Reminder of an Old Custom.

Hundreds of old country people, espe-
cially of Irish birth, will remember the
Christmas candle which is lighted and
placed in the window at midnight of
Christmas eve and allowed to burn there
on the successive nights until it is all
consumed. 1t is one of the most inter
esting of all the customs associated with
the rel 'igious celebration of the Christian
festival. 1t is symbolic, of course, Of the
Eight of the World" but some hold
that with the mistletoe, the holly and
the festive practices of the season it goes
back to Druid or pagan origin and is
derived from some olden symbolism of
the returning warmth of the sun. How
ever this may be, it is not generally
known that the custom has been pre-
served in Canada to this day by few
old country people, comparatively speak
ing, to whom Christmas would not bear
its holy message without the tall wax
candle shining in their window

A PRACTICAL VIEW OF IT.

The folks that write Of fields of green where
birds and daisies rule,
I'll bet you, never struck them fields and
plowed Georgy mule,
And them that write of tinkling bells in dells
where cattle roam,
I'll bet you never had to drive the scamper-
ing cattle home!
And them that sing of woodlands sweet and
softly signing pines
I'll bet you, never had to tramp through prick
ly brers and vines
And cut cord of wood or two! No matter
what they say,
The country amt as purity as it looks from
far away!
Just let em come and try it-where people
have to rise
Before the sun has bazed way along the
chilly skies
And work from then until the stars look from
the darkening dome
III bet you, fore the day was done they'd all
make tracks for homel
And yet they keep on singing of country life
80 sweet
And leave out all the mortgages and notes we
have to meet!
We thank 'em for their compliments, for all
the words they say,
But still we amt purity as we look from
far away!

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.
They Likewise Play Cricket, but Not Ac-
cordinAtO to Rule.

Travellers in South America have not
ed the fact that where monkeys congre-
gate in large numbers they also indulge
i'll games of certain kind. Two Of
these games seem to resemble cricket
and football.
The cricket is of Il primitive order.
About dozen monkeys stand in a cir
Gle or whatever is akin to the simian
idea of a circle. Two of them advance
from different extremities of the circle
and stop about Is yards apart, facing
each other. The monkey at the southern
end of the circle has cocoanut in his
hand. He is the bowler.
The monkey at the other end does not,
as you might suppose, WELD a full cane
bat. His business is to dodge the cocoa
nut which the bowler aims at his head
The delisery of the ball is tremendously
fast, full pitched and fraught with dire
results if it 'touches the spot" When
it does happen to touch the spot-that
is, any part of the monkeys body-that
monkey is very much out and doesn't
even stop to dispute the question.
Another monkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal. 1t was
presumed by the travellers that the game
was finished when majority of mon-
keys lay nursing their wounds under the
friendly shade of a neighboring palm.
The football is of more advanced
type. 1t is also played with a cocoanut
The game, if anything, is undoubtedly
the "socker' game and is played with
the feet. Of course there is no goal nor
any tactics to speak of, the object of
each animal being to keep the ball to
himself as much as possible.
Still, the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble real game Of "foot-
er," and the deXterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful.
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and max
ing off, but the game then develops
into war in which life is sometimes the
prize.
No mention is made of referee; bus
if there is one about, like a wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up a

FARMS AND MARKETS.
Good Roads Mean Good Farms, Good
Prices and Good Times.

Good Roads Mean Good Farms, Good
Prices and Good Times.
A highly important feature of the
highways question, says the New York
Tribune. is the effect good Or bad roads
have upon the local markets and their
sources of supply. In all the cities and
large towns of the state there Is de-
mand for farm products and for the
bulkicr and heavier products such as
hay and straw and grain. In many cases
the surrounding country is quite capa-
BILE of supplying that demand; in all
cases it should do so as far as possible;
i'll most cases it does not. Instead sup
plies are brought in by rail or canal
from far away, perhaps from other
states; while ut the same time, within
a few mile $ of the market thus sup
piled, are farms that have been aban-
doncd as not worth working, and others
whose owners are i'll chronic discomfort
and despair ut the apparent impossible
ity Of getting profitable prices for their
crops. The big farms of the west, they
say. mcnopoliZe the markets, and so
farming here no longer pays.
Now one prime secret of the trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart, by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market The farmer 1000 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canal more easily and more cheaply
than the farmer only 10 miles away can
haul his i'll over roads that are so hilly
and rough and miry that half ton is a
heavy load fer a horse to draw at a slow
foot pace 1t is not that farms in the
east are no longer productive, nor that
the eastern market no longer offers fair
prices. 1t is that the roads between the
farms and the markets are SO bad as to
make shipment Improbable. Good roads
throughout the farming region adjacent
to the cities and towns would do more
than anything else to restore prosperity
to the farmers, enabling them to get
their goods to the best possible market
easily, promptly and cheaply. Good
roads would mean good farms, good
markets. good prices and good times
for all concerned.

WHAT FRANKLIN DID,
Boy Whose Eyes Were Always Open
and Who Was Always Busy.

anu =" siO w no Always Dusys
Benjamin Franklin was poor boy,
one of large family and his father
could not give him any of the advan-
tages which our farm boys now enjoy.
But he felt that he must do something
for himself, and he realized that he must
first learn all he could. So every odd
penny he could earn he spent for books
and sat mp nights to study them. Some
one has said, "He never lost sight of
common sense" which, perhaps, is the
main reason that he succeeded so well
i'll the end. His eyes were always open,
and he was always ready to turn his OBJ
servations to good account.
Franklin inspired and hlished the
Junto, the most pleasant and most use
full American club of which we have
knowledge.
He founded the Philadelphia library,
parent of thousand libraries, which
marked the beginning of an intellectual
movement of endless good to tine whole
country.
He first turned to great account the
engine of advertising, Indispensable in
all modern business
He published Poor Richard" rec
ord of hoDlely wisdom of such shape
that hundreds of thousands of readers
were made better and stronger by it.
He created the postoffice system of
America and was the first champion of
a reformed spelling.
He invented the Franklin stove, which
economical fuel, and he suggested valu-
able improvements i'll ventilation and
the building Of chimneys.
He robbed thunder of it's terrors and
lightning of some of its power to de-
stroy.
He founded the American Philosoph-
lcal society, the first organization i'll
America of the friends of science.
He suggested the use of mineral ma
nures, introduced the basket willow,
promoted the early culture Of silk and
pointed out the advantages of white
clothing in summer.
He measured the temperature of the
Gulf stream and discovered that north
east storms may begin i'll the southwest.
He pointed out the advantage of
building ships in water tight compart-
ments, taking the hint from the Chinese,
and first urged the use of oil as means
of quieting dangerous seas.
These great achievements We're ac.
complished largely as recreation from
his life work as economist and states
man.

Americas Literary Necessity.

America needs to start a new intellec-
that the way to start is not to rest in
the boasted excellence OF some light
form of literature for example, the
American short story. 1t will take larger
effort than this, and effort along lines
i'll beset, to bring out the American
rival of Homer and Dante and Virgil
and Goethe and Shakespeare. There is
deal Of meaning in the remark attrib-
uted to Horace Greeley that what the
United States needed was a sound
thrashing, but that unfortunately no
other nation on earth was big enough to
give it to them. The old world is we'll
worn. 1t is gradually approaching, from
sheer WEAKNESS, social if not politi-
Cal federalism, in which America must
be teacher, not pupil.
But the only lesson which America is
now teaching the world in the ideal
realm is precisely the lesson which Won
Hartmann has already put in words
namely, that the literature of the future
is to be as the farce which the Berlin
business man goes to see Of an evening
by way of recreation. 1t is doing its
best to prove that after Goethe the role
of transcendent genius is no longer to be
played By way of bringing about a
new movement i'll letters it would be an
excellent thing if some profoundly one
sided thinker should arise to shake to
pieces the eminently respectable but ia
tally monotonous philosophy of the
American schools. S, Tunison in

PURE WATER PAYS.
Il Mathematic Demonstration From the
Standpoint of Public Health.

Il Mathematic Demonstration From the
Standpoint of Public Health.
Professor William B. Mason of the
Troy Polytechnic institute has lately
published a Look on water supplies, and
i'll plainly holding up to view the cost
illness of obtaining new pure water
supply, or of modifying and altering an
Old one, he demonstrates that no COM
munlty ci.n afford to rest with anything
short of pure water, known of all men
to be such. He cites the evils to be ex-
pected from any of the water l&yne dis
eases, but especially wsites OF typhoid
fever from the cool, calculating stand
point of commercial loss. He says:
1.-The economic value of an individual
is what it has cost his family, the COM
munity or the state for his living, de-
velopment and education. 1t is the loan
which the individual has made from the
social capital i'll order to reach the age
when he can restore it by his labor -
1t is difficult to compute the value of
man Ill dollars and cents, and yet the
attempt has been made Chadwick rated
an English laborer at about $3.50; Faer
estimated him at $3.50, while French
soldier is reckoned at $1,000 Typhoid
fever-nearly always water borne dis
ease-chooses for its victims those in
the prime of life, seldom attacking the
very old or the very young, which has
led able judges to give the valuation of
$4,000 for man in the prime of his
vigor. Mr. Mason selects as illustrative
city of 100, 600 people, such, as AL
bany, where the deaths from typhoid
have averaged rs for the last five years.
Calling each man lost as worth 81, 900,
it means a direct loss pecuniarily of
$l5O,OOO Funerals range from $40 to
$50, so taking mean of $25, it adds to
the amount of direct loss each year
