Retfer Than Cniior

Instead Of planting cotton only for
sale crop year after year it would
be better sometimes to plant a large
crop OF Irish potatoes, or sweet pota-
toes for there may be a great deal
more profit in these than in cotton.
The writer knows n small farmer with
forty acres under fence. who left cot
ton r his list one year and planted
eight acres of sweet potatoes. aud his
neighbors wondered at mis- folly. Dur
ing The month of November he sold
100 bushels of potatoes to a wholesale
dealer at seyenty-fye cents per bushel,
cash-about eight times as much as he
would have received from The same
ground planted in cotton. The next
year he planted six acres in Irish pota-
toes, and sold the crop for more than
he received for the sweets, This farmer
kept posted on demand and supply,
and when he thought that any Of the
common farm products would bring a
good price in its season he tried it for
money crop. His conclusions were
generally correct, or he was a most
successful gucsser. At any rate he
was a very successful farmeg.-Farm

WIEN WORDS OF WISDOM TELL

Mother, dear" said a frank young
woman to her parent, who had just
been giving her lecture, 'if you would
only stop when you have scored your
point and said what l feel is a truth
sou would make so much more impress
sion, but you always so on and or, and
say so much that itputs Us both out Of
temper and you lose all the advantage
you have gained"
Moral teachers always make 4 mis-
take when they do not stop at the right
moment. Many a truth would be car
ried home to a culprit and do good
work If it were not diluted with dis
cursivencss to such an extent that its
effect becomes obliterated But the
fact is that the generality OF people
talk too much about everything, them
selves, their affairs and their neigh
bors. Talking never does any coed,
and it is apt to do a great deal Of harm.

Lead Pencil Experiments.

IAN English statistician was asked
how many words could be written with
an English lead pencil, and, being de-
termined to answer it. he bought lead
pencil and SCOTS "Ivanhoe" and pro-
,ceeded to copy the latter word by word.
He wrote 95,60S words and then was
obliged to stop, for the pencil had be-
come so short that he could not use it.
A German statistician who heard Of
this experiment was dissatisfied with
it because all the lead in the pencil was
not used on the work, and therefore he
bought a pencil and started to copy q
long German novel. When the pencil
was so short that he could not handle
it with his fingers, he attached holder
to it, and it is said that he wrote with
this one pencil 100000 words. Posi-
bly,, however, his pencil was longer or
the lead in it was of a more durable
quality.

makes this pertinent reply: at is a
stocky built man with Il ratty mustache,
a font of double plea teeth, and jaw
set with Yale time-lock; man rather
below medium height, inclined to be
pussy, with voice that needs a ma
chinist, and vocabulary that needs q

to be accurate. He is the first presi-
dent of the United States in recent
years who has refused all courtesies
from the railroads and pays his way,
and by the same token he is the first
president in recent years, whom the
railroads are going 20 fight"

The Vulgar Voice.

What constitutes the vulgar voice!
In an article in the London Spectator
a writer concludes that this evidence or
vulgarity, springs. like almost all vul-
garity. however displayed, chiefly from
two causes-an undue love of conspicu-
BUSINESS and an undue fear of the
same" The person whose chief aim
is to keep himself or herself in the eye
of the world rarely makes a remark
without desiring that it shall reach the
ears of others besides the one directly
addressed, and here the peculiarly false
sound Of the voice is attributed to the
absence of singleness of motive On
the other hand, the wavering tone and
affected accent of the timid vulgar are
asC ribed to anothep form of insincerity
namely, the wish to initiate others
with whom one happens to be when
they are of a supposedly higher social
standing. The attempt is sure to fail
and the result only in the suppression
of all evidence of the speakers own

the manner Thus sincerity, paramount

TEMPTED, HE ATE.
story of Heinrich Hefne and u
Toothsome Lyons Sausage.

Toothsome Lyons Sausage.
Returning from a journey to the
south of France Heinrich Heine met
friend, a German violinist, in Lyons,
who gave him large sausage that had
been made in Lyons, with the request
to deliver 1t to a mutual acquaintance,
a homeopathic physician, in Paris
Heine promised to attend to the com
mission and intrusted the delicacy to
the care of his wife, who was travel
ing with him. But as the post chaise
was very slow and he soon became
very hungry, on the advice of his wife
both tasted of the sausage, which
dyindled with every mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not dare
to send the remainder to the physician,
and yet he wished to keep his promise.
So he cut off the thinnest possible
slice with his razor. wrapped it in q
sheet Of vellum paper and inclosed it
in an envelope, with the following
note:
Dear Doctor-From your scientific in
vestigations we learn that the millionth
part Of a certain substance brings about
the greatest results. l beg, therefore.
your kind acceptance of the accompany
ing milionth part of a Lyons sausage,
which our friend gave ME to deliver to
you. If homeopathy is a truth, then this
little piece will have the same effect on
you as the whole sausage our
