1T is queer commentary on the
state of affairs that while hundreds
of thousands of men are idle and half
starving in our cities, the farmers Of
the country are crying for help to do
the necessary work on their farms.
In many localities it is impossible to
get farm help at prices that would
have been considered large five years
ago. Is it possible that We are near
ing time when farming will be
which self-respecting men will not
engage in? We hope not, for when
that time comes we will see the be-
ginning Of the end. In old times the
farmer was looked down upon, and
was, in fact, a slave. In many coun-
tries he could not leave the manor
upon which he was born, and was
subjected to any privations or indig-
mites that the owner Of the land felt
like affecting him with. Then, with
civilization, the tiller OF the soil
came to be recognized as an impor-
tant factor In the prosperity Of his
country, and began to receive more
consideration, until within the last
century he has come to the 'front.'
chiefly because OF the high place he
has won for himself in our country.
The American farmer won his place
as one who must be recognized as the
cornerstone Of prosperity, and from
his success the farmers Of all the
civilized world have protlted. 1t is a
noble calling, and it is to b, hoped
that the workers OF our country will
never be SO blind to their own inter-
ests as to begin to despise farm work.
There are places on thousands Of
farms for men to work at a calling
that is no harder than many that are
found in the FORCES and factors OF the
large cities, and IL every farmer who
needs a hired hand could find one
among the idle masses of the cities.
we should hear much less about suf-
fering there.

BURIAL At SEA.



81 can't imagine more oppres-
sively solemn ceremony than o burial
at sea-" said Captain j. A. Denny,
to st. Louis reporter. lit is SOL
emn enough on land, except when
the remains of the late lamented are
being carried from Washington in
charge Of a Congressional committee !;
but q burial at sea surpasses the
ceremony on land in point Of solemn
ity as much as the awful grandeur OF
mid-ocean surpasses the mild, soft
beauty of tranquil lake. Men Of
the sea are not given to sentimental
musings.
1.-The constant menace to life
makes them reckless and ribali.
But when death occurs on board
ship the meek and humble piety
which characterizes both crew and
passengers would do credit to a
Quaker congregation. The great.
desolate stretch of water, with its
mountainous pillows and it's bowling
gales, seems to invest the presence OF
the grim reaper with more merci.
less character and brings to the
minds of the living more realizing
sense of the terrors of death than is
felt on land, with it's houses and
rushing trains and carolling. birds
thrilling trenody from every bough
along the line of march from church
to graveyard. You can depend upon
it, that no matter how rough and
hardened the sailor, he takes off his
hat and bares his head to the pitiless
sky whenever he passes the corpse.
The feeling of oppression which
extends all over the ship when
death occurs is so overpowering that
for this very reason, If for no other,
it is necessary to get rid of the corpse
with all possible speed. And the
getting rid of it is climax to the
tragedy more shocking than anything
the man who has never experienced
it can imagine. The idea of dropping
the cold insensate mass of mortal
clay into the limitless, bottomless
ocean, to be gnawed at and nibbled
by the greedy monsters of the deep
is horrifying to the stoutest heart.
And yet there is ever present to the
captain that horrible realization that
it must be done, and, as everybody
shrinks from doing it, it devolves
upon him to do it with his own
hands.
1.-The body is strapped to bare
board, face up. To the foot Of the
board are attached heavy weights,
usually cannon balls. Then this
board is showed out over the bow OF
the ship by some Of the crew, who,
after doing this, make haste to
scurry back out of sight Of the final
proceedings, leaving no one there
but the captain, whose duty it is to
tip up the board and let it drop into
the sea, feet foremost. Maybe you
think you can sleep after doing that.
II you do, just volunteer to perform
this service for the first captain on
whose boat you are passenger, when
death occurs. assure you that
you won't get any more sleep for
good many nights afterwards"

WHAT strange stories of noble
heartedness we sometimes find related
in little paragraphs tucked away in
the corners of the great daily jour-
nails. Ore day woman was removed
from tenement to q hospital. The
next day q visitor called upon her.
He, her husband, brought little
child in his arms, whose pinched,
pale face, whose thin, emaciated
body too eloquently told the story of
want. Weary from his long walk,
the man sat down in the reception
room. At glance the doctor saw
that both the child and the parent
were weak nigh unto death. A few
skillful questions and the truth came
out. Food had not passed his lips
for days. and only a few moistened
crumbs of stale bread had passed
the child's. In his pocket he had
portion of loaf. 1t was hard and
stale. "Why did you not eat this?"
asked the doctor of the famished
man. 81 brought it to her." he whis-
pered, hoarsely. Not knowing that
food was supplied to the sick, this
poor creature had dragged his wretch
ed, famished body many miles over
the city's pavement, bearing in his
arms his dying child, that she, his
wife, might share his crumbs with
him! What could be more pitifnl?
What deed of heroism, applauded by
q boisterous world with the waving OF
flags and the booming of cannon, can
be more noble than this act of gentle
consideration, tender solicitude and
absolute self-sacrifice?

one reason why so many houses of
