Just at this time of the year there is always number of city men who get an itching de- sire to be farmere—not furmers for health or pleasure, but farmers for profit, writes Dr. ‘Talmage in the Ladies’ Home Journal, Now, farming is » grand ocoupation, but to the aver- age city business man who goes into it for profit it holds out nothing but failure, ‘The city farmer, for example, nover considers, as does the wise and knowing farmer, that there may be disappointment in crops, He thinks what- ever he sows will come up and yield profit, Even a stupid turnip knows a city farmer as soon as it sees him. Marrowfat peas fairly rat- tle in their pods with derision as he passes. ‘The fields are glad to impose upon the novice.

Milkmen ate much the same all over the world in their attempts to palm off upon the public as much water as they can disguise, On the Boulevard de Magenta recently, at an early hour in the morning, two policemen came upon one of these purveyors of lacteal fluid busily filling up the cane on his cart ft pump—end with such stuff, too! Owing to the drought, most of the water used in Paris 1s for the present taken from the Seine and its quality may be gathered from the fact that in the public schools orders have been issued that none is to be employed for drinkiug purposes without being filtered. The constables chullenged the milky Aquarius, who replied, courteously: “Ah, well, you have fairly caught me this time. Jump = my cart and I will drive you to the police office, to save you trouble.” This amiable invitation was refused by the sargents de ville, who ordered the delin- quent to come out of his cart and wulk with them.
