Death of John Stuart Mill.

The telegraph announces the death of John
Stuart Mill at Avignon, France, Thursday, at
the age of 67, being born in 1906. His father
was Scotchman, and was distinguished in
the same class of studies for which his son in
after years achieved no small part of his rep
utaton His father sqpsTiptsqaaed sAt lii an
appointment in the India house, and was grad
ually promoted until 1856, when he reached one
of its most responsible positions.
AT twenty, Jeremy Bentham entrusted to
him the editorship of his Rationale of Periodi-
cal Evidence" which he enriched with notes
and other additions. He belonged to the ad-
vanced section of the liberal party in England,
and wrote in public journals in support of their
opinions; and he contributed articles to the Ed
inburgh ReUieao and to the London and Vest
minister, the latter the chief radical organ His
System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Produc-
tive" published in 1916, had established his
reputation as philosopher and writer. The
next year came out his Essays ON some I'm.
settled Questions of Political Economy" which
attracted great attention, as the work appeared
at the time when England was agitated by
those thoughts and movements that speedily
brought about the fall of the corn laws, and Of
the whole of the system of protection, Four
years later he issued a sequel to this work, en-
titled principles of Political Economy, with
some of their Applications to Social Philoso-
phy," which was received as favorably as its
predecessor. In 1859, his contributions to lead
ing British periodicals were collected and pub
ished, with the title of Dissertations and Dis
cussions, Political Philosophical and Histori
CAL" The same year his best known political
work appeared, that ''On Liberty which was
immediate'y followed by his ''ThoughtJon Par
liamentary Reform" Mr. Mills last great
work was on the ''Subjcction of Woman"
powerful argument in favor of woman suffrage.
Mr.. Mill was first elected to the House of
Commons in 1866 as the second member from
Westminster His parliamentary career was
creditable but in no way remarkable. He de-
livered few. able speeches, but by training and
nature he was unfit for an extempore debater.
He failed of a reelection, and returned to his
fayorite studies living in England in summers,
and the south of France winters when he died,
He gave his attention to reformatory questions
such as minority representations, woman suff-
rage and the land question.
During our civil war he was the jealous
champion of the North, and at all times has SO
appreciated our country as to secure thousands
of admirers here among our most intelligent
classes

The mistaken notion that only q small
foot can lay claim to beauty, even though
its smallness come by compression and not
by nature, is slowly but surely giving way;
and the shoemakers will hasten to avail
themselves of the change.
Last summer an attempt Git failed, we are
sorry to say was made ~ Introduce broad
soles and square, EnglAh tees. Standing
in the windows, their effect was not
so pretty as the effect Of the dainty narrow
tipped, pointed-heeled French CATERS
Therefore they were secuted as ungainly by
the happy mortals whose fest, despite long
siege of French boots, were still tolerably
sound. This year, however, some relief is
looked for; and the only permanent relief
but with wide, sensible soles, and low,
opened by the introduction, this season, of
these desirable alterations into the low
shoes called indiffereRfy "Croqust slip
pers," "Oxford ties, pc Newport ties" and
variety of other names. These are to be fol-
lowed in the Autumn by buttoned walk
ing -boots of kid and goat-skin, having
square toes with round corners, broad soles,
the widening from toe to joint being scarce
ly perccptible, and loE heels, not more
than half the height of tho absurd French
ones. But it must not be supposed that, in
thus obtaining comfort, good looks are
abandoned. Anybody who has worn these
ease-giving shoes knows that they are vast
ly more becoming than the strictly Partisan
gaiter The breadth of sole permitting a
corresponding narrownsss of the upper
leather, so sustains the FOOT that, even in an
old boot, it is not inclined to spread, as it
must where the upper is wids and the sole
slender. A well-shaped foot, though it be
large, is beautiful; and misshapen foot, as
small as Cinderella's, is ugly. No foot can
remain beautiful where the toes are unnatu
rally cramped, or when the entire weight of
the body is thrown on the toes by exaggera
ted heels.
Beyond this important change in form,
there will be but little difference in the
new Fall boots. ButtoRed CATERS are such
decided favortes that it is unlikely they
will be displaced before another Spring,
though balmoral boots, lacisg on top, and
kid CATERS, lacing on tho inside, will be
somewhat worn by those who prefer novelty
to grace.-'Home and Sssisty,' Scri5ner's

A Carl Cut of by an Axe.

"Do you see this lock ofbairi" said an old
man to me.
Eyes but what of it, Ii is, suppose,
the curl from the head Cd dear child long
since gone to God"
sit is not. 1t is IL lock Of my own hair,
and it is now nearly seventy years since it
was cut from this head"
"But why do you nriee a lock of your
own hair so much ~
at has story belonging to it, and Il
strange one. keep it thus with care be-
cause it speaks to me more Of God, and of
His special care, than aaything else pos
sess."
81 was a little child, tsur years old, with
long curly locks, which, in sun or rain, or
wind, hung down my cheeks uncovered.
One day my father went INTO the woods to
cut log, and went with Kim. | was
standing little way bohiad him, or rather
at his side, watching with interest the
strokes of his heavy axe, rs it went up and
came down upon the wosd, sending off
splinters with every stroke, in all directions.
Some Of the splinters eell at my feet, and
eagerly stopped to pick thea up. In doing
50 l stumbled forward, and in moment
my head lay upon tho log. had fallen
just at the moment when the axe was COM
ing down with all its force. 1t was too
late to stop the blow. Down came the axe.
I screamed, and my father fell to the ground
in terror He could Bot stay the stroke,
and, in the blindness which the sudden
horror caused, he thought lie had killed
his boy.
1--WE soon recovered from my fright
and he from his terror he caught me in
his arms, and looked at me from head to
foot to find out the deadly wound which
he was sure he had inflicted. Not drop
of blood or scar was to DO seen. He knelt
upon the grass and gave thanks to Cod
Having done so, he took up his axe and
found Il few hairs upon It's edge. He turn
ed to the log he had bosn splitting, and
there was a single curl Of his boys hair,
sharply cut through and laid upon the
wood. How great the escape! 1t was as
if an angel had turned the edge at the mo-
ment when it was descending on my head.
With renewed thanks apon his lips, he took
up the curl and went home with me in his
arms.
"That lock he kept all his days, as q
memorial of Gods csFs and love. That
lock he left me on his death bed

Your correspondent as" asks how ne
shall treat his bally horse. l have plan
that seldom fails to start the unruly ami
nal in q few minutes, and if persevered in,
generally effects permanent cure, but it
is too difficult of application to become
generally useful. Have with you a small
quantity Of whole corn, and when a remedy
is needed go gently to the horses head
with handful and coax him with cares
ses while he eats from the hand. Attempt
to lead him, holding the corn little way
before him, and when he goes quietly and
shows that his temper has subsidized, leave
him with his mouth full Of corn, get in the
vehicle and spsak to him to 90 on, quiet
manners just as if nothing was wrong; and
if he refuses apply the same treatment
again, and again if necessary, until success
attends. Perhaps it may not be clear to
the reader what the difficulty is in apply
ing this remedy. 1t is in the worse than
balky disposition of the driver, who would
rather succeed once in twenty times by
passionately whipping, than nineteen times
in twenty by gentcness. Only a gentleman
can manage a balky horse, and while there
are plenty of gentlemen in society there are
not so many gentlemen in treatment of
animals. A very little observation and re-
Election will show that gentleness is quite
as commendable as gentility, and is follow
ed by as good results, both upon our own
success in getting along" comfortably
with animals of all species, man kind and
woman kind included.

USE OF MANURE.--Fisher Amcs, one ofthe
most popular and distinguished men of his
day, and always regarded as one Of the
great lights of Massachusetts, said in
letter to Josiah Quincy, in 1906, that "thc
only sensible economy in farming is to spend
money" 1t is fact, but it would read
better to write it manure instead of money.
Most farmers have a quantity of manure
greater or less according to their own dill
gencc and skill, but it isn't every one that
has the money to spend.
But this practice Or rule of conduct is
within the reach of all, to spend or apply
manure literally as far as it will go. We
do not mean to suggest that parts ofthe farm
should be robbed Of their fair proportion to
be able to brag on premium crop, but that
it is best to do well whatever is attcl pied.
Ifthere is not enough to do justice to ten
acres under cultivation, it may be better to
put it upon five this year and give the 9TH
er five their turn next year. In other words
make thorough work of it as far as you go.

SAVE THE BEST Fowls FOR BREEDING.
1t is the worst possible policy to kill
all the best and handsome fowls, and
save only the mean and scraggy ones
to breed from. This is precisely the way
to run out your stock; for like tends to
breed like, and the result is, that by con-
tinually taking away the best birds, and
using the eggs of the poorest, your flock
will grow poorer and poorer every succeed
ing year.
1t would seem as though this was too
plain to be insisted upon, but, in fact,
''line upon line" is needed. II is-szssS-
ing want of the poultry upon the iatffis TIIc
country through, this careful and intelli-
gent selection of the best for breeding.
Nothing is lost by a little selfdenial to
start with. The extra pound or two OF
poultry flesh that you leave on its legs, in
stead of sending it to market, is good seed,
and will bring forth tenfold and twenty
fold in your future broods. Save your best
stock for breeding. Poultry World

Forests and their Cultivation.

The Country Gentleman says: Thousands
of persons have more land than they care
to cultivate to ordinary crops, and some Of
1t often which is not good for such crops,
but would do we'll for timber. Then why
not do something for posterity-and, per
haps, for themselves, toby planting it to
forest trees? 1t is easy now to do this
the information gained and impaired by
such men as Andrew S. Fuller, Arthur
Bryant, ST., and others, has made for
est planting comparatively an easy matter.
Many farmers say they are working merely
for their children, their desire being to
leave the latter something in the shape of
property which will be good for start. In
such case, why not plant forest BY
judicious selection of varieties and careful
culture through the balance of farmers
life of about middle age, forest may be
established, which will be worth many
thousands of dollars, twenty, thirty, or for
ty years hence. There is, too, in planting
a forest, this marked advantage over nat
ural forest-you can select the best varie.
ties, such as are reasonably certain to be
always in demand. You can choose ma
pies, tulips, pines, the hemlock, black wal
nuts, the hickory, the ash, chestnut, locust,
&C., &C., separately or together, the matter
to be determined largely by the character
of the soil. How to start in such an enter
prise can easily be learned from the authors
mentioned allowed, and from other sources,
and q little attempt at tree-growing from
seed or seedingings on a small SCALE in adj
vance OF starting plantations by the acre,
would result in an amount of practical ex-
perience which would be of great benefit
Cultivation of artificial forests would not
be necessary more than a few years, as the
shading Of the earth by the trees would
soon keep down the growth of weeds and
grass, while the leaves would constitute
mulch, as in natural forests. The growing
scarcity of timber for the thousand purpo-
SEES to which it is applied, with little proba-
bility of any substitute for it which can seri-
ously lessen the demand, renders it well
nigh certain that forests planted now and
we'll started will be rich legacy to future
generations, and in many cases even to the
planters themselves.

Sailing AsPARAGUs.-Salt may be spread
on asparagus beds at any time during the
season in heavy or light doses, and without
injury. When the salt is scattered on the
surface in June or July, it will save consid
able work all the rest of the summer in
hoeing and wedding, and at the same time,
plants, especially in young beds, will thrive
under such treatment. The salt will not
only furnish food, but will keep the surface
moist. Five or six years ago, friend re-
commended the application ofsalt to paths
to keep down the weeds. Experience
proved that the salt effected this result the
first season very well indeed, but the fol-
lowing year the plants appeared to flourish.
But what was strange about it was that
for three years after one could see at a
glance any morning just how far the salt
was spread on each walk from the damp
ness of the surface, when the other parts of
the walks were apparently dry.

Within the shade by willows made,
In softest summer weather, .t
We sat beside the ripping tide
My love and together t.I
Through clouds ofwhite, with softened light
The harvest moonbeams shimmcred
And on the stream silvery beam.
With diamond lustcr glimmered
The summer breeze, from fragrant trees,
Delicious odors brought US; .''
While sounds from DER the farther shore
In blended sweetness sought us.
And so we, too-as in us grew
The sense of peace so gentle
Attuned our song to Natures throng,
Beneath the evenings mantle.
We talked not much, but the soft touch
OF hands, and eyes oft meeting,
Told more by far than words declare,
AS heart to heart gave greeting.
Then midnight come, we loitered home
Like brother now and sister,
"To cheat surprise and prying eyes,
Till at the gate | kissed her.
