Modern Methods Worth While. .A man can't hope to be a success on a farm if be is careless aDout ousiness methods and management. The latest method for a joyful career on the homestead is none too good for the modern farmer. Time and poor farming have wrought wonders with the soil fertility, but the balance is on the wrong side of the ledger. The fertility has been depleted. \ If a merchant left boxes of merchandise standing behind his store, exposed to the weather, a board would inquire into the soundness of his mind. A farmer can leave his farm implements out in the rain or Storm, and his conscience won't hurt . him a bit. The insanity board won't he looking him up, either. f % n a it IV AT INDAY, 1 R0LE7 N ARTT?

The Kyhber Pass is the chief gateway into Afghanistan. Sixteen miles south of it is the city of Peshawur. The adjoining valley and hills have always been the haunts of professional thieves. The objects which they most covet are arms, money and horses^ In securing these they evince great skill and daring. x Their most popular moae or norse stealing requires at least three men to carry it out comfortably and successfully. One of them quietly steals his way into the stable and takes hold of a cord which has been pushed through one of the holes in the wall by an accomplice outside. ' The two use this string as. a saw-, while the third man pours upon it a plentiful supply of water. The cord silently and speedily cuts its way down the mud wall. In a wonderfully short time the three craftsmen manage to saw round a portion of the wall, which when pushed outward leaves a space sufficient to allow a horse to pass out. This done, the remaining work pre sents no difficulty. The ropes which bind the horse are cut, and in a short time he is cantering to the hills, with generally two or three of his new masters on his back. A somewhat bold and impudent exploit in thd horse-stealing line was once the amusement and the talk of the British military station for some days. The cantonment was surrounded at sundown by a chain of sentries. This demanded a great number of men, and all regiments, cavalry and infantry, European and native, nightly gave their proportions. A native trooper on this occasion fastened his horse to the peg fixed about the middle of his "beat," and to keep his courage and himself warm?the night was bitterly cold? walked smartly backward and forward. The extent of this walk was not more than thirty yards, and thus at 1 1 +V.OT, no time couia ne Iiave uecu muic iuau i fifteen yards from his charger. He ! was armed with a short rifle and a tulwar or sword. While he was thus doing duty a , hiUman managed to crawl quite close to him without exciting notice, and waiting quietly until the sentry was near the end of his walk, and of course, with his back to the horse, the robber cut the charger's rope, mounted him and in a moment wae \ * sTD C FEBRUA ^N-AL )TS: FIV ;iful Native gregations isical Instrumen > SEATS TICKETS ADMISSION: 50c e this Does Don't Miss [TING S CAT CAUGHT A BURGLAR.

Carlton avenue, played a prominent . part recently in capturing a burglar, who had been indiscreet enough to , enter the apartment in which this in- j telligent pussy had been left.

They ] generally arrive home in the neighborhood at 8:30 o'clock. : Dr. Leon- < ard, who is a frequent caller at the j house, has a key to the apartment, 1 and folio-wing his custom for several years, he closed up his office shortly after 8*. o'clock, and went to the home of his sister-in-law. I The door leading to the apartment 1 was unlocked, but he did not pay 1 any attention to this, thinking that 1 Mr. and Mrs. Hunker had carelessly ] left it unfastened, the Brooklyn 1 Eagle says. After lighting the gas < his attention was attracted to tjie cat, 1 which was acting in a peculiar man- i ner. Ordinarily the animal is very l affectionate, but it would not per- 1 mit Dr. Leonard to stroke it, and as < soon as the gas was lighted it ran ' toward the parlor, sniffing like a J dog. Dr. Leonard followed it and on 1 entering the parlor he saw a dark form crouched behind a chair. With- ( out any formalities, the doctor rush- ' ed to the figure and grabbing a man ? by the neck demanded his business. The intruder begged for mercy and 1 said that he had entered the place to get something to eat, thinking he said, that he was in someone else's house. The capitol in Washington is 118 j years old.

Strange Bequest Made by Woman in WilL The pet dog of a woman who died last week is to be the "defendant" in in interesting claim about a will, says i Vienna dispatch. The woman, Frau Bela Czabo, wid 3w of a Hungarian official, was found dead from heart disease in tier flat. She left a will bequeathing ill her possessions, including $5,000 ready cash, to her pet dog, which which has a luxurious private room in the flat, with mirrors and silk brocaded furniture and was fed on seasonable delicacies, from partridges to spring chickens. Relatives of Frau Czabo intend to contest the will and nave taken possession of the dog until its claims to the estate have been settled. All Would be Different. If there were no women men would have no object in life; their mustachse would cease to interest them; they would not care a Chinaman whether their collars were ironed or Qot; they would have nobody to nurse them when they had the toothache, >r to keep them from believing they were going to die when an old-fashioned stomach-ache . had the grip ipon them. There would be nobody to take for ice cream and no small edition of flesh and blood to hug. rhere would be nobody to fight igainst being kissed and then come to it is natural as a cat does to cream.

In the Orient Maidens Weave Their ? Thoughts?Fear of the Evil Eye. The little cottage Oriental rugs often made by girls who are shortly to be married, in Turkey, Persia, on the Aremnian plateau and in Afghanistan, carry with them all the poetry and mysticism of the Oriental girl's mind, as she is just budding into womanhood. She weaves into the rugs almost her very thoughts?so much is rugweaving a part of the Oriental life, and so little is it a purely commercial pursuit. Time is not counted of value in the East when rugs are made. Consequently, Americans have found it impossible to compete with the Orientals in the manufacture of these practically everlasting products. In some parts of the Oriental-rug countries, it is considered wrong to have the rugs seen in the making by Christians. If such an accident occurs, and one from the Western world views one of the rugs, the workman offsets the suspected injury by weaving a small white spot in the rug, to keep away the "evil eye." Sometimes, when the rug is not made for sale, but as the dowry of some girl at the time of her marriage, and when something inauspicious had happened, a little break is left in the border of the rug, by which it is hoped that the devil may escape from the household. Were the border continuous, the Orientals believe that the devil would run around and around the rug, and never leave the house.?"Suburban Life."
