often been much impressed with the
beauty, sweetness and wisdom Of those
charming paragraphs and short essays
by the brothers Dare, Augustus and
julius Charles, published in a small
volume entitled "Guesses at Truth by
Two Brothers" This little volume ought
to be in the hands of every youth in the
land The book was first published in
~, In
1885 and 1888, and was reprinted by
Macmillan & Co. in 1884. In that vol
ume you will find thousand texts,
texts that seem to prick the under
standing and set thought into a gener-
Gus flow. By all means hunt up that
little volume and consult it for texts
upon which to enlarge and subjects
upon which to think. 1t will be splen-
did training exercise for you. We give
you a few extracts on friendship:
Friendship is love, without either
flowers or veil"
"In thinking what we are to do for
our friend we are not to look merely
or mainly at the manner in which his
feelings will be affected at the mo-
ment, but to consider what will, on the
whole and ultimately, be. best for him,
so far as our Judgment can ascertain II. -
Friendship closes its eyes, rather
than see the moon eclipst; while malice
denies that it is ever at the full"

The Santa Ana Blade" in all seri-
cusness, suggests that Miss Anna
Shaw catch her breath in the woman
suffrage campaign long enough to
preach to the women the virtue Of
ceasing to afflict men by wearing high
hats in churches, theaters and other
places Of public assembly. Here is
hint that perhaps Anna may win some
votes by accomplishing the reform re-
ferred to. Not at all bad idea. When
woman accords man his rights, he will
be far more amena BILE to argument re-
garding her claims. Until she proves
herself able to rise superior to the tyr
rany OF senseless fashion, she cannot
expect to be accorded still greater priv

Referring to the high-hat law of
Ohio, the Oakland Tribune" says:
The law is a ridiculous one, and will
probably never be enforced. The GUS
tom of wearing tall headgear in a
theater or concert-room is also ride
ulous. The only effective remedy is
sarcasm and ridicule.
We have dim recollection that pre-
cisely the same was said of the Aus
tralian ballot law. 1t was stigma
tized as ridiculous" So, too, when the
bicycle came on, the sneer was that it
was ridiculous" and none but chill
dren and fools would be seen astride
the things" The law or ordinance to
prevent consumptives attending pub
lie assemblies was pronounced "ridicu-
lous,'' but is many times law now. Sar-
casm and ridicule have been tried on
the fair ones with the high hat with
out avail, why not then a bit of sever
ity? What was it the old farmer said
to the boy in the apple aree: IF soft
words will not bring you down, nor yet
bits of turf, 1 will see what virtue
there is in stones" The boy came down.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March g.
school question may end in the dismem-
berment of the Confederation of Can
adian Provinces, the province of Mani
toba setting up as an Independent
crown colony.
1t is now evident that the Dominion
Government is determined to pass leg
islation restoring the Roman Catholic
parochial schools in Manitoba, and it
is certain that province will resist such
legislation. To resist, however, as a
province of the Dominion would be rev.
olution, and Premier Greenway has no
desire to go to the length of revolution,
for in spite of ALL he and his govern
ment are loyal to the British crown.
This loyalty has been manifested more
than once when movements toward an
nexation to the United States have been
started and promptly discountenanced.
The only other alternative seems to
be retirement from the Confederation
of Canadian Provinces and the setting
up Of a crown colony under constitu-
tiOn similar to that of Newfoundland.
AS a separate colong Manitoba would
not be subject to interference in it's
school laws from Ottawa and the east
ern provinces, which are too remote
to be in touch with the province in
the west, and do not understand the
conditions and requirements of this
new country.
As secession from the Dominion does
not affect loyalty to Great Britain, the
movement has hundreds of supporters
where annexation to the United States
proposition could not find one. 1t is
evident that no stone will be left un-
turned to prevent the foisting upon the
province Of statute-ordered church
schools.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 9.-The Mani
toba school question assumed a new
and interesting phase today when Sir
Charles Tupper arose in the House of
Commons and read telegram from
Premier Greeenway of Manitoba to Sir
Donald Smith, who recently visited
Winnipeg upon mission of peace. The
telegram was in reply to one from Sir
Donald, and read:
winnipeg, March 2.-Your telegram
has received the most careful consider
dIlOu Oy myself anu cOil0dSu0S, duu
while fully appreciating all you say, it
is quite clear to us that we can only pro-
ceeed to Ottawa for the purpose of hold
ing a conference on the official invita-
ton of the Dominion Government. l
fully appreciate your very kind Offices
in this matter"
Sir Charles Tupper added: I'm view
of the assurances of the Government of
Manitoba that it is willing to have a
conference, the Dominion Government
proposes, as soon as the second reading
of the remedial bill is carried, to have
conference with Mr.. Greenway's
with the view of arriving
at a settlement of this question on
terms that will be satisfactory to his
and the ministry of Mani
toba, but in the meantime to proceed
with the question before the House as
previously arranged"
A triumphant shout went up from the
Liberal side of the House, for the state
ment was regarded as the Governments
first retrogressive step since entering
upon it's coercive policy.

HOUSE Oh
Rep. Robertson reported for the
Military Committee on House Bill No.
as follows:
Military Committee Reports.

was referred House Bill No. 8, entitled
An Act to better define the duties and
powers of the Minister of Foreign At
fairs in regard to the military forces of
the Republic having had the same un-
der consideration. beg leave to report
that they approve Of the object of the
bill, which is to make the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs the chief administrat-
i've officer of the military forces, and re-
sponsible for the expenditure of the
appropriation for the support of said
forces; and they recommend that the

License to Sell Papers.
Rep. Robertson also reported for the
Judiciary Committee on the Attorney
Generals bill regarding the sale OF
newspapers on the streets, as follows:
your Judiciary Committee, to
whom was referred AN Act to amend
chapter 20 of the Session Laws of 1892,
etc. having had the same under con-
sideration, beg leave to report that in
our opinion the bill is too broad in that
1t will permit the sale of foreign papers
without requiring any license OF the
seller. This would not be fair to the
news dealers, who have to pay merchan-
disc licenses. We recommend that the
second paragraph of section 1 of the bill
be amended so as to read as follows:
Section 5-Every person who shall
sell any goods, wares or merchandise
of foreign product or manufacture with
out a license, or Of the provisions of
this Act upon conviction thereof before
any magistrate, shall be fined in sum
not exceeding five hundred dollars, or
in default of payment shall be impris-
oned at hard labor not exceeding six
months, in the discretion of the court.
Provided, however, that nothing con-
tanned in this Act, nor in any license is
sued under it shall be construed to pro-
hibit the sale of foreign newspapers
upon the streets of any town or village
in the Hawaiian Islands, by any person
holding, d license to sell goods, wares
and merchandise under this Act

It was rumored last night that
the Military Committee of the
House of Representatives would
recommend material reduction in
the regular forces at the barracks.
The intention is to disband one
of the.companies and have, instead
of two, one company of seventy
five men. This will let out three

also be reduction in the salaries

HOMEMADE HOPPER DoZIER.
a piece of canvas was stretched This
frame served the important office of
throwing back all those grasshoppers
that otherwise would jump clean over
the pan and throw them into the oil.
The runners on which the pan stood
were usually made of saplings or small
pieces Of board having an upward curve
in front to prevent them from catching
in the ground. The front ends of the
runners were all fastened by screws to
a cross-piece, which was, in turn, drawn
by two ropes, one at each end. These
ropes were Joined in front and fastened
to a single-tree. Sometimes two hop
per-doziers were fastened to long pole
by means Of short ropes; this was very
easily drawn by one horse. just in
front Of the pan was fastened piece Of
rope which swept the ground q few
inches in advance, and served to stir up
the hoppers and make them jump into
the pans. In the pan was laid piece Of
cloth which was first saturated with
water. About pint Of kerosene was
then thrown in and the upright sheet
or sail Of canvas moistened with oil.
The machine was then drawn over the
pasture, or wherever the hoppers were
thickest. In short time twas usually
seen to be partially filled with dead and
dying insects.
The slightest touch Of kerosene,
either from the pan or from the canvas
sheet, means death to the hopper, for
the oil spreads over its body in the
same way that single drop will spread
over large surface of water. 1t seems
to produce paralysis, which is first
shown by the stitfening Of the legs. A
very large proportion of the hoppers
that came in contact with the oil in
the pan. Immediately jumped out again,
but they invariably dled IN the course
of few seconds or minutes.
Hundreds of these machines were
made and drawn over the meadows and
pastures, with the result that millions
Of the choppers" were killed, and this
work, added to the fact that the season
was unfavorable to the insects, saved
many crops. Last year we had several
requests from readers in the eastern
states as to how these "hopper-dozers"
are made, and so we print this informa-
ton early in the season.-Rural New

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

In farming it is better to raise thing
or an animal than to buyit.
If growing pigs are kept confined
give them good variety Of food.
Usually the farmer that drives his
cows with dogs saves time, but loses
butter.
Fertility in an available form is the
basis of all successful production from
the soil.
Generally It takes longer to develop
a heavy built animal than it does a
light built one.
The most profitable pig is the one that
makes the fastest growth from birth to
maturity.
There is no economy in investing
money in good blood unless it can be fol-
lowed up by good attention.
In order 10 obtain vigor we must
sustain and build up the muscles and
furnish food 10 make activity.
Disease and vermin are notas liable to
attack animals that are in good flesh as
those that are thin and weak.
Regularity is one of the essentials in
feeding horses; the heaviest feeders
are not always the best feeders.
Seeing that the COW is able to satisfy
her appetite without too much exercise
is an item in receiving the most milk.
1t will aid materially in maintaining
good health with the stock if care is
taken to provide them with plenty Of
pure. fresh water daily. - Farmers

Keeping Things in Order.

Just because we are farmers, and our
wives are farmers wives, and because
our homes are on the farm. it is no rea'
son why we should permit the prem
ises to run down. until they look as
though cyclone had struck them. A
nice lawn should occupy the front. and
small fruits the back yard. The fences
and buildings, II not as fine as those
Of some city premises. should at least
be neat. The plea for neatness and
homelike surroundings cannot be made
too strong for some localities. The
idea is too prevalent that the farmer
has no time to keep his premises neal.
The impression Is that he goes out in
the fields early and stays until late,
and when he could possibly get any
time at all he has to go to town. Col
