A Northerner Set Back.

At one little station in the woods the
train stopped a long time. Close by the
side of the track, opposite the station
house, was patch OF corn-two or three
acres IAN exceedingly thin and sickly-
looking crop, the soil being little better
than sand. A tall, gaunt boy of about
sixteen years, dressed from head to foot
in red jeans, was lazily hoeing and weed
ing between the rows.
Look at that wretched crop, said the
Northerner. Dirty seed, no manure,
poor soil, baking sun, hoe culture; not
even pillow to stir the land deeply, let
alone .cultiyator' to weed il quickly
and often. The weeds viii have choked

Mrs. Marceline Jol1coeur, mother of
Joseph Jolicoeur, Of this village, died at
the home Of her daughter, Mrs. Domas

years. The deceased was born in Can

in 1912. The result of the marriage was
eleven children, eight of whom are iy-
ing. john Jolicoeur died at Lake Lin
den, Michigan, in 1877, and during the
past eleven years deceased was a resi-
dent Of this place. Although the good
lady's life had been prolonged to the
good old age Of ~ years. her death rends
a bond of family union. During the
protracted period Of her illness, caused
by a paralytlc stroke thirteen years ago,
she was attended with a tenderness that
bespoke true Christian piety. and which
was inspired by the exalted reverence in
which she was held by her family. Dur
ing her whole life she exemplifed in a
remarkable manner the highest and
.noblest Christian virtues, always pos
sessed of gentle and sweet disposition,
and ever ready to do good for the sake
of Him who created her. Surrounded
by her daughter, Mrs. Perault. and two
sons, John and Joseph Jolicoeur, she
calmly Welded up her pure soul into the
hands Of her Maker to receive the eSer-
nal reward promised to the faithful. The
funeral took place Thursday morning
from st. Mary's church. and q requiem
mass was said by Father Guillot, who
also reviewed the life of deceased, and
paid high tribute to her memory. The

SALISBURY'S ADVICE.

That Protection Does Protect.

rne English Premier Indirectly Admits
That Protection Does Protect.
Just now, while few gentlemen are
assuring American workmen that they
are mistaken in supposing themselves
to be better off than workmen in En-
gland are, and that what they really need
Is the adoption of English methods in
American fiscal affairs, it may be well to
consider what Englishmen think about
the matter-such Englishmen as Lord
Salisbury, for instance. His Lordship is
at the head of the British Government,
and may be taken as good authority.
He made a long speech at Noting
ham on the 26th of November, and de-
voted much of it to the depressed condi-
ton of labor; and this is part of what he
said:
There Is one other way in which think It is
possible FOR the State TO give considerable as
sistance to the working-men, but It is, un-
fortunately, q method TO which he has been
taught by his unwise advisers to look with con-
siderable repuIsion. refer 10 all those meas

fore, wages is q question Of the comparative

its latent heat, leaving the moisture it
contained deposited on the outside of
the glass in the shape of dew.
The reason why the temperature in
nature never sinks lower than the dew
point is plain. The air coming in con-
tact with the cold earth and plants,
parts with its moisture. This changes
from the vapor form into the liquid
dew, which change results in freezing
the latent heat contained in the vapor.
Dew is nothing more than heat and
moisture distracted from earth and
plants during the warmer part of the
day, and given back when the dew point
is reached.
Care should be taken to keep the
small tube closed with a cork to prevent
the evaporation of the ether; if on
blowing into the instrument you find
the temperature to go below 80 degrees
before dew is formed then certainly you
can depend on frost.
The instrument can be put on q small
shelf of one of the posts in the summer
arbor, or any out-of-the-way place,
where it can be consulted at any time,
and enable us to make timely prepare
tions for the projection of plants against
the early frosts liable to occur in early
autumn.-Popular Gardening.

80 TO raise the wages that are given. Much has
been said in this country about raising wages
and about lowering rents, but there is no such
certain specific for both these operations as the
opening the door for those workmen who
choose to seek better market for their In
dustry in other lands. They viii be happier
and richer themselves; they viii create new
markets for the industry Of their countrymen,
and they viii cease to drive down the wages in
England by excessive competition
Now, the English workman can emf
CRATE TO no country in which great re-
wards attend the labors of industry"
except he got to a country in which a
protective tariff provides the greater
rewards. Canada, Australia, the United
States, all the countries that offer in
ducements to labor are protective coun-
tries. Free-trade England is in such an
unhealthy and unenviable condition
that, despairing of ever being able to
give shem assurance of improved condi-
ton st home, her Prime Minister ad-
vises the starving workmen to accept
the boon of assisted emigration" They
are too poor to emigrate without aid,
their numbers increase-even now one
in every five of them dies in poor
house or hospital-and Lord Salisbury's
wise remedy is that they shall be
assisted" to emigrate to a protective
country. And yet few gentlemen are
assuring American workmen that protec-
ton does not protect.-Chicago Inter

THE OLD PHILOSOPHER.
His History Has Pathetic .Side-A Gifted
Man Doing Good in an Humble Way.
HERE is a graduate

the Congressional library at Washing
ton. He is nearly sixty years of age,
evidently very poor, for he wears shabby
clothes and his bald head is adorned
with very grimy old felt hat when he
energies from the library. He is called
the ''Old Philosopher" by habitues of
the building. Formerly prosperous
lawyer, he was converted in rs during
revival held in Washington by the
evangelist, Rev. E. P. Hammond. Ever
since then the Old Philosopher has de-
voted his time and talents to the study
of the Bible. He reads all commentaries
and covers the table before him with
Bibles in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Ger
man and French. The regular Sunday
school lessons are read and re-read, and
the commentaries of standard authori-
ties are carefully conned by him.
OF course his law business has long
since faded away, and he has nothing to
live on except faith. Although a very
learned man, he is not good extern
pore speaker upon religious topics. He
fears that he may say something wrong,
and hence hesitates and stammers in his
choice of words. Having tried in vain
to preach to congregations of his own
race, he has, during the past ten years,
devoted his time and attention to the
elevation of the colored race in the
suburbs. To them he constantly min
listers, teaching classes of men and wom-
en- in colored Sunday-schools, and ex-
planning the lessons to the congrega-
tons which gather at night TO hear him.
He realizes that his learning is su.
perior, and feels that he can talk with
out hesitancy to the ignorant peo-
tremendous and thrilling in those Sun
day night sermons. Yet the same man
can not make creditable appearance
before an audience of his peers. His
dependence upon faith is not futile.
The colored people welcome him into
their homes, and whatever they have is
his for the asking. He has no regular
place to sleep, but is welcomed into the
houses of the meek and lowly wherever
night overtakes him. The breakfast of
bread and coffee is divided with him,
and Immediately thereafter he hastens
to the Congressional library to repeat
the work of the previous day in the
study of the Scriptures. He has spoiled
an excellent lawyer to make of himself
an exceptionally poor preacher. Yet
he is ''going about doing good" and
seems always to be cheerful and happy.

Keep No Drones.

Many farmers are now making prepar-
atoms to winter stock which is ready to
sell for beef because the price is not sat-
isfaetory, or will keep stock which Is
bringing in no income simply to con-
sumo the hay and grain produced upon
the farm. Now, this will not pay. Just
sitdown and reckon what it costs to keep
an animal through the winter months at
the cost pfice of the food, and then see
what you have to show for it in the spring
In many cases it will hardly pay for a
months keeping. and in the spring the
farmer comes out behindhand and won
ders why farming does not pay any bet
ter. We can not afford to run our farms
on any s1eh principle. There should be
no dronas eyen among our cattle. Each
animal should be kept for definite
purpose. with some paying object in
view. We can not afford to keep an an
imal ready for the slaughter-house for
three months simply to get twenty-five
or fifty cents per one hundred pounds
more for it. Farmers must take more
account of what seems TO them the lit
tie things, for in this. way only can farm
ing be made to pay. No business house
would think of standing such leak
as this without going to the wall.
Why so many farmers are complaining
of hard times is because they do not
stop the leaks, and this, in many places,
is a. big one. Just look over your neigh
borhood and see how many are farming
on this principle.-Farm and Home.

THE FARMING WORLD.
HOMEMADE HYeRoMETER.
An Ingenious and Simple Little Devic'
for Forecasting the Weather.

An Ingenious and Simple Little Device
for Foreoasting the Weather.
Most means by which the weather is
forecast are visionary and unreliable.
Seldom, indeed, do we find any positive
guide by which the temperature of the
future may be known to certainty. l
herewith present an engraving of hy-
grometer, homemade, and so cheap and
simple is its construction that there is
no necessity for being caught by frost
any longer. 1t is so unfailing in its
action that we can tell to a nicely in
the latter part of the day or evening
what the lowest temperature will be
the ensuing night.
1t consists first of large glass bottle
A, and thermometer c inside of it. In
the cork D ale inserted two glass tubes
E and F, one (E) simply communicating
with the outer air, the other (F) reach
ing from the bottom of the instrument
to the outside and ending az right an
GLE The tube can be bent very easily
by holding it in gas fame and giving
it an easy bend. A small rubber hose
G, ending in a mouthpiece, is attached
tity of ether, which, however, must not
reach the bulb of the thermometer.
When we wish to know the temper
allure of the coming night we simply
blow into the mouthpiece attached to
the end of our hose, in consequence of
which the air vaporizes a quantity of
the ether, which in its turn will absorb
an immense amount OF heat. Keen on
blowing for moment or two, and you
will find moisture deposit on the out
side of your bottle; then quickly read
your thermometer on the inside, and
you have the lowest temperature Of the
ensuing night. This point is called the
dew point" and when that is reached
the temperature will not go any lower.
Now a word with regard to the
philosophy of this valuable little in
strument. Dew forms in consequence
of warm air coming in contact with
colder earth and plants, thus being
forced to part with its latent Tor in
sensible) heat. In so doing, however,
it must precipitate, or free, the moisture
it held in suspension. Now, when you
blow into the ether contained in your
hygrometer, a quantity of it, becoming
vaporized, abstracts great amount of
heat from the inside of the instrument.
The result is, the warm air coming in
contact with the cold glass parts with
