The Toronto Globe says: Many farmers
have been annoyed, when selling their wool,
to find that the acute and practiced eye of
the wool buyer has detected the fact that
their sheep have been allowed to run down
in condition at some time during the growth
OF the fleece. They are half inclined to
think that the buyer is merely trying to de-
preeiate the quality of the wool, SOFAS to run
down the price. Asa matter of fact, how

POINTS OF THE DAIRY Cow.-Mr. E. II.
Seward, of Marengo, N. Y, in giving the
characteristics which he most priced in
dairy COWS, says: We want a COW low in
the legs, deep in the chest, and through the
lungs a chance for a large flow of blood
this gives health. We want also a great
width across the loin, this shows great Sc
creting power 1.-THE udder should set well
up under the body, wide teats and wide
quarters. The e%scutcheon, or milk mir
ror, should be wide; the wider the bet
ter. The hair should be bright, showing a
healthy condition. He wanted also a deen
shoulder; neck to come out large from the
body, tapering finely to the head, the head
firm and bony. The head should taper well
down to a small muzzle; the skin should al
ways show a yellow color, with a firm, soft
feeling.-Er.

Church Revenues.

There is no established church in
France. All religions are equal by law,
hnt only Catholics, Protestants and Jews
are paid ont of the public treasury. Out
OF $4,000, 600 az many as ninety eight
per cent. (over $4,000, ,O0O) are Oath
olics. lhere are 591, 600 Protestants.
40, 429 Jews, and $4,000 members of
other religious denominations. The an
nual State payments are: To Catholic
prelates and clergy, SO, ,301, ,659; Catholic
churches, seminaries. ETC., 2,O41, ,O8O;
Protestant clergy, 1888, 900; Jewish
rabbis, 1880; Protestant and jewish
places of worship, $4,000; making
total of $1O,679, 72O. In England and
Wales, with q population of one. third
less than that of France, the total an
nual revenue of the bishops and other
Gle, gy amounts to $18, $50, 1926, which is
almost double what is paid in France to
the clergy of all denominations. The
difference is that in France this pay
ment is made out of the tax-raised pay
ment of the nation, while in England
and Wales it comes from property and
ratings rs secure to the clergy rs thoir
landed estates are to the nobility and
gentry. Moreover, nearly one.half of
the people of England and Wales, who
do not belong to the Established church,
voluntarily support their s'spiritual pas
tors and masters" as in the United
States. by pew rents, fees and voluntary
contributions. The British archbishop
and bishops receive princely annual in
comes. For example, the archbishop of
Canterbury, $75, 900; his grace of York,
$50, 900; the bishop of London, $50, 900,
and the bishop of Durham, $40, ,0OO.
Each of the other twenty-six bishops re-
ceives on the average about $25, 900
year, with rent free "palace" and
grounds in the country and fine man
sion in London for residence during the
six months of the Parliamentary session
in each year, archbishops and bishops
sitting in the Upper House as spiritual
lords. Just now the see of st. Albans
has been created and proposed bishop
rio of Cornwall is on the tapis. After
that about dozen more sees will be es-
tablished. So the temporalities of the
Church of England flourish exceed
ingly.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

If we look upon life as o gift of days,
one at time, alfits duties can be done,
all its burdens borne.
"Two things" said Mohammed, "I
abhor (; the learned in his infidelities,
the fool in his devotions."
The thing which an active mind most
needs is purpose and direction worthy
of its activity.
God gives food to every bird, but he
does not bring it to the nest in like
manner he gives us our daily bread, but
by means Of our daily work.
Pride is an extravagant opinion of our
own worthiness vanity is an inordinate
desire that others should share that
opinion.
If there be any good in thee, believe
that there is much more in others. 1t
hurteth the most of all to prefer thy
self even to one.
Philosophy is bully That talks very
loud when the danger is at distance,
but the moment she is hard pressed by
the enemy she is not to be found at her
post, but leaves the brunt of the battle
to be borne by her humber but steadier
comrade, religion.
When we have only little we should
be satisfied, for this reason, that those
best enjoy abundance who are contented
with the least, and 80 that the pains of
poverty are removed, simple fare can
give relish equal to the most ezpen-
sive lu1uries.
There is Russian proverb which says
that misfortuneis next door to stupidity,
and it will be generally found that men
who are constantly lamentipg their luck
are only reaping the consequence of
their own neglect. mismanagement,i i'm.
providence or want of application.
One of the almost numberless ad-
vantages of goodness is that it blinds its
possessor to many of those faults in
others which could not fail to be de-
tected in the morally defective. A con-
sciousness of unworthiness renders us
exceedingly quick sighted in discerning
the vices of our neighbors; as persons
can easily discover othersin the symptoms
of those diseases beneath which they
themselves have suffered.
Without the proper and sober estimate
of men, we have neither prudence in
the affairs of life nor liberation for con-
trary opinions-we tempt the cheater
and then condemn him-we believe SO
strongly in our faith that we would SEN
tence dissentient as heretics. It is ex-
perience alone that teaches us that he
WHO is discreet is seldom betrayed, and
that out of the opinions that we con-
denim spring often the actions that we
admire

English Hotels.

Louis J. Jennings, in letter to the
World, describes the hotels and lodging
places of London. He says that the
hotels generally patronized by Ameri-
cans are Longs, Claridge's, Fenton's
Miss Edwards, the Brunswick and the
Langham; and that their bedrooms are
close and ill-ventilated, the charges very
high, and the cooking in three of them
bad. A man and his wife cannot live in
them for less than EGO week. Nowhere
in England can n'the comforts of the best
American hotels be had. "You cannot
wink without being charged for it," AS
to lodgings, "po one knows ANYTHING
about tho perfection to which the art of
robbery has been brought who has not
passed through the hopper of London
lodging house MILL" The extra charges
usually amount to more than the regu-
lar price of the rooms. Some of the
restaurants are good and moderate in
prices. A new and large one furnishes
q meal for three shillings and sixpence,
or shout dollar in our currency, con
sisting of soup, fish, two entrees, joint
and ices. all of the best quality.

Agriculture in Great Britain,

Tho New York Sun in an article on the
subject says the agricultural resources
OF the British islands are curiously un-
detrated in this country. Accustomed
to regard ourselves as the purveyor of
England, we take for granted that her
own production of meat and breadstuffs
is considerable and there is, moreover,
an impression in the minds of MANY
persons that her soil is not subdivided
In easily working farms, but is mainly
engrossed by large estates. It may be
worth while to show how decisively these
current notions are contradicted by the
facts and for that purpose we avail our
selves of a report on agriculture lately
published by the British board of trade.
With the exception of Russia and
France, no country in Europe has so
many acres under cultivation as the
united kingdom. Of plowed land and
meadow she can show twice rs much as
hungary, four times as much as Sweden
and Norway, fifth more than Spain,
and sixth more than Prussia, although
each of the States named has larger,
and some vastly larger, superfcies.
1t is we'll to ponder the significance of
this fact, for it explains why England
long anterior to her commercial and
manufacturing expansion was rich and
powerful nation. And here we may
point out that the mistaken opinion re-
specting the distribution of her soil has
arisen from the confounding of arabic
with Eon-arable land.
From the. total surface of the British
islands, which exclusive of lakes and
rivers comprises seventy-six millions of
acres, must be deducted almost two
sevenths for woodland and pasturage,
moors, game preserves and parks; aud
this fraction of territory undoubtedly is
controlled by relatively small number
of rroprietors. If we turn, however, to
the ground under cultivation, we find
the number of farms in England, Wales,
and Scotland computed for the year
1875 at $4,000. These arc graduated
as follows: Small farms of fifty acres or
less, average farms containing from
fifty to three hundred acres, and large
farms exceeding the last named figure;
aud 1T appears that seventy per cent. of
the whole number belongs to the first
category, twenty seven per cent. to the
second, and only three per cent. to the
lat. AS regards the respective areas
occupied by the three classes. We may
set down in round numbers the aggre-
gate of arabic land at twenty four mil
lions of acres for England, two md
thTee-fourths millions for Wales, and
four and a half millions for Scotland.
Now, of these totals the space covered
by small farms represents, following the
order of the countries named, fifteen,
twenty three, and fourteen per cent.
farms OF average size absorb fifty-six,
sixty eight, and fty-eight per cent.
while only twenty-nine per cent. in
England, nine in Wales, and twenty
three in Scotland are comprised in the
larger holdings. In short, three -fourths
of the area belongs to farms of three
hundred acres or less; and thus the land
under tillage in Great Britain is quite
as minutely subdivided as in the United
States.

The Brides Story.

When was but a country Lass, now fifteen
years ago,
l lived where flows the Overprock through
meadows wide and low;
There first, when skies we're bending blue and
blossoms bowling free,
saw the ragged little boy that went to echool
with me.
His homesrun coat was frayed and worn, with
patches covered DER,
His hat-ah, such hat as that WAS nevor seen
before.
The boys and girla, when first he came, they
shouted in their glee,
And jsered the ragged little boy who went to
school with me.
His father was laboring man, and mine wss
highly born
Our people held both him and his in great
contempt and scorn
They said should not stoop to own playmate
such as he,
The bright eyed, ragged little boy who went to
echool with me.
Yet spite Of all the jeers around from children
better dressed,
My heart went out to meet the heart that beat
within his breast
His look was fond, his voico was low, and,
strange as it may be,
1 loved the ragged little boy that went to
school with me.
For yoars they had forgotten him, but when
again we met,
His looks, his voice, his gentle ways, remained
in memory yet;
Thoy saw alone the man Of mark, but I could
ouly see
Tha. bright eyed, ragged little boy that went
TO school with me.
He had remembered me, it seemed, as re-
mcmbered him,
Nor time, nor honors, in his mind the cher
ished past could dim;
Young love had grown to older love, and 30 to-
day youse
Wod the ragged little boy who went to school

The Railroad Business Overdone.

At Long Branch, says Gath, in one of
his letters, with railroad man Of fair
authority, remarked
"Pullman has three residences that /
know of, here and in Chicago, and at
the Thousand Isles of the st. Law
renee
"He will want to get them all together
on one small lot before many years
pass" said the auditor.
Why, do you think the railroads
will throw off on him2"
Yes, their diminishing business will
not permit of any such incubus. It is
hard times with all railroads. They are
just beginning to meet questions of mo-
ment bluntly, and this Mr.. Gowen,
president of the Reading railroad,
goes to the core of the question when
he says that too much competition has
made it well nigh impossible to earn
dividends. That had already been said
by Mr.. Devereaux of the Columbus and
Cleveland railroad. The open lakes and
six lines of rail to the West gives too
much outlet for the crops. Before the
war we had single tracks on every rail
road now Vanderbilt has four, Scott
three or four, Garrett two or three, and
the Erie, and Chesapeake and Ohio are
also in the field, with tho Grand Trunk
fanking all around to the North. Low
rates are necessity of such an abun-
dance of communications. Passengers
in America now pay the cheapest fares
in the world. Ten dollars for excursion
tickets from New York to Cincinnati and
back The closest economy must fol-
low snch prices. Tho Pullman cars are.
very heavy, and mash up the road beds !;
they bring no revenue to the hauling
company, which must also keep them in
repair. They cost from ST., 900 to $780,
600 apiece, and weigh from twenty-five
to fifty tons, while ordinary cars weigh
only twenty tons. The Erie railroad ran
one Pullman Car which cost $50, 600
the Orange County by name. Every
scratch of that cabinet work cost your
pocketbook to repair it. Now, the bulk
of the Pullman cars will require to be
rebuilt very soon they run about eight
years, and then, such is their condition,
they must be wholly rebuilt. There are
between two thousand and four thou
sand of them, perhaps. The capital of
the company is, soy, $12, ,00O, 900. When
that construction account is made MP,
and the railroad companies proceed to
fret about repairing oiher peoples cars
and carrying extravagant ".riders, the
hey day will be over.
