Got Hts Well Dug,

An Ir.shmap took . contract to dig
q well. When he had dug about TWEEN.
ty fset down, he came one morning
sn1 found that the well had fallen In
and was filed to the top. Pat looked
cautiously around and saw no one was
near, he shsn took of bis hat and coat
snd hung shem on the Windlass, and
crswIed into some bushes and waited
events. In q short time she neighbors
discovered that the well had fallen In,
snd seeing Pats hat and cost on she
windlass supposed that he vas st the
bottom OF she excavation. A few
hours of digging cleared the loose
earth from the well. just as the eX-
cavstors had reached the bottom and
Wsre wondering where the body was.
Pat came out Of the bushes and good
nsturedly thanked the diggels for re.
lieying him Of his sorry job.

ORIGIN OF NATIONAL HOLIDAY
John Adams Spoke Of July secono
Instead Of the Fourth.

On the Cd of July, ITS, JoAn
Adams, then one Of the represents
tiVes Of Massachusetts, in the Conll-
mental Congress, wrote to his "lle
Abigail:
yesterday the greatest question
was decided which vas ever deoaleo
IN America, and a greater perhaps
never was nor never will be decided
among nen."
In q second letter, written the
same day, he said:
"But the day is, past. The I'd OF
July will be the most memorable
eDocha In the history Of America. l
sm apt to believe it will be cele-
brsted by succeeding generations as
the great anniversary festival. 1t
ought to be commemorated as the
day Of denverance by solemn acts OF
devotion to God Almighty. 1t oughs
to be solemuized with ponD ana pa
rade, with shows, games, spcr1s'
guns, bells, bolfres and illumlna-
lions, from one end OF this continent
to the other, from this time forward
for evermore."
When the resolution was taken up
the I'd day Of July, 1776, the lnoe-
pendence OF the Thirteen United
Colonies from the throne Of Great
Britain was definitely decided upon.
The I'd, and not the 4th, may De
called the true date of the separa-
ton. We could with propriety cele-
brate the Fourth" two days earlier.
That the participants in the work
considered the Sd as the true date is
shown by the letters written by John
Adams, quoted at the beginning OF
the article. The popular fancy, how
ever, seized upon the 4th, the date
Of acceptance Of Jefferson's more
dramatic declaration Of the reasona
/ for the separation, as the proper day
to celebrate.
The debate upon the document
was continued until the afternoon OF
the Attn, and, says Jefferson, might
have run on interninably at any
other season Of the year. But the
weather was oppressiyely warm, anc
the hall IL which the. deputies sal
was close to 2 stable. whence the
hungry flies swarmed thick and
fierce, alighting on the legs of the
delegates and biting hard through
their thin silk stockings. Treason
vas preferable to discomfort, ane
at last the delegates were brought tt
such state Of mind as to agree te
the Declaration without furthe;
amendment.
It is a mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the dele
gates on that day. It is improbable
that any signing was done save b!
John Hancock, the president of thu
Congress, and Charles Thomson, th'
secretary-Earper's Magazine.

Should Noc Be Allowed,

One neighbor should nos allow his
stock to dspredste upon his neigh
boris fields. There Is no telling how
much troubls and annoyance this is
to 9 man who is engaged il raising
grain AID winter vegetables. The
law requires that al stcck should be
shut up and not be allowed to run at
large, but man does not want to
take up bis neiehbors stock wheu 1t
snnoYs him and no man should force
his nsigbbor to do it by failure 20 OBJ

man should practice she golden rule,
that is to do to Others SIS would have
them do to him. So Il your stock is
running out and annoying your
neighbor, be neighbozly and shut
them up, as you would want him to
do Il his stock was annoying you.

Ancient Jewellers Association.

Birmingham jewelers. have been
famed since the middle Of the seven
teenth century. When Charles, Il.
brought with him to England the
French fashion Of wearing metallic
ornaments Birmingham ct once took
the lead In supplying them. and the
city then commenced 9 career of
prosperity which has never save for
brief periods suffered abatement.
Even Southey, who could scarcely
find sufficiently censorious language
to describe Birmingham, allowed
that it "excelled every other place in
the world for watch ehains, neck
laces, bracelets, buttons. buckles and
snuffboSes, though" be said, they
were dearly purchased at the es-
pense OF health and morality"

Stock Food Fraud.

The Rsleigh Progressive Farmer
prints notable article exposing tEe
stock food fraud, which it pronounces
the most stupendous swin6le now be-
ing prsoticed upon American farmers.
Millions and millions OF dollars are
spent every year-several thousand
dollars q year perhaps in this very
country-sor gaudily advertised
'.ssock foods" condition powders"
etc., for farm animals, while tbs IN.
vestigstious and tests made by the
Experiment. Stayions have demon.
serass6 that these preparations are
nothing more than common nesl,
bran, etc., with little cheap sui

peter, ETC., added to chsnge the lasts
snd the mixture (hsrdly more Valus.
ole thsn ship Stuff put up In hsming
packages, advertised IN tsrn papers.
aud sold to gullible farmers st rates
ranging from $3.50 to 81, 500 a ton.
These stock foods, which can be
found in almost any country store,
have recently been tested in seven
different Experiment. Stations, and
our farmers who sre paying such
anornous prices tcr TIE mixtures,
should be interested in the results as
reported by The Progressive Farmer.
Il Minnescts steers without stock
food gave better results than those
using the stock foods. In Kslsss two
lot Of sheep were fei IN those without
stock fosds made III pounds greater
gain. Ia Massachusetts, slight gain
In butter was msde-but at 8 tn
creased cost OF 4S cents poua6l OF
nineteen experiments IN Nes Jerseys
sixteen showed no gains, and in the
three cases where gains were nsde
from stock foods, their lost was so
gress &c 90 make their use unprofta
bic. In Iowa sl.40 stesr wss lost
by using These highpricsd mixtures.
And so it goes. The Progressive
Farmer gives instances after instance
out we mention these examples mere
ly to warn our farmers against vast
ing further the many hard. earned
dollars thst go ont from our country
cash gear for these nuch-acverGised
frauds-for frauds they sre, although
so consplcuously advertised IN many
farm papers: and the Progressive Far
mar reports that it loses 81, coo 2 year

When Banks Were Established
It Is to Italy that the first estab-

banks were founded By Lombard
Jews.
The name bank" is derived from
the word "banco." which originally
was a term applied to benches set in
the market-place for the exchange OF
money. The first public bank was
opened in Venice in 1850. The Bank
Of England was established IN 1893.
