The Farmer. 1ndiyiduali.m.

Farming is virtually the only great
series Of occupations that is morgan
lied, unsyndiosted, unmonopolized, I'M
controlled, except as it is dominated
by natural laws Of commerce and the
arbitrary limitations imposed by organ
ization in other business. In time
Of extreme organization and subordina-
ton Of the individual the farmer still
retains his traditional individualism
and economic separateness. His en-
tire scheme Of life rests on intrinsic
earning by means of his own efforts.
The scheme in most other businesses
is to make profits, and these profits are
often nonintrinsic and fictitious, as, for
example, In the habit Of gambling in
stocks, in which the Spectator by
mere shrewdness turns over his money
to advantage, but earns nothing in the
process and contributes nothing to
civilization in the effort. If the farm
er steps outside his own realm he is
met on one side by organized capital
and on the other by organized labor.
He Is confronted by fixed earnings.
What he himself secures is a remainder
left at the end Of years business

The True Test of Oysters.

"The best oyster experts that know
Of" said the captain of an oyster boat.
Judge an oyster by the smell instead
Of by the taste. There is something
about the smell of any oyster that in
dicates its condition to me much plain
er than does the taste. People buy
them and eat them probably on ac-
count Of their taste So also do they
buy tea, coffee and the various grades
of whisky and brandy for their taste,
but all experts on those things pass
upon them entirely by their smell. The
professional tea faster or whisky tast-
er. so called, never tastes them, but
simply arrives at their taste by their.
peculiarities Of flavor or, to speak
plainly; smell. can tell what price
a load Of oysters will be rated at when
they arrive at the wharf here by open.
ing up the hold Of the boat and SMELL
ing In eight cases out of ten I am
right. 1t strikes oystermen as strange
when they see persons going about
from boat to boat, as they lie at the
wharf, tasting oysters before they con-
clude to buy. Taste is all right, but
If they don't smell right they will never
taste right. Washington Star.

country under promise of marriage.
Upon arrival in New York he forced
the friendless girl upon the streets
while he lived in comfort upon the
earnings of her shame. The evil
dence showed that several other
girls were likewise in his tolls. He
watched the girls closely and hired
others to watch them in order that
they might not escape. Several
times the Claiche girl ran away, but
was found by Gerdron and unmerci-
fully beaten. Similar beatings were
administered whenever the days
earnings did not come up to the ex-
pectations or requirements of the
master. Finally, when the beatings
became unbearable. the girl had the
man arrested. She pointed him out
to the officer on the street and he
was taken into custody. On the way
to the station, the girl following to
make the complaint the man threat

prominence who have taken a strong
interest in the French girl ever since
her story became known. They con-
fidently expect an acquittal.
