prices. Yet even at these the land may
be really cheaper than that said, only be-
cause 1t is so unproductive that the own
er can no longer make living from it.
distinction should, we think, be made
between land naturally fertile and that
which was originally poor and thin. The
former Is apt to be rather out of condi-
ton than really poor, while the latter may
be as thoroughly exhausted as it appears.
Heavy soils are less easily run down TO
poverty than are those of light or sandy
character. When drained and manured
they rapidly recuperate, and may be
made as good as new. A worn out sandy
soil has to be made over from the foun-
dation. It needs the application of veg
etable matter to hold what mineral plant
food may be put in it. The sandy soil is
easier to work, and quickly responds TO
any fertilizer given it, but these advan-
tages are more than Offset by its lack of
permanence.
If farm is heavy soil and undraiuei
it is presumably much richer than its
crop yield will show. The effect of
cropping heavy soil a few years with
out manuring IS to exhaust its vegetable
matter. The moisture that with plenty
" huAuS n6s just cuOuSn IOr &OO0
crops, at once becomes too muoh. The
soil runs into paste when wet, and har-|
dens into brick-like clods when dry. Il
seems hard to the owner that the soil
thus locks from him fertility that he can
net get, but it is real kindness. 1t is
natures protest against wasteful sys-
tenn. All that is needed to unlock these
clods is undertaking. Freezing and
thawlhg, sun and rain, will do
the rest, helped by fall blowing and good
summer cultivation. Doubtless many
farms can be purchased when a compar-
atively small outlay will make them
much more valuable than they are at
present.
The caution most needed to intended
purchasers of land is not to buy too
much. 1t is costly work bringing poor
soil up to the standard of profitable pro-
ductioD. Therefore q considerable part
of the capital on poor farm should be
held in reserve. 1t is tie best security
for enabling the owner to pursue policy
that will improve his farm instead of still
further exhausting it.

of a pistol was heard, followed by cry

just above the knee. In his pain and

To my surprise the men asked to be put
off at some highway crossing, near farm
house, saying that a country doctor
could manage the case we'll enough, and
that the quietness of the country would
be best for the patient. This satisfied me
that they were suspicious haracters, and
assumed the authority to remove the
one and handcuff him to a seat at the
rear Of the coach, and to search both. The
one had a revolver and the other the
deringer, and before I was through
searching brought to light ali the stolen
bonds and jewelry. 1t was sheer luck
again. Four or five men were out on their
trail, but on false scents. They were sup
posed TO have gone East, while I picked
them up in the South. The fellow who
was shot not only lost his leg, but his

The Faith of the Brahmin.


The faith of the enlightened Brahmin
is on very different level from that of
the common people. If you ask concern
ing his own belief he will tell you that
he believes in one God; according to his
particular school he believes that God is
everything, or that He unites with mat
ter to become everything. All proceed
from Him and all effort should be dire,t-
ed to reabsOr ption into Him. Good acts
tend to this result by the gradual purifi-
cation in successive incarnations of
Karma, or the residuun of unconquered
passions and unexpiated sins after death.
Bad acts debase men more and more
"What happens to devil worhippers and
other such out-cast racesf" asked friend
of mine. "They go to hell" was the
prompt reply. Observing my look of as
constituent at the sweeping condemna-
ton, the Brahmin with whom we were
talking took it to indicate doubt of the
accommodation, and fastened to add:
"Oh, we have twenty, thirty, plenty of
hells." SILVA, Vishnu, and the other
gods and goddesses are regarded as en-
bodlments of the various divine attri-
butes or incarnations to reveal the divine
will and to deliver men from evil. Many
Brahmins would acknowledge Christ in
some such way as this. As one said to
me, 81 do not know His history as we'll as
l know my own sacred books, but if what
is told of Him is true I believe that he
must have been a saint if not Divine
incarnation" Another thought that
each race had its own revelation. "We,"
he said, shave Krishna, you have Christ.
You say that your Christ was cruoified-
our Krishna was shot," 1t may be said
that such men as these are not far from
Christianity. On the contrary, the Vice
Chancellor of the Calcutta University
tptly compared contest with them to
the encounter of Ceur de Lion and Sal
adm in the Craftsman" The sharp sword
of the crusader is unavailing to sever a
silken cushion which adapts itself to
every stroke. You ask why, if their own
faith is so elevated, they leave the masses
to Idol worship. Ignorant people and
females" you are told, ''cannot at once
comprehend the universal presence. We
teach them first that God is in the i'm
age-so He is, for He is everywhere
and from that we go on to explain that
He pervades the universe" It is doubtful
If TIE Ignorant people and females"
ever get beyond the first stage. One
Hindu ascetic, with an extraordinary
love of quotation and devotion to Thorn
as a Kempis, cited not only Roman
Catholic arguments, but also Tyndall's
Theory of Atoms" in defense of idol
worship. He demonstrated thereby that
nothing, not even the leg of table, was
Interchangeable; that, therefore, the Divine
efiuence animated all things, and that
the perfectly enlightened mind could see
and worship the Omnipresent as we'll in
that piece of wood as in any other obi ect
visible or invisible.

CRUEL BY CONTRACT

OF all the gables on the globe,
In palaces or novels,
There's not a soul butts got more sense
Than folks we find in novels.
For genuine flat-footed fools,
The record. o they beat it!
When misery won't seek them out
They'll go a mile TO meet it.
Who has heart is bound-in books
Or once or twice to break it;
If trouble don't come ready-made,
He'll set to work to meet it.
Sweethearts may quarrel all for naught.
Aud all for naught will die, too
In books-yet when they might make up
Somehow they never try TO.
When they're so dead in love, that print
Can't make it more explicit;
And joy is right within their reach,
They IL manage Just TO miss it.
Tho they're depicted in cold type,
As either saints or sages,
They potter on like nincompoops
For full two hundred pages.
With pleased alacrity they fall
In every trap the william
Lays for their foolish feet, and put
On pain an extra frillin'.
Right in the middle Of the tale,
When times are getting CORY,
a syllable would set things straight
But then 'twould spoil the story.
When just to stop the agony,
Your last cent you would lend 1t,
The one thing that the novelist
Can't do it for you is-end it.
For why? The wild and weltering woe
OF these poor witless lovers
Must be stretched out until twill stuff
Two good-sized paper covers!

Vegetation on the Congo.

From report to the Belgian consul
general in the Congo state it appears
that the efforts made to introduce Euro,
pean vegetables and fruits in the district
have been rewarded with great success.
The government has imported tobacco
seed from Havana and Sumatra, which
is cultivated in conjunction with native
tobacco. The natives cultivate tobacco
badly, it is said, but efforts are being
made by the government to teach them
better methods. The inhabitants of the
the lower Congo have been very success
full in cultivating not only the usual
African products, such as mauioc, sweet
potatoes, etc but also sorghum, maize,
and the "wsndu" haricot, called "boma"
by the natives. The cotton plant grows in
its wild state, and the natives manufacture
from it hats, wallets, etc.

LOCUST TREE POISON.
Two Horses Owned by Jas. Koran lnbibe To
Much.

MARKAsAN, Wis, June 8-While ,p-
ping at the Lake Maria cemetery Jas.
Koran, of Lake Emily, hitched his tsam
to locust on the grounds. Upon his re-
turn home both horses were taken vio-
emily sick, and were soon suffering with
spasms. By hard work it was possible to
save the life of one, but the other died.
The symptoms were those noticeable in
cases of poisoning, and it is concluded
that the animals mi st have nibbled some
of the locust bark and swallowed it. The
bark of the locust tree is said to be
vi-uient poison at the season when the
sap oozes from the tree.
