as anticipated.
The subjects presented by Prof.

ciples Of Culture with hoed Crops,
and Maintaining Fertility without

forcible, thoroughly enjoyed.

Mrs. lockwood gave "A Dairy
Talk" that proved her to be entirely
familiar with the subject, and the
commendatory remarks OF the ladies
who were present indicated that they
had gained practical knowledge.
Wednesday evening Mrs. Ella
E. lockwood addressed a large au-
dience on "Our farm homes; How we
may improve them" and was fol-
lowed by Prof. Barrows with an in

The woman's section of the far
mers' institute met in the M. f
church Thursday p. M, Dec Z, with
Mrs. Woodwork as chairman. There
we're about so women present, only 7
of whom were farmers wives.
Mrs. Alice Benkleman's paper,
"The power and influence Of home"
was finely written and very kindly
received, she taking the ground that
the mother in the home has power
to mould and fashion the mind aud
inclination OF the child that is be-
yond all other privileges that might
be granted to her. A very interest
ing discussion led by Mrs. Margaret
Trombley followed, in which many
women took part.
Mrs. Ella lockwood then gave a
very interesting talk on Mothers,
wise and otherwise" giving most
forcibly many practical thoughts and
suggestions to the mothers present
that could but be helpful and sug.
gestive.
This was followed by a general
discussion led by Mrs. Fourier In
which large number present partic-
ipated. Questions from the question
box were then read and commented
upon by Mrs. lockwood and others.
Altogether the session was very
interesting and beneficial, all agree
ing that the time given was too short
for so important meeting. BY a
Unanimous vote the ladies requested
that this feature of the farmers in.
stitute be continued, as 1t has given
us new thoughts and purposes, new
plans of action, aud higher aspir
ations for the mothers and the home.

IN A SPECIAL SESSION
Only Part of the Police Commit
tees Report Adopted.
CITY MUST READVERTISE
Eighs Hundred Dollars Too Much for q
Patrol Wagon-The Gamswell
Alarm System Will Be
Put In,

The city council met last night in spe-
cial session to consider the police COM
mittee's report with reference to the
proposed alarm and patrol system
There was much discussion, which re-
suited in the adoption Of that part of
the report relating to the Gamewell
alarm system and the rejection of that
part relating to the patrol wagon. The
patrol matter was referred back to the
committee with instructions to read
vertise for bids, at the same time Civ
ing plans and specifications as a guide
to the bidders.
Mr.. Macarthur thought that an $500
wagon was going too deep into luxur-
ious business, saying that he thought
much cheaper wagon would answer all
purposes.
Agent Sidley was present and stated
that as the council had advertised for
a patrol wagon, his house had given
price on a patrol wagon and not on
grocery wagon, hay wagon or any
kind Of a wagon but a patrol wagon.
Mr.. Macarthur also registered his in
clination to favor home industry in the
matter, as did other members of the
council.
The awarding of the contract to the
Gamewell people for the alarm system
was opposed by Messrs. Bausman, Me-
din and Virtue.

which was referred:
I'VE, the undersigned, respectfully
recommend Henry w. Linnenkohl for
the position of driver Of the police pa

same your favorable consideration"
r. L. Renshaw and Gustav Nikel pc
titioned the council to close Renshaw
alley for three days from the hours of
a. m. to p. M, in order that they
may uninterruptedly build a chimney
on Renshaw hall The alley at the de-
sired point is very narrow and teams
passing would retard the progress of
the masons. The petition was re-
ferred.
Alderman Bausman was granted
leave of absence from his ward for two
weeks. He is moving out of his house
and Will live in another ward until his
house is renovated.
On motion of Mr.. Macarthur the clerk
was instructed to advertise for bids

city for the period of one year The

fact that there We're some scavenser

said.

GLANCE AT RussIA's FUTURE,


Prediction as to the Effect of the Siberian
Railway. -
From the Pail Mall Magazine.
Speculation being rife as to- the results
that will follow the completion of the
Trans-Siberian railway, we shall try to
consluer whether Russia's advantages
derived from that undertaking will be
really so gigantic and SO full of danger to
her neighbors and rivals as Russian and
russophile papers are anxious to make us
believe. With regard to the future colon
iaztion of this outlying portion of the en-
pire of the car there is no doubt that
an unmistakable gain will be derived
for the growth of the population in ST.
IBERIA, where an area of 13,400, 600 square
miles is inhabited by only 100000 souls
and where extraordinary wealth in min
erals, woods and arabic lands still awaits
exploration, will certainly proceed with
greater strides than heretofore.
Without giving implicit faith to Russ
in official statistical data, it may fairly
be assumed that, owing to the particular
care the government has always taken as
to further colonization, the eminently ag-
ricultural Russian will probably avail
himself Of the offered facilities and that
the population in the hitherto empty
lands will considerably increase. 1t may
be objected that Russia, the most thinly
populated country in Europe, will hardly
f1nd surplus to provide for the newly
opened territory, but it must be borne in
mind that the Russian peasant is noted
Tor his migratory propensities. And be-
sides, since the emancipation of the serfs
in 1861, the agricultural proletariat having
steadily grown-the annual amount is
computed at 5000 men it is almost GER
tain that it will easily drift in an eastern
and southeastern direction, augmenting
thereby the total of the population. So
lar we readily agree with the Rus
sian statistics. but we cannot subscribe
to their prophecies as to the quickness
and extraordinarily high numbers of that
growth The calculation that, in the
lapse of the next hundred years the
aforementioned area of 1,1s7o00 square
kilometers will have a population of So
100000 or 100000 is certainly exaggerat-
ed and at all events inconsistent with the
increase hitherto noticed in more favora-
bly, situated and more accessible centers
of Western Russia. Even in the most fer
tile districts of Southwestern Russia the
density OF population remains far behind
that OF other European countries, for
whereas one ,reckons upon one square XII
lometer in France lis, in Germany 9I.5.
in Italy 1865, in England 122 and in Bel
GUM 30 Inhabitants in Southern Russia
we find only 1874.

The PLANT OF THE MERRiMAc
An IMP ubIished Poem by John freen
N leaf Whittier.

From the New York independent.
Nearly 80 years ago it was proposed
10 bulld summer hotel on Deer ISL
ana, Which is four or five miles from
the mouth OF the Merrimac. The river,
beautiful as are its banks along its en-
IRE course, nowhere presents more pic
turesque scenery than where it passes
through the deep valley it has worn for
itself between the hills of Amesbury
and NeWbury, and especially where its
tidal current is parted by the perpen-
dlcular cliffs of Deer Island At this
point the quaint old chain bridge, built
W years ago, spans the stream. To Mr.
Whittier this spot, so near his home
mad a special charm, and the idea of
desecrating it with hotel seemed a b.
horrent. These lines, now first printed
We're written as protest, and the rea-
son why they were not finished and
published was probably because The
project was abandoned. The island is
in the immediate vicinity of ',The Ian
rels" and of the Hardwood estate,
Whittier's lines, entitled The Laurels,"
contain this stanza:
1.-THE Hawkswood oaks, the storm-tost
plumes
OF the old pine forest kings,
Beneath whose century-woven shade
Deer Island mistress sings"
The reference here is to Harriet Pres
colt Spofford, the poet and novelist,
whose home occupies the site of the
proposed hotel, and under whose care
all the natural beauties of the spot are
now preserved, as the Amesbury poet
wished.-Samuel T. Pickard.

Our river making it's complaint
Complaining in its liquid way,
Thus it said. or seemed to say:
whats all this pother on my banks
Squirting eyes and prancing shanks-
Peeping, running, left and right
With compass and theodolite?'
would they spoil this sacred place?
Blotch with pain it's virgin face?
Do they-is it possible
Do they dream of a hotel?
Match against my moonlight keen,
Their tallow dip and kerosene?
Match their low walls, plaster spread,
With my blue dome overhead?
Bring their hotel din and smell
Where my sweet winds blow so well,
And my birches dance and ring.
While my pines above them sing?
This puny mischief has its day,
But natures patient tasks away
Begin where art and fashion stopped,
O'ergrow, and conquer, and adopt.
Still as far as now my tide shall flow,
While age on age shall come and go,
Nor lack through all the coming days
The grateful song of human praise"
