The passage of years does nothing to solve
conclusiyely the mystery hanging over the
death of Cashier Barron of Dexter The
theory that he committed suicide was con-
demned at the Congregational conference at
Bath Wednesday as an ''emanation from the
internal pit" and this condemnation was
not only approved by some of the most emf
nent divines in the State. butIthe money was
then and there raised to complete the Bar
ron memorial church at Dexter. In doing
this the friends of the unfortunate man but
assert belief which is held by large por-
ton of the people of Maine. Others hold as
tenaciously to.an opposite opinion, and there
seems little hope that the great mystery will
ever be solved satisfactorily. The tribute
paid by the Congregationalists at Bath is a
happy proof that one unexplained affair can
not put to naught years of blameless life.

England is letting the Canadians down
easily, but it is letting them down all the
same. Hereafter no seizures of American
vessels are to be permitted except on au-
thority of the Dominion ministry. The To-
cal customs authorities are to be shorn of
the power which they exercised in the case
of the Adams and the Doughty, and the
commanders of the cruisers have been in
structed to give warning to American vessels
which are caught infringing upon the treaty,
to give them twenty-four hours. to repent,
and not seize them unless they persist in VIC
lating the treaty. Practically this amounts
to permission to buy all the bait they want,
ssnd also to fish within the three mile limit
for twenty-four hours.
Morris tribune., 1886-10-06

1t is perhaps wisely, claimed that
an education which touches the men
tai faculties alone may be capable Of
doing immense damage. 1t has been
charged against American educa-
tional methods that their tendecy is
to produce discomfort among those
who were born in poverty, and in
some respects the charge is true. We
want always an education Of the heart
as we'll as an education of the head.
We want also an education of the
hands. Under the American plan Of
government the church and the home
must be depended upon very largely
to instill religious principles into the
young, though there Is no reason why
the state should not teach religion I'M
mixed with sectarianism. But unless
the home and the church can hold
the young there is little probability
that the state will be able to do much
for them in religious way. The one
defect in the present methods of train-
ing is the lack ofindustrial education.
The state should teach it's young
people to use their hands. Three
fourths of the inmates Of our prisons
are persons who have never been
taught trade. They come from the
ranks of the rich as we'll as the poor,
but they have one thing in common
they do not know how to use their
hands. Parental folly or parental in
difference has handicapped them for
life. In self-protection the state
should provide means by which this
evil of omission may be remedisd.
Industrial schools would be much
cheaper in the end than prisons and
penitentiaries. A little less grammar
and geography, even little less al
zebra and geometry and little
practical knowledge of tools would be
better for the young people and better
for the community. In all our towns
and cities there should be attached to
the common schools a workshop, in
the charge of a practical mechanic,
where our boys might attain aknowl-
edge of tools and their uses. The
primal knowledge Of mechanics,
learned in this way, like our earliest
lessons In all else, will rarely, If ever,
be forgotten.-Iron.

The laborer in civilized countries
now earns more money than he ever
before earned, and the things which
he requires for his comfort and his
pleasure cost less than at any former
period since the creation. If work
ingmen would only read history,
they would find much to induce them
to greater eontentment. There was
not in the British Islands, three hun
dred years ago, a dwelling house that
would compare in comfort with any
one of the tens of thousands of excel
lent homes owned in this country to-
day by men who earn ten or twelve
dollars week. Such a man has
articles of furniture, clothing, books,
newspapers, musical instruments, OPP
portunities of cheap conveyance,
chances for free education, and hum
dreds of other blessings which nobody
had two centuries ago, which the
richest could hardly procure one GEN.
fury ago, and all of which have tended
to make laborers more comfortable,
happier and healthier, and within
easier reach even of wealth.

DIR. Carpenters Social Qualities.

Arduously rs DR.. Carpenter was en-
paped in scientific research, he found
time to make himself useful and appre-
ciated in public and social life He
took pleasure in making science intelli-
gible to the public, and for this purpose.ac-
cepted part in the management of the
Gilchrist trust for popular lectures, and
delivered lectures in the Gilchrist and
Swiney courses His articles on the
zoetrope and other similar toys, in the
intellectual Observer" are commended
for their clearness, and the same quality
of STYLE contributed very largely to make
his physiological treatises popular. He
took the highest interest i'll social ques-
tons, and was always glad to throw the
light of scientific knowledge upon them.
He was quick to perceive the evils of in
diligence in intoxicating liquors, became
an advocate of total abstinence, and
lectured on temperance. while he after
ward concluded that there was legiti-
mate use for wine. Upon DIR. Ray Lam
kester, who knew him from his own
>boyhood, che always produced the most
vivid impression of man OF lndomit-
able energy, who had accepted as the
highest duty and keenest duty of his life
the promotion, whether by advocacy or
by research, of true knowledge" mo
man of science DR.. Lancaster says in
another notice of him, "could witness
without respect and sympathy the ardent
devotion of the veteran naturalist to the
cause of scientific progress, and the
earnest simplicity of his character"
Whatever he said when his researches
were the subject of conversation "was
admirable, and his willingness to meet
fairly an antagonist was no less indicat-
i've of the true, singleshearted man of
science than the almost boyish eager
ness with which he would rush into the
fray" -From "Sketch Of DR.. ". B.
Carpenter" in Popular Science Monthly
for February.

A Story to Tell Foreigners.

Il suppose you never heard of burn
ing snow for fuel, did your" said man
who is in Omaha talking up iron-works,
as he leaned across the corner of the bar
at the Paxton the other night and
chewed refectively on piece Of lemon
rind he had fished out of the bottom of
a glass. "Well, it's fact. I live in
Pittsburg, you know, and in the winter,
when it gets mighty cold-and seems to
me it gets colder there at the same de-
gree of temperature than any other
place ! have ever been-but, as / was
saying, when it gets mighty cold there
and there's heavy fall Of snow, you
can see poor people out all over the city
with baskets the next day, gathering
blocks of snow to burn. You see there's
SO much coal smoke from the great iron
furnaces in Pittsburg that when the
snow reaches the ground it's almost
black, and there's really more coal Gin
ders than snow. 1t burns almost as
well as soft coal, and great deal of
suffering among the poor is thus pre-
vented. That's another great argument
in favor Of iron-works." And he called
for another piece of lemon in the bot
tom of glass. Omaha Bee.

Rev. Farther James McGolrick, of
Minneapolis, is taking an active in
terest IN politics, and has been severe
ly criticised for so doing. In answer
to those who have criticised. Father
McGolrick said in last Sundays
sermon: "Who has better right
than your pastor to advise you about
these things?" Who indeed? If it
is not a Christian minister's business
as custodian of the morals OF his flock
to give advice on the moral issues
that come up from day to day in their
lives, what is his business? If it so
happens that in defining what is
morally right or morally wrong, the
minister comes into antagonism with
some man who holds, or seeks to hold
political place, docs that alter the
| case?
The Evening Journal, of Minnsapo-
lis, comments upon this reply and
adds: Father McGolrick has gained
his large influence among the Catho-
lies of Minneapolis and the state by
his fearless and mastery assaults up
on existing evils. He has not been
above interesting himself in present
| and tangible things. He found the
sin of intemperance growing rank in
Minnesota and he attacked it-with
what marked results Is q matter of
public knowledge. Today he finds q
city governed in manner notorious
ly corrupt, the "wide-openness" of
whose administration is fast becom-
ing advertised throughout the state
and the Northwest. Iras teacher
and corrector of public morals, he at
tacks this state Of things can any one
justly claim that he is going beyond
| his function?"

We are assured by prominent
farmer of Mcleod county that many
farmers do not clean the grain al they
should before offering it for sale, and
as consequence all have to suffer for
it. He says it 10 usually taken from
the thre.hing machine to the granary,
thence to market just as it came from
the machine. He thinks an easy and
certain way for farmers to make more
money would be to more thoroughly
clean their grain. The least chaff or
dust affords an excellent excuse to the
buyers not only to lessen the price but
the grade. thus paying less for the
product than is warranted even by
actual condition. The best way IL
not to give the buyers chance to dc
any docking.-Farm Stock and Home

quires but small sum of money to

to expend portion of the money re-

out at interest, or leave 1t to the

has no futher use for it. Lord Erskine,
