loss of 40 old and faithful servant, Mrs

been able to secure woman to take the

become greatly depressed by household
cares. Monday morning her husband went
out to try to get another servant Dur
ing his absence his wife killed herself by
inhaling illuminating gas. In a letter
which she left she said; Goodbye.

HEAVY FAILURE.

The assignment Of j. NJ. Ceballos IL
Co., bankers and merchants, with liabli-
ties between SO, 900, 900 and 81, coo, 900,
was announced yesterday in statement
which declared that the failure was due to
the defalcation and absconding of Manuel
Silveira, of the New York company.
Silveira's defalcation is alleged to
amount to about 81, 900, 900. He sailed
from Havana on October 2, ostensibly
for New York city to consult with
J. NJ. CeballOs & Co., but has not
reached the latter city. Counsel for the
assignee said yesterday that Slveira has
left on his own steamer, the Camelina,
for parts unknown, accompanied by his
wife and children, and that every effort
was being made to locate him. The
members of the firm OF j. NJ. Ceballos u
Co. are j. NJ. Ceballos, John 5. Fiske
and Anderson G. Wilson The assignee
is William V. Rowe, Of the law firm OF
Sullivan & Cromwell, of New York.
Mr.. Rowe said yesterday that the assets
of the firm were OF a very substantial
character, but from hasty examination
it was manifest that they would require
careful outstanding. Accountants are
now at work on the books ofthe company.
1t was stated nnofficially that there was
ground to hope that the assets would be
sufficient to cover the losses of the firm
and that it would be enabled % resume
business. The frm was established about
80 years ago and has large interests in
Cuba. chiefly in the development OF
railroads and sugar plantations.
Members OF the firm are identified with
number OF banking and mercantile
associations.

The Failure Off. VI. CebaIIos & Co.

New York, Oct. ll.-With the open
ing of the banks today the full extent
of the liabilities of j. NJ. CeballOs q Co
who failed yesterday was estimated at
between SO, 900, 900 and "a, 900, 600. Al
though disqualification of the storyof the
defalcation of Manuel Silveira, head of
the Havana house which caused the fail
are, had put all mariners along the
coast on the lookout, no word has been
received from the Carmeina, the steamer
on which the missing man embarked.
Developments show that the Ceballos
Company was unfortunate in its Havana
connection. The firm of j NJ. CebalIos
& Co. for fifty years has been the leader
in trade between the United States and
Cuba and Porto Rico. The assets con-
sist chiefly of sugar properties and plan
tatiOns. The head OF the Ceballos firm
is director in many big corporations in
Cuba and Porto Rico, also the Inter
national Banking Corporation. 1t is
feared the failure will force many small
enterprises to the wall.

Random Farm Notes.

whenever water stands on any por-
tion Of the farm ut any season of the
year it indicates that draining is nee
cssary and that much of the land con-
tiGhous to ii is wet and cold.
1t doesn't pay to do the chores af-
ter dark in The spring and summer
The chores are iust as important and
profitable as any other fran work
and should be done in the daylight.
The crop will never grow with the
manure that stays in the barn lot. Get
it scattered.
There is no reason why the farmer
should not drive just as good team
as the man in the city. IIc must have
horses, why not have good ones2 1t
costs no more to keep good team
than a por one.
There are great many farmers and
fields that can never be cultivated at
a profit. These, if planted with for
est trees, such as crestnuts, oaks, pines
and larches, will. produce growtl,
of timber which will be ourcc of
profit.
Wood ashes make good fertili-
ger when put upon the land before
they become blcachcd. One ton of
ashes contain 100 pounds Of potash,
10 pounds of phosphoric acid and GOO
pounds of lime.
Gou may run ton of coal through
the fire box of an engine and not raise
pound of steam; also YOU may run
several tons of feed through your
stock and get any result. Another
man may give half the amount of
feed and realize twice rs much.
One way to get good roads in a
community is for each man to take m
interest in the roads passing his farm,
instead of feeling that the state and
county work is n legitimate opportun-
ity !or shirking.

Some farmers seem to act upon the
principal that the more scrubby their
stock is the more they must have, This
reminds us of the little boy who was
buying knives at 10 cents and selling
them at 6 cents. He said he would
have to sell lot of knives inordcr
to make any money ont Of it.
1t is law of physics that two bod
les cannot occupy the same place at
the same time, and You fellows who
will try to raise big crop of weeds
and a bumper crop of corn in one field
at the same time are going to find
that law of physics has not been re,
pealed.
The most valuable by-product OF
the dairy is the manure, and the place
for the manure is on the fields, by the
agency of a good spreader Every
dollars worth Of manure is a dollar
Of the farmers capital. 1t can't earn
anything unless it be invested in the
production of another crop.
The best farmer l ever knew was al

was and always stood out for that
price.

Farming as a Profession.


Probably no man in the country is
so well qualified to discuss authorita-
lively the attitude of young men today
toward farming rs n profession as l..
II. Bailey, director Of Cornell Univer-
sity Agricultural College. Professor
Bailey's presentation on the July
Century of the reasons many intelli-
gent men urge against farming as a
life work has excited wide discussion.
In the August Century he will give
the reasons which are leading young
Americans today to follow farming.
He has summarized for this second
article the replies sent him by sixty
eight city-brcd or town-bred students
Of Cornell University who intend to
pursue Misunderstanding considered
IN its broad scnse--as buSincS. The
replies considered by Professor Bailey
III the Forthcoming nrticvle are mark
ed, he ays, by the prominence given
to ideals and by the subordination Of
more personal cmolument and desire
for money. This authoritative prescn-
tation of facts, especially in conncc-
tioin with Professor Bailcy's discus
sion of "Why DO the Boys Leave the
Fram,' cannot fail to be of great
suggestive interest and value.

OLD MAIDS IN FRANCE.
Discussion Regarding the Use of
Madame and Made
moiselle.''

london Tribune.
Several Of the leading Partisan
newspapers are occupying themselves
very much with the subject "Madame
or Madcmoiscllc.' -
cit has been suggested quite ser
iously,' states a Partisan correspond
ent, 'thnt women over 30 should be
called 'Madamc,' whether they are
married or single. This is in strict
accordance with the French idea that
all women ought to be married long
before they reach tho age of 80.
"1t is not at all likely that any
real change will take place with re-
gard to the mode of addressing the
softer sex, but the discussion in the
newspapers has opened up some inter
esting and amusing points. One
writcr---a famous journalist and an
equally famous wit-points out that
serious difficulties would surround
the years, not to mention months,
which go Immediately before and i'm
mediately after the fatal 80. Ono
could not very we'll say, 'Mademoiselle
Il think2' or 'Madame-I am
afraid7' Politcness would demand a
universal 'Mademoiselle,' for who
would dare to take for granted that
any woman, married or single, had
reached the 'scttleaown' age7
"Putting aside this rather absurd
discussion. it is intercstinw,' adds
our correspondent. ''to study the
Madame of M&demniscle' question
in ordinary life; all Young French
women over tho age Of II like to be
addressed sS Madame, and a great
many Ere" "h women of uncertain
age'-maried women, be it under
stood-like to be addressed as Made
moiselle!' ! French women invariably
deny this last but in a great many of
the smaller shops bread shops, milk
shops, and So on married woman
sufficiently well on in years will often
find herself addressed as 'Mademoi-
sello' MS specially attractive and
ingratiatin% appellation.

1t is strange land so far as women
are concerned; the jeune file has
