The fastness of color depends on the
stability OF the coloring matter as well
as on that of the combination between
che material and the color. Nearly all
organic colors are bleached by the con
tinued action Of light and air. Light

Maid Wallets for Men

an elderly married woman for a laun-
dress. The sister had to go to Europe
for several months and the brother
elected to run the apartment himself.
He asked the laundress to come in
every morning, prepare his breakfast,
look after the clothes and clean up the
place. When she said it would be i'm
possible he asked her to send one Of
her daughters. The laundress agreed
10 this.
Now it happened she had two
daughters, one decidedly pretty, the
other decidedly homely. He found
himself wondering the first morning
after his sister left which one of the
girls would be sent. When he went in
to breakfast the problem was solved.

Farmer of the Future

On the other hand, we have heard
of some who persist in making good
crops during the worst seasons, and
who have full barns and overlooking
smokehouses at time when their less
fortunate neighbors are purchasing
their supplies in the stores. We be-
lieve that even an editor could man
age farm well enough to make pref
ty good crops when the seasons are
all propitious, when the rains come
in the nick of time, and are succeeded
by just the right amount of open
weather. We mention this possibility
in order to suggest that it is not nee
essary to be a good farmer to make
fair crops in seasons that are pre-
cisely suited to growing things.
Perhaps 1t is too much to expect,
and yet we believe that the time will
come when a farmer will possess all
the accomplishments that are neces.
sary in his work, and that he will be
a first-class businessN besides. We
are coming upon new and ne Z.
methods, and the pressure of these
will produce new men, who will farm
exclusively for the immense profits
that are to be coaxed out of the SOIL

Practical farmers are sometimes in
clined to resent the advice that they
frequently see in the newspapers with
respect to their methods of doing
business; and at first blush and super
ficially II does seem a little peculiar
that the editorial brethren should con-
tinue to pour forth advice that Is
rarely taken, and insist on writing ag.
ricultural essays that are often ridi-
culed in a quiet way by those to
whom they are addressed.
1t is a common saying that an edi-
tor can make ten crops with his pen
where he couldn't make one with his
hand. and it is regarded as pre-.
sumptuous for man who can't lay
off piece of land for a crop. nor even
run a straight furrow with pillow,
to be telling the farmers what they
should do and how they should econo-
mize. But the truth of the matter is
that there are very few farmers who
appreciate the real Importance, and
dignity of their calling. or who try
to do much more than make a living
out of the ground. Indeed we have
heard of some who failed to make a
good living, and who were always
in debt as the result of What they
called hSd times and bad crops.

The agitation in England to abol-

tence in cases where 1t is patent that
capital punishment will not follow
will probably meet with the approval
of most people who desire that the
law should lose nothing of its dignity,
and at the same time have nothing
of unnecessary horror added. The
lord chancellor pleads for the reten-
ton of the form, saying that the pass
