literature in school which prepared
students for the military college of

that the future army officers took very
little interest In belles-lettres and that
their principal occupation in class was
raising chaos.
Richepin's first lesson began amid
a storm of whistling and catcalls. But

commanded silence. 'Gentlemen," he
said. Il am not here because like it.

Pausanius, the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent to appre-

sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary Of temple. Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to
violate the sanctuary. the officers wall

SUCCESS IN DRY LAND FARMING
H. MEANS BETTER FARMING.

F. S. Cooley, superintendent Mon
tana Farmers institute: The "old-
timer" says dry land farming is a
fAlure EXCEPT in occasional good
years. This is chiefly because land
greed has led men to spread over
more territory. than they can till we'll.

Went. He was getting twelve to IF.
teen bushels of wheat per acre and
npt quite paying expenses on 1000
agrees of bench land. Three years ago
he didn't know whether his creditors
were going to let him go on or sell
him out. He got a Campbell's Soil
Culture Manual, studied it, bought
more horses and harrows and began
to follow its teachings. In 1907 he got
fifty bushels of winter wheat per acre
on 700 acres and" in 1908 he got forty
six bushels per acre of 800 acres, and
made $4,000 above expenses.

Books and Their Care.

Books on shelves may be seriously
injured il packed too tightly. When
quickly pulled out for use the top OF
the book is likely to come off. More
over the constant pressure, II too
great, will loosen the whole back In
time and the friction in putting upon
and taking from the shelf mars the
covers. On the other hand. a reason
able amount Of lateral pressure is
necessary. If placed on the shelves
too loosely the leaves tend TO open
and admit dust. dampness and conse-
nuent mldew. In The case Of heavy
volumes the weight Of the leaves will
be found resting on the shelves II the
books are placed too loosely. This is
likely to make the backs conca7e.
Badly painted shelves are another
source Of injury to books. Care should
be taken when paint or varnish Is used
that the surface is perfectly smooth,
hard and dry when the books are put
In place and that the surface will re-
main so during variation Of tempera-
ture or humidity.-House Beautiful.

nExercise and Rest"

What is the relation between eXer-
else and rest? Work is that at which
we must continue, whether interesting
or not, whether We are tired or not
It used to be thought that the prime
requisite Of rest was the use OF facul-
ties other than those involved in the
labor OF the day. But there is such n
thing as fatigue which goes deeper
than daily work. We can work so
hard as to become exlia,lsted-too ex-
hausted for any kind of work. Fer
haps this is viii fatigue. 1t is coming
to be regarded rs fundamentals true
that rest from such fatigue demands
continuity; that, for eSaHplc, four pc
RODS Of fifteen minutes cach Of rest IS
not the equivalent Of one hours rest;
that a man who goes on q vacation
and takes half an hour Of his business
work every day is doing the same
thing as the man who had a horse
with a sore back. He kept the saddle
on only a few minutes each day, but
the sore did not have chance to heal.
Rest periods must be sufficiently con-
secutire to overcome consecutive IA

An Anecdnte of PnnA.

There is an old anccdote OF AleXan-
der Pope concerning one Of the old
watermen who were employed for
many years in rowing Pope on the
Thames. Pope was in the habit OF
having his sedan chair lifted into the
punt II the weather was fine he let
down the glasses; # cold he pulled
them up. He would sometimes say to
the waterman:
John, / am going to repeat some
verses. Take care to remember them
the next time / so out"
When that time came Pope would
say:
John. where are the verses told
you off"
II have forgotten them, sir"
John, you are blockhead. must
write them down for you"
John said that no one thought OF
saying when speaking Of him. "Mr.
Pope" but that he was always called
mir. Alexander"

ChaerfuIness and Cholera.

A cheerful disposition is held by
some doctors to be the best protection
against cholera. When this disease
first visited Paris in 1882 notice was
issued advising the inhabitants TO
avoid as far as possible all occasions
of melancholy and all painful emo
lions and to seek plenty Of distractions
and amusements. Those with bright
and happy temperament are not likely
to be stricken down" This advice was
largely followed. and even when chol-
era was claiming over thousand
weekly VICTIMS the theaters and cafes
were thronged. The epidemic was In
some quarters treated as 8, huge joke.
and plays and songs were written
around it. Rochefort wrote a play,
lie Cholera Morbus," which proved
big success, and another production
on the same lines, "Paris-malade," also
had a long run.--London Chronicle.

An Indians Joke.

Indians extract no little quiet enjoy
ment from what seem to them to be
oddities in the speech. manners and
customs of white people. An Arapa-
hoe stepped into the store Of trader
one day to purchase some tobacco.
The traders son was in charge of the
place. Now. this son was at that en-
barrassing stage of growth. when the
voice is changing. so that be never
could tell whether tenor tones would
issue from his lips or babylike fal-
setto or de profundis bass. On this
occasion when the Indian asked for
tobacco the youths bass notes held the
right of way, though they were speed
ily followed by ascending tones up to
a squeaky falsetto.
he asked the Indian. Twill you have
fine cut tobacco or plug?" beginning
In a growl and ending in birdllke So
prano.
The Arapahoc listened gravely to this
vocal variety and then without a smile
reversed the process and. beginning
with the youths highest note and end
ing with his lowest, scaled, i think
I'll take some plug."-Southern Work
