THE WORK OF HOME MISSIONS

The utterances of Mr.. Cleveland at
the meeting in New York the other
night TO assist home missions will meet
with hearty endorsement from the
people of the United States. The Pres
ident deseryedly recognized the import
ance of the work which is going on
quietly and unostentatiously. and in
which the Presbyterian church, among
others. has played a magnificent part.
The need of missions in our country
has at times been somewhat overshad-
owed by the interest felt among church
people throughout the United States in
the work Of foreign missions. Mr.. Cleve-
land does not exaggerate the import
ance of this influence. which is steadily
redeeming the waste places Of the coun-
try and lifting the frontier civilization
to a higher moral plane. The condi-
tions which exist in some Of the more
unsettled portions of the far Western
districts do not yield readily to law.
Their law is the will of the inhabitants,
and often the inhabitants are not dis
posed TO recognize the methods and
customs of civilization.
These tendencies are being steadily
counteracJed by the work of the home
missions. Il reaches the people as no
mere legal agency could do. In laying
aside the cares OF Office temporarily to
act as a private citizen in assisting the
work. President Cleveland is doing
patriotic service for the nation. His
interest and efforts insure abundant
support for this great movement.

To CERTAIN FOOLISH SHEPHERDS.

From facts regarding the condition
of the sheep and wool industry. gath
cred by its correspondents, the Amer
lean Wool and Cotton Reporter reads
an interesting lecture TO those foolish
shepherds who were influenced by the
partisan calamity howlers in the last
campaign into parting with their focks
because of the fear that free wool would
mean ruin to every shepherd, which abb
surd idea was indusuiously instilled
into their minds by the able political
faIsifers who now. despite their late
bowls regarding the cOuntry's imme-
diate political needs. are serenely pur-
suing "a do-nothing policy in Congress.
MANY an American eX-shepherd.
says the Reporter, realizes this and
wishes now that his faith in the fu
ture of the abandoned flock had been
greater. As his hay crop grows lighter,
as the waste places on his farm grow
up 90 foul weeds and underbrush and
ne fails TO receive from his dairy, his
horses or other branches of livestock
breeding the profit he had anticipated,
he will realize more and more the value
of the sheep on the farm"
And it is this realization, our con-
temporary points out which is sure
to- result in a growing demand for sheep
during the next twelve months But
good sheep cannot be had except by
good breeding and good care. 1t is the
same with the sheep as with the other
domestic animals: they need the watch
. full care and attendance of the owner.
and under these conditions their hoof
is golden.
The Reporter calls attention to the
fact that during the depression of the
past three years many thousands of
sheep have been slaughtered for their
pelts and tallow. but those who
through thick and thin have
/ persis-ently staid by their focks
are already reapiag the benefits
and have been able to increase
the producuveness. Of their lands to a
greater degree than any other class Of
farmers

cludes The Reporter. lis buy few

MARK TWAIN'S SNAKE.

Mark Twain has just concluded a lee
ture tour in New Zealand. He said
good-by to the New Zealanders at
Christ church, and in the course of his
speech made references to prohibition.
which he said he approved. but which
would put them into most difficult
straits. He then told the following
story:
In our country several years ago
there was a man came into a prohibit
ed town. and, unlike YOU average saw
ages here. they said to him. You can't
get a drink anywhere except at the
apOthecary's.' SO he went TO the
apOthecary. who said
You can't get a drink here without
a prescription from a physician but
the man said, I'm perishing, I haven
time to get a prescription The apothe-
cary replied:
well. l haven't the power to give
you a drink, except for a snake bite.
The man said: Where's the snake?'
So the apOthecary gave him the snake
address, and he went off. Soon after,
however, he came back and said:
For goodness sake. give me a
drink. That snake is engaged for six
months ahead. Westminster Gazette.

COAL FROM ALASKA.

The fact that coal abounds in Alaska
and may be mined in close proximity
TO the best and most accessible harbors
in that region has been demonstrated
by the recent visit of party of scien-
lists to our Northwestern territory.
The coal product of Alaska is pc
culiar. Says DR.. w. H. Dali, a member
of the party of scientists just referred
10: All Goals in the territory are what
is known as brown coal. There is no
anthracite or bituminous coal to be
found as far as we could ascertain. The
brown coal is not brown in color, but
when scratched it exhibits a brown
streak. The finer qualities of this brown
coal are much like anthracite. The
fractured surfaces are brilliant. 1t
hasn't much sulphur and while when
struck with a hammer, it breaks up
into small pieces, this does not effect
its quality as fuel In California, where
this coal has been tested, it has been
found that when the specific gravity
is taken into consideration the coal is
entirely acceptable for commercial pur-
poses"
A notable opportunity seems to be
open in Alaska just now for the enter
prising coal miner. Timber abounds
in the coal country, Cooks inlet,
which reaches it, is open to navigation
the year round, and it will be strange
if the coming year does not witness a
boom in black diamonds in the land of
the Yukon.
