SUNDAY IN THE CITY.
It's Quiet in Winter, but In Summer

From the Providence Journal
If there is anything in the course of the
week that gives me feeling Of solid COM
fort" said a West Side man, lit Is the
quiet Sunday at home. l don't go to
church very often, perhaps to my discredit
but do enjoy putting in the day with a
good book, after glance through a sun

two by way of gentle exercise. = 8 =
The quiet Sunday at home Is ali right in
midwfnter. but at this season Of this gear
1t is more or less of Failure. at least in
my neighborhood. So long as the weather
calls for open windows the word quiet Is
nothing but a niockerys L rather reckon it
all on with my quiet Sundays until the last
OF next October. s#
"A few weeks ago sat down with my
paper as usual after breakfast, and after
an hour or two my brain was a seething

ne day of rest for the neighbors Tor most

Adapting Farming Methods.

rToin Stutury.
1t has been demonstrated on half score
OF experiment stations, on as many more
model farms maintained by western rail-
roads. and on hundreds of private farms,
that all that is necessary on the plains

'leys is fntellfgently to make the
most of the rains and. SHOWS that fall
In order to grow as good crops as can be
raised anywhere. In other words, farming
methods must be adapted to natural condi-
tons This seems SO simple and self-eyi-
dent that the only wonder is that men
have been SO very slow In finding 1t out.
1t ought not to be hard to believe that
lands that produce the rich buffalo and
grama-grasses of the. plains without cui-
uvatol, can be made to produce crops
still more valuable with cultivation adapt

same argument lite further, there are
many who believe that wherever sage
brush, cactus plants, yucca, Spanish bayo-
net. and greasewood will grow, plants of
economic value may be made to- grow also

The Variety in Language.
From Success.


Wherever we may have been born. we
use and accept as ours one language, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific: it is hard,
therefore, for US to realize that in some
parts OF Europe the real language of the
country is confined to the use of the peas
ant population. In parts of Belgium. for
instance. Flemish is used by the workman,
servants. cabmen and the poorest classes.
French is the speech of the rest of the pop
ulatioE. The street signs are printed in
both. In Finland the peasants speak only
Finnish. In the towns Swedish (which has
no relation whatever to Finnish) is spoken,
whereas the official language OF the courts
is Russian. Cultivated Firms depend for
their literature largely upon the outside
world, and are, therefore, conversant with
English French and German.
Germany is fairly uniform In speech, but
there are 100000 Wends living IN or near
the fens and forests OF the upper Spree.
These have kept their national customs and
their Slavic speech, despite the progress of
the modern Germans around them They
publish six Journals.
Although in America we have large num-
bers OF people whose mother tongue is one
of the more difficult and rarer languages,
this class of the population is not very APP
