GEN. BOOTHS SCHEME.

1t is era tifying to know that Gen.
Booths scheme for the relief of the
submerged tenth" of England is GO
ing into practical operation. On
March % new lodging house and
shelter, entitled the Lighthouse, was
opened in Shoreditch, making the
third, the first being the Ark, and
the second the life-boat. The first
Prison Gate home has been opened.
"a Prison Gate Home for women
will soon be opened, and in connec-
ton with this a large laundry.
From one hundred to one hundred
and twenty men are employed in the
workshop at Old street. Married
men, who have families dependent on
them, are employed in another
factory in Fieldgate street. These
men are paid daily, and thus able to
provide for the daily needs of them
selves and families. Two hundred
Hamburg street. Another large
building a Food and Shelter, to ac-
commodate four hundred men, will
be opened within the next four
weeks; and a large building in the
right position has practically been
secured for the inauguration of the
Darkest England Salvage Scheme.
Here, to commence with, three or
four hundred hands will find employ
ment. Another superior lodging for
men is being negotiated for. The
great difficulty is to get suitable
buildings in suitable localities, and
as buildings, except where absolutely
necessary, is out of thequestion with
the present funds, structures must be
found which are the most easily
adaptable to the purposes for which
they are required. The Darkest
England Match Factory is making
substantial progress, and it is hoped
that the factory will be model one,
and worked on the eight-hour svs-
TEN. Bethnal Green and its vicinity
are already being visited by officials,
who are selecting the poorest and
most needy cases, with a view to
making them match box employees.
On the opening of the place, these
selected women will, when the ages
and other circumstances of their
families permit, work in a room by
themselves at the factorv.'

THE DECAY OF THE BOOK-BUYING
HABIT.

The book-buying habit has fallen
off; the pamphlet-buying habit has
taken its place. The pamphlet soon
finds its way to the waste basket,
which, in many cases, it should have
risen above, and the permanent pos
sessions of the household are less
than they ought to be by one book.
The average American citizens
source of intellectual pabulum is now
the news stand" 1t and the toy
shop with piles Of pamphlet libra
ries" at one end have too generally
succeeded the bookstore. The old
habit of dropping into the book
store and buying the latest good
thing-latest in form or matters
now INDUCED in by few people and in
relatively few places.-[ Henry Holt

LARGEST FARM IN THE WORLD.

There is a farm in the southwest Of
the state Of Louisiana measuring
one hundred miles north and south
and twenty-five miles east and west.
The one and a half million acres of
which it is made up were purchased
seven years ago from the state of
Louisiana and from the United
States Government by a syndicate
of Northern capitalists, by which it
is now farmed. At that time it was
vast grazing ground for the cattle
of the few dealers in the neighbour
hood, there being thirty thousand
head of cattle and horses upon it.
This immense tract is now divided
into convenient pasture stations,
or ranches, the fencing alone having
cost fifty thousand dollars. The
land is best adapted for rice, sugar,
corn and cotton. All the cultiva ting,
dictching, etc, are done by steam
power, a tract of about half a mile
wide being taken and an engine
placed on each side. The engines are
portable and work cable attached
to four plows, the area plowed in
this way, with the labor of only
three men, being thirty acres. Har-
rowing, sowing, etc, are done in the
same way, and there is not a single
draft horse on the estate. Horses
are, however, used by the herdsmen,
who look after the sixteen thousand
head of cattle upon the estate, which
is traversed for thirty-six miles by
the Southern Pacific railway. The
company has three steamboats, upon
the three hundred miles of navigable
waters which traverse their estate,
and also possesses a ship-yard, a
bank and rice mills

Inaverdent, but quite natural
has been the international
turn which our Dress Goods
talk has taken for some days.
English and French have had
much attention--not all they de
serve-but it would be far from
fair ifa group of choice German
fabrics should e~scapeimmediate
notice.
They do not show great ORR
ginal glory of novelty, but their
place is unique and their pres
ence absolutely essential to a
complete Dress Goods stock.
Read of them, then you'll
want to see them. The Chev-
lot stripes will amuse you. 1t
is. Alexander and not Hans
that you think of-so complete
ly has the German caught the
ensemble Of the Scotchman.
They are in gray and yellowish
shades, the latter SO like haXen
hair in hue that you wonder if
blue eyes are not rolled some
where in the piece. 81 a

At the same counters are
the Bedford Cords OF light
