Christian feeling should not hearts instinctycy find
voice in the prayer that the threatened calamity may be

religious crime should be successful For IL is not
merely an attempt against the awful sanctity OF in
diyidual human life, but what is far more against the
choice of the deliberate will OF this great people. The
President is no longer the representative of the party
that may have nominated him. but without distinction
of party or class creed, he represents the
liberties ana the rights of all sanctioned by sacred
law III Is the instinct OF true Christian heart

Beneficial Wild Birds.

At recent meeting Of the Ontario
agricultural commission held al London,
Mr.. William L. Sanders, the well-known
Canadian ornithologist gave an account
of some insectivorOus birds that were
worthy of encouragement He said he
had been engaged in the study Of birds
for the last seven or eight years, and
had examined the crops of probably
about two hundred; Of the birds which
were purely insectivorous, the most
common was the largest family of
warblers, of which the yellow warbler
and the red start mostly took their food
on the wing, but partially on the
branches OF trees; of the birds which
took their food exclusively on the wing
there We're the lly-catchers, which in
cluded the king bird and the peewee;
their food was chiefly flies. Moths were
numerously caught by nighthawks, and
these altogether with the swallows he
considered birds beneficial to the farmer
and fruit-grower. OF the birds which
fed partly on the wing and partly on
trees, the food of the yellow warbler
consisted chiefly of the Larvae and eggs
of moths, which they took from the
leaves of trees; the vireds and cuckoos
were birds Of the same class, and simil-
arly beneficial. The bluebird fed most
ly on insects, though it might take grain
when its fayorite diet was not obtain
able The insects devoured by the last
described class of birds were mostly in
furious to the orchadist and the farmer
The nuthatch, which was a very
common bird, stayed in these latitudes
the year round, and lived almost en-
tirely on insects and their eggs, and
chrysalides. The woodpeckers mostly
took their food upon trees The red
headed variety were generally consider
ed a pest on account of their devouring
so much fruit, chiefly cherries and APP

Education,


Education, in its broadcst sense, is
undoubtedly the main business of youth.
Theirs is the preparation for future
life of action. But we are too apt to
regard school and study rs the whole of
education, whereas it is but part, and
is valuable only as it is made to contrib
ute to the general fund Often the very
best way TO prepare to do anything is
gained chiefly by continued eXersice in
it. As life consists largely of work, it
would seem to be the path of wisdom to
accustom the boy and the girl to take
some regular share in it suitable to
their years, that they may not, upon
entering its real business, stand aghast
and overwhelmed by the multitude of
claims efficiency in action and noble
ness of character; and the acquisition
of knowledge, though important as one
means, can never, by itself, produce
either of these. 1t must be vitalised by
individual thought and utilized by per-
sonal action before it can put real value
into ones life or produce anything like
an abundant harvest. These processes
should 20 on simultaneously.

maws of the robin he had very little to
say in his favor, rs they were very de-
structive to cherries and other fruits,
and ate very few insects-chiehy cole
optera-and then only when it could
not get fruit the cat bird was allied to
the robin, and like it was destructive to
raspberries; the tawny and the brown
thrushes were almost exclusively in
sectivorous. The food of the blackbrd
family-which included the red-winged
blackhird the crow blackbird, the COW
bird, tns meadow lark, and the oriolc-
consisted largely of beetles and Larvae;
the crow blackbird, however, lived
almost entirely on grain; while the COW
bird, like the European cuckoo, was
decidedly injurious by laying its eggs
in the nest of other and beneficial birds,
whose young were generally starved to
death, owing to the greater size and
more clamorous appitite of the intrud
ing BROOD the red-winged blaclibird
fed on the Larvae of beetles in the spring,
but in the fall it deyoured grain.
About 20 per cent of the food of the
meadow lark consisted of beetles and
other insects, the remainder being
vegetable food, but OF wha! kind he had
been unable to ascertain. The Bathurne
orole was beneficial to the farmer.
The sparrow were all pretty much grain
feeders, though the grey bird or chip
ping sparrow fed largely on insects.
Our variety, the purple finch devoured
the buds of trees, and was injurious on
that account, The indigo bird fed
mostly on the seeds of grass and weeds.
The English sparrow seemed to feed
about equally on seeds ard insects, but
he had not examined their stomachs.

How to Sweep and Dust.

To sweep and dust room properly
is an art, and like all fine arts has o
right method Well done, it renoyates
the whole room, and the occupant takes
possession feeling "that all things have
become new 1t is not merely per-
Torrance to be done by the hands, but
u work into which taste and judgment
in other words, brains-must enter.
Are these closets opening into room
to be swept? Arrange the shelves,
drawers or clothing preparatory to
sweeping day. then let this be the first
to be swept. Cover the bed with soiled
sheets, as also all heavy articles that
cannot be removed; first, however, hay
ing carefully brushed and busted them.
Remove all the furniture that can easily
be set in the hall or adjoining room,
having first busted it; then take a step
ladder, begin to sweep, or dust, or wipe
the cornice and picture cords and pic
lures. Draw the shades to the top of
the window, or if there are inside blinds,
dust them carefully. Open the win
dows. All the dust left in the room
now is in the air, and the windows will
soon settle it.
Now begin to sweep, not towards a
door or corner, but from the outer edge
of the room toward the center, where
the dust will be taken up with a small
brush or dust pan. Go over the room
once more; this time with dampcncd
broom; that removes the last bit of dust,
and it gives the carpet new, bright
appearance. Replace the articles of
furniture as soon as the air is entirely
free from dust, uncover the rest, and
the room is new and clean. All this
seems an easy thing to do, but there is
not one in hundred will follow out the
detail. Some will sweep the dust into
the hall, or from one room into another,
and then wonder why their house is so
dusty again. Others forget cornce and
pictures, and thus leave a seed of future
annoyance; while third class will do
all but using the damp broom, which is
as the finishing touches to n picture.

What he Brought Home.
Wha
Burdette1

Burdettel
Mr.. Setemup came down stairs to a 10
o'clock breakfast with II vacant coun-
tenance and a backward tendency in
his hair that made his two eyes ache.
He sat down at the table, and, picking
up his knife and fork, glared in uneasy
wonder at something in the platter be-
fore him. 1t had evidently been fried
in butter, and was intended for food.
Mr.. Setemup harpooned it with his fork
and lifted it up boldly, gazing at it
with ever increasing wonder. "What,
under the sum-" he exclaimed at last,
sis this thingP" "Well, replied his
patient wife,with just shadow of a
sigh, "it looks like your new soft felt
hat, and that is what thought it was;
but you pnlled it out Of your pocket
when you came home this morning and
said it was nice porterhouse steak, and
you wanted it broiled for breakfast,
You needn't give me any Of it; I'm not
hungry" And Mr. Setemup, who was
just wild to know what else he said
when he came home, and what time it
was, for the life of him didn't dare to
ask.

Good Cattle.
Rural New Yorker.

Kural new Yorker,
Good cattle are the best investment a
farmer can put his money into. | never
knew man satisfied with himself or
his trade, who bought poor stock, at
any price, to keep. Good Short horns,
HerefordS, Jerseys, Ayrshires or Hol-
stems are cheap at high figures. They
produce the best beef, milk, butter,
cheese, leather 1t is extremely neces-
sary to profit that the farmer buy
healthy, thrifty, high bred animals,
those that produce or are capable OF
producing the most of these products.
The next thing after good blood, is
good feed and then good care. Breed,
feed and care are thrce-thirds Of good
cattle husbandry. Good breeds amount
to nothing without proper and abund-
ant food They amount to but little
with proper and abundant feed if not
properly sheltered and cared for. They
must have suitable pastures and soils,
and the surface of the country must be
adapted to their constitutions. The
Short-horn and Hereford are out of
place on broken pasturage and billy
ranges; the Ayrshire, Devon and Jer-
sey are there at home. The Holstein
delights in rich alluvial meads and sue
culent bottom lands. Good cattle are
necessary adjunct to good farming
everywhere and always accompany it.
The introduction of good stock into any
farming community always has a good
effect by stimulating to better effort and
better feeding, 1t places higher
standard before the farming public. 1t
eXcites favorable emulation that works
good to all beneath its influence. Good
cattle are the highest type of agricul-
ture
