THE SMALL FARM AND THE IDLE BOY.

James J. Hill, president OF The
Great Northern Railway, spoke re-
Gently of the value of the small farm
to the boy who does not know what
to do. He said in part:
"If every idle boy in this country
would fit himself to make an ear of
corn, just one ear of corn grow, or
single bushel Of potatoes, or bushel
of oats or rye, we would not be able
to find in all the country cars enough
to haul the product away.
Every carshop in the country
would be run to its utmost capacity
to supply orders. If every idle boy
would set to work to cultivate just
one acre of now useless land, the sur
face of the land would look like one
immense garden, and no other nation
could compete with us IN food supply.
"There is no work that can be un
dertaken SO important as the right
production of food supplies. Strange
as it may seem to some the popula-
tion of the earth has not enough food.
There is not enough produced,
and this problem is growing more
serious every year. Boys who do
not know what they should do can
undertake nothing better than bend
ing themselves and their brains to
small farm work. 1t will pay. Every
railroad will encourage them. Every
business interest will, for no matter
how important banking, merchan-
dizing, inanciering may be, they are
transcended in value by the work of
the farmer-the food producer. He
leads them ALL"

THE ORIGIN OF A FAMOUS SONG.

How the Swanee River came to be
immortalized in song is thus related
by Gustave. Kobbe, in his work,
''Songs and Their Makers -
One day in 1851, Foster entered
his brother Morrison's Office in Pitts
burg. Morrison" he said. "I've
got a new song, and I want the name
of some Southern river in two sylla-
bles to use in it.. His brother sug-
gerted Yazoo. That would not do.
Then Peedee. Foster would not
have it. Morrison then took down
an atlas from his shelf and opened it
on his desk at the map of the United
States. Together the two brothers
looked over it. At last Morrison's
finger stopped at little river in
Florida. "That's it That's it !"
Foster exclaimed delightedly. "Now
listen" He hastily scribbled in
word on piece of paper he had in
his hand, and then read to his broth
er the lines beginning, "Way down
upon the Swanee Ribber." Can the
line be imagined as "Way down upon
the Yazoo Ribber?" or "Way down
upon the Peedee Ribber?" One pro-
duces an eccentric, the other a comic
effect, whereas "Swanee" has the
flowing, melodious sound that Fos-
ter was seeking. The song has
placed halo of sentiment over the
Swanee, with the result that most
people who see it are disappointed.
IT'S the river of song and best viewed
through the delicate mist of music.

IT WORKED A CURE.

A certain clergyman in Richmond,
says Success, has had in his employ
for so long time negro named Ju-
lian that the latter had come to re-
gard himself as something of conf
dental adviser to the divine.
Early one Sunday morning the pas
tor awoke feeling decidedly i'll. After
futile attempt at breakfast he sum-
moned his old faithful survitor, say
ing:
"Julian, want you to go to my
assistant, Mr.. Blank, and tell him
that, as 1 am unwell, he will oficiate
for me in this mornings service.
At this Julian demurred and after
some argument persuaded his master
that he would feel better if he Off
ciated as usual. This the latter did,
and, as predicted by the darky, he
did return home feeling much better.
"You'se better, sub ?" asked the
servant, meeting his master at the
door.
every much better, thank you,
Julian"
The darky grinned. "What did I
tell you, sub? I knowed you would
be all right just as soon as you got
that sermon outer your system"

THE UNCLE AND THE PARROT.

A farmer visiting New York with
his niece was induced by her to buy
a parrot, which was represented to be
a good talker. After the return home
the young lady undertook to teach
the parrot to say "uncle."
"Say uncle" she would say.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle! Please say
uncle" Then she would COO at the
bird as if it were baby learning to
talk, and feed it and pet it, all the time
begging it to say uncle. But the par
rot looked bored and said nothing.
This had gone on for two days, when
the farmer said "That parrots no
good. I'll put it out" Taking it
to the chicken yard, the farmer grab
bed the bird by the neck and slung it
among the chickens, saying, "Say
uncle, gol darn you say uncle +
The farmer went to dinner, from
which he was called presently by
great noise and commotion in the
chicken yard, where he found seven
hens dead in a corner. In the par
rot's righ claw was another hen
grasped firmly by the neck, and the
parrot was screeching, Say uncle,
gol darn you say uncle p

GOOD MANNERS.

A friend of yours and mine has very
Justly defined good breeding to be
"the result of much good sense, some
good nature and little self denial for
the sake of others, and with a view
to obtaiu the same indulgence from
them" Taking this for granted
as 1 think it cannot be disputed-it
is astonishing to me that anybody
who has good sense and good nature
can essentially fail in good breeding.
AS to the modes of it, indeed they
vary according to persons, places and
circumstances and are only to be ac-
quired by observation and experience,
but the substance of it is everywhere
and eternally the same. Good man
ners are to particular societies what
good morals are to society in general
their cement and security. And
as laws are enacted to enforce good
morals, or at least to prevent the i'll
effects of bad ones, so there are GER
tain rules of civility, universally i'm
piled and received, to enforce good
manners and punish bad ones.--Ches-
te,7feld.

EVERY ASH CAN A COAL MINE.

The remarkable secret for burning
ashes with coal, discovered by John
Fillmore, an Altoona cobbler, and
which has excited attention almost
the world over, is out. Almost every
householder in Altoona is now using
it with great saving in coal bills.
Several well-known chemists imme-
diately after it was announced that
Fillmore had solved the problem of
obtaining heat from ashes set to work
to try to discover the formula. They
were successful, and here it is:
Common salt, one pound.
Oxalic acid, two ounces.
Water, one gallon.
Mix and moisten a mixture con-
tanning one part coal and three parts
ashes and better fuel than pure coal
is obtained. The ashes of anthracite
coal burn as readily as do those of BIZ
luminous. This mixture will upon
being placed upon burning fire fuse
into coke-like mass and deposit but
little residue. The chemical action
of this compound is thus explained +:
When an aqueous solution of an
alkaline salt, such as common salt, is
mixed with coal ash, the result is that
a mild I've is formed, which, when
mixed with any combustible material,
such as coal, upon the application of
heat gives off oxygen gas, thus ena-
bling rapid combustion. The addi-
ton of oxalic acid caused chemical
change of greater value than the first
for the reason that it results in the
formation of carbide, which in turn
gives off acetylene gas, this adding to
the intensity of the heat and facilita-
ting complete combustion. 1t is pos
sible upon moistening a small quan-
tity of ashes without the addition of
coal, to really detect the odor Of acety-
lene gas, and if the treated ashes are
placed upon lighted fire they will
fuse and burn to fine powder.
While it is everywhere conceded
that Fillmore has conferred a great
boon upon humanity, it is feared that
he will not derive any tangible bene-
fits from his discovery in view of the
fact that hundreds of others have Sc
cured the same results, Following his
lead.--N. Y. Wo1M.

SLIGHTLY MIXED.

heard rare story the other day
of good bishop, who was visiting an
outlying portion of his diocese for the
purpose of confirming some of the ris-
ing generation. The pastor had rang
ed the brave band in a line and the
bishop, after asking few leading
questions, requested little girl to
state the definition Of matrimony.
And with hands folded, eyes half
closed, and generally modest mien,
the little one rapidly reeled off the
startling announcement that "matrl-
mony is a state of terrible torment
which those who enter it are compell-
ed to undergo as partial punishment
for their sins in order to prepare them
for a brighter and better world"
The pastor, who had taken great pains
to prepare his class was greatly annoy
ed at the blunder, and sharply said:
''No, no, Katie; that is not marriage
at all, that is purgatory." Leave
her alone, Father James," said the
bishop, with meaning smile leave
little Katie alone. What do you or
1 know about it?"
