THE WEEK OF PRAYER FOR IouNG MEN
AT ASSOCIATION HALL.-The third meeting
OF this series was held yesterday evening,
with an increased attendance and deepen
ing interest.
Rev. DR.. J. G. Armstrong made an admi-
rable address, reading EcclesiaStes H., Ill.
and John w., 1914. and deducing as his
topic "a man proSpered beyond prcce-
dent, hut unsatiStied." He showed that the
scriptures not only do not condemn but ap-
prove Of worldly prosperity; but ably ar
gued that this prosperity will not bring
satisfaction unless along with it there IS
true picty. He earnestly appealed to young
men to become Christians, in order that they
may have true prosperity and calm satsfac-
tion here as we'll rs fadcless happiness here
after.
DR.. Armstrong, Mr.. J. d. II. Sleight, and
Rev. w. &. Starr, led in prayer, and num-
Der of spec ial requests which were present.
ed were remembered.
The meeting this evening, from to 6
O'Clock, will he led by Rev. }. L. Tyler, the
special topic suggested being ''The secret
OF young mans success in business"

These estimates haNn hncn nnrnnsnl,

These estimates have been purposely
made low as to receipts and high as to ex-
pcnscs, SO Us to show results for the first
three years greatly less favorable than those
promulgated by the promoters Of former
schemes. This because It was thought best
to err, if ut ALL on the safe side. There
can be no reasonable doubt that after tic
first two or three years the road will pay
handsomely.

Our readers in the Western States who have
been planting poplar trees, or cotton woods as
they are more generally termed, may be pleas
ed TO learn that The leaves are valuable for for
age. In Italy il is said that the leaves Of pop
lars have long been used as food for cattle, and
from analyses Of recent date, we are informed
that the leaves Will compare tavoraby with the
best clover hav and are remarkable for the
large amount ofdigcstlble, fat producing prop
critics they contain. If all Italian chemists
say about poplar leaves is true, a man mi ght
better plant his pastures with cuttings Of these
trees than seed them down to clover or any Of
our favorite kinds of grasses. But one practi.
cal test is worth dozen reports from the la

Since the transfer Of Alsace and Lorraine to
Germany the population OF France has been
estimated AT thirty-siX millions. This is prob
ably more nearly accurate than such estimates
usually are, as, in the first place, the French
collect and preserve statistics far more exact
and exhaustive than any other people, and in
the second place, the population is more nearly
stationary than that Of any other important ter
ritory. France has been for the past five years
the most prosperous y. civilized Nations and
her prosperity has not been in the brilliant for
tunes OF the snowy few, but in the comfortable
competence attained by the many. We are,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, apt TO think OF
the French rs cXcelling in the manufactures,
especially of productions requiring artistic
skill, and to these superior industries we often
attribute their exceptional good fortune through
the hard times prevailing all over the world.
But the truth appears 10 he that agriculture Is,
after all, the basis Of their accruing wealth, as
it has been of permanent and abiding welfare
in all lands and all times
OF the 3G 100000 of population, AS above
noted, 81 900, or about three,iifths, are ag-
riculturiss The total arabic area Is estimated
at 1140O0,G00 acres This would give an ay-
GRACE of IS acres to each individual, or TWEEN
ty-seven acres to each family OF 1--WE members.
A farm of twenty-sevcn acres in this coun-
try would be considered rather small pota-
toes" In the grain-growing regions OF the
West, the cottonfields of the South and among
the cattle ranches of the Southwest twenty
seven acres would be counted garden patch,
and not very large garden at that But in
France these small farms not only support the
cultivators families, but enable them to i'm.
prove their condition year by year. The rural
population raise crops enough tor themselves,
provide a surplus for the other two-tifths ofthc
community engaged in manufacture and trade
and usually have considerable stores to spare
for export beside. How small the shares con
tributed by each farm must be is illustrated by
the fact that any shortcoming of a crop is more
than likely to wipe out the surplus entirely,
as, for instance, the bad wheat harvest OF this
year makes oil the difference between the e1-
port of about 200O0,000 bushels and the i'm
port OF nearly rs large an amount. But this is
on. an accident. Usually the surplus can be
counted on with degree of certainty and the
French farmer Is in the long run sure OF fair
returns for his labor. 1t is plain to see that the
system of agriculture pursued on these minia-
ture plantations must be very different from
that in vogue on our broad prairies and wide
spreading valleys; ana in view Of the subsan-
tlsl results obtained, 1t may yet be worth our
while to learn what the distinctive features OF
this system are that gives success to the farm
ers of Francc.-CinciRndti Sun

HoT,BEDs.--liere is way to get up an ex-
cellent hot-bed, that we CLEAN from Southern
exchange, though it does not differ from the
way the Rerter described last year: Cut a
trench thirty inches deep, six feet wide, and OF
the required length. Fill it with fresh, unrot-
ted stable manure and leaves. well mixed and
damp; tramp the mass into the pit until it is
quite firm. On the top of this put six inches
depth of carefully selected and well raFed and
puIverized loan and wood scrapings, with Il
little decomposed stable manure. Put on the
box and close the sashes to raise the heat
which in few days will be apparent Open
the sashcs to let it and scalding gases escape
Az it begins TO subside and the surface attainS
a gentle and regular warmth, the bed will be
ready for use. 1t Is improper to SOW seeds in
bed when it is fresh, and the heat is new ant
xcessive.-ChicdgO Rcricr.

At the late annual exhibition of the Indiana
state Agricultural Society its managers rented
booths for the unrestricted sale of intoxicating
liquors. This gave rise to vast deal of scan
dalous intoXicaton, and consequent lndigna-
ton towards the managers The Indiana
Farmer and other journals have made 1t the
subject of earnest discussion. In response to
the many criticisms one of the managers, Mr.
Ryland Thomas, writes with much significance
as follows:
"Sincc | have come to the confessional,

whether We should prohibit saloons at the
state and county fairs. These tairs ought to
exhibit fairly the various industries IN which

Now, excepting agriculture, there is more
money invested in the manufacture of drunk
ards than in any other business in the State
and SO important ard profitable does the legis
lature of Indiana regard this business that
they refuse to suffer any one to engage in il

y common specific for Worn Out lands is rest.
There can be no greater error. Norn-out lands

A Subscriber wishes to know how this diff
fers from other soap. The hard soaps made in
this country are almost exclusively from ami
NAL fats; in the south Of Europe, where the
olive grows abundantly, the poorer kinds of
olive oil are used for soap-making. Common
soaps are soda and animal fat, CASTLE soap is
soda and vegetable oil In making CASTLE
soap. great care is taken to avoid an excess of
alkali the sodaD only just enough being used
to neutralize the Oil On this account the soap
is much mildcr, and may be used on WOUNDS
and other surfaces where common soap would
irritate and give pain. The mott!ed appear
ance of CASTLE soap is due to small quantity
of solution of copperas (sulphate ofiron) which
is stirred in it before it hardens; this leaves
blush oxide of iron in the soap which, when
exposed to the air, becomes changed to the red
oxide White CASTLE soap is also sold, which
is the same as the other without the ColOung.
Though called CASTLE, 1t Is by no means eN-
cluslvely made IN Spain, the largest share COM
ing from the south Of France, and indeed it IS
generally known in Europe as Marseiles soap,
