PROVEMENT.
A New York millionaire prince

palatial residence on Fifth avenue,
every room of which was a triumph
of the architects, of the decorators S,
and of the upholsterer's art. l was
told that the decorations of a single
sleeping room had cost $4,000. On
the walls were paintings which cost
fabulous prices, and about the rooms
were pieces Of massive and costly fur
niture and draperies representing a
small fortune. and covering the floors
were carpets on which it seemed al
most sacrilege to tread. He had ex-
pended a fortune for physical pleas
ure, comfort. luxury and display, but
there was scarcely a book in the
house.
1t was pitiful to think of the physi-
cal surfeit and mental starvation of
the children of such a home as that.
He told me that he came to the city
a poor boy. with all his worldly pos
sessions done up in a little red BAN
dana. Il am a millionaire" he said,
but l want to tell you that l would

This kind of implement was in use for thou
sands of years afterward, and even now in Old
Mexico within hundred miles of the border
land of America the crooked stick is still used.
About hundred and fifty years ago a pillow
with a wooden mold board was devised, and this
held sway for fifty years, when some genius of
a blacksmith put iron edge on it, and it was
then thought that the perfection Of pillow making
had been reached. Then came the pillow with
the iron mold board and wooden frame. This
was followed by the allsteel pillow, which now
reigns supreme.
The aristocratic offspring of the all-steel pillow
is the disk, and this implement, in connection
with the plow itself, is doing such good work that
It does not possible that shall any
decided improvement in this instrument for some
time.
Good blowing depends as much upon the kind
of plow used as upon the who directs it. A
great many farmers have yet to learn that one
pillow will not do satisfactory work in all kinds
of soil and under all conditions.
Perhaps the best pillow to use is the one with
che chilled share and point. 1 think it is a mis-
take to use a pillow point that has to be con-
stantly renewed; for every time a blacksmith
tinkers with it he turns out a different kind of
plow and this Is one reason why there is so
much poor blowing done in this country. When
q gets pillow which does the work tn his
entire satisfaction ne should SUCK to It, and
never permit It's shape to be changed, If pos
sible With a soft point that has to be con-
stantly renewed this is not possible, and that is

Daniel Webster once essayed to be a plow-
maker. After years of deep thinking and expert
menting, he turned out a most wonderful nipple
ment. It was over twelve feet long, built Of
wood, with an iron point, and required four Jokes
of oxen to pull it. 1t turned a furrow eighteen
inches wide twelve inches deem. which reSeu-
