Joseph H. Gilder. Comfort for the Children. COLLEGE BOYS. THEIR CHANCES IN BUSINESS (Selected.) Very many of the blunders of chidren and much of their awkartl-J ness come from requiring them to ue the tools and belongings of grown persons. Put a kife and fork de signed for an adult into the hands of a ehilil and see how clumsily he uses them. If Ins bands were laroe enough to wear a No. 7 or 8 or U glove, he would have no trouble. Fry him with a tiny knife and fork, and see how readily the little bauds master the implements. Put him into a chair, the seat of which is eighteen or nineteen inches from the floor the usual height of an ordinary cusir seat how can a child throe or for feet high sit com fortably in such a chair? Ilia legs dangle, he hitches round to And an easy resting place for his head , his hand-', ids buck ami hitches in vain.

If you have not been into a kinder garten, go ar.d see how happy the little children are and how graceful, with furniture made just the right size for them. Yon will come home, and if you have a little child you will not be content until he has a Chair to fit him, and a table to sit at with his playthings outspread, ot just the riL'ht height, and a knifr and fork and a brush and comb not too laree fur hirn to handle eaU. These outfits for children are inex pensive, and few investments give larger returns in content and com fort, in grace and ease of movement.

Andrew Carnegie'f assertion that the college graduate "has not the slightest chance of entering busi ness at twenty against the boy who swept the of lice or began as shop ping clerk at fourteen," is backed by Henry Clewy, who says: "The college man is not the succesfful man in business affairs. I do not employ them in my banking ofhee. None need apply, for i tbiuk they have been spoiled for business life." This is very sweeping, bnt Chauncey Depew, J. WT. Alexander, of the Equitable Life, Daniel HeaM, of the Home Insurance Company, Seth low, Ikayton Ives, and other business men take the opposite view, l he Boston Journal comment ing on the matter says : "There can be named sixty-five college graduates who mostly have their headquarters in New York, including filteen prominent railroad otlicials, eighteen bankers, ten manufacturers, ten merchants, seven heads of leading insurance companies, five heads of noted pub lishing houses. Alexander T. Stew art, John Jacob Astor, Frederick Hillings and Levi C. Wade, may bo named among many others who nave con ti oiled large business af fairs; also Charles F. Adams, Aus tin Corbiu and Piesident Bishop and Watrons, ot the New York, and New Heaven railroad. Joseph K. Hawley, who managed the Phila delphia ceuteuuial exposition, and Senaior Palmer, president of the world'. Columbian fair, are college graduates. Di-sjme tho reman; ot llojace Gieeiey that "ot all horned c-ittle deliver me 'from a college graduate,' " tho staff of The Trib une, taken altogether, quite b. lies his statement. So does the staff of auy large newspaper today. Henry J. Raymond, Gerard Uullock, Jas. Brooks and W. C. Bryant. William Bross, Joseph Medill, George D. Prentice and Henry W. Grady may be named among tiitv prominent journalists who were college grad uates. Asa matter of fact, ihe training of the eellege-bied man does not unfit him lor beginning at the bottom, like the boy who sweeps the oflice and Ihes the locomotive. Chauncey Depew savs that hun dreds Lave so begun within the last five j ears in the various depait meuts of railway won;, and such soon outstrip the uneducated young man". The fact is, a cellege man will be successful in any line if ho has it in him to conquer success, and pre cisely the same thing may be said of the man who never saw the in side of a college. Success in life is very largely the result of will power, energetic methods and knowledge. V UL these a man succeeds, whether in was educated at college or picked up his education by general readiug and observatiun out in the world. The right sort of youngster wdl make his training and knowledge acquired at college an advantage to him in business or professional Jifo, and a young man of the same stitnp who never went to college will m some way get the substantial points of the mental equipment enjoyed b.s the other. This is the reasonable view this vexed question. Poultry on the Farm. (Selected.) Most farmer corsider poultry on the f&rrn more of nuisance thn a benefit and on'y tolerste fowl on the farm because ihe old ornn likes to have tbtm around, write- A t Betav, in the Farmer and Br edt r. Such men either forget or ignore the fact that the good b. ja?e-wife and h r chickens supply most of the uecessa" Ties, such as coffee, tea, ugar, etc. Were it not for th;s despised source of supply the husband would have to provide the hard cash for the "store goods" or go without tneoj and one that lives 'in a farm knows fist thtre are times when it is diffi cult to get ready m ney. But fresh es and poultry will always bring the c ith no difference what time in ' he x ear. But there is a ciass of progressive farmers who have di9coverd and wi'l acknowledge that poaltry is of great valne on the farm, and evtry year we find a few more going into the business and trying to ''grade U ," as they call it, by having a few thoroughbed roo-ters. We 8na a few more willing to take poultry papers and to learn from others that they made it a success, br.t it is very hard to et some people out of the oH rut. "Yoa can't teM me anything about raising chickens, the ' Id dung hill is just as good as your thoroughbred. The trees are good enough for hens to roost in." The hen is kicked about if she come e into the barn, and all she set.3 to eat is what she t-tenl-; thn if she don't lay "Chiekhes don't pay.'' Try bnildine n hen ho'jse, one that is comfortable and wrif, slve the hens the smi enre other stock get, supply t.iein with green food, such Hi turnips, onions and potatoes, sometimes cooked and at others simply chorped or mashed; plenty of charcoal, line, gravel or broken shells all of which the farmer can get with a little trouble generally on his own firm, and then with plenty of milk and fresh water, my word f r it, they will pay better than any stock you have n the farm.

Editor Constitution I desire to comaiend your editorial concerning Sundav observance in a Christian city. You are right when yoa say the working people do not war.t Su -day amusements. The people who clamor for Sur day amasements in the name of the poor had their prototype in a rather sorry fellow who, sorne eighteen hun dred years age, complained that a gift to his lord should have been sold and given to the poor One of his acquaintances said of bis mur muring: "This h said not that he cared for the poor but because he carried the bag and keot vibat was pot therein '' His name wa Judas, and it is ceditahle to him that realizing the depth of his mean ness and hypocrisy he had tho grace to hang himself. I have vet to bear a man elaraor ine for amusements for the poor who did not have an interest in the gate receipt, or else was seeking backing for his own lo?e behayior on the Sabbath day. Working people, above all other classes, are interested in the strict observance of the Sibbath. For when we have loose Sahbath usages they will have to do one more da V work in each week, and will contin ue to receive the same wages. II any of them complain that thev are thus forced to give seven days' work for six days' wages they will be told that they can do that or qui;. And besides all this, men of all classes need to stop one day in seven and tbiik of nobler things than earthly diversions or emplot raent, otherwise the religion which restrains the avarice of the employer and inspires the indastry of the working una will perish from th etth, and that will be fatal to al! part ies We of the south should be espec ially zealous of our Sabbath fr the American Sabbath has scarcely a t old upon the people of any other section- It is disappearing corth and west.

Whitehead & Co. (Hor. Charlotte Observer.) True farming consists in earning a living by the sweat of the brow, (the Diviue edict), bur making money farming is to practice close economy, take care of what you maLe, se'l more than you buy, make your land hotter every year, by rotatiug your crop?, making more manures and judiciously laying and using commercial fertilizers, Need ing peas, clover and grasses, and by terracing and ditching the lands so as to retain all the soil and the manure applied. Read ami study. Fanning as a profession should N studied. Keep accurate accounts of all your income and expendituies, attend to all the minutLe 01 details ot tho farm. Do not give one crop all ttie attention, no one field all the nnnuie, to the neglect of the other crops and the remainder of the fa m Don't keep the horses rolling fat and the bogs d'ad poor, but keep ail rho stock in good condition and they will pay well. A bore miit be well fed to do work. I am one among the few farmer. that believe that cows and sheep well fed on home-made feed will give remunerative returns in thoir 111 ci ease, miik, but or and wool, and the manure will pay tor the ft ed if they are well stalled and the si alls kept well tittered. It wdl not cost ,t!! moie to raise a good Jersey r Holsteili (tow and a Southdown s'lot-p than "0;ub ami they are worth tw;ce much. Even farmer should ia lu s own stock and his own provisions, and not depend on buying the.se and ail his farm and family needs from his cotton crop; hut to raise stock we mut first provide pastures and feed before we get the stock, fur they wdl not pay on bought corn aud forage. If wo had practiced this policy since the war, cotton would be a good price now, and we would have boon a prosperous people. The average cotton crop is worth two hundred and fifty million dollars Multiply that by twenty-six years since the wai and you have f he enormous sum of seven billions one-sixth of the estimated wealth of the United States in 1880. 'Ihe .dan of selling all that is mane ami Duying an mat is con sumed on the farm has tended, as we all row see, to over-production and low prices for the provision crops. Hence tin wealth of the country his drifted to the towns and cities. Ctly structures tend to increase the taxable wealth of a country but not the material or productive wealth. Wheras, money used in developing our mineral and agricultural resources would tend to increase our productive- wealth. We all admit that there i noth ing new in thee statements, for we farmers have known that all the time, for we have had line upon line, but the uih price of cotton has deluded as, and now we are reminded of that old proverb, "He that being often reproved hardeueth his neck, shall suddenly destroy ed and that without remedy." O-ir farmers in this section have realizs'd the situati n and from sad experience have felt the hard times, and every one has solved the ques tion for himS'df and with renewed energy has gone to wcrk to pn old debts and to be more careful about contracting new ones, by living more economically if possible, by buying one-half th fertilizers of former years, by decreasing the cot ton croj) and increasing the oro Visiou crop, by raising more stock, enploying less labor, working loss i )or land, by cuiiivating the got d I 7 land better, by buying ten hor.-es and mules this year in the territory that bought seventy-five last year. Now if Providence smiles upon us thi year with good seasons, health and strength, we are going to work out the problem, pay onr debts and make a living if cotton is only six cents. Some of the old blood of 18G sttil runs in our veins. These are our sentiments, it don't make any difference who is elected President whether Hill or Cleve land; but it enator Hill had stop ped a be went through on his re turn from his Southern tou. and given us some advice on these sub jects we would have rolled hsni up a big vote. But I am getting off of 1 Vs. m Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE farming and running into jxiltt e, though it look", these time, that whenever we start our plough t bey are into politics before th-y gt to the row. The political fever i in the white folk at.d the darkies and I believe it is getting into the mub-s for they are more contrary th year than ever before it seenis that everyone want- to go his own, way. May be they don't w r t. make any more i of, oo'ton. I ' at we never discuss politic in onr A I lianct, but confine ourselves to tin above kindred subjects, -ncb a wtiat crops need nitrogen and what potash; the cheapest and too-. speedy method of retorvig m n-orit lands; the nest no-rbi'di ot p' anting and cultivating crop, d nuniiit i cial fertilizers per m merit 'v nnorovr the lands, etc . Now if you sc. any of our promi nent Alliance brethren that mh give a call and make u a -peeeV on these subject s, we will listen at tentively for three hours or more and throw in a good home made dinner to boot. Bnt we don't know much about theOcala and St. Loir platforms and the Third party jus? now, and wo are trusting thes. things ti) ('apt. Alexander. d"rt Simpson and our other Alliance Congressmen, and if t'cy c;'n giv any relief it will be gladly received, but with us it is toot bog cr d . and we have determined to ro t awhile, for we are afraid that st m vation will como before nation ) legislation can bring us the needed relief.
