American Farming.

An Illinois farmer says: Comparing
the composite picture of the American
farmer at the threshold Of 1904 with
his likeness in 1889, there is good
ground for estimating his present
value as double that of fifteen years
ago. Potentially he is the coming man.
All roads leading 10 the farm are
being more and more Travelled. Inter-
course promotes development and the
farmer is demanding larger share in
the life of the nation. In response TO
this demand a rising tide, Of effort and
accomplishment is seen on every hand.

The Rural Free Delivery.

IFrom the Philadelphia 2ress.l
as a matter Of fact, President Clcve-
land in his messages actually opposed
rural free delivery. Nevertheless con.
gress made a small appropriation Of
$4,000 to test the feasibility Of es.
tabishing a system Of free mail de.
livery in rural districts. But Cleve-
lands postmaster general, Mr. Bissell.
refused to apply it or make the at
tempt. The appropriation was re-
newed. and Mr. Bissell's successor,
Postmaster General william L. VII
son, also refused to use IL.
II was not until President McKin-
leys administration that any practical
attempt was made TO organize rural
free delivery, and then the movement
was taken up so thoroughly, efficiently
and faithfully that while he was presl-
dent about 5000 rural delivery routes
were established and the system was
created and made as permanent a part
OF the postal service as free city de
livery There are now more than 20
coo routes in operation, and the whole
work from the beginning has been
done under Republican administration.

How they first "Got Among the
COmmonRIty" In Scotland.
In Galt's Annals Of the Parish"
the Rev Micah Balwhidder quantity
chronicles the events of his district In
Scotland about the year 1850. In the
course Of these records he says:
Il should not in my notations forget
to mark a new luxury that got among
the commonalty at this time. BY the
opening OF new roads and by our
young men sailing 20 the West Indies
heaps Of sugar were brought home,
while many, among the cabbages in
their yards had planted groset and ber-
~ bushes, which two things happen
ing together, the fashion to make jam
and Jelly. which hitherto had been only
known in the kitchens Of the gentry,
came to be introduced into the vii
lage.
"All this, however, was not without
a plausible pretext, for 1t was found
that Jelly was an excellent medicine
for sore throat and jam a remedy
as good as London candy for a cough
or a cold or n shortness Of breath. In
the berry time there was no end to
the borrowing Of her brass pan, which
occasioned a great fasherle to Mrs
Balwhidder."

HUMAN BRAINS.
The difference Between Those Of
the Male aud Female.


The female brain IN human creatures
is smaller than that OF the male and
It is also lighter The difference in
weight IS considerable. The average
mans brain is between four and
FIVE ounces heavier than the average
woman's. The reason, It may be said,
Is that the woman herself is smaller
than the man IN size and weight That
accounts partly for the difference. but
not entirely.
The diminished size and weight Of the
brain are said 20 be n fundamental sex
uai distinction In the human species.
Il is not peculiar 90 civilized men and
women. hut Is found universally
among savagcs. wherever sufficient OBJ
servations have been made
There IS said 60 be also a difference
or balance between the various parts
OF the compared brains. The occipital
lobes. which preside chiefly over the
physical functions or the organism,
are declared 70 be more voluminous in
the female than in the male. a physio-
logical fact which is contrary to COM
mon belief.
II appears TO be unquestionable that
in purely intellectual endowment the
man ls superior 10 tie woman. On the
other hand. In the equally noble emo
tional capacity the woman IN superior

Under average atmospheric conditions
a large telescope gives US a view OF
the moon as it would be without the
telescope at a distance Of 40 miles

The necessary outfit Tor the journey
must be much more extensive than for
any trip on the earth, even the trip to

you must take along supply for

IRE and cook your dinner you must
take, In addition TO fuel, an additional
supply OF air to keep your Ere going.
But suppose that in some way you
are landed on the moon with a supply
Of things necessary for sustaining life.
II you are on a part OF the moon on
which the sun is shining you win mar

Intense hIackness OF the shadows.

almost total darkness. as there is no
air flled with little dust particles to
scatter the sunlight so that It may
illuminate the places out OF the direct
path Of It's rays
And what sense Of .desolation will
present itself to your viewl The
desert OF Sahara would look Ike a
luxuriant park IN comparison with the
lunar landscape-not a blade Of grass,
not tree or brook or lake, nothing
but a vast stony silent desert. There
are plains. not quite as level as our
western praiI1es. and great numbers OF
mountains. most OF them much sleeper
than those on the earth; they are not
grouped in long ranges, as our ter
restrial mountains generally are. but
are scattered all over the surface
singly and in irregular groups Most
Of them are shaped more or less liks

rFrom the New York Tribune.l
The Democratic party's promise to
enforce economy in expenditures and
10 return TO "Jeffersonian simplicity in
Office" is the purest buncombe II is a
glittering generality, a mere rhetorical
extravaganza; It is a pledge impossi-
bic Of fulhllmcnt, a pledge nullifed by
contrary party pledges more binding
because more specific. In the Demo
cratic platform itself this conflict Of
professions is obvious and glaring.
Vague exhortations to economy" are
made ridiculous by an utter failure TO
indicate specific lines along which
economies are desirable or practicable.

an old shoe lying in the aisle. Suppos-

at him, he picked It up and dropped It
out Of the windo'i. An old man across
the aisle wakened few minutes later
and began looking for that particular
