Tue Pubic LANDs.-Mai Powell, the
explorer of the plains, in recent article on
the public lands before the American acad-
envy Of sciences says that the proportion Of
public lands left suitable for settlement is
very small. "There is not left unsold in
the whole United States, Of lanl which q
poor man could turn into farm, enough
to make one average county in Wisconsin.
Possibly there is some land 10 Texas aud the
Indian territory, which could not be brought
within this limit but none elsewhere. The
great grazing areas on the plains of course
cannot be taken up and utilized in quarter
sections OF 160 acres. The public lands arc
humid or arid, reckoning as humid all those
which will support agriculture without ir-
rigation. Most of the humid lands IRE now
confined to the swamps of Florida aud other
southern states, and Minnesota alone has any
arabic lands which could be taken up under
the homestead law. OF the 100000 acres
Of arid land, about B per cent is irriga6le
Maj Powell does not include 10 this state
ment the millions of acres of the lands oil
railroads, which are offered to settlers OF
terms nearly as favorable as those Of the
government, nor does he discuss the effect oil
railroads aud small settlements in changing
the climate and converting arid wastes into
regions of rainfall. There are large section,
of the country which can never be very thick
y peopled. Prof. Morgan in subsequent
discussion thought the Indians and the buff
falo should be permitted to live together in
the grazing regions, and Prof Henry sal,
that he had long regarded the system Of pub
lie land distribution as wrong, based AZ i
was on uniformity Of character in the sol
which did not exist.-SprinGfeld Repubi

A MINISTER AFRAID OF THE DEVIL was
the novel scene presented in a church at
Gartmore, England. on a recent Sunday.
The minister, who is in the habit Of warning
his congregation on special occasions against
the Vaccinations Of the evil one, was deliver
ing discourse on his favorite theme, when
suddenly a large window blind aud roller
behind the pulpit lost its hold, falling right
over the preacher and completely concealing
him for time from his flock. In its descent
the roller smashed number Of window panes,
and the clatter Of the falling glass added
panic to the already terrified condition of
the enshrouded preacher. Ignorant Of the
cause of the sudden darkness and horrible
noise, he thought he might have exceeded
the bounds of discretion in his denunoiatons
of the devil, who had there.upoa arrived
hastily in person bent on retaliation. A
frightlul shrek of ~ am gone !" echoed
through the church. and the maddened
preacher with one bound cleared the pulpit,
not even stopped until he reached the ex.
treme coner Of the edIfce. 1t may be we'll
imagined that the suddenness of this alarm
ing incident and its dramatic nature exer.
cised most powerful effect on the nerves
Of all who witnessed it. Fortunately there
was no general panic or the consequences
might have been serious; but the story
should be lesson to those ministers who
touch upon the delicate question OF the per
sonality of the devil to retain their self
possession under any circumstances, aud not
to leave the pulpit unless absolutely elected
from it by force.

The POISONED MIND.-It is not acts that
blacken the soul it is not conduct which
destroys. These are but the holes which the
worms, bred 10 the very 6ber Of the wood,
have eaten. These are but the fruit aud WIS.,
ible witness Of disease which holds the en-
tire body in its power, making the veins its
channels, every drop of blood its servant,
every pulsation of the heart its slave. The
thoughts destroy. The imagination puts the
marring touch upon the whiteness of young
souls. You cannot reform druRkard until
you first reform his mind. What needs to
be done is to have the craving for stimulants
taken out of him. Over against his inordl-
nate desire you must raise up some stronger
repusion which shall be more than match
for his appetite for liquor. This is the true
philosophy in every branch of morals. You
must change the man himself if You must
change his habits. There is no life so hard
as a religious life to man without religion

II Is very common, though not very
economical practise 10 lock the barn after
the horse has been stolen. In various ways
multitude Of farmers follow out the spirit
Of this old proverb. Indeed, so universal
is the habit, We must all plead guilty Of hav-
ing, at some times in our lives, waited too
long before taking those preventive meas
ures which we know were absolutely required.
Just now one Of the principle directions n
which care is needed in this respect is in re-
gard to the pasture fences. II is now time
to turn the cattle out 10 grass and we are
all 10 hurry to get them into the pastures
and DO about the other work which is rapidly
coming on. Around many pastures the fen
ces are poor and repairs are absolutely re-
quired, but in the great hurry OF spring work
there is a strong temptation to let the fences
remain as they are until a more convenient
season." We can turn 10 the cattle and
cherish the hope, but not the expectation,
that they will keep quiet during the season,
or, at least, until we can attend to this fence
Experience teaches that should such hopes
are doomed TO disappointment. The fence
that is neglected when the cattle are turned

get out. Then perhaps right in the midst Of
haying when the work is far more pres
sing than 1t is now--time must be taken to
make the repairs which ought TO be done in
the spring. 1t has been found that wheu
by reason Of getting out Of their enclosures,
cattle become discontentcd and form the habit
Of roaming at large, it is much more difficult
aud requires much stronger fence To compel
them to remain where they belong than it
needed if it is made before they get out Of
the pasture. A good fence made in the
spring is worth far more for keeping cattle
in a pasture than an extra fence which is
not put up until they have got into the habit
of going when and where they please. We
all know that it is deal better to lock tho
barn before the horse is stolen than il is to
wait until he is irretrievably lost. Let US
realize that it is just as much better to
put up our pasture fences before our cattle
get out than it is to wait until they have
become discontinued and and d etermined not
TO stay at home.

Born WoRK AND WoRsHP.-It is great
mistake to suppose that God has nothing in
this world for his children to approach ex-
cept an altar. Has God no service for you
to render except worship 2 Is he infinite only
10 self.love2 In the whole history Of man
God has seemed to demand only the morning
and evening prayer. OF the seven days he
asked only one for himself. The mightg
ones whom he has marked with his love have
knelt at the altar only at times between the
great day that has passed and the day that
Is coming. Thus history, 10 the midst of
which Gods will appears, tells US that the
same Deity who has built an altar has made
also world, and that the highest form OF
manhood will never be the monk or the inf
del, but the soul which sees at once the altar
of God aud the universe Of God.-Darid
