Rev Dr F. E. Clark has just started on his journey around the world in the in- terests of the Christian Endeavor society. He sailed from San Francisco for Aus tralia, August 19 and will spend a month in Australia attending various Christian Endeavor conventions in the different colonies. He will then visit Japan, China, India, Syria and Turkey, in all of which countries meetings have been arranged in the interest of the society. In many of these lands, the society is already firmly rooted and missionaries find it of as much value as pastors in the home churches. In Australia, the society is growing with the same marvellous rapid- ity as in America. Dr Clark's purpose is not so much to establish societies, for this is always left to the pastors and churches, but his wish is to study the missionary problem, especially as it is re- lated to young peoples societies and to see what adaptation may be necessary to promote the growth of the movement in missionary lands. Meetings have also been arranged for Dr Clark in Paris and Berlin, also in San Sebastian, Spain, and in various places in England and the last meeting which he will attend before leav- ing for America in season for the conven- tion in Montreal will be the National British Christian Endeavor convention in June of '93.

It is a difficult matter to SOW the seed just right, for it generally comes up too thin, which makes the onions grow too large for profitable marketing. The tops blast down, if too thick. Reds have risen to $3 a barrel. Potatoes have met the blight and are being dug. They are a good crop, but are grub eaten to some extent. They are quoted at $l 75 a bar rel. rl

In that case. when you meet with another honest man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to him, enjoining him to discharge the debt by like operation when he shall be able and shall meet with another opportunity.

Beauties of the Law.

A countryman walked into the office of a lawyer, one day and began his applica- tion:
 ''Sir, have come to get your advice in a case that is giving me some trouble"
 ''Well, what is the matter"'
 Suppose, now," said the client, ''that a man had spring of water on his land, and his neighbor living below should build dam across the creek through both farms and it was to back the water up into the other mans spring, what ought to be done?"
 ''Sue him, sir; sue him, sir, by all means" said the lawyer, who always be- came excited in proportion to the aggra- vation of his clients. "You can recover heavy damages, sir, and the law will make him pay we'll for it. Just give me the case, and I will bring the money from him.
 But stop," cried the terrified appli- cant for legal advice; tits l that have built the dam, and it's neighbor Jones that owns the spring, and he threatens to sue me-"
 The keen lawyer hesitated a moment before he tackled his ship and kept on.
 'Ah! well, sir, you say you built a dam across that creek. What sort of dam was it."
 ''It was d mill dam."
 "A mill dam for grinding grain, was it?"
 "Yes, it was just that.''
 ''And it is good neighborhOod mill, is it:"
 ''So it is, strand you may we'll say so."
 And all your neighbors bring their grain to be ground, do they?'
 ''Ies; all but Jones'"
 ''Then it is a great public convenience, is it not?''
 "To be sure it is. 1 would not have built it but for that. It is so far superior to any other mill, sir.''
 And now," said the old lawyer, "you tell me that man Jones is complaining just because the water from the dam hap pens to put back into his little spring, and he is now threatening to sue you? Well,a have to say is, let him sue ,and he will rue the day as sure as my name is Barnes"
