The pedestal being erected on BedlOe's
Island, in New York Bay, for the
Bartholdi statue is not progressing very
rapidly, but the estimates of its cost are
growing day by day. 1t was at first esti-
mated that the pedestal could be built
and the statue placed in position for $780,
600. The committee in charge of the work
has only succeeded in raising $4,000
from all sources, and the work done so
far has cost $4,000. Now they say the
granite alone for the whole structure will
cost $3.50 900, the concrete 1000 more,
and the Toying Of the stone 100000, not to
mention other items Of Importance. The
great increase in the estimates is enough
10 throw suspicion on the managers of the
affair. and contributions to complete the
work will not flow in if the idea gets

mand a clean showing in this business.

FARMING ON CREDIT.

Farming on q credit is subject of over
shadowing Importance to our farmers. The
time-honored system of getting advances
from factors and store-keepers, at time prices,
to the farmers, has kept our farmers poor,
as they have been compelled to devote their
energies mainly to cotton, and often at the
expense of provisions. Necessity admits of
no argument. At first most farmers had to
borrow, to get start; and then their ex-
elusive cotton planting has kept them
Strengthened, and rather increased than re-
lieved their necessities. AS simple mat
ter of business, no person, be he tradesman
or farmer, can pay high rate of interest as
his fundamental expenses. and make his
undertaking pay. His failure will surely
be only question OF time. Farmers mus5
economise, raise their own provisions, and
pay more attention to the rearing of good
stock. Until they do these essential things,
farming will not pay. There are several
firms in the South who make it their busi-
ness to lend money only to farmers upon
the security of first mortgage Oh their farms.
The farmers borrow the money for the Pc
riod of five years, pay down years inter-
est of per cent, and the commission OF
2 per cent. per annum for the five years,
and all costs, &c. These altogether aggre-
gate g. rate OF aDOuC II per Ceut. PeF duuuui /,
a better one than the 40 or so per cent. ex-
torted by store-keepers in the shape of time
prices.
It is true that the money thus borrowed
does buy supplies and phosphate at cash
prices, making great saving at the buying
end; but right here comes in the trouble.
Farmers are induced to borrow more money
than they need and soon will find that they
cannot pay the yearly installments as they
become due, but that the interest is about
all very many of them can pay. And when
the five years have expired, they will have
to borrow again, or be sold out under fore
closure of their mortgages. Some years ago
the Northwestern Life Insurance Company
lent large amount of money upon this plan,
in the South; and the majority of these
loans have since been collected by foreclos-
ure and sale of the farms. 1t has been the
exception where these mortgages have been
redeemed. Judging from the past expert
ence of borrowers in this way, those OF our
farmers who have taken this temporary as
sistance have an ugly outlook before them.
Debt is remorseless tyrant, and we doubt
the benefit of capital that encumbers our
private farms and induces farmers to mort
gage their homes. In our judgment, the
only relief to our farmers from their money
troubles is through economy, self-denial,
and the raising of home supplies.-Er.

HAND WORK AND HEAD WORK.-It mas
been the fashion to separate hand work
from head work as if the two were incom-
patable. One was for laborers and mechan-
les, the other for professional and literary
people; one was for the poor, the other foE
the rich. But we are gradually learning
that their harmonious union is the only
means of the perfection of either: Ruskin
says truly, We want one man to be always
working, and we call one a gentleman and
the other an operator; whereas the work
man ought often to be thinking and the
be gentlemen in the best sense. The mass
of Society is made up of morbid thinkers
and miserable workers. 1t is only by labor
that thought can be made healthy, and only
by thought that labor can be made happy,
and the two cannot be separated with i'm
punity.

CREEPING UP THE STAIRS

CREEPING UP THE STAIRS.
In the soft fading twilight
OF weary, weary day,
With quiet step entered
Where the children were at play;
l was brOOding DER some trouble
Which had met me unawares,
When a little voice came ringing:
''Meis creeping up the stairs"
All! it touched the tenderest heartstrings
With breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened,
AS no wording can define.
And turned to see our darling,
All forgetful of my cares,
When I saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees,
Keeping up constant chattering,
Like magpie in the trees,
Till at last she reached the topmost,
When DER all worlds affairs,
She delighted stood victor
After creeping up the stairs.
Painting heart, behold an image
OF mans brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes must be captured
With a noble, earnest strife;
Onward; upward, reaching ever,
BenQlnS 10 tne Welgnt Ol cdreS,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
We 60 creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet,
By their side may be no rail; :
Hands and knees may often pain us,
And the heart may almost fail;
Still above there is glory
Which no sinfrllnass impairs.
With it Joy and rest forever,
After creeping up the stairs.

TOBACCO AND THE HEART.-The danger
of ftobacco-smoking is manifested, DIR. Troits-
XII thinks, in it's effect upon the action of the
heart. During series of observations he
found in every case, varying according to
the condition of the individual, smoking
produced an acceleration of the pulse-rate
and slight elevation Of temperature. Rep
resenting the temperature of those who do
not smoke by 1000, that of moderate smok-
ers would be 1908, and while the heart in
the former case was making 1000 pulsations,
in the latter it would beat 1880 times.

he wore single eye-glass and carried a di-
minutive rattan cane. AS he stared about

ayes, my darling,"
The little one looked again and giggled,
