Poetry and Practical Work.

Charles Sprague, Boston boy, cash
Ter and poet whose fourth-of-July ora
ton has been got by heart by more
than one generation, was indebted for
his intellectual cultivation to his own eff
forts. He began with u common-school
education, which then meant the three
Ks-readiug, 'riling and 'rithmclic. y
But he supplemented those by reading
good books and by the practice Of com
position in prose and poetry
Entering a grOccr'S shop, he worked
up until he had store of his own. Scy-
eral odes he wrote, especallyonc, rccited
at the Shakespeare celebration in Bos-
ton, in 1923, attracted public attention.
He was appointed cashier of the Globe
Bank and held the Office for forty years,
thus showing that literature and banking
may be intimate friends
His Shakespeare ode which has been
greatly admired, contains one passage,
the one descriptive of the murder, which
was a favorlte Of the late James I. Fields.
On mentioning this fact 70 Mr.. Sprague,
he said, 49,

was hoping nobody would come in,
when a man opened the door and asked
for quart of tuiu-oil, Well, sir, filled

The anecdole illustrates that a well
filled and trained mind can do its worl,
amid the most unlayorablc surroundings.

horse that is daily driven ON the road
for ordinary work.
For one week previous TO the start
they need daily exercise, commencing
with eight or ten miles, and gradually
increasing to twenty per day.
This exercise, with appropriate food,
will harden their muscles, strengthen
their limbs and prepare them TO perform
their tasks without giving out on the
road, materially declining in flesh, or

THE BLESSINGS OF PROJECTION.

It must be very pleasant for the farm
ers who are opposed to protective tariff
to be Informed that they are ignorant of
the blessings which that system brings
upon them. They are confidently told
that they forget or are ignorant that the
products of their fields are protected from
foreign competition just as the products of
the mills and FORCES are guarded against
the cheap products of the tspauper labor
of Europe. They are therefore urged TO
stop crying out against protection which
compels them to pay two prices for every
thing they use in the production of their
grain and other agricultural commodities,
and for everything that their daily wants
require.
1t may be possible that farmers are igno-
rant upon some subjects, but one thing
is very apparent TO them, that though
duties are imposed upon some of their pro-
ducts they afford them no protection, un-
less it may be on the single article OF wool.
but IN view of the fact the wool raising has
steadily and enormously decreased since
the tariff was imposed, it is very doubtful
that protective duty has accomplished
any beneficial result in building up that in
dustry
OF what benefit is it to farmers that pro-
hibitory duties are on the great staples,
corn. wheat and other grains, cotton, to-
bacco and provisions of all kinds. of which
this country produces an enormous surplus.
which can only be disposed of to foreign
countries? Our farm ers in these markets

peasants and English farm hands. The

: A little further on Father de Charlevoix
.I would also recommend that all the
passes. except the principal one, be closed.
Nothing would be easier to do than this:
it would simply be necessary to direct into
these passes the floating trees, with which
the surface of the river is covered. The
first result obtained would be that the riv-
er could be entered. venby barges and ca
noes, only by the principal channel, which
would prove an advantage TO the colony
by lessening the danger of surprises; the
second benefit would consist in the fact that
the entire force of the river current being
concentrated, the main channel, above de-
scribed, would dig itself cut, as well as the
bar I base this conjecture on what has
occurred i'm the case of the two Potntes
Coupees of which / have spoken to you.

sity of keeping this channel clear and OF

among the working men of the country is

show how this is accomplished, it would
perhaps, convince the farmers and work
ing men of their ignorance, and would be
better received than the effort to crowd
down their throats an assertion without
proof But they are correct in not under
standing how they or the great mass of the
people can be made prosperous by taxation.

The agriculturists east and west may be
ignorant of the blessings which the tariff
does not bring to them, but they are fully
conscious that the shoe pinches and they
do well to cry out for tariff reform. They
know that 1t is tax they pay when $2S a
ton is levied on steel rails over which their
products are carried. for out of the pro-
ducts of their labor it must be paid. When
they pay a tax of over 100 per cent. on the
wire with which they enclose their fields
they know that it comes out of their earn
ings and that it is not protection to our in
dustries, but bounty To monopolies. The
guise of such blessings is too apparent and

Wednesday, in close proximity TO the tomt

to the theories of Mr.. Darwin as not neces.

religion :. Canon Prothero. at Westminster
Abbey, said Mr.. Darwin had stated with
the utmost modesty that of which he him
self was convinced, although he was aware
that his opinions would not be universally
acceptable. He possessed charity. which
was the true essence of the spirit of Chris
tianity.
At the evening service in Westminster
Abbey, Canon Barry alluded to Mr.. Oar

Experiments have been made on the
Northern railroad in France to test the
light. The result was that objects were
rendered clearly visible at distance of
500 to 600 yards. For 100 yards every
detail of the rails and road-bed could be
distinguished. The position of switches
was easily seen, and it was observed that
the powerful light had not the slightest eff
feet in preventing clear recognition OF
the colors of switch lights and signals.
The speed under which the observations
were made was about 40 miles an hour.
Employees of trains bound in the opposite
direction found no Inconvenience from the
light, except when they looked flxediy at it.

The New Orleans Picaymse has unearth-

It is from the sixth volume of Charlsvoix's

fragment translated is as follows:
"A little below New Orleans the land on
both sides of the Asciss;ppi (sic) begins to
narrow. and this goes on increasing down
to the sea. This tongue of land does not
seem TO be of great antiquity, for water is
met with, by digging TO very little depths,
and the number of battures and small is
lands which have been known to form,
during the past twenty years, AZ all the
mouths of the river, leaves no doubt that
this strip of soil has originated In q similar
