Thomas Carlyle.

THOMAS CARLYLE was born in 1895 at Eccle-
fechan, a small village in Dumfriesshire, Scot
land, where his father was a farmer. At the
age Of fourteen he entered the University Of
Edinburgh and passed through the regular
course of study. He remained at the Univer-
sity seven years after completing the course,
and determined to devote his life to literature.
He commenced his literary career in 1923 by
contributing to the Edinburgh Encyclopedia
some able articles of a biographical nature,
and followed up his success by articles for the
ReuieU of that city. Translations occupied
his attention for some time, and he gave the
public the geometry of Legendre and Goethe's
''Willhelm Meister." The Life of Schiller
followed, being published as serial in Lon
don magazine. In 1877 he married. Be
tween 1880 and 1883 he was engaged
upon "Sartor Resartus," and in 1857
1.-THE French Revolution" appeared. In 1910
he lectured on Hero Worship" which essays
were afterwards published in book FORM In
1843 appeared his "Past and Present." in 1913
the "Latter-Dav Pamphlets" In 1850, his
life of John Sterling" His great work was
SOLVER Cromwelrs Life and Speeches" which
was published in 1s45. In 1857 Mr.. Carlyle was
appointed trustee of the National Portrait
Gallery. In 1864 appeared his Life of Fred
erick the Great" and in 1865 lie became rector
of the University of Edinburgh. In 1870 he
declined the Grand Cross of the Order of the
Bath. For the last few years he has been in
frail health, and has refrained from the severe
labor of the student and author, contenting
himself with visits from his admirers and his
fame, which was worldwide.

breaker in that State, and many gentle
men who own fine animals intrust them

-. Mauna LOa's Eruption.

From the Hawaiian Sandwich Islands) Gazette.
The appearance of the great eruption from
the summit of Mauna Loa changes but lit
tie now from week to week: There is evil
dent progress in its work, as is seen by the
large fires in the woods, some eighteen
miles distant from Hilo. The light of the
fires is distinctly seen every clear night and
the columns Of smoke issuing from the
two great openings near the summit of the
mountain are apparent on any clear morn
ing. One thing is somewhat peculiar with
these two columns of smoke, as seen by
day, or masses of light, as they appear at
greater in the southern OF. opening than III the he
northern. This will continue for a day or
two, when the southern fire will die down to
a mere shred Of smoke and the northern
fire will brighten, showing very marked &C.
tivity. These alternationsr have been OBJ
served for nearly two weeks past. The flow
Of these great fires continues slowly but
surely and is gradually meeting the sea.

From the Salem (Mass.) Gazette, Feb 8.
Here is true story. which contains some
interesting features: Last Friday morning
the 9:20 train was on it's way from Salem to
Boston at full speed. A man occupied a
left hand seat near the center of the car
next to the window. He was, of course,
on that side of the car that would be nearest
to any train that might pass on the other
track. AS he sat there, this speculation,
without any particular cause, entered his
head: Suppose freight train should pass
and a piece of lumber should break away
from its moorings,> and 30 far project out as
to come tearing along the side of the pas
senger train. How many passengers be-
tween the center and rear end of the car
would have presence of mind sufficient TO
jump out Of the way on receiving the warn
ing of the first collision at the front end Of

fear. or nervousness but simply one Of
speculations that will enter q mans mind
in a moment Of idleness when he is gliding
along III comfort on railroad train. =
"The thought passed away, and the man
took up his newspaper and began to read
with q mind at ease. Not more than five
minutes elapsed, and possibly not three,
when thump and crash were heard which
challenged the attention of every person in
the car, and justified the stopping of the
train for moment to see what had happen

In ninety cases out of hundred, the
successful farmer is. a reading farmer. fla
farmer neglects to keep posted in a;gricul-
tural matter he is bound to fail in most Of
the pursuits incident to the farm. This is
a progressive age. This manner of con-
Quoting a farm in this generation, is as
different as can be from that of our fathers.
1t is only by reading agricultural papers
times in which we live, and the farmer who
does not improve these opportunities had
best ''lay down his shovel and hoe When
agricultural papers and books are banished
from the Threshold of the farmer, the
probability is the farm is running behind
hand.
