If, perchance, some of your fel low passengers happens to be a snorer, it Is getting into rather close quarters; all you can do is to put yourself in the state of Paul and the crew of the grain ship who, stranded near the isle of Me lita, "wished for the day." Things went very well in our section ; with the exception of every half hour, with the regularity of a timepiece, rising to shake out a slumbering foot, the night wore smoothly on. We were just settling down in good earnest, when a rap was made at every door and the announcement came that it was time to be searched we had crossed the line into France, and this was the custom house station. We did not mind this at all; it had grown to be genuine fun by this time, we had been through it so much. Shall I ever forget that scene ! Ninety sleepy passengers turned out long before the gray of the morning had begun to ap pear, all rubbing their eyes, all yawn iDg, all pulling a heavy valise along, all thowing said valise upon a counter, and all shouting at the top of the voice : "Here, I've got no tobacco in this ; mark me." The less of our good French the officials understood, the more loudly we shouted, till a band of fresh Comanches, right from the free air of their native home, could not have outshouted us. It was all a form. It made not much differ ence whether the valise was opened or not; the eabalistic character was written upon the outside of our alligator skin and we were allowed to pass on. And this was our very pleasant introduction into charming France ! When making my way back to the train I saw a gentleman, who at home is no distant neighbor of mine, examin ing very carefully three umbrellas and two canes tied together, which stood in a corner on the depot platform. "Too bad !" he murmured, "I'm afraid some' one will leave these here." He made many inquiries, but, not finding the owner of the bundle, he passed on. I MET HIM IN PARIS the next evening. "Did you see me looking at those umbrellas standing in the corner," he asked, "at that place where we came into France?" "Yes," I replied, "did you not find the owner?" "Find him!" he shouted, "why I owned them mvself, and I left them there." His wife was separated from him, being with some lady friends in the sleeping' car, which had been attached to the train at Turin. She bad brought out the umbrellas thinking that all must change cars, in the melee of the custom' house bad forgotten all about them. A very good friend of mine, a minister with a prodigious memory for statistics and cold facts, but with an absentmind edness truly remarkable about any thing that miht be in his hand, left three um brellas, I think, in as many different places. Entering a restaurant in Gibral tar, he carried an expensive mackintosh in his hand. He threw it over the back of his chair, and, that he might the more surely remember his waterproof cloak when he came out, he repeated several times to himself, emphasizing each word with a rap upon the table : "My mackin tosh is on the back of my chair ; I must take It when I leave this place." My friend ate a square meal, thoroughly en joyed it, paid the price at the desk and sauntered out, calmly chewing a tooth pick, to view the rest of Gibraltar. The mackintosh reposed on the back of the chair where my friend left it, and was thought of no more till that evening, as standing on deck, he was gazing at the crouching stone lion, the line so ford bly repeated in the eating-bouse came back like a shaft of lightning my mack intosh ! You remember that the children of Israel erected 12 memorial stones in the bed of the Jordan after their miraculous passage through the stream. There was no seed for the "Frieslanders" to do that ; their path was sufficiently traced by the umbrellas and small loose ar ticles that were left behind. At some hour in the early part of this night in the darkness and we being no Frenchmen you can imagine that no clear idea of the topography of the country was gleaned we felt such sudden chilliness come over us that we were roused even from our downy beds "Where are we?" we exclaimed. "Have our compartment cars been suddenly transformed into ice-boxes?" After much inquiry we learned from a sleepy passenger who bad been over this way before that our train was - about to pass through the famous Mount Cenis tunnel in other words, we were to pierce to the heart of the Alps. This tunnel is one of the marvels of engineering skill that these last few decades have seen. In length it is excelled by only one tunnel in the world, that at the Pass of St Gothard. The Mount Cenis tunnel is 39.840 feet long, or seven and one half miles. If you wish to compare this with something that comes within the range of your own experience, you can recall that the great Hoosick tunnel on the Fitchburg road has a length of 25,080 feet, or four and three-quarter miles. All that second day we were SPEEDING THROUGH FRANCE. I have often heard the European rail ways spoken of disparagingly in com pariaon with our own. Tbeie are cer tainly many conveniences in travel which we have here which haye not yet been transported to the other side, especially In the matter of checking baggage and a lavatory where the dust and grime of travel can be removed. The Continental railways have not yet produced an "Em pire State Express," averaging 62 miles per hour running time, but the speed of the trains on the main lines is good. We were whirled past clumps of houses, a group of factory buildings and vineyards without number. Now and then a stream would follow us for a long distance be side the track, turbulently dashing over Its bed. In the early part of the day we caught many glimpses of snow-crowned idges as the Alps were fading oat of view; later In the day it was level land and slopes, with the neat village or larger town at unequal distances alor-j the way. 2 . fvs vrr.., -- j , Imagine that I was riding through the old Bay State. And there is another thing that would be barred out, only this time the barring is in France ; in America, almost anywhere you may go, you se as the conspicuous object when ever you approach the smallest hamlet the little white faurch with its Heaven- pointing spire. You miss this sight in Catholic France. In the times of the reformation there were 2000 Protestant churches in France, atd the hand of Prov idence seemed then beckoning to make It the leading Protestant nation in the world. Perhapu the pendulum of Time may yet swing backward far enough to let France see what she was destined to be before the signal from the bell tower of St Germain l'Auxerrois was given for the massacre of St Bartholomew. At the many stations where our train halted for a moment or two through the day, and the doors of cur compartments were thrown open to give us a breathing-spell and a stretch of our limbs upon the platform, we had the chance to get acquainted with Mr Boasi. Mr Rossi was in charge of our party now, and was to keep charge of us till we were safely embarked on our steamer at Antwerp. This conductor had been with the party ever since we left Gibraltar, I believe ; that is, rumor had it that he had been with the party since then, though no one was any the wiser for his presence. He was called a conductor, though Whom he was going to conduct or how he was to do it no one on the "Friesland" could de cipher. He wasjseen at meal-time on the steamer and did his full share in patroniz ing the contents of the larder ; he was proof against seasicknebB and was also proof against giving information of any sort. HE WAS A SPHINX," although, unlike the Egyptian variety, this sphinx was alive. He moved about silently in the crowd when we visited the Alhambra and other places of deep in terest, but he was like the pillars and frescos we looked at he uttered never a word. Many were our speculations as to the defect in his organs of speech and as to whether he had ever learned to talk. But now, going through France, Mr Rossi underwent, like the caterpillar, a thorough metamorphosis. He was as voluble as an auctioneer and even crack ed many a good joke. Like the gourd that startled Jonah, his sadden develop ment was remarkable ; in a single morn ing we awoke and found him a famous guide. If any tourist wants to engage the service of a capable and efficient con ductor, there is no one whom I would now more cheerfully and quickly recom mend than this self-same Rossi of "Fries- land" fame. I think that I have dis covered the reason for his silence erst while and his subsequent loquacity : in the one case he was playing third or fourth fiddle to Mr Clark, he was only a lieutenant or subaltern ; in the other case he was commander-in-chief and ev erybody bowed to his sway. "It is bet ter to be first at Appia," said Ca-sar, "than second at Rome." At five o'clock that afternoon we were IN THE BIO RAILROAD DEPOT . of Paris. There was the same old scurry for the omnibus, and, ensconced within its depths, a very small detachment of the once great "Friesland" party were rolled along the magnificent boulevards to Hotel de Terminus, where we were to be during our brief Paris sojourn. We hardly took time to register, so great was our hurry to be off and away to 1 Rue Auber, Mr Clark's Paris office, and get tne last letter tnat would come to us from the dear home-land.

Farm Journal. HOW UNCLE SAM PRINTS HIS GREENBACKS, fSrECIAL COKBESFONDENCE OF THB BEE All the paper money used in the Unit ed States is now engraved and printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Print ing in Washington, D. U. The plates, described in a former letter, from which the money is printed, are stored by the ton in an enormous vault on the ground floor of the building. Here, a short time before work hours begin, the print ers form in line and receive from the cus todian the plates they are to use for the day. The plates are numbered, and each man gives a receipt for his precious charge. The presses, some two hundred in number, are all.hand presses, "and each requires the attendance of two persons the printer" and his assistant, usually young lady, whose duty it is to place the sheet upon the plate for printing and then remove the same and examine it to see if the impression taken is perfect The lassistants receive $1.25 per day wages, which is deducted from the pay f the printer.. They are appointed through the Civil Service Commission, and usually are placed under the charge of the printers and remain with the same ones who have instructed theji in the duties of their trade. The paper, in sheets large enough for four bills, comes from the Treasury xDe- partments in bundles of one thousand sheets. When it arrives it is counted into packages of one hundred sheets each and thoroughly moistened so that it will absorb the ink. . The printer applies Ink to the plate with a hand roller, wipes with a cloth, and then polishes it with the open palm of his hand. No satisfactory substitute has been discovered lor the human hand for this finishing touch in preparing the plate for printing steel engravings, and for that reason fine work cannot be done on steam presses. The design is cut down into the plate and the fine lines are filled with ink. Eaoh plate has to be studied by itself, for the skill of the printer depends up a his knowledge of the proper way in which the 'particular plate should be rubbed. No two plates require the same treatment. When the plate is "polished off," the attendant places a sheet upon the table carrying the plate is passed be neath a roller under great pr - thrown aside, and for each press an al lowance is made of one poor sheet out of every hundred. If the number spoiled exceeds this the printer is charged for the estimated cost of the paper and all the work put on it up to the time the in jury is done. The backs are printed first, then after seasoning and remoisten ing the faces, then the numbers .are ap plied, and finally the red seal is affixed and the bills are cut apart. The printed Sheets, good and bad, are turned in and counted. If a sheet is missing the printer has to pay the gov ernment the full face value ot the four bills, no matter what the denomination. The sheets are counted some sixty times from beginning to end, and the system of work is so perfectly arranged that it is almost an unknown thing to find a mistake found anywhere. A good printer prints, about 900 sheets a day, though occasionally an extra rapid worker can turn off a thousand. The pay is by the day and depends upon work done. After deducting the wages of the assistant the printer has from $4 to $6 dollars per day .left for his servi ces. The printers are now entitled to a leave of absence for 30 days per year, the same as other government clerks, and during this time they receive the average amount earned for a certain period previous to taking .their vaca tions. FARMING IN HIGH LATITUDES- A LETTER FROM DENMARK. It is mid-harvest on both sides of the Sound, or, I should say, more than that on the island of Eunen, which is the most fertile part of this little kingdom ; the part, too, where rents are highest, the farmers best off, and where almost the wheat north of the Duchies is raised. Of course the upper Jpart of Jutland, consisting mostly of sand dunes, does not count at all : and one wonders why Hjerring and Frederikshavn managed to get get themselves set down there. Rye gains a foothold wherever cultivation .is possible ; it is now all in shocks, stand ing in the fields, and would have been stored in the barns but for the drench ing rains whioh. have prevailed in west era Europe. Even then, some time allowed to harden oft before any of it ground, and a country mill (wind power with auxiliary steam) which I saw at Hillerod in North Zeeland, yesterday was still working on old stuff, which in extremely short supply everywhere. These said rains have played havoc with the barley crop (both here and in southern Sweden), and there will be more light grain produced than has been the case for years. "Best Danish" very good barley indeed; most of Gum ess' famous product comes from it, and the price makes a relativelylhigh average in Mark Lane. But when these dashing rains come a few weeks before harvest and level the fields, in many cases with a roller, the costs of harvesting fare increased, and the quality of the grain unequal and disappointing. No people are more painstaking in respect to choice of seed than the Danes, and their govern ment well fosters a distinguishing care in this respect. Then although the day are swelteringly hot from eleven to two o'clock, the nights already get keen, the stars shine out with great brilliancy,-and early night frosts cannot be altogethe: unlooked for all this preventing kindly ripening. Where this cereal has been already cut, it is neatly sheaved (plenty of Wood's self-binding reapers are on larger farms) and carefully set up in shocks, with an inverted cap-sheaf to cast of the rain, and to keep all the rest snug and safe. Where extra care taken and I saw this on the smaller holdings in Skania a long stake is placed upright, and a firm centre is thus obtained for all sorts of wind or weather. Happily the clover crop, on which they so greatly depend (for there is not ground enough to spare for permanent grass or pasture) was well got ; and the second crop is all that can be desired rich, luscious, and a good living indeed for the animals that appear to be all doing well upon ,it. Tethered every creature is that gets the advantage of so great a mouthful; "waste not, want not," is the motto everywhere, and even the horses get used to this way of having their living provided. An eyable thing it is to look on a row of a score of red cows, all fastened in line and cropping just the portion of ground assigned them. They are educated to it from calfhood, and are spared the waste of vital force that roaming about entails the portion allotted is fresh, sweet, and the animals seem to have sense enough never to soil it, but to fall back as the rope allows, on the previously grazed portion. Still, when the weather thundery, and tne gaany busy, it is no agreeable sight to notice some of the cows rushing round, as on a circus course, but with tail aloft and other symptoms of discomfort. I have seen sheep also grazing thus as they are most generally fastened In pairs the rope be ing forked within a few feet of its ex tremity. The economy in fences is ap parent but l need not aaa tnat the sys tem is best adapted for good full crops and would be far less suitable for a poor region. : Milk or rather its products still forms one of the staple articles of Dan ish export, and the butter in particular, holds a good place in the London mar kets, no pains being spared to give uni formity of yield, fineness of finish, and great speed in placing fresh on the con sumer's breakfast table. l nave saia tnat tne uanisn govern ment gives a helping hand to the farmer in every way possible. The country is to be well represented at the Iaternation al Congress of Agriculture, which is to be held at Brussels from the 8th to the 16th of September. The work of the congress will be divided Into 12 sections, comprising agricultural education, agri cultural science, agricultural associa tions, including co-operation, legislation and administration, the monetary situa tiori, production of animals, veterinary medicine, vegetahle production, econom ic forestry, pisciculture and agricultural Industries, Socially, there is much to be noted here. In proportion to her population, Denmark is richer than any other coun try in Europe, with the sole exception of England. Proportionally, the circula tion of newspapers is larger than in any other country in Europe. Her peasant class is among the best educated in the world. More than 150,000 of her agri cultural laborers own bouses and land, and only about 35,000 cf f--i do rot tries. Denmark was exporting most of her swine to Germany whon that coun try prohibted the importation of foreign swine. The Danes at once built co-ooer- tive curing establishment?, Mid in the?e half of the pigs reared in the" country i are "cured" and exported to England in J the shape of bacon. Denmark now sup- . plies about one-fifth . of the bacon im- ported by England, not to mention more s than 100,000 pigs, and as an exporter bacon is second only to the United States. Her yearly, export of cattle is about 100,000 head. Last year' she sent 160,000,000 eggs to England. When corn feu below a profitable ririce the Danish agriculturist promptly changed his whole system, and instead of plant ing unprofitable crops as they stui do in some parts of England, threw much of his energies into dairy farming, and made it pay. There are, comparatively speaking, no poor in Denmark. I men tion these facts merely to show that the Danes are Industrious, thrifty and ener getic, and that they always rise to an emergency, and that the obstacle placed n their way, the more determined they are to overcome it. Some quaint old customs sjtill abide in this part of Scandinavia. -The Yule sheaf is put by unthreshed at every farm-house, and on Christmas eve it is hung out on a high pole near the farm er's door, for the famishing birds to make their Jul-afton. If the Yule-sheaf were not seen there, the people would believe the farmer would have a bad season; they would think him a hard man, and not like to help him. And how do they manage for the beasts They, too, get double food for their Christmas. T. Bowiek, : Copenhagen, August 14, in Country Gentleman THE BUTTER OUTLOOK. Just what the future has in store for buttermakers is a question hard to an swer. At present the consumptive de mand is much less than the supply, and great quantities of butter are being held on the farms and at the factories, or go ing into cold storage 'in the cities. As stock get on to short pasture in the fall and go into winter quarters the make will be much less than now, and butter will begin to come out of cold storage as soon as prices advance enough to pay the cost of holding and a good profit be sides. But there are more cows in the country than a few yearB ago, and win ter dairying is greatly on the increase in some sections. Both of these conditions put more fresh butter on the market dur ing the fall and winter months, so that there is a less demand and lower prices than formerly for held stock. A prominent Jew York butter com mission man writes that nearly all the available room in cold storage building was either filled or spoken for by the first of Jaly. He also says "the present indications are for a very large make of butter this season, and where it is all go ing to and at what prices is a debatable question." Certainly the outlook for high prices at any time during the next year or two is not a good one. But we may look for fair if not high prices Sometime ago we called attention to the fact in these pages of the decreased manu facture and consumption of oleo and butterine, and the place of these products is being filled by genuine butter as it should be. Last winter several states Dassed new laws or strengthened their old ones restricting or prohibiting the sale of imitation butter products, 'and every day the oleo makers find their markets growing smaller. This, in itself, is a hopeful sign to buttermekers, and it will probably be some time before good butter overstocks the market. The Practical Dairyman. Fairfield County Chat. WAEREN. FARM AN1 PERSONAL NOTES. Mrs Francis H. Carter of Toledo, O, after giving another entertainment to the satisfaction of a large number present and able to judge of its artistic character, has left town, going on Thursday last. The young people who spent the week at the seashore had a most delightful week for their outing. There was another baptising at the south end of Lake Waramang on Thurs day afternoon and it is stated that the tent is to go to Washington for a week. Mrs Orlando Swift and daughter, Evie came to town on Tuesday last. Their presence was welcomed and though many months : residents of Hartford, it still seemed home to them here. The farmers have nearly finished gath ering their potato crop. The cold mornings have revealed in low places frost as a forerunner of what Is likely soon to be more general and blasting to the vividness and grandeur the forests and fields now display. Trav el now is m many places a journey through an extended flower garden. The ground is very dry and a passing team along the street leaves a cloud of dust behind, as well as being enveloped in the same. One extreme follows an other, so in a little while the dust will be laid and formed into mud. The visitors at Lake Waramaug have begun their exodus and a few weeks will suffice to close the outing season at this famous resort.
