Queries and AnaWera.

Why have the farmers been left out In
class legislation? Because they have
been divided.
How were they divided? In the north
and west they voted against the southern
farmer; in the south they voted against
che northern farmer.
How will they hereafter obtain their
rights? BY standing together for reform
and burying past divisions.
How can this be dOueP BY the people
Of one section reading the papers Of the
other.
And one Of the best papers In the south
is the Farmers Vidette, published at
Alexandria, La, 81 per annum. Read

A Patent Horseshoe.

A patent covers horseshoe which pos
sesses many advantages. On its under
surface is stamped pattern which gives
number of points for the securing of "A
better grip on the pavement and this,
where wooden pavements are used, is an
important consideration. The shoe is
about half the weight of an ordinary
shoe, being two and half pounds the set
Of four; it takes less time and less money
to fix, has only four nails, as against the
usual seven. Being a three-quarter shoe,
it leaves the frogs and heels on the ground
which prevents conclusion to the foot
and leg, contraction and corns.
The only preparation the hoof requires
after the old shoe is taken off is that the
rasp must be used on the toe and quar-
tiers, making reduction Of about one
eighth Of an inch on the lower side of the
hoof. The frog and heels and back part
of the foot should not be touched. This
shoe is made in accordance with the well
established principle that the more the
hinder part of the foot-which is very
tough-is used, the harder and healthier
1t becomes. -New York Telegram.

Policeman and Model.

There is a big, picturesque policeman
on the Broadway squad who is noted
among the habitues of the Rialto for his
flowing blond mustache, who turns an
occasional dollar as an artists model.
Having posed during his watch on deck
for the benefit of the common people in
the flesh, he is transferred to imperisha-
BILE canvas to gladden. the artistic eye of
generations yet to come. He has the
trunk and arms of a giant. In the opin-
ion of distinguished artist, this police
man is the best specimen of massive
physical perfection he ever saw. OF
course, the lady artists have all had a
hack at him with pencil and brush, for
which he invariably gets one dollar a sit
ting. No wonder he carries the air of a
man thoroughly satisfied with himself.

When He Served the Queen.

/ served the queen for several years,
and l look back on the experience with
neither horror nor shame. During the
twenty-five years that have passed since
then the amelioration in the condition of
the soldier has been incalculable. But |
should be untrue to their memory if l
did not lift up my testimony that the
men of the old days endured their more
arduous lot with grand primitive resig-
nation.
They knew that the quartermaster and
the butcher were in collision in regard
to the meat ration, that the troop SER
geant major cooked their accounts, and
that the pay corporal had glutinous i'm
gers Their captain habitually addressed
them as brutes; the surgeon left his du-
ties for days to go hunting. There was
no quick escape for them from those
abuses, for some of them were "lifers,"
and all were long service men.
But there were no professional agita-
tors in those days, nor any barrack room
lawyers "who knew their rights" there
was not great deal of that commodity
of little of which the poet speaks as
"a dangerous thing" and there were no
halfpenny newspapers. The discipline
was rigid, how rigid no younger Of to-
day can have any idea; but insubordina-
ton was undreamed of. - Archibald

The Chinese Exclusion act has re-

cision of Judge Swan of the L. 5.
District Court a short time since.
By this decision a Chinaman may
come direct from China to Canada
and from Canada here, but when the
treasury officials undertake to send
him back under the provisions of
the Chinese Exclusion act to the
country "from whence they came"
they must send them to Canada.
And sending them back to Canada
does no good. The treasury depart
ment will give up all efforts to stop
the influx. Our northern neighbor
however is we'll satisfied with the
result as she levies a tax Of $50 on

How about prices, for they say
the tariff is a tax? On the LIST of
July, 1890, cotton cloth was selling
at 8! cents a yard; on the LIST OF
July, 1891, it was selling at s5 cents
a yard. Cotton Prints on the lst of
July, 1890, were selling at 81 cents
a yard; on the lst of July, 1891,
they were selling at cents a yard.
Iron nails on the lst of July, 1890,
were selling at 3l.s5; on the lst of
July, 1891, they were selling at $3.50.
Steel nails on the LIST of July, 1890,
were selling at $2.65; on tie lst of
July, 1891, they were selling at
sl.s5. Who pays the tax? The
duty on steel nails is from 2 TO 4
cents a pound; and yet you now
have them at Sl.s5 per hundred,
which is less than the dutey itslf.
Who pays the tax? Steel rails on
the lst of July, 1890, were selling at
S31.05 per ton; on the lst of July,
1901, they were selling at $9O.77.
Binder Irvine on the LIST Of July,

our trade with every nation of the

Whereas On The twentieth day of February
last this association was called upon To re-
ceive the mortal remains of the late Henri!

years had been president of this board of
trustees, and whose tody now lies beneath

Whereas, Ii is most fitting that this board

Resolved, That in all that goes to make up
the human standard of a perfect man, Gen.
Sibley was without a superior in this com

Great as is his loss TO his family and to the
many public bodies over which he presided.
the loss is not borne by them alone: for he
will be sadly missed by the poor and lonely
as well as those in the higher walks and sta
tons of life.
His valued counsel and advice, so often and
so freely sought, was as freely given, and
his charitable hand was never closed.
No words can portray this good man as we
knew him, and it will be well for US If we

his long and well-spent life among us as Il
