.V thin , very hard-working man of e
.Wall street , one of those who make v ,
or $20,000 a rear and struggle Vt
to keep what they have away from the
others , was looking gloomy when a
friend paid to him : "I wish I was aa
much of a millionaire us you are. " Said
the other : "You are dreaming. I am
no millionaire. " But lie soon admitted
that he was a millionaire at least in this
sense , that he possessed that for which
he would not take a million. His
friend said to him : "flow much cash
would you take for that new baby of
yours ? Would you take n million ? "
The reply was. of course : " 'Not a mU-
lion , or a hundred millions , or all tlie
money in the world. " And then fol
lowed the usual sud result of asking a
fond father about his child. "Say ,
have I told you about those two boys ?
1 catch cold in the head all the time
standing on the bridge watching the
trains go through the tunnel. I am not
exaggerating when I say that my older
boy , little as he is. knows more about
engines and railroads than I do and
the youngest keeps me In the Zoological
Garden all day Sunday. He knows all
the animals and can Imitate them all.
I am going to make a naturalist of
him , " etc. , etc. , etc. After about fif
teen miuues of this , allowed to tell a
few remarkable things about bis chil
dren , a few extraordinary plans for
their eduaction and the chance he
meant them to have , he was quite
ready to admit that If he was not a
millionaire , he was a good deal better
off In some ways. The man who wants
money and the power of self-indul
gence Is usually not very patient when
you talk to him of his other blessings.
But as a matter of fact , the actual
money is the least important of all. We
simply strive for it It Is a phase of
modern life. Our existence would b
barren , utterly worthless , but for the
children , worth ten thousand millions
apiece , the friendships that lend color
to life and the true affections thaf
make the years pass quickly.
That Is a gratifying discovery which
President Eliot has made with regard
to the effect of success or failure in
athletic sports on the number of stu
dents enrolled at Harvard. It appears
that this effect , one way or the other ,
Is so small as to be negligible. Har
vard victories do not mean an increase
in attendance. Harvard defeats do not
mean a decrease. Young men seem to
go to Harvard for reasons quite apart
from the strength or the weakness of
last year's crew or team. Here Is a
lesson that certain other colleges might
lay to heart It has been in. many
places a theory Implicitly sanctioned , if
not openly avowed , that athletics must
Te fostered In order to spread the fame
of the university and attract students
to its doors , A good football team has
been held to be one of the necessary
features of a successful Institution of
learning. Hence the efforts of the fac
ulty as well as of the students to get a
good team together. Hence the strug
gle between rival colleges to secure
the services of the best players from
the preparatory schools. Hence the
bringing in of blacksmiths and brake-
men to stay In college till the end of the
football season. Hence the resort to
every kind of questionable method in
the frantic attempt to win. It has been j
winning , not playing , that has been
uppermost In the minds of coaches ,
managers and students. A defeat for
the team has been regarded as a blow
to the college. This exaggerated notion
of the value of athletics has done great
harm. It Is well that students should
take exercise. It Is not so well that
their taking of exercise should develop
Into a vast system of athletic exhibi
tions meant to advertise the college
and leading to ugly features of profes
sionalism. The act of contest between
man and man and between team and
team Is not without Its educational ef
fects. Wbat needs to be eliminated Is
the glorification of athletics at the ex-
lense of other more important elements
In college training. President Eliot has
shown that perhaps colleges are mis
taken In thinking tbat their prowess
with the oar or at the bat has a great
deal to do with their material prosper
ity. At any rate , he has shown that
the two things have no connection at
Harvard. The great work of the uni
versity goes on whether the teaoic win
or not This Is as It should be.
A Task for the Cook.
A good story Is told of a certain man
who had suddenly become rich whose
desire to "show himself off" was only
exceeded by his Ignorance. At dinner
one day one of his guests , a well-known
literary clergyman , said :
"I dined at X's , and he gav us a
capital epigram at dessert. "
The "new rich" was humiliated. Hft
had no epigram. After his guests were
gone he called his cook.
"Didn't I give you carty blanchy for
this dinner ? " he demanded. -
"Yes , sir you did , sir. " replied the
cook.
"And didn't I tell you to have every
thing that anybody had ? "
"Yes , sir-you did. sir. "
"Yes. Well , now it seems that at X's
they have epigrams at dessert , andi
good ones , too , aucl folk miss "em when
they come here. Now , you'll have to
serve up epigrams , and. what's more ,
cook 'em better than any one else ! "

A liifthijr Machine.
The device shown is just the thing
for the farm that is operated bj one
man with occasional help , as many
farms are run. A platform , of any di
mensions desired. Is built of heavy oak
planks with a hole cut in the middle
in which is inserted a post made of
timber three or four inches square. A
slot is cut in this post to extend nearly
one-half its length , and is an inch and
a half wide. The lever should be made
of timber one and a half inches wide
so as to fit snugly in the slot This lever
is bolted into position. A number of

holes should be bored through this
lever so that n longer arm may be had
on one side of the post when wanted ;
as a rule the lever works best when it
extends about double the distance on
one side. If the object to be moved is
heavy It may be best to spike the plat
form to the ground , which may be read
ily done by the use of long wooden pegs
driven through boles bored in each cor
ner of the platform. It will be noticed
that two holes are bored In the post ,
below where the lever arm is fastened ,
permitting the operator to lower the
a : in to suit the work he has to do. This
111'ter will be found very handy in mov
ing logs , grain In bags and other heavy
things which must be handled on the
farm.
Growing 8orjhnm for Stock.
The failure of the corn crop last year
will induce farmers to plant more or
less of other/things the coining season.
Alfalfa , millet sorghum and speltz
will all be tried , and in some localities
one or more will be found a most de
sirable addition to crops for stock. The
culture of sorghum Is extending , and
tests have proved that its culture is
not confined to favored sections , but
that It can probably be grown with
success wherever corn can be grown.
The plant is drought-resisting , It yields
heavily and the stalks , If properly
cured , are eaten and relished by all
farm stock. The main trouble experi
enced with sorghum Is in the curing
the 1 crop seems to be as easily raisrnl
as corn , but it is best cured under
cover by setting It In small shocks
along the wall of a shed. It may be
cured In the field , like corn , if put up
In small shocks. Every farmer with
cows or swine should give up an acre
of ground this spring for sorghum. You
may not be able to grow it wrth full
success this year , but will learn its
needs thoroughly , so that the next sea
son it will be a success.

Does Sheep-Snistnj ; Pay. a
To this the raiser
question sheep on t
and at n low value will undoubtedly t
, and the man high
mswer yes on price j
and no. It would seem as it' SOUK'i i
hlug was wrong with this state of af-
'aiw. Year by year the raising of
heep in large numbers changes from
Jie high price farm to the one where
and is cheap. It may be true that in
he East where farms are held at
rices more than double tbat asked for
and In sections of the West farmers
aiu not afford to raise sheep , yet why
lot ? In a.ny section where sheep can
e raised without the winter season
f feeding being too long sheep should
e raised with profit regardless of the
and value of the farm , within reason ,
f course. It Is largely n question of "
ntelligent management , just as with
any other croy. Everything seems to
point to a decided change in methods
during the coming years , and the
thoughtful farmer with some knowl
edge of sheep raising Is beginning to
feel that by keeping up the fertility
of his farm he can raise sheep as profit
ably for his market as his distiut com
petitor for his.
The Ideal Farm Home.
Forty years ago this subject would
have meant something quite different
from what it does at present , says In-
, diana Farmer. Then a plain frame
building , vrith plastered walls and a
brick chimney would have seemed a
great advance on the double log cabin ,
with its stick and mud chimney at
either end , the well sweep in the yard ,
chickens roosting In the trees or in
the front yard was not deemed out of
place in early days , and shade trees ,
shrubbery and flower beds were ex
ceptional , If not unknown.
The Ideal farm home as we now re
gard It , must have many ornamental
features and numerous conveniences
that in pioneer days were unthought
of. As to externals our first thought
Is regarding walks and drives. They
should be dry and clean. Mud should
not be tracked into the house , and to
prevent this gravel should be used
freely , not only to make walks to
barnyards and outhouses , but to build
drives from the road in front to the
wagon shed In the roar. A shed or
covered way ought to extend from a
side porch of the house to the drive so
the ladies can enter or depart from the
carriage dry shod. It must have a
telephone connecting with all the
neighborhood and the towns and vil
lages near. It can have a dally mail ,
which it easily can have if the roads
are what they ought to be. It must
have shade trees , vines , shrubbery and
flowers in the blue-grass lawn , and a
small fruit as well as a vegetable gar
den , well stocked with the best varie
ties and well tended , and it should be
convenient to the kitchen , so as to be
most available and useful.
Shield for the Cram per.
J. F. Granger , of Waukesha County ,
Wisconsin , writes Iowa Homestead : "I
enclose a sketch of a cood nlan to k n
a horse that Is an
habitual craraper
from getting his A
tail over the line
and giving trouble.
Buckle two
lengths of light leather from hip strap
arouud the tail above the breeching ,
making it fit easily and loosely over the
tail. From the buckle of the crupper on
each side fasten a perpendicular strap
on each side of the rump. Make
leather network down to the bottom
piece , and one will have a device tha
will let the horse switch his tall and a
the same time will prevent any trouble
coming from getting his tall over the
lines. "
Wheat as Stock Feed.
The Topeka State Journal says that a
miller and grain dealer in McPherson ,
Kan. , says there is less wheat in Mc
Pherson County than for many years
at the same date. The scarcity of corn
and it § high price have led many to
feed it to stock. He claimed to know
of some who bad fed out 5,000 bushels
and one man , who sold 7,000 bushels
last July , had since bought 8,000 bush
els to feed oat , and another had bought
15,000 bushels for the same purposi.
He estimated the amount fed on the
farms in that county at not less than
500 bushels on each farm , and the to
tal as not less than half the crop of
1001. While we think these figures n
may be a little exaggerated , or more
than a little If applied to more than
the one county , we do not find fault if h
they are true. Though In the Eastern
States , we used to think wheat flour
bread a luxury compared to that made
from corameal , or "rye and Indian
meal. If the farmers there cau grow
wheat so that it costs less than corn ,
let them feed it , as It has about the
same nutritive value. Not many years
ago the farmers of Kansas and Ne It
braska were reported as burning their
corn because a ton of it would not buy
a ton of coal , and made a better fire.
Now if a bushel of ground wheat will
fatten as many steers or hogs as a
bushel of cornmeal , and costs less , let
them use It. American Cultivator. ti

Beet Pulp aa Feed.
.Seven thousand sheep and loO steers Ci
are on feed on the beet pulp at the CiU
Fort ] Collins ( Colo. ) sugar refinery. The si
company also sells the pulp at 30 cents
per ton. and the sheep eat between ten '
and fifteen pounds of It each day , Ic
while each steer tucks away from 100
to 150 pounds daily and often bawls
for more. The feeding is largely of II
the experimental order as yet. The IIcl
officials say that they will import some fr
grain in order to finish the animals tl
properly before sending them to mar

Cost of Keeping a Hen.
There is considerable difference of y , <
opinion as to how much it costs to keep ol
hen. The cost depends upon the hen's olbi
ability to forage. It is a saving and bi
clear gain to convert refuse into eggs o
and mea' The cost of keeping a hen el :
has been variously estimated at from
50 cents to $1.50 a year. It costs more
iu the Northern States than in the
Southern States. It costs more if the

hens are confined than if they are al
lowed to run.

HOW THEY DO ABROAD.
En London They Fine Those Who Over-
crowd Street Cura.
Henry Cuthbert. a journalist of Old
Broad street , city , was summoned n
North London court for assuuitiiu
Thomas John Whiting , managing di
rector of T. J. Whiting & Sons. Limit-
ed. of Fiusbury. II. W. UouulkiT
Kance. LL. D. , appeared for the coin-
plainant and G. V. Young defended.
The complainant said that on thoj
morning of the IGtb of November he
was a passenger from Ba.-uet to Broad
street. The train pulled up at Dalston
Junction and as there were already two
passengers in the carriage over the rec
ognized number he ( Mr. Whiting ) re
seuted the attempt of the defendant to
enter. A porter assisted the defendant
and when the carriage door was open
ed the defendant pulled him ( Mr. Whit
ing ) out and himself got in , and in the
struggle his hand was hurt.
Mr. Fordham You protested to the
porter putting more people Into an
overcrowded carriage and still he did
so ?
The Complainant Yes.
Mr. Fordham 1 may lie unreasona
ble , but I know 1 should have protest
ed. It is abominable that passengers
should be so inconvenienced and quite
time that people knew that they tia\e
no right in an already full carriage.
But the company does not appear t
care so long as it can sell its tickets.
Mr. Whiting ( continuing ) said the de
fendant and he traveled in the samt >
carriage to Broad street and when he
got there he wanted to give the latter
into the custody of a .railway police
man.
Mr. Fordham But he did not take
him ?
Mr. Whiting No.
Mr. Fordham-The railway constable
is in a different position from the ordi
nary one. Tlu-y dress him up to Imi
tate the others , but he has no powers.
He is really only a sort of scarecrow.

The defendant said Mr. Whiting
stepped out of a carriage. He ( defend
ant ) thus saw an opportunity for a
seat and stepped in. A railway porter
was called for the defense. He admit
ted trying to put another passenger in
to an already overcrowded carriage.
His duty was to find seats for the peo
ple.

Mr. Fordham said he frequently ex
perienced the inconvenience of this
overcrowding and the matter was
made much worse when the railway
servants willfully contributed to it. He
could not help thinking that the rail
way company was In a measure re
sponsible for this assault. He believed

the London Daily Mail , and fined the
defendant 20 shillings and 2 guineas

A PRETTY FAIR LIAR HIMSELF.
Story that Won the Doctor a Record
as a Prevaricator.
They were seated around the stove
In the village store one cold evening ,
discussing remarkable incidents. The
schoolmaster bad propounded this ques
tion : "If a man tells a lie so often
that he finally comes to believe it him
self , can he be said to lie. if he con
tinues to tell it ? "
All were silent for a few minutes , but
finally the doctor said : " 1 think not
In fact , I can furnish a case where a
man told a falsehood so often that it
finally developed into a truth. "
"How was that ? " asked the teacher.
"Well , " said the doctor , "in the town
where I began practice there was a
man named John Higgins. who was
known to be the greatest liar for miles
around. One of his stories was about
his war experience. Now he had never

had an attack of rheumatism he called
the pain from the old wound , saying 8P

"Did you say. " said the storekeoper ,
'that be was the biggest liar in that
locality ? "
"Yes , " replied the doctor.
"He would lose his reputation If you
lived there now. " remarked the mer-
jhant as be. In response to a signal
from the schoolmaster , passed around
