AbOut Farm Villages.

Governor Northen of Georgia is prac-
tical man, every inch of him. He does not
allow the duties OF governor to interfere
with the promise he has made his farmer
friends. His latest idea is farm villages
and it is good one. We see the need OF
it where we live every day. We are too
much isolated and we heartily wish his
practical ideas could be put into effect in
this portion of Florida at least Because
OF the desirability Of increasing the popu-
lation Governor Northen argues that in
dividual farmers must operate on a smaller
scale. They must cultivate smaller farms
and sell their surplus land And in bring
ing about such change he suggests radi-
cal departure from the old system OF isolat-
ing farm houses as much as possible. He
would 60 TO the other extreme and have
the farmers dwell in communities in the
midst of number Of small farms owned
or rented by them. Such system should
not suit farmers who work thousand acre
farms, but IT possesses superior advantages
for those who work small farms, say OF a
hundred acres. And the most important
advantages of all would be that it would
enable the farmers TO enjoy the social and
educational privileges OF which they are &c
greatly in need.
For the building up of such system
Governor Northen proposes that farmers
owning large contiguous tracts of lane
should get together and discuss this sub
ject. If they can agree as to a division O
their lands, let them lay off lines with ref
erence TO q central site for farm village
where the prospective members of thu
farm community may dwell together like
the residents of small village. Or rea

Arago, the great French scientist, was
never seen with a decoration on his
breast. He valued honors slightly. One
evening Leverrier, the astronomer, called
on him on his way to dine with minis
ter. He expressed wish to appear
decorated with an order, to which he
was entitled, having received the official
notice Of the honor, although he had not
as yet the decoration itself.
"Open that drawer" said Arago, "and
take whatever you want"
In that drawer were all the crosses
and ribbons which kings and emperors
confer.
While Arago wished above everything
to promulgate science and to make his
researches useful, he did not attempt to
identify himself forever with his dis
coveries by writing books. He had no
time for writing, but contented himself
with noting the results of his work in the
record of the bureau of longitude, or an
nouncing it verbally to the academy

Obituary..

LOvE.-Helen f. barrow was born
Sept. 9Th, 1889, in Clarendon, Orleans
county, N. Y, and departed this life
Sept. 27th, 1891, at Mattawan, Van Bu-
rem county, Michigan.
She was married June Goth, 1859, to
Burton " Love, with whom she lived
happily until death took her. They
came to Mattawan in the spring of 1860,
where they have since resided. The
cause of the death of the departed was
cancer of the breast, from which she
suffered quietly and uncomplainingly
for years-her affection, until the last
few weeks of her life, being known only
to her husband and physician.
All who have been privileged to know
her testify TO her exceptional purity of
thought and language, her high moral
character aud sublime courage. Bap-
tised in infancy, converted in early life,
she died in full assurance of the hope of
immortal life.
Funeral services were held at the late
home and were largely attended by
friends and neighbors. II. IL. Nj.

Salt Making Among the Chinese.

A wonderful example of patience in
the Chinese is afforded by consular re-
port dealing with the manufacture of
salt in central China. Holes about six
inches in diameter are bored in the rock
by means of primitive form of iron
drill, and sometimes a period of forty
years elapses before the coveted brine is
reached, SO that the work is carried on
from one generation to another. During
this time the boring, as may be imag-
ined, goes down to an immense depth.
When brine is found it is drawn up in
bamboo tubes by rope working over a
large drum turned by bullocks. The
brine is evaporated in iron caldrons, the
heat being supplied by natural gas,
which is generally found in the vicinity
of the salt wells.

for the footwear of celebrities. Among
the things of interest shown are pair
of shoes worn by Martin Luther at the

poleon at the battle of Dresden, and the
jack boots of Peter the Great.-St.
