he is less of a machine and more of a man, so that I do not thing that the farmers need to be looked upon, or want to be looked upon, as dependents of the state. They do not come to the state government asking alms. They are self-reliant, they are intelligent. What we want in connection with agriculture is what we want in connection with every other field of noble effort. We want training, we want intelligence, we want scientific method, we want direction, we want the way shown, and then the man can walk in it. There is no reason why the same care and attention and skill and scientific consideration should not be devoted to agriculture as to industry and the technical trades. The men who are running away from the farms too frequently make a mistake, and some day in New York —and the day is rapidly approaching —our young men, in large numbers, will wake up to the fact that they have a pretty good chance on the farm, and that

they may be to a greater degree independent and happy in life if they stay where their happy lot was cast in connection with their father's farm or another which they may be able to procure. —Governor Hughes. I ~~ It was a sad disappointment for Rev. J. L. Buyer, of Linn Grove, who not only preaches against the evils of today, but rolls up his sleeves and wades right out to exterminate them, to find out tha he lacked a few days of being in his state long enough to give him the right to sign the remonstrance which he filed against the Linn Grove saloons last Friday. But the fighting parson hopes he will still be here in two years, when he will file it again and will then be able to add hs name to it. —Berne Witness.' A Warrior Too. The wooden boards that had marked the graves in a certain rural cemetery rotted off and were raked up in the spring cleaning. Consequently on (Memorial day when the delegation from the G. A. R. arrived with flags and appropriate floral decorations ror their departed comrades the decorating committee found itself somewhat In doubt as to which grave belonged to Captain Blodgett and which to Hannah Ericson. The mistaken delegates heaped their offerings upon Hannah’s last resting place and departed. That afternoon Ericson, the widower, drifted, with the rest of his world, to the cemetery. When he saw the flag and the flowers above Hannah the astonished Swede fell to chuckling joyously. “Veil,” he exclaimed delightedly, “dose faller bane pooty smart too! Ay tank dat vor all right and som gude yoke on Hannah—he vor pooty gude fighter herselluf.”—Youth’s Companion. Thunder In Various Regions. Java is said to be the region of the globe where It thunders oftenest, having thunderstorms ninety-seven days in the year. After It are Sumatra, with eighty-six days; Hindustan, with fifty-six; Borneo, with fifty-four; the Gold Coast, with fifty-two, and Rio de Janeiro, with fifty-one. In Europe, Italy occupies the first place, with thirty-eight days of thunder, while France and southern Russia have sixteen days. Great Britain and Switzerland have each seven days, and Norway has four. Thunder Is rare at Cairo, being heard only three days in i the year, and extremely rare In north-1 ern Turkestan and the polar regions.

When I first began to handle United States mail ten years ago the directions on envelopes were punctuated according to schoolbook rules. Abbreviations were finished off with a period, names were followed by a comma, and so so. Now the envelope that is properly punctuated is a rarity. Sometimes, just out of curiosity, I take time to look carefully through a bunch of letters. Out of, say, twenty, more than half will be entirely destitute of punctuation marks. In the few cases where an attempt has been made to punctuate hysterical dashes take the place of the periods and commas that once prevailed.”—New York Globe. The Congregation Smiled. Two country clergymen had agreed to exchange pulpits on a certain date. One of them made the following solemn announcement to his congregation on the Sabbath previous to the event: “My dear brethren and sisters, I have the pleasure c' stating that on next Sunday morning the Rev. Zachariah B. Day will preach for you. Let us now sing two verses of hymn No. 489, ‘That Awful Day Will Surely Come.’ ” And it took him some time to discover why the congregation smiled.

Mules and Gray Horses. “I wonder if that truck driver knows of any good reason for hitching that mule with the gray horse?” remarked a Georgian as he saw such a team halted at Chambers street and Broadway. “Let's ask him.” The driver only knew that the team was always driven together by order of the stable boss. “Well,” went on the southerner, “since I was a child I’ve always seemed to know that mules will follow a gray horse or hitch with him where they won’t have any truck with a horse of any other color. I’ve seen the most unruly mules behave properly when in the company of a gray, but I've never heard a good reason given for the fact.”—New York Sun.
