ROMANCE OF THE pApAcY.
Old-Tinre Secrets of the Vatican That
Have Come to BE Publicly
Known.

As rule, the secrets of the vatican are
well kept, and most of the stories that
are told apropos Of the new pope must
be taken with grain of salt. Now and
again, however, something of the TO-
nance OF the papacy really leaks out,
though not through the cardinals, says
the London Tattler. There was, for ex-
ample, the strange case of Pope Plus
Tx, pretty well-known generation ago,
but now almost forgotten. In his young
er days, when he was Count Mastai Fer
rati and a layman, he met and fell In love
with Miss Foster, daughter of the Irish
Protestant bishop of Fillmore, who was
living in Italy with her sister, Nine. De
Sails. Miss Foster favored the young
count, but Nine. De Sails drove the lover
away. Afterward she relented, the count
returned and the wedding day was
hxed. On the appointed day the bride
and her friends were at the church, but
no bridegroom appeared, and Count
Mastai Ferrati was never seen again.
Years afterWard Miss Foster went to see
Pope Plus and was astonished to recog-
nize in the pontiff her old fame, the
count.
The most sensational novelist could
not have invented plot more fascinat-
ing than the real story of Pope Leo's
predecessor. Nine. De Sails had made
an unhappy marriage with an Italian,
and her parents, fearing similar fate
for the younger daughter, made her
promise to guard Miss Foster against a
union with foreigner, hence her inter
ference to separate the lovers; it was
only when her sister pinned away that
Nine. De Sails relented. The disappear
ance of the count has quite flavor of
Dumas about it. Unknown to his fiancee
he was bound to the Jesuits, and his SUI
periors in the order peremptorily sent
him away on a mission to prevent his
marriage with an English and Prot
estant. Letters were intercepted and
he was led to believe that she had mar
rled another SO he took orders and rap
idly rose to be bishop, then cardinal and
eventually pope. Then in the height of
his grandeur he was brought for mo-
ment face to face with the woman he had
loved and lost Nothing more dramatic
has ever been staged.

PROGRESS IN SANITATION.
Average Duration of Life Has Been
Increased by Measures Adopted
in England.

People hear so much about health in
stitutes nowadays that they are apt to
be little skeptical as to their efficacy
and to regard them largely as money
making arrangements, says the Boston
Globe.
In England almost all matters con-
corning the public health are treated at
institutes, like the British Sanitary in.
stitute, for instance, and every public
man thinks it his duty to patronize it.
At late meeting of the institutes the
question was raised as to what had been
accomplished by these institutes, and
1t was found that since public health
became a science at the beginning of
the late queens reign the average life
of a man has been increased by three
years and that of woman by five years.
That the doctors do know something is
evidenced by the fact that 30 years age
typhoid fever killed 374 people out OF
every 1 900 900 in Great Britain. To-day,
with an enormously increased popula-
ton, it kills bare 100 per 1000 900
Typhus, which go years ago struck down
another 300 per 100000, has been lit.
orally stamped out by sanitation. Sta
tisticians compute that the London
county council has saved 10000 lives,
mostly infants, since its creation.
In the days of Good Queen Bess" the
death rate was 80 per 1000 per annum
Deaths from fever have fallen by IS pei
cent, typhoid by co. scarlet fever by
81, and consumption by IS per cent
From 1861 to 1865 scarlet fever killed 9S2
persons per 100000; it now barely car.
ries off 100.
The death rate in consumption is also
declining. During 1876 death by con-
sumption claimed 1926 persons yearly
out of every 100000 living. To-day 3
better acquaintance with the laws OF
health has cheated death of half the har-
vest of 1876 from this disease.
So that the various Institutes of med
icine and sanitation do much good ever
If no more than to induce better modes
of living.

THE TENANT FARMER.
The Interests of the Land Owner
and His Tenant Farmers
Should Be Mutual.

The last census informs us that the
percentage of American farms operat-
ed by tenants is thirty-five, or more
than one-third. The increase in TWEEN
ty years amounts to 10 per cent, and
since 1890, of per cent, showing that
the rate of increase is growing high
er as time passes. This shows that we
are drifting toward system OF land
lordism. 1t is not denied that tenant
farming is bad for the farm, and that
farms worked by tenants not only do
not increase in value, but often de-
crease in value compared with farms
worked by owners. The common GUS
tom of landlords is to spend as little
of money or labor as possible to make
the farm attractive to the better class
of tenants What is wanted is the
cash where money rent is stipulated,
or the lions share of the crop when
that is the agreed rental. Therefore
the less the landlord spends in making
| the farm a good one, the greater his
net profit at the end of the lease.
Some landlords provide all needed
conveniences for their tenants, such
as comfortable houses, vegetable gar
dens, fruit trees, poultry houses, lots,
stables and pens for live stock, with
a little ornamentation about the tene-
ment thereon to please the wife and
children. On farms thus managed the
best tenants will be found, and they
remain until ready to move into a
home of their own and cultivate their
own acres. The tenant of the skin
flint landlord has to change his place
and his landlord before he will be able
to buy home. There are many ways
in which the landlord may benefit his
tenant while benefiting himself. He
can counsel with him, unselfshly adj
wise him. He can furnish him reading
matter that will increase his crops, for
farmers as we'll as farms need fertiliz-
ing. He should advise the tenant to
take good agricultural papers, to at
tend and participate in farmers insti-
tutes, and in every way he can en-
courage him to do better farming. For
between landlord and tenant there
should be such community of inter-
est that what is for the benefit of one,
lis also for the benefit of the other.

Attractive Farm Homes,

l wish could more forcibly impress
on the mind of the farmer the value
of attractive surroundings. Every
farm home should be attractive. 1t is
not necessary to have a fine house or
fancy cottage, or expensive lawn fence
to make the farm home pretty. To be
sure, neat fence, few ornaments on
the house and the free use of paint
help nightly, but the chief attractions
can be made of trees and shrubs. A
shady lawn and a shady driveway are
always attractive. Groups of trees,
Shrubs or flowers never fail to charm.
The lawn may not be kept perfectly
smooth, all the trees may not be clean
ly pruned, yet the home place orna-
mented with them does not fail to con-
vey the impression that peace and con-
tentment dwell there AS lady from
the city said: "a pretty farm home
suggests a happy birds nest. We do
not notice the dwelling so much as we
do the surroundings. If the surround
ings ere pretty we know that the in
terror of the house is all right and
that it is the abode of love and con-
tentment and all that makes life worth
living. We look to the city for fine
mansions, but to the country for pref
ty homes. Mr.. Grundy, In Farm and

PRYME'S PHILOSOPHY.

In order to be popular, forget to
say good DEAL
The way to make man forget
favor is to do him one.
Boomerangs and evil thoughts act
in similar fashion.
A big heart usually goes with big
body, but big head rarely does.
Wisdom is always conceded to o
rich man until he loses his riches.
Do not emphasize your own virtues
by snlarging on the failings of others.
The most depressing humidity is
that caused by the tears of woman.
A genius is a man who refuses to
believe in the impossibilities of other
people.
A safe way to Judge man is to as
certain just what friends he doesn't
make.
No marriage ceremony has ever been
gone through without a hitch-of
bride and groom.
Some men who take post graduate
course are, in the long run, glad to
become letter carriers.
The claims to wisdom Of owls and
a multitude of men rest upon their
looks, and nothing more.
The heartache of many a widow
has been tempered by the reflection
that she looks her best in black.
To get rid of bore, ask him to re-
peat his longest and favorite story
twice. Even he cannot stand that.
A fool is generally person who de-
tects your faults while you are in the
act of calling attention to his own.
The grievance of not few women
against their husbands Is that the lat
ter give them no ground for griev-
ances.

The Stage Child.

What becomes of the child actors
Too often a few months or years OF
stage experience convince both mother
and child that there are other callings
equally honorable, and perhaps more
lucrative, than the actors profession.
Marriage takes many young girls from
the stage they have known all their
lives, and the sure returns of business
management is apt to tempt boy actors
to step across the footlights to a posi-
ton nearer the box-office, but the av-
erage stage children, attractive because
of their youngness, grow up into sheep
little resembling the tender lambs
whose gambols amused, and, unable to
secure legitimate dramatic engagements,
drift into the chorus of operate COM
panies, or take up their positions be-
hind department store counters. 1t is
only the very few that carry the pre-
cocity and charm of youth into adult
age, so that they again become as ia
nous as during the few brief years OF
childhood.-Everybody's Magazine.

HERE AND THERE,

Chickens. seem TO have a craving
for animal food when noting" says a
poultry journal. They also seem to
have similar craving at all other
times, except, perhaps, when their
crops can not hold any more.
-Dairying is unqaestionably the
most clearly defined, the clearest cut,
the most investigated, the best under
stood of any branch of agriculture. 1t
is founded on the bed rock of scientific
facts crystalized into a successful art.
NO Angora goats have been i'm
ported into this country from their ma
tive land since 1881, for in that year
the sultan absolutely prohibited their
expectation. Later importations have
been from South Africa, and they were
very few.
The feed supply of the southwest
is now abundant, but one-half of this
great boon will be wasted. The feed
crops now made are capable of produc-
ing just double the number of pounds
of pork, beef, milk, ETC., that our peo-
pie will actually secure.
Good pasture is not only the best
feed for mich cows, but also the
cheapest Perennial pasturage affords
the cheapest possible feed for cattle
OF. any kind, and during the season
when pasturage is at its best no grain
ration is needed.
The best way to save corn for feed
ing cattle is the siIo method. This
keeps it in practically green condi-
ton until it is fed, and cattle are very
fond of it, winter aud summer, and
there is less waste than in any other
way except by shredding.
Mo matter what degree of accuracy
the government crop report for August
reached, nor how favorable weather
conditions may be from now on, q
shortage of corn is unavoidable.
The mich COW converts feed into
human food with less waste than does
the beef steer. This fact is attested
by the markets as we'll as by Science.
For this reason older countries prac-
tice dairying. 1t takes a long time to
show any people.
1T is highly probable that grain OF
all kinds will reach record breaking
prices this year. High authorities in
the grain market confidently predict
dollar wheat at an early date. The
wheat crop is short and the quality
good. This will render cornering COM
paratively easy,

possible. One OF the essentials for
quick returns is poultry. With good
management the hens should lay every
day during the greater portion of the
year. One or two good COWS will also
be found serviceable, as milk, butter
and eggs are cash at all seasons. Small
fruits, such as Strawberries, currants,
gooseDerries, raspberries and black
berries, soon give returns, but grapes
and orchard fruits require more time.
On small farm it will not pay to
depend upon the cereal crops. Stock.
fruit and vegetables give better profits,
and bring In cash long before the harv-
est comes for corn. There is nothing,
however, that will give larger and
quicker profits than fowls, and as they
multiply rapidly the number can be
largely increased every year. The
fowls will also consume much waste
material. Farm and Fireside.

A Rox,a Victory.

Crossroads, Tenn, Sept. l4-Orbra Young.
the ten-year-old son of Lester Young, Of this
place, is a bright boy, and one who is very
well liked by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered great
deal with form of Kidney Trouble which
was very annoying, and which made him mis-
cradle all the time. He had to get up three
or four times every night, almost all his
life.
His father heard of remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and bought some for the lit
tie fellow with the result that he is now COM
pletely cured of the old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me great
relief, and now l can sleep all night without
having to get up. We will always praise
Dodd's Kidney Pills"
There are many children suffering from
Kidney and Urinary troubles. These dis
orders should be promptly corrected. Dodd's
Kidney Pills is a safe and sure remedy for
all such arrangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his trou-
bles and made well boy of himself by using
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and any one may do
the same by the same means.
Parents should see to it that their children
are given fair chance in life, and there is
nothing that can undermine the health OF
growing child as much as Kidney and Uri-
nary arrangements.

Next Year,R LAYERS.

Select now the pullets for winter
layers. If there are a great many
pullets that were Matched out, go into
the poultry house and sleect the larg-
est Matched. Do not be tempted to
keep many because they are beautiful,
If they are small, as such pullets will
not be of sufficient age to begin laying
before cold weather sets in. AS fowls,
old and young, are subject to the con-
ditions of heat and cold, much labor
and expense can be saved by retaining
only those that come into full plum
age and reach the adult stage before
winter. If a pullet begins to lay be-
fore winter, she will then probably lay
right on through the winter; but should
she not begin in the fall, she will
probably defer such work until early
in the spring. Use heroic and prompt
measures, by culling out the flock and
getting rid of every pullet that has not
reached stage of growth that may en-
able it to give a profit. There is no
sentiment in the keeping of fowls. The
keeping of poultry should be business
matter-Farm and Fireside.
