A Scheme for the UNEMPLOYED.

Mr.. Harold +. Moore has an interesting article
on the Unemployed and the Land in the Con-
temporary RericW. He describes the various
farm colonies which exist at the present moment
and then points his practical conclusion on a sur
vey of the whole matter. He criticiSes at some
length the result of the Salvation Army expert
ment at Hadleigh. He thinks that it is possible
the colony will be able to pay its way, although
TO do so 1t ought to make surplus of $4,000 a
year. He thinks that the Salvation Army has
shown that the unemployed men will work at
the hardest labor. such us digging gravel or exca-
waiting foundations. The residence in the colony
has better fitted men physically. mentally and
morally to obtain Independent maintenance in
the future
AS a result of his examination of the various
systems of restoring the labor to the land he
says: 1t is evident that if this be practicable it
must be in one of three different ways-viZ, Ell
Their by the men becoming: 1, Independent ten
ants of small holdings collected together with
the view of obtaining the advantages of cOopera-
ton in working their land and dealing with the
produce: or. ., labOrerS banded together into
community and working under the direction of an
elected committee having control of the neceSSa-
ry capital: or, 3. laborers employed by ndividu-
ais or organizations finding the requisite money!
He diSmsseS the first two as impracticable
and expresses his approval of the third method,
by which work could be given to any man who,
being destitute, is prepared to give his services in
exchange for his maintenance only and assist him
in every way possible while on the farm, in order
that in the future he may lie able to get a better
livelihood. The first thing to be done is to get
suitable estate, upon which it will be necessary
to spend $50 per acre before breaking up the
;,,l-,
worked by from 100 to 125 men, with occasional
steam power. He calculates that its produce
would sell for $4,000 a year. The interest and
ordinary expenses, excluding hard labor would
absorb one-half of that sum, leaving $2O 900 avail
able for the ratiOns of the unemployed. He
thinks that capital expenditure of $15OOOO
would be required for a farm colony upon which
800 men would be employed The London Coun-
ty Council has recently spent 100000 in provid-
ing lOdging-house for 800 men, and he hopes

If it were not that the elections were

is no solid strength whatever to- support

Some Werl. 70 . Preacher.

odihimself earnok mako q world in which
the sarsxian exists side by side with man. Sau-
rians are tho best possible forms Of life at one
stage. yet impossible at the next.-Baccalau-
reate Sermon Of Rev. DIR. Rainsford Of New
York Before the Harvard Graduating Class,
June 49,.
Here is an error. For man can exist
side by side with the saurian, and there is
scientific ground for believing that he
was a contemporary Of saurians which
became extinct ages upon ages ago.
What we chiefly desire to say at this
moment, however, is that we object to
the habit in which many preachers, in.
cluding Dr.. Rainsford, indulge of telling
their hearers that '.God himself cannot
do something. or other. There is no NOR
tai who knows of the divine power ol
who can form any conception of it. II
is infinite and eternal, words which are
beyond the comprehension of the human
intellect. By looking through tele
scope DR.. Rainsford may behold some o.

pass with reason, OF imagination, and HI
need not look beyond the earth upor
which he treads to. behold others mort

question, "Canst thou by searching fint

A Problem That Is q Problem.

A group Of gentlemen were gathered
about the desk engaged in earnest en-
deavors to figure out mathematical
problem brought over by a prominent
young member Of the New York bar,
who stands to lose 800 on wager if
his own solution is wrong. Here it is:
A column Of troops 25 miles longis or
dered to point 25 miles distant. A
courier starts simultaneously with the
rear of the colump and reaches the head
thereof. Returning, he meets the rear
of the cOfRmD at the point where the
head originally was. Both the troops
and the courier are to travel at a uni
form rate Of speed How many miles
does the courier traversef
It looks simple. The young New York
er said it was simple and that ii didn't
take mathematical sharp to figure that
the courier jpurneyed even 50railes. The
man who made the bet with him was a
Philadelphian, and he called in Professor
Thunder, a teacher of mathematics, said
to be the greatest expert m the Quaker
City. The professor figured at it awhile
and said it was plain that the courier
covered over so miles. but Just how much
more he wouldn't undertake. to say Off
