The Influence of The Farm.

The farm Is the best security we
have for our social we'll being, and
whatever promotes interest there,
whatever raises it in intelligence and
scientific spirit, is one of the most
comforting influences of our civiliza-
ton. And so to have our young men
imbued with the true agricultural spir-
it, to turn away from the adventures
of the commercial life and the allure
ments of mere money making to the
simple, productive, Independent life on
the farm, is one Of the richest promises
in our educational system. For there
is where it belongs-to the expanding
mind force Of the nation. The finest
triumphs of the next fifty years, re-
suits that will go further than all
other enterprise in blessing men, will
be won on the farm. There is science
of soil culture, and the art that is to
be based upon it will open wide the
door to men of thought and refinement.
The answer Of the old artist that he
mixed his paint with brains is akin to
the experience in the farming Of the
future, which will mix brains with the
soil.-Columbus (O) Journal.

The Grnnd CnnHnn

Vast as the bed of a vanished ocean,
deep as Mount Washington riven from
its apex to its base, the grandest can
yon in the world lay glittering below
In the sunlight like submerged con-
tinent. At my very feet so near that
I could have leaped at once into eter-
nifty, the earth was cleft to a depth
of over 6,000 feet-not by a narrow
gorge, but by a gulf within whose
cavernous University Niagara would
be indiscernible and whole cities could
be tossed like pebbles.-E. W. G. Wes-
son in The Wide World Magazine.

The more violent the storm the soon

A CITY of the Pnsf.

Rimini is full of associations with
thrilling people of the past. 1t was
here that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
We crossed ourselves on the very
bridge his feet had touched 1t was
here, too, that st. Anthony came to
preach and, finding no people who
would give heed to him, turned in de.
spair and preached to the fishes, who
raised their heads out of the water to
listen to him. There is a chapel which
marks the spot where he stood by the
water. In Rimini lived Paolo and
Francesca, the tragedy Of whose love
every one knows-Travel Magazine.

Defrauding the Waiter.

In Partisan cafe an American or
dered a hors doeuvre, sole, agneau
pre- sale, artichoke salad, peche Melba,
and so on, and when the waiter
brought him bill of 80 francs he paid
it like a man. After his change was
brought he counted it and pushed a
franc toward the waiter for a tip.
But the man, pushing back the franc,
said in gentle reproach:
Pardon, monsieur, but that is the
counterfeit franc."-Argonaut.

Like the Mythical Dragon.

In the Malay archipelago is a reptile
much like the mythical dragon. 1t has
false ribs that extend the loose skin
and form its wings. There is also a
frog with spreading feet that makes a
parachute which enables it to fit from
tree to tree, and flying lemur that can
spread out its whole body like an um-
brella and leap and fly hundred feet
at time, from the top of one tree to
another.

Gold and silver Gospe1s.

''The Gold and Silver Gospels" is the

served in the Upsala library in Swe-
den. 1t is printed with metal type on

silver and the initials gold. When it
was printed, by whom or what were

which have great interest for the curl

DraMinn q Tnnth

An elephant had a raging toothache,
the agony of which caused her to near
ly destroy her caravan. She was
thrown on her side and roped to stakes.
Two men held a pair of ice tongs fast
round the aching tooth, and a couple
of dray horses attached to the tongs
by rope did the rest. The tooth was
aixteen inches long by three inches
across.

August Shallow drove upon the
Spencer scales Friday on the trot
and the buggy wheels on one side
dropping into the opening between
the platform and the frame caused
the horses to jump, both single
trees swapping off like pipe stems
and jerking the buggy forward the
tongue came in contact with the
ground with such force as to break
off the end. Mr.. Shallow holding
to the lines was jerked out over the
front end but for a wonder alighted
right side up and soon succeeded
in hating the horses. No other
damage was done.
