Our Socrates wears shoes. Yesterday we asked him if he thought the hard times were about over. And he immediately took on an odd expression, something like a spirit medium, then raising his chiu as if he were about to spit out a bolt of eloquence with sufficient elevation to reach the rear of a amphitheater before it would fall, he said, "The darkest hour is just before us, the climax is not reached yet." n >' "4 ' < ■i \ I flhout Fall Hats.

Japan, and not France or Belgium, would appear to be the land of petite culture. According to a recent American bulletin a couple of acres is considered a large tract for farming purposes. Most of the farms are smaller, am! on a little plot a surprising variety of crops is cultivated a few square feet of wheat, barley, maize, and milet ; a plot of beans perhaps ten feet wide by 20 feet long, a similar area of potatoes and peas, and a patch of onions "about as big as a grave", Inn-t-rout, lettuce, turnips, sweet potatoes, and other crops occupy the rest of the area. The farmer examines his growing crops every morning, just as an engineer inspects his machinery, and if anything is wrong he puts it right. If a weed appears in the t>ean patch he pulls it up ; if a hill of potatoes or anything else fails it is at once replanted. When he cuts down a tree he always plants another. As soon as one crop is harvested the soil is worked, over, manured, and forthwith resown to another crop. It is estimated tluit ninetenths of the agricultural laud of Japan is devoted to rice, and as this is a crop requiring much water the paddy-fields are banked up into terraces, one al>ove the other, ana divided off into small plots 25 ft. or30 ft. sq., with ridges of earth between them to prevent the water from flowing away when they are flooded. All farming lands are irrigated by a system that is a thousand years old. Some of the ditches are walled up with baml>oo wicker-work and some with tiles and stone. Nearly half the total population of Japan are engaged in agriculture. Silk and tea, the two chief exports of the country are raised almost entirely by the work of women.

It came to him in a curious way. One day a new teacher came to the school where this man, when a youth, was receiving instruction, and the boy was the first of whom the teacher asked the question, "What is your name!" "John Wilson," replied the lad. "Sir," aaid the teacher, admoniahingly. The boy only looked stupid. He did not know what the teacher meant, for the boys of that school had never been taught to address their maaters as "sir." "You must always say 'sir' when you address me in the future, boy," thundered the master. "And now again, what is your name " "Sir John Wilson!" answered the boy, promptly. The teacher was unable to refrain from joining in the laugh which followed ; and rattitday to this the boy has been known aa "Sir John Wilson/' His mistake was alasoat as food to him sa a royal : y I Louisville Oourirr-Journal.] Mr. William J.
