TWO riCTUKKS OF FAIISI LIFE.
Old Heme in N*w Hampshire. Anil the New
in the Northern Wheat Beit.
From St. Paul Pioneer I’reis.
I hare just returned from a brief visit
to my old home among the mountains and
granite hillsides of New Hampshire. The
average farm in that country is, say, 100
acres,of which, perhaps, fifteen or twenty
: r. in' i'll 111 il, ill II , -I'llM'. ni'lll'le.
On the old homestead on which I visited I
found one-quarter to one-half an aero of
oats, three-quarters of an acre of corn, one-
quarter to one-half an acre of wheat, a
few potatoes and a small garden.
Not to, exceed twenty acres had
been mown, and the hay nicely stowed
away in the barn. The buildings were in
excellent repair, and botli inside and out
side were as neat as could be desired. In
the woodshed I noticed nicely stored away
a year’s supply of fuel. The man who now
owns the place did not inherit it, nor, if I
remember rightly, any other farm. The
farm ia a sample of the average in that
township, twelve miles from the nearest
railway station and. no jnnntifMlniing
village in the vicinity. It is purely an
agricultural district and not by any means
considered firet-class, even in" that state.
There are no mortgages on these farms,
and almost every proprietor has some little
money at interest.
The world is led to believe that the
wheat capacity of the Jnorthwcst is inex
haustible. The fact is that northern Min
nesota and Dakota are passing through
the same state that southern Minnesota
and Iowa have sudered; whereas, the
average wheat yield used to be twenty
bushels to the acre, and farms produced ns
high as forty bushels in Red River Valley,

THE GREAT CIGAR OF THE DAY.
-Grand Republic “Cigarros,” Hive Cents Each-
Connection with usual grades sold at 5 cents. Extensively imitated.
Don’t he deceived by counterfeits. “Grand Republic Cigarros” (Factory 200, New York), are the FIRST, the
ORIGINAL, and the ONLY GENUINE ALL HAVANA FILLED “CIGARROS.”' All others are mere servile
copies of outside looks only. Outside looks are easy to imitate. The “nut to crack” is the “material ” Our
Cigarros are positively all Havana Long Filler with Sumatra Wrapper of highest grade, addressed to critical tastes.
That nut is too hard for the copyists. They float their poor counterfeits with larger profit to retailers, hoping to hood
wink both retailers and smokers. They know they cannot crack the nut. * It don’t suit false teeth, and falsity is falsity,
as truth is truth. All the counterfeits have failed. “Grand Republic Cigarros” sweep all before them.
- As leading and responsible manufacturers, we ask the confidence of the public in the truth of our statements.

turer ? # ■

the average vieltl in the state now is
hut twelve ousliels. It coats $8 to raise an
acre of wheat. Where is the profit! The
history of wheat farming in other sections
of the country is this: The prarie lands,
the first year they are broken, will yield
twenty bushels. This, perhaps, pays for
the farm. The seconu year it is a little
bettor.. This pays for the machinery and
tlie buildings. The third year it falls off
somewhat. The fourth year it is still
worse. The sanguine farmer says: “Well,
" had year,” and tries it sea in, T*

are actually mortgaged for the living ex
penses.
A Mad Sow.

We learn that Boss Potter, a white man

exciting time with one of his hogs lost

The Queen'd Jester. I The Frightful Fire Tax.
From the London Star. From tho Philadelphia Ledger, Sept 11.

actual right to the title of “queen’s jester,”
but he claims to use the prefix from the
fact that when in the service of Van Am-
burg the queen intimated her desire to see
Wallett, who was then called the “Shake-
sperean clown,” and of whom she had
heard so much during his stay at Windsor.
He accordingly attended at the castle on
July 19, 1844.

This little domiciliary edifice of Wal-

covering of the “dainty plant,” the ivy

grown to perfection by the er-twhile jester.
Within doors the host shows with pride a
medallion presented to him by the queen',
and is equally pleased tosubmit for inspec
tion an autograph letter of Mr. Gladstone
to himself. Thu walls are studded with
testimonials and addresses, while the man
tel supports a massive candelabra pre
sented by a circle of friends at Ilingley
Hall, Birmingham, in 1854.
A Quakeress, who was otico persuaded to
see Wallett while performing in Phila

not a clown, thou art not a bnfioon, thou
art a high moral teacher, and I regret the
ignorance that has led me to condemn thy
class for so many years.” Wallet ha a

The old clown says he is proud of his

happy. “No man should live to himself.

happy he becomes a nuisance,” is one

same month of the preceding year by
nearly 52,000,000.
Whether the increase for August is to
be considered as simply temporary ill for
tune or the beginning of a further advance
in the nation’s tribute to carelessness and
crime remains to he seen. But as Septem
ber, which has so often been selected by the
fire fiend as a time in which to allow
underwriters a needed rest, has opened up
so inauspiciously with heavy losses,
notably among them tbe Balti
more (Ire, there seems little hope that
the loss for this year will not exceed the
last year’s waste. During thfe month just
closed there were 167 fires of a greater de
structiveness than $10,000 each, as com
pared with 1C2 during August, 1887.
There were ten fires of a greater destruct
iveness than $200,000 each, as against four
of a like importance last year. The in
crease in the mouth’s total is due to a
great extent to the alarming number of
large and expensive fires. It must be re
membered that this discouraging tax upon
the nation’s prosperity moves rapidly on
in spite of the advance being made in the
invention of new devices for lire protection
and the scientific improvement of exist
ing appliances. Clearly, it is high
timo that some radical steps were adopted
looking to the reduction of this serious
drain upon the resources of the country. A
considerable proportion of the loss is due
to till- il.-sti Iicl r .,n Ilf frail*' towns, owing to
lack.of proper fire protection. As the in
suring at current rates m frame rows located
in unprotected localities is notoriously un
profitable, underwriters would contribute
to tbe nation’s welfare as well as their
own prosperity by insisting upon the
securing ot adequate protection under no
less a penalty than the withdrawal of in
demnity. The adoption by underwriters
of reasonable means for the reduction of
the fire loss is a duty which the interests
of stockholders and the public alike
demand.
