rope now living in enforced idleness.r
1t occurs to me that the business men of
this country ought to get up an eight
hour movement in their behalf. Unlike
the labor movement, it should be for the
purpose of enforcing idleness-or rather,
to set apart a part of the twenty-four
hours for leisure. The extinction of
leisure is the curse Of modern business
life. In the fierce competition of latter
day industrial life business men have no
leisure time. Like the drive wheels of
their engines, they keep up action after
the force that set them in motion is with
drawn. AS some one has said, the bust
ness men of this age are trained like
race horses, more for speed than endur-
ance. Their only recreation is change
of excitement. This universal viola
ton of physical laws is telling on this
generation, and it will tell more on the
next. What the business men of this
country want to do is to inaugurate an
eight-hour movement among themselves
Just as the laboring classes are doing
eight hours for work, eight hours for
rest, and eight hours for recreation.

THE dragon fly that is to eat up all
the mosquitoes and small flies, when he
becomes numerous enough by artificial
propagation, is given good character
by those most familiar with him. He
doesn't annoy people, and is handsome

business assigned him. Perhaps those
who travel to mosquito regions will be
able to take a few well-trained flies

Col. BARR is speaking Oh behalf of Mr..
Lowry and the street railway company,
and his letter is virtually an appeal to
the city council to suspend action on

In other words, it has the appearance of
being what the lawyers would call
plea in abatement. If there were no
electric motor lines in existence, and
the public were not familiar with their
success. or if the street railway COM
pany had not so recently expressed not
only willingness, but an anxiety, to
build several electric motor lines where
they were to receive a bonus, Col.
BARR's letter would command more at
tention than it is likely to receive at
this time. At the same time, we know
that the electric system is yet in its in

that it will reach a much higher state

A MIDSUMMER HIGH JINKS.
Written for the Globe l

In the early years of Calf ornia, when
the golden fever attracted persons of all
kinds to the Western coast, society rap
idly resolved itself into two camps-the
honest ones-and the others. The fair
and frank characters, whose word was
honor and whose dealings square"
banded together, naturally, to defend
themselves against the lawless roughs
who respected nothing. AS time wore
on, the sons grew up in the traditions of
the elders, developing character of
courteous kindness and good fellowship.
Joined together in business pursuits, all
interested in this wonderful and pros
porous country, they met and formed a
club, where they could be free and easy
as EN- famille.

The address of Worthy Master Prince,

point. He impressed all, by his earnest
manner and SINGERS purpose to work for
the advancement Of the cause.
The following resolution was embodied
In the report of Bro. l, |. Winslow, chair
man of committee Of agriculture.
Resolred-That we regard the low
opinion of farming as an occupation,
that largely prevails among ia mers, and
especially the general tendency of our
young people to leave the farm as evils
which seriously threaten the welfare of
agriculture, and which the grange should
strive to overcome. We believe this ten
dency may be largely corrected by ex-
tending a knowledge of, and fondness
for. the scientific principles Of agricult-
ure SO as to render farming more mat
ter of thought and less a matter Of drudg
cry. We believe that the most thorough
and efficient means of attaining this end
Is to introduce the study of agriculture
into the course of instruction for the old
er pupils In all our rural schools. We re-
gard 1t as a matter Of justice that the
farmer who has to pay heavy taxes for the
education of his children, should demand
that one branch of study pursued a,
school should have direct reference to
that occupation to which he devotes his
life apd by which he earns his daily
bread.

Tit for Tat.

A boy was one day sitting on the steps
of house. He had broom In one hand
and large piece of bread and butter In
the other. While he was eating 1t he saw
poor little dog not far from him. He
called out to him, Come here, poor fel-
low!" Seeing the boy eating, he came
near. The boy held out to him piece of
his bread and butter. As the dog stretched
out his head 10 take It, the boy drew back
his hand and hit him q hard rap on the
nose. A gentleman who was looking
from q window on the other side of the
street, saw what the boy had done. Open
ing the street door, he called out to him
to come over, at the same time holding a
sixpence between his finger and thumb
"Would YOU like this?' said the gentle
man. Eyes, If you please, sir" said the
boy, smiling. Just at that moment he
got so severe rap on the knuckles, from
q cane which the gentleman had behind
him, that he roared out with pain. "What
did you do that for?" said he, making q
very long face, and rubbing his hand. ~

Stock Decreasing In the West.

In view OF the western stock boom that

ness. 1t is well known that the price of
beef has discouraged many stockmen,
and that there Is good deal Of commo-
tion In their ranks caused by the demand
OF capitalists to find out what their
chances are for recovering their money or
getting q fair per cent on It's investment.
The Iowa State Register, which has paid
some attention to the subject, Is inclined
to the opinion that the number of cattle
has actually decreased within the last few
years. There are no authentic statistics,
covering the ground, but Kansas takes o
census OF It's inhabitants and stock every
year, and this shows an actual decrease
OF both during the last year. There Ia an
increase In horses, swine and cattle other
than mich cows, but decline In milch
cows Of nearly 10000, at the same time
daIrying Is being introduced. 1t Is be-
leved that this decrease In cows was of
those used for beef-ralsing purposes and
with the view of reducing the number OF
beef animals. In the depressed condition
Of the beef market, there Is nothing more
natura. than that the cows should be sent
forward for slaughter. We believe the
reign of the stock barons is verging
toward clOse.-Mirror and Farmer.
