TIi ew Method of Farming. There la to muoh iuterest In irrig tlon, now that the surveys of Mj. Towell and the department reports prove that it is necessary la a third of oar territory, that Colorado items are timely. Field and Farm of that State, is enthusiastic over the increased pro duct of corn and alfalfa. These two leading products must necessarily be utilized reduced to money and the farmer can find no better way than by feeding them to steers. Those who hare not the cattle can buy them cheap ly of those who bare, and hazard but little risk of miking it pay. At the present eutlook there will be no fors tones in feeding, but if the farmer gets fair price for bis hay and grain pro duct, with a trifla added for his time in feeding, be should be content. This caa be done cheaply by good selection and judicious management. Let us see for a moment : A well bred twelve hundred pound steer can be bought these times for for two and a half cents per pound, which will be How if this steer is put to feeding by the middlw of the present month and kept feeding until be has consumed a too of and a half or two tons of alfal fa and thiity bushels of corn, he will have increased his weight 200 pounds, when he should bring in the market at home or abroad from 45 to 233. This would give the farmer thirty-fiv cents a bushel lor his corn and ?3 a ten for his hay. To obtain this increased weight in th steer he must be shelter ed though, and fed with au at nr. dance --must never be allowed to go hungry or shiver with cold. A few years sro we were jeered at for saving that Colorado would yet be come agrand feeding and beef produe leg state. Those who doubted then do not doubt now. Thy have become the advocates of it. It is patent that we have th ability to fed and fatten large nuaibers of cttle--cau do as cheaply as any and at as good a profit: as anv of the western state. It is bing done. In fact our farmers will soon be forced to feed or have no market for their leading products. Thy have the best feed rn the world and the best climate Id which to feed. It only needs the knowledge bow to feed, when to feed and the determination to do, when suc cess will reward the undertaking. A ew Xammeth I'ar?. A cave has jast i'?m discover?d near Spencer, Ind..that rivals Wyandotte In Crawford county. Two mn ex plored this underground palace one night. Tbe entrance is a hole twenty feet deep and three feet In diameter. At the bottom beeics a narrow and iteej passage exteuding thirty feet. Here a rrp off of about five feet was encountf rv.l and to the left was a chauitx'r nb.ut e!rht feet in diameter. rasAir.g through a hole thy came to a chambe-r thirty feet high, the dome of which was huug with many stone pend ants drippirj with Water, forming a beautiful sight in the Airing lamps".

A young girl who occupies a minor posit ion in tbe clerical department cf a large railroad company declared one day in a paselonace tone: "I'd give anything in tbe world if I were oat 0? the X, Y and Z offices I" "AVhy?" asked ber friend, knowing that tbe position was fully as good as she could expect to bold. "Because I've started out wrong and I can't get rtght. ' I thought when I began that I could be ob friendly, sociable terms ! with tbe men in tbe offlce, and have nice, easv times with them as we work ed together day by day. But, oh 1 it hasn't turned out as I thought it would at all ! Tbey treat me in a familiar, slap-yon-on-the-back sort of a way that humiliates me constantly. "When I come in in tbe morning tbey say : 'Jennie, what have you got that thing around your neck for?' or tbey ask it" I didn't forget some of my balr pins. And when I try to resent it they only laugh at me. I am fairly de graded in my own eyes, and I can't help it, because I've started out wrong." There is a lesson bere for tbe vast ar my of girla and yonng women who are privileged, under our liberal eocial re quirements, to go out into tbe world and esrn their own livings. It is bard for a cm who bss lived a free and unconstrained life at borne, en tenalnirg ber male friends, usually in her mo'ber's presence, and always with her sanction, to realize that the Bime unstudied atmosphere should not pre vail in a put'ic offlse. She dues not take into account that she has not 'he accustomed background of home and parents to conntenarce her innocent gayety. The proverbial inch is g'ven. and the ell taken, and oftm whrn it is too late she finds that thai charmed circle of womanly sinctlty. which is every girl's birthright, Is trod den down acd obliterated. Ilt-r name is bandied from one pair of maecnline lips to another, ber actions op-niy commented on, the derails of her dress discussed. She finds berself treated as a sort of anomalous creature, not a woman, and uot commanding tbe respect and deference due a woman. It mons'rous and humiliating, and once allowed, is nearly irremediable. Girls, earn your independence If yon must, or will ; go as a wage-earner luto theothceor the shop, but carry with you thiit tweet an womanly reserve which Is at once your chatm and your s&fi-gurd. Be sure that you "start out right." Beys lha nccecdd. There was once in Harrow school a very poor boy. the son of a am ill trades man !n Harrow, who was very much hart by thouahtlees taunts about the poverty of his faixi'y, and he used to y : "Never mind ; 1 lnteud Lt-fore I die to ride in a coach and four not a very noble ambition ; but long before Dr. Parr died he had become the great eat ecaofar of his age, and habitually rode in a coch and four. hen War ren Il-s ines ws a bor he used to grieve at the fact that his family had lost their paternal estate at D-iylesford, and to say : "I wi!l bny that back."', II grew op to be the great proconsul j or in- age- ; ne rount back the es tatn, and he died at Daylesford. I had the honor of knowing Mr. George Mrare. Yoa may remember that he came to I.ir.don a poor, utkon, uo befriended (umber'and lad. When be entered a great ccmmerctal establish ment his ambition was : "I in'.ccd to marry my master's daughter and be come my master's p-trtner." Both those things he accomplished. lie not onlv lecame a very wealthy man, but what was InSnitely better, a man of great et-rvlcs to bis generation. Atxut sixty years ago there was a boy of Jew ish extraction, a clerk In a solicitor's office, and to the intense amusement of his companions be used to say : "I in tend to be Prime Minister of England," and in spite of scorn ha became Prima Ministtr, and Lis name was Benjamin Disraeli. N.ne'y years ago there was a boy in Staffordshire who had been told exactly what I am telling yon that any boy who determined to be this or that could be, and he eaid : 4If that be tru. 1 will test it ; end I am determined to te prime Minister of Eo-glar-d." That boy became Prime Min is' er, and bis name was Robert Peel. S.me fifty years ago there was a very rule and un?iin'y looking bay who seemed as if all bis limbs were out of joint ; when seven years old he was ehoeless and penniless, who at seven teen was driving a canal boat, at twenty was a iai'-eplitter, at twenty two was at tbe bead of a small shop which was very successful, but who us-d to amuse his comrades by saying : 'Never mind ; I intend to become President of the Uoit'd Statts." Ilia name was Abraham L'EccIl. Ir is dog ged that dries it, and it is thorough that I does it. After all his failures Lincoln j thought he would take to tbe law. He ' bought a '.aw bock, and after breakfast he used go to out and sit undr a tree, ; ard with his legs higher than his head, move round tbe trees in the shade from morn to dwy eve. In that way be i mastered the Jaw bonk, and In time be ' cme one of the greatest of the modern Presidents of America. Ax IrUhmeo who had teen bronatt op Id tbe country wbtre s'onea lay loose about tbe fields, and tbe djts. oo ac count of the ibefp, were kept In ken ne'a, visited a city for tbe first time, when a dog rushed oat and barked at him. lie stopped and tried to pull a stone out of the pavement to flirt at tbe c nr. but found it fast.

Watch a woman or a girl read a novel And If yoa bare watched one of course you have watched more. It la curious and interesting- work, and gives cue quite an insight Into a wo man's character, for tbey do not all raid novels la tbe same way. Of course, tbe majority read for tbe simple object of passing tbe time away, without car ing for plot or style ; they devour everything tLat comes in their way, hardly knowing what it la, and forget the whole story as soon as tbey have turned tbe last leaf and closed tbe covers. Tbese art o'.d bands at novel reading, and so lone as they find tem porary amusement and time flies ly unnoticed, tbey care not for lovers' woes or ways, nor whether the climax Is happj or uDhappy. But tbe sentimental school girl and the romantic young woman go to work in a very differett way. Tbey will pick up a book and read tbe title ats tentively, and then the title page, gloating over it if by chance it bap pens to contain a line of poetry. Tbey will then open the book at the first cbnpter and read its title and tbe fuw head lines of poetry, if there happens to be any, and so ou through tbe whole volume to tbe very last page. In this way tbey get a vague idea of the story and gauge tbe Interest of it by the quantity aad quality of the verse con tained there in. After the skimming process they begin to read at tbe be ginning of tbe first chapter and read steadily through to the very end, thor oughly ecjoyiog It all, and remember ing fairly wel. the plot, names of the characters and the principal incidents. Tbese readers have good memories. They read more for the ptory than for style, and reading s'owly and carefully, they do not go through many bocks during the year, but re mt-mber those tbey do read. Opposite to this claea of readers is the unsentimental and un rom at lc class of women, both married and single. They eklp all the poetry and most of the love-making, atid care only for Ibe development of the plot. They gal!op through book after book of intricate plots, caring little how the story ends, so far as a hero and heroine are concerned they are simply curious to know how much ingenuity the au thor can show in tbe weaving of a plot. Tbe impatient woman reads tbe last chapter of the novel first. She rct know the fate of tbe lovers before she caa consent to barrow her mivd by reading of their quarrels,- disappoint dents and separations. When, she lears in tbe last chapter tbat every thing eomeB out all right and every body Is happyt then, and then only, will she turn to th- first page and pa tiently wads through 300 pages of douots and trials, confllent of the ulti mate joys of the despairing lovers. Acd then there is tbe woman who reads only for style, caring Botning for plot, and taking little interest in tbe characters. Another type Is the wnm an who reads for Information, devour ing everything that comes in ber way, reading rapidly and carelessly, it ap pears to observers, but she gets what she reads for acd remembers it. Ask her eny question about tbe books she reads or has read within the past four or five years. arvl she will give you an accurate answer. Ancient Inks. According to tLe Roman naturalist, riiny and other authors, the basis of ink usrd by ardent wrlttra whs formed of lampblack, or the black taken from burt ivory and soot from furnaces and baths. Some have also surp ed tbat the blaek liquor which th cuttle-fish yields was trfquently employed. One thing Is certain, what whatever were tbe component ingredients, from the blackness and eolidity in tbe most an cient manuscripts, from an itiketand found at Ilerculaneum, in which the ink af pears as thick as oil, and from chemical aualjsia the ink of antiquity was much more onaque, as encaustic, than tbat which is used in modern times. Inks of different colors were much in vogue. Red. purple,:blue, and gold and silver inks were the principal varieties. The red was made frem ver milion, cinnabar and carmine ; ot which, culled the purple encaustic, was appropriated to the exclusive use of the emperors. Golden ink was much more popular among the Greeks than among the Romans. During tbe middle or d-jrk ages the manufacture both of it and of eilver ink was an extensive and lucrative branch of trad, and the il luminated manuscripts which remain are a striking proof of tbe bigh degree of perfection to which tbe art was car ried. Tne making of tbe inks them selves was a distinct business, and an other connected with it and to which it owed its origin was tbat of inscrib ing the titles, capitals as well as em phatic words, in colored and gold atd silver inks. Experleneo and Training In MechanN cal vtork. To be a good mechanic, said Sir Ben jamin Brown, ac tbe recent meeting of the British Scientific Association, lonar training Is necssary ; and, above all. ability to dls'Ingulsb good from infer ior work. A regular course of pro gress rom one branch to another should be carefully followed, so as to teach eveiy class of work up to the most dif ficult. In this tbe real Interest of tbe employer is the same as that of the lad. Tiz, to learn every step thoroughly, and tbao pass on to something more diffi cult. The author contended that a long training in a manufactory is abso lu'ely necessary, and this should be supplemented by theoretical and tech nical instruction. "It would probably be a good gain to give a lid mx or e ght months of theoretical teaching after he is out of his apprenticeship. The old fashioned svstem of apprenticeship, not much shortened, and wJtb very slight modifications, is the only reliable meth od foi either employer or mechanic to learn bis business ; but, as woik has become more scien.iilc and e'aborate, it Is necesstry for any young m-tn to excel to have a good theoretical and technical tialninz in addition tn his I factory experience."
