Pope Leo is credited with hav
ing administered a most appropriate
rebuke upon a presuming visionary
vvLo, pretended to have discovered
tbe' philosopher's stone and de
manded a recompense therefor. His
holiness presented the discoverer
with,an empty purse. "The true
posscBsof of the philosopher's stone,"
•aid the pope, "is the miner, whose
iron, copper or tin are always con
vertible into more precious metals.
Agriculture it the noblest of all
alchemy, for it turns the common
earth into gold and confers upon its
cultivator the additional reward of
health.
The reaction against corruption,
graft and boodle seems to have set
in very strongly. It is at work in
Connecticut and Rhode Island. In
Indiana the outcry against the lobby
is most significant. Delaware is
still fighting bravely against Ad
dicks, apparently with a good chance
pf again defeating him. The ad
ministration is going after the land
thieves with commendable vigor.
Even in Pennsylvania the attempts
of Governor Pennypacker and his
machine to muzzle the press show
that criticism is having its effect
even on men supposed to be pachy
dermatous. Under the leadership of
Folk and, the reform forces much
may be see mplished in Missouri.
We have begun our house-cleaning,
none to soon. Now that we have
begun it, we should not stop till we
have raised public life to a' greatly
higher level.—Indianapolis News.
Arthur Simmons, the negro door
keeper and messenger at the white
house, has held that position for
forty-two years, serving under ten
presidents and being one of the
government's most faithful employes.
He was born a slave in North Caro
lina, ran away to Washington at the
outbreak pf the civil war and man
aged to get an interview with Lin
coln, who appointed him doorkeeper.
It was to Simmons that President
Grant offered his famous threat:
"Do you see that man?" pointing to
an importunate and persistent office
seeker who had bothered General
Grant to the point of distraction.
"Yes," replied Simmons. "Well,
that man is after your job. The
next time you let him in here I'm
going to give it to him." Needless
to say the officesfieker never secured
another interview with thtf president.
^-1 Don^ Oolt'ijast For Ifow."
Many young people form habits
which cripple and handicap them
for life by doing things "just for
now." Tney let things drop wher
ever they happen to be "just for
now," thinking that they will put
the book, the tool, the letter, or the
article of clothing, later, where it
belongs.
When these young people grow
up to manhood and womanhood,
they find that the habit of putting
thiggs down anywhere, "just for
now', has become a tyrant that fills
their lives with confusion and dis
order.
It takes no more time or effort to
put a.thing where it belongs, in the
first place, than it does later,—per
haps less and the chances are that,
if you do not do it at the proper
time, vou never will.
Even if it costs you a little in
convenience, at the moment, to put
everything in its proper place, to do
everything at the proper time, the
orderly and methodical habits which
you cultivate in this way will in
crease your power, and usefulness a
hundredfold, and may save much
trouble and mortification in tbe
future.—American Adviser. ,t
Who Pays the Tax.
In reading the tariff discussion
now waxing hot again in England,
an American is struck by the ap
pearance in the old country oif the
delusionB, sophistries and "scare
crows" that have so long done duty
here. Thus Mr. Chamberlain in. a
recent speech argued that his pro
posed duties on food products would
be "paid by the foreigner aa a toll
for entering the British market."
The reformers' answer to the
same claim of our high-tariff men
was this: If "the foreigner pays
the tax," why have any internal
revenue taxes? Why practice
economy, Why not make the for
eigners pay toll enough for entering
our market to support the Govern
ment, build the biggest navy afloat,
improve all our rivers and harbors
and erect a fine public building in
every town that can boast of being
the home of a Congressman?
But an Englishman of an inquir
ing turn of mind,' being in New
York, put this iridescent theory to
a practical test. He compared the
price-list of one of our leading
grocery houses with the prices ob
taining in London concerna of equal
standing. On twelvq specified
articles of domestic use made in
England the price was 32 per cent,
higher here—just about the average
duty. For ten American products—
canned goods, preserves, dried
fruits, 4c.—the consumer in New
York actually pays 10 per cent,
more than the consumer of the same
goods in Londun. On eighteen
table and household articles im
ported from other countries into
both England and America the New
York prices was 30 per cent, higher
than that quoted in London.
The conclusion of the investigator
—Mr. E. H. Gilpin, writing to the
Spectator—is that "the tarriff does
indeed exact a heavv toll, but it is
from the consumer.''—N. Y. World.

It takes a hard Mow nt the pocket
book, such as a crop failure, to slimv
Bome people the advantages ot di
versified fnrining Every poor
wheat year has been followed by
greater attention to other crops in
the localities'where the failure was
most felt. These experiences have
taught the farmers that wheat land
will do splendidly for other things
besides wheat and that some of the
other crops bring more reliable re
turns.—American Farmer.
Potatoes are a profitable crop
when sold at 25 or 30 centB a buBhel.
Ail acre pf ordinary ground will
yield a farmer more money in po
tatoes at 25 CQnts a bushel than any
other crop he can put on the acre—
tobacco excepted. It is an oft-re
peated saying that potatoes will
bring a farmer as high as 25. cents
a bushel when fed to stock. This
is a pipe dream. One bushel of
potatoes must put five pounds of
flesh on a hog to do this, and one
bushel of potatoes will not increase
a hog's weight even three pounds—
American Farmer.
"Be careful of creamery sharks"
says the Farmers' Tribune, "that
are often inclined to induce far
mers to organize co-operate
creameries, olieii before enough
cows can be secured in a neighbor
hood to properly maintain a cream
ery. Furthermore, in many in
stances they have sold farmers
creamery supplies at a cost far
above their normal market value.
This they rre able to do for the rea
son that farmers as a rule are not
on prices. Therefore our
advice in instances of this kind is to
write for information either to the
experiment station of your Btate, to
the dairy commissioner, or to your
agricultural paper and ascertain
definitely what it ought to cost -to
build a creamery such as you de
sire. In other words it does not
pay,t6 buy a pig in'the bag."
The experiment at the Maine Ag
ricultural College, which in a series
of years produced a strain of hens
that lay over two hundred eggs a
year, or double the product of ordi
nary hens, cost a little money, but
the Tesults are calculated to add
materially to the national wealth.
The total cost was less than the cost
of one 12-inch cannon, less than the
cost of transporting one regiment of
soldiers from San Francisco to the
Philippines, The money expended
in building a new fort would pro
duce a similar breed of hens in every
state in the union. Think what it
would mean to double the egg pro
duction of the United States. They
already lay 1,667,000,000 dozens of
eggs, er enough in a single month
during spring to pay a year's in
terest on the national debt. All of
which goes to show that if the money
wasted on arsenals and forts, army
poBts, battleship- and other agencies
of barbarous war, were devoted to
agriculture in its various branches,
poverty and want might be prac
tically abolished and the happiness
of the human race immeasurably in
creased.—American Farmer.
Care of Poaltry Houses in Winter.
A great deal of difference of opin
ion has lately been expressed through
the poultry journals about warm as
against cold poultry houses. By
warm houses we do not take it that
a house as warm at a dwelling is
meant or that a cold house is one
that is frigidly cold. The latest
conclusion backed up by some ex
perimental work is that the houses
ought to be reasonably cold.
We have been watching this dis
cussion and taking some of our own
experience along this line into con
sideration, we have become rather
favorable to the moderately cold
house, When houses are kept warm
there is
BO
much danger of troubles
that come by dampness. We have
been in houses where the water was
trickling down the walls and the
very litter was damp.
In the care of poultry honses in
winter it is necessary to keep the at
mosphere sweet and clean and not
spend so much time in keeping it
warm. If it is warm enough to pre
vent the combB from freezing it may
be considered better than when
there iBa surplus of moisture reeking
on the walls. It would not be far
wrong fcr poultry properly cared lor
to endure a temperature about the
freezing point. At. this point combs
would not freeze and the drinking
water would not freeze.
The proper treatment consists in
giving the poultry plenty of exercise
and they will not notice any cold.
If given nothing to do they will be
uncomfortable in a low temperature.
We like to have a cold seratching
room where the fowls can go in the
daytime, and we take occasion at
that time to open up the roosting
quarters to admit plenty of fresh
air. The droppings are taken away
at least twice per week in winter,
and in the nicest weather oftener
and about noon or during the warm
est part of the day the door is left
open for admission of fresh air.
When the house has been cleaned
wm.
out with a Bupply of fresh litter, the
door is closed and the fowls given
access to it again. This means of
ventilation we have found better
than any other. By keeping
the droppings removed no bad
odors can come and the freshness
obtained each day will be beneficial.
We keep plenty of litter on the
floors of both roosting room and
scratching apartment.—Homestead.

A GIRL'S NATURE.
Uttle Sim That, It la Said, BavMl
Phaae. of Character.
Much of a girl's nature Is betrayed
by tlio little act of brushing a speck
oft a man's coat If slie picks off th«
thread or Imaginary bit of lint very
carefully bet\Voen the thumb and fore
finger it is an indisputable sign that
she Is a woman of a very practical anA
executive character.
On the other hand, if a girl should
brush the cont lapel of her fiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third Ongcr of her hand In her en
deavor to remove an Invisible speck It
Is a Snrc sign that she Is more senti
mental than practical. The man who
marries her will live in a continual at
mosphere of romance and bad house
keeping.
There Is still another type of girl
who will brush the speck off a man's
coat with a broad sweep of the hand
in which all the fingers and thnmb play
a part. She Is In all probability an
athletic girl who excels at tennis, golf
and the links and who will prove a
high spirited, strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then, again, the girl who puts a
flower In a man's coat with her hand
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and- thte flower held In the tips of htr
fingers' is sure to be something of a
coquette, while the maid who gives
you only the tips of her fingers when
she greets you in the drawing room or
public street is probably an ambitton
girl.—Chicago Journal.
BATHING AND HEALTH
Beistta to De Derived Prom Cald
Water and Rabblag.
A cold bath—we might as well get at
the straight of the thing—is not really
a matter of cleanliness so much as a
matter of getting the skin livened np
and toe capillaries and veins next to
the surface full of blood. Ice cold
water or scalding hot water will do
that, but tepid water—no, not
Tbe skin Is almost exaetly the same
kind of an excreting organ as the
lungs. The snme products seep
through the pores as are carried off la
the breath, and the air purifies the
blood to the swne way. But the great
er part of the skin Is smothered up li
clothes day and night What the cold
water of the bath dissolves Is matter
well away. And the rubbing dry la
pretty vigorous exercise If you want
to know. Any rubbing Is bound to
push the blood along toward the heart
and help the circulation, because then
are valves In the veins which prevent
the blood from going in any otter dt*
rectlon than toward the heart What
ever loose flakes of outar entlele an
rubbed off we needn't worry about
plenty more where they came from.
The extra food the Increased appetite
demands will make good that trifling
loss.—Eugene Wood In Everybody**
Magazine.
THE HEART MUSCLES
How They Do Their Work and Why
They Never Tire.
It is generally supposed that the
heart Is an organ which never takes a
rest. But thia is not so. The xnuselM
of the heart are not Incessantly work*
lng. The heart contains four cham
bers—two upper, called the auricles, and
two lower, the ventricles. In the beat
ing of the heart the auricles first eon
tract and force the blood Into the ven
tricles they then relax while the ven
tricles repeat the process. Then fol
lows a pause, during which the heart
Is perfectly at rest.
The contraction of the auricles takes
one-fifth of the time between one beat
and the next, the contraction of the
ventricles two-fifths and the pause two
fifths, so that the heart Is really rest
ing two-fifths of its time. Sleep also
aids in relieving the musclee of the
heart, as It considerably diminishes
the rapidity of Its action.
This alternation of rest and actlvl^
endows the heart muscles with their
eapacity for untiling work.
Sacred Hoantalna In Japan.
Travelers In Japan are astonished te
find the grandest shrines throughout
the land situated on the tops of high,
precipitous mountains. This Is becauae
every mountain In that country Is dedi
cated to some deity who Is believed te
be Its gnardlan. These temple grounds
are covered with the oldest and largest
foreet trees, nnJ to the eyes of the peo
ple below the effect of the clouds which
hover around the peak hee originated
the belief that the gods hold the power
over tbe clouds to give er withhold
rain.
Serenity of Temper.
One sign of mental health Is serenity
of temper and a sslf control that ao
ablee ue to bear with equanimity and
unruffled temper the petty trials and
jars of life, especially those srislng
from contact with acolding, Irascible,
Irritating folk. It Is well to remember
at such times that these unfortunetse
are their own worst enemies, and a
cultivation of the art of not hearing
will help ue very mueh. It Is a very
usefnl art all throngh life and well
worth some trouble to acquire.
