After nearly eight months of idleness,
John Philip Sousa. most popular of band
masters. is going to get his band together
again and go on a tour of the world. He an
nounced last week that he is tired of liv-
ing in retirement and is eager to be up
and doing" Since Mr.. Sousa was injured
in accident in Washington he has not
been before the public. and it was thought
at one time that he might never again be
seen on the concert platform. He is in
good health and spirits now, however, and
declares that he will take his band on the
longest trip il has ever experienced. He
will start out in short time. playing in
all of the important American cities be-
tween New York and San Francisco, and
will sail from the Pacific metropolis for
Australia, where he will tour for three
months. From Australia he will so to In-
dia and from India TO South Africa, re-
turning by way of the capitals of Europe,
and finishing about year from next sum-

Complete Sets.

April st. Nicholas.
If you will notice the bookcases in your
friends libraries you will be likely TO see
many books in uniform bindings-sets of
authors works. 1t seems to be a fashion
among most book-buyers to buy all OF the
works of a single writer. This may be wise
for those who have lived long enough to
be sure what they like. But young reader
would be wiser to buy only the single vol
wise he may find his library clogged with
volumes he never reads. So long as books
were a great rarity. such advice was not
needed, and those who wrote giving coun-
sci to young readers saw little reason to
warn them against allowing books TO &C
cumulate too rapidly. Now, however, the
caution is needed.

home in Boston after a visit to New
York. During the visit she called upon her
publishers, the Harpers, and was taken
on tour of inspection through their pub

cOmpositor, Gallagher, who always sets
her manuscript, and as her copy is hand
written and not too legible, Mrs Deland
said to him, sympathetically:

for several years. and then completed her
musical education in Paris under some OF
the best French masters. She sings In
Italian and French as well as IN English
and is thinking seriously OF accepting an

Her Carmen is a strikingly good perform

at the present time as TO her immediate
future but IL is likely that she will remain
with the Savage forces for another season,

AS TO Miss Brooks, she is enthusiastic
over her work. She was studying i'm Paris
when she met Manager Savage last sum-

upon her as one of his most promising
pupils She wished TO study longer but Mr..
Savage needed another good soprano be-

sing this season in America, with the pro-
vision that she might return to Juliani's
studio next June. She will study In Paris
during the summer and will be with the
Savage company again next season.

FARM NOTES.

z Last year the country raised 1885,
900 bushels of cranberries. but this
year the crop is Is to 20 per cent
smaller.
An Illinois farmer has husked 12a
bushels and ~ pounds, by actual
weight, of corn from one acre Other
acres are yielding 100 bushels or bet
,ter.-Farm and Fireside.
Have you gone over the barn lots
and about the old straw stacks for q
last load or two of manure? II not,
we are sure that It will pay you to
do so, as there are several places on
the farm that need it.-Farmers' Voice.
II stable manure is spread with a
manure spreader on the meadow, it
will show very good results for a very
thin coat, and what the hay crop does
not use will be in the soil for the sue
ceeding corn crop-Farmers' Voice.
VI A good rotation for mixed farming
is wheat. clover, meadow one year,
COW. pasture for one year, corn. oats.
This makes six-year rotation.
Where there are permanent pastures
on the farm, one year can be cut out
BY not pasturing the clover tie sec-
ga yer.-Fsrmets Voice.

SKUNK FARMS 4
A New-Industry Which Is Now.neine
Developed in the United
States.

=. The United States holds many novel
farms. One industry that perhaps the
average farmer would hesitate to en-.
gage in is the growing of skunks. Yet
we have some skunk farms that are said
to be success. For certain good rea-
sons the industry is one that is not like
ly to be overdone in the near future.
1t is of interest to note, however, what
Missouri enthusiast recently had to
say regarding the enterprise.
That skunk farm is no joke" he Ia
quoted as saying. Several Of us have
put up 500 apiece and bought . ten
acre piece of scrub land, which we are
now having fenced in. The Enclosure is
such that no skunk once in there will
ever be able to get out. We are digging
holes in the ground, and underbrush
heaps for the protection Of the skunks.
I'VE have offered rewards for all the
skunks in the neighboring country. We
pay $1.25 for short or narrow striped
skunk and $3.50 for black one, tho
latter being by far the most valuable.
Already one young fellow has caught
is, another IL, and others lesser num-
bers. We shall probably start in with
about so. We will gradually develop
the breed by cutting out all Of the
scrubs:sothat we7ean have black breed
in the end.
"A man up in Michigan gave US the
idea. He has ten-acre lot full Of
skuuks and is clearing from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year from them without .
stroke of work, you might say.
1.-THE sknnks become domesticated
and are not troublesome We expect
to furnish enough fur tn supply all of
Missouri within . comparatively short
time. There have been several requests
for stock in our concern, but we think
we have q good thing and are holding on
to It,"

PERJURY IN EVERY COURT.
Great Evil That Is Becoming Menace
to Justice and Liberty in
This Country.

An interesting contribution to the
proof of the prevalence of perjury in
court proceedings is furnished, says
the Brooklyn Citizen, by a recent story
Of the restitution of $3.50 to a street
railway company of this city-by the
priest Of q Polish church in Manhat-
tan, acting on behalf of a woman who
confessed to him that she had OBJ
tanned 1t as her share of q verdict in
her suit for damages against the COM
pany by false testimony
According to the story, she testified
falsely by the advice of her lawyer,
who told her that If she presented
nothing but the truth in court she
could recover nothing. So she per-
jured herself. OF course the priest
could not be bound to reveal her
identity and he did not, holding that
he had done his full duty to both the
woman and the company in securing
the restitution of the money fraud
ulently obtained.
The story exemplifies the difficulties
80 often met with by the railroad COM
panies in answers to the frequent
damage suits, and justifies. as far as
1t goes. their complaints of the way
in which many of them are worked
up; a complaint that is also made by
many lawyers, who say that per-
furious testimony is increasingly en-
countered in the trial of cases, and
particularly those in which the for
eign element is concerned.
This state of things is encouraged
by the success which, as in the case
cited, is secured by perjured testimony
in the suits brought, but not by that
alone. It receives it's chief encour.
agement from the immunity from
prosecution and punishment given to
perjurers and suborners of perjury
through the neglect of the authorities
to follow up the evidence and the
clews that would often lead to the
conviction Of the guilty. This preva-
lence of perjury is, indeed. a matter
OF such consequence to the commun.
ity-even more harmful, perhaps. than
murder-that It deserves the most
vigorous and rigorous attention of
these who have the power to effect
general reformation in it.

The Smell Of Whisky Interferes with

when winning Charley" found his way
to the side of a newspaper man with
the old plea. Charley's plea is always
original in form. Sometimes he is
bricklayer out of work, sometimes he
has just been robbed, occasionally he
is only the ordinary TOUGHER. But, some
how, he always manages to get into the
pockets Of Chicagoans for touches that
are the envy of all other members Of
the profession.
This day he began his tale of woe, and
ere long the listener VAS forced to notice,
for the odor that came from the beg
gar's breath was Intoxicating In its in
tensity. Charley admitted that he
drank. The newspaper man informed
him that 1t would be useless for him
to attempt to deny it with his breath
what it was. Instantly q look of seri-
GUS concerns overspread the beggar's
features.

Charley hung his head dejectedly.
