FARMERS!

Now, Mr.. Farmer, what have
you to say! Didn't the Canton
Disc Cultivator put in your oats,
and put them in nicelys Other
people would not warrant their
Disc Cultivators to pillow in oats
and work in corn stalks. They
said no Disc will do to put in
oats with; wonder what they
think now? Over 1900 acres of
oats in Audrain County have
been plowed in this season with
Canton Discs and they are still
blowing. Again allow us to re-
peat, "The Canton Disc is the
only Cultivator that will work
in the oats land, rough or smooth,
corn stalks or no corn stalks"
The Canton IS not a cheap pillow.
You can buy cheaper cultiva-
tors, but the Canton Disc Cult
vator is the best disc made to
date. G.. L. FERRIS.

MADE OF THE RIGHT STUFF.

The performance Of The night watch
man at the state prison yesterday morn
ing, in capturing the prisoner who was
trying TO escape. was entirely worthy of
being commsmorated.
1t was the act of man without fear.
The test that was applied to Watch
man Armstrong was more severe than
is often applied to anybody. He had
the alternative of neglect of duty or
death. He chose death. and by the ex-
ercise of quick wit, great GOODNESS and
prompt action he was able to avert the
fate that he was threatened with aud
that appeared inevitable.
There was not one chance i'm ten for
the life Of the watchman when he was
threatened by the convict. He was
utterly in the power of the man who
had deliberately planned to escape, and
had expected to have to fight for the
liberty he craved.
But Armstrong never wavered. Not
only did he refuse the demand made
upon him for his keys, but he notified
the maddened man who had him at his
mercy that the struggle was one of life
and death.
There is not Taw in the splendid
record for heroism that Eugene w.
Armstrong made yesterday. He deserves
the gratitude and he thanks OF the
state, rs his courage undoubtedly saved
us from disorganized state prison, and
the consequent loss Of life and ruin of
discipline at the prison. 1t is such SER
vice as his that makes the reputation of
the institution at C.anston SO much
above that of the prisons of some of
the other states.

OUR CORPORATE INTERESTS.

The enormous increase in the aggre-
gate wealth Of this city and state is
rarely brought to the attention of the
people in a manner so forcible as by the
detailed account elsewhere in this issue
OF corporation whose chief promoters
are residents Of Providence and Rhode
Island.
The transactions in the corporate in.
terests of the city have been recently
OF more than usual magnitude, and yet
it is our steadily growing prosperity
that attracts capital to our investments
and the steady accumulatious Of savings
and profits that make that prosperity
possible. The Mathieson Alkali works
is company whose product is one of
the most important factors in the
great bleaching interests that center
around the Narragansett bay. New
Bedford, Fall River, Providence
and Pawtucket are known the world
over for bleached cotton goods, and the
formation of a company which seems
so exceptionally well situated and prom
ises to be so well managed will mean
many thousands of dollars TO this state
in the way of reduced cost of materials,
and at the same time bring large
amounts of money to local capitalists in
the form of dividends
Providence is growing rapidly, but
we occasionally turn milestone of
this kind, and when we do little pride
in our prosperity and the energy of our
citizens is pardonable.

A NEW COLLEGE PLAN.

The Tufts college faculty has devised
a radical change in the curriculum of
the university, The system, although
not original in all its component parts,
is still decided novelty, and, as far as
Eastern colleges are concerned, is an
absolute innovation.
The customary method of securing a
be-ribboned diploma is to get through,
with all the words "get through" con-
vey, a.course Of prescribed and elective
studies continuing over four years.
Time and not the amount Of knowledge
acquired is the present desideratum.
Under the new plan a student can
get his degree in three years if he is
entitled to it by the quality and guam
tity of his work, while it may take him
five or six years to attain the coveted
parchment. BY this plan the ambitious
student receives recompense for his
endeavors, while the slothful or the
negligent get their just deserts.
The studies are presented in groups
instead of as is usually the case by sub
jects. The groups number five--Eng-
lish, languages, mathematics, science
and a group embracing mental and
moral sciences. Three languages of
six term hours each must be taken in
the language group, twelve term hours
in the English group, and six respect
lively in mathematics, mental and
moral sciences, and science. the
last-named including chemistry, ply
sizes and biology, of which only one
subject need be taken. When the elec.
tive studies are reached at the close of
the first year the student is required TO
choose one speciality, in which he must
do eighteen term hours of wor before
graduation. in addition the student
fills out his program by election from
other courses. One hundred and twenty.
six term hours are required in all.
While the virtues of the system have
yet TO be shown by practical results it
appears TO be good departure from ex-
isting systems. IL permits general cul-
ture while at the same time it seems to
necessitate faithful work. 1t would
appear to be a system that will make il
less likely that students who barely
squeeze through their examinations
should fare as well in the matter of de-
grees as their more diligent companions
who secure high honors. II this proves
to be the result, the change is to be
commended.

bacteriologist stated in this city recent
lr, If memory serves us, that the cholera
germs do not increase in impure water,
but tend rather to decrease gradually.
Water is certainly q medium for the
spread of cholera germs, and all other
disease germs, and whether or not they
are bred and multiplied in the water
does not alter the fact that they ought
to be kept out of the water that we are
obliged TO use for domestic purposes.
II is easy to make out bad case for

There are long chances to be taken II
filtration is relied upon as sufficient
remedy. 1t can scarcely be said that 1T
has been proven to be effective III cases
needing such radical remedy as the
Pawtuxet does. The safe thing to do
seems to be to provide for pure supply
by taking it above the point of beginning
corruption. This means long and
very costly process. 1t will take long
time to bring the city to the point OF
authorizing it and providing the funds
for it. Then it will take long time to
do the work.

pears that the spring water dealer has
