fjarim timber <&agett* ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50. SATURDAY MORNING* DEC. 20. Farmers and Newspapers. [Louisville Ledger ] We have been frequently surprised to see bow many farmers, wi 11 to do ■in worldly riches, neglect or refuse to take some good newspaper for the benefit of himself and family. They Seem to think they have no interest in the affairs of the outside world; that they have to deal with nothing except the land they plow or the stock "they feed, and the children they are rearing in ignorance. They forget that they are a part of the great hu man family, placed upon this orb to work out the plans of the good and wise Creator, and as such have no right to dam up the great stream of ■progress. The laws-of progression are as un alterable as are any others in nature, and that mau who impedes those laws with an offspring—children unedu cated and besotted with ignorance— commits a sin which reacts not only on himself, but on his descendants for long years i:i the future. Newspapers are made to spread in telligence and improve the morals of mankind. To the farmer, above all men, they should be a necessity, from the very fact that they afford him in his isolated condition the only means 'of mixing in the busy scenes of life. Man in a hermit state becomes a per sonification of selfishness—caring for nobody and nobody caring for him. Development comes alone from asso ciating with our fellow men, and ap propriating to ourselves the advance ment which they make. No farmer should do without this social schooling, both for his own good and that of his children and in no way way can ho obtain it so fully and cheaply ns through the newspa per and periodical literature of the day; and he who neglects to receive these advantages deprives himself of light, and lives out his days in worse than heathen darkness. Courtesy Pays. A courteous man often succeeds in life when persons of ability fail. The expsrienco of every man furnishes frequent instances where conciliatory manners have made the fortunes of physicians, lawyers, divines, politi cians, merchants, and indeed, individ uals of all pursuits. In being intro duced to a stranger, his affability or the reverse creates instantaneously a prepossession in his favor, or awakens unconsciously a prejudice against him. To men civility is, in fact, what a pleasing appearance is to women, it is a general passport to favor—a letter of recommendation written in a lan guage that every one understands. The best of men have often injured themselves by irritability and conse quent rudeness; whereas men of in ferior abilities have frequently suc ceeded by their agreeable and pleas ing manners. Of two men, equal in all other respects, the courteous one has twice tho advantage, and by far the better chance of making his way in the world. Consumption of Smoke.— Thu pro prietors of the Cleveland Herald have recently applied an apparatus to their office chimney which is claimed to he a perfect preventative of smoke and a great saver of fuel The discovery, which tho Herald thinks is a very Valuable one, was purely accidental. A mechanic of that city was trying to secure a better draft for a slugglish fire, and tho thought occured to him, after other devices had failed, to try the effects of steam. A small pipe was mado to conduct the dry ‘ steam” from the top of the boiler to the up per part of the funace, which it en tered in two smttll jects, striking downward on the the burning fuel. No sooner was the steam injected in to the furnace thau the slugglish, smoky fire sprang up into a clear, bright yellowish and intensely hot flame filling the whole furnace with a loud roar. The man found he had not only secured a strong draft, but something much more important, a smokeless fire. As an experiment the apparatus was attached to the furnace of the Herald engine, which was con verted from a neighborhood nuisance of smoke and soot into a smokeless fire. “ Twice one is won,” repeated an urchin in an absent minded way. “What!” cried his father; “have I spent so much money on your edu cation with no better results than that ? Twice one is two, sir.” “Well, dad,” replied the young hopeless, “I will admit that you are right, from one standpoint; but, with all due def erence to yon as my paternal progeni tor, I must beg leave to maintain that, when I win two one-dollar bills on a horse race, twice one is won.” A lawyer received the follow ing note, accompanying a bouquet from over in ludiaua: “Deer : “i send u bi the boy a bucket of flowers. They is like mi luv for u. The nite shaid meens keep dark. The dog feuil meens I am are slave.” *©"• When is a man most polite? When ho is running for office.
