Cheap transportation is question that bus
not profoundly agtated the Governments OF
Europe and the common people apparently arc
not aware that their wants in this respect hayo
boon neglected. Perhaps q plausible oxplana-
tion Of this apathy ia found in tho fact that tho
common people lave very little to transport,
and that little needs to DO moved over worry
short distances, generally from hand to mouth.
When it comeB to the merchant princes, how
oyor, tho case is different. They have direct
communication with India; their payments for
frcight~charges nro heavy, and to them chenp
transportation is 4 matter Of vital intorcat.
Naturally enough, the reduction OF tolls on tho
suez Canal was made the objective point Of
their efforts. Tho Governments owning the
canal were induced by tho complaints Of tho
merchants to appoint IN international Commits
sion with Wow to regulating tho froight-tarlr,
and, in accordance With its recommendation,
great reduction in rates was nlado. But this
haa not ended the 1uattor. The cable informs
us this morning that N. dc Losucps, tho cngi-
peor and part owner Of the canal, has threatened
to dismiss the canal-pilots and extinguish tho
lamps in the lighthouses in caao tho rates
established by the Commission are adhered to.
This is equivalent to closing the canal. So it
aoems that arbitrary regulation Of freight-tariffs
meeta with as poor SUCCESS in Europe as In this
on1utrp.

The fall is again here, and dull days
and chilly nights warn US that winter
is not far away. Before its advent let
every preparation be made to meet it,
for at best it is a disagreeable seas on for
the farmer. OF all the causes that com
bine to make it SO, none are so potent
as one thing-mud. Through perhaps
five months of the year mud is neces-
sity, but the farmer has il in his power
to Obviate its evils TO a great extent.
Before the fall rain comes on, let the
anes be ditched and graveled, and
good board, stone or gravel walks
constructed, from house to road, and
from house to barn, from house TO well
or spring, and, in short, along every fire.
quented walk or drive, on or about the
the premises. See that they are well
made-high and dry-so that the wife
or daughter can pass from place to
place without sinking in mud up TO
the shoe-tOps. No one can estimate
the amount of sickness, the doctors
bills, or deaths, the direct result of wet
feet from this cause. See to it that this
cause is removed so that the sickness
or death of member of your family
be not laid at your door. Your own
health or comfort, as well as that of
your horses that are compelled to draw
heavy loads through muddy lanes, de-
mand that you make these improve
ments. What if they do involve labor
and little expense? The pleasure OF
passing along these dry paths and
drives when the mud at each side is
knee deep is sufficient pensation, to
say nothing about facility, health or
comfort. Il 81 - Ll 4
We have often, thought that farmers
should unite i'm the 5eopstruction of
fOotpaths along the roadside, SO that
the village, the postd flee, the school or
church could be reached Oh foot with
out wet feet. This could be done at
little expense, comparatively, and then
what world of annoyance, trouble,
exposure and discomfort would be pre-
vented! Who can tell how many lives
would be saved annually?-O. Farmer.
