Greyhounds for Canadian Wolves.

It is officially estimated that no fewer
than ITO, 900 wolves are roaming at large
in Russia, and that the inhabitants of the
Vologda last year killed no fewer than
40, 900, and of the Casan district 81, 900.
In the Canadian Northwest there are also
wolves, but these are not, like the Euro
pean ones, of very dangerous character.
The coyotes are, however, at times very
troublesome on the plains, especially to
tlocks Of sheep. Some time ago Sir John
Lister-Kaye imported a number of
Belgian and French wolfhounds and
Scotch deerhounds for the purpose OF
hunting down these coyotes, while other
breeds Of dogs have also been tried with
fair success. By means of these the
number of coyotes has been much reduced,
as many as seventeen having been brought
down in single day on the Cochrane
ranch, The hounds are, however, scarce
ly fast enough, and with view to giving
them a greater turn Of speed, Mr. Dan
Gordon, the veterinary surgeon of Otta-
wa, Canada, has just imported two of the
fastest and best bred greyhounds ever
shipped from England namely, Justin
ian, by Cui Bono, out of Stylish Lady,
and Jetsam, by Royal Stag, out Of Casta-
way London Times.

Making Charcoal,

The charcoal industry is quite inter.
esting. Perhaps but few people know
how the work is carried on and for the
benefit of the great majority who are poi
acquainted with the business the man
ner of procedure is herewith given.
After the wood is cut and piled in
cords preparations are made for burn.
ing First stake about ten feet high
is driven in the ground, and around
that the wood is piled in circle, the
pieces being stood on end. When the
circle is about ten feet high and about
twenty feet in diameter at the base, the
whole pile, which contains anywhere
from ten to twenty cords, is covered
with pine skaters, which are the fallen
leaves or needles Of the pine tree. On
top of these "shots, as the burners call
them, is placed thick coat of earth,
packed hard then the center stake is
pulled out and fire dropped in the hole
thus left. When the fire is started the
opening at the top is closed, and the
work of burning begins at once. II
takes from two or three weeks to burn
a pile of charcoal properly, and, like
burning bricks, the utmost care is
necessary. The pile is watched day
and night. the burners living in sheds
built in the woods and boarding them
selves. Air or draught holes are made
in the burning pile, and by the smoke
which comes from these holes the
burner judges of the progress of his
work. Holes are stopped up and new
ones made as the color of the smoke
changes. Like burners OF brick, the
burners of charcoal become experts.
The great danger is in getting too much
fire, thus reducing the wood to ashes
instead of charring it. Charcoal that
becomes water-soaked fetches low
price, as it is said that it never dries.

Just at this time of the year there is
always number of city men who get
an itching desire to be farmers-not
for health or pleasure, but farmers for
profit Now, farming is a grand occu-
patton; but to the average city business
man who goes into it for profit, it holds
out nothing but failure. The city
farmer, for example, never considers as
does the wise and knowing farmer, that
there may be disappointment in crops.
He thinks whatever he sows will come
up and yield profit. Even a stupid
turnip knows a city farmer as soon as
it sees him. Msrrowfat peas fairly
rattle in their pods with derision as he
passes. The fields are glad to impose
upon the novice Wandering too near
the beehive with a book on honey max
ing, he gets stung in three places; his
caulihowers turn out to be cabbages; /;
the thunder spoils his milk; the grass
butter that he dreamed of is rancid the
taxes eat up his profit; the drought con-
sumes his corn; the rust gets in his
wheat; the peaches drop off before they
ripen; the rot strikes the potatoes; ex-
pecting to surprise his benighted city
friends with present of few early
vegetables, he accidentally hears that
they have mad new potatoes and green
peas, and sweet corn for a fortnight; !;
the bay mare runs away with the box
wagon; his rustic gate gets out of order /;
his shrubbery is perpetually needing
the shears; it seems almost impossible
to keep the grass out of the serpentine
walks; a COW gets in and upsets the
vase of flowers; the hogs destroy the
watermelons, and the gardener runs off
with the chambermaid. Everything
goes wrong and farming is failure. 1t
always is failure when q man knows
nothing about it; if man can afford to
make large outlay for his own amuse-
ment and the health of his family, let
him hasten to his country purchase.
But no sensible man will think to keep
a business in town and make a farm

THAT sobriety is fast becoming an es-
genital business quality Is daily more ap-
parent. Extremists on temperance may
have been fanatical and the preventive
measures proposed by them unwise, but
the agitation has been productive Of
good. Stagnant waters that breed only
malaria become healthful when thor
oughly stirred, and the rousing by these
enthusiasts is telling everywhere. Presi-
dent Austin Corbin of the Reading rail-

the point where, having forsaken old

ed, Gen. Longstreet has the mortifica-
ton of having himself superseded by q
carpst-b Dagger. That MIR. Harrison has
made the mistake of preferring Buck is
matter of little consequence, only so
far as it reacts against his party; but
that Southern man has by his own act
placed himself in position to receive

initiated the example of other Southern

olats and exposed to insult.

why the Eight-Hour Day rs Demanded.

Why the EiGht-Hour Day rs Demanded.
Master-Workman PowderIy in North American
Review for April.
Too many advocates OF the eight-hour
day are in ignorance of the vital principle
which underlies the agitation. They
argue in this fashion: If the hours of
labor are cut down to eight, the idle men
who have focked to this country will be
employed, and we shall be correspond
ingly happy. Following that course of
reasoning to its logical conclusion, We
should have to cut down the hours of
labor still further in a few years to ac-
comodate the idle thousands imported to
this country by steam end railway conn
panies, and after the number OF the uu-
employed increased again we should have
TO reduce the hours of labor again and
again until the unemployed of Europe
and of Asia had landed, when we should
have nothing TO do. On higher ground
does the sincere advocate of the short
hour work day base his agitation. The
final solution Of the work-day problem
will come when the workman becomes a
sharer in what he creates. To-day the
laborer is considered by his employer to
be no more factor in the field of pro-
duction than the spade which he handles
The laberer has no other interest In the
work be performs than to draw pay for
the work done at the end of the week or
month. Workman and employer find
their interests to be- Identical in but one
particular-to get the most out Of each
other. Take an employer who gives
work to 100 men. The value of their
labor we will rate at 81 . day. He pays
them an average of 81 day each. His
profits viii equal the total wages paid,
and in twenty years he may retire g
wealthy man. How fares il with his
workmen? They remain poor, and retire
only TO the poor house or the cemetery.
What do the riches OF the one Representa-
Unpaid labor. TO labor, then, belongs
the vast sums that rich men leave after
them TO erect poorhouses and charif-
able institutions, which would not be
necessary II the workmen we're paid what
they earned.

Scientific Politician Kconomy.

FOpu lar science Montniy TOT april.
The political economy of the future will
be of comparatively slow growth but 1t will
deaf with men as creatures OF flesh and
blood; not as automata moved by a few
icketed Tres. The materials for the ris-
ng science are being laboriously gathered
by many earnest Investigators, who are
fully alive to the errors of their predeees-
sors, and who mean, therefore, to let the
facts as much as possible speak for them
selves. To the new political economy
many independent lines of inquiry Will
contribu to. The biologists, the moral
list, the statesman, the lawyer, will all
bring their stores of carefully assorted
data; and, when these have been further
arranged and correlated by minds of
competent scope and grasp, we shall be-
gin TO see the outlines of much more
comprehensive theory of economics than
any that has heretofore been given to the
world. In word, SCIENCES will UNDER
take TO organize region that in the past
has been too much given over to g priori
speculation, with its natural accompani-
ment of presumptuious dogmatism. In
future our concern will be not with the
opinions of individual writer's, but with
their demonstrations; mere hypothesis
VIII carry no mole weight III tnls n9iu
than in any recognized department OF
natural science. What the effect upon
social order and progress of really we'll
constituted science of political economy
will be it is not difficult to foresee. 1t
will act as the great harmonizer of con-
fiicting claims, and most potent aid to
the realization Of justice IN all human re-
lations. And once more it will be prov
ed that the only way TO know things is to
know them practically, and that the only
way to build up science is to bring the
facts together, and all the facts.
