Farm Life.

1t is a common complaint that the
farm and farm life are not appreciated
by our people. We long for the more
elegant pursuits, or the ways and fash
ions of the town. But the farmer has
the most sane and natural occupation,
and ought to find life sweeter, if less
highly seasoned, than any other. He
alone, strictly speaking, has a home.
How can q man take root and thrive
without land? He writes his history
upon his field. How many ties, how
many resources he has, his friendships
with his cattle, his team, his dog, his
trees, the satisfaction in his growing
crops, in his improved fields; his in
timacy with nature, with bird and beast,
and with the quickening element forces
his corporations with the cloud, the
sun, the seasons, heat, wind, rain, frost.
Nothing will take the various social dis
tempers which the city and artificial
life breed out of man like farming,
like direct and loving contact with the
soil. 1t draws out the poison. 1t hum
bles him, teaches him patience and rev.
erence, and restores the proper tone to
his system.
Cling to the farm. make much of it.

and your brain upon it, so that it shall

Railroad Building.

During the last four years, according
to the Director of the Bureau of Statis-
tics, we have been building railroads at
the rate of 2,224 miles per year. The
importation of railroad bars, both iron
and steel, fell from 500, ,321 tons in 1871
to twelve tons in 1877; but the produc-
ton of iron and steel bars in the United
States increased from 2,05S,141 tons
during the five years from 1867 to 1871
to 4,O56,340 tons during the five years
from 1878 to 1877, an increase of 81 per
cent. The supply of iron and steel rail-
road bars necessary to meet the demand
of our 10000 miles of railroad already
in operation, for renewals of track and
for the extension of track facilities, in
order to meet the necessary require
ments of traffic, is now about three
times as large as the supply required for
track-laying on new roads. This pro-
duction of bars to supply railroads in
operation has, in fact, mainly sustained
the iron and steel rail interests of the
country in their present state of eff
cheney.

The reindeer replaces the horse and
the OK where these animals could not be
utilized. In the Russian empire there
are computed to be about 100000, OF
which 6S0,000 are in Europe. In Si-
IBERIA there are more than 100000. The
Koraks of Eastern Siberia, who are no.
mads, and live in skin tents, have i'm
mense herds of reindeer, some tribes
owning not less than $4,000. These
supply the food, clothing and means OF
transport. The pride of the Laplanders
is also to haye large herds of reindeer
for their sledges. They drink the milk
of these animals, and make cheese of it
they clothe themselves with the skins
and eat the flesh.

RUSSIA during the war of l769-l774
had nearly 100000 men in the field, and
the medical staff, including apothecaries
and dressers, consisted of 1876 men.
e" The loss from fever and plague re-
ported the writer, "was greater than from
foes wearing turbans." During the re-
cent war Russia was able for the first
time to do without the aid of for
eign surgeons. During the Crimean
war the military authorities had been
imposed upon sadly by scores of quacks
with bogus diplomas from Germany or
America, some of whom would not
touch the sick or wounded with any
thing but walking-stick as they strolled
through the hospital.

II is narrated that poor washer
woman of New Orleans found herself
with four of her children down with the
yellow fever. She lad some experience
as a nurse, and resolved to be her own
family physician. To induce perspira-
ton upon her patients was her main en-
deavor, and, as to three of them, she met
with abundant success. The disease in
the youngest would not yield to any
treatment suggested by her experience.
She resolved on the heroic. The little
one was placed in a boiler of water on
the stove and kept there so long as the
temperature was at all bearable. The
poor thing was very nearly parboiled
but. with the other children, it recov.

IT is rule of the Chinese Six Com
panies of San Francisco that no China
man shall open a wash-house within a
certain distance of one already estab-
lished. A Chinaman infracted the rule,
and was ordered to close his shop. He
refused. Next he received formal no.
tice that he must move and pay fine
of $40. Still he disobeyed. Soon he
was missing. After a long search by
white friends he was found chained in O
cellar, where he had been left to starve
He was released only to disappear again
and it is supposed that, by order of the
secret tribunal, he has been murdered
The San Francisco Chronicle vouches
for the truth of the story, and adds that
many such could be told.

The gain of eighteen Republican
Senators which is to result from the re-

One of the greatest farms in the
Northwest is the Grandin," in Dakota.
The Grandin brothers, who were bank
ers and oil spectators at Titusville, Pa,
came into possession of immense tracts
of land near the Northern Pacific rail
road upon the failure of Jay Cooke &
Co. Their farm consists of nearly TO-
600 acres, and of this immense tract
there is very little waste land.

AMONG the innovations in methods of
transportation, the narrow-gauge rail
way system has branched out wonder
fully in the few years of its existence.
There are 3,0S2 miles of this road in
the United States, and 5000 more un-
der contract. 1t is claimed by the ad-
vocates of the new king of railroading
that, owing to the small cost of con-
struction and equipment in the narrow
gauge system and to other advantages,
freight carrying can be done 20 per
cent. cheaper than by the old lines, not
merely for short distances and local
traffics, but for the heavy freightage OF
main through lines as well. They fig
ure up that our railroads, exclusive of the
narrow-gauge, have cost, up to 1878, 81,
200,000,000, the interest-bearing portion
of which calls annually for the expendi-
ture of $26000,000. The same length
of narrow gauge road might have been
built, they say, debt free from this vast
amount and leave an uneXpended sur
plus of $2, O,OO0,0O0. Enough to pay
the national debt would thus have been
saved by the substitution of narrow
gauge for broad gauge in our 10000
miles of railway But it is not perfectly
clear that the new system, in spite of its
evident advantages for certain kinds of
transportation, could in all respects fill
the place acceptably of the broad gauge
through lines.
