ntions are, to use homely expression,
trying to carry water on both shoulders.
They acquiesce in your views, express
sympathy with your cause and promise
you faithful support; but at the time
you need their services, at the very mo-
ment when their presence is most de-
sired, they are unaccountably absent.
Shun all such in future. Farmers
Friend.

principle above partisan politics, and

says that "the contract providence
awarded to the Republicans to run
this country for another quarter Of
a century has only just begun" F"
It is true that the execution of the
contract has begun, but it does not
follow that it will continue twenty
five years or five years, A higher
and more potential providence has
already awarded a more valid con-
tract to the Democrats to annul the
first contract and to exterminate
the contractors. And that the Dem
ocrats will do without regard to
providential or other contracts.
They will do it of their own voli-

EVERY ray OF light from the in-
side facts of the present adminis-
tration opens up to view some das-
tardly imposition on the farmers.
Recently the chief officials of the
land Office, gave permission to cet-
tain pet lawyers to the administfe-
tion, to copy the records of land
warrants, and now thousands Of
agents Of these lawyers are in the
West and Northwest getcing up
warrants for settlers at 81 each.
when it was the duty of the land
Office to issue the warrants to the
settlers upon application. But the
administration saw chance to fat
ten a few friends at the expense o1
the farmers and forthwith gave the
opportunity. But fortunately the
Democrats in Congress discovered
the fraud on the farmers, and viii
block the game. If this game haC
been carried out in full as intended
it would have cost the farmers O

a twenty-room cottage at Cape

ceptance was the work of President

owned it. The acceptance was a

Sunlight and Health.

' The potent influence of sunlight upon health can hardly be exaggerated. Dr. Wier Mitchell, in his interesting researches cn sEako poisons, found that the poison of the deadly cobra, if exposed to sunlight for brief time, became harmless Prof. Huxley has shown that yeast increases indefinitely in volume amid darlIne $ and damp, while in sunlight just the reverse is the case. Sunless houses arc unnatur- al creators of sickness. The preva- lence of goitre in Siberia, which at- tacks twelve and ofton twenty-five per cent of the people il some villages, is ascribed to the accumulation of filth in deep, narrow valleys and the habit of Russian peasants of keeping their houses tightly closed. Free ac- cess of light fav0r5 nutrition and rogu- larity of development and contributes to beautify the counteraace, while de- ficiency of light i5 usually character ized by ugliness, rickots aad deform- ity, and is g fruitful source of scrofula and consumption in any climate It is probable that one of the chief bene- fits derived by invalids from a winter sojourn of Alpine or tropical resorts is due to the large amount Of sunlight enjoyed. d.-Science.
