Ilenning, a prominent farmer of Whcatfield Calhoun county Calhoun rnnntv the other day. "Things have, changed a great deal since the old pioneer days of Michigan farming," said he, "and it is about all that nine out of ten of our farmers can do now to keep up existence and the in terest on their mortgages. What 13 it? Well, that is easier to ask than answer. To begin with, farmers with growing families live more extravagantly now than they used. I remember when I was a lad we could all bunch together. get a large pi 'nic wagon, take our best girls and hold our country dances and one dollar apiece for the whole would have scared us to death. Now that amount would scarcely buy the new necktie which the Jarmcr's boy or girl would have to have for such an occa sion. I have a farm of nine hundred acres, well stocked and provided with every kind of labor-saving machinery. If any man wants to buy it ho will be surprised how pleasantly I will talk to him. I never get beat on anything, but that farm carao pretty near doing It. No business man should ever think of farming. In every case he'll find it expensive luxury. Ono of our difll culticsthis year is to secure competent farm hands. On our farm we are pay ing one dollar and fifty cents a day, all found, and the chief worry of my fore man is to get sufficient help.' Plenty of Idle men in the cities, oh? Well, they wouldn't be worth shucks to us. The -nntaWHtv In fnrmW i as in anything else. The solution of the problem? It may be in operating on a more extensive scale, thus cheap- cningthocostin everv branch of tho work, but I doubt if even that will make farming attractive cnonrrh for men with capital and ability which can be employed more pleasantly and prof itably in any other business. Thcfut.i.-e of the small farmers of Michigan, par ticularly those who aro mortgage-ridden, is indeed a sorry one to contem plate." POINTS ON DRICKS. Some tnterestlnsr 1'ncM Concer-tine; tha History of I'lain liiiildlnic Ilatorlal. In a paper on "Briclc Manufacture" recently published by F. A. Calkins in the Transactions of the American So ciety of Civil Engineers, tho following Interesting historical facts wero brought out: The art of brick making is supposed to nave originated in ancient times with tho powerful races found in Etrvnt. Clmldca and China, in the old world, and in Mexico and Tern in tho new. The ruins of buildings and tombs left In these countries testify that thcy were skillful builders. T.awlinson states that the dimensions of bricks baked bv tnoC1'aldeans were 11 Jf, incjics square Bn1 2 '""-'lies thick, and those of later date 13 inches square and 3 inches thick, a nrr hn, .iil. , . . .

The first bricks manufactured and ourned In this country were at New Uuven, Conn., in tho year lO.iO, nnd the ncxt city to claim early manufacture s Philadelphia, where thcy were made thirty-five years later, in lCS.-i. The Urst brick machine of which wo have any record was made in Philadelphia in ' " was a son clay machine opcr- a ted by horse power. This machine was destroyed in 18-U durinrr a rint. caused by tho briekinakcrs fearing it would take bread out of their mouths, In 1847 a dry clay machine was made in tho latter city. That the molding of bricks by hand can bo done rapidly was ciuany demonstrated at Cincinnati in 1832.- The -molding of 0,000 bricks was then considered a regular day's work. In a contest at this day between two expert molders, working from sunrise to sunset, one molded !M,700 bricks and the other 115,470. A similar number were molded at a contest In Philadel phia at a later date. LIONIZED THE WRONG MAN. A Prosaic English Merchant Mistaken at Mooter.. for a Iteuowncd Poet.

SNAKE C10NC3 CF CCYLON Thoy T "ill Com tl:o l.lto of a Cobra, th Mont Deadly of Serpents. The so-called "snake stones" of Ceylon aro celebrated for tho cflicacy which they aro supposed to have in curing the bites cf venomous serpents. Secrecy 13 maintained as to the method of tnoir manufacture, which b a lucrative busi- ?,CSS carri';d on by monks, who supply the merchants of India with thorn. Thcy are employed in the familiar man ner by being placed on the wound, their absorbent material sucking up the blood and incidentally the venom, na ii. claimed. There is plenty of authentic of remarkable cures pcr. evmence 01 remarnauic cures formed by such snake stones, thonrh science in na yet reluctant to place any belief in them. Sir J. E. Tcnncnt, to whoso work on Ceylon a writer in tho Washington Star Is indebted, tells of an occasion when he was riding along a jungle path on the island, and he saw one or two natives who were approaching suddenly dart off from the road and return immediately with a cobra, tho most deadly of all serpents, grasped by the head and tail. The man tried to place the snake in a covered basket, but handled it so inex pertly that it seized him by the finger and retained its hold for a few seconds. to follow.

It has been ascertained with certainty that these snake stones are usually nothing more than pieces, of burned bone. The Me::i.:an recipe for for making a snake stone is to take a fragment of deer's horn of any conven ient size and shape, cover it with P3' incloso both i:i a thin piece of sheet copper and pla-je tho parcel in a charc0!l1 fir.c until tho bono is well - eu com remove ino cal cined horn from its envelope, when it will be found to be a solid black fibroin substance.

I cannot see that tne sultan in any sense governs any thing or anybody, lie makes no roads, builds no harbors, fosters no trade, ad ministers no justice; he only keeps hit pla?e by setting one tribe to plunder another or by keeping whole pnpula- t'onn 'n a state of starvation, and hence una'Jl to resist his exactions, Aa hc p'ny off the tribes within sc ne P'ays oil tho nations without. He 'tecps out their influence by fomenting ! cir rival jealousies, in Tangier Itself, the diplomatic capital of Morocco, there Is not a wheeled carriage Whv? lie- caus; there is not suCicient cohesion amon, g the consulates and legations to get a carriage rad made. This is called the status in quo and is some times lauded as an admirable policy. Look beyond Tangier; I sco between ranges of metalliferous mountains, upon whoso slopes herds of wild horses, enough to set up the continent witb cavalry, or tame cattle for its commis sariat, could be raised, vast alluvial plains, well watered, utterly untouchec' by industry, yet capablo of bearing gTain and fruit enough to supply hali Europe wheat, oranges, lemons, In dian corn, sugar, grapes, olives, dates, bananas, and every kind of vegetables. I sec a great navigablo river, thcLcbon. down which all this produce might be floated, between Fez and the scacoast, 'or rapid export. Not a steam plow or a harrow or a thrashing machine will thf sultan permit; not a square foot will h sell; not a steamer or trading boat may ply upon rivers which should be at once the boundaries of teeming and prosper ous provinces and tho arteries of cotv mopolitan commerce.

The edelweiss does not sub mit readily to cult ivation in gardens.

"I submit the within described Invention in competition for the Tweuiy-Bve hundred Dollar Prize ottered by the Press Claims Compauy." 0 BLANKS lK.Tim COni'ETIOSi; This is a competition of ralhcr'an uuusal na- lure. It is common to oiler prizes for tbe best story, ur picture, or architectural plan, all tbe competitors risking ihe loss of their labor and the successful oue merely selling his for the anioun of the prize. But the Press Claims Company's offer is something entirely differ ent. Each person is asked merely to help him self, aud ihe oue who helps him self to the best advantage is to be rewarded by doing it. i he prize Is ouly a stimulus to do something that would be well worth doing without it. Ihe architect whose comneiltive nlu i..r . ' club house ou a cerlalu corner is nut occept ed has spent his lubor ou something of very iltleuse to hliu. But ihe person who natuut.. simple aud useful device lu the Press Claima Company's competition, need not worry if ha an w secure a prize. He has a substantial result to show lor hla work-one that wll coiumaud ita value iu the market at auv time. The man who uses any article In his dallv work ought to know better how to Inmva it ihau the mechanical expert who studies it only from the theoretical point ol view. Uet rid of the Idea that au imniuveiueiit ii h t. simple lo be worth patenting. The slmulertue oetier.
