It is absolutely necessary that both
the intellectual and moral natures
should be we'll disciplined and elevated
if YOU would have well rounded char
actcr A purely intellectual creature
is really but half man. We all know
from observation that if mans intel

ties are neglected, that they remain I'M
developed and defective and we have
being who is capable Of working
great injury to himself and To human

many men Of fine educations. The
European Nihilists and Anarchists are
often men Of learning and ability. 4
man with stunted, def0rlned moral
nature is not only a willing victim of
vice but he IS often pestilential in his

genius and yet work evil in thousands

but there is also sunshine and stars and
green fields.
No man loves God a. He should BE
loved until he loves Gods children,
and no man has tasted the sweets OF
pure and undefled religion who does
not ID what lie can to make burdens
light IN his daily walk. The real
Christian is he who has a word for
the fallen and heart that beats with
divine pity for every poor creature who
crosses his path bowed down by grief or
dishgured BY sin.

A Practical Farm BOOK.

great many books have been written ON
farm topics but Prot. Thomas Shaw's new work
on Grasses and Cl0yers, Field Roots, Forage and
Fodder Crops to be the most valuable
contribution that has yet appeared on those
subjects 1t tells what crops are best for cert2i
soils and latitndes, how to prepare the ground
for the seed. how to sow the seed, how to care
for the crop, how to harvest, sRd how to feed
it. Some writers know a great deal but cannot
tell il others write good deal but do not know
it. All who read this book must acknowledge
that Prof Shaw is thoroughly up to date on
the questions he discusses. and he throws out
some interesting suggestions to those who like
to follow advanced thought in agriculture
Prof. Shaw has carefully avoided that rock on
which many authors have wrecked the useful
ness of books that otherwise would prove
highly valuable, in that he carefully avoids the
use of technical and abstruse terms that serve
to confound the reader He makes his points
in language so plain and direct that no one who
reads can misunderstood. aud it is . book that
will be worth its weight IN gold to those who
seek practical information. Prof Shaw's practi-
cal experience a farmer. his long connection
with the Ontario Agricultural College at
Guelph, and the Minnesota State Experimental
Station, and his well-known abilities as writer.
qualities him 10 write as few men can, and
no one else has done on these topics.
This book is just out of press. and is givE
away by the NOrthrup, Braslan, Goodwin Co.,
Seedsmen. of Minneapolis, Mimi, as n premium
for orders for Vegetable Seeds to the amount Of
So, or for Field or Grass Seeds to the amount OF
So. Their catalogue. which will give further
particulars and information, is mailed free to
applicants upon mention of this paper.
This book consists of 150 pages, and is printed
on the best super-ealendersd paper, profusely'
illustrated, handsomely bound in cloth, en-
b0sSed in gold, and should be in the hands Of
every one engaged in agricultural pursuits.

CHRISTIANITY AND TRAMP
Tony way OF thinking there are three classe.
of tramps. each OF which require different
treatment.
First-Thers are men who are willing and
anxious 20 work, but cannot get It.
Second-Aen who will work II tbey have to.
bat prefer 60 depend on begging.
Iblrd-Men who will not work under any
circumstances short of physical compulsion.
Now, believe IL is a Christian d uty 10 look
60 the welfare OF the country as well as 20 the
needs OF the unfortunate. liz is very hard Ia
determine 10 which of these three classes a
man belongs; therefore il is very hard TO tell
just what 20 do, but ] would rather help 9s
unworthy ones than TO refuse TO help one that
is worthy.
mean by this that should be ia doubt 81
TO whether they were worthy or not. would
fSther give them the benefit OF the doubt than
have one worthy one suffer on account of the
others.
Now, for those who have to deal with the
tramp question at large those who have time
aad opportunity Of classifying them for The
benefit OF the country. it would be well q
adopt something like this:
First-hen who are willing to work, TO assist
In ending work, SO that they may cease to be
tramps and a burden TO the community.
S6cond-Men who will work IL they have to
but prefer begging, TO be put in a workhouse
where, under mild discipline, industries are
carried on, and attempts made TO secure the
men employment outside
Third-hen who viii not work unless com.
PEELED 10. to be put Ia another work house where
the strictest discipline is maintained aud the

In response to many requests that the whole
scheme he fully shown, the following resume
of the case is given:
Eanesyille is 81: obscure little prairie town in
Illinois; it is not found on the map, and it is
not on the railroad. resident of that town,
Nrt. Edna German, whose maiden name was
Brown. conceived the leticr-chain scheme FOR
collecting postage stamps for the alleged benefit
OF her husbands crippled sister Even she seems
70 have had no idea 10 what length the scheme
would be carried. or that thousands OF bcnevo-
lent people would not only repeR: the letters
and send stamps. but add money and gifts OF
ali kinds besides.

cal institute wanted 100000 Cancelled stamps
or ever thought of treating ,hs girl, auy
other girl. for such consideration.
few days after the FIRST letters were sent
ont replies began to come in. The hanesviiie
mail is nut off at Sugar Grove, five miles south,
and the heretofore-fat mailbag began TO swell
to enormous proportions. The kaaesviile
Postmaster, knowing that Edna Brown was
now Mrs German. was puzzled TO know what
il all meant
Letters multiplied in eeometric ratio; the
one bag was multiplied into many bags; the
overworked Postmaster was Obliged 10 hire an
assistant; farmers wives were called ~ by
Mrs. German TO help open the letters.
By and bv the scheme was shown up in ali the
metropolitan papers of he country, but at last
accounts letters were still pouring in. Some OF
the letters contained money orders. some OF
them great sheets of stamps, just as they came
from the postoffice, with only an ink line
drawn across the face OF them. The 3,0oe,OO0
mark was passed long ago, and If this intorma-
ton does not reach the people q 3,0O0,0oO000
max will be reached.
The chain is only beginning, and two weeks
ago the average of letters had reached 10000 a
day. A few days later it was $4,000, aud at
latest account 1900.
