Harrison Against Hanna.

New York World.
While Mr.. Hanna was talking in
the senate yesterday on the neces
si,y of giving our merchant maine
$. me 'protection"-as, though every
tor eign- ade article used in our
shipyards was not already admitted
free IF duty. and no foreign-buiit
ship admitted to American registry
ex President Harrison was ous in a
statement regulating his alleged ap-
prevail of Hanna's subsidy bill. Sub
sidy is not protection, but something
much less jnstifiable.
The great republican leaders of
the pre-Hanna perioo were all pro
tectionists, like Mr.. Harrison, but
not subsidists, like Mr.. Hanna.
John Sherman, the great predecessor
of Hanna, was for free ships, but
never for subsidies. Senator Nor
iin OF Maine said: s.Not a dollar of
subsldies." Senator Chandler, the
great Zach. of Michigan, said: ''You
will never restore your flag to the
ocean by subsidies. I care not how
great you make Them" And Sen
ator Edmunds truly characterized
subsidies as nothing but ga favor to
a set of men who wish to get some
money out of the treasury"
But with the ascendancy of "com
mercialism in politics" the repub-
lican attitude has changed.

tanned an interview obtained by the

of Princeton, N. J. The pride with
which the Journal announced its
success in obtaini' 6 hitherto I'M
obtainable expression from Mr..
Cleveland was sufficient to provoke
smile, but the thing became much
more amusing when the Journal it
self arrived and it was seen that the
interviewer simply plastered the IN
terviewed with fattery, such as this:
MIR. Cleveland, you are the most
successful Democrat of the past
fifty years. You have made more
history than any Democrat since
Andrew Jackson and so on I'm

went away pattng himself on the

rosy and happy.

TEACHING A CHILD
 NUMBERS.

It IS unwise to teach the child to run over the names 0f numbers without associating the name$ with any meaning. "He can count to five-to ten." boasts some thought less parent, when the baby-tOngue has repeated the string of one. two. three, etc. And but little. more useful is the plan now followed of having baby count objects, such as spools or pennies. All this is ar tificial training, sure to disappoint our expectations in the end. For some day when baby is displaying his little accomplishments he makes sad blunders. He puts five be- fore two; leaves out four altogether and when questioned thinks three is more than six, and shows utter ignorance of any power of genuine counting. This Is not at all sur prising. The words one, two and so on mean absolutely nothing to him until there has grown up in his mlnd the sense Of quantity.

TIMELY HINTS FOR FARMERS. NO. I5.
 Dehoring Cattle.
BY THE SToCKMAE.

The thought of saying something up- on this subject was suggested 10 the writer by seeing promising young bull suffering the loss of his horns by what seemed to be most barbarOus method. The poor brute uad been thrown and was lying with three feet tied together, his head fastened to one post and one hind foot drawn back by pulley and tackle to another. Three men and g boy were working about his head help ing to saw off the horns The dry pow dery manure of the corral was used to stop the flow of blood The operation of dehorning must cause some pain but it need not he accompanied by such rough handling as to endanger tine future usefulness of the animal dehOrned.
 There are few men, if any, who have handled hOrnless cattle that dc not ap- preciate the advantages of dehorning and who do not strongly advocate it's practice Not only is danger of injury froIl hooking avoided but the animals are more quiet and peaceable, giving better results m tne milking corral and the feed lot With the loss of their horns they seem to lose the desire to fight. It is no longer question as to whether cattle shall be dehorned or not but question of when and how 10 do 1t.

 Matters.
Work of Investigation by Elwood Mead.

While for great many years there has been much talk of urg ing upon Congress the necessity and importance of retaining the Arid West through series of in ternal improvement by the govern ment, there has been but little SC, ri0us or concerted effnrt made ir this direction. Great undertak- ings are not accomplished in a sin gle year of agitation and some oI the most beneficial measures ever enacted were before Congress for q long period of years. But the failure of the government thus far tO appropriate money for reservoir construction has led some men to assert that 1t is useless to make any further attempt to induce Con- gress to render this desired assist anee, This Is certainly a very su. pc ficial view of the situation. The records of Congress show that until the last two years almost mo- thin has been attempted in the way of introduction of bills, urging the matter before committees or any other direct work done to accom- plis the construction of storage res ervoirs, Such claims, therefore, made by some few men that be- cause Congress has not, during the past twenty years, favorAbly con- sidered the proposition, and has not appropriated anything for the building of storage reservoirs. that therefore it will be just as we'll for the West to give up such a use- less campaign and combine on some other policy, ,smust be consid- cred as weak and nerveless view.
 FEDERAL RECOGNITION.
 Altho the policy of national ald in the building of storage res ervOirs has not yet been established yet Congress is fully alive to the importance of the irrigation sub- ject and regularly appropriate con siderable sums for stream measure ments, reservoir surveys, irrigation investigations, etc. The present agricultural bill carries $35,000 for irrigation investigations by the De- partment of Agriculture and appro- priations have been regularly made by Congress for such work since 1890. The Department is now do- ing active work along this line.

When he realizes the distinction between a few objects and many oI the same kind, he is beginning to grasp the great generalization inn plied in the power of measurement, He must get an indefinite sense of the difference between large masses and small masseH, many objects and few objects, before he can at all comprehend that there are def mite degrees of value. Intelligent children take pleasure in compar- ing one thing with another. They love to measure sand'to weigh ar- ticles in miniature scales; they con tinually 1note differences between objects, and altho their distinc- tions are always crude and some times absurd, they occasionally show surprising sharpness i'll find ind out contrasts.
 This faculty of discerning differ, ences is closely allied to what is called mathematical faculty. Yet how many parents will applaud the child who shows readiness to re. peat numbers and frown down the nonsense" of curiosity as to rela- tive weights -and sizes, or the child who insists on details.- Woman's Home Companion.

SNOWFLAKE GLEANINGS.

Editor, St. Johns Herald,
 Dear Sir:-- In looking over your
 last issue, and especially the Edu-
 catioual department; am remind
 ed of some very interesting visits
 recently made to the B. Y. P. A. at Provo, and some also at the city
 schools: especially one at the Web
 ster Schools, under the direction of
 Supt. Keeler. At Provo, was in-
 troduced to Prof. Brimhall, by
 whom we were very cordially re-
 ceived and two young ladies from
 your County were sent to escort us
 through the~building. The Acade-
 my is strictly a church school and .iss accomplishing much good in that direction. The city school, a.
 bove mentioned, was strictly up to.
 date; and after witnessing the en-
 trance and departure of 900 pupils
 in the best of order, every one in step and apparently happy and contented 1t brought forth favora-
 bie comment for those in charge.
 The music was furnished by some
 pupils who operated upon a piano in the lower corridor playing 4 < 6 handed pieces, with a precision that was delightful. h visiting the different rooms, each depart ment was examined at their spe- cial work, and a more interested school faculty would be difficult to find. Many new ideas were notice able that could be profitably intro duced at home. This being my first visit for 20 years you can readily 1 imagine the great changes that have taken place; instead of the mule street cars, everything is run by e. lectricity. Street cars, and electric lights was q grand sight. My GU. riosity led me 10 the power house of the city car system and also of. the lighting department. I was in troduced to the master mechanic in charge, who kindly showed me a- round. The power house was idle. two Corliss engines, with boilers, dynamos &c, were in good condi- tion and could be started in very short time; but the power was fur nished and the electricity generated in Cottonwood Canon and trans mitted to this place thru two small wires at an intensity of 250O volts which was reduced at this place by q machine. resembling a dynamo, to about 600 volts and passed thru the street car cables and lamp wires at that amount of force. Each car line was self registering in this room by aa indicator that showed the horsepower being expended up on every line and which was record ed automatically from the different indicators by d general indicator at a regular time each day. The gen. tleman in charge took pains to ex- plain an simplify every thing to my understanding.
 In attending the Conference, I was surprised at the many changes that are in evidence.

1 Elwood Mead. who is carrying on
 this work in the field, flor more systematic investigation 10 deter.
 mine the volume of water used in the growth of crops. both to ascer-
 tain the requirements of different crops and of different climates, and
 to determine the relations between
 the variations in the demands of
 crops aud the fluctuations in the
 flow of streams. This information
 is needed as a basis for the proper
 diversion of streams by admins
 trative officers. It is needed by
 canal builders in order to properly design these structures and it is
 needed by farmers to promote the
 saving uf water and thus limit los
 ses thro an adequate supply, or
 to extend the acreage which can be cultivated.
 PRACTICAL. MEASUREMENTS. Measurement should be made to show the utility of storage reser
 voirs and the part they can be
 made to perform in both saving the crops of farmers now living along streams and making it possible for others to settle there. Without a definite knowledge of the variation which exist between the use of Wa ter in different months of the irri- gatiOn season and the fluctuatior in the discharge of a stream, we can only conjecture as to the amount of flood water available for storage"
 It will be no small task, accord ing to MT. Mead, to put into shape a correct and intelligible guide which may be relied upon as an authoritative summary of the data on which the development of the irrigation system of the great West 1 should be founded.
 THE CANALS of EGYPT.
 The great system of canals that afford fertility to Egypt has been developed at an expense of fearful and labor on the part of it's constructors. Many of the larg- est of the canals have been built by unpaid labor, or what is known as the corvee. When Mehemet Ali, lt the beginning ofthe century, be- gan the canals which today cut up he country, corve6s of more than 500,000 men were seen, drafted rom every part of Egypt, digging he Mahmoudieh canal At that : ime the labor demanded annually ly this despotic power correspond sd the employment of 450,0O0 la-I ,orers for four months. The poor TELLAHs who were thus driven to { 'nerous labOrs, usually received no benefit thereby to their own lands. { The methods employed in excavat- ng were the most primitive. The , 'nly tools used were the PASS, a { ,ind of large hoe and the CoUFFIN, |
 basket woven from the stems of T ,alms. The corvee was usually ivided into diggers and carriers, | nd children frequently constituted t he latter. The cOrvee was direct t d by none too gentle overseers. | II the digging of Egypt's canals, r he lash has played an important T. art.-Guy E. Mitchell.
