ThoReciprocity Convention shows a londencyto discard the word"reci procity" as misleading. "High and Low Tariff" is suggested as a watch word more briefly, the "Dual Tariff." The "dual tariff" is precisely that plan u'l ieii Germany, under the name of "maximum and minimum tariff" is turning against us. Other Continental nations will presently adopt it. The Chamberlainites in Kn«laud powerfully advocate it in tlii-ir "colonial preference."

If roin tho London Dfcliy News.] Three boys in a house were told to go and take the exact time by a flock in the town. The first lad went, looked at the clock, came back and said: "It is 12 o'clock." In after life lie became a prosaic bookseller. The second boy was more exact, lie saiil on returning that it was three ininutes past 12. He became a doctor. Tho third lad looked at the clock, found out how long it had taken him to walk back to the house, re turned to the clock, then added the time of his walk to the time of the clock and reported the result thus: It is at this moment 12 hours, 10 ininutes and 15 seconds." That boy came to distinction as Helmholtz, the scientist. Beware of the gloomy Hood. [Memphis Commercial-Appeal] Never permit yourself to make any decision of importance while you aro in a state of depression.

Governor CummniB did not dis appoint any of hisdemocratic friends by any of his speeches before the recent reciprocity conference in Chi cago. The Governor has right and reason on his side, but the standpat ters have all the money of the trusts on their side, and in the debates which will take place during the next three years in republican con ditions right and reason will stand but a slim chance. The Governor, and all men who believe as he does, will have the opportunity of their es, after they are turned down by the standpatters, to help their coun try by working and voting with the democratic party. The Governer will not need a formal invitation, for lie has worked and voted with the democrats on former occasions. 7 Its the Ruat. The machine that lies idle is far more liable to injury than the ma chine that runs. The idle machine gets rusty. Air and dampness do more damage than wear and tear. Let the ma. chine remain inactive awhile and the coating formed by the corrosion soon covers the bright metal and the parts become stiff and cranky.

Normally these parts should be exercised. He indulges his members in idleness. Whatever vitality and working force they may have had when in continued use ne gleet causes the machinery to run stiffly. It is the rust. 91 Or— A man may neglect to exercise his working brain -forces, lie may have ever so quick a mind, but if he does not use his mental machinery the rust of idleness is soon over it. Or— A man may neglect to use the, moral forces that are inliim. There is a weakening somewhere. The machine lets down. And soon the parts are rusted. And so of society or government— associations of men for special pur ]Hses. Note this: When the primary or the convention or the ballot box— working parts of government—are neglected the rust collects. The machinery works poorly. It may break down. Keep your body working without friction' by systematic exercise. Keep your mind bright_by using it. Keep your soul clean by working it. And as for society—nine-tenths of its evils are caused by the idleness of its necessary working parts. It's the ruBt.—Dea&Ioines Daily News. lxi{ MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, A IK JUST 21), 190."

Formerly in the eoru belt straw was regarded as a useless surplus only to be burned and hauled to water-ways and dumped as waste. While during recent years fari.iers indicate that they are beginning to appreciate the value of this form of roughage, yet there is still consider able carelessness about methods of handling. It is not uncommon to fiud straw simply blown into a heap with a wind Btacker and left there to absorb whatever moisture heaven maysee fit to bestow. True it is that the wind stacker lms met with con demnation in certain localities, be cause of the manner in which it de posits straw—leaving it, as is often claimed, in the best possible cond ition to absorb moisture. Its place has in some instances been taken by the old-time carrier made to revolve bo as to reduce handling to the min imum. Although we are free to acknow ledge that help at threshing time is usually scarce, yet wo are firmly or the opinion that it will nay tho aver age farmer to add two or three men and put them on his straw stack. While we sometimes think that stack ing is a lost art, especially stacking straw, yet much can be done by three or four hustling fellows if they are given the right instruction, and es pecially if they are under the tutel age of one who knows, The one common and important principle of stacking is to keep the our feet untrampod. If this is done when the stack settles, water will be shed out instead of toward the center. Someone may ask, of what vali is the straw after ono has gone to the trouble to save it properly any inoro than to simply supply sufficient bedding for fnrm animals? To this we will say that under ordinary cir cumstances enough bedding is not used. Lack of it contributes to the discomfort of animals and also to tlie wostefullnesa in manurial consti tuents. where the stack is located near the yards it ia often an excellent plan to throw down the straw from time to time and allow animals to thoroughly tramp it and thus incor porate with it the liquid and sold manure. In this way yards may be kept from being worked up into mud and a decided waste will be cut off. In older countries it is not un common to find farmers employing the old-fashioned cutting-box, which is run with the same power that drives the threshing machinc, and which cuts the straw and stores it in pile under cover. To tho corn belt farmer this may seem to be going a little too far, and yet, con sidering how greatly it condenses the straw pile and how convenient it is for feeding and bedding, it would not be surprising if a decade brought this very system into the central West. —Homestead. Fall Plowing Again. We have recently called attention to some of the reaaons why it is more profitable to plow stubble fields during the month of August than to plow latter in the season. A sub scriber asks whether we would ad vise deep or shallow plowing if the land is turned during this month. If the soil permits there is no ob jection to deep plowing in the fall of the year. As a rule, if the laud is plowed in the spring it is not advis able to plow it too deep. This is especially true iu dry years. It does not follow, however, that fall plowing should always be deep. If the land has been plowed shallow fora number of years and the sub-soil immediately below the bottom of the furrow slice has become more or less hardened, it is advisable to plow it a couple of inches deeper and to continue this for a number of years. After that it may again bo advantageous to plow the land a little shallower again. It nevor pays to turn too much sub-soil to the surface at one time. Deep plowing must come gradually. Plow say one inch deeper every year until the ground has been turned to a sufficient depth. Wherever it is desirable to increase the depth of plowing, the best time to do it is in the fall. Don't be in too much of hurry when you get to plowing, lie sure that every inch of ground is cut and properly turned. A great many farmers, but perhaps more particu larly those who are renting, take pleasure in attempting to turn the furrow a little wider tlian the plow will cut. Whenever this is done the soil is injured. The object of plow ing is not only to turn the weeds ~v*rl—S1 ..' iiinJer and to turn some new soil to tlie surface, but the main object to lie accomplished ia to pulverize. The plow is the best pulverizing imple ment, we li ive ami unless the furrows are properly turned, the full pulver izing benefit can not be secured. Tlie straigliter the furrow tlie better the work that is done. Whenever you sen a man who plows a lurnnv so straight that one could shoot a bullet through it from one end to the other, one may bo assured that that man is a good farmer. It, is impos sible to do good work where tho fur row lun the form of a snake trail. Another point that a great many fanners overlook is the importance of alternating back and dead furrows. I'liere are'some men who always seem to be in a hurry, aud who evidently tliink that by plowing tho land in the same direction every year, by piling a lot of soil up against the fences and by increasing the depth of the dead furrow, they can do more work. Tliis, however, is a false impression and only shows tli^ir short-sighted ness. Farmers Tribune. THAT DISTANT HILL. no Xot Attempt to Cllmh it Until Yon Ouiue to It. Never climb a hill until you get to it, advises a writer in Medical Talk l\»r tlie Home. We remember as children that in riding through the country we had a dread of high hills. How oftotf we saw far ahead of us on the road a formidable looking hill, liow high and rough and steep it looked, and how we feared itV HiAv hard it would be for the horse to carry us up siu.*h a hill? We were sure he wuuld slip and fall ami inayhe upset the carriage, and so, with the greatest apprehension, we would approach the dreadful hill. Hut how surprised we were as we rame u-arer to lind the hill receding, growing :latter anil really not a hill at all when ive reached the point that seemed so aigh and eraggy and dangerous? Ho it id with many of life's perplexi ties. How darkly they loom up before us! What a black pall they spread irouud us? Hut when we get close up to them they have vanished entirely. We spoil so much of life In fear and foreboding. We let slip the beautiful moments that are ours and spoil them by dreading the moments of the fu ture with which we have nothing to do. We ride over the nice, level couutry, forgetting its beauty, unmindful of its delight, dreading the hill that never comes. DISRAELI AND GLADSTONE.

Owing to tlie lack of st:+cli and sugar an egg caunot be called a com plete food for tbe adult? hence bread, rice or some other starchy food must be served with eggs.

Men mid Women and Th*»lr Attitude Toward the Mirror. It is not always for the mere gratifi cation of persoual vanity that we should attentively study our mirrors. Socrates advised ail young people to look often in their looking glass to as certain if they were good looking that if they were so tho.v might strive to make their mental attainments corre spond, and If they were not then they might endeavor by the .superior accom plishments of their minds to make up for tbeir personal shortcomings. This is excellent ail' 'ce for vanity possessed moderns, but it is improba ble that the high mental attitude of Socrates is appnviated by them. How the elaborate toilet of today could be accomplished without the aid of the mirror it is impossible to imagine. It is popularly supposed that the mirror is the woman's pet possession, but man Is by no means averse to contemplat ing his manly charms as rellected there in. A woman frankly confes.-es.ber in terest in the alluring combination of glass and quicksilver, but the man, while voicing his scorn, proves his su perior vanity by Ids concealed aud se cretive study of It. He Jeers at his wife's cheval glass. But was anything more entirely provocative of human vanity ever invented than the many sided shaving glass?—London Chroni cle? RUSES OF BANKERS. DcriccM I'aeil to Hither (ialn Time or IiiN|ilre Confidence. Some amusing anecdotes are told of the devices resorted to by bankers to gain time and inspire eontUlence. On one memorable occasion the excited subscribers, much *o their indignation, were only able to enter the bank one by one except at the cost of spoiled coats, as the cute manager had caused the door posts to be freshly painted. Another bank prevented a crisis in its affairs by exhibiting in the win dows large tubs apparently brimful of sovereigns. These tubs, however, were simply upside down and a small quan tity of gold only piled up on their bot toms. Put the most ingenious dodge of all was successfully carried out in Buenos Ayres. There was a run on a large bank, and for several days subscribers besieged the premises, withdrawing money and placing it In another bank ou tlie opposite side of the road. It happened, however, that these two in stitutions bad a private understanding, and as fast as the "safe" bank receiv ed the deposits they were returned to the "unsafe" one by an underground passage, with the result that every oue marveled at its continued ability to meet its demands.—London News. WHY SHE COULDN'T FIND IT. Inquiry Into Kurly Illntory of Ger many Developed a 1'usxle. In the state department, where a Mir""knowledge of history Is the one requisite above others, information concerning the earlier history of Ger many was desired. The employee upou whom this task of (hiding this devolved is a young woman who passed the civil service examination with an Al grade. She went to the bookshelves and looked In that section where the historical data of this country are kept. "That's funny," she murmured after rummaging through the volume. "Here Is Germauy, but these books don't go back far enough." After anotherdesultory search through the volumes she came and stood beside an elder woman whose early educution, though by no means as comprehensive as that of today, consisted in learning what she did learn well. "Do you know where the rest of Ger many Is?" the girl asked. "It's all there," was the answer. "But it can't be, because it doesu't go back as far as I want." The elder woman looked at the slip of paper in the gltl's hand on which a date prior to the time of Frederick the Great was written. "There was no Germany as early as that." she said promptly. "Then how can I Und it?" the girl helplessly asked. "Look under Prussia, of course," the elder woman answered. "Oh!" said the girl. Washington Post. Diet Why They Are Vuluabl For the Sick.
