B. b. Jones, near Coos City. The

is solid and there is no better protected

three thousand feet from the mouth

SHALL THE FARaER BE EDUCATED.

Although # has been said that ev-

ologist, meteorologist, chemist, ETC.,
or study medicine 10 be his own doc
tor, or law TO make it unnecessary to
employ q lawyer, or theology, with
the sole view Of doing hisown preach
Ing, stlIl there Is little doubt that all
general information, and the more
exact the better, has tendency, II
well supplied, to be useful to the far
mers best interests. Every cultiva-
tor desires to gather from the soil, at
small expense, large crops, with as
little injury as possible to the source
Of production. He cannot do this
without being familiar with the gen.
eral principles in the various depart
ments ST his profession and under.
standing most thoroughly the art oi
agriculture. The man who grows
crops well must understand the ma.
ture Of soils, which includes more re-
search than would enable him to ar
rive ct the conclusion that one is san
dy and another clayey, etc. Also, /
he would market his crops to advan
tage, and properly attend to the mul
titude Of affairs that accumulate abou
the farmer of to-day, he must posses
some knowledge beyond the commoI
branches of reading, writing, anC
arithmetic. What kind of education
then, should the farmer havei What
ever other opinions they may enter
tain in regard to the farmers educa
ton, all will agree that one Of tn
most essential branchei of that edu
cation shall be a thorough training il

other one thing will fit him for thl
various and many-sided transaction
Of his busy lite. It is necessary tha
he should be a nanof business % wei

garded as a ahopeful sign Of the time

MEErrxefor AxcEEnr ExrmIes.

1t is nearly 200 years since William
III. Of England, violating his own
royal proclamation, sent band Of his
soldiersof the Campbell clan and alangh-
tered all the inhabitants of the valley
of Glencoe, by the stream which Ossian
calls "the dark torrent of Coma The
Macdonalds, 70 which clan those nm
happy people belonged, have never for
gotten that military executios,' which
was. really a Wholesale murder; and to
this day the old resentfuI feeling crops
out, sometimes suddenly and in unex-
pected places. The Halifax n. 81
Herald says:
"a good story is told Of the Marquis
Of Lorne and two Glengary Highlanders
who called on him the other day. Ever
since the massacre at Glencoe, in which
the Cainpbells did the bloody work Of
the crown, the clan Campbell ha
been in bad odor with the clan M
donald, and other sects indeed, it IL
proyerb that the Macdonalds ami
Campbells Gamma eat o the same kaii-
pot The Glengary men, Macdonalds
to the backbone, were in Ottawa ON
business, and, after much debate, re-
solved to pay their respects to the Mar
quis Of Lorne as the Governor General,
not as a son Of the Callum Nor. On
their way TO the hall they had talked
the matter over again, and one of them
suggested that perhaps the Marquis,
being Campbell, would refuse to see
Macdonald, in which case their position
would be humiIiating.
At the gate they met the Marquis
with Maj. de Wintons, and, taking
them for servants, the Highland man
asked if the Marquis would care to
meet 'twa Macdonalds' to call on the
Marquis. His Excellency replied that
the Marquis bore no malice to the Mac
donalds, and that, Sir John Macdonald
being his first Minister, it was clear the
Macdonalds had forgiven the Campbells.
Forgiven the Campbells r cried one Of
the visitors. forgotten Glencoe Sir
John is paid for that he has $50, 900
a year for it but the dell take me gin
we forgie or forgetP and with this the
choleric Gaels turned their faces toward
Ottawa.
The Marquis, however, disclosed him
self, and, after a hearty handshakiug,
the feud was temporarily healed. The
visitors were turned over to the Argyle
shire piper, who is prominent member
of the household, and by him treated
so handsomely that on their departure
they frankly acquitted the Marquis of
all responsibility for the massacre"

EHE FORMATION OF CHARACTER.

There is practical as well as sci
entific basis for the position taken by
the Rev. Phillips Brooks, in a recent
discourse in New York, namely, that
the law of evolution rules in moral as
well as in the physical world: eNa-
ture does not create, but is always de-
velopine. In last summers Roots na-
ture finds the germ for nextsummer's
yerdure. If somebody should give
me a diamond to carry to Europe, l
can know exactly how much would
be lost were to drop it into the sea;
but if seed should be given me, /
con only regard it with awe as con-
tanning, concealed within 1t, the food
of untold generations. That is the
difference between looking Mt truth
as diamond or as seed-as final or
germinal.
stIn all training of character, con-
tinuitY and economy must be esupreme.
The notion that character is sponta-
neous is held by most people in the
earlier portion of their lives, and is
wrong. When they discover this,
nine-tenths change to the other su-
lpreme. This is wrong, 100. Hosts
of young men thiuk that character
viii form of itself and that they will
necessarily become better as they
grow older. Hosts of old men be.
lieve that their character is fixed and
that it is impossible for them to be
come better. Such beliefs are fool
! ish. People are also wrong in think
ing that they can put off their baC
i traits and put on good traits. Tht
} old failures cannot be be thus trans
0 formed, but out of the old habits nev
can be formed. This is what many
t poor creature needs to keep. w,
s must make what we are 10 be out o
, what we are already"

A WORD 10 FARMERs, SONS.

Farmers sons are quite apt to sup
pose that they can only attain to any
coveted position in life through an
avenue Of some trade or profession.
They look about aud find the wealthy
men nearly all belonging to these
classes. They do not stop to consider
that ouly the wealthy ones comes to
view; that for every one of those
who has acquired wealth or distinc-
ton, ninety-nine others have failed
and disappeared, or have never risen
to notice at all. They act on the be-
lief that they are the only persons
that can be called into public life, ig-
noring the fact that it is the training
they get that constitutes the differ
ence, rather than the calling. A far
mer of equal learning and culture
with the lawyer would, we believe,
find himself in just as good request,
with perhaps many chances in his
faver. IT the farmer allows the pro.
fessional man to monopolize all the
advantages at the start, he must ex-
pect to find himself at disadvantage
all the way throngh.-Dirsgo Rural

THE sUEz CANAL.

AT recent meeting of the Saez
Canal Company some important sta
tistics of its working were given. 1t
appears that the receipts of the Conn
pany and the tonnage of ships pass
ing through the canal showed in1S7S
for the first time since the opening a
threatening diminution. In 1870
there passed through the canal 4S6
ships, representing q tonnage of 49,
600, and the receipts were6, 159, 5000 j;
IN 1878 there were 1,173 Eships with
tonnage of 2,OS5, 900, and the re-
ceipts were %, 1897, ,OO9f.; in 1877
there were 1858 ships, with a
tonnage of 3, ,41S, 900, and the receipts
were STA, ,000f. But in 1878 the
number of ships declined to .593,
tonnage to 1921 900, and the re-
ceipts to 81 ,09S,000f 1t may be
some consolation to learn that FIVE
sixths of the whole tonnage passing
through the canal is British. The
diminution of the traffic is unequally
distributed. English traffic has fall
en- off by only q per cent German by
nearly 40 per cent, Danish by So per
cent, and Egyptian by AZ per cent.
On the other hand, the trade under
the French, Spanish, Portuguese, and
American flags has slightly increased.
It is to be noted that the falling Of
in the receipts last year would have
been much more considerable but for
the large payments made by the
British Government in respect of the
transport of the Indian troops 10 and
from the Mediterranean.
