which she took it, persuades herself that she

The Importance of Local History.

"Gath" says in one Of his letters: "Local
history indeed is the true and genuine his
tory of the United States Any old trim.
mer can generalize on large facts, but the
industry and consciousness which animate
the local historian bring out the really i'm
portant things of the past" / recalled this
sentiment when gentleman from an in
terror town tod me few days ago that he
was arranging to organize a local historian
society in his place
Said he: "There are great many his
torical facts connected with my town and
county that are we'll worth preserving We
mean to gather these up, make permanent
record of them and keep them from being
forgotten l have always myself been in
terested in work and associations of this
kind, and there are several other people in
the place who have similar tastes. Besides
doing a good work for the community in
which we live, We expect to find a large
amount of pleasure in hunting up these his
torical facts, discussing their value, authen-
ITCHY, etc., and putting them in shape for
permanent preservation" This is a line of
work which could be taken up with pleasure
and profit in every town in this country.
It may not seem to be very large or impor-
tant work at first thought, but as Gath we'll
says, it is this local history that is true and
genuine because those who gather up tho
facts are right on the ground, and, having
a narrow field, can CLEAN it thoroughly

YOUR HANDSOME EYES.
Eeur handsome eyes and fair, round face

Ecur handsome eyes and fair, round face
Half-open lips and the roguish smile
That lies at the corners and turks awhile,
Then leaps with a flash from its hiding place
Over the cheek, as if over stile
That separates two fair fields a-pace,
Then under the eyelids leaves its trace
These are meant for the sports of girls,
To whet and sharpen their wiles upon;
And, when they weary, and youth Is
gone,
And they flaunt away with their golden
curls,
And you to the forum, worn and wan,
Mount and preach, till the sick brain whirls,
OF the wicked ways of those beautiful girls.
Then they are meant for that sadder time
That comes when youth is dead to the
sweet
And tramples it under its harsh, hard
feet,
And the man girds up his loins to climb,
Through envious brambles alone, amid
sleeG
And the wind and rain and the cool gray
rime,
For what he deems are the heights sublime

WHERE FARMING DOESN'T PAY.

A Curious and Alarming State of Things
Across tho Ocean.
It seems now to be settled that under ex-
listing conditions it does not pay to grow
grain or raise cattle in the best part of the
continent and the British isles For this
curious and alarming state OF things the
world is indebted to the extension of steam
navigation to all parts of the earth. Wheat,
barley, oats, ETC., can be grown on almost
any arabic land. 1t follows that wherever
the factors are most favorable that region
gets the benefit of this cheap access to the
consuming market A few years ago India
contributed but ~, ,0G0 bushels Of wheat to
countries outside OF the Peninsula Its ex-
port supply is now about 5O,OUO,OOo Of
bushels, and with the extension of the rail-
way system it will have fully lou, O,0OO, ,OOo for
outside consumption
The secret Of India's ability to sell in dis
tant markets is the extraordinary cheap
ness of labor, which does not command
more than 10 cents a day of our money.
The United States Australia, and New
Zealand can produce wheat and lay it down
in Liverpool at price which is simply
ruinous to the English and European
wheat-grower. This is because of cheaper
and more fertile lands and the use
of machinery on the broad pralries
and plains, which dispenses with costly Ia
bor. Recent statistics show that tenant
farmers in the British islands who con6ne
themselves to cereals and cattle-raising can
not make both ends meet if they undertake
to pay their rent This accounts for the
distress among the agricultural classes in
the Old World, and moro especially for the
object misery of the Irish people, who have
no diversified industries, because the island
Is without coal or iron, and British laws
discourage manufactures OF any kind in
that unhappy country.
This inability to raise grain is effecting
social revolution. 1t has struck a fatal blow
at the authority and prestige Of the peers,
who are the great landowners, and it will
end in agricultural land being transferred
to the peasants, in England and Scotland,
as well as Ireland These agricultural
workers, having no rents to pay, will be
be able to make living out of the soil, for
they can raise perishabie vegetable, poultry,
eggs and dairy products, as these are safe
from foreign competition. In the mean
time the cities of Europe are growing rap
idly and are yearly consuming more and
more. not only of the grain and cattle raised
in distant regions, but also Of the vegeta-
bles poultry, fruit and dairy products OF
nearby production This explanation OF
the agricultural situation throws good
deal Of light upon the political and social
changes now taking place in the Old World
