A practical farmer who has had large
experience in the use of other machines
says of the Champion:
WACO, Texas, May %, 1884.
Having used and witnessed the
operation of nearly all other kinds of
haryeSters and binders in the market,
can safely say that the Champion Is
more easily handled and does finer work
than any Of its competitors.

Jones sad that he did not call the
IIennepin Canal a local question, but
said that it appealed for support tc
members not upon its own merits
alone, but because it was in company
with a hundred or more other matters
in which most OF the members have q
local or personal interest. lie then
made further explanation as follows
What do say is that legislation
which inaugurates the work on this
canal and which is to cost, as l have
already said, anywhere from five tt
fifteen millions of dollars and puts il
| into q bill which contains more than 1
hundred other appropriations in which
all members. or a large majority Of
! them, are more or less interested, Is
vicious. This means, if it means any
| thing at all, that this appropriation OF
| $4,000 for this Hennepin Canal viii
have to be multiplied by thirty an6
perhaps by fifty before We are through
| with the work. 1t means that in the
next congress the gentlemen from
Rock Island and Davenport, or those
from other cities Interested in the
work, will come here and ask for Other
and much larger appropriations. They
will say, You have fixed upon
this route, you have inaugurated this
work, you have put 100000 into it, anC
now unless you put into it six. ten, Oh
fifteen millions of dollars more, al
that money is to be wasted" We
should meet that question. now. If the
Hennepin Canal is such an enterprise
as the people of this country want tC
enter upon, all right; then let it b
done; but let it not be bound MP witt
the local interests of those gentlemen
who want money for their harbors
and rivers and creeks in every state

car not stand alone, but is leaning
for help upon every section of thi:
long bill of nearly fifty pages.

three proposed routes, and called at

THE FIRST BABY IN CALIFORNIA
1t was on the Fourth of July, and
Townsville celebrated. The stars and
stripes foated from peeled and lofty
pine, and the chorus of the anvil had
re echoed through the hills.
The house was crowded with min
ers-poet, reader and orator had per-
formed their parts, and the recently
organized brass band was giving in
boisterous resonance some national
anthem, when suddenly, there was
heard the feeble wall of an infant;
first low, then swelling out in all the
defiant strength of his baby lungs.
The band put forth Its loudest
strains and the baby, melted to re-
newed exertion, redoubled its vigor.
1t was nip and tuck between the
band and the baby. The young
mother did her best to divert the child
and hush him, when from the audi
ence there uplose brawny miner,
and shaking his fist at the musicians,
he cried: Hush that blamed band,
and give the baby chance !"
The band stopped its playing, and
never did stalwart men listen TO sweet
er music than those exiles from home
and women, as they drank in the tones
Of the wailing child.
The child was hnshed upon its
mothers breast, and at the word there
went up three rousing cheers for the
first baby of the northern Sierras.

TALKERs.-Who does not like to
hear really good talker, whether
in the public room or the private
circle Men may glibly quote the
adage, Speech is silyern, but
silence is golden,' yet it must be
acknowledged that the silent man
is, as a rule, at a great disadvan
tage compared with his neighbor
who can use his tongue well, and
is, as the phrase goes, good COM
pany.'
But how comparatively few are
the takers with whom we can
find no fault! Some are too egotis-
teal, others too censorious. One
man annoys us by being too argu-
mentative; another by asserting
too readily to all that we say, and
thus, anomalous as it may seem,
blocking the road to conversation
by sheer want of obstruction. Then
there are the double tongued talk.

iloquent-all Of whom are ohjec

THE LAME AND THE LAZY. -They are
always provided for, so says the pro-
verb But who provides? Ay, there's
the rub. The men upon whose necks
the incapables hang like millstones,
dragging them often from comfortable
heights to lifelong depths Of discom-
fort, are often eat-hearted workers
whose lives are one grand sacrifice to
the welfare Of others.
If the lame were really disabled,
and the lazy had any excuse for be-
ing so, there would be more show of
Justice in the despotism with which
they exact the devotion of their slaves;
but often they are nearly as well able
as any to partly or wholly provide
for themselves. How common it is
to see a young, perhaps middle-aged
man, using the best years of his life
to support houseful of relatives,
who, if they are women. have had a
rearing too highly genteel to allow
them to earn their own living in the few
ways that are open to their incompe-
tence. Hopes Of the 'little home well
filled and little wife well-willed, "
that maybe haunted the young man 8
dreams when his business life began,
have faded quite away, and he grows
old in the daily grind of the tread
mill, seeing happiness only through
other peoples eyes, and often receiv-
ing less than praise for his self-abne-
cation than reproach that his labors
bring not in larger revenue.

How Much PEOPLE LOSE FOR

How Much PEOPLE LOSE FOR
WANT OF SYsTEM.-1t is astonishing
how much time people lose for
want of system. A girl rises,
dawdles about dressing, gets late
for breakfast, and then the best
part of the day is done.
A young fellow has finished his
work; he idles about with few
friends, and before he knows it, it
is past . o'clock, and the evening
is practically wasted.
Amy quantity of work can be
crammed into lifetime if there is
only organization and application.
No matron or maid, sitting down,
for instance, to make a knitted
Counterpart, could do the whole
at one sitting; but quarter of an
hours work every day would &C.
complish the whole task, long as
it is, in the course of few weeks.
The minutes, too. have an odd
trick of slipping away so swiftly
that, if they are not caught, and
applied to a good purpose they
are wasted in a manner which
leaves the year periodically a
blank.
The young husbands who come
home in the evening and grow
sulky because their wives are I'M
tidy; and the fireplace dirty with
the days ashes, and who are told
by their spouses there has been
$50 much to do" that time for
"tidying up" could not be found,
may make sure that System" is
lacking somewhere.
The heaviest days work can be
got through, either by the fireside
on the wite's part, or out of doors
on the husbands side, if time is
only taken by the torelock, every
thing began early. and every
thing, too, Systematically carr ed
out. Bow Bells.
