That Tired Feeling It Is remarkable how many people there are who have That Tired Feeling and seem- to think it is of no impor tance or that nothing need be done for it: They would not be so careless if .they realized how really serious the malady is. But they think or say, "It ' will go off after a while." . AVe do not mean the legitimate . weariness which all experience after a hard day's work, but that all-gone, worn-out feeling; .jvhich is especially overpowering in the morning, when the body should be refreshed and roady for work. It is often only the Hood's Sarsaparilla Makes Pure Blood. An Aristocracy of Brains Pint Cash. Scribner s for May: An aristocracy brains that is to say, an aristocracy of composed of individuals successful and prominent iu their several callings teems to be the logical sequence of our institutions under present social and industrial conditions. The only aris tocracy which can exist in a democracy is one of honorable success evidenced "by wealth or a handsome income, but the character of such an aristocracy will depend on the ambitions and tastes of a nation. The inevitable economic law of supply and demand governs here as elsewhere, and will govern until such time as society may be reconstructed on an entirely new bask. Only the leaders in any vocation can hope to grow rich, but in propor tion as the demands of the nation for what is best increase will the type and characteristics of these leaders im prove. The doing away with inherited orders of nobility and deliberate, pat ented class distinctions, gives the en lire field to wealth.

With each succeeding year he grew more and more pessimistic. Life failed to give him the amount of enjoyment he craved outside of his art; and except in the society of women he did not seem even commonly happy. But for the fair sex he had ever a joke and a smile. It amused him to shock their feelings, and when they opened their eyes wide ly at his audacity, he never failed to enjoy it. lie believed that a knowl edge of woman was necessary to an artist; and if a young aspirant to any artistic calling asked his advice, his first question was, "Have you loved yet?" For he believed that a man who could not love was incapable of becom ing an artist He himself could not be accused of any failing in this case; for his loves were almost as many and vari ous as his days. He had all the faults and all the virtues of his artistic call ing, and in every sense of the word lived for his art and his fancy, regard less of all things. His was a true Bohe mian nature There was a certain roughness, want of tact, and even brutality in his na ture that made itself disagreeably felt at times. His was not a temper to be tried. Up to a certain point he could hold it in check admirably; but any thing beyond this caused an explosion of wrath that was terrible. As in his physiognomy, so in his temper there was much of the lion. Those who did not know him consequently feared him, for his personality was one that awed, especially in the latter years of his life. Alexander McArthur in the Cen tury for May.

Taken together, these figures show that the gross earnings of corporations supplying gas and electricity and having street car privileges in New York city exceed 935,000,000 per an num. Their net earnings are in excess of 814,000,000. The amounts paid by them into the city treasury are only nominal. The earnings increase from year to year because of the growth of the city. Competition among them is impossible, because street railroads cannot be paralleled; and it would be unwise and impracticable to attempt to charter new gas companies continual ly. The streets would be constantly torn open, and the health of the citi zens endangered; and then no sooner would they be closed up than the two companies would enter into an alliance, either for maintenance of rates or for consolidation. This has been the ex perience of New York, and, in fact, of all great cities. Private competition being imposible, some kind of public control seems de sirable that would either keep the charges down, so that the returns would be reasonable, or that would se cure to the treasury of the city the profits lieyond fair interest on the cap ital. The figures given above show the overwhelming importance of control by the city of its valuable franchises. "A Chapter of Municipal Folly' by A. C. Ilernheim in the May Century.

Farming la Argentine. The London Times says: The eighty fourth meeting of the Royal commis sion on agriculture was held on Friday, Mr. Shaw Lefevre in the chair. Mr. D. J. Brett, a ranche owner in the province of Santa Fe, Argentine re public, was examined. He stated that he had been in Argentina thirty-five years and had had a long experience in agriculture and stock raising in that country. Wheat growing in the repub lic was for the most part in the hands of Italian colonists, though Swiss and French immigrants were also engaged In this industry. Some of the best colonists were natives of the Basque provinces. The colonists as a body were a hard working community. They labored over Bixteen and seventeen hours daily, including Sundaj-s. The women worked on the land, and the children drove the plows as soon as they were old enough. The soil was eas ily worked, and no manuring was nec essary. Laborers were very little em ployed in the wheat growing districts except for a few weeks during the harvest. The bulk of the work was done by the colonists and their fami lies. Occasionally laborers went out from Italy to Argentina for the har vest and returned home again when the SAGE HONEY CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA. HaSJ9S8s8Bs9ssssssssslHsss bbbbbbbbhsbi9Bbbhbbbbbbbbbbb b?!

The above illustration shows a plant that is noted as the source of the sage honey of California. Tht honey production from this source it immense. The season is long, as the bees first find the plants In bloom in work was over. The wages were about $2.50 a day. Most of the old colonists in the wheat growing sections of the republic had purchased their land, but i in recent years immigrants had usual ly rented their land, and the majority paid a produce rent ranging from 9 to 18 per cent of the crop they grew. Machinery and implements were gener ally obtained by the colonists by pur chase on a year's credit from store keepers, and paid for in a certain per centage of the crop to be produced. The older colonists who owned the land , they worked were certainly not in debt As regarded the cost of production, the ' Italian colonist could grow wheat to be sold on his farm at a price equiva lent, at the present rate of exchange, to lis per quarter, and he would gain more by doing this than as a wage earner in the republic. Twenty shillings i a quaner in ionnon woum encourage the extension of wheat growing in the republic under present conditions.

There was a large area in the V!?!: l of about 1'?

The great value of this particular land for the cultivation of lucern had only been discovered wiinm me last nve years, and attention was now being directed to the possi- bility of developing a large export trade in cattle and sheep to the United King- dom. Hitherto cattle rearing in the republic consisted, to a great extent, in the improvement of the stock by tho importation of good blood from Great Britain and elsewhere. One great ad- vantage possessed by the Argentina breeder was the fact that his stock never required housing or hand feed ing, and in this way the expense of maintaining buildings was avoided. The climate was such that the cattle and sheep could be left out all the year j T,siirift """ ' i A strawberry That Faiirti. Mr. Smith has been raising strawber- ! nes for ten years or more, writes Mr. Crawford in Strawberry CulturisL He feiuo an uh uiupa iui refuue oniy, , belongs to no horticultural societv takes no horticultural paper, and takes but little stock in any new fangled no tions. He raises the Wilson and Cres cent in thick matted rows, and takes as many crops from the same plantation as possible. One of his boys, Johnnie, found some small seedling plants and obtained permission to set them in the ' garden wnere early lettuce and onions had grown. This was in July. The bov i took good care of them and removed ' all runners as they appeared. Early in j the fall some. fine manure was scattered among the plants, and when the first freezing weather came the whole bed was well covered with straw. This was removed early in the. spring, .'and every weed that appeared was pulled up. Just, before the fruit commenced to ripen some straw was placed between the plants to keep it clean. There were some fifty varieties, and most of them were as large as the Crescent Mr. Smith was selling. One was much larger. The berry created quite a sensation in the Smith family, and it was their can did opinion that it surpassed all other varieties that the world had yet seen. One day Mr. Smith carried half a dozen specimens to town and gave one to each of as many prominent persons who felt in duty bound to give no end of praise. He was greatly enthused, and when he repeated some of the pleasant things that were said his family con cluded that fortune had smiled upon them. From that time on the new berry was the leading topic, and all the friends of the Smith family were informed of its wonderful qualities. After the bearing season the other seedling were hoed up and the runners of the new berry layered all around the parent plant, and carefully hoed and watered. Johnnie's father gave him a nice rich bed in the garden which he covered with manure and spaded and made almost as fine as sand. About the 1st of August there came a rainy night, and the next day while it was yet cloudy, Johnnie took Up twenty nicely rooted plants with the garden trowei and about a quart of earth to each one, and transferred them to the new bed. They never felt the change, liut con tinued to grow from the first. These were treated just as the original plant had been the year before except that a liberal amount of hen manure was ap- the valleys, and as the season advances the plants in the higher regions come into bloom. Sage honey is found in nearly all the markets of the world. The cut is reproduced from "A, B, C in Bee Culture." plied among the plants, and in a dry time they were well watered. In the meantime the old plant was making more runners, and at the end of the season Johnnie had twenty large hills and over 100 good plants. All of Mr. Smith's customers had a chance to sample the new berry the next season and compare it with the Wilson and Crescent. The editor of the local natier rPPPlVPfl n s.nmnlo nml j gave a very flattering notice in the next issue. A nurseryman in thn samn county heard of the berrv ami finnllv arranged with Mr. Smith to introduce it and give a share of the proceeds. Every effort was made to raise a stock and even the twenty hills were allowed to run. It was put on the market the next spring with a glowing description. accompanied by testimonials from the preacher. Squire Brown, and other dignitaries, as well as the clipping from the local paoer Although "the price was $2 a dozen a considerable number of plants were disposed of, mostly to nurscrvmen in various parts of the country.

The apple crop of the state has again been disposed of at a fairly good aver age price, says Maine Farmer. Yet the fact remains all the same that the sec onds have as usual been badlv in thn , way to drag down the price to a lower ; average. Most growers still insist on selling at an agreed upon price "right i through." I We still claim it would be better not toput the seconds on the market as - ffcen fruit. We complain that Nova . iScotia and Canadian fruit brings higher . nrices abroad than nnr own vet wo ctni insist that the inferior fruit shall make up a goodly part of it. We fully believe that the introduction of the evaporator into our state to a much larger extent than it has ever yet been done, and as has been done in the fruit counties of New York, would . . prove an advantage if rightly handled. The canners now take care of some of this inferior fruit. Let the evaporator come and take the rest It is estimated that in Wayne County, New York above a full million bushels of the last crop 01 mis ciass or apples was evaporated; and that in this form It was worth a full half million dollars. This disnositinn of the fruit takes it out of the market and puts it into a form of value and out of competition with the green fruit. We are strongly of the opinion that such a disposition of this class of fruit in our state would be greatly to the ad vantage of the growers. , , , mT Jm J? uflnf? en ?ur, & rmt Mt lt a plnch of carboate ot Presidents Who Were Farmers. In those halcyon days "of t agriculture ten presidents of . the United' States were called from farms. 1. Washington, the land surveyor and farmer, from Mount Vernon. 2. John Adams, of Qiiincy, who, during the last year of his presidency, said: "I am weary, worn and dis gusted to death. I had rather chop wood, dig ditches and make fences upon my poor little farm.

(It is said that most of the trees were raised by John Qiiincy Adams from the seeds which he was in the habit of picking up in his wanderings. The most peculiar interest attaches to a shellbark hickory which he planted more than fifty years previous to his death. In this tree he took a peculiar satisfaction, but he was an enthusiast in regard to all the trees of the forest, differing . in this respect from his father, whd was an agriculturist of the Cato stamp" was moire inclined td lay the axe td them than to rlropogate them.) 7. Andrew Jackson, of the' "Her mitage," in Tennessee, who, as a far mer, soldier and lawyer, was a most ex cellent type of the best Americanism. 8. Van Buren, of Kinderhook, N. Y., was called to the presidency from his sheep and wool farm, although he was a lawyer of far above average acquire ments and ability. 9. William Henry Harrison, from his farm at North Bend, O. 10. Tyler, of Sherwood Forest farm, Virginia, where he subsequently died. 11. James K Polk, of thick River, Tenn., also came from the farm to the presidency. This selection of presidents ffom rural homes from among the farms of the country illustrates the fact that in those days there was no profession or calling which held a more exalted position in public estimation than that of agriculture. Secretary J. Sterling Morton, in the Forum. the Rise lii Price or lleef. The price of all kinds of beef on the wholesale markets have steadily gone up since the first of the year, and as a .ensequence people are crying out that there is a beef trust. In this people are evidently mistaken. There is no reason to suppose the packers have anything to do with it. for they them selves are paying for their beeves on the hoof about 25 per cent more than they were at the beginning of the year. Reference to the files of the Farmers' Review shows a steady creeping up of prices since Jan. 1. Export stock of all kinds has gone up some, in spite of adverse foreign legislation. But the greatest advance is seen in butchers' steers. On the first Tuesday in Janu ary, they sold at $2.853.55; corres ponding day in February $3.103.60; same day in March $3.404.05: ditto in April $4.004.50. For this class of meat the advance has been far more than 25 per cent. By the government report it is shown that the decrease in the cattle in Ne braska has been IS per cent since 1894, 16 per cent since 1893, and IS per cent since 1S92. In Wyoming the decrease is 9 per cent since 1894 and 29 per cent as compared with 1892. In Texas a de crease of 7 per cent since 1894. 5 per cent since 1893, and 12 per cent since 1892. Montana has lost 4 per cent since U93, 5 per cent since 1892. The state gained 2 per cent in comparison with 1894. Iowa's loss is 6 per cent since 1S94, 5 per cent since 1893 and 6 per cent since 1892. Colorado has lost 6 per cent in comparison with 1894 and gained 12 as compared with 1893. If the coming scarcity of cattle had not been foreshadowed by the January government report data of a similar nature would not be lacking now. For the week ending March 30 the decrease in the receipts of cattle at the Chicago stock yards in comparison with the same week in 1894 was 8,583 head. Since Jan. 1 there have been received at the stock yards 572,857 head, a decrease of 11S.0G8 for the same period in 1894. Shipments during the same period of time decreased 51.0S0 head and the act ual slaughter 66,970 head. The figures are official. In the same period of time the price of hides has increased more than 2 cents per pound, Texas having risen from 5V to SV&; the retail price of steaks has risen from 8 to 12 cents a pound, and in some localities 15 cents a pound, and cattle on the hoof ad anccd from late December prices to the following: December Native $3.055.50 Texas 3.403.90 Stockers and feed- April. $4.006.25 3.75 5.75 ers 2.253.75 2.654.40 On April 11 the estimated shortage in the receipts of cattle at the Union stock yards since Jan. 1 in comparison with the receipts for the same period in 1894 was 270,000 head. The short age in pounds of dressed beef for the same period was estimated to be 175, 000,000 pounds, or an average of 2,000, 000 pounds decrease a day. On the same day the receipts of cattle at the yards were 9,500 head less than on the same day in 1894. Up to to-day the total receipts of cattle at Chicago, South Omaha, Kansas City and East St. Louis for the year since Jan. 1 were estimated to be 1,360,000 head, a decrease of 262. 000 since the same period of 1894 and of 308,000 since 1893. As the average weight of most of the cattle being re ceived now does not exceed 1.100 pounds the number of selections for beef is almost cut in two. The government has been asked to investigate the alleged meat trust, and Secretary Morton has set about the work. Among officials and statisti cians, however, there is no belief in the existence of such a trust, for the pres ent rise in prices corresponds exactly with what should take place tinder the laws of supply and demand. There is a comfort to stock growers in at last being able to sell a steer for about what he is worth. Success in Agriculture. Success in r.gri culture, as well as in any other bnsiness, depends largely upon the amount of thought bestowed upon it. Energy of brain is as essential lo suc cess as that of muscle. Many men who have failed in mercantile and other kinds of business think it is an easy matter to make money on the farm. In fact, many farmers do not consider farming in the light of a business, but rather as an occupation one may fol low without any capital or special knowledge. That is the chief reason, follow farmers, that the majority of persons having farms for rent want cash rent for them. A good, practical farmer, or one who has that reputation, never has any trouble in renting for crop rent. In fact, he does not want to rent many years, for he is soon able to buy a farm. Marketing String Beans. Should be gathered as soon as the bean is about to form in the pod, before it is hardly perceptible. Do not allow them to re main on the vines until coarse. It is also advisable to see that they go into packages cool and dry, and when ex pedient to spread them out for a short time do so. When ready they should be packed in about the same packages as peas, only this rule should be ob served, especially in putting up wax beans, the beans should be nicely and evenly placed in layers on the bottom, sides and top of packages. This gives them an attractive appearance which adds very materially to their sale. Pack full and keep out all specked or rustv beans. f - - BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBK BBBBBBBBBSBBBBBnSlBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBl BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBHB BBBbB5bKBSSB BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT !

Klectric Locomotive Superior to Steam. Scribner's for May: Comparing the electric with the steam locomotive as mechanisms pure and simple, there is a wide difference between them as re gards simplicity. On the one hand we have an aggregation consisting of boil ers, pumps, cylinders, valves, piston and connecting rods, with reciprocat ing motions, while on the other hand the electric locomotive has but a single moving part, the armature, having a rotary motion. It follows that the cost for repairs of a simple media n ism like the electric locomotive would be far below that of the steam locomotive, in proof of which we need only cite the statement of Mr. Alexander Siemens, president of the English institution of electric engineers, that the electric lo comotives operating in the London I'n derground railroad ran iio,oo) miles without costing a cent for repairs.

Mr. Fiske's classification, in his His tory of the United States for Schools, of the North American Indians into Savage Indians, Barbarous Indians and Semi-Civilized Indians, is. we believe, original with him. It is a classification which enables the reader to grasp at once in a general way the condition of the Indian tribes at the time when Columbus discovered America. The illustrations in Mr. Fiske's book show very clearly the different character istics of the three classes which he de scribes. The savage Indians comprise those who wandered over the face of the earth and lived only in temporary houses: the barbarous Indians, those who lived in the long-houses and the round-houses: and the semi-civilized Indians, those who lived in elaborate structures, the remains of which are today seen in Mexico. Women AVIio l'lajr 1'okcr. I'okcr is all the rage just now among the younger element of society women in Washington, but of course it is play ed under the rose, and only those in the swim are permitted to sit at the green cloth anil dally with the seductive chips. The ladies play like men that is, they put their money up before they sit down, and cash in their chip-, at the end of the game, according to the rules and regulations provided. There has been a good deal of comment and gossip recently about the still games played by some of these women, and it is predicted that if the practice keeps up a scandal of huge proportions will be the result.
