THE FARMERS MOVEMENT.

Those who sneer at the farmers
movement are as far wrong as those
who fear it. It will not usher in 4
political millennium, nor will it sub
vert free institutions and substitute
reign of anarchy, says the Wins
bOro, S. G.. Advocate. The farmers
see that they are contributing to sup
port the most magnificent govern
ment on earth, and that their labor
has made the country exceedingly
prosperous, and they want to know
how it is that they seem to have lit
tie or no part in this matter, and
and have at last reached the coneiu-
sion that they have been attending
too closely to their private affairs TO
watch the other fellows, and that
their duty to themselves and the
country requires that they take a
hand in running the government.
They are not tooling. Not being
disciplined in the political manual
of arms, they may be expected to
make some blunders. But they VIII
not be deferred from the effort. Par
ties, political or otherwise, who
think the movement is only an April
shower, will learn their error, and II
be- happy for them if they are not
too late in s'catching on. =

The water had hardly touched her

began 10 turn black. She was So
frightened at the transformation that
upon seeing her reflection in the mirror
she tainted. The attendant, who was
as greatly startled as her mistress, cried
for help. The explanation was simple
enough. 1t was discovered that the
countess was accustomed to paint her
face hands, arms and neck daily with a
substance containing zine. On that
fatal day the poor woman had neglected
to remove the identifying" coat The
zine combined with the sulphur and
natrium of the water and quickly made
