by all the wise and great who are in
the habit Of receiving strangers.
Apparently he satisfied himself that
was not wholly sterile soil, for he
soon let himself 20 with vengeance.
1t was rs II he had just thought out =
great problem and must case his bosom
# its pcrilous stuff. "rhe popular re-
ligion,: he said in substance. ''is based
ON the assumption that the Great
nre is under infinite obliga-
tiOns to the creator. and he
under none at all. But consider.
Begin with the relationship between
earthly parent and child. Who o,dains
that, and the child's existence, too?
The child? No; the parent. Then is
not the burden OF responsibility and
duty heaviest ON the fathers s;de?"
There was nothing to say to this,
and he went on, growing SO earnest
and elOquent that the words burned
themselves into my memory. His
prcmises-for the mOment-scemcd or
thodox enough, whatever heresy might
lurk in his conclusion. .'Pass from the
human to the heavenly relation. and it
seeps to me the argument is not weak

remember that we are infinitely weak,
and He is infinitely stroug. that lie is
infinitely wise and we are infinitely
ignorant and foolish, that we are in
finitely sinful. and he is infinitely
holy, think that, whatever our ohli-
cations to Him. Ills to US arc infinitely
greater"
This rather took my breath away.
Had been older and wiser l might
have suggested that his argument
knocked the underpinning from all the
received systems lie would probably
have answered that that was what he
meant it to do, and that Christianity
was old enough to walk without
crutchcs. II had asked him to GO a
step further and solve the terrible
question he had led up to, think he
would have said: Certainly. His
obligations to us are infinite, and-He
discharges them" Under all his sur

To Eradicate NutRrass.

Probably the best practical remedy
for eradicating one of the worst pests
of southern agriculture, the nutgrass,
is the following one: On every twenty
or twenty five acres keep not less than
fifty sheep and sevcnty-five head of
hogs, or proportionatc number on a
smaller or larger tract The keeping
of both kinds of stock is necessary.
The hogs root up the nuts and expose
them to the sun, and the sheep keep
the growth, whenever it occurs. con-
tinually cropped. SO that this trouble
some pest is soon entirely eradicated.
For the above amount of stock, addi-
tional feed obtained on adjoining land,
or furnished otherwise, will be neces
sary.-Fsrm and Firesile.

The Recreation Of . Stout Lady with =
Flow OF Language.
When the stout lady entered the
elevated 1T Fourteenth street she sat
down on the left-hand seat facing the
engine. There were little touches of
finery about her dress, whose presence
was explained when she caught sight
of an acquaintance on the other side
of the car and immediately plunged
across the aisle and sat down beside her.

promised that as soon as she got back
from her tower I'd run across and see
her, and this morning Mrs Ebler told

She had large, limp mouth, and

Now that common stock horses are
so low that in places they are being

What the farmer of moderate

The desire to possess q large landed es-
tate SO as to show up we'll on the tax
rolls, is very handsome in theory, but
it is bad in practice.
No doubt the open winter weather
in the cotton-growing states consti.
tutes an inducement for the working
farmer Of the south to keep so con.
stantly at work with his hands, that
he reads too little, especially one or
more good agricultural papers. lie
ought to work more with the head.
The unification of the work of the

that each years experience can I've

NAPoLEoN's OPPORTUNITIES


to Power.
It was rare good fortune that Ruona-
parte was not yet to be cast into the
secthing caldrcn of French politics.
The time was not yet ripe for the exer-
else of his powers. The storminR Of
the Isastille had symbolized the over
throw of privilege and absolute mon
archy: the fight Of the king meant the
overthrow of monarchy. absolute or
otherwise. The executive gone. the
legislature popular and democratic,
but ignorant how to administer or con-
duct affairs, the judiciary equally dis
organized, and the army Transforming
itself into a patriotic organization
was there more to come? Yes Thus
far. in spite of well-meant attempts to
substitute new constructions for
the old, all had been disintegration.
French society was to be reorganized
only after further pulverizing; cohe-
sion would begin only under pressure
from without-a pressure applied by
the threats of cratic royalists that
they would bring in the foreign pow
ers to coercc and arbitrate, by the nc
tive demonstrations Of the cmigrants,
by the outbreak of foreign wars.
These were the events about to take
place; they would in the end evolve
from the chaos of mob.rule first the
irregular and temporary Dictatorship
nf the convention. then the tyranny of
the directory; at the same time they
would infuse fervor of patriotism in
to the whole mass of the French ma
tion. stunned, helpless, and leaderless,
but loyal, brave, and vigorous. In such
a crisis the people would tolerate il not
demand q man strong to command re-
spect for France and to enforce
his commands. would prefer the
vigorous mastery Of one to
the feeble misrule of the many or
the few. Still further, the man was as
unready rs the time; for it was, in all
probability, not as q Frenchman, but
as an evcr-truc Corsican patriot that
Buonaparte wished to ''show himself,
overcome obstacles" at this eonjunc-
ture.
On July %, 1871, the national assem-
bly, ut last decided to form = paid vol
unteer national guard of . hundred
Thousand men. The term of enlistment
was year. Four battalions were to
be raised in Corsica; Buonsparte
thought the hour for realizing his long
cherished aspirations had finally
struck. He could certainly have done
much in Paris to secure Office in .
national guard, and
on receipt of the news he Immediately
wrote . memorandum on the armament
of the new force. and with character
istic assurance addressed il to the min
ister of war.
When. however. three weeks later
40. 179l). his leave Of absence
arrived, he had abandoned all idea Of
service under Franco in the Corsiean
guard. The disorder Of the times was
such that while retaining oAice in the
French army he could test in IN indie
pendent Corsican command the pnssi-
bility Of climbing 70 Leadership there

ordinate place in France. Fall Of the

Cut Straw and EgRs.

An old farmer who secures eggs all
through the winter, when asked for
his secret, replied that he gave his
hens plenty of cut straw. For awhile
there was much unbelief in the reply,
rs it was supposed that the farmer
was feeding cut straw to his hens (ac-
cording to his statcment); but when
the facts came out it appeared that the
cut straw was really the secret, but il
was used, four inches deep. ON the
floor Of the poultry-house, in which
millet seed and wheat were scattered,
the hens thereby being provided with
a warm place to work. The cut straw
gave them scratching and il
kept them in exercise. prevented dis.
ease, and promoted the appetite.
1t will pay better, if the matter Of
profit from returns is considered, to
use straw in the poultry-house than in
the cow-stalls. Many cold poultry
houses can be rendered comfortable
with straw, cut to threc-inch lengths,
on the floor; and il the hens are warm
and can exercise, the cost will be less
and the number of eggs greater

The culture of tobacco rs a market
crop is q new industry for the gulf

rior quality can he grown on any of the
sandy soils of the coast region.
The culture of rice as u market crop
is also new industry for the gulf
states 1t las been demonstrated in
southwest Louisiana, in the last few
years that it can be successfully grown
there, and pays large profits to the
producer.
The large sugar interest of the rich
and beautiful Bayou Tcsche country.
which Longfellow has immortalized in
"Evangeline." And the finer sugar
lands of the Brazos river country of
south Texas, all bear witness to the
fact that money can l,a made clear
each year from the production of this
crop.
A number of these interests can be
successfully worked together, and will
certainly give large returns to the
right man. The wonder is that so few
men are aliv. to the work which can be
accomplished, and made TO yield them
a competency, and SO many waste their
energies on a system of farming where
an educated man is forced to compete
with ignorant, unskillcd labor, and
find himself discouraged, in debt, and
possibly financially ruined. = James

The A,t sehool Anniversary.

The closing of the academic year in the Yale School of Fine Arts will be marked by the usual exhibit of the work of the students and in addition there will be on exhibition in the south gallery considerable collection of Jap anese prints, loaned by several promi- nent collectors; these will remain on view until after commencement. These prints are by many of the most famous Japanese artists-Kiyomitse Harn- nobu, Kiyouaga, Shun-sho, Koriusai, Shunsau, Utarmaro, Toyo-Kuni, Toyo- Curo, Yirshi, Yei-zan, Shin-yi, Hoku- sai Hiroshige and others.
 The marked influence of Japanese art on the art of western Europe in re- cent years, particularly in France, and more recently in this country-giving, it may be said, an initial impulse to the new movement known as "impres- sionism" has occasioned a wider inter- est in the study of the pictorial art of Japan. The collection that will be on view is valuable one, principally se- lected from the portfolios of Howard Mansfield, J. Alden Weir Tozo Tohay- anagi and other collectors, The color ing of some of these prints is simply marvellous. It Is easily seen that in comparison with the exquisite refine ment of the oriental color-sense, our western ideas are crude and barbarous, and We have much to learn from the study of such examples as will be found in this collection.
 The anniversary address, on the oc- casion of the termination of the school year in this department of the univer- sity will be given by MT. Ernest F. Fem ellosa, curator of the Japanese depart ment of the Boston Museum of Art. MT. Fenollosa will take for his subject Japanese Art" and in connection with the interesting exhibits in the south gallery, no doubt his lecture, which will be Illustrated with the stereoptican, will be highly instructive. Owing to the limited space in the lecture-room, admission will be by card, and the ad- dress on Friday evening will be fol- lowed by an informal reception.
