Loubet Surprised constans.

In spite of his imperturba bi1ity M. Constans admitted that one man had succeeded in astonishing him. Emile Loubet, afterward president of the re- public, did this.
 When I left the ministry of the in terior,'' said M. Constans in telling the story, q handed over to my sue cessor the key of the safe containing the secret servake money. It was then the beginning of March, and had a nice little sum, more than million, in bundles of 10000 francs. M. Loubet did a thing which should not have be- heved possible"
 Here M Constans stopped and asked:
 Do you know what he did?''
 Some one ventured guess.
 Not at all,'' resumed M. Constans. t'M. Loubet signed me a receipt for the sum without even opening the safe to see if it was there. ."-P hiladelphia Press.

Just seina Human.

Whatever else may be ashamed of, let me not be ashamed of being hu- man. I may well blush for my little store of Knowledge, for it might have been greater, and for my imperfect wisdom, whiclSNnight have been sound CT; for my sins, that might have been fewer and for my righteousness. which is paltry enough. For excesses, lacks and want of balance I may, be justly blamed, but for any genuine hu- man feeling I have no right to hang my head. So I dare say frankly that I love to eat and to drink, love wo- man and the child, love my slippered ease and a chat with good company, I love adventure and the shining sail, love a rousing book, a clever play and a fair fight. And whatever pride or joy is built upon the contempt of others, I hate. The best part of the heritage the twentieth century brings me is the privilege of being wholly human and not ashamed of 1t-Dr Frank Crane in Woman's World.

'Romaace of a oainsbo~ouasa.

A great dealer, now dead, once told me that sAuntering into an auction room he observed the portrait of a boy in a hat, ascrihed to Gainsborough. He had that power of eye which can pierce through superposed paint, and, looking deep down into that picture, he felt certain that the hat was an addf t1on and the boy a girl. He bought the portrait for song, to find that his dream had come true. It was a true Gainsborough, and the likeness of g beautif1r1 girl What had probably happened brings a drama before us. Some old Squire Western had dis1n~ herited an efoping daughter, had pull ed the Gainsborough down and sent it to a country dauber for transforms ton. Dash his wig and buttons ionly the oath was worseJ if he would ever look on the undutiful, ungrate- ful baggage again. The picture had cost good money and must be kept, though bad she had proved. It should be a boy.-wa1ter. Sichel in T. P.'s

Going. Upstairs Backward.

Walking upstairs backward is urged by a@London physician as a useful practice in cases of heart weakness and as helping in a mere equal distr- button of muscular wear and tear.
 : Firstly and most important" he says, walking upstairs backward would prevent any tendency to hurry. No matter how inveterate a stair rush a man might be, he would have to moderate his pace if going backward. This enforced ,deliberation would, of course, be of great value in heart dis ease. The second effect would be to relieve the strain from the ordinary walking and climbing muscles (those on the front of the thigh and to press into service those on the back of the leg, which ordinarily do no work in climbing stairs. The total result, therefore, might be a saving in muscu- lar wear and tear through a more eco nom1cal distribution of effort. This, of course, would also belof value in cases of heart weakness. ss.''-London Mall.

RATS DESTROY SIXTY BUSHELS OF POTATOES
 IN STAMFORD TOWN
Chicken Thieves Active Again-Suit Brought Against Tooley Estate By
 the Bridgeport Hospital.
Special to The Farmer.)

H0PSC1d1 lie l Stratford, Aug. 22.-As a result of
 rats getting into his potato field and gnaw1ng holes in almost every tuber in the acre and a half of ground, John Corsa of North Main street is out about bushels of fine potatoes with no way of being reimbursed for his loss. This seems to be the frst oc- currence of it's kind in the potato blight line that ever struck Stratford. Farm CTS have had their potatoes rot on them or have had them destroyed by bugs pests of a like nature, but habttant has a man lost practically his entire crop as a result of rats getting into his field.
 CHICKEN THIEVES.
 Chicken thieves continue to annoy the people of Stratford and within the past week Samuel Patterson's hen roose on Patterson avenue was visit ed. A number of fowls were stolen and MT. Patterson Is inclined to a be- lief that a band of gypEtes that were camping near his place was responsi- ble. He advised selectman Holmes of the thefts as well as the presence of the gypsies and requested that the se- lectman take steps to have the gyp- s1es decamp. Selectman Holmes in turn notified Deputy Sheriff Russell, who at once got after the gypsies They disclaimed all knowledge of the thefts and persisted in declaring their innocence, but on the order of Sheriff Russell left town the morning follow ing MT. Patterson has since been re- lieved of his poultry, an evidence that the gypsies were not the real culprits
 He was not aware evidently that they had been moved on, for on "Wednesday he got in touch with the deputy and wanted to learn why the order to move on had not been given. Investigation proved that the gypsies had kept to their promise and loft the locality and town early the following day, after the ksheriff,s visit
