It is said that the City Council will submit it's ultimatum to the Water and Light company Monday night week; then if 1t is not accepted the differences between the city and that company will have to be settled i'll the courts. The aim of the Council will be to protect the interests of the private consumers just as much as + does the interests of the city. The propositions made by the Water and Light company, as we learn, are not considered fair. either to the city or private citizens, by those who have studied those propositions.

STICK TO THE FARM.

The Great Northern Bulletin, which
is a very creditable little publication
issued monthly in the interest, pri-
marily, of the Great Northern railroad,
believes that"the farmers of the wide
and fertile praries and woodlands of the
northwest have much to be thankful
for" and in support of it's belief it says:
"They have the very cream of soils,
none better, if equal, in all the world.
In the eastern and southern states farm
ers even now pay more for fertilizers
per acre every year to enliven their
worn places than land can be bought
for in the west. In the old world land
is becoming very scarce. By order of
the government in SaXony and other
German states, last year, land owners
were required to abandon or narrow up
paths and roads and do away with
fences so as to secure more surface for
cultivation. BY this action the report
says from ten to fifteen acres were gain
ed to each section of 500 acres. Around
Paris, gardeners rent rough and stony
places and haul in soil from distant
river bottoms, with the understanding
that they can carry it away at the ex-
piration of their leases. In the islands
of the Mediterranean, much of the
farming land is made up by pulverizing
the stony earth and mixing with it
everything in the nature of soil which

A POSER FOR PROHIBlTIONISTS.

The British Medical Association has
made very careful investigation of the
question of longevity in connection
with the use of alcoholic beverages, and
its report cOntaing some figures which
are both interesting and astonishing, in
view Of the widely entertained opinion
that the use of alcoholic stimulants,ev
moderately, is seldom beneficial and
generally injurious to health Deaths
to the number of 4, 223 34 taken at random
show the average of temperate drinkers
to be 60 years, careless drinkers, SO
years; free drinkers, 81 years; intemper-
ate drinkers, SO years; total abstainers,
81 years. The analysis in the case of
those who reached the age of over 80
shows that Is per cent were total alb
stainers, 10 per cent heavy drinkers and
"A per cent moderate drinkers. Of those
who lived more than 80 years Is per
cent were total abstainers, per cent
were hard drinkers and IS per cent
moderate drinkers. The amount of
alcoholic drink consumed by an intelli-
gent and energetic nation like Gerh1any
is appalling to scientific observer of
the effects of intemperance. From sta
tistics compiled by DR.. Wilhelm Bode,
it is seen that the per capita consumpt-
ion of drink in Germany for 1SS9-9O was:
Wine, a quarts, alcohol, in distilled
liquor, trifie more than a quarts;
beer, 106 quarts, or about six ordinary
kegs. Here we have a civilized, en-
lightened nation in which each person
averages lis quarts of alcoholic drink
every year.

A SUGGESTION IN BANKING.

Edward Atkinson, the eminent sta
tistician, proposes that state banks
should issue certificates of deposit in
small sums, which could be used i'll
stead of bank notes as currency and
thus avoid the 10 per cent tax. He
says:
The certificates would have an advan-
tage in this respect over checks, because
their issue to the depositor would be
evidence that he had credit and that
his account was not OverdraWn. The
certificate would not be in tie form of
a promissory note, however, for that is
subject to the 10 per cent tax, but
would be in the form of a warehouse
receipt, certifying to the actual possess
ion of credit by the holder. They would
be charged against the account Of the
depositor when issued to him, so that
the bank would have practically in its
own possession the means of redemp-
ton. A system like this has already
been proposed by the Hungarian Bank
of Commerce and Industry to make up
for the deficiency of circulation caused
by the withdrawal of the government
paper money of the Austrian empire
This bank is not authorized to issue
circulating notes, but has prepared to
put out books of certificates of deposit
in even amounts, capable of use as a
circulating medium, and to pay inter-
est on deposits until the presentation of
the certificates for redemption.

the peasant farmer can scrape together.
To reclaim and make available for Gull
tivation half or whole acre of ground
is a proud event in the life of an island
peasant.
"This stern necessity has not fallen to
the lot of the farmers of America. Farm
life in this country, particularly III the
west, is picnic compared with agricul-
tural life elsewhere in the world. No
life is freer or more independent than
that of the farm. If it is not so the fault
is with the man and not with the farm.
Legislative enactnents and political
clamor and alurements will not in
crease the number of bushels of grain
or potatoes to the acre, cause the hens
to lay more eggs, nor make the cow
give more milk. The man who makes
the most of the advantages Of farm life
in the west is successful. And he need
not be a slave to do it.
"Western farmers on cheap lands
priced lands Ten dollar land in the
west will produce as much or more than
hundred dollar land IN the east. Land
in the west cannot always remain
cheap. Population is rapidly increas-
ing, without a corresponding increase
in the area of land. The rush made by
men and women to get hold of reserved
lands opened up now and then by the
government shows what a fierce ques-
ton the possession of land will be in
the United States in the course of time.
Even now life and property rights are
disregarded under the promptings of
this fierce hunger for land. The man
who now secures a farm in the nOrtl
west and improves 1t has heritage for
his children. In proof of this we need
only to point to the importance attach
ed to the ownership of land in the
denseIy populated parts of the world"

The distance which derelicts traverse
is much greater than is generally sup
posed. A careful record of observations
has resulted in the preparation of a
chart which shows that the hulk of the
schooner Fannie E. WOlston has drifted
during the last five years, more than
10000 miles. This calculation is based
on forty-six reports of its having been
sighted. Another derelict, which began
its wanderings in 1891, drifted about
$500 miles up to the time it was last
seen, when it had been afiOat 615 days.
The w. l.. White, another floating ter
ror of the sea, roamed over the North
Atlantic for 80 days, covering in that
time about 5000 miles.
