To the Public.

We have repeated calls tor back
numbers of this paper which we are
unable to meet. The price of paper
is so great that we cannot afford to
print more than fifty extra numbers,
and the demand tor specimen copies
in nine. cases out OF ten, unac-
companied by money, takes up all
of these. In a few weeks more those
subscriptions which began with the
present volume will have expired
and they should take care to renew
in time, if they wish a complete file.
We give this timely noIice as many
OF our subscribers live out of the
United States. This volume expires
with No. 1912.

Lemon Tests.

In California they so to woyk sci
entifically to test the value oflemons
grown in that state, but we are not
sure that the test Of citric acid can al
ways be taken as criterion, Tor the
acidity OF a lemon depends in 8 great
measure, ON the seasons, age of the
tree, and the land on which it is
grown. 1t the seasons are dry the
lemon will contain less juice, and be
more acid than in rainy seasons. The
thickness OF the rind and size of fruit
depends, also, in a great measure on
the age OF the tree. We know Of
lemon trees thao produced very large,
unmarketable fruit a few years back
that are now bearing handsome fruit
that bring good prices. We are not
aware if age will change the bitter
ness OF the skin, time and repeated
trials alone will show; but our socie
ties should attend to this aud have
the tests made with the same care as
in California. On this subject the
Riverside Press OF California SAYS A:
"The value of a lemon depends
upon its size, shape, color, thickness
and quality of rind, texture of pulp,
amount OF juice and percentage of
citric acid. 1t is generally conceded
that a bitter rind should reject a
lemon even though other qualities
might be good. The test tor bitter.
ness is to let the rind remain in water
twenty.lour hours if the water has
no bitterness or but a trace, the lemon
is all right OH that score. The size
OF lemon should be medium, from
four to five ounces in weight; the
, pulp should be solid and the mem,
branes thin.
While at Pasadena last week We
were furnished several lemons for
testing to ascertain the amount of
citric acid they contained. The test
liquids are prepared by Professor E.
w. Hllgard, OF the State University.
and may be relied upon.
Following is the result of the tests
as applied TO four lemons:

speeches, and at this day it would
seem difficult, even tor party preJu'
dice to deny that he is the favorlte
of the public.
Not thirty years ago Mr.. Glad
stone was staunch conservative IN
politics as he had been at the outset,
and from his High Church and Tory
point of view he discussed in an able
work "The State and the Church"
reviewed at the time by Lord Ma
cauly. Having gradually changed
his political opinions under process
of honest conviction, he became the
leader of the Liberals in the House
of Commons, at the age OF 90, in the
ripe fullness of his marvellous power;
three years later he was made Prime
Minister and continued at the head
of the government from 1868 to 1874;
and now, at the age of II years,
from the commanding position which
he occupies, by the voice of the ma
ton it appears to be at his option,
again to be the foremost in office
among Englishmen, or to be content
with the spotless fame which he has
won by honest and fearless devotion
to duty-a tame to which place, title
and rank could add no luster, but
which, we trust. is yet further to be
illustrated by other services rendered
to his country and the world.

A Political Revolution in Great
Britain.

The victory of the Liberals in the
recent Parliamentary election is one
of the most complete. as it is one of
the most unexpected, on record and
among its results there may be
the starting of the British people
in some important respects-upon a
new career, for the victory seems to
have been achieved by discussing
questions of high principle and not
matters of mere expediency and pol
icy, before the nation. 1t is finally
decided that England will not be

not go on irritating and provoking
Russia, that while asserting and

Don't Work in Colonies.

We have never yet seen any colony
of settlers in this country to prosper,
and for very good reason, for they
are made up of different dispositions
and elements. No two families can
live in one house long before discord
will arise, however good the people
may be, then, how much more diff
cult it is to adapt the minds of one
hundred or more people to the same
way of thinking. Twenty people
may join in buying one thousand
acres of land, but for those twenty
people to work it in common without
disputing is an impossibility; one
man is lazy, another is quarrelsome,
one wants the work done in man.
ner distastetul to the other, one wants
to plant one thing and another some.
thing different, and quarrels will
arise. The thousand acres may. how
ever, be bought by twenty people
and divided up by mapping it into
plots and drawing lots and by this
means forming community of neigh
bors who can assist each other in
forming schools, churches, and towns
and working for the public good, at
the same time benetitirg themselves.
Divide the land up and give each
family their share and in very short
time the worthy man can: be seen in
his work. He is doing it for himself
and family, he loves the labor of inn
proving his place, his cottage how
ever humble, is neat, his fields how
ever small are we'll kept, he works
with Judgment and always has little
time for recreation for himself and
family. His wife and daughter have
garden of flowers which they love
and take care of; his property be-
gins la accumulate and he is univer-
sally respected Oy his neIghbors.
What is the improvident settler
about all this time? He builds a
shanty Of all the rough and cheapest
materials he can find, and puts up
fences OF the same description, his
fields are not half titled, and he plants
after the seeds of his neighbor have
commenced to grow, and coMSe-
quently ships after the market has
been glutted. His stuff is so badly
packed that he gets no return but
loses, then he curses the country
and all in it, sells out and leaves, then
better man purchases and improve
ments 90 on. Our advice to new
settlers is TO have their own place,
however small it may be, to them
selves.
