A sRrcEi AVER writes from Manitoba to the
I"H,nto GLOBE warning mechanics not to 20 TO
the northwest, as there is hardly any work to I've
got there, and living is very expensive. Many
are leaving Manitoba, he says, and are going to
the states, which shows that there are sensible
people in Manitoba rs elsewhere.

Destroying Weeds.

The remedy for nOXiOus weeds is
thorough cultivation. Ii piece of
ground is full of briars, milk-weed, couch
grass, Sodom apples, Canada thistles,
sorrel, toad flax or other miserable stuff
that 30 often tries the mettle of our good
farmers, let them put the ground in corn
for a couple of years or so, keeping the
cultivator going continually, and espe-
cially going in the earliest part of the
season, and the toughest character
among these weeds will fail to stand the
ordeal. II the hand.hoe can re spared
to go in among the hills of corn occa-
sionally, where the teeth of the harrow
cannot reach, or to cut off here and there
one which the harrow may miss, bad
case may be cured in single season.
But, if this can not be done, couple of
successive years witha sharp-tooth culti-
vator among corn crop will generally
do the business for the worst case that
ever was.
Let any one who has a weedy field be-
fore him resolve, another season, to put
the whole tract in corn and keep clean,
and he will soon give up all the common
ideas of smothering out with deep layers
of earth, cutting up in the full of the
moon, putting salt upon their tops, or
the many other recommendations started
in the interest, it is believed, of laZiness,
but which really call for more trouble
and hard work than a thorough and
systematic cleaning, such as we have in

The two most important British Embassies at
this moment, namely, those of st. Petersburg
and Constantinoplc are filled by amcteur diplo-
matists, Lord Duiferin and Mr.. Goschen, both
men of marked ability. Lord Duircrin had but
Il slight experience of diplomacy of desultory
kind, and Mr.. Goschcn's name is not III the
foreign Office list. 1t will seem strange to the
professional diplomatist TO understand how

What II is to he a professional diplomatist may
be seen from the record of Lord Lyons. His
services extend over forty-onc years, and have
been rendered at Athens, Dresden, Florence

Paris. During this time he rose step by step
from an unpaid attacheohip to his present rank,
thus acquiring an intimate knowledge Of each
successive grade Of the service.

know anything about it. After some
moments of reflection, he decided to
go to a neighbours to borrow SHOW
ell, and to reach the head and should
ers of Mis- Brown by driving tun-
mel through the lower part of the
snow-bank, by means of which he
could extricate her without putting
her to any Inconvenience.
It took some time for Mr.. Hop.
kins to obtain a shovel, but his
search was finally successful, and he
began to dig his tunnel. The bank
was an enormous one, aud he fore
saw that be would have to work a
long time before he could strike
Miss Brown in paying quantities.
He worked ON steadily and silently.
Not word came from the impris-
oDed young lady, though he repeat
edly begged her to make herself
comfortable and to rely upon his de-
votion and shovel. Fully.twenty min
ntes passed from the time the accident
occurred when young Smedley, from
the post-ofiice. approached the scene,
on his way home. TO his questions,
Mr.. Hopkins replied by explaining
in the most delicate way the diff.
Guilty under which Miss Brown la
bored, and the means by which he
was trying to extricate her. Young
Smedley heard him through, and
then, with q totally irrelevant re-
mark, expressing an inexplicable
confidence that in the future he
would be personally and completely
" darncd," he climbed the snow
bank, seized-that is to say, took
hold of-in fact, pulled Miss Brown
suddenly and violently from her
snowy tomb.
The young lady, as every one
knows, recovered consciousness in
the course of the evening-thanks
to DR.. Sabin's prompt and skillful
treatment. Strange to say, she con-,
ceived on unaccountable hatred for
Mr.. Hopkins, and carried it to such
an extent that she is now understood
to be engaged to marry young Smed-'
ley. The most painful feature of
the affair is this curious incapability
of the young lady to appreciate the
delicacy and respect with which Mr..
Hopkins Treated her. He would,
have dug her out in the course of an
hour and released her without sub
jecting her feelings to the slightest
wound, but she actually preferred
the rough and brutal treatment to
which young Smedley subjected her.
Can it be that Mr.. Goodwin Smith
is right, and that we are on the
verge of a moral interregum ?-N Y.

An Ostrich Farm.

Mr.. McKellar has an ostrich farm,
but his flock of birds was not very
large at the time of our visit, be
having had bad luck at first breed
ing. -.--..
He owns the actual Cape of Good
Hope and a long stretch Of the moor
land adjoining, and has thrown
wire fence right across the peninsu-
la, so as to give his ostriches tho run
of large tract, stretching right
down to the cape itself. One old
hen ostrich was pet about the
house. but used to do such sad dam
age in the farmyard eating the
young goslings, swallowing them
like SO many oysters.
1t was amusing to go with Mr..
McKellar into one of his breeding
paddocks; here a pair of ostriches
were breeding on n nest of eggs,
dividing, as usual, the labor be-
tween them.
The cock was very savage and
attacked all intruders, so his master
had long pole with fork at the
end of it, and when the ostrich ran
at the party he caught it's neck in
the fork. The ostrich was excess
lively enraged, but soon had to give
in.
A kick from an ostrich is we'll
known as very dangerous. The
only thing to do when attacked
without means of defense, Mr. Nc
kellar said, is to lie fiat down and
let the bird walk on you till he is
tired. / was astonished at the
brightness of the red coloring devel-
opel on the front of the legs of the
cock bird during the breeding sea-
son. Tho Ornamental appearance OF
the bird is greatly enhanced by it.
A narrow but strong and high pen
is provided for plucking the birds
in. They are driven into it and held
fast. 1t is better to pluck the feath-
ers out than to cut them off. The
stumps. if left in, are apt to cause
trouble.
Young ostriches, when first from
the shell, have curious bony plates
at the tips of their feathers, like
those il the feathers of one of the
Indian jungle fowls, and some other
birds not in the least related to one
another.

The Baptists ministers of Phila-
delphia, have been discussing the
question, Is the pulpit losing its
power?' The principal speaker ad-
mitted that the multitude was no
longer attracted to the churches,
but he added: What then? The
minister of Christ is not the head of
a house of public entertainment.
If the public entertainer does not
draw be is a failure. Not so with
the preacher. He may have small
following and yet do great good. |"
Another said that the preachers who
attracted the largest congregations
were by no means the most infuen-
tiaI; another thought that preachers
had weakened themselyestby med
ding with politics; and another re-
marked: "The inveterate tendency
on the part of the press to hold
Christian sentiment up to ridicule,
and to. attack the character of the
ministry, has had much to do in
making US lose our power.

no one-man power controls the Re-

horns and put ring in his nostrils,

horns firmly under the Blaine par
