Canada Thistle Rust.
lex g.

Professor Arthur, of the New York
experiment station, mentions the rust
on the Canada thistle as one of the few
instances in which fungi are beneficial,
by preying upon noxious plants. 1t
pervades the whole plant, pro ucing its
spores chiefly on the under surface of
the leaves. 1t is a voracious feeder.
and the thistle is much weakened by r.
preventing it from setting seed. When
a thistle Is seen infested with this rust
which may be known by the brown
spores which thickly clothe the under
surface OF the leaves, it should be al
lowed to stand, so as to spread the dis.
ease. 1t lives on no other plant. 1t

A writer in The Overland Monthly
gives some interesting facts regarding
the free public libraries of the country.
He calculates that there are now in the
land about 5000 public libraries of 3
volumes or more, containing, in the ag
gregate, at least 10, 900, 900 books, and
maintained at an annual cost of not less
than 81, 500, 900. All these libraries are
not entirely free, but a considerable por-
ton of them are.
The writer holds that the essential
principles on which a public library
should be conducted are three, viz: It
y a parlor and not a bar room; it is to
furnish good books, not bad ones; the
Books should be kept in the best possible
condition for the longest possible term
of use. van

FARM WORK FOR DECEMBER.

Work for December may be divid.
ed into two kinds. On the one hand,
we haye to care for and make the
best use of the fruits of the earth as
harvested, together with the indi
rect fruits of the harvest in live stock
products, while on the other hand,
we plan and labor for future results.
The month closes our record for the
calendar year, and as the days shor.
ten, we are naturally given time for
less labor, and more opportunity for
reflection. Let us attribute bounti-
full crops, and full stables, and pens
of healthy stock, to favorable seasons
and the over.ruling care of a bene-
ticent Providence aud short crops,
ill-conditioned live stock, wormy APP
pies, musty hay, small potatoes and
few in the hill, to u own ignorance
of the laws of Nature, bad Judgment
or positive neglect, and resolve to do
better next time. The least we can
any of us do is to live up to the light
we have, and seek for more. The
world is making progress all the time.
Those who do not keep up, are left
behind in the race. Improved ami
mails, greater speed, more milk, more
butter, more economical work, wool,
mutton, poultry, and eggs; better,
harder, more prolific fruits, more
beautiful flowers, more delicious and
varied productS-all these worthy
objects, thousands and thousands
are striving after.

People generally, ami even
those who may be termed steady
readers and close observers, have
but a faint concept on Of the mag
nitude and influence the press of
this country has attained. From a
careful examination of the advance
pages of the 1885 edition of the
American Newspaper Directory,
issued May 1st, by Geo. p. Row-
ell & Co., New York, it appears
that there are IA, ,147 newspapers
and periodicals published in the
United States and Canada of these
the United States has 1898, an
average of one paper for every
3, SCI persons In 1884 the total
number of newspapers was less by
S23 than at present, while the
gain this year is not 30 marked as
some previous years, it is still con-
siderable. Kansas shows the
greatest increase, the number being
IS, while illinois follows with a
gain OF II. 1t is curious to no
tice that New York, the scene OF
so mnch political activity during
the last campaign, should have
only about one third as many new
papers as the State of Pennsyl-
vania. AS an index to the COM
paritive growth and prosperity
of different sections of the country,
especially in the Territories, the
number OF new papers forms an
interesting study, and may well
occupy the attention of the curl

l. To the victOrs Belong the spOils.

10 the NlcLors Belong the Spots.
1t is well to fix the historical
point at which this phrase origin
ated. Its author was William l..
Marcy, Of New York, one of the
statesmen in the democratic party
in the Jacksonian prime of is
years, and at the most vigorous
and aggressive stage of its exist
anOe. After serving in the War
of 1912, filling some minor offices
at Troy, N. Y, occupying a seat in
the Legislature and also Oh the
State Supreme bench, he was in
1881 elected a member of the
United States Senate. He remain
ed member OF that body for a
single year only, having been
elected Governor Of New Y ork in
1882.
General jackson was the first
President who made sweeping
change in the Federal offices
wherever he found thcU occupied
by adherents of the party hostile
to his administration. The gen
eral ostracism Of his political OPP
ponents created ciamor0us pro
test from the Wings and from all
independent and non-partisan po,
litical thinkers. As one of the
ablest debaters and most respect
able representatives OF the Jackson
Democracy, Mr.. Marcy defended
the presidents policy. In the
course of his speech he said
1t may be that the politicians of
New York are not so tastidious as
some gentlemen are, as to discloS-
ing the principles upon which they
act. They boldly preach what
they practice. When they are CON
tending tor victory, they advo-
their intention Of enjoying the
fruits of it. If they are defeated
they expect to retire from office.
If they are successful, they claim as
a matter of right, the advantages
of success. They see nothing
wrong in the rule that to the vic
tor belongs the spoils Of the
enemy.
On what philosophy is the
principle indicated oased1 An
swer 1t is that Of warfare, not OF
peace; ;of spoliation, not of restor
alton of plunder, not of industry ;
of siezure by force, rot lawful in
heritance and possession.
The opposite OF all this is civil
service reform. The principle on
which this reform is based is, that
the people and not party are the
proprictors ofthe offices that offices
should be divorced from politics
that, if a man is honest and capable
the appointing power has no busi
ness to inquire as to what power
enjoys his allegiance. This is the
only system on which the affairs
Of the Government can be honst
ly and efficiently administered.
