TIE WEArIIER.-On last Thursday morning
we warned our readers of the approach of two
storm arcas--one from the Gulf of Mexico, bring
ing heavy rain and rising temperature, the other
from the Northwest, bringing snow. Both dis
tnrlanccs are now completely within the
snhcrc of actual observation, and are hurry
ing toward us with their attendant gales
and heavy precipitation. Present indications
NO to show that the two storms may unite
within the Middle and Eastern States. and
that VIC may look for very heavy rains and
snow. followed by strong westerly gales. AS it
il. the Northwestern storm is now central over
Lake Superior, with gale OF sixty-cight miles

trail in the South Atlantic States, with heavy
rains and slcct from Shreveport, Texas, to the
Atlantic, and from Key West 10 Baltimore. In
the Northeast cloudiness and threatening weather

How TO REsUME.-Wc print elsewhere an
open letter from Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Bos-
ton, to the Hon. j. G. Abbott democratic mem
her OF Congress from Massachusetts, on the con-
dition Of the currency and the ease with which
we have in the last ten years accumulated gold.
Mr.. Atkinson shows that resumption need not be
a bugbear. We invite the attention OF bankers
and merchants to his letter.

Our London and Paris Gable Letters.
1t seems to be agreed by our London and
Paris correspondents that affairs in the East
are very critical, and that Ignatieff the
Russian, has hoodwinked Salisbury, the
Englishman. The reason given in our Paris
letter for the bold front of Turkey
is o suggestive one to those who
study the past Of Europe. When we
glance back at the feudal chieftains
drawing the teeth of rich Jews to draw their
money bags after them, and then turn to
the spectacle of the great Hebrew money
kings of to-day drawing the teeth of the
Christian Powers of Europe in solemn Con-
ference, the sight may well give us pause.
Happily, however great the pressure of the
Eastern question may be in the two capitals
Of Europe, there is enough interest left in
other matters to make a lively page.
Whether it be the Londoners trooping out
to look at little more mud and
water in the submerged suburbs than
they have nine months of the year
in Cheapside, or the Parisians try
ing to rival Old Probabilities by prog
nostcating from the overcoats in a pawn
shop, we see that the times find their
remedy in mems good humor. We would
suggest to the latter as an appropriate
motto for their sIndications' what Hamlet
said to the ghost, "Oh, my prophetic
soul, my unclev' From both cities
we have variety Of dramatic
and operatic announcements of interest.
Literary, social and artistic gossip will be
found in each letter. At every turn of the
kaleidoscope fresh subject glitters into
clear shape, but we must confess to
an inability to determine what garment our
Paris correspondent describes SO vaguely.
With our present light it would be foulardy
in the extreme to waste space guessing

Tho Doubtful Attitude or Russia.

Ottoman obstinacy seems likely to carry
the day in the negotiations at Constanti-
nople, through default of the Power that has
been relied upon to apply the pressure of
an immediate war. When it was regarded
as certain that the failure Of the negotiations
would be followed by the movement Of tho
Russian army the points of reform that are
the basis Of the schedule made by the Con-
ference were discussed with respect and
consideration but the Sultans Min
istry have changed tone from day to
day in this respect in proportion
as the evidences have multiplied that Russia
was not prepared to carry out the declara-
tions made in the autumn. But if all the
endeavor of Europe to secure reform in
Turkey is now rejected because it is be-
lieved that Russia cannot occupy Bulgaria
and exact the measures demanded there
may be some astonished Turks before the
summer comes. There is no reason why
Russia should go to war Immediately,
though the negotiation end in rupture.
War between nations is not a necessary
consequence Of their failure to agree
on specific projects. Russia, therefore, may
continue herlpreparations quietly, unless
Turkey shall be tempted, which is very un-
likely, to precipitate events by some act of
war. BY March the armistice will expire
and the Moslems will then recommence their
operations in Servia. Russia cannot fail to
act then; but by that time it is very likely
she may be fully ready to act, and on both
the probable theatres Of war, in Bulgaria
and beyond the Caucasus.

Dead Yet Living.

The funeral Of the great fnancier to-day
will be the occasion of good deal of talk
some Of it sensible, about the mistakes and
failures Of the deceased but great op-
portunity will be lost if talking and think
ing about Vanderbilt ends with this. The
career Of any man of great achievem ents
may in some way serve as warning, but it
cannot help having in it much that is val
liable by way of example. That which
man fails to do often depends upon circum-
stances and limitations over which he has
no control that which he does is generally
the result of his own effort. The life Of
man who, without single special advan-
tage of any kind, distanced. every one in
callings where the shrewdest of intellects
are engaged, deserves moro attention, in
public and in private, than feeble moral
izings and doleful retrospects ever amount
to. Energy, application, painstaking, pa
tience and persistence. made the dead Com
modore what he was, and they constitute
set of virtues of which the best man
alive might be proud. Their occa-
sonal misapplication by the deceased is
to be deplored, but their existence
and their results should never be forgotten.
The men who most severely criticise the
failings Of the old fnancier will leave the
greater part of their duty undone if they fail
to recognize, extol and emulate the leading
qualities of the dead mans character. Great
enterprises, benevolences and reforms Ian
guish everywhere to-day because there is
- Al
by which Cornelius Vanderbilt compelled
victory, and an appreciative study of this
quality is the best manner in which the best
men can consider the character of one who
in this respect surpassed them all.

good cause for it. People see and hear too many

upon for this sort of diversion would seldom
play to any empty seats.

greater than that which IS yielded
from one hundred acres of farming
lands farmed as it is generally done.
Now this is not as it should be, for
we think that every farmer should
make his labors as profitable as
possible. And yet it seems right
for the market gardeners to apply
a large amount of fertilizers and
work their land with care, keeping
down the weeds and having some
crop on the ground, all, or nearly
all Of the time, while the average
farmer seldom or never purchases
any fertilizers and do not care Of
what barnyard manure they make,
and we do not know but it is right
that the market gardeners should
make the most money. But the
farmer must advance as well as the
rest of the world, and if he does not
farm it, better and use more fer
tilizers, carefully saving what Is
made on the farm, and raise more
and better stock, as well as to raise
garden vegetables where practical

To hive swarm when in an

easy operation, when one knows
how to do it. Set the hive conven

any other convenient vessel, dip the
bees up and pour them down at the
of the hive. This must be
done very quietly and gently. One
should never be in a hurry when
handling bees. You will be likely
to get the queen among the first
bees removed from the cluster, as
she is usually in the lower part of
the swarm as they hang on the tree,

One of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is that its
members are compelled to see more
Of the shams of the world than any
other profession. Through every
newspaper Office, day after day, go
all the weaknesses of the world; all
the revenges that want to be reaped;
all the vanities that want to be
pulled; all the mistakes that want
to be corrected; all the dull speak
ers who want to be thought elo-
quent; all the meanness that wants
to get its wares noticed gratis in the
editorial columns, in order to save
the tax of the advertising columns;
all the men who want to be set
right who were never right; all the

Kind Treatment.

l have noticed great difference
in the treatment that farmers give
their cattle when they go where
they are not wanted. 1t Is natural
for animals to be looking out for
something good to eat, and we can
not expect them to show more judg-
ment than we do, and not go in at
an open door, when we had not
order enough to shut it. One man
will take a pitchfork, perhaps, and
run for the animal with a yell,
brighten it badly, and strike it with
the fork or q club-perhaps cause
it to slip and lame or injure it. The
farmer, in this case, is not only in
juring his own property, but he is
cultivating a bad temper. which is
worse than the injury to the ami
NAL. | have seen in many in
stances, others, in such case, treat
the animal kindly, call it out with a
gentle voice, and having nothing to
fear, it obeys without expecting a
pounding. Our domestic animals
are given to US for our good, and
we should treat them with the same
kindness that we should wish from
a superior to Us. Some managers
of animals appear nearly as brutal
as the animal they rule over. The
farmer whose cattle pay the best
profit, looks carefully to all the
wants, and is never cruel even to
his hrutes

Mixed Eusoandry.

We think that if farmers would
practice mixed husbandry" more
than they do, they would make
more money than they do. A great
many farmers only keep as much
stock as they can get along with
one or two cows, a team of horses,
and perhaps a yoke of oxen and a
few hogs. Now, such farmers never
get along well; they do not make
manure enough TO keep mp the fer
tili:y Of their farms, and they are
continually moving about from
place to place, running" one farm
i little while and then leaving it to
practice the same in other places.
We think that if farmers would
keep more stOck-eattle, sheep,
swine, chickens, turkeys, geese and
dueks-they would find it much
more profitable. Aye We viii make
it stronger than that, and will say
that we know it. 1t is an acknowl-
edged fact that butter-making and
poultry-raising have paid better
than cereal crops for the past few
years. And if so in the past, why
not in the futaFe7 We think there
is no danger that the business will
be overdone, at least in a good
many years. And we think that
not only butter-makIng and poultry
raising can be made profitable in a
number of instances, but market
gardening and fruit raising could
be carried on and pay a good profit
To the producer. A great many
market gardens, of one or two acres

Carriers for Children.

Children should never wear gar
tiers as the stockings can be kept
up perfectly well by an attachment
of elastic strips to the waistband-
If garters are worn, it is important
to know how to apply them without
the least risk of harm. At the bend
of the knee superficial veins Of the
leg unite and go deeply into the IN
der part of the thigh, beneath the
hamstring teudOns. Thus q hga-
ture below the knee obstruets all the
superficial veins. but il the Obstruc-
ton is above, the hamstring tendons
keep the pressure of the veins which
return the blood to the legs. IN
fortunately most people, in igno-
rance of the above facts, apply the
garter below the knee. Elastic
bands are the most injurious. They
follow the movements Of the mus
cles, and never relax their pressure
upon the veins Nonelastic bands,
during the muscular exertiOns, be
come considerably relaxed at inter
walls, and allow freer circulation of
the blood

I'VE BEEN THINKING.

I've been thinking-I've been thinking
What glorious world were this,
Did folks mind their business more,
And mind their neighbors' less
For instance: you and 1, my friend,
Are sadly prone 70 talk
Of matters that concern Us not,
And obhsrs' follies mock
I've been thinking if we BEGIN
To mind our own affairs,
That possibly ouI neighbors might
Contrive TO manage theirs
We've faults enough at home TO mend
It may re so of others;
It would seem strange if it were not,
Since all mankiL 4 are brothers
Oh would that we had charity
For every man and woman!
FORGIVENESS Is the mark of those
Who know ''to err Is human"
Then let Us Danish jealousy;
Let's lift our fallen brother;
And as we journey down ife's road,
Do good TO one another.

Early Rising 1elusion.

For farmers and those who live
in localities where people can retire
at eight or nine o'clock in the even
ing, the old notion about early ris-
ing is still appropriate But he who
is kept up till ten or eleven or
twelve clock, and then rising at five
or six, because of the teaching of
some old ditty about ''early to rise"
is committing a sin against his own
soul There is not one man in ten
thousand wac can afford to do with
out seven or eight hours sleep. All
the stuff written about great men
who slept only three or four hours a
night is apocryphaL. They have
been put upon such small allowance
occasionally and prospered; but no
man yet kept healthy in body and
mind for number of years with less
than seven hours sleep. If you can
get to led early, then rise early; if
you cannot get to bed till late, then
rise late. 1t may be as proper for
one man to rise at eight as it is for
another to rise at five. Let the
rousing bell be rung at least
thirty minutes before your public
Physicians say that
sudden jump out of bed gives irreg-
ular motion to the pulses. 1t takes
hours to get over a too sudden ris-
ing. 1t is barbarous to expect chill

US time after you call Us, to roll over,
gaze at the world full in the face, /
and look before we leap.
