lion to Keep the Hoys on Iho farm,
Tlio April number of Siribner contaim
a paper by tbo well-known Agricultural au
thor, Colonel Ucorgo It. Wnrlng of New
port, on the Interesting ulject of "Farm.
VllinRcV .Tho writer m been actively ur
ging the- adoption ol improvement in Ame
rican farming for many year, anil has had
pood opportunities hi atudyltig tho needs of
American agriculture. Familiarity with the
lllo and work of European farmers, where
It is tuual for tlioso who cultivate the xnil
to live in villages, suggested tohlm tho Idea
that tho condition of our onn agricultural
population could be much ameliorated by a
similar concentration into communities
where the material and moral benefits of bet
ter uncial relations could bo secured.
Tho paper considers tho way In which
land may bo divided so as to necure tho eud
In view with tho leat inconvenience to the
iren who have to till the fields, and with the
loast drawback to the business of the farm
er. Two cases aro considered: 1. When
it Is a unction of tho ett1emcut of new
lands. 2. Whirc farm-homos arc already
scattered over the country, each on Us on n
farm. In both eves It is attempted to show
how details of the plan may be regulated so
as to c.ni'e tho least annoyance and toss of
time to tho men, to compafs tho greatest
convenience! and comfort of the women, and
to provide the ber tad vantages for tho young
er members 'if tho community. These, two
Kchetues are illustratcdbysullicleutdlagrams
which indicate tho way in which tlio fann
ing land and tho village, tr.ict should be di
vided. Suggestions ire also given as to the layitig
out of the village green, the care of roads,
paths, grass-ground, and other open space,
o farRS such suggestions are appropriate in
thts connection.
Tho way in which tho proposed change
would aflect the work of tho farmer, his wiio
his hired men and his teams, is fully consid
ered, nnd It seems to bo demonstrated
vvliilo It is admitted that in imtntdinto money-making
there may be some slight disad
vantage that on the whole and in the long
run the general prosperity of our agiicul
tnro would be advanced by tho change.
Considerable Hpace is given to tho com
parative effect of the lifo of tho isolated
farm-house nnd of the more sociable life of
the village on the character of the farmer
and his family, and, therefore, on tlio future
farming people ot the country. The follow
ing quotations indicate the lino of argu
ment: "It may seem a strange doctrine to be ad
vanced by a somewhat enthusiastic farmer,
bnt it is a doctrine that has been slowly ac
cepted after many years' observation a con
viction has taken possession of an unwilling
mind that the young man who takes his
wife to an isolated farm house dooms her
andhimself andtheirchildrentoanunwhole-
itorne, unsatisfactory and vacant existence
an existence marked by the absence of thoe
more satisfying and more cultivating inllu-
encea which the best development of char-
acter and intelligence demand. It is a com-
mon experience of farmers' wives to pns
week after week without exchanging a word
or look with a singlo person outide of
their own family circles.
ine young couple start bravely, and with
a determination to struggle against tho hah
it of isolation which marks their ciass ; but
this habit has grown from the necessity of
thesituation ; and tho necessities of their
own situation bring them sooner or later
within its bonds. During the first few years
they adhere to their resolution and go regu
larly to church, to the lecture, and to tho
social gatherings of their frends ; but home
duties Increase witii time, and tho eagerness
for society grows dull with neglect, and
those who have started out with the firmest
determination tovoid the rock on which
their fathers have split, give up the struggle
at last and settle down to a humdrum, unin
teresting and uninterested performance of
daily tasks.
"In saying all this and I speak from ex
perience, for I have led the dismal lift, my
selfit is hardly necessary to disclaim the
least want of appreciation ot the sterling
qualities which have been developed in the
American farm household.
"If American agriculture has au unsatis-
fiedneed.it is surely the need for moro in-
te ccnceanil more enternri.ln.r Intent ,
the part of its working men and women.
From one end of tho land to the other, its
crying defect recognized by all is that its
best blood or, in other words, its best
brains aud its best energy is leaving itto
seek other fields of labor. Tho influences
which lead the best of tho farmers' sons to
other occupations is not so much the desire
to make more money, or to find a Icbs labo
rious occupation, ru it is tho deslro to lead
a more satisfactory life, a life where that
part of us has been developed bv the better er'
education anil better civlllzntlon-fnr w!,I,.l,
in this century wo have worl-cd so hard and
so well, may find responsive companionship
nna encouraging intercourse with others.
"The social benefits nnd the facilities for
frequent, neighborly, aud informal inter-
course a:e obvious. To sav nothintr nf tlm
companionships and intimacies aiuoii!? the
young people, their tathers and mothers I
would be kept lrom growln old and trlum

bouses nro within a quartern! a mile of each

nnd it gets but scant development among
American farmers.'1
Tho better development of the church,

some length, and tho paper closis thus.
"I should hope, further, as an oulgrowth
from tho community of living, for n modest

if I could have my own way, I should not
confine the attraction and entertainment of
tho village to strictly 'moral' appliances. It
wouiu prouauiy no wiser to recognize- the
fact that young men find an attraction iu

Fourth Monlk Dunce.
The curious custom of joking on the first
of April, sending the ignorant or tlio un
warv on friiitles errands, for tho sake of
making them feel foolish and hnvltig n
laugh at them, prevails very widely In the
world. And whether you call tho victim
.1 "Fourth month dunce," an "April fool,"
an "April fish" (as in France), or an "April
gowk" (as in .-cntlnud), tho object, to ue
ccivo him and laugh at him, is everywhere
the same,
Tho custom has been traced back for.ages;
all through Europe, as far back as tbo rec.
ords go. Tho 'Teas' of Fools" Is mentioned
as celebrated by the ancient Homaus. In
Asia tho Hindoos have a festival, ending
on the .'list of Marcli, called tho "Hull fes'
tiv.il," in which they play the same sort of
first of April pranks, tianslatcd into Hin
doo, laughing at the victim, and making
him a "Hull fool." it goes back even to
Penia, where It is supposed to have a be
ginning, in very ancient times, In the cele
bration of spring, when their New Year be
gins. How it came to bo what wo everywhere
find it, thu wiso men cannot agree. The
many authorities are so divided, that I see
no way but for us to accept the custom as
we lind it, wherever we may happen to be,
and "be careful not to abuse it.
Some jokes are peculiar to particular pla
ces. In England, whero It is called All
Fools' Day, one favorite joko h to sond the
greenhorn to a bookseller to buy the "Life
and Adventures of Eve's Grandmother," or
to a cobbler to buy a few cents' worth of
"strap oil," btrap oil being, in tho lan
guage of tho shoo-rnaking brotherhood, a
pirsonal application of tlio leather. Tho
victim usually gets a good whipping with a
strap.
llicre was an old superstuuuon in r.a
gland that prayers to the Virgin at eight
o'clock on All Fools' Day would be of won
derful efficacy, and it is seriously mentioned
by grave writers of old dajs.
In Scotland the first of April fun is called
"hunting the gowk," and consists most of
ten of sending a person to another a loug
way on", vvitn 11 no.to which says, "Hunt the
gowk another mile." Tho recipient of the
note gives him a new missivo to still an
other, containing the tame words; and ho
the sport cues on, till tho victim remem
bers the day of tho month, and siUs down to
rest nnd think about it.
France, whero the custom is very an-
cient, the jokes aro much tho same; but
the victim is called an "April fish," be-
causo he is easily caught. In one part of
France there is a custom of eating a certain
kind of peas which grow there, called pois
chichet. Tho joko there is to send the
peasant to a certain convent to ask for those
tcll!l, them th.t the fathcrs aro obijce(i
to givo some to every one who comes on
that day. The joko is as much on the
monks as on the peasants, for thero is often
a perfect ruh of applicants all day.
A moro disagreeable custom prevails in
Lisbon on tho first of April, when the great
wbjectis to pour water on passers-by, or fail
ing in that, to throw powder 111 their faces.
If both can be done, the joker is happy.
I need not tell you tho American style of
joking : nailing a piece of silver to tho side
walk; tying a string to a purse, and jerking
it away from greedy fingers ; leaving tempting-looking
packages, filled with sand, on
door-steps ; frying doughnuts with an inter
lining of wool; putting salt in the sugar-
bowl, etc. You know too many already.
l!ut this custom, with others, common in
coarser and rougher times, is fast dying
out. Even now it is left nlmost entirely to
playful children and the uneducated classes

manac of u hundred years ago, will, I'm

How to Keep a Wlfe'n Love.
Many men, I believe vould retain the
warm affection and romantic love of the wo
man they marry much longer it they would
express tho teuderuess they really feel often-
Women lovo to hear thin;

Wiey line to near a nusband say ho loves

to tell them iu plain terms that he misses
tliem wlien tuey ilro absent. They like com
P1'mcnt't tliat CH,no rom tllB heart, however
lree tuey may ue lrom vanity. And a little
praise of dress, or face, or manner, is a
mighty comfort to one who has given herself
t0 0,16 ma" ,or 'lme.
I( ' sa''l l'ia' women havo moro imagina
t'0" thannien.but inmatteisof love I scarce-
ly think that la so. .Man will believe in wo
man' love with far less visible token of it
than is necesary to prove his tenderness to
her. She wauts moro speeches nnd longer
I than he does. The moment of promise and
vow mint bo supplemented by many fond
words scattered through her life, else grieV'
in doubts creep into her soul. A term of
I endearment, a pet name, some little token
thal B-e ' to him what no other is, will
ma,te 'lcr matrimony a happier estate
than the merrier time ol girlhood. And if
In public ho shows other women that he
Citterns her and values her society, jealousy
can ncer poison her life and his also.
There is a great deal of talk about women
"loving forever," however the man may turn
out. It U true in ono cnse: he mav he a
rancal to other Jolks nnd not alienate her
tenderness, but once convince any hlgh-snlr-
