THE TARIFF IN CANADA.-In the
recent general elections i'm Canada
but two issues were involved-an in
crease of tariff duties and public aid
to sectarian (Catholic) schools, to
both of which the Liberal party was
opposed, and it swept the country on
these issues. Canada has a prOtec-

high protection does not insure pros.
perity. Let the people of the United

One Way to Retain Moisture.

From the Philadelphia Record.
II the farmer could control the
supply Of moisture by having &C
commoGating rains 1t would great
ly lesson his labor and expenses,
and he could largely increase his
yields. But while he can not derive
moisture at will he can manage
his farm so as to prevent loss Of
that which he receives.
The quantity Of water brought
up from below and evaporated
by the plants 10 enormous, while
THAT evaporated from the soil lie
also very large. Every weed de-
stroyed lessons the loss Of mois.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-06-18

ture to that extent, and IL the
loss from the surface Of the soil
can be prevented it is possible for
the plants OF a crop to receive a
sutficiency Of moisture to prevent
injury from a drauth extending
we'll into the summer. The ten
dency is to cultivate only when
weeds and grass compel such work
when, in fact cultivation can be
done with advantage even when
no weeds have appeared.
When the ground becomes dry
and warm the water from below
rises to the surface, capillary tubes
forming in soils that arc COM
pacted, and in that manner the
moisture is given of and taken
up by the air. Moisture ri es in
soil in the same manner as oil
through the wick OF lamp. III
the ground can be covered with
straw, leaves or dry dirt-in fact,
with anything that will serve as
mulch-this evaporation will be
prevented. 1t is too expensive to
cover a large field with straw or
leaves, and more so to spread dry
dirt on the ground. But with the
cultivator the tops of the capillary
tubes are broken off and sealed,
the loosening OF the top soil being
equivalent to covering the land
with 80 much dry dirt, as evapora-
ton is prevented and moisture
retained in the soil. If the soil
was plowed and SUBSIDIZED in the
spring, its capacity to absorb
moisture and retain it will also
have been increased, which is an
additional advantage.
Frequent cultivation is import
ant, as every rain that falls beats
down the dry earth and permits
the capillary tubes to open at the
ends, hence the time to cultivate
is after every rain, which not only
renews the covering Of dry earth,
but also destroys the young weeds
which are induced to terminate
by the rains. 1t is not necessary to
cultivate deeper than just sufficient
to loosen the top soil, as it is some
times injurious to plants to break
roots at certain stages OF their
growth. With deep blowing, sub.
soifng and thorough drainage the
soil becomes able to absorb and
hold and a large proportion Of the
water that falls by the loosening
Of the top soil the water is held.
When the top soil is loosened the
the water from rains soaks down
instead drumming of the surface,
cultivation, therefore not only pre-
venting loss of moisture from be-
low, but also enabling the soil to
absorb larger proportion OF that
which comes down in the form Of
rain

LONDON, June 13.-Irish Fenian-
ism Is beginning to show alarming
signs of revival, bothin England and
Ireland. The chief agents Of the
movement are Irishmen and Irish
Americans and within the past
three months these persons have
succeeded In creating formidable
organization. Although the police
authorities have long been aware
that such movement was in
existence, and adopted means to
prevent its spreading, 1T would be
idle to deny that this country was
on the verge of every lively
time" in connection with -Fenian-
ism. ....... .. --..
The authorities responsible for
the public peace look upon the
revival as creating a very grave
situation. All the centres are now
watched night and day, and the
moving spirits are under the clos
est observation. They cannot
move without being followed.
From the information In the hands
of the police the men connected
with this Fenian body will adopt
"such means as present them
selves" for the destruction OF life
or property. The use of the knife
and explosives meets, however,
with most favor. That the police
believe these men mean business
is shown by the fact that all the
members OF the present govern
ment are now followed by detec.
tives wherever they go.

Marco Polo was the first traveller to
trace u route across the whole length of
Asia, says one of his biographcrs, "de.
scribing kingdom after kingdom that he
had seen with his W eyes" He was
the first traveller to explore the deserts
and the Towering plains of Persia, to
reveal China with its mighty rivers, its
swarming population and its huge
cities and rich manufactures; the first
to visit and bring back accounts of Tibet,
Laos, Burma, Siam, Cochin China,
Japan, the Indian archipelago. Ceylon,
farther India and the Andaman islands;
the first to give any distinct account of
the secluded Christian empire of Abys-
sinia; the first to speak even vaguely Of
Zanzibar, Madagascar and other regions
in the mysterious south and Of Siberia
and the Arctic ocean in the terrible and
much dreaded north. Although centu-
ries have passed since young Marco Polo
grew to mans estate while treading his
dangerous way among these distant
lands, we must still look back to his
discoveries for much that we know about
those countries; for we have learned
nothing new of many Of them since his
time. Noah Brooks in st. Nicholas

AN OPPRESSIVE RESPONSIBILITY.


sympathies Of h Elaine Household
Brought . Respite to a Condemned Man.
General Harrison's paper on This
Country Of Ours" in Ladies' Home
Journal treats Of 1.-THE Pardoning Pow
er and Impeachment" OF the former
he cites an incident in showing the OPP
pressive responsibilities it places upon
the shoulders of a president. He says:
"A reprieve is a temporary srspen-
sion OF the execution of n sentence.
This power is often used for the pur-
Hose Of giving the president time to *
anime an application for u pardon or
to enable the condemned to furnish fur
Their evidence in support of such an ap-
pllcation. In the summer of 1889 IA
application for a pardon in behalf Of a
man condemned to death for murder
was presented to Inc, and after n care
full examination the application was
denied. On the day before the day fixed
for the execution l arrived at Bar Har-
Dor on Il visit to Nh. Blaine. and found
that Just before my arrival 4 telegram
had come asking for n reprieve. The
message had been tclephoncd to Mr..
Bi;ane's house and received by Mrs.
Blaine. Her sympathies and those of the
whole household were at once enlisted
for the poor fellow, and though the glib
bet was over twelve hundred miles away
he shadow of it was over the house,
Il l was the hangman. A telegram to
the United States marshal granting a
short reprleve was sent, and the day OF

WHERE NO CLOUD oBsCUREs.
On the Planet Mars the Weather Il Al.
most Always Fine.

Let us now remark that the Marian
meteorology is less complicated and
moro pleasant than that of the earth.
There the weather is almost always
fine, especially during summer. Very
seldom are there clouds cven in winter.
Generally when WI are unable to distin-
guish through the telescope the details
OF the geographical CONFORMATION upon
he planet the fault is in our own at
mosphere and not i'll that of Mars. 1t is
very rarely the case that when our at.
mosphcric conditions are good we are
unable TO see these details. During tho
last period Of observation of Mars in
1894, l, to speak for myself, encountered
only Is days (from Oct. 10 to 25) when
the surface of the planet was yelled by
its WI atmosphere. Clouds are excess.
lively rare on the surface Of Mars, and
perhaps exist Mt all only as fogs or light
cirrus; they are not clouds of rain or
storm. These wells are very %infrequent
there, while they are perpetual upon the
earth. Probably there is o a single
day in the year when the entire surface
Of the earth is uncovered so that it could
De SATISFACTORILY observed from space.
The two planets have two m%eteorolog-
ical systems that arc absolutely anti
thetical.
Furthermore, in the rareficd atmos-
phere of Mars there can be no powerful
winds, like tho trade winds and the pro.
dominant atmospheric currents which
rule terrestrial climates. Occasionally,

streaks of snow which appear to have
been produced by currents in u tranquil
atmosphere. Schiaparclli, for instance,
observed such strcaks (''trainees'') in
November and December. 1881. around

siderable distance from it. But such
things are exceptions. The normal con.
