YANKEES MAKE MAcHIN.
ERY DO THE WORK.

1t used to be said that the people
of the South were lazy. Now 1t is
coming to be recognized that we have
been troubled more with lazy brains
than lazy muscles. The farmers OF
the North don't work any harder than
we do. In fact they don't work SO
hard-as anybody knows who has seen
them cultivating their corn In July
Away they go sitting on riding cult
vators, while the Southern farmer
having only one horse and therefore
going twice as often to the row, walks
twice as far as the Northern farmer
rides.
The whole case is pretty well stated
as follows by Bion Butler, who lived
in Pennsylvania before he came to a
Southern farm:
( 1T has been preached so long that
some folks believe 1t, that the Yankee
is an industrious, hustling fellow, and
the Southern man is inclined to be
lazy and Indifferent. That is all
wrong. The Yankee is the LATEST
man on earth, and you know | know
the whole tribe. You never see a
Massachusetts man do anything that
he can get machinery to do for him.
He will work patiently and persistent
ly to build a machine to do anything
that he finds needs to be done. He
must have a riding pillow, a potato dig
ger, wood saw, churn that runs
with a gasoline engine, machine to
milk the COW, machine to write with.
machine to figure with, machine
to do everything with.
THAT is why the North made faster
progress than the South. When the
civil war came 1t was not the negro
the abolitionist emancipated. 1t was
the white men and women OF the
South. The Northern man was quick
er to see that slave labor was an In
cubus and he lodged 1t long before
the South awakened to that fact. The
Northern man was lucky enough to
see that a machine Is better slave
than man ever can be, so the North
ern man invented machinery and sold
his slaves to the people south of the
Pennsylvania boundary"
Mr.. Buffers statement is worth re-
membering. 1t stands to reason that
1t is cheaper to get work done by ma
chimes than by folks because folks
have to be fed and clothed and housed,
and machines only need housing-and
only enough OF that to keep the rain
off.
We must copy the Massachusetts,
idea and make machinery do the
work."-The Progressive Farmer.

THIS FISH A GREAT WALKER
II His Pond Goes Dry He Simply Am
bIes Across the Country
to Another.

Droughts have no terrors for the
climbing perch. If the pool or river
where he makes his home becomes
dry, he climbs up the banks and
starts across country to find a wet
place. This ability to travel led to
a belief, once common, that the fish
could climb trees, whence he got his
name-climbing perch.
He walks with the aid of his fins,
virtually wriggling his way along. II
he strikes a place grown up with
grass or herbs, he uses his pectora
fins, which are the ones on either
side, Just behind the gills. He hooks
one of these fins around a blade Of
grass and pulls himself forward.
Not much speed, but the climbing
perch usually gets there. AS for his
ability to climb trees, stories have
come from India and the East Indies
to the effect that the fish has been
known to ascend cocoanut palms to
drink the milk from the cocoanut.
Naturalists have little faith in these
stories, however.

Lobster a stunted Species.

Portland's fishing vessels recently
brought back from a trip a lobster
which in comparison with the present
lobster of commerce is what the pre-
historic behemoth or megatherium
was to the average circus elephant OF
today, the Portland Argus says. In
size and weight that father of all lob
sters would equal dozen or fifteen
of the crustaceans which are now
brought to market-and not brought
very plentiful at that.
Fifty years ago Holsters that
weighed from five to ten pounds were
vended on the streets and were as
common as clans, mackerel or any
other kind of sea food. A man going
home from work could, for ten or
fifteen cents, buy a big. full meated
fellow that would furnish a supper
for a whole family.
But Holsters are not the only prod
uct Of the sea that has dwindled to
an insignificant size, and risen to
uncomfortable price since those hap
by days. The ocean has been strained
to yield up every kind of fish larger
than "minnies," and the toothed clam
rakes to get every little baby bivalve
resting in its submarine cradle Of the
deep.

HAD FIeUReHeADs OF BEAUTY
In the Days Of Sails, Ships Carried
Some Really Remarkable speei-
mems Of Carving.

An almost forgotten profession is
that Of ship carving. For many CEN
turtles, down to the beginning Of the
nineteenth, the ornamentation Of YES
sells, especially men-ofwar, was pro-
fuse, intricate and florid. The cary
ing on the United States line-of-battle
ship America, launched in 1882 and
presented to France, will give some
idea of the extent to which this was
carried
The figurehead was female figure
crowned with laurel, representing
America. The right arm was raised,
pointing upward. On the left arm was
a buckler with a blue ground carrying
10 stars. On the stern of the ship
under the cabin windows appeared two
large figures in bas-relief representing
Tyranny" and Oppression" bound
and bleeding on the ground. On the
back Of the starboard quarter was a
large figure of Mars" On the highest
part of the stern appeared Wisdom
and above her head an OWL
Philadelphia furnished not only the
greatest ship designer in the United
States, but also the best ship carver in
the world William Rush. In this field
he was without a rival, and to a won
derful technical skill he added an ar
tistic sense of beauty and genius for
composition.
Rush was the first carver to give an
idea of life and motion to a ships fig
urehead. Each of his fgureheads was
either the lifelike representation of a
person or some symbolic conception
expressed in exquisite carving. His
most noted productions were Mature"
for the Constellation, "The Genius of
the United States" for the frigate Of
that name and "Thc River God" for
the East India ship Gauges. These fig
ureheads were nine feet high and
could be removed for repair or in &C
ton.
