“One night,” said Bon Holladay, the
pioneer of stage coaching west of tho
Missouri river, “I was bouncing over
the plains in one of my overland
coaches.
“Mrs. Holladay and myself were the
only passengers. Several stages had
been robbed within two months, and
the driver was ripping along as though
a gang of prairie wolves were after
him. Suddenly the horses were thrown
on their haunches and thestagelstopped.
“I was heaved forward, but quickly
recovered, and found myself gazing at
the morales of a double barreled shot
gun.

“I passed out tho few hundreds loose

Tlio most famous extant gems are

are magnificently cut antique ame

mainly used for vases and cups. I saw

wife and old maid daughter on tlio edge
of Lake Champlain. The whole year
round Nicholas did not a stroke of
work. His wife and daughter plowed,
sowed and harvested the crops, and in
fact did everything tliat was to be done
on the farm. Wing was noted far and
wide for his trousers. On the outside
of each leg a row of four dozen buttons
was sewed In order that Mrs. 'Wing

Farmer.' Institute. In Canada.
By providing for the holding of farm
ers’ institutes the legislature of Ontario
placed in the hands of the farmers a
simple and yet powerful instrument for
the advancement of their interests. The
gathering of the farmers of a district
and the exchanging of views upon farm
topics is of the utmost value. There is
no fanner so intelligent that he cannot
learn something from his neighbors, and
probably no farmer so poorly informed
that be cannot upon some point give his
neighbors valuable advice. Moreover,
as The Peterboro Review recently point
ed out, there is gain in giving advice
and information ae well as in receiving it
Tfca farmer is interested in the weifvf
of his neighbors, because if a section of
country obtains a good reputation for
the production of any article buyers are
attracted to it, prices are good and evory-
Itody benefits.
At those meetings the farmers have
also tho privilege of hearing addresses
by the professors at the Agricultural col
lege, and aro thus kept abreast of the
times in all that relates to the science of
agriculture. In many places the meet
ings are well attended, but in some the
farmers do not mm to have awakened
to an appreciation of tho great advan
tages of the system, and we understand
the department of agriculture is taking
means of making them lietter known.
One plan under consideration is the hold
ing of two or three special institute meet
ings at central points, with addresses to
he delivered by well known agricultur
ists.—Toronto Globe.
A Piece of liancomlie.
George S. Erwin, a Texas farmer,
was interviewed by a representative of
Tho St. Louis Republic, in tho course of
which lie said:
“Within the last year or two the funn
er has exhibited a disposition for inquiry
which lias liecn aggravating to tho high
protectionist. He has been going outside
]>arty lines and party doctrines and has
been asking how he is protected when
lie has to pay pretty much every tariff
tax in tho list and gets no return. He
lias awakened to the fact that while he
pays taxi* for the benefit of others on
his plows, his hoes, his nails, his kitchen
utensils and everything else in his house,
he gets no more for his wheat., corn,
vegetables, etc.
“This inquisitive disposition forced
McKinley to put in his bill the ridicu
lous ‘schedule G,‘ which is named ‘agri
cultural products ami provisions.’ It is
generally regarded as the biggest jiieoe
of buncombe legislation tliat this coun
try has ever been treated to. The farmer
is offered protection on articles which ho
wants to oxjiort and against which there
is no competition from abroad. He
wants a foreign market for his surplus,
and is given such protection that he
must keep that surplus until it rots in
his bams. As Secretary Jamos G. Blaine
said so pointedly, there is not a proviso
or a lino in tho law which will give the
farmer a market for another bushel of
wheat or another barrel of pork.”
Will Hurt Doth.
Mr. M. 11. Folger, a prominent busi
ness man of Kingston, Out., said in an
interview printed in Tho Toronto Globe
on tho McKinley trill:
“As Cunada is tho only country Bond
ing any considerable quantity of farm
products into American markets the law
has an apjioaranco of international un
friendliness. This is not tlie motive of
the jsirty managers, much less of the
Ameriaon people. But whether inten
tionally unfriendly or not, the measure
will injure tho interests of Canada very
mucin There can lie no doubt about
that. On tho other hand, it is not really
intended to confer and will not confer
any benefit upon tho American fanner;
my own opinion is that it will do him
material injury. If so there must come
tlie same result on the other side of tho
line that is becoming more and more
apparent here—a strong agitation for
freedom of trade, so that men may carry
on their business unhampered and un
embarrassed by governmental restric
tions.”

There are a great many touching

more so than to watch a lost dog. At
first there is a look of startled surprise
on his face when lie loses the scent,
quickly followed by a grim sort of
humor, as though pretending his be
wilderment is but a joke. He circles
round and round, and his face grows
thin and his eye almost human in its
anxious pleading. Ho starts off in one
direction, sure that lie lias found the
trail. Ho is baffled, turned back. He
looks in tlie face of all who pass, as if
questioning to know his way. He
thinks he recognizes ids master, and is
off like a flash, only to return more
anxious and eager tlian before.
Ho gives himself no rest, but doubles
and pursues and turns back until ail
hope is dead in his faithful canine
breast, and lie starts off with a long
lope down the street Then it is tliat

os late as tlie invention of printing, in
the Fifteenth century.
A hundred years ago some steel pens
were made in Birmingham, England,
by Mr. Harrison for Dr. Priestly, and
some of these passed into the luuids of
Sir Joseph Mason in his early days
with Mr. Harrison, but ail of them
iiave been lost Tlie first pen of metal,
of a date beyond all question, is one in
a Dutch patent book of 1717. At the

to a “steel and gold pen,” but these
were evidently luxuries only.
It was about 1823 or 1824 tliat the
great revolution in making pens by a
cheaper process— the hand screw press,
which pierced the pens from sheet steel
—began. Previously pens had been
made from steel or gold rolled into
tubes and with a Joint forming tlie slit.
These required considerable labor to
shape them into pen form.
The use of the screw press belongs to
the period of John Mitchell, Joseph Gil

review of the facts it seems to bo clear
that John Mitchell has the best claim
to be considered as the Introducer of

“Well, I do not think it is conducive
to health to do so. You see, there are
apt to be so many bumps and depres
sions in tlie surface of a feather tick,
and tliat alone is enough to condemn
it. Through tho day the body is in so
many jiositions and tho joints are
bended so often that at night one's
limbs should be perfectly straight, so
as to give tiio blood a chance to circu

fectly straight on a feather bed, and,
besides, tlie soft, downy couch ener
vates one nnd tends to make one yawn,
stretch and lie with doubled up limbs.
“Thus lie gets too warm, and soon a

ly a cold results. Then the head sinks
Into the feather pillow, and often the
side buried thus will perspire. This is
uncomfortable, and the sleeper turns
over. Tiio moist skin is exposed to the
night air and a cold results. Then it
is so liard to wake up when sleeping on
feathers. It makes one lazy. Sleep
seems to be the chief end of existence,
and when one is foreed to leave the
bed by tlie cares of the day he leaves
it with a yawn. He yawns and stretches
himself for hours afterward, and jlic
ennui follows him all day, and when at
evening lie retires to his chamber filled
witli the determination to study or
read, the sight of the billowy bed
tempts bun to stretch upon it at full
length for a moment, and before he
knows it lie is to. - drowsy for anything
but sleep.
“A person does not need as much
sleep as people who use feather beds
generally take, and tlie same persons
when they lie on a spring mattress or
a straw tick for a few weeks are sur
prised at tlieir own freshness and vigor.
The Germans use feathers almost uni
versally, and they claim to be a hardy
race, but any one with ordinary ob
servant powers can see that Germans
age much earlier in life than other peo
ple.”
“Yes,” sakl a Walnut street, mattress
maker, when tlie reporter informed
him of the doctor’s opinion, “and we
sell very few feathers to any but Ger
mans. I agree with tlie doctor in
every particular, and. speaking of beds,
you would be surprised to see what 1

the beds are shocking as a rule.
These are made of topsv turves mat

way to have a bed is with a padded j
spring mattress for a foundation, and n

“Of all the people, and 1 have cus
