Thero is moro profit in tho repairing department of watch making than thero ia in any other trado in tho country, un less, possibly, it is plumbing. Tako, for instance, tho main spring of n watch. Tho general prico for replacing ono is anywhere from 1.i30 to Now, a main spring to n jeweler costs littlo moro, all told nnd set, than 25 cents. Then thero is tho extravagant prico that is always demanded for cleaning a watch. Pew jowclcrs ever chargo less than $1.G0 for such work. Tito timo usually taken in doing this class of work is not moro than from a half to threo-quarters of nn hour. Tho main spring itself costs on an avcrago about 8 cents.

Ono might say that weed farming was a genuine part of tho Japaneso agricul tural system, sinco tho cntiro crop was utilized in somo fashion, cither for for age, food, bedding, beauty, mulching or tnanuro. Not a savago plant was al lowed to lead a useless life, or to dovoto its energies to tho undoing of tho farmer's "work. Though tho harmless and pretty weeds were in somo cases permitted to Hourish hi tho road gutters as well as tho hordors and this is no joke in such cases they wcro themselves sedulously weeded. It does not tako deep or intense reflection to pcrceivo that this thorough system of weed culture, so to "speak, re Jioves tho farmers of ono heavy tax on their industry, which their brethren in America abandon themselves to paving.

Tho girl Anally made ono moro effort to tear herself from the maniac. Released from tho arms of her mother, the girl staggered through tho door and fell headlong into a ditch, from which sho was rescued a fow minutes later by a party of miners. Kidnaped a School IJIrl. Nelson Moore, a widower with six children, living near Huntersvillo, Pocahontas County, W. Va., a fow days ago stole a fourteen-year-old daughter of M. W. Gordon from school, and hid with her in an unfre quented point in tho mountains. He started to leavo tho State with hor, but was captured near the Virginia lino by a party who had been follow ing him, and was lodged in jail at HuntorBville. Tho girl's father was with tho pursuers and Ared two shots at Mooro, neither taking effect. Mooro wanted to marry tho girl, and has dodged her stops for two years. Chopped Ills Head Off. Gcorgo Wothoroll, of Denver, Col., induced Charles McKano, of Pueblo, to start with him for tho mountains to visit a mining camp. Nothing moro was heard of McKano until his mutilated romains woro found in Beaver Creek. His hoad had almost boon severed with an ax, while his body was shockingly mangled. Weth- erell had murdered his victim while ho slept. Ho then abstracted $238 from McKano's pocket, stole his team and drove to Denver. Ho could not satisfactorily account for tho toam, and tho polioo arrested him on sus picion of boing a horse-thief, but when a bloody ax was found iii his wagou it appoared cortain that he commuted murdnr. Whon tho news of McKano a death waB reooived tho suspicion was verified. Wothoroll was sent to tho penitentiary on a life sentence eigh teen years ago for tho murder of a sheep herder, but, under tho law passed two yoars ago, making twenty-five years tho maximum imprisonment, Wethorell, with hia commutations for good behavior, scoured a release.

She Btruck head foremost upon a glass skylight about four feet in diameter, which formed a portion of the ground ot tho yard, and crashed through tho half inch plate as if it were pasteboard. Tearing between tho ragged edges of tho broken glass with the fearful feloc ity gained by her fall of thirty feet, tho woman's body passed between two iron girders just twelve inches apart and landed, after another fall of about twelve feet, torn, bloody and dead scarcely a foot from where ono of ths bakers was at work at a range.

In somo loealities thoro aro scarcely any of thefco pests left. Rattlesnakes have been unusual numerous in Georgia this year, and their increaio is attributed by nows papers of the State to the enforce ment of tho stock law, which pro hibits tho hog, the rattler a greatest enemy, from roaming at large. Tho general farmer, with tw hun dred acres of land, should keep fifty sheep for utility's sake alone. Such men can afford to estimate tho value of sheep from tho standpoint of meat fertilit and tho general advantage of the farm, regardless of the maiket price of wool. It costs nothing to be gentle with the cows, and it pays a big interest Tho cultivation of the habit of gentle ness when among tho cows is hi money in the pocket of the owner.

Michigan Agricultural (jollege ex periments with wheat show that sa lessened the yield of wheat, 150 pounds being sown to the acre.

When a man is too fat the doctor recommends him to eat lemons an partake of acida to rcduco his flesh All theso things the farmer knows But strangely enough ho forgets them all when ho atands in tho presence of the sour swill barrel. No woman would think of feeding a human baby on sour milk, but her husband will drive ahead and feed the calves and pigs on sour milk, and even look you full in tho faco and tell you that the calves will thrive best on sour milk. Every young person knows that nuts, after they havo dried somewhat are sweeter than whon Arst gathered But tho drying process goes on until tbey, especially chestnuts, become too hard to bo eatable. These and othor nuts can bo kept from becoming too dry by mixing them with 6and. If mixed with an equal bulk of sand, in a box or barrel, aud kept in a cool placo, tho nuts may bo preserved in an eatable condition until spring. It is important to find how much of any fodder is digested, as well as to know how much can bo grown on an acre, or eaten by a certain amount ot stock, for on tho amount digested do penus tho rosuit in nunc or oeet. in using rough foddor we must add somo concentrated food to make up for it: poverty in certain elements. Bran liuEceu moal and cotton-seed meal are best to mako tho rations complete Brewers' grains aro a cheap milk-pro ducing food, but at $3 a ton are not equal to cotton seed at $30 a ton. That labor on tho farm enables tho farmer not only to bo ropaid for such exponse, but also returns a profit can be easily shown by a comparison of crops that demand much labor in their production and thoso that cal for but littlo. A crop of celery, for instance, is ono that keeps tho growoi busy, and with oxtra help, from the time tho teed is planted until it is Anally banked up for bleaching, and as compared with corn it gives a much larger pront, though requiring moro labor. The work ia concentrated on a small area, and tho shovel Bpado and hoo must bo used to a great extent The crop, thorelore, pays a proht on labor as well as on tho matorials of which it is composed. While it is proper to nconomUo by ttBing labor saving implements, yet whero tho cost of labor ia one that increases the profits it is unwise to omit it. The Crime vii Juntlflublc.
