If you are tired of farming?tired of milking cows, plowing, reaping and chorlng?don't make the mistake of renting or selling the farm and starting into a mercantile business in some town. Nearly every community can furnish some financial wreck of a man who lias done this thing. It la the surest way In which to get rid of the old form and dissipate the hard earnings and savings of twenty-five or thirty years that we know of. Business men have their troubles which the man on the farm knows but little of?deadbcets, a savage competitive strife which Is merciless, fluctuating markets, a capricious public to enter to. overdue drafts at the hank and uncollectahle assets. No man can succeed In a mercantile bust[ ness today who has not had caref I 1 and thorough training In the line which be may take up. We call to mind one case where a smooth drummer unloaded on to a farmer who bad Just opent <1 a country store enough sal soda to Inst mf tuuimuunj ivr lorry yearn.

Pa. 16-ly Chlnn'n Antlqnlt^, China's antiquity Is a part of her colossal proportions. Cliinn's early writers record a mythological history covering tens of thousands of years, but this period ends with the establishment of the capital of the empire at Kalfungfu in the thirty-first century B. C. Iler legendary history extends from this tlmo to 2205 B. C., at which time. It may be said, China's real history begins. The ancient history of China extends f som 2205 B. C. to 298 B. O. Her medlieval history begins there and extends to the time of the Mongol conquests In 121G A. D. With the founding of the Mongol dynasty China's modern history begins. The Mongols were driven out by the Mings In 13G8 A. D. The Mings were the last native dynasty that ruled over China, and their control lasted from 1368 to 1044. Under the title of the Ta Tslng (the Great Fure) dynasty the Mantchoos have ruled China since A. A. 1644. Lincoln Tol4 a Story. At one time n friend complained to President Lincoln that a certain cabinet officer was administering his office With unusual energy with the hope of securing the presidential nomination. "That reminds me," said Mr. Lincoln, "that my brother and I were once plowing a field with n lazy horse, but at times he rushed across the field so fast , that I could hardly keep up with him. At last I found an enormous chin Uy on him and knocked it off. Now 1 am not going to make that mistake a ?ec. ond time. If the secretary bas a cbln fly on blin, I am not going to knock It off, If It will only make bis department go." THE MISSION OF CLOVER. No plnnt for nil tbe nortb country agriculture can preacb so good n sermon as clover. It is tbe almost perfect dairy ration, tames tbe lumpy, sout and contrary soil, subsoils tbe burdpan, I renovates and fertilizes tbe poor soil, 'works days and nights during tbe two years of lis existence not only to produce tbe best food grown upon tin furin. but to enrich and nitrify tin. earth and Increase the yield of ail following crops for not less than fiv# f years. We can ofTcr nothing better fot tbe average farmer titan to advise hit. to make a serous business of study in;: his v*!;vtbte p"; * -?? bs bi uetlc' ti '.-slou I I* HA ???? hii.i mwnw ARTIFICIAL COMD HONEY. * A short time ago wo incidentally referred to the manufacture of bogus comb honey, and. Judging from the many letters received, we made a mistake in assuming that any such honey is made or could possibly be made, and so our renders will please understand that there is no such fraud practiced and that wo never said there was. The bee men unite In saying that it is a mechanical Impossibility to make an artificial comb, till it with an adulterated sweet and so seal the cells op that such fraud could not be readily detected. At the same time we have | before ns a statement of an expert of the agricultural department at Wash- I lngton, Mr. Charles Say lot* of Pes J Moines, la., in which he refers to this matter as though such bogus product was actually being made. The bee men can now go for him and convince him, as tliey havo us, that he is in error. The item which drew forth the criticism was prompted not so much by what we had heard and rend of this assumed fraud ns by the character and quality of a lot of honey which wo bought about that time. Assuming that this lot of honey was the pure quill product of the bees, we wonder what the moral condition of the members of the liive must have been to have produced such an abomination when it looked so very tempting. They must surely have been, foragers on strange grounds and eaters of forbidden fruits, revelers among the bloom of skunk cabbage, henbane and rncwemi <n?. tillers of nectar from malignant ami I deathly types of the vegetable kingdom. Maybe their queen was dead or the regular workers on a strike and the drones tried their band. Anyhow, now knowing that the bees made that hooey, the poetic sentiment with which we have nlwaj-s Invested the bee Is knocked Into smithereens, and hereafter it, like the ox or the pig, is of the earth earthy. Lynch Law, Lynch law in Its usual moaning is said to be traceable to a Galway worthy. In 1403 one James FltzStephen Lynch, a mayor of that city, sentenced his own son to death for murder and, fearing a rescue, had the culprit brought home and hanged beforo his own door. The tradition may be found alluded to in Thackeray's "Irish Sketch Book." There are critics, however, who say that the law was In its origin essentially American, and they date it back to Charles Lynch, a Virginian planter of the seventeenth century. HIGH PRICED FODDER. We noted thirty head of catllo working over the dry stalks In a cornfield the other day. The owner started in with forty head, but lost ten head during the first four days after they were turned In by the smut disease. These ten head were worth about $300, fot there were included n hundred dollar BhorthOrn bull and a cow worth $30. The fodder In that field was never worth over $20, if worth that. No need to point a moral to this story. FREE BLOOD A ND SKIN CURE. Cures Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism, and All Blood Troubles. The Botanic Blood Balm #( IJ H.

The public little realizes that behltfd the scenes of the Metropolitan Opera House is a large ami most important factory runnlug in full blast, Tlicrre la manufactured all the scenery., costumes, properties niul mechanical effects used in the elaborate productions. Everything has to be most skillfully planned. When a revival of "The Magic Flute" was under consideration and the expense of doing it on an appropriate scale was ligured out, it was found that the curtain would rise on an expenditure of something like $30,(KX). Have you ever been in a scenic artist's studio? lie has no easel. Instead, ho has a little model, an exact miniature of the house iu which his scenery is to he set up. Here on a reduced scale he prepares models of the scenes which his painters are to project on an enormously enlarged scale upon the canvas which hangs by the paint bridge. When lie has modeled his scene, ho calls in the costumor and the stage manager. Scenic artist nnd costumor usually have put their hondB together before getting to work and decided upon certain color schemes for the various scenes, but just that very morning the costumor may have seen a stunning bit of red which be wants to introduce into his scheme, nnd so he tri^s to persuade the scenic artist to change the coloring a little accordingly.?Cosmopolitan.
