Statue of Tattle.
"If I were a sculptor, I would make
a mud statue of the Goddess of Tattle,
and tie a gingham apron around it,"
says Uncle Jim, in the Applcton Press.
Or you might make it a god, put a
derby hat on it, put a cigar between its
teeth or a dead line of tobacco juice
about its feet, and stand it on some
street corner without it exciting any
comment. The type is all too common.
Five hundred and sixty thousand
persons in the United States are de
pendent upon the street cars for support.

The Social and Educational Life of the Country

By C L, PECK.
n former nrtlcle on tbiu
Ionic oiilv thn pxtnrlor mir.
II rounillnpfl nnd utruetiU'nl
I (IcrIkh of tlio fnrm home
were mentioned. These,
to a great extent, nniFt bo
controlled by tlio fliinnclal condition
nnd tastes of the owner of tlie farm.
Much of tho mirroundiiiRS, however,
were those In tho reneli of every mnn
who has the enterprise nnd nmhltion
to procure them. Shade trees nnd out
side Adornments are within Jhe reach
of every enterprising farmer who cares
to have his home n credit to himself
nnd attractive to tho members of his
family. The ninttors of convenience
mentioned nre in the reach of every
man worthy to bo called n farmer.
Farm life is the only one that can
boast of divine origin. Man was com
manded to till the soil, nnd even before
Adam was driven from Eden lie was
given control nnd management over
whnt the Almighty evidently intended
to be the idenl of life of the being lie
had created. He never commanded n
man to become n hunker, n merchant,
a lawyer, n speculator or a stock
broker. All these nre man-made voca
tions. Ho did make him u farmer,
find If farm life is not so happy nnd en
joyable as any that exists, it is because
of tho shortcomings and mistakes of
the fanner himself.
There nre n few primary principles
In the social llf,e of most so-called
"business men," not found, as n rule,
In average farm homes, but which the
farmer would do well to ndopt. The
business mnn leaves his business in
his oflleo or place of business nt the
close of the day when ho locks Its
doors. It Is n rare thing to bear him
discussing his business cares, trlnls
nnd perplexities in his home. He may
mention them snfllciently for those
members of his family to whom ho In
trusts his business cares to understand
nnd bo conversant with them, but this
is done briefly, nnd is not allowed to
interfere with homo life.
Every fanner should adhere strictly
to the rule that business matters nnd
plans nre never to enter the dining
room, nnd only on rare occasions bo
allowed n place about the fireside In
the family sitting room. Cheerful con
versation, good humor nnd even jollity
nbout the family table have n great
deal to do with good digestion, health
nnd long life. Young men nnd women
nre not likely, in laying out the plans
for future life, to select one that has
proved unpleasant to them nnd in
which they found few If any elements
of pleasure nnd enjoyment. Farm life
becomes repulsive unless its associa
tions have been pleasant nnd attrac
tive. If in tills article I shall have
succeeded in making, some practical
suggestions as to how to make it so,
its purpose will have been accom
plished. On n well conducted fnrm an average
of ten hours per day in active labor
will perform its manual work. Eight
hours of sleep leaves six hours for
mental improvement nnd reasonable
recreation. Tlio farm programme that
does not admit of this Is incomplete
nnd imperfect. Mental Improvement
Is just as important in the life of the
farmer and his family as rain or good
crops. Better tho severest drouth ever
experienced than a dally programme
In fnrm life tnnt leaves no time or en
ergy for educational development. The
developing farm boy will find n place
for entertainment nnd pleasure. If
these things nro not to be found in his
own home, ho will go where they nre
to bo found. If the father does not
furnish the proper kind, the son will
go whore those nre to be found which
the father would not bo likely to ap
prove. In short. If the father does not
tactfully and Intelligently shape the
tastes that will fix tho future character
nf the boy, those tastes and habits will
bo formed under tho Influences of
others that nre quite likely to be such
ns will not give promise of a satisfac
tory or desirable future life. What has
old age In "it to the farmer that con
tains nothing of hope for the future of
the boys and girls ho has brought Into
Hie world? What more desirable than
to hnve approaching old age find him
surrounded with sons nnd daughters
with husbands who aro well started
in successful farm llve3 engaged in
Ills chosen lifo work, well fitted by
education nnd tnsto for tho business,
tho result of his foresight in shaping
the tastes nnd habits of his children?
A few dollars spent In croquet sets,
hammocks, games, lawn chairs, etc.,
are among tho wise investments of n
fnrm home. Three or four of tho lead
ing agricultural weeklies should al
ways bo found on the family rending
table. One or two of the popular
monthly inngnsines ought to be In
every family, nnd the fnther should be
so far conversant with their character
ns to be ablo to select those that lend
to higher thought and Intelligent ac
tion; ulso nt lenRt two political news
papers representing the views of op
posite lending political parties. A
son's respect for his father will be In
creased when he sees be is broad
enough to Investigate both sides of
political questions. In short, every
literary attraction found In the village
home should be found In the farm
home, minus tho trashy fiction often
found In village bouses. It Is often
profitable for two or three farmers to
club together, each one taking one or
two first clasa magazines, and ex
changing among their families a
seems desirable. In the present era of
cheap literature there Is no excuse for
scarcity of reading matter In the farm
borne. ' ,
Iu theso days of cheap farm tele
phones, no farm home is . complete
without one. They add greatly to the
attrnctlveuess of farm life.
Frequent "socials," church and
otherwise, tend to keep the young folk
In proper social lines. Above all. don't
allow yourself to lose Interest iu the
young folk of the neighborhood. In
vite them to your home, and make It
pleasant for them when they come.
lA-t them know you enjoy their pleas
ure. It will lighten their Uvea as well
as add to your pleasure. There Is no
recollection that comes to us la later
life more vivid end attractive tuuu the
remeuibrauce of the hvuio of some lioi-
Ill HI
BJ3
pltablo couple whoso house wns the
gntherlng place of the younx men nnd
women of tho neighborhood. Your
own children will bo proud of their
home, nnd it will go far to give it that
attraction that shall keep tho boy on
tho farm, and if ho stays there, ho will
see to It that one good girl stays with
him.
Tho most powerful nttractlon to the
boy for farm life is the matter of
pride. Let him feel that his father's
farm hns on it better cattle, handsomer
horses, liner hogs nnd better crops
than nre to bo found on tho farms of
tho neighbors, and ho would be less
than human if he was not interested
In them. The live farmer of the twen
tieth century will raise only blooded
stock. There nre two rensons for this.
First, It Is more profitable; second,
there is a pleasure in it not to be found
iu the rearing of scrub stock. At pres
ent prices of blooded stock they are nt
talnublo by nny enterprising farmer,
and those bred for many generations
for tlio development of some particular
feature or trait nro more desirable for
the man that desires to turn that trait
to pvollt than those bred with no spec
ial purpose in view. The farmer that
lives with n purpose nnd has no espec
ial ulin will bo likely to rear boys like
himself. "Liko produces like."
I'.y the time a boy has reached tho
ago of eighteen or nineteen years
(often long bofuro that time) ho will,
if he have within him the material of
which men are made, have made n
selection of his life work. If after
having passed his early life amid the
attractions nnd pleasant surroundings
of farm life he has n strong preference
for some other vocation, mechanical or
professional, he will be likely to bend
every effort to its attainment All tho
farm born nnd farm bred boys nre not
going to stay on the farm. f'onio of
them nre needed for oilier fields of ac
tlon, and when they have n strong na
tural Inclination for that other Held
the sooner nnd more actively they be
gin their preparation for it the better.
If one decide for n farm life, the prep
aration for It should bo thorough nnd
careful. The day has passed for tlio
energetic boy to bo satisfied with in
different preparation for nny busi
uess, whether professional or pastoral.
Ho must be educated in any lino to
meet the competition of the age in
which ho Is to live and work. Tho
higher bis education and the moro
thorough ills preparation for his work,
tlio more interest ho will tnko in It,
and tlio greater tho consequent suc
cess. There has never been n time in tlio
history of the present generation when
the prospects of tho farmer wero
brighter. Steam nnd electricity aro
year by year bringing hlin in moro
direct contact with the commercial
world nnd its markets. Ho can buy
cheaper and sell higher than nt nny
time for years. Free agricultural
schools are to-day within the reach of
every farmer's son, and it costs less
for n proper fitting for agricultural lifo
thnu is required in nny other profes
sion (for farming is n profession).
There should be n free nnd full feeling
and sympathy between father nnd son
iu tlio plans for work nnd the future.
The son should bo consulted nnd ad
vised witli ns if ho were a partner in
tho business. Ky precept and example
he should bo taught to respect his
mother nnd sisters nnd pay them tho
little attentions to which they nre en
titled. It takes something more than
external surroundings to coustituto
"Home." Whatever they may be, they
are the mere ndornnients, necessary. It
Is true, but, ufter all, home Is whut Its
Inmates make it Mutual Interest,
mutual confidence, and mutual love,
theso three, nnd tho greatest of them
is love, for where It exists tho others
will be found. Where It does not ex

The Flrat Dlmnond t Klmberley.
It wns not until the autumn of 1870
that tho first diamond was found on
the present site of Klmberley. There
was a sbnllow, circulnr depression,
known as Putoitspan, on the edge of
which a farmer nunied Van Wyk lived
In a cabin plastered with mud. ThU
hut bad no architectural pretensions,
but, In its way, it went beyond the
luxury of Fifth avenue, for the mud
with which It was daubed was sprin
kled with diamonds. Ono day Van
Wyk's children prospected the plaster,
lug of their home and extracted lev
erol gems. The furmer and his friends
began digging at the spot from which
the mud had been taken, and found
more diamonds.
Miner swarmed in, and a new enmp,
called Dorstfouteln, sprang up. In June
of the next year the Klmberley mine
proper one of the four great deposit
that form the present Klmberley
group yielded its first diamond. Co

Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of
rcruun, tho national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave
this remedy bis endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Fcrmia
has been used in his family, where it Is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements servo to Indicate the wonderful hold that rertina has

I-ost In t its Grass.
There is surely no country half a
world away in which the Occidental
traveller expects so much delight and
so little danger as in Japan. Yet Mr.
Truest Fuxwcll has recently related a
tale of terrible adventure experienced
in Japan by an Knglisliwoman but a
few days after her arrival. She was
staying at a little country village anion
the hills and had gone out in the morn
ing to gather flowers. The path ran
across the uplands, where there is a
wild and lonely stretch of country ex
tending for several miles, and the
beauty of some wild tlowers growing
in the tall grass led her to leave the
trail unthinkingly and press farther and
farther into the waving tangle. She
was a short woman, and it reached
above her head.
''Ii I had been a foot tiller," she
said, in telling her story, "I should have
laughed and been out in a minute or
two; but those few inches buried inc
alive. Almost instantly I fc't eicU, as
you do at the beginning ot an earth
quake, for, although I must have been
quite near the pnih, yet with the grass
all round above my head, there was
no knowing what would happen. I
might be f.oing right away at that very
moment, and the possibilities came like
a shock. I believe I lost my head at
or.ee. I could not think, so I kvpt
moving first one way. then another.
But pushing through this tall, lou,;li
grass is very tiring work, even ii you
are on sloping ground, and can judge
whore vnu will come out; and when it
is level all round the heart is taken out
of you from the feeling that every step
is probably burying you deeper. It w is
like being drowned." It was not until
sunset, alter a whole (lay in the blaz
ing sun, without food or water, con
stantly wandering, constantly pushin,;
and tearing at stems so stil'i and ser
rated that they quickly make the hands
bleed, that she walked suddenly out
on to open ground and fell fainting in
a heap. When she recovered the stars
were shining and she was alone 0:1 an
unknown mountain side. She slept
from exhaustion and the next day fol
lowed a winding mountain torrent over
rocky land, her shoes and her stock
ings worn from her feet, only to find at
sundown that it had led her to a nar
row gorge without one inch of foot
hold or shore. The stream dashed
through in a torrent that hopelessly
barred the way. Light-headed with ter
ror, hunger and weariness, she crouch
ed for a time in despair. Then, actuat
ed by n sudden whim or instinct, she
waded into the stream and f.ood until
alter uawn waist-deep in water, wnile a
ra.in storm pelted upon her from above.
She believed that by the rush and stip
of the water her reason and strength
were preserved. The next day she re
traced her weary way along the water
course back to the heights; thence, fix
ing anew the point to which she must
direct her steps, she made her way back
to civilization.
He Went Away Satisfied.
An old-woolly-hcaded darkey appear
ed at the dispensary of one of the hos
pitals the other morning.
"Well, uncle, what is it?" inquired
the young medico in charge of the dis
pensary. "Ah'vc got de mishuy pow'ful bad,
boss," said the aged darkey.
"Where have you got the misery?"
inquired the young doctor.
"Ah dun got it evuhywheah," replied
the ancient colored man.
"Well," inquired the doctor, "what do
you think ails you?"
"Ah think." solemnly answered the
old black, "tint Ah've dun got some
thin' de mattuh wif mah vermifuge de
pendix." "What makes you think that that's
your trouble?" inquired the doctor,
smothering the chuckle that rose up in
his throat.
"Well, suli. Ah had de nose bleed
pow'ful bad las' night an' Ah hain't no
ap'titc 'tall fo' watuhmillyons dis yeah."
"Well, it's your vermifuge dependix
that's bothering you all right, uncle,"
said the ymtng doctor, "but I'll fix you
out quick enough. Take one of these
before each meal."
He handed the old darky a little box
of bread pills, and the old woolly-head
departed with a broad grin of happi
ness, no less because he had got free
medicine than because his own d'ac
nosis of his case bad been so promptly
accepted.

In Ills Element.
A clergyman who was traveling stop
ped at a hotel much frequented by
wags and jokers.
The host, not being used to having a
clergyman at his table, looked at him
with surprise; the guests used all their
raillery of wit upon him without elicit
ing a remark.
The clergyman ate his dinner quietly,
apparently without observing the gibes
and sneers of his neighbors.
One of them at last, in despair of his
forbearance, said to him: "Well. I won
der at your patience. Have you not
heard all that has been said to vou?"
"Oh, yes. but I am used to 'it. Do
you know who I am?''

asked.
The assistant then brought another
pile and showed them to her.
"Thcsc arc the newest pattern," he
said. "You will notice the edge runs
right round tho border and the cen

"Then I will take half-a-dozen," said
the lady. Tit-Bits.
