''The Campbell Brothers came to
us strangers but from now on we
are friends. They are from the wild
and woody west, but they can give
some of their eastern competitors
pointers on how to conduct big
show. Harrisburg circus patrons
were surprised and bewildered. Ev-
erything was first class, it was the
best ever seen here, in fact it was
Immense. The tents were packed
in the afternoon and even the
threatening weather did not keep
the city folks from filing all the
seats last night. The Campbell
Brothers will always be welcome
here. They are gentlemen in the
truest sense of the word.

Taking life too seriously is said to be
an especially American failing. This
may be true; but, judging from appear
ances, it would seem to be worldwide,
for, go where you may, you will find
the proportion Of serious, not to say
anxious, faces ten to one as compared
with the merry or happy ones. If

shadow Of the inner" and If 1.-THE pres

doubt tn, how many sad histories
can be read In the faces Of those we
meet every day! The pity of it is, too,
that the sadness Is a self-woven gar.
ment. even as is the Joy with which
1t might be replaced. Ruskin says:
"Grls should be sunbeams not only to
members of their own circle, but to
everybody with whom they come in
contact. Every room they enter should
be brighter for their presence" Why
shouldn't all Of be sunbeams, boys as
well as girls, all along the way from
twenty-five years and under to eighty
five years and over?

Cotton-seed Meal for Cows.

Dairymen find 1t difficult to carry
the COWS along properly during the
droughty days Of summer on pasture
alone, and all proper grains have been
tried wiz varying results. One Of
the best summer grains is cotton-seed
meal, for while feeding it will not ma
terially increase the milk TOW it will
keep it nearly to the standard and will
keep up its quality, which is quite as
important. The feeding of it also
makes better butter at all times, and
particularly during the summer. While
the quantity fed varies according to
circumstances, from two to four
pounds per COW daily is about a fair
ration and will give results which will
warrant the expense at any season.

alfalfa makes an excellent crop to

by those who have experimental ex-

familiar with alfalfa know that IL

and moisture, as well, all essential to

Noon of the long expected day at
length arrived, and her grace, the
Duchess of Westmoreland, who conde-
scended to feel considerable interest in
the young governess of her granddaugh-
ter, together with Lady Claire, were seat
ed in the drawing room, striving to calm
the unusual agitation Of anxious and ex-
cited Ethel, who restlessly paced up and
down the elegant apartment, or fitted
from window to window, in order to
watch the drive, to catch the first glimpse
of her coming sire
At length her weary watch was re-
warded by seeing a hanson dash up to
the entrance, and an elegant looking gen.
tleman descend. One moment passed,
then the door opened, and the stranger
entered.
Tall, and exquisitely proportional, with
an air at once distingue and easy; hand
some features and large, dark eyes; hair

ment near the threshold to survey the lit
tie group of ladies. Then, as Ethel ad-
vanced a few steps to meet him, he ex-
claimed:

see you" at the same time folding her
to his bosom in a joyful embrace.

The Origin of Typography.

About century ago an artist named
Cranch was standing one day in front
Of fire in his home at Administer,
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch
that this expanse of wood might be
improved by a little ornamentation.
He picked up the poker, heated it
red-hot and began to sketch in bold
design. The result pleased him so
much that he elaborated his work and
began to attempt other fire pictures on
panels Of wood. These met with a
ready sale, and Cranch soon gave all
his time to his new art. This was the
beginning of what is now known as n.y.
Biography. The poker artist Of to-day
uses many different shaped tools and
has a special furnace in which they
are kept heated. The art has been
elaborated greatly. The knots, curIs
and tibers Of the wood are often
worked into the design and delicate
tinting produced by scorching the
panel.

va1ue Of Root crops.


There has been much controversy Of
late Years concerning the relative
values of root crops and silage. This
seems to be one of the questions that
ought not to be discussed, inasmuch
az the two crops, in the writer's opin-
ion at least, are essential and one Will
not take the place Of the other except
in the sense that either provides succu-
lent food for stock.
When we commence to compare the
cost Of raising either crop we get Into
interesting figures. Those who have
tried it know that it is hard to sow
the seeds Of root crops by hand, and
they also know that until the plants
are large enough to hold their own 1t
is hard work keeping the weeds down
AS to the feeding values Of the two,
unquestionably the Bilage is the most
valuable, and If called upon to decide
between the two ] would select Silage
every time.
If one has a good silo the root crops
will have their greatest value In fur
nishing a variety In the menu, but
II is where the silo is unknown that
the root crops ought to be extensively
grown as furnishing a succulent food
and a digestive at comparatively small
cost, as we'll as a crop which may DO
stored for winter use at small expense.

GEESE CATCH FISH FOR HIM.
Canny Way In Which q Scotch man
Gets HE Dinner.

Canny Way In Which q scotchman
Gets HE Dinner.
'An old Scotchman and neighbor Of
mine," says an enthusiastic angler
from Rockland county, "has a method
of taking fresh water fish which, to
my way Of thinking, excels all others
for the ease ,repose and success with
which it is conducted. The fisherman
living on the border of Rockland Lake
desires, we will say, 8 mess of pike,
perch or pickerel, with which the
waters are amply stocked. Well, he
simply goes out to his barn-yard and
selects a big goose or a half dozen
geese as the case may be, and ties
baited line about five feet long to
their feet.
,"On reaching the edge Of the lake
with basket containing one or more
geese the fisherman turns the birds
in the water. The geese swim out and
the old Scotchman lights his pipe and
sits down. In a few minutes a fish
sees the bait and seizes it, giving
the goose a good pull. The bird starts
for the shore at full speed, frightened
half to death, dragging the fish upon
the bank where it is unlocked"

Early Flowing for Wheat,

While all wheat growers recognize
the necessity for late sowing Of wheat
to avoid, as far as possible, the raw
ages Of the hessian fly, all do not see
the necessity for early preparation of
the soil. 1t Is generally believed that
much Of the loss from winter freez-
ing might be avoided by the early
blowing of the ground for winter
wheat.
Early preparation of the seed bed
Is easier than late blowing; it gives
one chance to get rid of the weeds
more effectively, the seed bed may
have one or more extra borrowings or
rollings and, altogether, put in much
better condition than when the plow-
ing is done late. Then, too, should
the ground be not in the best condi-
ton at seeding time, the thorough prep
aration previous will count for a
great deal, enabling one to catch the
ground for the final narrowing and
rolling whenever 1t chances to be right
for such working.
The question Of varieties should also
receive more consideration than It does
and an excellent way is to look up the
best wheat fields in your county on
similar soil and ascertain what varie-
ties are grown. In addition to this
every wheat grower, large or small,
should have a test ground for new
sorts 1t will pay for its cost in CIV
Ing one accurate knowledge of sorts
on their own grounds.
