that she will continue SO. However
great may be- her devotion to the gen
eral cause of learning at Il given time,
before the moon wakes again that
broad affection may be particularized
and focused upon one weak and I'M
worthy member of the human tribe, and
this is phenomenon against which
no human power has yet been found
to avail. The best school teacher is
the girl who has most Of the domestic
instinct and is most likely to leave the
pedagogic calling and find her natural
and proper place as the arbiter OF her
own home. 1t is pleasant to find the
DRY agreeing with good sense, and the
test of good sense is Its agreement with
the fixed and universal laws of
mother nature The idea that the
woman school teacher Is an emo
tionless species OF humanity is jus.
about as senseess rs it is ungallant.

The man with the figures tells us
that in fifty years this country will
have 200,000,000 population, and he
wants to know what will happen. As
we will not be here we are determined
not to worry about it, Our ancestors
not only killed but ate each other. Pos
sibly in the remote future the old Gus
tom will become fashionable. We re-
call that in early life we met up with
one or two people we thought plenty
sweet enough to eat. The fact that this
hereditary appetite now lies dormant
is no sign that it will net break gu.
again at some future time and become
quite popular.

IL any man wishes to inmortalize
himself let him invent some way to
punish wife desertion. This crime has
increased in Chicago 100 per cent il
three years and Cook County. Illinois,
Is now supporting 1000 deserted fans
lies. To bring the faitheSs husbands
back, prosecute and punish them would
cost just as much as 1t does to support
their families, and it Is Impossible to
prove desertion after they are brought
back. They all pretend to have gone
off to get employment ANA to have been
unfortunate, and TO rebut their stories
would cost another pile of money. What
is needed is some genius who will M
vent some cheap WAY to punlsh cheap
husbands.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube Is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when IL Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroys forever:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.

Rossini's Laziness.

Rossini was one Of the most indo-
lent of men and in his younger days
used to do most of his composing in
bed. Once he had almost completed a
trio, when the sheet fell out of his
hand and went under the bed. He
could not reach it, and, rather than
get up, he wrote another. The lazy
man, If he works at all, does so by
spurts, and Rossini, working against
time, wrote 1.-THE Barber of Seville"
in thirteen days. When Donizetti was
told Of this he remarked, 1T is very
possible. He is so lazy!" The over
ture to the "GaZza Ladra' was writ
ten under curious circumstances. On
the very day of the first performance
of the opera not note of the over
ture was written. and the manager,
getting hold of Rossini, confined him
in the upper loft Of la Scala, setting
four scene shifters on guard over him.
These took the sheets as they were
filed and threw them out of the win,
dows to eopyists beneath.

1t is Spanish gossip that when Prin-
cess. afterward Queen, Victoria COM
planned to her uncle, King Edward,
that some ladies of the court in Madrid
objected because she proposed to enter
tain English friends who were not Of
the royal family, her uncle advised her
to 'be sensible girl" and said, DO
not make enemies. Respect peoples
stupidities when necessary. III tine,
IL you are wise, you will have every
thing your own way" Whether the
King ever said this or not, it is pretty
good advice for every one.

There are many Indications that tDR
common notion of the farmer must be
entirely abandoned. The long wills
kered individual who says ''by heck"
has hayseed in his hair, is interested III
gold bricks, and is ready to. consider
favorable propositions for the transfer
of title in the Masonic Temple in Chi
cago, is Il passing type. The last few
years have revolutionized life ON thu
farm. No one can estimate hcw much
has been accomplished by the rural free
delivery system in changing the situ2-
ton, but it Is the common thing now
for the farmer to receive his daily pa-
over the news as brought to- him by
the metropolitan sheet from the city
perhaps half a thousand miles away.
The almanac which once hung in the
kitchen. experimenting the Bible and
completing the home library, now has
to share with the standard magazines,
the daily and weekly papers, and the
books received from the travelling Ii,
braries sent cut in several States The
better information makes the farmer
less Il stranger to the activities of the
day. The trolley car possibly passes
close by his house. The telephone con.
meets him with his neighbor and with
the stores of the village to which he
used to resort for news and for sup
plies. The improved machinery has
steadily reduced the toilsomeness Of his
task. All these forces combined have
worked toward his transformation. The
cf to-day. There has always been rec
ognition of the Importance of the farm
ing class in the prosperity of the coun-
try The abundant crops and content
ment of the rural class have been asSo-
ciated with the health and happiness
Of the nation. But there has always
BEEN too, tendency to depreciate the
farmer as an individual, and to make
him the butt of ridcule. This condi-
ton has greatly changed because of the
reasons already indicated. When farm
ers meet in national congress and dis
cuss such live questions as those OF
postal savings banks, the election of
pcstmasters, the adoption of the par
cells post system, the relief of farm la
Dor scarcity by immigration, centrali-
cation of schools, Capitalization of
farms, business methods in farming, il
is evident that they are alert. Their
minds have been prepared for such dis
cussions by wide reading and intelli-
gent thought, and they are ready to
reach conclusions of value The city
man reads his daily paper hastily. He
learns to form judgments quickly. He
trains himself to reach decisions some
times without that careful reading and
thoughtful study which the man OF lei-
sure gives to subject. 1t is by no
means certain, however, that his judy
ments and decisions necessarily are bet
ter than those of the farmer, who reads
with more deliberation and thinks more
Slowly because his life is less affect
ed by the noise and rush. The modern
farmer is worth appreciation. He Is
anything but the being Of caricature.
