Even the man who devotes himself to friTolity Is a more impressive character than the quitter. Lord Brassey, K. C. B., governor of New South Wales, a recognize! au- horiry on naval matters, has expressed some Interesting opinions as to the na val lessons of the engagements at Ma nila and fantlago. His conclusions do not differ much. If any, from those re cently expressed by British and other naval experts, except In one Important particular. The great spurt of speed of the Oregon at Santiago, by which It did such effective work, and the head Ing off of the Spanish vessels by the swift, Brooklyn led many to Insist on speed as one of the greatest requisites In battleships. With this view Lord Brassey is not In sympathy. After a certain speed has been attained, say fifteen knots an hour for a battleship, the English naval eipert thinks It a mistake to sacrifice protection to speed. The importance of secondary batteries. the elimination of wood and other in flammable materials, are points on which Lord Brassey agree with most of those who have discussed the sub ject The Immense superiority of good shooting over bad, in his lordship 8 opinion, was also noticeable In both en. easements, though he remarked how ever skillful Spain's seamen might have been they could not have held out long In sneh an unequal contest. Good men also, he says, are better than good ships, and when a na'lon has 1 o h. as Lord lirassey evidently iiuuks Amcri'-a has, "it Is ideal." It is a curious fact that this age of scientific enlightenment should 1 ac companied, as It Is. by a revival medieval superstitions. Men who are in doubt as to the propriety of certain business Investments, who are anxious to know the unknowable, and women who are In trouble with faithless hus bands, or maidens who sigh for unre quited love, alike seek wisdom and con solation at the shrine of tbe clairvoy ant and fortune teller. Astrology offers Its aid to foreread the possibilities of success, and by a cheerful and hopeful message for every disciple helps, pos sibly, some otherwise faint-hearted to stem the currents of adversity. There Is but one of the superstitious fads of our forefathers that seems to have fallen into innocuous desuetude. Ghost- seeing may practically be said to be lost art Tbe consensus of Judgment that a 2host is an Impossibility has pretty much, if not wholly, eliminated this figure, as a form of mental disturb ance. It Is somewhat remarkable that the same logic does not prevail to ban ish other equally alwsurd illusions. There are two axiomatic facts that should be Impressed on the mind of everv child. First, all knowledge of every sort is the result of human ex perience. Second, no human being can know anything, save as he Icarus It by experience or receives It of his fellows. There Is no such thing as Intuitive or Inspirational knowledge. That which we so denominate is merely Inference from tbe known. There is no channel or power of the mind by which a fact can be communicated or received apart from a material impression reaching the consciousness through the sense of touch, sight and hearing. From our ear liest infancy we have been taught to look to authority. It is a sad shock to the child when it first realizes that father and mother do not know every thing, and can not answer Its ques tions. Until late In our intellectual de velopment (not necessarily until late in life) we cling to the notionalist some one somewhere must know and hare runverse with the atirfeen. Millions : people live and die In that belief. Fait satisfies them In place of knowledge, and credulity holds the throne of rea son: and iwiety and our Institutions are largely built upon this sort of foun tion In more than one aepanmeni or life. In deference to our established habits of thought we admit in practice the possible truth of many things that t we are assured are utterly impossible. and in trying to maintain what we are wont to regard as the best and saving elements of society we provide a plat form and standing room for the charla tan. Oddities of Cavlte L:fe. Ceneral Merritt's jirivate secretary writes to a friend in Washington: "Ca vlte is a strange looking place. Tbe streets are narrow, bouses only one story high, and tbe borsi-s are but mere ponies. They are driven to funny little two-wheel contrivanr e. Another man and myself drove aroi nd in one of the carts yesterday afternoon, and all H cost us for the two hours we had It was 30 cents, Mexican; 15 cents, American.

Flundreds of farm buildings that con tain shivering and unthrifty stock all through the winter months could, at al most no expense whatever, be made very warm and comfortable. Open foundations and absence of any closed foundation whatever cause much of the coldness of farm bifi'.diiigs. Cheap hay and swamp grass abound In almost all sections. If a large quantity of this U cut and put about the building and held there In the manner shown In the cut, the wind would very effectually be kept out. Two strips of boards, with laths nailed to them every fifteen inches, will keep the hay very snug. When winter Is past the hay can be osed for bedding BARX BANKED WITH BAT. during the spring months. American Agriculturist. Packing; Frnit for Market. The decree cf rijieness should deter mine the time of gathering the fruit. Host kinds of pears have a better flavor If picked as soon as their growth Is completed and permitted to ripen off the tree. All the fruits should tie han dled carefully to prevent bruising, and very particular care should be taken with the tender fruits. The sorting should be carefully done, according to size and color, the wrapping to follow, but all the fruit should be permitted to cool before either Is undertaken. Throughout this work, the less han dling that Is given the longer Its condi tion will remain good. The packing should be done In such a way as to hold the rruit protectee from Jostling and bruising while i.'x transit to market, but yet it should not be packed so closely as to prevent the' air from circulating through It freely. Only such fruits should be packed as sre thoroughly sound, free from blem ish, of good shape and of reasonably good sire. Tender and soft fruits especially should lie cooled as soon after being picked as practicable. The wrappers should not lie close enough In texture to confine wltbln tbetn the moisture that comes from tbe fruit by evapora tion, or the fruit will be apt to mildew. This is often seen on oranges wrapped In a paper of close texture. The changes going on In ripe fruit generate heat, and tbls should be counteracted as far as practicable. It Is said that even In a well-refrigerated car the biat liberated fi-om the fruit will often more than counterbalance the cooling effect of tbe Ice. Hence. K is important to have rapid transportation to market oetore the heat generated by ripening process causes decay. Texas Stock and Farm Journal. Kof't for Cbickena.

I In banking up against tbe walls of basement barns, and especially Is building np a passageway to tbf en trance, there Is always strong tempta tion to ase stones plied In loosely' us a basis, where stones sre over plentiful on tbe farm. Yet this usually proves s mistake. Rats will invariably j-ffeet s lodgement among such stones and they will In time work throngs Into tbe barn basement. Besides, rals will waab dirt among tbe stones, and It will require constant attention erer year to keep tbe passage way so that loaded wagons ess be drives orer It aVsodlasT Psscbes.

Even if not ei r d at all, the root naturally strides k; . tbs soil, so that It Is ready to supply moisture whenever the growjni sh . s demand It. These seedling p:trh tr ' are quite common In out-of-'he-w . places. Sometimes a valuable n -v vari ety Is thus produced, though our experi ence of natural peach trees grown from the seed is that most of them are poor. It Is a safe proceeding toud the young tree when It has grown from spring until July or August. In that way you may know In advance what class of frnlt you may expect to pick. Ameri can Cultivator. Pitting: Potatoes. Potatoes keep better In a pit than anywhere else, but they must be well protected to prevent xero weather from catching them. They should nev er be covered deeply enough to allow them to become at all heated or they will start to grow. The first covering should be not more than six Inches deep, and this should not be Increased until the ground has frozen enough to bear up a man. Then put on a cover ing of straw, over tbe soil already on. and put on more soil, patting It down to make It shed rain. Leave the pit until actual winter has come and the ground Is well frozen, and then over all put a foot of fresh manure from the stables. Don t tie afraid of driving the frost in. for this will not happen. Keep the manure on until the potatoes are need- I ed In the spring, for the covered pit will not thaw out nor will the manure allow It to freeze any more, and the potatoes will not sprout until time for planting In the spring if left In the pit Potatoes that are to be used for seed should be placed In a pit by themselves so as to leave them undisturbed until taken out to plant. Farmer's Voice. Farm Profit. When does the farmer make a profit? There art- hundreds of farmers who have Ix-i-oine wealthy, yet they have handled very little money and have had difGculty !u meeting tlielr obligation. There Is one hank account whieh they do not draw upon, and the d'-posits ac cumulate for years, and that is the soil. A farmer takes a poor farm, works It, adds manure, snd receives but little over expenses, but every year h.'s farm has be-oiiie more fertile arid also in creased in value. In ten or more years the farm may be wor'h five times the original cost, and It represents Just as much profit as though the farmer had received money. All farms are, to a certain extent, banks of deposit, where the profits of the farm Blowly accumu late. Va'nable r.orlih Ball.

Plenty of sunlight is as essential as warmth to make tbe hens lively and healthful. But the single glass narrow windows, often only a single pane, and that covered with dust and cobwebs at all seasons, and with 'ee in winder, do little good. What are needed In all benhouKt are large windows with an extra frame and glans with a space of enclosed air large enough to fill most of the south side of the building. Keep the place where tbe sunlight falls free from manure and fill this with sand or coal ashes. Fowls will dust themselves here, and basking In the sunlight they will soon begin to lay.
