST OF THE ARTIST.
Wou1d-Be Purchaser Made SuEgee.
tions Concerning a Painting.

"ould-Be Purchaser Made SuEges-
tions Concerning a Painting.
There is perhaps a lesson of some
sort for young artists in the story told
by Frederick Kost, the landscape and
marine painter, of the days when he
was just starting. 1t was at a time
when things We're not prospecting as
he could have wished-when. In fact,
the artist was pretty hard up-that a
man wearing great fur-lined over
coat knocked at the door Of his studio.
The stranger was evidently a West
erner, and man of wealth.
"Mr. Kost," he said, 81 have sean
pictures of yours at different exhihi-
tons, and think l would like to own
one"
Then he nodded approvingly at a
landscape on the easel, and said:
THAT is exceedingly nice. But" he
added after a pause, might I make
a suggestion"
Certainly" said Mr.. Kost. 600

well" said the would-be purchaser
81 think the sky might be changed
with advantage" and he started In tn
explain the alteration which he
thought would improve the painting.
Mr.. Kost did not agree with him,
but as he wished to sell the picture
he said he would consider the matter
And the stranger went away, prom.
Using to call in few days.
Mr.. Kost went to work to change
the sky, against his own Judgment, to
suit the stranger. He ended by chang.
ing the entire picture to suit the sky
In fact, from a landscape, it grew
into a marine. The stranger never
turned up, and the artist cursed his
folly in having acted contrary to com
mon sense to please an ignorant per
son, and so spoiled one of his best
efforts, the result of several months OF
work.
About year later a knock took Mr.
Kost to his door again, and there stood
the stranger " the fur-lined ogercoat

Americans will hardly be able to re-
press smile at the naive comment Of
an English tailor-one Of the men who
came over with Alfred Mosely to study
American labor conditions. 1--WE did
not find as much shoddy as we expect

ments In this country are up to date
and the material Is good, as is also the
workmanship" All the best woolens
used to come from abroad, but that
time is past. In the manufacture of
certain kinds OF cloth, Great Britain
and Germany still lead; but as a whole,
American woolens of to-day are as at
tractiye In design, as honestly made
and as durable as those which are i'm
ported.
