Old Time ~'Reyiewing."

The first age Of the great modern re-
views and magazines was an age of kicks
and rough horseplay. Party spirit ran
high under the regency. and literary
criticism, SO far from being the .'disin-
terested'' affair which Matthew Arnold
demands, was avowedly run upon polit-
icai lines. Libel suits and challenges
rained upon magazine editors. Jeffrey
and Moore went through the forms Of a
duel. The Chaldee manuscript had to be
suppressed in the second edition, and
cost Mr.. Dlackwood a thousand pounds
as it was. Aggrieved persons lay in wait
for editors III the street.

giving Just time enough for the wild
flowers to grow, to bloom and to fade
away, and barely time for the husband
man to collect his harvest, which. how
ever, is sometimes nipped by a summer
frost.
A few weeks after the midnight sun
has passed the hours Of sunshine shorten

the air becomes chilly and the nights
colder. although during the day the sun

MANAGING ENcLls- FAaMs.

The Results of an Intelligent and capable
LIANT owner in England.
Mr.. w. j. Harris gives a most helpful
and interesting account OF the H1lNll.
manor estate. This was poor land and
much of it was untouched for long PERI
DDS. being treated as u summer run Tor
cattle. The investor. Mr.. Harris. was
tempted at tirst to do what at that time
was generally done by landlords-coh-
kolidate farms, pull down old cottages
and in fact generally reduce the avail
able population and labor on the land.
Several farms fell in soon after Mr.
Harris purchase of the estate, but he
was converted" by observing that.
where the landlord or the farming ten
ant had allowed the cottagers to Guilt
vate the land Immediately around them,
the value of the land had been doubled
by the laborer without indeed any guar
antee of permanent residence.
Instead of destroying. the new landlord
built and repaired. and having farms on
his hands was enabled to cut of certain
fields and allot them o cottagers. Small
farms grew up and the larger oaes We're
reduced. Thus Land was let that other
wise would not have been-moorland IN
closures. for ;nstaace-andit WAS onthese
that the value of the system made itself
at once apparent
Land not valued at more than five
shiliings per acre in its rough state be-
came. when MEADOW land, worth from
thirty to fifty shillings. and as the cot
taces We're IN demand the population
increased, sad farmers knowing that
labor could always be obtained took the
large farms. reduced though they We're.
Wages have risen from ten and eleven
shillings to twelve and fourteen shillings
per week.
Mr.. Harris says he made the mistake
of working his vacant farms with bail
ifs, thinking. as the land was i'll low
condition. he might do it better h a
tenant. But. as he lays. it is the laborer
who knows best and who succeeds, pro-
yided he has not more land than he can
manage. One of these small holders now
has fifty acres and gives occasional EN-,
ployment.
One secret Of the small farmers sue.
cess is that one man works on his farm
for no wages at all, and that is the farm
er himself. The small farmers help eacl
other. and they seldom let a crop stand
too late or get b~ehindhand. as is the fash
ion with III misguided men. who I'M
derman their large farms and depend OF
outside labor for chronic emergencies
The harm that a large landowner can do
by farming meanly is in~calculable.-

The new member from Amaroogia
count arose to address the chair. It
was the first time he had essayed to oc-
cupy the attention of the house, and ever
eye was turned upon him. Nothing was
known Of his ability as a public speaker,
but from the fact that he was spoken Of
by the Amaroogia papers as a rising man
and that he had come to the Legislature
with q majority Of more than 1000 over
all his competitors 1t was conjectured
that he was a representative who would
make his mark.
His appearance confirmed the impress
sion. He stood e 6 feet high.
straight as an arrow, his eye was keen
and piercing. and he glanced fearlessly
about the house as if counting a trial OF

It Is sometimes q fault of young peo-
pie to rely too fully upon their own opin-
ions or impressions, and there are grown
people who are quite too sure regarding
matters to which they have given little
attention. A passenger on a French
steamer tells this story:
The wind was fresh. and we were run
ming at the rate of 10 knots an hour.
Our mariners were deceived in their cal
citations, and as the lead did not indi-
cate the proximity Of the coast they were
expected to approach they concluded
that the currents had carried us into the
channel. One morning at break OF day
l heard the captain exclaim:
II see breakers through the mist"
NJ. de rAiguille, an officer Of superior
merit, who nevertheless displayed some-
times too Euch of the confidence OF
youth, replied with a smile, ''Those
breakers, captain, are nowhere but IN
your glass"
ssYoung man." said our old captain,
with y tone Of anger, 'you are major
general to the squadron and may give IT
the orders you think proper, but l know
what I have to do. 1t is ! who answer

fore give orders to tack. for there is not
. moment to be lost"
He accordingly gave that order. and
during its execution, the fog having sud.
denly cleared away, We perceived al
about 200 yards from US the rocks agains'
which a feet would inevitably hav'
perished. Fortunately the whole squad
ron initiated the movement of yes
