Three Kinds of Farmers.
Farmers' Home Journal.
There are three kinds of farmers—
those who sneer at agricultural papers,
those who expect the agricultural papers to think for them, and those who
read an agricultural paper for principles
which they apply in the exercise of
their own sound judgment. For example, a farmer reads in an agricultural paper an article on harrowing corn.
It is argued that corn should he harrowed until it is four inches high, that
by so doing the weeds may be killed by
the least labor, the corn hoed in the
most effective way, and the surface
thoroughly protected against drouth.
This doctrine is perfectly sound, and
yet, if it were followed literally, under
all circumstances, the farmer might
seriously damage his crop: for example,
if his land was foul with old cornstalks,
or was rough and badly plowed, or if
his harrow was heavy and straight-
toothed; if the weeds were three or
four inches high he might, even with a
good slanting-toothed harrow, be only
cultivating the weeds instead of killing
them, and any harrow that would kill
the weeds would then destroy the
stand of corn.
The principle of harrowing corn is
correct, but the right application of the
principle is the thing for the farmer to
determine. In other words, no agricultural paper can think for the farmer.
If he does not weigh aud consider as
well as read he might just as well not
have a paper. So it is with deep and
shallow and early and late plowing,
with the proper way of making hay and
feeding cattle; in fact, with everthing
on the farm. All that an agricultural
paper can do is to collect facts and experience and enunciate general principles, to apply any of which requires
exercise and judgment. It is about as
bad to do the right thing at the wrong
time as to do the wrong thing. It is
the same way in following the example
of other farmers. "Circumstances
alter cases. ** What is good policy this
year may be bad uext, and no man is
wise enough to tell farmers in detail
just how they should do this or that.
It is always safe to lay dowu principles,
tp give expedience and interpret it, to
point out the conditions to he secured
in order to produce the best crops, but
nothing that a paper can say will do
away with the necessity of every reader
running his own thinker.

Marsh-Hawks.
Most country boys, I fancy, know the
marsh-hawk. It is he you see flying
low over the fields,beating about bushes
and marshes and dipping over the
fences, with his attention directed to
the ground beneath him. He is a cat
on wings. He keeps so low that the
birds and mice do not see him till he is
fairly upon them. The hen-hawk
swoops down upon the meadow-mouse
from his position high in air, or from
the top of a dead tree: but the marsh-
hawk stalks him and comes suddenly
upon him from over the fence, or from
behind a low bush or tuft of grass. He
is nearly as large as the hen-hawk, but
has a much longer tail. "When 1 was a
boyl used to call him the long-tailed
hawk. The male is a blush slate-color;
tho female a reddish brown like the
hen hawk, with a white rump.
Unlike the other hawks, they nest on
the ground in low,thick marshy places.
For several seasons a pair have nested
in a bushy marsh a few miles back of
me, near the house of a farmer friend
of mine. Two years ago he found the
nest, but when I got over to see it the
uext week, It had been robbed, probably by some boys iu the neighborhood.

It would be hard for a pors m who
cares for good reading- to make a better
investment than a year's subscription
to The Century Magazine. No regiou
ia too remote, no expense too great, if
it will only produce what the- Century's
readers waul. Tills is the policy that
has made it. as tUo Pt'U Mall Budget,
of .TjOrdon, says, " By far the best of
the magazines, English or American.'*
The November number begins a new
volume ami contains the first chapters
of a powerful novel of New Yoi-ksociety
called "Sweet Bulls Out of Tiini', "
written by .Mrs. Bui-ton H-irrison, the
author of "The AiigloinanUics." In
this story the fashionable wedding, the
occupants of the boxes iu the Metropolitan Opera House, the "smart set'"
in the. country house are faithfully reflected, and the illustrations by Charles
Dana Gibson, Lief's well known cartoonist, are as brilliant as the novel.
In this November number begins also
a great series of papers on. "The Bible
and Science,"" opening with ' VDoo* the
Bible contain Soieutiffe Errors? " by
Prof. Schields, of Princeton, who takes
decided ground that the Bible does not
contain scientific errors of any moment, and who mostinterestiugly states
the case from his point of view. Other
articles in this series will ineludu one
in the December (Christm.is ) number,
" The Effect of Scientific Study upon
Religious Beliefs.'*
in important series of letters that
passed between General Sherman aud
his broth.'V Senator John Sherman is
also printtll in November, which number contains also contributions from
the most distinguished .vriters, including" an article by James Russell Lowell,
which was not quite completed at the
time of his death. The suggestion
■which Bishop Potter miykes in. the
November Century as. to t\-hat eo,u.ld be
done with the World's Bail* if it were
opened on S,i*.n.d"tj"-, is one \vhioh seems
tho most practical solution of the problem yet offered.
The December Century is to be a
great Christmas number,—full of
Christmas stories, Chmtmas poems,
and Christmas pictures,—and in it will
begin the first chapters of a striking
novel of life in Colorado, *'* Benetits Forgot," by "Wolcott Balestier, who wrote

THE WOOING OF "OLD TIPPECANOE."
The KentuoJsy Girl Whom He Loved but
Who Preferred Another.
Mi*. J*. B. Bosworth, brother to Mrs.
Mary L. Todd, tells the following interesting story:
Gen. William Henry Harrison, the
grandfather of our chief executive,visited Frankfort, Ky., when 20 years of
age, and there surrendered his heart
to the bright eyes of Miss Monarchy
Fen wick:, one of the bewitching maidens of the infant city. He did not
prosper in his wooing, but the impression was, to a tender degree, lasting.
Upon taking his leave he put a ring
upon her linger with these unconsciously prophetic words: "Monarchy,
when I am president of the United
States send this ring to me with any
request you may have to make, and I
will grant whatever you ask if it is in
my power." Smiling at the jest she
took the valuable circlet and placed it
among her treasures. When she uext
saw her old admirer she was the wife
of Judge Samuel Todd, a wealthy and
promineut citizen, aud had become a
fatuous housekeeper of wide hospitality. Ho had been elected president of
the United States, aud was en route,
via Frankfort, to his* inaugural ceremonies. Accepting her invitation to
dine, the distinguished guest was seen
at his best. The presidential suite
comprised twelve persons, some in
carriages, others on horseback, and
the village was stirred throughout at
the invasion.
Among other good things on the
table was a molasses-cured ham which
had been buried for nine years in wood
ashes. President Harrison partook
freely of this ham, and pronounced it
the sweetest he had ever tasted. Calling her two boys to his side, ho put an
arm around each audsaid; "Monarchy,
here are your hoys,bnt where are your
girls?'* She had no girls. Her husband's daughter by a previous marriage was in after vears known as
"Sister Gabrielle" of "St. Catherine's
Academy at Lexington. The ring,
which, is a cluster of seven garnet
stones set in gold, is now in the possession of Mrs. Mary L. Todd, daughter-in-law of the Monarchy who was
the sweetheart of the lirst President
Harrison.
The house where the dinner was
given is on Belle Point, the spot being
known as Lake Park, and is in sight
of the place where Gen. Frank P. Blair
and Montgomery Blair were born. On
■an old tree may "still be seen the initials of William Henry Harrison, cut
by himself.—Cincinnati Comvicrcitd-
Gazelte. •
"Why He Flagged tho Train.
One of Michigan's railroad companies decided to establish a freight and
ticket office at R., a small flag station
iu the southern part of the state, and
the grocery-keeper of this hamlet was
comn-tissiaued as agent. The first
morning he awoke about 5 o'clock,
and, hearing the "limited" whistle in
the distance, hurriedly slid into his
trousers, and, without stopping to finish dressing, dashed down the stairs,
flag in hand, ran out upon the plat^
form and began wildly waving the
flag across the track." The train
stopped; the conductor alighted, and,
seeing uo one but the agent in sight,
turned to him with the inquiry:
"Where's your passengers?*"
"Haven't any," replied- the agent, as
he made another grab • to 'keep • his
trousers from falling down.
"Then whv in thunder did vou stop
us?"
"W—-well, I—I—thought perhaps
there might be some oue who would
want to get off here."—Detroit Fred
Priss.
Song.
'•Come liitltef, come hither! The broom was In
blossom all over yon rise.
There went a wide murmur ot brown bees
about it with songs from the wood.
We shall never be younger?0, love, letus forth
for the world 'neath our eyes,
A3-, the world is made young e"eii ns we, and
riglitf air is her youth and right good.
"Then there fell the great yearning upon me
'    that never yet went into words:
While  lovesome  and   moansome   thereon
spake and faltered the dove to the dove.
And I came at her calling, "Inherit, inherit,
and sins with tho birds';
I went up to the wood with the child of my
heart and the wife of my love.
"0* pure! 0, pathetic! "Wildhyacinths drank it,
the dream-light apace.
Not a leaf moved at all 'neath tho blue, they
hung wniting-for messages kind;
Tall cherry trees dropped their white blossom
that drifted no whit from its place,
For the south very far out to sea hud the
lulling low voice of the wind.
"And the child's dancing foot gave us part in
ravishment almost a pain,
An infinite  tremor of life a fond murmur
that cried out 011 time.
Ah, brief, must attend in tbe doing, and spend
itself sweetly in vain.
And the promise be only fulfilment to lean
from the' height of its prime.
" 'We shall never be younger; nay, mode me
not, fancy, none call from you tree.
They have thrown me the world they went
over, went up, and, alas! for my part
I am left to grow old and to grieve and to
change: but they change not with me;
They will never be older, the child of my love
and the wife of my heart,'"
—Jean Ingelow.
Deodorizing   Onions   and  Cabbage.
If you will eat onions why don't you
take the smell out of them when it ean
be done so easily? Before they are
cooked they maj- be soaked for a little
while in salt water to help remove the
strong odor, and while they are cooking place in the pot a piece of bread
tlie size of an egg or larger tied in a
linen bag. Tins* may also be used for
cabbage or any other vegetables with
penetrating odors.
HE  WAS  A   KINDLY   DRUMMER.
But His Attempt to   Play  the  "tfinister-
Ing-Angel Act T\*as Misplaced.
The drummer was smiling softly to
himself in the corner of the car seat,
says the Detroit Free Press.
"What is it now?" asked a friend of
his who had come on at the last station.
"Odd, very odd," said the drummer.
"Did you notice the man who got off
as you came on? The tall oue with
the red-leather sachel?"
"I noticed the sachel."
"Well, he's a brick." He came on
board about a hundred miles down the
road looking very much broke up, and
sat dowu across the car from me. He
hadn't been there more than half an
hour when he took a black bottle out
of his valise, looked at it a moment
eagerly and put it back again. In a
few minutes he did it over again, only
holding it longer in his hands. The
third time he took it out he pulled the
cork, replaced it and shut it up in his
valise. By this time I was especially
curious and began to watch him close-
"The fourth time he took it out of
the valise he opened it and set it in the
corner, where he could gaze at it.
Then every two or three minutes he
would take it up, start it toward his
lips and put it back again. Of course,
by this time I knew that the man was
lighting the devil in him and was trying not to drink tlie stuff in the bottle,
though he was thirsty for it and every
effort at resistance was a torture to
him. Finally when he had made a
desperate effort to overcome the temptation, I went over to him.
"'Excause me,'" I said, "'I am glad
to see you trying to conquer your old
enemy, and art: deserving of all encouragement. I hope you will let me
assist you"'—and I reached for the
bottle—".-by throwing the vile stuff
out of the wiudow.1"
"•I wish to thunder yon would,
stranger," he exclaimed gratefully.
"'It's water, and if I get much drier in
this blamed hot car I'll be tempted to
take a dose of it before I get to a place
where I cau get something lit to
drink.'"
Patti Sang for the Parrot.
In her castle at Craig-y-Nos Mme.
Patti has a §6,000 parrot, which she
cherishes and pets as if it were a
child.
One day there went to interview
Patti a young man who had traveled
long and far to view the beautiful
Craig-y-Nos p.ilace.
"Mme. Patti will he here in a mo-
meut," said the door a     udant.
Just then there was a rustle of
skirts and Mme. Patti swept into a
room adjoining.
In a minute the most beautiful,
birdlike notes rose upon the air, unmistakably from Patti's throat.
"She is singing for me," said the delighted listener to himself, "and she is
too modest to come in here and sing
directly before me. She wants me to
hear her as she sings at home. O.what
joy to have this privilege!"
At this moment the heavy draperies
were pulled aside and the attendant
said: "
"You may wait upon Mine. Patti
now. She has been giving a short lesson to her parrot. She teaches him
every day. This way, sir, if you
please."
