GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS.

Says an exchange: The high
price of cotton will cause 4nany
tough sod to be turned this
spring If cotton would remain
at fourteen cents q pound those
old piney woods ridges would De
more valuable than any other
part of the country. In economi-
cal farming there is a handsome
profit in cotton at ten cents per
pound, and where it goes above
this the farmer is usually making
more clear money than he could
make at any other occupation.
But there is danger of planting
too much, which will result in u
low price almost before the planter
has realized any benefit from the
high prices. The demend is fer
greater than it has ever been here

According to the Kelly Kan. }
Reporter it does not pay to be
facetious. The Reporter relates
that lawyer in a Southern Kan
sas town recently received for col
lection a note against q wealthy
business man. The note was out
lawed, because the business man
had not always been in positio'
where the debt could be collected
from him. The lawyer wrote him
that as he was now able to pay he
ought to do so. The business man
replied that he refused to pay the
note, but if the holder were in
need he would contribute, and en-
closed a bread check. The lawyer
credited the note with the value
of the check, which renews the
note under the laws of Kansas
and he will now proceed to collect
the note with interest. 1t is pre-
sumed that the business man has
learned something.

1t has been truthfully stated
that lit never pays a man to lie
to get business. He may gain a
temporary advantage; may get a
few dollars by false pretense, but
his gains by disreputable methods
will in time be losses. There is
nothing that pays so we'll as ster-
ling honesty, even in this lyinO.
deceitful, sinful era of greed and
grab. A dollar dishonesty gained
is a curse instead of blessing.

SIR WILLIAM .HARCOURT.

from the contemporary neVleW.

cause he had never been a protestant
or a wing. He has himself been. called

were the last Erastians. These sum-
mary judgments are not to be trusted.
The doctrine that the law is above the
king and that the state Is above the
chuy CHI is bound up with the establish
nent and with the house Of Hanover.
No doubt Sir Williams professionalism,
at least on it's secular side, was con-
spiciuous, and no amount OF associa-
ton with radicals ever quite unwhigg-
ed him. An aristocrat playing the part
Of a democrat, he could not forget that
he was a Harcourt, and he practiced
the old-fashioned vice Of family pride.
But If he had an imperfect sympathy
with a generation which cared moth
ing for grandfathers, and was so far
behind his age, at least he despised the
sordid, ignoble crew who enter parlia-
! ment in search Of titles, or to get into
| society,"" or IN the va1ner hope OF be-
coming gentlemen" His own title,
which he failed to escape, was imposed
on him as, a condition of becoming
solicitor general in 1873. If he had been
the son Of a mushroom peer, ne would
have been exempt. But the blood OF

A PLEA FOR MEMS CALVES,

From the London Chronicle:
This does not pretend to be an i'm
partial summing up Of the great suit,
SO to speak, Knee Brooches VS.. Trous-
ers. It is frankly partisan plea for
the plaintiff. I have never given a
previous thought to the question, and
have no idea of the latest antagonisms
that, now flaming out so suddenly,
have divided us into a nation of pro-
Breeders and the opposites, the
Trouserites. But. realizing that a
great cause has to be decided, and
hating to be a person Of mo settled
convictions" I have been impelled, in
the temporary lull of other national
affairs, and whilst Mr.. Chamberlain is
finding that offer, to investigate the
merits of the dispute. And I think
the pro-Breechers should have no diff
ficulty in bringing the Trouserites to
their baggy knees.
First, let us calmly philosopher.
Those hardy pioneers who have club
bed together to dine in public and IN
knee breeches deserve well Of their
age and race on general grounds and
without reference to the particular
dispute. They stand in the breech
as one might say, against tyranny,
thing that is-in word; against
Take trousers only as symbol, rep
resenting established, despotic unreal
soning custom. Is not that enough
They have put Custom-symbolized
as Trousers-on her trial, and have
challenged her to Justify herself. And
custom, arrogant as any Louis, says,
''L'habitude, c'est moi" and can get
no further. Such an attitude In itself
justifies revolt. Why should Custom
hold Trousers in her feudatOry clutch ?
Twas not always so, and arrogant
custom, which now sums herself up
in trousers, has been represented in
many forms in her time. In word,
we make Custom, her subjects set
her aloft and we who enthrone may
dethrone Trousered custom should
therefore walk more humbly, and at
least parley with the enemey at the
gate. .'.."
And now let us descend from the
general to the particular. Once men
wore togas. and Custom, an elective
monarch, re1gned only on toga terms.
Imagine that we were now q toaeed
people, and what derision would have
been adequate to the .trousered up

SUBWAY WILL BE VENTILATED.
From the Electrical Review:
The report that the ventilation OF the
subway Is insufficient and the: air
there is very poor in oxygen nsed
cause no anxiety The method by
which this has been determined is
questionable. and it is probable that
the samples Of air were taken too soon
after the subway Was started; to give
fair tset Of what conditions Will be
when they have settled down to nor
NAL. The fact that large difference
was found in certain of the samples OF
air taken at different points would
seem to show that this is not yet so.
1t will be an easy matter to have
the quality Of air tested carefully, and
should be found that the movement OF
trains does not produce as much VEN
ttlation as was hoped, it will not be
difficult to install fans at proper points
and thus rectify the matter. It should
be remembered that the subway Is an
enclosed space, and hence, like any
occupied building, will contain, under
normal conditions, smaller percent
age of oxygen than will the free air
outside. It should also be remembered
that carbon dioxide is not an active
poison, but is merely a neutral gas.
Air which is poor in oxygen is not
necessarily injurious, as it's fault lies
merely in the lack of a, desirable quail
