For rest-sweet rest.

And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong somewhere
There lies the root Of right;
That each sorrow has its purpose
By the Borrowing oft unguessed;
But as sure the brings morning,
Whatever is is best.
/ know that each sinful action
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere some time punished
Though the hour be long delayed.
i know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest.
And to grow means often TO suffer
But whatever is is best.

In the great eternal plan,
And all thirgs work together
For the final good of man.

BOG BUTTER.

Mr. David Boyle: the curator OF the
Ontario Archaeological Museum, is In re,
ceipt of an exceedingly curious survival
from prehistoric times in the shape Oh a
good sized lump of bog butter" In
ireland in the very old times the art or
butter making was known, but the pre-
servatiye effects of salt were as yet un-
discovered Nevertheless, the people of
that age possessed some means of pre-
serving 1t, burial in a bog being part OF
the process. Firkins of it were fire.
from time to time these relics of prehis-
toric housekeeping are unearthed. Mr..
b. ST. George LEROY of Toronto, Who is
now in Ireland, is the donor of a good
sized piece of cheesy looking stuff to the
museum Mr.. Lefroys letter to Mr..
Boyle is in part follows:
~ have Just sent off per parcels post
a piece of bog butter to you. / don t
know whether 1t is a thing of sufficient
antiquity and rarity to be of any value
or interest to you. but as the Dublin Mu-
scum has a keg in prominent position
perhaps you may consider it worthy of
admission to a place in the museum. 1
notice the Canadian customs forbid sub
stitutes or limitations of butter 1 hope
red tape won't signalize itself over this.

HARVARD AND YALE
ON THE EVE OF BATTLE

MERIDEN, Conn.,, Nov. 1S.-By 10
o'clock tonight the Harvard football
players were bundled off to bed to
dream of to-morroW's great contest.
They are all fit and eager for the fray.
They are not boastful or over-confident,
but still they all expect to win. The
Harvard players were up betimes this
morning. Led by Captain Dibblee and
Dean. the entire squad took brisk
walk in the morning for three quarters
of an hour and lunched at noon. AT 3
o'clock the men put on their football
togs and went out to Hanover Field Tor
light practice. The practice lasted a
short hour, finishing with both first ana
second elevens rehearsing the signals.
There will be no change in Harvard S
lineup from that which was played in
the Princeton game, though Farley and
Lawrence are expected to replace Coch-
rane and Warren, respectively, before
the game has progressed far. The
whole squad will leave here tomorrow
at 1920.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 19.-The prac-
tfce of the Yale team to-day was short
and consisted of signal work only. Ely,
Eddy and Dudley were sent down to
the goal posts and Cutten snapped the
ball back to Mcbride, who has returned
from New York, where he had been for
a, day being treated by a specialist for
a bothersome weak ankle. The work
was very satisfactory to Thorne, who
did the coaching. One of the Yale
coachers said this evening that the
coachers were we'll pleased with the i'm
provement of the players this week.

The Yale field gridiron tonight is as

RAGS STILL USED AS THANK OF
FERINGS IN IRELAND.

The singular custom of leaving rags
and other worthless objects at wells has
not entirely fallen into disuse. The SUI
persttion, in a modified form. exists in
other portions of the world. A traveller
in Persia found tree with rags tied to
its branches. They had been left there
by the inhabitants of a province infected
with ague A tree hung with rags was
found by. another traveller in Africa
Crooked pins, old clothes, pebbles, shells,
rusty nails, small COINS and even bundles
of heath were considered appropriate
thank offerings at shrines in earlier days.
for it was believed that the saints and
apostles did not care for articles of value
Such was the superstitious alteration of
fountains that it was forbidden by the
sixteenth of the canons issued in $50, in
the reign of King Edgar. and it was con-
demned by the canons of st. Anselm It
was also interdicted by the laws passed
in the reign of King Canute. Since the
reformation the practice has not been
prevalent except in Ireland, where many
old wells consecrated to saints and mar
tyrs are yet made the object of pilgrim
age. There is scarcely a parish through
out the land that has not its own holy
well, where despite practical admonition
the faithful and the faithless come to
pray for physical or mental relief, and
leave behind them a scrap of rag as an
offering.-London Daily Mall.

EXPORTS EXCEED IMPORTS
OUTPUT OF SUGAR GROWING
LARGER.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The State
Department has published report of
the British Foreign Office in regard to
the commerce of Hawaii in 1891 from
which it appears that of the total imports
of the islands, the United States con-
tributed 1878 per cent; Great Britain,
Canada and the colonies together 1l.S5
per cent, the balance being distributed
about equally between Germany,
China, Japan and other countries. OF
the exports 1882 per cent went to the
United States, sugar representing So
per cent of the total. Apart from
sugar. the chief articles for export were
rice. hides, skins, wool, coffee and
fruits The value of the imports INTO
Hawaii in 1897 was $S,S71,O41 an IN
crease of $1,679,878 over 1895, ana the
value of the exports was S16,OSl.3o5.
gain of $50S, 42o.
The increase in imports was especi-
ally marked in the case of provisions,
wearing apparel, hardware, agrlcul-
tural implements and machinery. Inc
increase in exports was due. mainly,
to an Increased output OF sugar, all OF
which went to the United states.
The report assigns as the reason why
the United States has such a large pro-
norton of the trade (apart from the
difference in TARIFF the adaptabillty Tor
American goods for the Hawaiian mar
ket, the reduced rates of transportation
and consequently cheaper prices the
excellent packing of cotton, etc
1t also appears from the report that
in cotton goods the United states has
already large proportion of the trade
and monopoly of boots and shoes, felt
hats and the better class of straw hats.
The sugar industry of the islands
SAYS the report, prospered in 1891 all
the plantations paying dividends. In
telligent systems of cultivation are In
vogue. An association of sugar plant
ers has been formed, and 1t has es-
tablished a laboratory and exnerimen-
tai station. from which much benefit
has been derived. The cultivation OF
coffee is extending, but up TO the pres
emit time no large estates have been
opened, the area planted being made up
of a number of small holdings. In ad-
dition there is a fair area OF what is
known as wild coffee-that is. coffee
which has not been scientifically
planted or subjected to the more ap-
proved methods of pruning. ETC.. but
which has been allowed to grow almost
entirely wild. The export of coffee in
1897 was 337.15s pounds, or nearly
double that of 1896.

HELD FOR MANsLAUeHTER.
Examination of Caspar Leoni at st.
Helena.

ST. HELENA, Cal, Nov. 1S.-Caspar
Leoni, who was arrested a week ago by
Constable Spur on a charge of murder,
had a preliminary examination before
Justice Chinn to-day. Leoni was held
over for trial before the Superior Court
on the charge of manslaughter. Bonds
were fixed at $1,000. About two weeks ago
Leoni, hearing a noise outside his house
at l O'Clock in the morning, took shot
gun and went out. Seeing two men
through the darkness he called out. and
as one of the men advanced he fired. A
second shot followed, and the man, Hig-
gins, was pierced by over a hundred
shot, a couple of which struck the heart.
Higgins was taken to the County Hos
pital and died a few days later. The ar
that the men had been stealing wine
from his cellar, while Higgins claimed
that he and his partner, Combella, went
to Leoni's place to buy the liquor
