The Earl Of Leicester who died re-
Gently, was known as the FIRST farmer
of England" On the great estates
which he inherited from his father
were first introduced methods Of scien-
tific farming which have greatly bene-
fited English agriculture They include
the four-course rotation In crops, tur-
nips, barley, clover, wheat and the live
stock shows. The earl was interesting
not only as farmer, but as an exam
pie of longevity in a long-lived family.
No less than one hundred and f1fty-
seven years separated the birth of the
father and the death of the son, and
the son married his second wife one
hundred years after the father married
his first. The father OF the earl who
has recently died headed deputation
from Norfolk to urge George III to ac-
knowledge the independence of the
American colonies. He died at the age
of ninety, the son at the age of eighty
seven.

The favorite question with the
school committeeman of olden time
was, we are told, what Is the
heavier, pound Of feathers or a
pound of leadY The first rash an
swer used almost always to be, "a
pound Of lead" Then, Of course, from
the older pupils would come the re-
ply, Both alike"
If this question were asked to-day
the old-time Querist might receive u
decided surprise, for the pound of
feathers could easily be proved to be
the heavier. A single experiment is
all the evidence needed.
With any accurate scales weigh out
a pound of lead, using ordinary shot
for convenience. Pour the shot into
one Of the pans of a balance. For the
feathers, a light muslin bag will be
needed, and care must be taken that
feathers and bag together do not weigh
more than pound. When the bag
Of feathers is put into the other pan
Of the balance, the beam will, after
a few oscillations, come to rest exact
ly level.
80 far the verdict Both alike
seems to be proved. But place the
balance on the receiver Of an air
pump, with lead and feathers undls.
turbed. Cover the whole with the
glass bell jar, and exhaust the air
Slowly the feathers sink, and the lead
kicks the beam. The pound Of feath.
ers is heavier than the pound of lead.
The truth Is that what we call q
pound was not such In fact; for Che

The Cleveland Leader tells good
story, Illustrative Of business success,
about a Swedish miner in the West
who was noted for always striking pay

must be some secret to this unusual
success, and questioned him as to how

where the gold cropped out. "vell, Ay
