A Problem.

How unmarried women who desire to earn
their living are to do so by the exercise of
their intellectual faculties, is one Of the
great problems Of the day, and by far too ex-
tensive a subject to discuss at present. Our
aim has been to point out that in controver-
sizes on the question the medical aspect is
lost sight of frequently, and it is forgotten
that in the competition for life, woman is the
weaker vessel, and liable to be broken when
too roughly handled. Sage philosophers
may speculate what ages may effect by evo-
luton but, taking woman as we find her. we
believe her welfare is to be consulted, not by
encouraging her to take an Independent posi-
ton in life, and by fostering a contempt for
marriage which is now the prOfessed ten
dency of the strongminded young lady, but
by educating her in such q judicious and
sensible manner as will make her good
wife. mother and useful member of society,
which unfortunately is not the inclination of
the present age. Ii this were more SYSTEM
atically carried out, there would be fewer
single women under the necessity of work.
ing for their own living; the outcry In be-
half of these unappropriated blessings would
be modified, and on entering the marriage
state. which is the happiest as well as the
healthiest condition, they would place them
selves in the position that is intended by ma
ture they should occupy.

4 GhOstly Drummer Boy.

LONDON, October 9.-Some curious state
ments are appearing in regard to the warn
ing" alleged to have preceded the death of
Lord Airlie out West. In the Airlie family
the death token is the beating of drum,
and this signal has apparently been heard by
reputable witnesses. The late DR.. Norman
Mcleod lent the weight of his testimony to
some extent to it, Others declare that just
befor the death of Lord Airlie's father in
1910, they were staying at Airlie Castle, For
fashire, and heard mysterious music long be-
fore they were aware he was dying in Lon
don. 1t is also reported that the ghOstly
drummer boy was again heard just before
the death Of the late peer in Denver, Colo
RADIO. One of the servants heard it first in
the corridor, and it is said that sounds also
reached the room of Lady Airlie, whose great
prostration was partly caused by this dread
ed visitor. The affair has given rise to con-
siderable correspondence on the subject of
ghosts, wraiths and second sight.

Beet Sugar.

The number of sugar mills in 1873 was
329, against 14S in 1850, and the product of
1873 was 850,000,000 pounds more than
twenty-eight years before. 1t takes about
twelve pounds of the beets to make one of
sugar. The total production of all Europe
in 1873 was 3,000,O00,000 pounds The por-
ton of the United States best adapted to the
cultivation of the sugar beet is that border
ing the Canadian line, from New England to
Washington Territory Many advantages
favor the production Of beet root sugar in
this country, and no other industry, perhaps,
would yield so large a return to the public
as this. The crop of 1879 showed defcien-
cy Of over two hundred thousand tons in
Europe alone. In consequence Of this short
ness Of the crop, the imports Of cane sugar
greatly increased, England requiring one
hundred and fifty thousand tons more than
in 1873. The consumption of all descrip
tions of sugar in the United States is more
enormous than is generally supposed, amount
ing to 831 1896 tons in 1879, seven-eighths of
which were imported from foreign shores.
Let the production increase fast as it may,
it will be many years before the demand can
be fully supplied

Effects of Salt on Wheat.

In an interesting series Of experiments re-
Gently made on the farm OF the Royal
Agricultural Society of England, the ma
nurial value of salt was Enthusiastically in
dcated. An acre of wheat dressed with
three hundred pounds of common salt yield
ed thirty-nine bushels of grain, with pro-
portionate amount of straw, while an ad-
Joining acre, unmanured, produced twenty
nine bushels per acre, with the straw i'm
perfectly developed. The entire cost of the
crop is not stated, but thisexperiment shows
that the additional ten bushels resulting
from the sale were produced at a cost of
thirty cents each. In another case piece
of ground intended for wheat was ploughed
the preceding fall, and again in May, when
it was sowed with salt, and afterward
ploughed before seeding. On the 1st and
I'd of September wheat was sown at the rate
of two bushels to the acre. The crop when
harvested, yielded, according to the estimate
of the owner Mr.. John Parke, not less than
forty bushels of grain to the acre, with
luxuriant growth of straw. From these and
many similar cases the inference seems to be
that salt is a specific for the wheat crop, i'm
parting soldity to the grain and frmness to
the straw. But it must not be concluded
that equally good results will always follow
the application of salt.
