FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

The most interesting and instructive faSmers' clubs are those that meet at farmhouses alternately, each farm being in its turn the object of observation and criticism. m.-Hartford Times.
 It would be joke on Canada if the old boundary of Russian Alaska were found. to include the Klondike terri tory. Perhaps our friends to the north were unwise in not consenting to the fixing of the present boundary by treaty as we proposed to the joint high com mission. When the question comes up again we may have . basis for demands which the Canadians may not relish.- Torrington Register.
 The year 1900 will be in the 20th cen tuty when the 31st of December is New Years day; when the Fourth of July falls on the day before it arrives; when an honest grocer can sell II eggs for doz- en, and when 99 is an even 100 the world over. Unless the Christian era began a year before it began. the 18th century would be cheated ont of year, if those who insist that 1900 begins the next century had their way.-Binghampton Leader.
 There Is an effort being made Ito form an Audubon Society in this vicin- ity. This is step in the right direc- ton and the promoters deserve much credit. Every lover of our song birds should join in discouraging the prac- tice of wearing the feathers of birds on ladies' hats. It is cruel and unneces- sary. There is something queer in human nature when one stops to think how . tender hearted woman will pity 6 wounded bleeding bird that has fall on to the ground the victim of some misohievous boy, and yet go ripht in the house and don 8 hat literally cov- cred with bright feathers. Of the two tho boy has the faint excuse of yonth and thoughtlessness, while the onS who encourages the wholesale dis struction of our song birds has no ex- cuse whatever. The welfare of our song birds is becoming serious problem. The work of the Audubon Society is a noble one, and we hope branch may b6 organized in the town of Salisbury without delay.-Lakeville Journal
