Meat for the Poor.

It will perhaps surprise some people
to hear that there are still agricultural
villages where the laborers do not taste
"a bite of butchers meat" from one
years end to another. One such village
is High Roding, in Essex, if one may
judge from an interesting letter in last
weeks Guardian. 1t is commonly sup
posed that by the time beef-tea has been
made out of a riece of meat all the
goodness" has gone, and the residue is
generally sold by the London hospitals
at a ridiculously low price to feed pigs.
In fact, however, the extraction of the
beef-tea ~onlyremoves such of the good
ness" as is soluable in water, and the
residue, although 'insipid and not
remarkably digestible," is still Greatly
nutritious" Most people, by the way,
have probably eaten something of the
kind to their cost in the shape Of the
bouiM, which is a standing dish at small
French inns. However, this residue of
beef is highly appreciated down in Essex,
and the first of the laborers who tasted
it exclaimed: "Ah, if I had some of this
every day it would make a new man of
me-" The vicar has now obtained large
consignments of it from some of the
hospitals, and it is eagerly bought by
villages at a price sufficient to repay
the prime charge and the cost of a
rage. What proportion of u agricul-
tural population, one wonders, would be
equally glad to get this husk of meat
| which has hitherto been feeding the
| pigs Pail Mall Gazette.

The Efficacy Of a Trade Dollar.

An italian woman from River Street,
with an unpronounceable name, while
engaged in gathering up cigar butts in
Broad Street, the canal, this morn
ing, was knocked down by a passing
wagon. She was carried into Garrigan's
drug store unconscious. A hasty exam
nation was made, and it was found that
no bones we're broken. The police am
bulance was telephoned for, as it was
feared there might. be internal injuries
or conclusion of the brain. Before the
ambulance could arrive, the driver of the
vehicle which caused the accident, who
had been standing by and expressing his
sorrow at what wa an unavoidable acct.
dent, produced a trade dollar. Instantly
the woman's consciousness returned.
She clutched the coin, vaulted over two
clerks who stood in front of her, shouted
'"Thanka, boss /; no mucha hurta ; gooda

the door, caught up her bag. ran across
Broad Street, down Canal to River
Street, and was home before the aston.
ished clerks could fairly realize what
had happened. -Mew IN ~ Adver.

Old Age.

The whole of life may be divided into
three periods-that of growth, maturity
and decay.
The first is characterized by changes
in substance, size, form, powers and sus-
capabilities.
The second is characterized by fixed
ness. Food no longer grows to growth,
but simply makes good what the system
wastes in its working. 1t is the period
of labor, enterprise and intellectual
mastership over nature.
The third-say from sixty onward-is
the opposite of the first, and would be of
the second, were we not able to carry
along our accumulated treasures of ex-
perience, knowledge, habits and much
of the momentum gained in our best
years. At the best, however, it is one
of increasing decay.
Two facts, '.atrophy"-wasting from
lack of nourishment-and ''degenera.
tion-change of muscular fibre into fat
or lime-explain this decay in the main.
The food may be enough, but the power
to get rid of the waste of the system, and
to replace it with good nerve, muscle,
membranes, heat and strength is less

to throw off carbonic acid yearly

Learn Trades.

Popular education is a proper thing
and should by all legitimate means be
encouraged. But the bitter and sweet
are to be found in all things on earth.
Education at the present day, although
it may not have been pushed to its high
est development, already contains a
gem of evil that is having a more or
less serious effect upon the solid pros
perity of the country, although this is
not the fault actually of our system or of
its development, but rather of a false
idea in regard to labor that education
should not but nevertheless seems to in
culcate.
The boy whose parents al afford to
send him to college learns theories. The
high schools have been brought to such
an elevated standard that the son of the
workingman who is compelled to take
advantage of them for lack of means to
go through college is placed nearly if
not quite upon the same footing. The
result is that generally every college or
high school graduate forsakes the trade
or business of his father. He feels that
he is cut out for a poet, an author. a
preacher or a lawyer. He concludes
that his education has made him too
heightened and too full of brains to
adopt the pursuit of a mechanic.
This is obviously a great mistake.
There are too few men of education who
become mechanics and artisans, and the
country suffers in consequence. Brains
and cultivation are of as great service to
mechanics as they are to professional
men, and it is a mooted question if the
former are not of more benefit to the
general interests of the country than the
latter.
The skilled labor of the country has Of
late years come largely from foreign
sources, for the reason that our young
men of education and ability are fool
ishly ashamed to learn trades. We are
overrun with doctors and lawyers and
poets, but comparatively speaking we
have furnished a very small proportion
of our share of mechanics. The truth OF
the whole matter is that if our young
men would put their blains into trades
this country would be better able to
compete with foreign manufacturers

Hedge Fences.

1t makes but little difference whether
you plant Usage orange or hawthorne
for fencing in your farm. Either n
makes a good fence when properly at
tended to, and neither one makes afence
at all when neglected. The Usage orange
will make a fence in less time than
hawthorn, but it will cost more to keep
it in order, on account of its thrifty
growth, unless you let it take its own
course, as our worthy Cor unworthy
trustees do the n growing on the
burial grounds of III county seat. Said
hedge is twenty-five or thirty feet high,
and where it is thin enough for a cow to
walk through they have put in boards
and nailed them to the stems of the
hedge. That kind of a fence I would
call a nuisance. The nice thing about a
well-set hedge fence is, you always have
a surplus of material, and the brush or
trimmings will always pay to gather and
burn them; whereas, in repairing a rail
fence you must always supply new rails
in place of those that have rotted out.
The hedge fence if taken care of, is an
everlasting fence. 1 eve knew n to
die that was taken care OF. | could
show you hedge fences more than a
hundred years old, and good fences yet
good enough to turn hogs or horses.
I would advise every farm that has a
nice-laying farm to plant hedge fence
for road and line fences. 1t don'tmake
any difference whether it is hard froze,
or wet from the last big rain, you can
trim hedge fence all the same; in fact,
winter is the time to shape up the hedge
fence. With agood hedge fence around
your farm you can rest contented till
morning without being afraid the wind
will blow down the line fence and let
your neighbours stock in your fields of
grain. 1 admit there are other kinds of
fence that can be made quicker and
cheaper than hedge, but they will event.
ually rot out, and then to replace makes
them the most costly of the two. Not
SO with the hedge. 1t starts up every
spring and puts out its leaves and APP
pears to enjoy life with the fresh grass
and growing grain. AS for the hedge
dying out on account of thin soil, it is
out of the question when sod is put
under and subsoil on top; the leaves from
the hedge will keep the soil rich enough.
1 would rather attribute the cause of the
hedge dying to the surplus of stagnant
water poisoning the roots:-Iowa Home.
