AN EXPENSIVE DEATH7 The Scottish miser who blew out the candle that stood beside his death-bed, saying that "moonlight was good enough to die by," had a worthy rival in the economical French officer who thus explained to a wondering Englishman how he contrived to live upon a pension of five francs per week : "See you, mine friend, it is veree simple ven you do know it. On Sunday I dine wid one friend of mine, and den J do eat so much dat I vant no more till Yednesday. Den, on Vednesday, I do buy one great big dish of tripe, and dat make me so sick dat I can eat not'inar till Sundav again !" Even this masterpiece of frugality, however, is fairly matched by the exploit recorded of a rich but parsimonious English merchant who had been ordered abroad for the good of his health. But his health seemed to get very little good by the change, for he came back much worse than he went, and was thought to be actually dying when the ship came in sight of Southampton, the port for which she was bound. Hearing this, the captain went hastily down to see if anything could be done for his passenger; but the latter (whose temper was evidently not at all improved by his approaching end) received him very sullenly, and would hardly utter a word. At length the invalid asked, abruptly: "How much do they charge a man for landing on this pier ?" "A penny" (two cents), was the reply. "And" how much is the charge, then, for landing a corpse ?" inquired the dying man, with undisguised eagerness. "Two shillings" (fifty cents), answered the surprised captain. "Well," cried the invalid, with a burst of righteous indignation, "if you suppose, my friend, that I'm such a fool as to pay one shilling and eleven pence extra for dying, you're very much mistaken! Sooner than let myself be imposed upon to that extent, 111 recover!" And so he did. More Irish Wit.?Some time ago, while I was trading in a village store, one of the clerks came to the junior partner, who was waiting on me, and said: "Please slep to the desk. Pat Flynn wants to settle his bill, and wants a receipt." The merchant was evidently annoyed. "Why, what does he want of a receipt ?" he said ; "we never give one. Simply cross his account off the book. That is receipt enough." "S/\ T fnlfl him." answered the clerk, "but he is not satisfied. You had better see him." So the proprietor stepped to the desk, and, after greeting Pat with a "Good morning," said: "You want to settle your bill do you ?" Pat replied in the affirmative. "Well," said the merchant, "there is no need of my giving you a receipt. See! I will cross your account off the book ;" and suiting the action to the word, he drew his pencil diagonally across the account. That is as good as a receipt." "And do ye mane that that settles it ?" exclaimed Pat. "That settles it," said the merchant. "And ye're sure ye'll never be afther asking me for it again?" "We'll never ask you for it again," said the merchant decidedly.' "Faith, thin," said Pat, "I'll be aflher kapin' me money in me .pocket, for I haven't paid it." The merchant's face flushed angrily as he * retorted: ' "Oh, well, I can rub that out!" "Faith now, and I thought that same," said Pat. It is needless to say that Pat got his receipt. WANTED IT ^POSTPONED. A judge in one of the Southern States called on the governor. "Your excellency," said the visitor, "I have called on you for the purpose of exciting your executive sympathy." "Well," the governor answered. "You, remember," said the judge, "that one Homie I. Buck, who was sentenced by me, is to be hanged tomorrow." "Yes." "Well, I have come to ask for a respite for a few days." "Have you discovered new evidence bearing on his case?" the governor asked. "No, your excellency." "Does the man say that he has not had sufficient preparation ?" "Oh, no." "Then why should the respite be granted?" "Well, it is just this: He was all right and perfectly willing to . die until day before yesterday, when an extremely painful boil rose?I think that is about the proper way to express it?arose on the back of his neck. It is so nainful and so sensi tive to the touch that he cannot stand the pressure of the rope. He fears the agony would make him sick. He regrets it very much and requests me to have the execution postponed until he is better able to stand it." "But," said the governor, "in the sight of the law the presence of a boil on the neck is not sufficient cause for postponement. Have you looked the matter up ?" "Yes, your excellency, but can find no precedent. However, this should make no difference in a day of surprising innovation." "But my dear judge, the law does not recognize surprising innovation. Law must be of smooth and equable temper, and not given to fits and starts." "Ab, your excellency, but it is not the province of law to inflict pain, and I don't know of anything more painful than an irritated boil. To tell you the truth, I don't believe the fellow can stand it." "I reckon he'll have to," the governor replied. "But he simply cannot. I tell you, sir, that it will endanger his life?or I mean that he can't endure it." "That may be, but I think that it would be advisable for him to try." * The judge went to the jail. The prisoner came to the bars, and anxiously asked for the governor's decision. "He has decided against you," said the judge. "Did you tell him how painful this thing is?" "Yes, I explained, but it didn't make any difference." "He is what I call a hard-hearted man," said the prisoner, "and if I had my way I wouldn't be hanged at all. Whew, this thing is nearly killing me, and I just know I can't stand that rope." He did stand it, though, and when the trap fell, he uttered no exclamation of pain, and murmured no complaint. The Popular Plan.?One cannot only buy everything, from a cookstoveto a coflin, on the weekly or monthly payment plan, but a Detroiter has applied the principle to a still higher object. A certain young gentle man interviewed him the other day 111 regard to the hand of his daughter, and the father heard him out and replied : "Well, if Mary is willing and shall not object, I intend to give her $10,000 as a dowry." "What a noble and generous father !" gasped the young 4/< man. "But I shall adopt the installment plan," continued the father; "instead of giving her the sum in a lump, I shall pay $3 per week for sixty-four years. That will not only prevent her from speculation and loss, but come much easier for me."?Detroit Free Press. A Brave Answer.?Pat has been in the service of a militia general for a number of j years, and is on terras of such intimuncy j with the soldiers that he dares to be witty at [ his master's expense. A few days ago the general was discussing the possibility of war with his coachman, and after casting some reflections upon the courage of his retainer, he asked, "Pat, what would you do in case a war did break out ?" j Pat thought a moment.

An Interesting Talk with the "Modern Joan of Arc." Everybody has heard of Mrs. Mary E. Lease, of Kansas. Her connection with the Farmers' Alliance, and the recent political iprising in Kansas has probably made her he most famous woman on earth. She has ust been delivering a series of lectures in Georgia at the Lithia Springs Chatauqua, ind while stopping at the Kimball House in 11 Atlanta, not long ago, she was interviewid by a representative of the Atlanta Constitution. The following is from The Constitution of August 2: When a representative of The Constitution ?alled on her at the Kimball, yesterday af:ernoon, she had just received a bundle of etters which had been forwarded here. The size of her correspondence shows how jreat a burden leadership imposes, but she loes not seem to feel the weight of it, and lid not seem to feel the fatigue of a long ourney. Naturallyher appearance at Cha:auqua was a subject of remark, and her ittention was called to the fact that she was :o speak only two days before Mr. Ingalls. This opened at once the foundation of her feeling. "I wish he had come on the same day," said she, "for if it had been so, and I could lave spoken first, I think I could have shown ;he audience where he got his speech. His iddress on the problems of the nineteenth ;entury is the speech I delivefed three >ears ago in the union labor and greenbackirs' movement." Some reference was made to Mr. Ingalls's illusion to himself as "a statesman out of a ob," when Mrs. Lease said with some earnestness : "He is out a job, but I don't see inything to authorize his claim to statesmanship. He cannot point to a single piece of egislation which he was instrumental in sussing for the good of the people, which vould entitle him to be called a statesman." In reference to the saying that Ingalls's lefeat was due to her, she said : "I don't ilaim that, but I would be glad to believe :hat it was true. I began the fight on Injalls a year and a half ago, when it was sacrilege so say anything against him in Kansas. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Woman's Suffrage Associa:ion ostracised me on that occasion, but the seople were with me from the start." When the idea was suggested that some scenes of the farmers' movement in South Carolina last year reached a point of frenzy suggesting the descriptions of the Feench evolution, Mrs. Lease said : "Yes, I think the condition of this country is very much like that of France before hft Frenoh revolution. Last fall I thought [ could see in the faces of the Kansas farners the look of desperation which Victor Hugo so graphically describes in his picture )f the French peasants. "In France a few thousand people owned ill the land. In this country, Thomas G. Sherman, a New York lawyer, estimates hat 250,000 people own the whole wealth, and and all, in a population of sixty milions." "What will be the outcome of it all?" "Well, unless there are reforms by means )f the ballot, there will be bloodshed. Greed lever has been willing to give up one lollar of its ill-gotton gain, and it is not cerain that reforms can be brought about by peaceful methods." But is there not this difference between the status in France and the status here?that ;he 250,000 who own all the wealth are in he minority, and of the 60,000,000, 10,000,X)0 have votes ; while in France the people lad no voice?" "Yes, we have here the alternative of the jallot or the bullet. In France they had 10 alternative but the bullet or bayonet. But I do not see how much can be done hrough tthe ballot unless it is reformed by he Australian system." Mrs. Lease's eyes flashed indignantly as ;he said : "What good will the ballot do when millonaires can vote hordes of Italians ? They say it is the shotgun down here. Up there t is intimidation by employers. 'You vote :his way or give up your job.' Votes are pought in every part of the country. In Oklahoma the negroes passed through a oom, receiving a sack of meal, a pieeo of paeon and a bag of beans on oue side, and ,vere given a Republican ticket on the other side. You remember there was a balance of M5,000 left of the appropriation of congress 'or the Jamestown sufferers, and by resoluion it was given to the distressed people of Oklahoma. Instead of giving it to all the listressed people, white and black, the Republicans used all of it to get negro votes in he election, aud not a dollar of it was given 0 white people. I was a witness of that ransaction, and after we got through in vansas I went down there, and we didn't eave them a single county office, notwithitanding the negro votes. I held a large neeting in Kingfisher county just be'ore the election. It was in a Methidist church, and the house was packed, den sat in the windows and there vere many women in the church. Sudlenly the floor sank two feet, and there was in awful panic. Men were leaping on lenches, shrieking in fright and as white as hey will ever be in death. But for ray elf-control, it would have been terrible in 1 moment more. With my powerful voice . succeeded in catching their attention and illaying their fears. I told them there was 10 danger, and that it was nothing but a Republican trick to break up the meeting. U the moment I honestly thought it was. >Ve had had attempts to break up our meetngs in Kansas. They tried to have me ar ested as a rebel interloper from North Car)linn. When I got the attention of the :ro\vd I asked the men to stand still until he women and children could get out. They did so, and when they were out I told he men to pass out quietly, but to go quick y, as there was a nine foot cellar under-1 leath, and there might be some danger. I lon't know how I controlled myself. I was iwfully scared, for I could see the walls sag 11 when the floor sank. "The people went out of there believing it vas actually a Republican trick, and men vho had been longlife Republicans left the larty and voted with us. It looked like the ! Lord was on our side. They say that all is j 'air in love and war, and that was very much j ike war. I afterwards went back to see if; here had been any attempt to cut the undermining, but became satisfied that there was lot," "Were you from South Carolina?" "No, I am from the old country; I am of 'cot<*h-Irish descent. My father and brother vere in the I'nion army. My brother lies in ; Virginia and my father sleeps in Andersonidlle. When they started the North Caroli- j la story these facts came out, and that is the vay I came to be called Joan of Arc. The j Union veterans took it up and gave us thou-1 lands of votes.

There is not a season when much labor, time and money is not lost for the want of good seed grain. Some seed establishments warrant their seeds, others declare in their catalogues that their seeds are fresh, but they do not guarantee them except to be true in kind. Let us look for a moment at the guarantee. What does it amount to ? Suppose you plant ten acres of corn, not one-half the seeds germinate; can you claim, or get, if you do claim, damages to cover your loss? So with wheat or any other grain. The seed stores may?though I do not know of a single instance when they did?give you other seeds or return you the purchase price. Is that any compensation ? Ordinarily corn can he discerned as to its germinating quality by the color and by the condition of the chit or germ ; not so with the sweet or sugar corn ; that is so wrinkly that it is more difficult to determine its germinating powers. Although generally practiced as the best thing under the circumstances, re-planting does not often pay. The weeds will have such a start and the first planting will so overshadow it, as to make re-planting practically of no effect. With wheat and other small grain it is even more disastrous, and a whole season, besides time, money and anticipated results are lost, and such a guarantee as is given is worthless. If only slightly heated, wheat will not grow. To obviate all such troubles and tbe necessity to rely upon seed stores at all, is to save your own seeds as far as it is practicable. As to maize, in all its varieties, you should select the earliest and best ears while growing; mark them with a colored string and gather them first when fully ripe. Strip back the greater part of the husk, and thus bunching ten or a dozen ears, hang them up in a place where there is free air and security aginst rats and mice. Never hang them up in a granary over a bin of wheat or oats. Such a course would be fatal, because these small grains undergo?even when sweated in the straw or stack?a process of heating which in greater or less degree is continued when in the bin. This is so certain that elevators and storehouses resort to ventilation by fans and other contrivances. It is thought by well-informed authorities that old grain?wheat and rye two or three years old?will go farther in life-sustaining powers than new grain ; therefore the store houses of the Prussian army are visited by companies of soldiers, detailed especially to shovel over the rye and wheat in store. Where this human machinery can be commanded, and where it otherwise would be idle, there is no necessity to use other ventilating machinery, as we have in our elevators and grain warehouses. Even the farmers over there have a proverb, viz. : "Warm from the mill and hot from the oven " * " i r- tt mi 1, win maae me ricnest iuriuer poor. umim God, our American fanners need not yet take this into consideration. If they prefer hot biscuits to stale bread they can gratify their palates regardless of such economic considerations. Here it is more difficult, hut not impossible, to save the seeds of vegetables. There are, however, some rules which, when correctly observed, will facilitate matters. For instance: If you have fine radishes select these perfect after their kinds; pull them yp and transplant them immediately. They will grow readily and in due time produce seeds, which will he good ; leave them in place and they will go to seed, but this seed will not produce good roots and run out. Beets and turnips in kind can be stored in good cellars, set out the succeeding spring and produce good seeds. Lettuce produces good seeds the first year, but is benefitted also by transplanting. Peas and beans intended for seed should be planted in select lots and not picked for the table, but allowed to mature the first pods set, because with most of these carliness is a great consideration. The trouble with these edibles is the weevil, both pea and bean?bruchus?this is pretty certain to infest the seeds. Because of this, our best seeds of peas and beans comes from England or Canada, so far north as to he practically free from these pests. The seeds of cuemumbers, melons, squashes and such vines are apt to mix or get married in a family garden, therefore it is better to buy them from establishments where they arc grown so far apart as to make mixing practically impossible. We understand that some large seed establishments "give out" a single variety of the above vegetables to a farmer and he furnishes the seeds at certain rates. With extra care these seeds may be produced without much deterioration 011 any considerable farm. Yet we advise the introduction of "new blood" frequently. Changing seed from North to South, or vice versa, is very desirable. Potatoes stand out in bold relief in this respect. Missouri should plant potatoes grown in Northern Illinois, Wisconsin or even Minnesota, and these States would do well to plant seeds grown in Ohio or New York. Garden seeds are grown for market quite extensively in Massachusetts and Connecti cut, and as a rule are desirable, especially onions and certain sorts of squashes. We are not to be understood as in any way to assert that seed establishments are or mean to be dishonest in any of their transactions; our intentions are simply, in a measure, to post farmers so that if they prefer they can produce many of their seeds for field or garden, and thus save themselves disappointment, vexation, time and money. All the finer varieties, such as cauliflower, cabbage, endive sprouts, kale, etc., are better when purchased of professional seed growers. Most of the wholesale dealers throughout the United States have large estates and grow their own seeds. The surest way to obtain good seeds is to purchase of these direct. The seeds will be high, including postage or express charges, but they are more reliable.?Chas. W. Murtfeldt in St. Louis Republic. FARMERS, SAVE THE SEED. As this is one of the most important things for the farmers to look after, and the time is drawing near for action, I thought I would give my plan, hoping it will benefit some one. In the first place, every farmer ought to have a place where he can keep his seed, for rats and mice are very fond of seed when they are nicely saved. I have often heard complaint by farmers and wives that the rats had destroyed their seed. So we will all have to prepare in time against such loss. It is very foolish for lis to go to the trouble of saving seed and then lose them by our carelessness in not providing a good place for them. I know we have to feed rats and mice, but it is too expensive to feed them on our select seed. Therefore, prepare well for use. I always try to save my seed from the plant that grows them in the shortest lime. I save my watermelon seed late in the season, as they come to maturity much earlier in the latter part of the season, and the same with cotton and corn ; these I have tried. I save my melon seed and cure them in the shade. Save my seed corn by selecting it in the field and hang it up in some good place so it will cure well in the air. When well dried, then I put in some tight box and nail it so nothing can get to it. My cotton seed I select in the iield and put the cotton in some good place where it will dry, always in the shade. I have it stirred up every day to prevent it from heating; when dry, have it ginned and put the seed in some good place to get thoroughly dry, have them stirred up every day for sometime tin#:i <lmr #lw??* lilt# Iluilll l?UMU? fill' 1)1*1 111 lilt? I save my ground peas and field peas in the same way. I en re all my seed in the shade. Most all seed will heat when put in a green state if not well stirred up every day or two. When seed once take a heat they will not come up well, and hy all means never put any planting seed in an old smoke house where there has been salt, for salt has a tendency to keep things near it very moist and will injure seed. I once bought some ground peas from a merchant which were in the back part of his store where salt was, and my peas looked all right but did not come up well. Since. I have heard of seed being injured very much by having them where salt has been. The loss to our Southern country by planting defective seed is immcnsu and should be avoided if possible. 1 think the seed that we raise are much better fyr us to plant anyway, as they are already acclimated. Oh, what a save it would be to our own country if the farmers would save their own seed, or at least all that could be saved that suits our climate. If we farmers will look to these things more closely, we will be much benefitted. Thousands of dollars go out of the Southern country 2very year for seed which we ought to save ourselves. I have been out,this morning saving some fine j peas for seed. This thing of saving seed is a big thing ; we have to be n.'ady to gather them when ripe, and all the time looking out and watching, for the sted ripening at i different times. I save my seed potatoes from planting vines; plant about 15th day T of June. Save my watermelons from seed '{I planted about the same tima. Save those '1 that come late in the season lor early spring f planting. I think seed thai come to full Ij maturity in the shortest time is the seed to r save. That has been my observation and ex- t perience. Hope all my brother farmers C will in the future save their own seed and H stop spending so much money for that we \ can save.?I. L. Wilson in Southern Farm, n , t , h Buttermilk for Freckles.?There is 1 nothing that equals fresh buttermilk for re- t moving tan, freckles, sunburn or moth spots v says The Ladies' Home Journal. It has the great advantage that it does not injure the t skin, but renders it soft like a child's. Take a a soft cloth or sponge and bathe the face, 1 neck and arms thoroughly with buttermilk J before retirinir for the nieht: then wipe off the drops lightly. In the morning wash it t thoroughly and wipe dry witli a crash towel. 1 Two or three such'baths will take off all the tan and freckles. It will keep the hands soft and smooth. i ? Poultry raising admits of what is called intensified farming, as the droppings are by experts said to he almost as good as guano. Guano is gathered off the coasts where sea birds abotind, and taken by ships to the vicinity of large cities that support the eastern market gardeners, and is sold by the barrel. Yet, often the droppings from the farmer's flock are thrown wherever they happen to fall j sometimes iia front of the chicken house door, where the lady of the house must wade through them to get the eggs. Keep the droppings dry and under shelter, until applied to the soil. Turnips as Fertilizer.?We might learn a lesson from our English cousins in the use of turnips. They often pasture sheep upon them, where grown, in order to get the benefit of all waste portions as fertilizer for the ground. The American Cultivator, speaking upon this subject, says that 1,800 bushels of turnips contain the manurial value of twenty-three tons of fresh barnyard manure, with the addition of seventeen bushels of wood ashes. ^^i????
