is u question that has been often asked, and
various answers have been given to it. and
IL is q lamentabie fact, that IL four hftbs OF
the farmers were to base their answers on
their own past experience, the universal
cry would be heard and echoed from hill
aud dale, that it does not. There are few,
however, who can answer to the contrary.
The general conclusion now is that farm
ing will pay, only when II is made to pay,
and that the secret Of success is Gin the
man, and not in the land" Before maxi
mum returns can be looked for, there must
of necessity be change in the modus

ETA JANE, July 23.--The weather for the

farmers are getting through with their work.

the cosn tops will scarcely be above the

to stop its further progress. This can
only be done by prohibiting by law, as
in some other countries, the use of ar

by making the manufacturer snswerar

Assafetida is a gum resin which
many men will remember to have used
with their bait, when boys, thinking
that it gave the worms an unwonted
attraction for fish. Certainly, consid-
eriug the strength Of its odor. their
conclusion was not so very far-fetched.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that, while the smell OF assafHtida
is very nauseating to us, the Asiatics
use it in food as spice, showing GER
tainly '.that there is no accounting for
taste" The Germans give to assa-
foetida the name stinkasant, which is
certainly expressive. This drug was
once quite popular with physicians,
but at the present day its use is largely
confined to those of the ''old school. y
1t was believed to be specially service
able in nervous diseases. That it also
has a good effect in fatulence can
scarcely be denied. If given for that
purpose now, it is generally to babies.
Probably it might in infantile collie be
much oftener used to advantage than
it now is, not only on account OF its
special property referred to. but on
account also of its laxative tendency.
But, after all, there is a disposition on
the part of physicians to do without
medicine as much as possible in the
treatment of diseases, and to exclude
from their list of remedial agents all
which can properly be dispensed with.
Considering every thing about it, il
can properly be said that assafetida is
superfuous. As for the non-profes-
sional using it on his own RESPONSE.

LEARNING TO WALK.

/ often take rockingham
And watch him while he plays,
He has such roly-poly legs
And cunning little ways;
The earnestness with which he crawls,
His strange attempts to talk
But most of all 1t pleases me
When baby tries TO walk.
First dawns the light Of the resolve
Within his rounded eyes,
And next with painting efforts come
His vain attempts to rise;
I lift him quickly from the floor
And leave him waiting there
One moment, till beckon him
Toward the rockingham.
Unsteadily, on dimpled feet.
All wavering he stands,
And most entreatingly to me
Puts out his pudgy hands;
A little tottering, tiny step.
A moment Of alarms,
A swift advance-aimost o fall
Then safe In mothers arms
Dear, dainty feet-through babyland
Full trustingly they go.
But how through stony future paths
A mother may not know;
And yet for aye my heart shall hear
His mystic baby talk,
And memory treasure up the days
When baby learned 70 walk.

IN those good old times Of thirty
years ago, two or three hundred tnou-
sand dollars was thought great en-
dowment for university, and twenty
thousand dollars . sufficient endow-
ment for aprofessorship. To found an
institution and call it university. in
these days, with an income of less than
q quarter of million of dollars a year,
is . broad farce. Even with that sum
many Of the most important spheresV
university activity must be neglected.
Twice the amount is not more than
adequate, and Harvard University,
which has an income Of more than twice
that amount, is at this moment showing
cogent reasons for demanding more.
And the tendency is ever toward q
greater expenditure. This is neither
to be scolded at nor whined over. just
as the material demands of this won
derful time have created vast hotels,
steamships and railway systems, 20 the
moral and intellectual demands are
creating great universities. A leading
professor has become parsonage;
various institutions compete for him,
often raising his salary to figure
which once would have filed boards OF
trustees with dismay. It does not equal

guished city clergymeu. lawyers, presi-
