What a Meter Is.

The scientific unit of length is the
meter, and II was originally designed
to be natural standard to replace the
perfectly arbitrary yard" 1t was in
tended to be exactly one-ten-millionth
part of the earths quadrant, and was
at first accepted aA such. More care
full and accurate Measurement OF the
quadrant, however, showed that the
meter was not actually this fraction
of its length. AS Sir David Gill points
out, therefore, the standard of length
cannot be scientifically described
otherwise than as "a piece of metal
whose length at 0 degree G. at the
epoch A. d. 1906 Is equal to 1858, 164
times the wave-length Of the red line
Of the spectrum of cadmium when the
latter is observed in dry air at the
temperature of IS degrees c. Of the
normal hydrogen-scale ~ q pressure
Of 760mm. of mercury at degree c."

From An Old Arithmetic.

These quotations are from a Lon
don arithmetic of the year 1885:
A man overtaking maid driving
a flock of geese, said to her: How
DO you do, sweetheart? Where are
you going with these thirty geese?"
No sir sir, . she said, Il have moi thirty
but if I had as many more, half as
many more, and five geese besides,
should have thirty"
A, B, and c, playing at hazard to-
gether, the money staked was 1876
guineas; but, disagreeing, each seized
as many as he could. A got certain
number; B as many as A and sixteen
more, and c the sixth part of both
their sums. How many had each?
A gentleman going into a garden
meets with some ladies, and says to
them: Good morning to you ten fair
maids" Sir, you mistake" answered
one of them. 1--WE are not ten, but if
we were twice as many more as we
are, we should be as many above ten
as we are now under" How many
were there?
a man bought a horse, and by
agreement was to give farthing for
the first nail, three for the second, &C.
There were four shoes, and in each
shoe eight nails. What was the price
of the horse? Answer: &9,651,114,-

PAanor TAueHT soY spANIaN
Hut Of the Kind That Is Not Used N
Polite Society,"

William Bush. resident OF West
Caldwell, has decided not to open
correspondence school for teaching
foreign languages by trained parrots
Instead Of talking machines. The
higher education as applied to hard
working farmers on the study-at-home
on the poll parrot plan is not al It is
said to be. he now believes, and this
is why:
William Bush has son who was
graduated from the distric. school re-
Gently. He wants 70 learn Spanish.
He tried talking machines by CORE
spondence schools, but he was not
satisfied with the results One day
man brought a large parrot around for
sale. 1t could speak the Spanish
language perfectly.
Bush thought this a grand oppor.
tunity and bought the bird. Soon the
family was able to speak Spanish, or
a generous portion Of It, Another par
rot was purchased, and it, too, soon
learned Spanish and the two birds
jabbered back and forth nearly the
entire day.
A local preacher is the cause of
Bush's change of plans. The minister
knows little Spanish, and the other
day he called at the Bush home. He
did not stay long. for when, in re-
Spouse to his request to hear how
William was progressing with his
Spanish, he heard choice flow of pro-
family in the native tongue Of Christie
pher Columbus he decided it was time
for him to go. The minister looked
Mortified when he saw the serene
smile of pride and satisfaction upon
the faces of the mother and four sis
tiers as he made hasty excuses and
departed
An expert linguist, when called in,
condemned the language as taught by
the parrots as not being suitable for
polite society, and recommended that
the birds be sold.
Both birds went to-day, the pro-
ceeds going TO the church fund for
foreign missions.--Caldwell in the
New York Tribune.

OPPOSED TO LOCAL PROGRESS.
Journals That Help to Concentrate
Business in Large Cities.

There are thousands of so-called ag-
ricultural papers published in the
United States, all of more or less
merit Yet few are all that they should
be- There is an inconsistency about
them that invites careful study. While
ley are supposed to represent the
best interests of the great class Of
workers whom they gain support from
in the way of subscriptions, the ma
jority of them apparently work against
the progress Of farming communities
by becoming the mediums, part of
the machinery, which draws from
country towns the support which they
should have.
1t is to be regretted that many of
these so-called agricultural papers are
merely published for the purpose of
circulating the advertisements of con.
Germs which seek to secure trade from
residents of farming districts to the
detriment of the home towns. These
establishments take money from the
rural communities to the large fnan.
cial centers. The thoughtful man or
woman can see how injurious il
is to the interests of the farmers to
take away the surplus earnings which
represent the wealth of the commu.
nifty. 1t requires but little observa.
ton and study to understand that to
a great extent farm values are de.
pendent upon the importance of the
nearby town, and that any system
that takes away its business, will re.
suit in a decrease of farm values
Such papers as advise the farmers to
patronize other than home institutions
and which advocate systems that are
opposed TO the up-building of indus.
tries in agricultural districts arc not
worthy of support.

He Chances Are Best IN His Home
Town Rather Than in The Sic City.

My boy, the farm is all right Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too marrow for you. It's life too
much Of humdrum. and that you
would prefer to be one of the residents
Of the big city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands OF 9TH
ers just like you. and with just such
ideas They have started from the
farm buoyant with hope. and after
years have regretted their youthful
resolutions. Others have succeeded;
have won laurels in the professional
field. in business, in craftsmanship;
but the few who have succeeded thus
are so small in number compared to
the army of failures that there is lit
tie encouragement for the careful
thinker to leave that which promises
security from want and independence
for life time. The farmer is surely
the most Independent of all workers.
He is sure to receive a greater re-
ward for his labors, is his own man
ager, and if he win strive diligently
can aspire to place in the public es-
innate that few can attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when you
think there is almost an unbearable
dullness about existence on the farm.
Were you resident of the city. there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours of work may
be long riding the plow. or harvesting
the grain, but far superior is the work
than that the great majority of the
city youths are compelled to follow.
and how much greater the compensa-
ton? How would you like to stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning to night for the
small wages that the city clerk re-
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is mere subsistence,
and a constant struggle. The best
years of life are wasted in making
money for others, while the indus
trious farmer is working for himself,
saving money year after year, and
when the time for rest comes it en-
ables him to take it.
Cities are overcrowded with clerk
help. An advertisement inserted in
any daily paper for clerk to fill any
position will bring hundreds of re-
sponses. The array of unemployed
and those seeking to better their con-
ditions is always large. Of late years
a large element of workers from cit
les are looking toward the farms for
They realize that the
farm offers more permanency of occu-
patton and greater independence than
like efforts in the city can possibly
afford. Before you concentrate your
on employment in city or
town, weigh every matter well, and
then act according to what reason die |
tates. You will be very likely to con-
clude that the farm is a good enough |
place for you, and that your own lit
tie home town is preferable to the |
over-crowded city. Remember that |
your greatest interests center in
what you call your home town Do |
all you can to assist in it's improve |
ment, and make it a better business
place. D. NJ. CARR
