GOOD ENGLISH IN DISUSE.

About one-half the good English words have been lost to this generation through the failure of the schools to in struct the rising generation in the ordi- nary use of the mother tongue, says the New York Mail. Inside the office window the other day the oldest man in the bunch used the verb "to cOsset." '" and not another man present knew what it meant. Not one knew what a "Cossct" is, And yet there was the word in all the dictionaries; Cosset, a pet orphan lamb; to cosset, to nourish and bring up in an artificial way. The next unintelligible phrase which the el- derly man used was "a democrat wa gon." Nobody knew what a democrat wagon is or was. This time the elder ly citizen was too cOntemptuous of the ignorance of his office mates to explain the meaning of the term Anybody who does not know what kind of a wagon a democratic wagon iS is unworthy to be enlightened. It is getting so that the talk of any man who is past the age of forty years requires a glossary if it is to be understood by the younger gen eratiOn.

ALIvING FROM THREE ACRES.

There are few people who are able to make a good living from so small an amount of land as is Oliver R. Shearer. who lives at Hyde Park, suburb of Reading, Pa. MT. Shearer is two and one-half miles from the heart of the city. and raises vegetables and poultry.
 His farm consists of a trifle over three acres, but there are only about two and one-half acres that are under actual cultivation. little mountain stream tore one corner of the place to pieces so badly that it cannot be culit- vated.
 The little farm produces about 10000 head of celery, 300 to 500 tomato plonts. and anywhere from 5000 to 1000 each of lettuce, endive and beets. From five to ten bushels of onion seeds are usu ally planted each year and yield q bountiful crop-Suburban Life.

INTELLIGENCE IN DOGS.

One man would have it that a collie is the most sagacious of dogs, while the other stood up for the setter.
 'I once owned a setter" declared the latter, which was very intelligent had him on the street one day and he acted so queerly about a certain man We met that I asked the man his name and"
 "Oh. that's an old story" the collie advocate broke in sneeringly. "The mans name was Partridge. of course, and because of that the dog came to a set Hoi Ho, Come again."
 You're mistaken" replied the other. suavely. "The dog didn't come quite to set, though almost. As matter of fact, the mans name was Quayle. and the dog hesitated on account of the spelling"
