| Paper read by ID. y. Parker before the

IN all the undertakings of life man has a
theory as to the right method of attaining an
end, but when he attempts to put his theory
into pratice, how many things come in that
were not seen IN the beginning, So, when the
result Is worked out, If il is worked out, the
methods have been 80 different from the
way marked out by the theory with which he
started that il would hardly seem that they
bear any resemblance to each other. 1t Is
quite easy for US in the winter to plan the
work for the coming summer; but how diff
cult when summer comes to execute these
plans. So, instead of planting a field to corn
or potatoes about the middle of May, rs We
intended. we sow to buckwheat in midSum.
mer, or to flat turnips still later. What shall
We say then; have no ideal work without a
theory or plan? By no means let Us think
and know what we are trying to accomplish
have our ideal high and strive with all the
energy we possess to reach it.
Whether II be in the every day pursuits of
life, or in the higher realms of moral and
spiritual attainment, We should aim at moth
ing short of perfection. For, though it is
easy TO fall below our ideal, we shall never
rise above it. If we do not aim high, our
attainments will be meager indeed We
after hear the theory advanced that it is no
more difficult to bay butter according TO the
grade than II Is wheat. If that theory is cor
rect, butter would be bought and graded a.
wheat and other grains are; for the mer-
chants are Just as anxious to buy one on a |
paying basis a. the other. or would be { |
there was AS much at stake in one case a in |
the other, and just As soon a. they think il Is
for their financial interest they will doubtless
make the attempt. They are not doing bust
ness as philanthropists or for their health but
have all they can do to make a living and
show balance on the right side of the ledger
It may be said it is their duty to grade
butter; Justice to their customers demands
{. Bot II is said duty does not lead in two
directions at the same time; and after a man
invests all his capital and his credit a. well,
n a store and stock of goods, il would seem
duty he owes himself, his family, and his
reditors, that he do all he honestly can to
meet these obligations. To do this he must
ave customers and be careful not TO offend:
o he bears injury and insult and even takes
n poor butter with a smile that is childike
nd bland" This butter question a. well as
ther questions is easier solved in theory than

CANYONS OE STONE.
Defenses of the Fortress OF NIalts Cut out
OF the Lixing Rock.


The most wonderful cannons on
record are those which are described
by Byrdone, whose travels i'm Sicily and
Malta won well-deserved renown
toward the end of the last century.
Many facts and stories he recounts that
seem strangely old-world 20 US,
though the date is little more than one
hundred years ago. So graudly did the
French revolution transform Europe.
Malta was full OF wonders, more or
less droll, while the knights held il,
but nothing equaled the stone guns.
Everybody knows that the fortifca-
tions were cut ont of solid rock. but
Brydone was right in saying that
kind OF ordnance used go defend them
was unknown TO all the world besides.
As we understand his description. the
knights left a great block of stone
whore they followed ont an embrasure
in the cliff, which aftcrward they
shaped aud bored i'm the form OF a
gigantic mortar. These engines con-
tanned whole barrel Of cunpowder.
That ,hoveled in, they plugged it with
a great piece of wood, fitted exactly 20
the bore, as "A wadding, and loaded up
with cannon balls, shells and other
deadly materials
