Under the title 1.-THE Final Effort of
Theology, an account of the oppo-
sition to Darwin that was made by
misguided theoiogians will be given
by Andrew ID. White in The Popular
Science Monthly for June. Now that
not only Darwinism but the whole
evolutionary doctrine is generally ac-
copied, the violent defamation against
it OF generation ago reads like a

PENS FOR LAMBlNG MEs.-It has
been our experience thatlight, strong,
close pens, say feet stuare and 2%
feet square, are best for bling ewes.
They can be carried by ne man and
placed over eve in theIshcd, yard or
pasture. They will be found very
handy and always read for use. A
sick sheep can be treated readily in such
a PEN In addition to rtting ewes to
lamb in flock by themsd ves, as fast as
they come in they shol lid be put in
the 'lambed flock" and receive
ceive appropriate ate tion. If the
quarters are crowded THY may still be
divided by putting ewe with strong
lambs, say week old, tito flock by
themselves and given ahaily run in a
field of growing rye or wheat. Here
they will receive some green feed and
have plenty of milk for their lambs.
The lambs, too, will son begin to
nibble fresh green SHOES and grow
off beautifully. Soth Dakota

FEATHERED ECONOMIES. Fowls are
great economizers by natural ipclina-
ton, for they gather mu4 fer their
own sustenance, that would, were it
not for their industrious habits, be
lost. Not a kernel of scattered grain
that lies within their re9h, escapes
their vigilance and they aather every
crumb that may be thrswl out with
the utmost frugality. Besides, the
bugs and insects which sd annoy the
farmer by the ravages the y make on
his crops, are excellent fdDd for poul-
try and they gather thes diligently.
Really it is because deprived of such
food in winter, that fowls need greater
variety in the daily ratibns which we
provide for them. 1t is plain then
that while gathering valuable article
of food for themselves, they are rid
ding their owners of a great nuisance.

The Raoaas Quastion.

distinguished teacher. who has had
forty years experience In Richmond as
sures US that full hours recess never
was In vogue here in his time: half an
hour was always the limit OF the re-
cess, so far as he can recollect. He also
says that an hours recess would cause
the school TO close so late that neither
teachers nor pupils would have the ne
cessary recreation after school hours.
Our recollection is different from our
friends; but never mind about that. 1t
must be conceded that recess to be
beneficial ought 70 give pupils time
enough to- get lunch and have some little
exercise. Does this recess now provided
90 this7 We think not. II IL the common
opinion that II does not. Then II should
be extended. To make 1t three quarters
Of an hour-if full hour be ont of the
Question-would prove great help.
Surely this much could be granted. and
IL ought not to necessitate the extension
OF school hours beyond L. NJ
1t seems TO us that school children
are required 10 study much harder now
than they had to do quarter OF n
century ago. 1t IL a driving age. and
the scholar Is not exempt from this error
of the era. His studies are more difficult
and numerous than ever before. and he
is showed forward faster Besides It
must be remembered that pupils in the
public schools have rein upon them all
through school hours, frightened TO de-
gree that was never known In private
schools in the olden time. No doubt
the rigid discipline which CLUES the
scholar to his seat and demands of him
a nxity OF position for so many hours
of the day is a necessity where there are
so many scholars TO be controlled: but
il makes long recess more than ever
desirable.
Reforms to be lasting must be made grad
ually, especially In a conservative COM
n.unity like this. and. knowing this. surely
IL is not too much TO ask that the recess
hour he extended from one half TO three
quarters Of an hour This would be a step
In the right direction, and we believe it
would be practical
In our opinion, no good would DC loSt
If the childrens studies were abridged,
so as TO give a full hours recess. but we
can scarcely hope to convert our school
authorities to this view; certainly not at
zone jump" as il were.
Under existing arrangements the pupil
gets home about o'clock. and gets din
ncr Then there is a few hours time
for play and this is all the exercise that
the average scholar gets in the twenty
four hours. because the supper hour is
soon at hand. and after supper the pupil
has To study the morrow's lessons.
And thus the child has a continual
round Of rigid discipline and hard work,
relieved only by the little exercise OBJ
ta!nable between dinner and supper. SO
we say extend the recess; extend 1t at
least quarter of an hour which. we
judge. would be practicable and unlikely
TO disturb greatly the even tenor of any
body's way.
