OLD MAN ELOQUENT.
Mir. Gladstone Makes Another Great
 Speech.

cPeSSus
 LONDON, December {. At the meeting of the Liberal Federation at Manchester yes. terday q resolution was adopted urging the necessity for prompt settlement of tho question of the establishment of the church in Wales and free education.
 Resolutions were adopted condemuing any land purchase bill for Ireland whicn would entail burden on the British tax payers protesting agatnst the use of British funds to endow sectarian colleges in Ire- land and approving international arbitra- tion It was also declared as the sense of the meeting that the British policy oug ht to be to avoid any entanglement on Con. tinental quarres.
 Mir. Gladstone inspired great enthusiasm into his hearers at Manchester by his definite exposition of the Liberal policy.
 He said Ire and is the leading question of the day, and that the Tories would have teen converted to the Liberal view of the subject by this time but for tho dissident Liberals, The split in the Liberal party, he said, would not have occurred except for the personal ambitions of some Tories and their allies, who desired moro to form national party than to do political justice. He severely arraisaed tho Unionist leaders On this point, and he said that tho plan of campaign was necessary consequence of the governments refusal to grant proper relief to Ireland. There was, he said, less crime in Ireland than England.
 He was of the opnion that tho country had clearly expressed the desire that there should be change in tho administration of Ireland, and the Liberals might look to tho future with confidence.
 He was cheered with great spirit
 Mir Gladstone quoted the recent speech. es of Lord Salisbury and the Marquis of Harrington as evidence that tho Unionist party Is now forming plans in anticipation of a decisive defeat when the time shall come for n general appeal 10 the nation. The only reason for the existence of the dissidents as party is an anti Irish feel ing It was tho curse of their destiny that they were chained to a wheel. They must revolve or stop with it, and could not de. termne things for themselves. They had done much harm, which was perhaps uniu- teptional, and in addition to the unnten. tioual harm they had done some unntention al good. They had promoted the aspirings of Scotland and Wales to definite national recognition. Furthermore they had caused an enormous increase in the rad calism oi tic Liberal party, they had advanced its political position. It behooved them te consider well their position in the light oi the knowledge that with the settlement oi the Irish question they will be extinct as party. He concluded by giving his warm estthanks 10 the comrades who had stood by h, ,m in time of diversity. amounting tt discontinue, batting no tot Of confidence II noble effort on behalf of . generous ant noble people.

Tho Cause of Manv Fires.

A common cause OF fires is in laying
the brick against or on timbers or
ioists; the wood shrinks or the brick
wall settles, making an opening or
crack between the bricks. This crack
is gradually filled with combustible
SCOT from the burning wood, and in
process OF time spark sets 1T on fire.
The remedy is, not to rest any por.
ton OF the chimney, when building it,
on timber or against it, but it should
always be at least some inches away;
and it may be set OIL brick or stone
per built from the cellar up. Another
source OF danger is i'll stovepipcs. Ii
wood is burned in the stove, the lia-
billty is greatly increased, as com.
pared with coal. SCOT partly fills the
pipe and then takes fire, and the
burning SCOT makes the stovepipe red
hot. ii this pipe is within u few inches
OF ioists or partitions the danger is
great. 1t should never be nearer than
one foot,a q greater distance would
be better. II anthracite only is used
in the stove the danger is largely ,li-

Another still greater source OF dan
ger, where the building has shinylc
roof, and where wood is the fuel, Is
from the burning OF the accumulated
SCOT i'll the chimney, causing q strong
current and throwing the burning
lakes OF SCOT and cindcrs out on the
dry shingles. Chinineys should be
swept or burned out on q wet day
regularly. A good plan is to burn

Uses of Mustard.

Mustard is an old friend, whose use,
especially as nn external counter ir-
ritant, is simply wonderful. We know
some physicians are ready to sneer at
it as an cold woman's" remedy, but
certainly the principle it stands for is
one OF the most vital in the whole
realm OF the healing art. Counter IT.
ritation simply acts on the vicarious or
substitutional principle, causing the
to stronger bear the intirmitics OF the
weak. An inflammation on any inter.
nal organ Or tissue, promptly brought

farm FIELD aid FIREsIDE
.Asrlcultura, Itens,

William French OF WestStockbridge,
Mass, according to the "springiel 1
Republican" has good success with
thirty head OF cattle by help OF sowed
corn. "He stacks a number Of
bundles together, and draws it from
the field when wanted; then runs it
through cutting machine and feeds
one bushcl to IL COW twice day, with
middlings."
Now that spring is again approach.
ing, we should begin again to make
arrangements to avoid so far as pos.
sible, the rush OF work which always
comes at that season. Before many
weeks, and before we are scarcely
aware OF it, our snowdriits will have
disappeared, and our earth will be
covered with verdure, and our welcome
migratory singers will have returned
to cheer us in our daily labor.
Effort at saving is not always econ.
omy. Last fall some farmers, rather
than hire their potatoes dug, post
poned the work. A sharp frost came
somewhat early and spoiled the crop
for table'use. 1t would have been q
small tax to hire timely help, rather
than pay from 50 cents to 81 bush
el for the potat oes they use in year.
An Exchange thinks that the nun.
Der OF cattle in the United States has
been greatly decreased and that the
decrease is still going on. OF course
this condition OF things must reach
the bottom alter awhile; and when
the loot OF the hill it reached we shall
begin to 90 mp again. In five years
from now we believe that what seems
to be ut present misfortune will be
looked upon rs capital good luck.

The Car and the Coniurer.

1t is pretty generally understood
that the autocrat of all the Russias
possesses extraordinary physical
strength. OF this he lately furnished
n new proof at the palace ofFredcns-
borg. Alderman conjurcr. Herr Lowe,
was entertaining the guests with
performance of several neatly exc
cuted tricks, and displayed remark
able dcxterity in the manipulation of
IL pack of cards. At the conclusion
of the performance the emperor said
to him that he knew a card trick
which itwould puzzle him to initiate.
Whereupon the ear took Il fresh
pack of tifty-tMo c,lrds and tore it
through the middle with rapid jerk
of his hands.-Kolner Zcitung.

Business Success.

The secret of business success is
wrapped within this simple lesson.
Fortunes are not made, as a rule, in
great enterprises, but by the patient
p!odding in Il narrow circle where lit
tie things govern the outcome of
career. Not the most skilful doctors
have the greatest number of patients,
nor the greatest lawyers the highest
pile of briefs. The most learned
divines do not make the best pastors,
nor stay longest in the parish where
all hearts are bound up in the minis
ter. In none OF the walks of life is
true services for God and humanity
confined to great deeds such as blazon
the pages OF history. Nor is the rec
ord that will finally startlc tile
world with its wonderful rcvcalings
made up chiefly of that which men
call grand and heroic. The story of
the cup of cold water given from the
hand of love to some thirsty life will
glow with richer tints in that unerr-
ing chronicle than many OF The great
benciactions more widely llcraldcd in
earths g;zettcers. What seems to
most men like aliie devoid ofprecious
gifts, will wear in that divincr hue
the lustrc of a glorious meaning,
while much that awc,l the world with
it's glitter will be found at the last to
have been poor, worthless tinsel.
None OF us need to possess all knowl-
edge, or give our bodies to bc burn.
