No Duplicate Chandeliers.

"Did you ever notice" said the OBJ
serving man, that every public build
ing has chandeliers unlike those Of
any other public building? There are
no duplicates. You go into one church
and you see a handsome chandelier
that it would seem worth while to
duplicate for another church, but you
never find 1t in another church. You
go into big hall and you'll observe
some stunning globes and chandelier
fixtures and look for 'em in some 9TH
er big hall, but they're not there.
II don't know what principle the
makers of chandeliers go on, whether
it is matter of pride with them not
to fit out two buildings alike, or
whether contractors for such build
ings insist on exclusive designs; but
the chandelier people must employ
some remarkably versatile artists to
think up so many different designs. 1t
seems like waste of money to make
only one of kind, but it is pleasure
to know that hall or home may be ex-
elusive in it's chandeliers"

To a native of Ceylon If there were
nothing else on earth wherewith to
minister to his necessities than the
cocoanut tree, that native could pass
his existence in ease and happiness.
His bolts and bars are slips OF the
bark. His plot of chillies, tobacco and
fine grain is fenced with the leaf stalk.
His children are swung to sleep in a
net of string made solely from the
husk of the fruit.
Their meals of rice and scraped
cocoanut are boiled over a fire of
cocoanut shells and husks, and are
eaten off dish formed Of the plated
green leaves Of the trees with spoons
cut out of the nutshells.
When thirsty he drinks Of the fresh
juice of the young nut; when hungry
he eats its soft kernel
In merry mood he sips glass of
"arrack" distilled from the fermented
juice Of the palm, and dances to the
music of rude cocoanut castanets; his
coffee he sweetens with cocoanut
sugar and sips it by the light of a
lamp constructed from the cocoanut
shell and fed by cocoanut oil.
The doors, windows, shelves, chairs
of his house are invariably made from
the wood of the tree, while his forks,
mugs. saltcellars, jars. basins are all
constructed from the wood of the tree,

COLLEGE MEN FOR THE FARM.
Result Of Change In Economic and
Social Conditions.

The character of farming Is chang
ing rapidly. II Is coming more and
more TO be an efficient. profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception. In the past We
have not given much consecutive
thought to the Understanding like
as much as the merchant gives TO his
business or the doctor TO his. II has
been so easy" a business that I'M
trained men could succeed in il. The
change in economic and social condi-
tons is breaking up the tradition,
Farming is becoming more difficult,
and the old methods must so. In the
future only the well-informed and eff
cient.thinking man can succeed. that
is. only the educated man.
The country Is TO offer other advan'
tages to the educated man than mere
ly to be good farmer. There are
good opportunities for leadership on
public questions-probably better OPP
portunity and with less competition
than In the great cities. The fact that
city representation is increasing In the
legislatures should make the able
country representative more OF a
marked man. The growth OF the insti-
tute movement. OF the grange and 9th.
er rural organizations. gives fresh op-
portunity to develop leadership of a
high order.
II would seem that, by the nature
Of the progress We are making. the
college man must go to the farm. In
fact. college men have been going
back from the beginning OF the agri.
cultural education movement. Stats
tics show that large percentage
actually have returned to farming.
and this In spite OF the fact that
cities have been growing with marvel.
Gus rapidity. and that the whole sys-
TEN Of agricultural, colleges and ex.
pertinent stations has been developing
and calling for men. Considering the
limitations under which the agricul.
tural colleges have developed. without
sympathy, with the Indifference and
sometimes the opposition Of educators

better-with wholly inadequate funds,
it is little less than marvellous what
they have accomplished within gen
Grafton. 1t is probable that the pro
portion of students Of the leading az
ricultural colleges. who now engage In
agricultural pursuits. is greater than
students of that of colleges of law or
Of other professional colleges who fol
low their chosen profession. No one
now questions the value Of education
to lawyer or physician; why question
its value to farmer? The educated
man will 60 back to the farm If he Is
fitted to be farmer.-Scribners Mag

Plenty Of Room There Now.

When ministers exchange they
usually preach old sermons, but, how
ever, they generally look over the MS
carefully to see if the local points
need alteration.
A Somerville preacher many years
ago went to Andover to preach and
neglected this simple precaution In
his discourse was an allusion to the
insane asylum at Somerville, and for
getting for the moment that he was
