City Men Needed on the Farm.

In many notable instances city men
are succeeding as farmers. II they do
not know all about raising grain and
handling live stock, they are able, as a
rule. to apply business methods to
their undertakings.
Successful farm management must
include knowledge Of buying and
selling. In this particular the city man
is apt to be ahead Of his rural neigh.
Dor. It is essential to know what con.
,sumers require, what the usual retail
prices are on farm commodities, and
tho facilities available for transporting
and selling. The man Of city expert
ence understands these things, and he
goes In for line Of produce like
onions, beans, potatoes, ducks, chick
ems and carnations and asters, on
which he gets big profits.
Il would not be like city man to
raise wheat at seventy.five cents q
bushel and twenty bushels to the acre
when he can get ninety cents bushel
for onions and ESQ bushels to thu
acre. This illustrates the whole idea,
and no truth is more striking than the
fact that city men are needed in agri
culture.-From g. G. Bowsfleld's MAX

Kingsley Once Woman suffraelst.
An early supporter Of the woman
suffragist movement was Charles
Kingsley, who. with John Stuart Mill,
in 1869, attended the first woman's sui.

following year, however, Kingsley
withdrew from the movement. In the
course Of a letter written to Mil,
who asked his reasons, Kingsley
wrote: II am panied, in very large

MUST BE HANDLED TENDERLY
Violin and VIoIonceIIo Both Extremely
Sensitive to Changing Atmos-
pherIo Conditions.

The violin and violoncello are most
sensitive to atmospheric conditions
and suffer from atmospheric varia,
tons quite as much as the tender 70
cal cords of the singer.
Those who have attempted to make
the violin an ornament by hanging II
upon the wall have had reason to re-.
pent taking such a liberty. The VIC
lin loses it's varnish and gradually its
pitch and timbre. The artificial heat OF
rooms in winter makes its tone rau
cous when 1t does not obliterate 1t en-
tfrely.
Metal cases, morocco covered, are
equally unfit for 1t. A strong. well
vanished wooden case. even though
1t be not especially attractive to the
eye, suits the susceptibilities of the
violin much better. Certain qualities.
sometimes unsupported in the wood.
play an important part in the falsifl.
cation Of notes. causing progressive
deterioration.
There was a time when manufacture
ers applied to their product several
coats Of paint. g., a concentrated
solution Of bichromate Of sodium pot.
ash in boiling water. The wood soon
acquired yellow tone. and under the
action Of lights after drying, the color
darkened and took on the aspect Of
the very old paint.
For commercial purposes this waa
all very we'll. but what happened to
the purchaser was that as soon as he
began to use his instrument exposed
to the light the bichromate worked on
the gelatin which the manufacturers
employed to color the wood and pre-.
vented the penetrating Of the varnish.
while some element in the bichromate
Of soda was converted into stone. The
violin suffered petriflcation, which i'm.
peded it's tones and rendered It use
less.-Harper's Weekly.

WHEN LIBBY SMILED
Il Was When She and viii II,
Dor Made Up
Again.
eY e, r. MOON.

We all looked upon Libby Arliss %
an old maid, absurdly old, although
her age could not have been moro
than thirty-five. But after her mother
died she ceased to 60 about much in
our village society; and by the time
she was out Of mourning she had set
tied down into lonely life in her lit.
tie home. She had fine garden. and
We boys and girls used to steal her
pears and mock at her when she came
out and threatened us.
I'D like to get even with Miss Libby
for being SO mad about our taking her
wormy old pears" said Steve Marks,
the bad boy" Of the village.
None of US liked Libby. She was
certainly as sour as those early Bart
let's that we used to take with the
more gusto because we knew that our
discovery would let loose a storm Of
imprecation on our heads. That was
how we came to concoct the love let
ter.
Why We hit upon William Tabor
can't quite remember. The Tabors
had once been the most respected
family In our village, but William was
wild when he was a young man and
went West, returning broken down in
health, year or two before. I think
some one suggested that he had been
Libby's beau long before, when she
was pretty girl In the wide-sleeved
gowns then In fashion. and did her
plentiful hair in jar handle. But
since he had come back he had never,
to our knowledge, visited at Libby's
house. and If he had done so village
gossip would certainly have found 1t
out.
Three Of the high school scholars
conoocted the letter. It ran like this:
My Dearest William:
May I-dare I. one whom the world
calls sour old maid. avow to you
something against which l have fought
for many months in vain? William,
love you! There, have avowed it.

CROP WATCHERS IN CHINA
Guards In Towers, Who Protect
Growing Grain From Depreda.
tions by Thieves.

In China the fields are not protect
ed by hedges or fences; the country
lies quite open and is everywhere cas-
lily accessible. This is not to be in
terpreted as an indication of the pc
culiar honesty Of the people or Of
their exceptional respect for their
neighbors' property.
AS a matter of fact, thieving
ebounds. Large numbers of the peo-
pie are very poor, and this class in or
der to subsist have frequent recourse
to stealing. AS the time of harvest
approaches and the fruits and cereals
are ripening orchards and fields are
never safe from the unwelcome vista
tions Of predatory bands. The farm
er knows this, and hence everybody
Is obliged to stand guard over every
thing. Almost every field has its
watch tower, says writer in the
Wide World Magazine, and these frail
tenements are never deserted, night
or day, until the harvest has been
fully reaped.
In some districts crop watching so.
cieties' exist, whose sole business is
to provide professional crop watch
ers" where and whenever they may
be required. Fields Of kaoliang, or gi-
ant millet, are watched by profess
sional crop watcher" This stall.
wart plant grows to height of ten
to fifteen feet, and a field of it is a
veritable jungle for density and i'm.
penetrability. This accounts for the
height Of the watch tower-a light
wooden structure.
The watcher must, IL his vigil is to
be Of any use, be higher than the
crops he Is looking after. Even so, 1t
is difficult to detect the thieves, they
are so effectively hidden by the tall
and dense growth of the kaoliang.
The object Of the thieves is to pos.
sess themselves of the millet heads of
the plants, and this they can very
easily accomplish. All that is nee
essary is a sharp knife and quick
hand.

TRUTH ABOUT WALL STREET

We dropped these epistles into the

didn't know whom to watch, but final

William who would go to Libby and
not Libby who would visit William.

Despite his five and forty years the

young woman at the recollection Of his
faux pas. The Professor was as exact

that his heart was as dry. But any

satisfactory assistant. Men had come
and gone; but, until Miss Marston an.
