a saving of $50, 1000 bales American,

that altho sh this crop is one mil

to that of 1879, 1881 and 1888, all

caused by commencing the season
with small stocks, backed up by al
expansion Of trade, and the pros,
poets of crop insufficient to fill
the gaps made by the previous,

that crop of six and half to
seven million bales would be re-
quired to keep prices down to the
average of Cd. per pound next

Privacy in the Home.

There is an important condition of
true household life that we may call
privacy. Every family has a right to
"a certain retiracy, which strangers and
even friends should not disregard.
fThere is freedom of intercourse be-
tween members of one household
which may be prevented if not de-
stroyed, by the frequent presence OF
outsiders. There ought to be hours
and times when visits are an intrusion.
Yet there are some families that are
|never alone and some visitors are so
constant that family life loses all its
Freedom and privacy.
One of the worst results of such in
vasion OF family life is that misunder-
standings and Misrepresentation often
are promoted. A husband land wife
learn to understand each other. So do
parents and children. A stranger may
easily misconceive the spirit in which
something is said or done, and carry
the miscOnceptiOn to others, cOnstru-
ing authority into severity, rebuke into
petulance, pleasantly into diseOurtesy
or fiTmness into harshness.
Again, this intrusion of strangers
brings notions into the family which
are out of harmony with the tcachingi
and laws of the parent; notions Of
fashion and dress, of amusements anC

/ have little fear that the wOodman's
'Ax will destroy all of our forests, how
over active it may be. Timber will
grow if we give it half chance. To
Show what it will do if left to itself
Twill give an example. At "Hill Top
Farm" owned by A. F. Lawrence
kwhere | reside), one mile west of the
Village of st. JOhnsbury, is a few acres
|bf upland that seventy eight years ago
|was cut, burned over and planted to
corn among the logs, Indian fashion,
|that grew n fair crop. 1t was left to
Itself, grew up again to wood, was
|thinned out several times and has now
poo maple trees to the acre, the most
|pf them having been used for a sugar
orchard for twenty three years. 1t is
the most valuable land on the farm.
This shows what our rocky hillsides
will do if left to themselves. Another
Example: Vermont some twenty years
|hgo prohibited cattle running at large
|in the highway. The roadsides have
grown up to wood, and such has been
hts growth that the last legislature re-
|Quired the managers to cut a space
item feet each side of the travelled track
and remove all Overhanging branches
that obstructed travel. The best cul
tivated fields will soon become covered
with wood if left to themselves.-[J JON

"skipped" into another state and left
his respectable sureties to settle with
the sly landlord. They were sued for
the rent under the. lease, and, strange
to say, was subpenaed by the coun-
sci for the owner, more than twenty
times, at fifty cents a time, to go to
court and give testimony that the Ii
9uor-seller had actually occupied the
house and carried on his business
there.
For some time the place stood va
cant, then the sheds came down, the
bar was removed, the house was re-
paired and renewed, and has ever since
been occupied by excellent people and
good neighbors.
Those who have read the story can
understand what it means to shut up n
dram shop. Mine was comparatively
easy case, for had faithful ally in
the captain of police, / had the SYM
pathy of the neighborhood, and had
a weak man to deal with. In many
cases these things are all reversed,
and then the effort is well-nigh hope
less. But it is worth while to make
the effort, and if every clergyman in
New York would secure the closing of
one liquOr-shop every three years, the
would be somewhat reduced.
1t is a practical form of charity, for it
limits the misery and vice of the neigh
bOrhOod. l found it an effective mode
of charity, and in my case, certainly,
charity began at home."-[ Augustus

Be Agreeable at Meals.

Everyone can do something to add
to the social life at the table. If one
can not talk, he can listen or ask ques-
tiOns and draw out others who can
talk. Good listeners are as necessary
as good takers. Never argue at the
table, but tell pleasant stories, relate
or read anecdotes, and look out for the
good of all. Sometimes a single anec-
dote from paper starts conversation
that lasts during the meal-time. The
family table oHght to be bright and
cheerful, sort of domestic altar where
everyone casts down his or her offer
ing, great or small, of pleasantness and
peace where, for at least brief space
in the day, all annoyances are laid
aside, all stormy tempers hushed, all
quarrels healed everyone being glad
and content to sit down at the same
board and eat the same bread and salt,
making it, whether it were a rich re-
past or dinner of herbs, equally a
joyful, almost sacramental meal.

would never allow her daughters to

because of the fact that she could not

what Fast Horses Have Cost Vermont.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune declares that when David Hill
look the famous old Black Hawk stall
ion into Addison county he caused a
Oss in the value of farm property in
n ermOnt equal to a million dollars. He
found Black Hawk in a dray at Lowell,
Mass. 1t would have been better for
\ he state of Vermont if he had never
[Dund him. In the writer's opinion it
fterally demoralized the farmers all
over the state. He says:
"The young fellows won't work the
bid men can't. Those who will work
bave gone off to the West. Those who
5emain care more about fast horses and
pther fast things than about farming.
Lock about at any of the railroad sta
lions and you will see scores of sull<ies
&tanding around. When farmer or
Burners boy gets fast horse the farm
goes to the dogs pretty quick. You
ean't hire farm help even at big prices.
Men have got above it, want to live by
their wits or on what their fathers ac-
eumulated."
The Tribune is inclined to look on
he dark side. Of things these days but
I'VE imagine there may be large meas
pre- of truth in this sort of "hoss" talk.
