AOIOGHAPH WRITING BY DEPUTY.
The popular and pleasing humorist,
Bill Nye, tells how he once grew weary
of answering appeals for his autograph,
or was too busy to attend to them, and
turned the business over to Mrs. Nye,
who wrote much better hand than he
did. All, William, do you remember
in the dawning Of your career when you
received the first letter requesting the
favor of your autograph? Do you re-
call how unexpected it was and how
gratifying? Your eye sparkled with
pleasure and your heart beat high with
hope, for was it not a harbinger of fu-
ture and enduring fame? Was it not
the first robin singing sweetly Of the
spring time that was certain to appear?
How carefully you selected your pen
and note paper, and how many sheets
you spoiled before you had written lines
to accord with the occasion. You were
nervous and your hand trembled some-
what as you appended in characters in
tended to convey subtle humor while
they were bold-"Bill Nye." Then
You sealed it and took it to the postofice
yourself, for fear that it might go
astray. No subsequent appeal for your
autograph affected you as that did, of
course, but the pleasure with which
you perused those requests endured for
quite period. But now in the zenith
of your popularity, when every mail
comes laden with demands for your
noted signature, indifferences ensaes il
not annoyance, and we wouldn't be sur
prised to hear before long that You
delegate your autograph inscribing to
type writer.-Teras Sifti1ags.

and then disentanglins it by a single

and then disentangliny it by a single
pull on one end.
Such are some of the manners and
customs of the quaint, harmless, and
despite their dirt-lovable people,
whose home is among the dreary regions
to the north and south of Hudson's
Straits. They have many admirable
traits o. character. They are wonder
fully patient and enduring in times Of
trial and suffering; honest and intelli-
gent to an unlooked-for degree; per-
fectly fearless in the chase, yet SO
peace-loving in their disposition that
quarrels are almost unknown; hospi-
table, docile, keenly appreciative Of
kindness, and ready to share their last
bite with their white visitors; willing to
work when opportunity offers, and con-
tent with small remuneration. So
many good points, have they, indeed,
that the sad certainty of their gradual
determination is rendered all the sad
der thereby. The most careful esti-
mate of their numbers in the Hudson'a
Straits region at present is 1900, but
this, of course, is only an approxima-
ton, as their own system of counting,
which generally runs "one-two-three-
a great many" renders anything like
an accurate census impossible. Each
year finds their food supply diminish-
ing. thanks mainly to the enterprise of
the whalers and sealers. As the num-
Der of the seals decrease the number
of the Esquimaux must decrease, also
and the end, though it be long delayed.
seems inevitable. -Americam Maya.

NEEDED tEGIstxTIoN.

We all make great deal Of nois
about good ldws, just and wise govern
mient.ana purity and horest5 in the put
lie service; And it is right that we
should insist on these things they are
rights Guaranteed to every American by
bur constitution, It is. we think, Just and
right tina: the farmers Of this country
should look sharpely .to Who admins
ters. the affairs of the goyernment
whether we act in an organized or un-
organized capacity. Just so we insist
en- efficiency, honesty ana economy, it Is
nobody's buiness how it is dcne. We
believe, too that it is right and proper
that the ministers should take a more
active, stand in regard to politics, and
probably it would result IN putting
puter npen in Office.
But there is other legislation that we,
as farmers need much worse than po.
litical legislation, and that 10 legislation
right on the farm at home, Let US
study, the economic situation there, and
Sas what grand opening there is for
re.renchment and reforn. And we can
Il we will effect thsse ref,rms. as there
need.be no ring and NO Opposing faction
to clog the wheels Of good government.
Look and see, wha. we, find. Rotten
fences, no shelter FOR stock, no manure
going to waste, large account tor con a
,nercial fertilizers. corn out, meat to be
bought, sorry stock, land producing only
ten bushels OF corp or "a hundred pount Q
OF lint option To- the acre, and Thousand
other evils needing correction.
Now. let's go 10 work and correct
these evl'ss Let as,make'our own corn
and meat, and the money we thus save
in a single year will be more than our
prorata Of, ALL that has beeni stolen By
corrupt. .oficiales ir the last fifty years.
Build good shelters for stock, and we
will save enough every year TO pay the
whole amount OF our taxes twice.
Spend our idle TINA in winter ,preparir I
compost, and the res,lt, will DO more
beneficial than the repeal Of the pror
tective tariff! Raise the yield of cotton
50 bale and corn TO, forty bushels per
acre. and we will :hus save ononght 10
pay all taxes both direst and indirect
for five years. e
The above assertions Insy seefn ex'
trayagant,4yet for the average farmer
we thoroughly -beAeve them to be true.
We may reform all the balance Of
mankind, yet II wei neglect to reform
our .owDs affairs and methods on the
farm at home. We are tailures at last
