A Predatory Dog Outwitted.

The other day a spaniel that had a
bad habit of stealing poultry, was seen
approaching the house at "a moderate
trot with a large rooster in his mouth.
The fowl seemed to be defunct, and so
the spaniel evidently thought, for being
somewhat weakened by the excursion
aud The weather being warm, he laid
down his prey for moment in order
to rest. But the rooster was alive aud
in full possession of all his faculties,
for no sooner did he feel himself re-
leased from the jaws of the fell beast
that had captured him than he duttered
his wings and struggled up among the
branches of convenient tree. The
dog was so astounded at this miracle.
as it must have seemed to him, that he
lost his presence o. mind for second
or two, and in that interval his booty
escaped This tale is perfectly true

ence years ago), although | must con-
Tess it sounds good deal like the be-
ginning of one 4Esops Fables. -Bos-

ment.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
Now that the subject of corporal punish
ment In our schools is being agitated, let the
matter be viewed from each and every stand
point. There are some who are opposed to
corporal punishment as at present adminis-
tered in our public schools. Will one of
refractory boys and pampered children whose
every whim has been INDUCED at homes
- What, kind parent, shall be done with
that one who maliciously tips back the seat
of your little girl at her class that she may be
precipitated between her desk and chair mp
on resuming her seat, thus endangering life
striking his neighbor should she accidentally
push him in the line, or in any other way in
cur his displeasurea
Shall the teacher stand like wooden image
with her hands tied when few strokes from
q strap judiciously administered would effect
uelly check this at the outsete If SO, then no
parent can safely trust his or her child with

lied by few who have all power given them
while the teacher has none. 1 am no advo-
cate of the strap except as last resort, but
believe it has its place In the school room.
Let the members of the board look back to
their boyhood days when the old-time mas
ters used to threaten to mop the floor with
their pupils, and do it, too, Then, after ma
turc deliberation, they will reach the conclu-
sion that the children in our public schools
are not abused and that teachers should not
be too greatly restricted in their efforts to
preserve order in our schools.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD, ETC.
In this State, as in many others, the trans
ferring of real estate from one owner to an
other is complicated affair. A great many
words have to be used, and there is much
which seems like vain repetition to all but
the lawyers and others who profit by the ex-
traordinary mess of words. These words
are now used because they have been used
for long time, and not because fewer and
simpler ones would not answer the purpose.
In New York q change in this matter is
going to be made. A bill establishing new
forms Of conveyancing has just become
law in New York by the governors sigma
ture, and is to 60 into effect the fret of Sep
tember. Its purpose is to compress within
as few words as possible the phraseology of
deeds and mortgages of real property and to
give to these words the same construction
and legal conclusiveness as If the old
fashioned, long -winded and Pathological
statement Of the covenant mad been
used. For example, the six words "shall
quietly enjoy the said premises are made to
take the place of the ffty-eight words COM
monty. used to convey the same meaning. It
is estimated, indeed, that deeds and mort
cages conforming to the new law will con-
tain, on the average, only about one quarter
of the number of words that those in present
use include. The saving in the expense of
copying and recording will, of course, be
considerable, and the general advantages in
the way of facilitating the examinations of
titles and the transfer of land. as we'll as in
simplifying conveyances to the ordinary un-
derstanding, are, of course, obvious.
This is an example which we hope will
soon be followed in this State. It ought to
be 80 that q man can own real estate without
getting all tangled up in words.

THE NEW ENGLAND FARMERS.

Il N Il :" cNW LA N - r a n IVA kSkkSs
We have for long time been taught to
believe that agriculture is declining in New
England, but facts are facts, and in the New
England Magazine Frederick Hathaway Chase
sets forth some facts which show that agri
culture In this part of the world is not in
such a state of decay as some would have us
believe. Mr.. Chase bsgins by showing the
number of acres under cultivation in New
Epgland at periods of five years, from 1870
to 1888, and in every State there is large
increase. Taking tho States separately, the
aggregate increase during that period for each
year was as follows: Maine, 31S.37 acres;
New Hampshire, 139, 800 acres; Vermont,
5S,2 ,271 acres; Massachusetts, 200, ,99S acres
Rhode Island ~, ,75O acres; Connecticut, ,279,-
31S acres. He then goes on to consider the
changed conditions under which agriculture
is now conducted and the need of new
methods in order to conform to the demands
of the new situation. He remarks upon the
advantages enjoyed by the New England
farmer when he conforms to the requires
| ments of the times, and he also
shows how the proximity of tho market
favors him. Speaking of the changes which
are constantly taking place, some phases of
| which have been seized upon As evidence of
the decline, he says: In every part Of New
England the change, whore not already
wrought, is rapidly going on. The old style
farmer, who devoted his attention solely to
grain-raising, il almost wholly supplanted by
one who grows miscellaneous harvest and

! crops reaps the fullest advantage from his
| land. As our manufactures increase, build
ing up cities of mills and shops, and filling
them with busy workmen, our farming class
will also grow in numbers, and the acres un-
der their control will swell in extent.
All of which Is cheering. The farmer de-
| serves all he can get and in most cases more

900 boxes for their keeping. As result
there are over two hundred factories in the
country turning these boxes out. The wood
of which these boxes are made comes from
Mexico, Central America and the West Indies
The manufactursrs buy the wood in large,
heavy logs and cut it up to suit themselves.
Some Of the cheaper grades of boxes are made
from poplar cut in the West, which is after
ward stained to initiate the real cedar. But
the only real good wood for the purpose is
the cedar which comes from the countries
named.
The Illinois Democrats have placed them
selves on the side Of the Roman Catholics
and Lutherans against the compulsory edu-
cation law. They make this the leading fea-
tufs of ther platform, declaring the right of
the state to interfere only where parents neg
lect to educate their children. Private
schools, denominational schools and instruo-
ton at home, they say, must be viewed by
the state with equal favor as the public
schools, and all laws discriminating against
one in favor of the other, or denying the
right of the parent to have the child educa-
be repealed. They favor only law which
will compel performance of ths duty of edu-
eating children where 1t has been neglected,
punish for non-performance and "supply
the lack where, to the injury of society NOM
performance is wrongfully persisted in."
The American farmer has reason for COM
planning. In 1867 the corn crop Of the
United States covered 32.52O,249 acres and
amounted to 1858 $780, 900 bushels, Of total
value of $610, ,948, 800. Corn averaged 80
cents per bushsl in that year and the average
value Of the crop per acre was $18.S7. In
1887 the aeresge had increased to rs, ,672, ,763
acres and the crop to 1887, ,790, 900 bushels,
while the aggregate value had only risen to
$677, ,561 $50. During this period the value
of corn had shrunk from 80 cents TO 3S.1
cents per bushel, and the acre that earned
$1ss in 1867 yielded only $3.50 in 1887.
Likewise with wheat. In 1867 the area de-
voted to wheat was 18, ,321 ,561 acres, and the
crop amounted to 212, AL 400 bushels, valued
at $421, ,796, ,460. The acreage in 1887 was
1884, ,7S3 acres, and, although the crop had
more than doubled, to 456, 400, 900 bushels,
It's value was only $685.. .24S, ,O3O, or $36, $685.
430 less than the crop of not half the sizs in
1867. The average value Of the wheat crop
fell from 81 9s per bushel in 1867 to 81. 8
cents in 1887, and the value of the crop per
acre decreased in the same period from $685.

STAMP COLLRCClsG.
What 1t Goats TO Follow UP the Fad
An Uncle's Bequest.

An Uncle's Bequest.
from the Boston Herald.
A story is told Of an elderly uncle who
left to his nephew the entire contents of his
house, which was very nearly all he had to
leave. In the uncle's desk was found an
enormous accumulation of papers, for he had
much correspondence with many corners of
the world, and had carefully preserved every
letter he had received. And, what is more,
inside the fold of every letter was the
envelope in which it had come. The nephew
who was an ingenious young gentleman, saw
a small fortune in this seeming triviality.
Many of the foreign and colonial stamps on
the envelopes were of great value, and he
sold them en- bloc to a dealer in foreign
stamps for hundred pounds. Some of these
very stamps may, perhaps, have found a
in Vienna, says London journal.
It clearly will not do to laugh at the stamp
maniacs any more. Stamp collecting
is no longer confined to schooiboys, but
has become the amusement, and often the
passion, of millionaires. For to make col
lection with any approach to completeness ia
only possible to a millionaire-or his son -in-
law. It is, we believe member of French
branch of the house of Rothschild who pos
sesses the most complete collection. 1t
seems rather crazy thing to give ESQ or
Gl00 for postage stamp, but the man who
does that is no worse than the book collector
who gives handful of sovereigns for an edi-
ton which is half inch taller than one for
which he would not give half a crown. We
are all mad on some point, 30 by all means
let US have free trade in maniacs.
