Mrs. L1vERMoRE says that the
reason why Massachusetts is no longer
the leader it was formerly, lies in the
fact that her best blood and brains
have left her, and are now busy build
ing up the West. In Iowa, she says,
there are more men and women of
Massachusetts birth, in proportion to
population. than there are in
Massachusetts, and that there are in
the same state more persons of New
England birth, in proportion to pop
ulation, than in any New England
state, and these premises lead her to
believe that she does not risk much in
predicting that the first. state to extend
absolutely equal rights to women will
oe q western state, and that she risks
ess in naming Iowa as that state.

Preparing for Eg in Winter:

Tree-P1anting Suggestions.
Never allow the roots of pines, spruces
or other coniferous trees to become dry
in transplanting, as it will surely kill
them. To avoid this, cover the roots
with straw mats or old cloth in moving
the trees, and when in the field, lay
them on the ground and cover with
moist soil, and only take them from the
soil as you need them. In planting,
place the roots in the holes or trenches
in as natural a manner as possible, and
till in around them with the hand, using
the best soil from the excavation about
the roots. The tree should be planted
to depth it was in the ground before
transplanting. and after the soil has
been worked around the roots, the foot
may be used to compress the soil about
them. Do not puddle in about the
roots with water. as more harm than
good will result. At the season when
trees are to be transplanted there is al
most invariably enough water in the
soil to supply all needs. The best kind
of weather in which to set our stock, is
moist and cloudy, and many claim the
latter half of the day the preferable time;
should it be windy, and the sun shine,
it surely will be better to plant in the
afternoon. AS some trees push their
buds much earlier than others, this
fact should be borne in mind in plant
ing.-Our Country Home.

FROM the reports from the ornitho-
logical branch of the Agricultural Bu-
reau it is pretty well established that
among all the birds of the country the
English sparrow is the greatest crimi-
nal and nearly the only useless bird.
The opinion arrived at is from the ex-
animation of the stomachs of birds,
thousands of which are inspected.
Even the crow and blackbird are given
a fair character and many suspected OF
injurious propensities are found to be
exterminators of injurious worms and
insects, instead of preying upon the
farmer and fruit-grower.

THE OLD WORLD.


British politics. Parnell has been cleverel
than Gladstone, and has got home rule tc
the front, to the apparent disadvantage OF
the Liberals. The ex-premier, when he
found that his Radical allies were jeopar
dizing his canvass by the predominance
they gave to the disestablishment question
made overtures to the Parnellites for CO.
alition. The Irish party had been courted
SO eagerly and we'll by the Conservatives
that the people had generally concluded
that an understanding had been arranged
between them. But such, it now trans
pires, was not the fact. Mr. Parnell had
secured all the promises he desired from the
Tories. He used this fact to induce the
Liberals to offer him some pledges. He
preferred to trade with the Liberal leaders
to trading with those of the Conservative
party, because the former were in a much
better control Of the party than were the
Tory chieftains. But Mr.. Gladstone, fo1
reasons best known to himself, declined to
make the same pledges which the Conserv.
atives had made and offered very evasive
compromise. Parnell thereupon decided to
seal the alliance with the Tories. He felt
himself master of the situation. He calcu
lates upon certain possessions of a secure
balance of power in the next parliament
and feels sure of being able to command
enough Radical votes upon most of the
questions relating to home rule, which may
come up, to give his side of the house
power to pass all reasonable measures re-
lating to Ireland.

Gen. Topalvitch, with the Morava divi

Dragoman, which the Servians attacked or
Sunday. Details of the capture of Drago

divisions attacked the Bulgarians in force
completely routing them. Hordes of Bul

stricken. Several guns were captured anc

AMONG the notable things to be found

and that he was not only prepared, but he
would not have it any other way, as moth
ing but the alternative of prison for life
awaited him, and to him death was prefer
able to that. During the night he addressed
letter to his mother and to his sister, which
touched upon the affection he bore them
He added codicil to his will, specifying
that he desired his body to be laid beside
that of his father in St. Boniface cemetery
at Winnipeg, which request will be carried
out. Pere Andre will go there with Riels
remains within few days. His body was
inferred to-day underneath the scaffold.
He prayed almost continuously during the
night, employing the written prayer Of the
church and then again praying extempore
in both French and English.
There is a divided sentiment in the
Dominion relative to the justice of the
execution but the Englishmen and Orange
men pretty generally endorse it. The
French Catholics are very bitter in de-
nouncing the hanging as a crime and q
murder. A good many who are entirely
dispassionate, opposed the execution on
the ground that he was insane, and that
belief is quite prevalent.
