In most every community there nn u
lot of lnnfnrw who nlmply don't want to
work, would not work If they hml a

who they "boat" know. Huoh peoplo

Japanese auction is a most solemn
affair. The public do not call out their
bids, but writo their names, together
with the. amount they are willing to
pay, on a slip of paper, and put In a box.
These are looked through, and the
article awarded to tho person who has
made the biggest offer.
Some one has calculated how fitr-a
farmer has to walk to put in and attend
40 acres of corn. To plow the ground
with a 11 Inch plow he walks 3T0 miles,
to harrow it thoroughly beforo planting
he walks 50 miles, and to cultivate It
afterward he will have to travel .T0
miles, making a gracd total of 7"0 miles,
besides gathering.
An exchange sizes up the mismated
marriages In this manner: Nino-tenths
of the unhappy marriages are the result
of greon human calves being allowed to
run at large in society pasture without
any yoke on them. They marry and
have children before they have mus
taches, are proprietors of two pairs of
pants, and the little girl they marry
are old women before they are 20 years
old. Occasionally one of these gosling
marriages turns out all right, but It Is
a case of clear luck. If there was a law
against young galoot marrying beforo
they have all their teeth, we supposo
tho young cueses would avoid it in some
way. f
Norway is a small country, and the
sayings and doings of its people do not
get into newspaper tyo very often; b-.it
tho Norwegians, nevertheless, have a
claim upon celebrity, due to the fact
that the average length of life is greater
there than in any other country In
Europe. Recent statistics show that
for males the average is forty-eight
years and three months; for females it
Is fifty-one years and three months. It
is a valuable commentary on this that
.tho mortality in Norway is 17 per cent
lens than the center of Europe, this
being due to tho fact that a far smaller
number of Infants die there than in any
other country.
An unknown loet gets in a Maud
Muller parody as follows: "Jake Mul
ler on a summer's day, raked the
meadows sweet with hay. The mule
with which ho raked tho hay was
inuckle dun with spots of gray. Jake's
shirt was a hickory, his pants were
brown, with a patch on the part where
Jake sat down. Jake cussed In a way
it was sad to see, when the mfilo went
"haw" when he said "gee." A bumble
bees' home in the stubbles lay, where
Juko and the mule raked the clover hay.
A rake tooth ran through the bumble
home, and the boes came out and began
to roam in search of the man on that
summer's day who raked the meadow of
clover hay. They swarmed inside
Jake's shirt and quickened the mule to
mighty spirt. It was tough on the
mule, it was worse on Jake, and worse
still for that sulkey rake; for, the mule
turned loose in a promiscuous way and
scattered that rake o'er the bay."
The Treasury Department is the steam
plant from which all the other depart'
meats get their power," writes ex
President Harrison In an article on
'Tbo Secretary of the Treusury," in
August Ladka' Home Journal. "In the
ordinary operations of Government It la
only a collecting and disbursing agency
collecting such taxes as Congress baa
authorised, and paying out the money
as directed by law. It would be an Ideal
condition of things if the Treasury
Department received each morning just
tho aum of money it had to pay out thut
day no surplus money out of use In its
vaults, no deficit to be met by loans,
But things cannot be so nloelyud justed
Wars make burdens that a single
generation cannot boar, and thoy must',
in part, be put over upon other genera
tions, by the sale of time bonds bearing
interest. Out of the great expenditure
for the suppression of the Rebellion of
1861 it has come to pass that the Govern'
mont furnished, .either . directly or
through the National Bauks, all of the
money usod by the , people. The
Treasury Department Is now a great
-bank, and no longer a mere public
collecting and distributing agency, v It
Issues paper money, reopives It In pay
ment of customs, duties and internal
taxes, and pays It out again for salaries,
supplies and public works. It is .- also
required to redeem the greenbacks and
treasury uule to give coin iu exchange
Jot them If demanded."
Reduced Rates to the Seashore.
Kvery ona, old and young, needs rest
and recreation at some time during tho
hented summer term, and wher can it
bo obtained better than at the sctishnrn.
No other place can compare witli
Southern New Jersey in seaside resorts,
either In point of numlier or of
excellence. Atlantic City Is the most
popular resort in America, and Cape
May, Sea Isle City, Oecon City, Avalon,
Anglesea, Wlldwood, and Holly Heach
do not fall fur short of Atlantic City's
high standard.
Tho Pennsylvania tlailroad Company,
who.o object Is to give Its patrons the
cheniest rates compatible with good
service, has arranged for excursions to
the seashore from Krlo, Passe tt, Duphln,

Ordinary Slaves.
The hay on the public square was. har
vested last week. There was an
unusually good crop. This hay natural
ly belonjis to tho town cow. but of recent
years she has been deprived of her
rights she Is no longer even permitted
on the streets, much less to make night
forays into cahbago patches. Her lib
erty has been gradually usurped until
sho is now little better than an ordinary
slave. A bovine Rienzl Is needed to
restore her ancient rights and prlvl
