Perhaps we may apply this freely

book for Farmers, on the principles
and Practice of Farm Draining. By
Manly Miles, NJ D., f. r. NJ. S.,
Author of Stock Breeding, ''6iIos,
Ensilage and Silage," etc, etc. New
York: Orage Judd Company, 1892
Upwards of 200 PIP, H., 12mo., cloth
price 81.
A book on flrm draining is evident
" needed as the present time, to bring
within reach of practical farmers the
established principles and advantages
of thorough drainage, and the best and
most economical method Of makng
farm drains.
In this Handbook for Farmers, the
aim has been to present the leading
facts Of practical Significance, in con
nectiOn with q popular discussion Of
the applications Of science, and the re
suits Of experiments relating to drain
ing have been summarized in tables il
convenient form for reference, which
furnish ready answers to many of the
economic questions that will be sug
gested to the intelligent farmer.
An outline OF the history of draining
is given to illustrate the progress Of
discovery and invention IN developing
correct principles of practice, and the
directions for laying tiles, which are
the result of an extended experience III
draining under widely different condi
tion5, are confidently recommended as
a decided Improvement on former
methods.

The paradox is in the prices

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN DICKIE MAKES
an Address in WILMINGTON.-N
tional Chairman Dickie of the Probib.
ition party addressed mass meeting
in Institute Hall on Saturday evening
The Rev. J. B. Qu!gg presided.
Mr.. Dickie in his address said that
the story that hard times are always due
to over production is not true. There
are always thousands who are starry
ing and need clothing and food. IF
the liquor traffic was stopped there
would be no Over-production.
Prohibition is of more Importance
than the tariff or any other issue on
which the Republican ard Democra bic
parties are divided. There is no hone
OF seeing prohibition in Delaware until
1t can be carried by party that is not
controlled by liquor men. The Prohi-
OitlOuists want the good men of both
parties to join them.
Mr.. Dickie complained of the fact
that the Democratic party in Delaware
was controlled by a determined and
wicked minority. The Probibtion
party he said was willing to wait for
victory, and it was bound to come.

Journalism in japan.

Constitutional government has had a
remarkably beneficial effect on journal
ism in Japan, for, while several years
ago the papers there were few and far
between, and very poor, it is fact that
last year there were as many as $50
Japanese newspapers and other period
icals, and in the city of Toxic alone
there were seventeen political dailies
with a weekly circulation of over 1,00o,-
900 copies, besides weekly and monthly
publications devoted to progress, science,
literature, the fine arts and social affairs.
Japan, which is at once very ancient
and ever youthful, has become one of
the great newspaper reading countries
of the world.

A relic of great interest may be exhib-

less than the old log house in which
James Buchanan was born and which
still remains at Stony Batter, Franklin
county, Pa, in good state of preserve
ton. The Rev. R. L. McCune, of Mer-
cersburg, Is now its owner, it having been
purchased by Mr.. Jacob McCune, his
father, about sixty years ago. He num-
bered all the logs, took the house apart
and re-erected it on the same site. The
house is 20 by 90 feet square, of hewn
logs, and ~ stories high.

A Row Over the Time.

The introduction of Greenwich time
at Brussels causes great confusion. The
Brussels burgomaster and the towns
people refuse to make any change on ac-
count of local custom, while the govern
ment insists that Greenwich time shall
be observed on the railways and in all
state departments. Unless some COM
promise is made, any visitor to the Bel
gian capital will be sorely perplexed to
fix the time of day, there being differ
ence of seventeen minutes between the
government or Greenwich time and the
