very poor and such fish are great help

they could not do so without their dogs,
take them away and the majority Of the
hunters could not kill one deer in

them into the water, and as every body

Where Is the Right Of 1t!

Some time ago / saw it proclaimed IN
the press, by authority of a prominent
and influential clergyman. that he did
not favor abstinence from alcoholic
drinks, but. on the contrary, that he
approved their habitual use. 1t seems
to me there must be n right and wrong
as to this matter, and it ought not to be-
difficult to find.
Some time ago q stranger to M and
L were the only occupants of a carriage

mir. Dow, do you Temperance peo-
ple) hold that to drink a glass of wine
is a sin for us?"
I'VE say nothing of that, but this is
our view. An intelligent man must
know something of the sin. shame.
crime, horror, which in this country
come from intemperance. He must
know that intemperance comes from
the drinking habits of society. He
must know, also. that these are upheld
and perpetuated by the example and
influence of the better classes of the
people. For 4 man who knows all this
TO lend the influence of his example to
uphold the customs whence all this
comes. is a mortal sin. We
hold it to be a primary Christian duty
to live that if all the world should

from it. If vi example of total abSti-

We have always supposed that the
farmers of the United States were o
extravaganza in the way of fences than
those of any other country; and while
we still think SO, there appears to be
more money spent on building fences
than is actually necessary in other Iarts
of the world. Prof. Scott, in his recent
book on Farm Fences" in Crest Brit
ain. estimates that for every acre of in
closed land in the United Kingdom
there are over five dollars invested in
fences, and that the annual main.
tenance of these fences costs something
like seventy-ive cents per acre. TAX.
ing these figures in the aggregate. as
applied to the $4,000, 900 scres of in
closed land in the United Kingdom, he
shows the capital invested in fences to
be nearly $3.50, OOO, 900. and the annual
maintenance and repair of these fences
to cost at least $SS, $50. 900. He thinks
that the existing fences might DO dis
pensed with, but don't tell how it Is to
be done, or what can be used in their
stead. The fence question is . very
important one in this country; and
while more fences are probably built
than is actually necessary, we really do
not see how we could get along without
any kind of fence.-M 7. SUM

suit, commodious schOol-hOuses are be-

large to cover all the expenses accruing
from the liquor traffic. In other words.
the money derived from licenses should
be enough to build and maintain nine
