ayariciousness of other classes. We com
plain OF the manner in which we are
imposed upon by those who compel us to
pay extravagant prices for what we want
to buy, and who in turn give us but
small compensation for our labor. We
must make our intelligence as a class
equal to that of Others. We must pre-
par ourselves to fill the responsible posi-
ton in society, and then farms will exert
an influence more in proportion to their
numbers and the vast industry which
they represent. Farmers are not lack
ing in natural intelligence. Their
minds are strong, and many often sur
prise themselves and iellow-men by their
accomplishments when they have been
called into positions which have afforded
them the discipline and culture which
alshe were wanted TO develop their good
qualities. II we were very shy of invest
ing in patentrights and mining stocks
and all attempts TO get rich suddenly,
and would put little money every year

would find ourselves growing stronger

Painting Flower Stands.

II is Gus tomary to paint flower stands
on which flower pots are to stand, a
bright green color; but the artist would
never advise that color for the purpose,
as the brilliancy of the paint has an
injurious effect upon the colors of the
flowers and the leaves. Therefore, when
flower stand is to be painted, it will be
best to choose dull color, if the flowers
are 10 be the prominent feature.
A rich brown, chocolate, oak, black

How An Empress Fats. '

When the hour for Queen Nictoria's
dinner arrives her guests assemble, and
when she enters the room they all arise.
She bows, and they all sit down. The
tootman serves the dinner, and all is 81
lent. Sometimes the queen speaks, and
whoever is spoken to acts like good
child, and speaks in return. Before the
dessert is served the queen arises. The
guests arise. They all bow and the queen
goes out. Think of it, When the Amer.
lean cranberry sauce was served no one
raid it was good. When the beef is over
done no one can mention it. There is
no wonder over the early peas, and no
congratulations upon the tender new
corn. No one at that English table
could breathlessly watch the first Gu,
into watermelon; when il cracked no
one could smile, and when it lay open,
red ripe, who could cry out that it was
"lovely?" To eat at the queens table
would be worse than having stranger
to dinner on Thanksgiving day, and hav.
ing to eat the turkey as if it were an
every day fowl, and make no special
praise of its unusual tenderness.

quite cool towards the close of the
month, affecting the plant badly by caus-
ing the young bolls TO shed and the
older ones to open prematurcly; as a
general thing there will be no "top

caused cotton to open faster than usual,
and consequently picking has progressed
rapidly. The estimate by average of
damage by worms, rot, rust and drouth
in sixteen parishes is twenty per cent.
The yield a. compared with last year is
