A LEADER Of JOURNALISM. Upright Character of Jama Oordno Uenaett la the Newapapar World, bs character of Jam Qordon Boa prtt ae leader ot Journalism U admir ably summed up Id an Interesting ar ticle by James Creetman. As no edit or, says the writer, Mr. Bennett la Im patient of political control or partner ing. He scents danger In every ap proach, and be will deliberately attack party to prove that he Is not under Its Influence. According to him, an editor should be a man In a watch tower, out of aouud and out of reach. Otherwise there would be conspiracy nd compromise. Trlrato promise are to be broken In the public Interest. Friendship nre to be regarded aa trn for the editorial conscience. Bo Mr. Henuctt la a lonely innn In a crowd, a bermlt In the midst of bustling life. I can tell one siory that Illustrates the magnificent perversity nnd shrewish nos that have preserved tbo Herald as a historic example of Incorruptible journalism. When On. Ctvepo under took to overthrow the rotten and tyran nical government of lrcsldcut Tulaclo, be bad thirty badly-armed Venezue lan to follow him. The revolution wus sanctioned by tbo people, but they were afraid, at flint, to Join Crcspo'a stand ard. Gradually, however, he gathered together a email army, and advanced upon the government forces. Palaclo and his friends bad looted the treasury, mtmey was needed to crush tbe revolt, nd a sum great enough for the pur poses could only be had In Europe. About tbls time an old friend of Mr. Bennett called upo him In Paris, and explained that tbe Veneruelun govern ment desired to place loan bonds for many millions of dollars In the Lon don market He Informed Mr. Bennett that he was to be tbe agent of Taloclo In the matter, and would make a for tune out of It Then be asked for the co-operation of the Flerald, on the score of old-time friendship, and finally ho announced that If the Herald could be little, tbe revolutionary cause, and so stimulate tbe confidence of bankers in tbe government bonds, tbe transaction woald be worth two or three hundred thousands dollars to Mr. Bennett At tblsi Mr. Bennett smiled grimly. "It Is worth a million dollars to the Herald to know these facts," he said. "I do not quite understand you," aid the friend. "It la worth 11,000,000 to support tbe other aide." "Why, Mr. Bennett, am I too late? Have tbe other men seen you 7" "No; not at all. But you bave given me proof that tbe government of Vene zuela deserves to fall It Is worth (1,000,000 to tbe Herald to be on the right aide. I shall back up tbe revolu tion, and let tbe truth be known to tbe world." In vain the friend pleaded that bta conversation was confidential, and that newspaper bad no rlgbt to take advan tage of facta communicated under the seal of secrecy. Within an hour, a cable message set tbe "wonderful machinery of the Herald In motion, and day after day -Its columns were crowded with dispatches from special correspondents In Venecueala, describing thlev ylwovt the revolutionary army nnd the weak ness of tbe government. These dis patches were reproduced In all the European captttls, and Talaclo's bonds could not And a purchaser. Without money or credit, the tyrant fell; and the first act of Crespo, after he enter ed Caracas at tbe head of bis victorious army, was to send a long cablegram, at the public expense, thanking the Herald, over bis own signature, for Its services In tbe cause of liberty and constitutional government An Eiceptiooal Case.

They ought to be cultivated and imide the most of. He Caution. Improvement Is needed In every di rection. Hut experience has taught the most of us that many things are not what they seem. It Is, therefore, the pa it of wisdom to be cautious In making changes especially ns regards seeds. He sure they nre adapted to your soil nnd climate; do uot take an other's "say so," but know for your self. Many expensive mistakes may thus be avoided. - This Is one of the principles of successful management. The Poclal Side. The social fentures of farm life are not as attractive to the young ns they should be. Town people make a study of their social life, and they are con stantly working nnd planning some new feature of pleasure aud enjoyment. The parents plan for their children and their children's friends, nnd they spend both time aud money for the! advancement of social culture. Why not Incorporate more of this Idea Into our ftinu life? It's surely worth try ing. ' A Cheap Hou Ten. It does not need an expensively built pen to house a hog, unless It Is oue of the variety that Btnnds on two legs. The genuine hog, which Is the only kind really profltable, goes lu for com fort aud not at nil for style. A pen warm In winter, with a tight roof over It to exclude rain, and floor enough for the hog to stand on while he is eating, Is better than a painted bouse of matched lumber that will cost a hundred dollars. It Is a good thing In a bog house to have a dirt floor, and that tbe hog bouse be light and strong enough so thnt It can easily be moved. Every time the house Is moved there will be a new floor, and the hog. If un rluged, will root It over. A hog left free to root In soil thnt lias uot been eonlninluuted with hog manure, will generally keep healthy, and will make healthy purk. In summer time, tho bouse Is mostly superfluous. The hog likes to be cool and will root for himself In a wallow In the moist soil, where he will lie most of the time If well fed, aud will keep In better health than In the most artistic hog pen ever built. Many of the experiments In hog grow ing begin with much too expensive hog houses. Theso make the pork cost far more than the cheaply grown hogs of farmers, who can thus undersell nthe amateur farmer, who handicaps him self by putting on too much style. Tbe Mother lien. The experienced poultry keeper rec ognizee a vast difference In mother hens, even In those of the same breed. It Is not always the most persistent sitters that are the best for raising a brood, as they are often too sluggish and ludlffereut. Tbe non-sitters are too active for the little chicks, even when they can be Induced to stay on a nest long enough to hntch. Some hens are quarrelsome, aud kill or In jure the chicks from other broKlB that come within reach. Now nnd then a hen Is found that seems designed by nuture to raise a fumlly. She Is a good sitter, a careful brooder, and easy to handle. All the chicks In the yard may And shelter under ber wings with out fear of Injury. She may be of lit tle worth as a layer, but the wise owner keeps her from year to year as one of the most valuable Inhabitants of the yards. Marketing Fallen Fruit. None but the best, perfect fruit should be sent to market. That will be worth more than the poor fruit, and lf only the best Is sold the market will be kept up to paying rates, so mat the best sold by Itself will bring more than the whole would do. The poorer quality of fruit, or that which from bruising will not keep, may be fed to stock, or if there Is too much of It for that, evap orators may be procured and the fruit be evaporated so that It will keep. On extreme naturally follows another, anl a light apple crop Is very likely next year In the localities where It Is most abundant this season. Kconom alns with Manure. It never pays to stint the manure dressing for any crop that require mneii labor to grow It All the laW.r '.s I tmiilp more effective In proportion as the soli Is made more fertile. In other words, on rich land croi that require most labor may be grown with proflt, while on poor soli the balance will bi on the loss side of the account. The proper Idea of economlilng with ma nure la to apply It where It will most aid In Increasing soil fertility. This is In every cose w here a part of the iH-ne-flt of the manure will be soon applied to growing a large clover crop. The Shepherd.

Where roots, pumpkins or silage are fed to milch cows they will drink much less water, and a cow ! that Is fattening, and Is fed on roots, pumpkins and other green food, will ofteu go twenty-four hour without upparcut desire for any water. 8yrup from Watermelon. It was the wish of an old friend of ours, many years ago, that she could have a syrup made from watermelons. She was sun-It wuld be very delicious. Hut, unfortunately, all the watermelons ; the garden produced had each year oth er aud more Imixirtant uses than to bave their Juice liollcd down Into oyrup. Hut an Iowa farmer, who grows watermelons by the acre, and cannot market all he prcsluccs, has tried the plan of using some of his surplus for syrup making. The result Is a very clear syrup, with peculiar but decidedly pleasant flavor. It Is not, however, likely ever to lie a rival o the maple, the sugar cane or sugar beet, for pro ducing syrup for general use. Ex. Rlpcnlnir Tomatoes Under Cover. lf tomato vines are pulled up ns soon as the tlrst frotit touches them and thrown under an open shed where fur ther frcczlug will be prevented, the fruit that was green when the vluea were pulled will slowly ripen from the sap furnished by the stem. We have sometimes put such tomato vinos In a comer of the cellar, where the rlpeulng went forward uutll midwinter. There are many who like tomatoes cut aud sliced with sugar und vinegar ns dress lug. Hy this means those who have vines with green totuntoes ou cau pro long their season, for two or three mouths. If they have enough greet vines to experiment with. Ex. Feeding; Oat In the Ptraw. lf oats are not ground they may Ik; prolltiibly fed lu the straw. The hone will chew oats aud straw together more thoroughly tluiu he will the oat gra n alone, and the grain may be given In larger quantities than wjuld be safe If euteu by Itself. Oat straw Is mainly carbonaceous, but it Is commonly much less bard than the straw of wheat, rye or barley and Is better for feeding to stock. Halt for Wlreworme, A Canadian farmer reports that he bus experimented and found that salt Is a complete remedy for wireworms. On a patch of spring grain, he plowed up nnd re-sowed ull but one acre, which he left for trial. He sowed three hundred pounds of salt on this acre, and forty-eight hours afterwards he sowed three hundred pounds more. The result Is the wirewurm bus com pletely disappeared. An Imaginary Illness. Physicians very ofteu meet with peo ple who are carrying around Imagin ary ailments and who really believe themselves as badly alMiolcd as they assert Some curious casiw have been noted. A lady had been conllned to her bed many months with an Illness which wholly deprived her of the use of her lower HinlH. The doctor who attend ed her failed to discover the nature of the affection, which might ordinarily have been attributable to several caus es. Examination, however, revealed nothing calculated to throw light on the matter, aud the din-tor, after pa tient aud exhaustive analysis and at tention, came to the conclusion that the Illness was Imaginary. Although he discreetly kept this opin ion to himself, proof was eventually forthcoming as to the accuracy of bis view. Helng lifted in the sheets out of her bed oue nay, while the mat tress was rearranged, the lady sur prised her attendant by suddenly Jumping from the couch on which she had been placed, with a loud expres sion of alarm. It was discovered that she had been laid upon a needle cush ion Inadvertently left on the sofa, and thnt the sharp points i f several needles had pressed violently Into her back. The contretemps revealed the fact that she could stand easily. The longest Running Jump.

Atlanta Journal. Divorce and Insanity.

From this, Mr. Bsltus argue, that "divorces not only wreck ' the homo, but sometime wreck the In- cypresses, almost awakening snperwtl tcllect Human affections are pro- tlon, and the swamp hickory, with Its fouudly mysterious; tho ties that asso- peculiar foliage and small but rich I elation weaves are enigmatic realities; sweetnut, upon which the far-famed ' and when, through caprice, folly or : raxor-backed hog aud tho beautiful j sin, they are trampled on, It Is nature j Krl,y Hiulrrfl feast In profound silence, that punishes and the killing of love . t,ut (ioubirj with voracious appetite.

Stones seem to have fallen all through the eruption, sometimes lu one place, tometlmes In another. Not long after the ilrst expulsion of smoke, a iii'tro hoy was tending goats on a hill side: I have sivu the place often. Sud denly a small stone fell near him, and thi n another. He thought that soiim of hi playmates were pelting him f""" bushes, and ho l'gau to throw i smiles in return, inn me wimi was ' too uiiiHiinl, for It was the mountain ' that was throwing stones at him; and ! ere long he fled In terror, leaving his j goats to their fa to.

When tho eruptlou was over and people the mouiiUIn aKa. t.iey , i . i. it.,ii visited -all changed. Instead of the smoking cone, there was a lake of: water nine hundred feet below, tilling , the whole area, and so deep thnt no oue has ever been able to fathom It. i And ttcsldo this, separated from It only , by n thin wall, they found a new cm-, tor, even larger; It was nearly a mllo : long, three quarters of n mile wide, nnd eight hundred feet deep, with sides j like walls. That pit was blown out i by the great explosion. j I have stood between the two era- i tent, and looked dowu Into them. Tho ! new olio I green and pretty now, with busing ami fern, and no signs of tiro; but the old one Is a hideous depth of gray green water, through which bul bles are always ascending and burst ing Into sulphur fumes at the top. Sometimes the wind cnrrles these fumes over the neighboring planta tions for mile around, ns If to warn people that the old tires are not yet extinct.
