How many farmers at the close OF
the years operations, can tell when
branch of the farming paid them the
most money? Very few, compared
with the great number. They may
think they know, but their ideas upon
this point are indefinite. There Is no
certainty except in figures. Guess
| work Is rs liable TO be Oh the wrong
side as on the right side. The merch-
ant does not guess at the amount OF
his years profits and the amount and
value of stock on hand. The mech
auic and the manufacturer do not cal
culate upon such All uncertain basis.
Their methodically kept books tell in
a moment every day i'll the year how
their business affairs stand. Farm
ing is q business as much us any other
occupation or profession, and as such

pies. The farmers should know to Il

and its market value. He should al

realized therefrom. This system
should not be confined to growing
crops; it should extend to every
branch on the farm. This will inform
him which branch of husbandry pays
him the best. He can then abandon
those branches which he finds to be
Improbable and concentrate his ener'
gies elsewhere. If asked which
branch of farming yields the largest
profit, the farmer should be able tt
give ready aud satisfactory answer
He should be able to giTe the reason
why, whether it is due to the nature
of the soil, the climate, or the marke
facilities. If his answer is: II dunno

II Crumoief Away.

1t was in 1866 that Princess Alice at
her own request, became acquainted
with the famous David Frederick
Strauss. He lived at DarmStadt for
four years, during which time he had
frequent intercourse with the Princess,
and read to her his letters on Voltaire.
Much as ii may be regretted that the
influence of Strauss should have been
brought TO bear upon her, no one can
help lmiring the courage with which
she faced the difficulties to which his
teachings gave rise, especially when one
considers with what reluctance and
distress she must have allowed his opIn-
Ions to influence her mind. In the
sharp conflict with the most sacred tra-
ditions of her youth. she did not shrink
from accepting the dedication OF MS
work on Voltaire. No doubt there Is
a nOnJbelieving attitude which is easier
to take up in the every day life than
the believing one. 1t is far less trouble,
it is more tiattering to ones power of
discernment, not to believe thing than
to believe 1t Wien Stephenson first
prophesied before committee OF the
House Of Commons the rate at which
steam could conquer time and space,
the men who laughed him to scOrn pro-
badly felt much cleverer than those
VINO believed HIM. 1t was in no such
spirit that Princess Alice listened TO
Strauss-''she had to wrestle heart and
soul with theoretical doubt" and il
was not until the spring of 1873 that light
came back to her through darkness.
She had just returned from her Italian
trip, into which she had thrown her
self with true enjoyment. and was ST II
resting after the fatigue Of the long
journey. The two little princes had
been playing by her sofa: Prince Ernst
ran into the next room, followed by the
Princess. and in her brief absence
Prince Fritz fell out of the window
upon the stone pavement below. One
moment in the most vivid radient life
and health, the next he lay senseless
aud crushed. He died few hours
later in his mothers arms. In her
agony she sounded, as 1t wsre, for the
first time the depths Of skepticism- She
searched In vain through the various
systems of philosophy, but found no

transformation that was going on
within, but slowly. silently, and surely
faith returned to her, never again to
falter. "The whole evidence OF philos-
optical conclusions which l had built
up for myself, find to have no fOunda-
tion Understanding OF II Is left-it
has crumbled away like dust. What
shOuId We be. what would become of us
il we had nO faith-if we did not believe
that there is God who rules the world

Valuable Addition to History.

A valuable addition to New Hanp,
shire history has just been uuearthed iu
the shape OF George il's writ OF prIyy
seal settling the old boundary dispute
between Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire This parchment, dated
back to 174T which had lain undisturb.
ed in the old chest in the Portsmouth
Atheneum over sixty years, was recent
ly found by an old antiquarian of the
Bostonian society, and will soon be put
in its proper place among the state arc
hives. The document is chiefly i'm
portant as marking the first step toward
the severance Of the two provinces Of
Massachusetts, aud New Hampshire,
and as well toward the establishment
of New Hampshire as a separate pro
yincial government. In this latter res
pect it is more interesting 10 Granite
state folks than TO those of Mdssdchu-
sets, for it recalls the fact that in the
final decision il the boundary matter in
England, despite much wire pulling on
this side OF the ocean in the early
stages OF the matter, New Hdmp
shire had been given several hundred
thousand acres more than sue had even
claimed. In Itself, too. the old paper
is of interest as an example of engrdyeT
and scrivener WORK on official record
in those days. The well-preSeryed
state in which it has remained leaves
the text clear and leglble. IL IS eu-
crossed in old English in the neatest
manner, a marvel Of patient execution.

AT the close of one OF his speeches,
delivered at a public meeting, a reporter

he had spoken so rapidly that no Short

Macaulay said he would think of it.

But these important passages must be
so dove-tailed that the audience cannot

can so Introduce a prepared paragraph

he has not acquired the art which con-
