up their geese and ducks, but we doubt
the economy of this method. With a
good run they 2aYe a greater variety of
food, and thrive better with an access
to pasture with pond or brook, while
they are receiving full feed for market
All that the fattening animals will eat
clean is a good rule for the last month

af General Grant does not like to travel
on Sunday if he can help it. The other
day General yacter telegraphed to him
in the Catskiil Contains that a Direct
or's car was at ms disposed for trip to
Long Branch on Sunday. General
Grant politely declined it by saying: 81
tried not to travel on Sunday when held
Office, and there does not seem to be any
reasonable excuse for it now"
President Arthur has set n frst-class
example for everybody to follow in the
respect shown to Sunday on his present
tour. He declined to start on sunday,
and his first Sunday Oh the road was
spent quietly at Green River, Wy T.
The observance of Sunday as day of
rest from worldly wear and tear is no less
advantageous physically than it is men
tally and morally, and we are glad to see
the President throwing the influence Of
his example upon the right side. Every
lnroad that is made upon Sunday as a day
of rest is direct reduction of the pro-
workers who abridge its rest. The law
of rest is no less imperative than the law
of work. -Sprinafe1d (Mass.) Union.
The death of Miss Harriet Steer, of
Cincinnati, in her 88th ear, deserves a
notice She was prominent member of
the Society of Friends, and for the past
fifty years had been a good angel TO the
poor. During most of that time it was
her custom every winter to prepare a
huge boiler OF soup on two days of the
week. This she distributed gratuitously
at the door to all who wished or needed
it. Even as late as last winter, though
extremely feeble, she was at her sel<ap-
pointed post as in days gone by. While
others, it may be, have been vainly war
ring over theological distractions, this
unknown woman has been illustrating in
her life the true spirit of the Christian
religion.
THE TARIFF AND THE FARMER
1880 the value of the farm products was
So, 800, 100000, or about 35 per cent. of
the value of the farms Of this 86 per
cent. was marketed at home, and only IA
per cent exported. This home market
was largely due to the manufactures fos-
tered by the protective tariff. But this is
not the only way that the tariff protects
or hel ps the farmer, notwithstanding the
clamor of the free-traders. For the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1882, the amount
of duties collected on imports was $216,-
1896. Of this amount $71, ,S45, 900, or
nearly cne-third, was on agricultural pro-
ducts. These facts are worthy of study,
when free-trader comes around.-In-

HAY FEvER.-I have been afflicted for
twenty years, during the months of Au-
gust and September, with hay fever and
