the city, imagining that life in the city
is more desirable than theirs, easier
and tilled with plenty of leisure to en
joy all the pleasures with which the
rustic Imagination gilds and glorifies
those distant scenes ami activities,
they need only try to tlud ov.t their
mistake. “Far fields are green” and
lose much of their attractiveness upon
a nearer view.
To the city man of ordinary means
and opportunities, who, like the ordi
nary farmer, has no bank account to
fall back upon in case of emergency,
life Is one “demnltlop grind’’ and with
out the soothing influences of nature
that surround the farmer to quiet the i
fever and unrest with which the strug- j in ,lls
gle, competition and turmoil around | " ils
him keep bis nerves on the rack day ‘ nll ‘" v “‘ l
lifter day. As a rule, such men are not
their own masters, but must order
their speech, demeanor and inclinations
to please the powers that have control
over their daily doiifts in order to keep
broad in the mouths and clothes on the
backs of both themselves and their
families.
The farmer, if he does not feel well,
can rise in the morning at whatever
hour it pleases him so to do. for an
hour or so or a day or two does not
make much difference in his affairs,
except ut the most critical periods of
planting and harvesting. lie can have
his own opinions, and voice them, too,
on politics and religion and all the
stirring quest Ions of the day without
fear of antagonizing the powers that
be, who can “sack” him if his views
and opinions do not happen to coincide
with those of his masters or “over*
lord” (the boss).
That the farmer is n hard worker no
body can deuy. Tttliug the soil is uot
easy work. Since Clod gave the com
mand to man to “earn his bread by the
sweat of his face” the farmer’s life
has been a life of toil. It takes some
strength and effort to dig a living out
of the ground. It is not easy to earn a
living, much less a fortune, without
effort, and the farmer Is uot the only
one who “sweats.” Brnln workers
have no sinecure, although some per
sons imagine that all they hnve to do
sit at a desk and add up figures
twiddle a pen In their fingers. The
life of a salesman behind the counter
is most wearisome and monotonous.
The beautiful days of spring go by,
the birds are singing as they build
their nests, the flowers ore blooming in
the valleys nnd on the hillside^nnd the
grass Is growing greener and greener
In the meadows, yet uever a glimpse
does he get of the beauty of the bright
world except when he can take a car
ride of an evening or on a Sunday or
holiday.

In a great sweat of ugony from the j
dread of tumbling over and making an ,

People who have never tried it do not
realize how hard it Is to stand abso
lutely still and yet appear interested ;
and at ease. Artists’ models sueoml ’
at it. especially those in Italy, and will ,
hold a pose not too difficult for an hour. '
Actors, when they group about the man I
in the center of the stage, who is on- |
joying all the limelight—and how they j
hate them for It—are required to keep
still, so as not to distraet attention from
the great man’s sayings and motions,
and because they must group in such a
way as to form a picture and keep it '
till it can be realized by the eyes In (
front. Itut this enforced statuesque-
ness is hard ou the supes. They are
not used to It. When they are put un
der the strain, and when ns Itoman
warriors they must stand at the back
wi.hout winking while Itrutus or Vir
ginia or some other ponderous person
unbosoms himself respecting love or
polities, they are in a small torture.

pipe is required. It must
; be a wooden pipe nnd curved, not
straight.
\ Having retired for the night, the suf
ferer should lie perfectly fiat ou his
Lack, discarding pillow, rests, nnd puff
steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
thoroughly drowsy. The des , -vd n i :lr
: usually is achieved after i * about
sixty to a hundred puffs have been
made. The puffing should be done
slowly, with a deep inhaling movement.
The expelling motions must be made
deliberately with narrowed mouth.
During the entire operation the
should not be removed, as each displi
lug and replacing movement tends to
wakefulness.
Those capable of great concentration
of thought should, if smokers, imagine
they see volumes ol’ smoke, mul those
who eschew the burning weed will be
helped by counting the puffs.
As sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe .is in the mouth,
bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
recommended, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas
sured that there Is no danger in falling
asleep with the stem edge of a curved
pipe .caught between one’s teeth. Sleep
always occasions the grip to be re
moved. That may hold also of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious rea
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems.—New York Mail

LONDON'S LORD MAYOR.
HU Power in Well u« the Aren lie
Hales Is Limited.
The lord mayor of Ixmdon Is not the
nil powerful official he Is thought to bo

of ail London, but only of the city of
London, and the City is but a frac
tion of the whole. Greater London has,

who delivers milk in the city, he has
oven harder work and longer hours.

one could almost Imagine that his life
depended upon getting through his
rounds in due season. Competition Is
so great that he must neglect nothing
and always be pleasant nnd obliging
to the most unreasonable of customers
for fear of losing one. There are the
Icemen, carrying fifty pounds and often
100 pounds of Ice up four flights of
stairs, which Is no easy tnsk, and as It
is not skilled labor the pny is probably
not more than It should be, considering
the amount of strength expended.
Hard as the work Is and moderate us
is the pay, no man can afford to lose
his Job, so he has to be very eureful not
to antagonize his employers.
The man who does business on a
small settle and Is his owii boss prob

be said of all sorts of occupations.

Diililea Never (let Seasick.
“Babies uever get seasick. I hare

said au American lino steward, accord

of only 38,000 and by day of little

powers of the lord mayor nnd of tbo
twenty-six aldermen nnd the two hun
dred odd common councilors are by no
means autocratic.
Much of what used to lie within his
and their province has been taken over
by the London county council. In fact,
the average Londoner never thinks of
the lord mayor as an edict making,
law giving official. lie stands altogeth

planation of this singular fact? It Is
ns simple ns the fact is strange. Bn*
hies don’t get seasick because they ore
accustomed to the rocking of the cra

rocking of n ship. A baby aboard ship,
therefore, is merely a baby In au un-

PROFIT
The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to gel
the most pork, his liens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?

A cantankerous old farmer, who

day and, placing his back to the fire,
stood up to dry.
After spine Utile time bis wife turned
to him and said:
“John, you’d better watch yourael* or
you’ll burn your flannels.”
To which John replied:
“I think I’ll need to burn my trou
sers first.”

Ing of the kind. They’re burnt al

It is n solemn duty devolving on nil
