Uttered A Long Sentence.

The late Abrant S. Hewitt hs* » very nimble wit and dearly loved a Joke, eaya the New fork Times. Tie vai once a guest at a dinner which included the late Recorder Smyttae and Senator Evarta. The Recorder was poking fun. at the Senator, and, adjusting his eyeglasses, read from a newspaper clipping what purported to be a sentence from a recent speech made by the Senator, but was In reality wholly fictitious —as the 'Recorder knew quite well. At the conclusion the laugh was long and hearty at Mr. Evarts’ expense, and no one laughed longer and heartier than the Senator himself. As soon as the laughter had subsided Mr. Hewitt suddenly leaned across the table, and, looking rather atemly into the smiling face of the Recorder, said, in a well-assumed tone of reproach: “That certainljr Is a remarkable sentence, your honor, but criticism of it does not come well from you ft today’s newspapers are to be believed, for they contain a sentence of much greater length which Is attributed to you.” “Why—why—how is that, Mr. Hewitt?” inquired the Recorder, with considerable confusion. “Because,” said Mr. Hewitt, with the utmost gravity, and that grim smile which always accompanied his best sayings, “you are there quoted as uttering a sentence that was to last through the whole life of the prisoner.”

Yelpen, Ind., April 6.—Wm. O’B.

They cored me, made a well man of me and I am now as sonnd as I ever was. “I can testify that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are a genuine remedy for Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.”

NATURE STUDY FOR SCHOOLS.

Secretary Wilson Anxious to Make Farmers of All Children. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is planning to make farmers of all public School children in the United States, or at least to instruct them-in the elements of plant life. There is a scarcity -of scientific farmers in the country, and as it requires years to train them thoroughly the Secretary of Agriculture has adopted a practical plan of interesting the public school children of both sexes in this great work. "The science of agriculture is so broad,” enthusiastically exclaimed the Secretary, “that'it is impossible to teach practical and scientific fanning in the four years' training we are giving many of our bright young then. “Therefore, the element of plant life Should be taught to children along with the other lessons. They shonld be instructed how to graft, advised as to the properties of the soil, taught the elements of gemination and the importance of moisture in the soil, the reasons why the soil should contain moisture, and be told why the coil shonld be worked when crops are growing. “These are simple and interesting matters and can be comprehended by children. Teachers in normal schools and pupils in these schools should be given Instructions end practical experience on these points so as to enable them to impart this knowledge when they take charge of classes in our public educational institutions.” " The public school teachers should, when porsible, according to the Secretary, instruct their pupils when the teachers are correctly informed. They shonld encourage children to take plants, roots, flowers, and bugs to school for the purpoee of studying them
