THE ICE CROP.

Taking their cue from. the so far open
winter, the ice men are coming to the front
with their. annual scare, and are going
about the highways talking ominously of
the probable scarcity of freezing weather"
and dropping vague hints about a possible
advance in prices next summer.
To these vendors of CONCEALED water,
however, all winters are alike uniavorable,
so We see nothing unusual about this claim
of the certainty of a short crop.

The Athenwum says Of the late Prot
Henry Fawcett: 1T was when he had an
opportunity of combining the theoretical

c,tt displayed himself at his best He has
rtfuted in a most triumphant way the
general impression that theorist or bust
ness cannot be man OF business, and by
loing this he has effected more good for
political economy than any other man Of
his generation. And in the lesson of his
life he taught most impressively the doctrine
Of lfhelp, which ruled, perhaps too rigidly,
his economic thought. For these qualities,
rather than for his books, he will live in the
History Of the science he represented"
