Jobblot was agreeable to the prop

to me, though I'm uo judge, you've

"Yes," Paid Jobblot, "I have."
"Fancy touches don't mean fancy

anxiously.
"In this instance they do," answered
Miss St vies.
"Yes," assented Jobblot, "and be

"I have another painting, Mr.

formula, upon introducing a new set
of trees, water aud cows, irnd Mr.
Flagj would glance at tho canva3 and
say:
"This is the second one in two

And Jobblot wonld answer in the

Then he would invito Flagg to have a
cigav, and Flagg would scleot two for
a quarter, aud the deal would bo com

One day Flagg said to Jobblot:
notice mo price or paint lias gone
down; will that make a difference in
the value of your pictures?".
Jobblot earnestly explaiueu that
talent, not paiut, made a pictnre, and
no matter how cheap paint might be
come, talent never could be cheap

"That's what I thought," said the
auctioneer; "but I wauted to be sure
so as to explain it to my customers, iu
case they haggled.
Jobblot had n friend to whom ho
ron tided everything but his poverty.
She was an artist, with whom he be
rarao acquainted iu Central Fark,
where she went frequently to sketch
still life from nature. Like Jobblot,
her specialty was landscapes. He
natd to tako his cauras aud easel to
the park; but when she was there he
used them rarely, preferring, he said,
to watch her deft manipulation of
oo'ors. fc'ouittimos both easels wonld
be left standing idle while tho couple
rat beneath a tree and talked of art,
and other matters. Miss Styles had
exhibited in shows and had sold her
, paintings, and once she had been
Mentioned in the art columns of an
afternoon newspaper r.s "a young
woman whoso work willte heard from
in the future." Jobblot occasionally
wondered when as much would bo
said of him. His imagination at times
was qnito strong.
Jobblot one day fell ill. He had
just commenced a meadow scene,' and
he was obliged to leave it on the
easel, incomplete. A physician,
whom his landlady summoned, said
he had typhoid fever, and the land
lady asked him whether he had any
friends. Jobblot mentioned Flagg
. and Miss Styles, and tho landlady
rent tor both. Flagg called', but
Jobblot waa asleep, and he took ad
vantage of the chauc9 to make a care
ful inventory of the room, anticipat
ing an auction salo of a deceased ar
tist' effect. He did not include the
paintin, because it was unfinished.
When Hiss Styles called, Jobblot
waa awake and they had a 'quiet talk
together. He was obliged to acknowl
edge his poverty. He mourned be
eause he could not work and complete
his picture, which, he said, was con

Hitting K'rlit Stories Down n Hollow
Spiral at the Kate of Ono a Second.
A test was made at noon a few days
ago, of the new liro escape erected by
the United States Printing Company
at its plant in Eggleston avenue, Cin
cinnati. Three hundred employes
from the seven floors of the shop were
shot through the big steel tube at the
rate of sixty a minute. At a given
signal men and women ran to the win
dows connecting with the fire escape
aud threw themselves upon the wind
iug incliiw. The building was emptied
in five minutes, without a casualty.
The test was made with the co-opera
tion of tho lire department. The fire
escape is cylindrical in form, six feet
iu diameter, and made of sheet steel
It is erected alongside the bu-ilding,
and connected with a window on each
floor by a steel approach leading to
an opening iu the cylinder. Iu the
centro of tht fire escape rises a three-!
inch standpipe. At the level of each
floor a hose plug is attached. By this
arrangement, and a ladder running up
the outside of the lire escape, the use
of ladders and water towers is obvia-:
ted, the firemeu working direct from
the fire escape.
Tho person fleeing from tho . fire
steps into it, sits down, folds his arms
and lets go. The escape does the rest.
The steel incline, smooth as g'ass, is
slightly curved to fit the body. The'
person goes flying round and round
the central standpipe. When the bot
tom is reached he shoots out an open
door. On the day of the trial two
men stood at tho opeuing and caught
each person as he (did out, helping
him to land on his feet. There was
no discomfort except a possible ten
dency to seasickness. A baby or an
infirm person could be pnt in the fire;
escape from an eighth floor, and either,
would land at the bottom without in-
jaiy-
Of the 300 who tned it many were
girls. Only one was affected Beri-;
onsly. She fainted at the start, and;
went down an inert body, yet did not
suffer a bruiso, and was quickly re-'
vived when she reached terra Crma.
Tho Hairy Farm.
If it is regarded as advisable to
purchase a farm for the future keep
ing of the herd, the land should be
selected with an eye single to the pur
pose for which it is intended. A
dairy farm should naturally consist
of good land, but all good lands are
not suitable for tho establishment
and maintenance of a dairy. The
Foil should be selected with a view to
its superiority and fituess for grain
and grasses. There should be purity
aud plentifulness of a constant supply
of running water. If possible a fall
of running water should be secured
that would supply sufficient water on
the premises, and could be conducted
to a tank'hy means of a hydraulia
ram. This wonld be more economi
cal and satisfactory than a windmill
or pump. An abundanco of clean,
pure watet is absolutely essential in
every department of a first-class
dairying establishment. Quite a
number of dairy herds are managed
without any farm annex, and whether
or not this feature is to bo added is
for the owner to determine in figuring
out his best interests or wishes. At

Look Oat For Potato Larva.
Notwithstanding tho scarcity of the
potato beetles early in 6pring there
will be a good many potato hills
stripped before farmers are aware.
Each female beetle lays 1000 eggs bo-
fore Bhe die?, and as these are on the
under 6ide of the leaf to keep them
dry, they are unnoticed despite their
bright yellow color until the larva
hatch out and begin their work on the
leave3. The larva keep in the sun
light as much as possible, though et
night they cuddle down in tho crev-
iCes between stalk and branch and in
wet weather hide under the leaves.
In a bright sunshiny day the progeny
of one beetle will strip a good niauy
hills, so that their product will not be
worth much. There will be some fair
sized potatoes grown under these
stripped hills, but the tubers will be
deficient to starch, and will be salvy
or - watery when cooked instead of
mealy as a cooked potato should be.
It is the leaves which supply! the
starch to the potato, and wherever
leaves are destroyed by any cause the
potatoes will be poor, as the farmer
did not gain anything by mowing down
his potato tops as soon as he found
potato larva working on them.

I had oo acre of fair land which trud ;
been ytekliDg aomethtcg over b;.lf a i
bag of cot tea to the acre. I a I j
determined to raise strawberries on it I
under intensive culture anl see what 1 !
could do, Irving my leTel best. 1
The land tad beea in cotton hl :
stsnaarr. Cowpeaa would have Ufa j
much Jortter. As rcoa &a the cotton j
was picked, about October 15th. I cut i
off the -stalks, plowed the rani well, j
hauled on &0 loads ci stable manure
and all the ashes I tad. broadcasted all !
evenly and turned under shallow.
I then ran off the lot In lan 3s 4 1-2 '
fet wide. To each land I et 3 rows j
of plants, rowa one foot apart, plants
one foot apart in row. This left a j
walkway 2 1-2 feet wide lwtwwn each ;
set of hre rows. i
The plants grew finely. One light ;
working was all the attention they sot :
till the following February. I then :
top dresred them with 600 lbs. fertll.ztr 1
net In potash, scattered pine straw i
evenly around and between them as a :
mulch.
In April I gathered and soi l 2.2X) '
quarts of pplendid berries, which net
ted ec on an average $1 4 G for the ;
icre. ot bad for the flrt cron. 1
As soon as the berries were off and j
during the following summer. I cult'.-
vated shallow but thoroughly, the '
wafikway with a horse cultivator, the ;
space between the plants with hoes. i
The following October I tieattered
about 50 bushels of ashes around and ;
between the plants, and over these 30 !
loads of stable manure, taking trains j
not to smother the plants. Again in I
February I applied six weight fertili- !
er rich in potash and pulled oait every !
weed as they came. No work was
needed as the stable manure, now
wcf.1 beaten down by rain, took its
place.
The crop of berries, large as pullet
fggs, was tremendous. I believe that
I should have made a little fortune on
that acre if 1 had not la3t spring have
struck the most unprofitable, straw
berry season ever seen. I shipped a:d
sold locally from that blessed acre a
loag ways over 10,000 quarts, exactly
how many I do not know, as It kept
me hustling too fart to keep accounts.
Nor do I know exactly what they
netted me. The madam started out to
keep the accounts straight, but she got
things tangled.
All that I know is that at the end cf
the picking the ha"! $506.10, all of
which, and a . little mca-e we could
trace, came from that crop of straw
berries. I have plowed up that acre and put
jn peas, preparatory to planting in
strawberries again thi3 fall. I have
two acres planted last winter for
spring of 1900. The varieties we
planted were Clyde and Brandywine.

Carrylnx tha Mail In Africa.
The'mail service of to-day in the)
new countries of Southwest Africa is1
naturally primitive in nature, but it
is tho best that can ba employed nn
der existing circumstances. The na
tives do the work acceptably. They
wander from one station to another,
deliver tha mail iutrnsted to them
and pick np other packages for far
ther distribution. A basket, carried
on the head or on the back, is the
postman's receptacl e for his postal re
sponsibilities. The few white men
employed in this service make the
work easier by carrying the mail in
two bags of equal weight, suspended
from the ends of . a pole swan across
tho shoulder. The only available
means of transporting the mail across
tho desert is on the back of the camel,
whose wonderful powers of endurance
enable him alone to accomplish the!
tusk. For weeks the camel can plod '
along the glowing sand, without a!
drop of water, in the torrid heat and
loaded with hundreds of pounds of
shipments. He travels with tremen-!
dous f peed, covering the- main postal
route between Tuggurt and ' Biskra,'
Algeria, in something like nine hours
a distance of 123.75 miles.
Feeding Vonne Chickens.
Daring the first twenty-four or
thirty-six hours after hatching young
chickens require no feeding. During
jho instant in which the chick makes
its finareffort to pnsh out of the shell
it swallows a portion of the egg,
which nature, in one of its wise ways,
has placed there for the chicken, and
the little fellow is fully supplied for
his first day and a hall's advent into
his now life.
For the first few days there can be
given no better food to the young
chicks than stale bread steeped in
milk. All fook given for the first few
weeks should be cooked. Granulated
oats,. with the hull removed, make one
of the best feeds known for young
chickens. Coarsely ground meal,
mixed with a little bran, aud cooked
so as to crumble nicely, is also good
and easily obtained. Young chickens
also require meet and green food in
some shape. A good plan ia to boil a
piece of fresh beef until well done and
cut np a sinaU quantity each day and
mix with the'brqad. In the absence
of beef fresh, soft bones can be ground
with a bone cutter, or beat np finely
with a hammer, and fed at intervals
gf every two or three days. Some
dealers keep on hand supplies of
ground bone for feeding young chicks.
The green food can be prepared by
cntting whaat, barley or' oats and
clipping it np fine. The chicks will
eat it greedily. There should at "all
timet be a constant supply of such'
food as chickens would likely obtain
through the assistance of the old
mother hen if allowed to run at large
on well kept premises, where a variety
of all these things oould be had. Un
der such conditions the meat supply
is furnished by the old -hen constant
ly scratching for bugs and worms. It
is from such a source that the muscle
and bone is formed, without which no
chicken can thrive and attain size.
The finely ground sand scattered
over the runs will furnish all the grit
needed as grinders in the craw for
rendering the food in digestible
shape. Atlanta Journal.
Not a Keceiit AijitiU mi.
The goad roals movement in this
;ountry 13 not ot reient origin, as '
many who are following aud agitating
it may think. In the earlier part of
the cantury an agitation for good roads
was kept up for nearly fifty years, and
had among its leaders such men as
Henry Clay and John Calhoun. Thi3
movement resulted iuthe Government
taking a sufficient interest in it to pro
vide for a national turnpike through
the leading Eastern cities to those ia
the West. About the time tho move
ment was well under way, the rail
roads, as msans of transportation, be
came so prominent as to cause the
road work to stop. Itailroad building
has practically reached its limit in this
country now, though there will be ex
tensions of the system gradually, but
the good, roads movement which they
stopped in the earlier days is now re
ceiving fresh impetus from the lessons
that good steel highways have taught
the people, and because of the neces
sity ol good highways as feeders to
the immense railroad sy3tem3 of the
country. Instead of having one kind
of good road to the detriment of the
other, it is very probable that the
work of the League of American Wheel
men, in conjunction with the Farm
ers' National Congress and other agri
cultural organizations, will result in
the work of road building being taken
up where it wa3 left off some years
&&o and completed as far as the neces
sities of the country demand. To do
this will require millions of dollars
and much patient effort, but th9 good
roads agitators are confident that they
can convince the legislators and the
people that improved highways are an
economic necessity.

"The report that the
Orleans is
said an. old sea oaptain now In tho
government short service, '"seonis to
have grown out of the fact that ber
water ballast ros n trifle light. Tne
remedy ia simply letting in more wa
ter, and the incident Is chiefly valua
ble as showing the Immense tuiperi-.
ority or Americau-inint snips, ttaier
ballast on a modern war vessel is n
good joke. Ballasting Is a corrective
measure Intended to overcome too
much buoyancy. If a ship is properly
constructed it oughtn't to be over
buoyant and oughtn't to need ballast
of any kind. The presence of such a
thing Is conclusive evidence that the
designer made a mistake in bis calcu
lations. Every inch of an armed
cruiser should be occupied by some
thing useful, and the space taken tip
by the water tanks is dead waste. The
New Orleans, as you will remember.
was built by the Armstorngs for the
Brazilian service, and while she is a
fine craft, she Is distinctly inferior
technically to those constructed In this
country. None of the American-made
Bhips carries a pint of water-ballast."

How to Go Upatatra.
A physician who declares that but
very few people know how to walk up
stairs properly, gives, these instruc
tions: TJsually a person will tread on
the ball of his foot . in taking each
step. This is very tiresome and wear
ing on the muscles, as it throws tire
entire suspended weight of the body
on the muscles of the legs and feet.
In talking upstairs your feet should
be placed, squarely down on the step,
heel and all, and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
Iu this way there is no strain upon
any particular muscle, but each one
is doing its duty in a natural manner.

- The Antl-Knt AsUation In Brief.
Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desirable;
thev economize time and force in
transportation of products, rednc
wear aud tear oa horses, harness and
vehicles, and enhance the market
value of real estate.
Those localities where good roads
have beeu buiit are becoming richer,
more prosperous and more thickly
settled, while those which do notpos
sess these advantages in transporta
tion are either at a standstill or are
becoming poorer and more sparsely
settled.
Ltife on a farm often becomes, as a
result of "bottomless roads," isolated
and barren of social enjoyments and
pleasures, and country people in some
communities suffer such great disad
vantage that ambition is checked,
energy weakened, and industry paral
yzed. The good roads "movement is mak
ing progress in Illinois. A series of
district conventions, each embracing
several counties, will be held through
out the State in September, under the
auspices of the State aud Inter-State
Good Eoads Association. At each of
these a sample road will be built by
an expert engineer, road miking ma
chinery shown, and addresses made.
The difference between good and
bad roads is often equivalent to the
difference betwcea profit and loss.'
Good roads have a money value to
farmers as well as a political and
social value, and leaving out convent
ence, comfort, social aud refined in
flnences, which good roads always en
hance, and looking at them onlv from
the "almighty dollar" side, they are
found to pny handsome dividends each
rear.
Interesting statistics in reference to
the migration of the Jews have just
been published iu London. Thtre
are now four and a half millions of
Jews in Eussia, over a million in
Austria, 150,090 in England and 930,
000 in the United States. This indi
cates a gradnal growth for England
and the state', for iu the beginning
of the eeatury the:e were only 14,000
Jews in England and 1,000 in the

It is unpleasant news to near that
Ioch Leven. the most romantic among
the lawe of Scotland. Is in danger of
becoming covered with an obnoxious
weed, which is spreading in an alarm
ing manner, to the- dismay of all con
cerned in the fishing interests ot the
loch. For some two years past the
presence cf this member of the ana
charis tribe of water plants has been
known, but no satisfactory explanation
of the method by which it found its
way into the waters has yet been ar
rived at. One Ingenious authority has
expnsssed the opinion that it was In
troduced! with some goldfish which
were purchased and turned out into
the loch. The fish were bought from
hawkers, in globes, In which it was
supposed there were supplies of this
foreign weed. Others atfsert that it
was bought into the vicinity by an
American timber ship. Be this as it
may, the Inconvenience to which ths
ever-Increasing masses of weed grive
rise is very considerable. Angler.? and
others are viewing with keen interest
the steps that are being taken to de
stroy the encroaching plant.

A defense of the view that the new
lentury begins with 1900 ceuios t
lave simmered down to the stats-
cent that onr prtnent system cf de-
iignating the jearB is not like another
system used by certain rer?ous for"
certain other purposes; and that if
that other system had been extended,
it should have been, to the narcing
of years, the new eeutnry would begin
twelve months before it really will.
U this is undoubtedly true, but, what
pray, has it to do with the case as it
is ? Facts are one thing; might-aave-been's
and should-be's are an
other, and failure to distinguish be
tween the two leads to much waste tf
:iine and temper. Beyond question,
"1839" m?ans the one thousand eijbt
liundred and ninety-ninth year of the
Christian era, and the next to the last
fear of the nineteenth century, te
rond question, too, 1900 will close
that centnry and 1C01 Vill start the
aext one. SVe are not denying that
to have had a year 0 would Lave been
1 good idea, but we do assert that no
uch year was ever recognized, and
that none ever can be wituoat chang
ing every date in all tur raodern
.nerature, historical and other. And
that would be a terrible bother, not
io be seriously contemplated by any
tane man.
