The late Consul-G General Nast's berth
at Guayaquil is already filled. Yellow
fever has no perils for ambitious office
seekers.
1t does sometimes. In the early days
of President Grants first administra-

for an office, and for many days cooled
his heels in the ante rooms of the White
House waiting, like sicawber, for some

The nursery jingle tells us that
Old King Cole
WA a melrY old soul,


but our King Coal is the reverse of mer-
ry, at least, he does not produce merri-
ment in those who during this "cold
spell' have been saddened and shivered
by his absence from CRATE, stove and
furnace. 1t is the poor of the large
cities who are suffering most from the
coal famine; but with the great wealth
in such communities, the many chart
table and philanthropic societies, it is
not too much to expect that they will
be cared for. Here we have some of the
advantages of city with the advan-
tages of the country also. Gas and
kerosene are to be had for use in heat
ers, and there are many accumulations
of wood in the shape of old timber,
building material, boxes and barrels
that will now be utilized as fuel. Many
owners of wood lots who have found it
more economical in the past to sell their
wood and buy coal, will now provide
their own fuel. Then many have par
tial supply of coal left over from last
year, or obtained at a price greatly be
low that paid elsewhere, and with the
cargo of hard coal on the way and
the hope that ere many weeks other
cargoes may be had, the situation is not
as bad as it might be-

The New York Tribune Farmer OF
Dec. 18th contains two excellent ar
ticles by Enoch c. Dow, formerly OF
Monroe, now of Belfast. The first ex
ats the business of farming; and the
writer, ''a farmer from choice and not
from necessity" says he engaged in
farming because he decided that it was
"a better and bigger business than any
of the trades or so-called learned pro-
fessions." In conclusion he says:
Always there is something to learn
on the farm. The mechanic may be-
come machine; the preacher grows
small and narrow in his theology; the
lawyer gets sharp but limited; the doc
tor sickens of his pills and patients and
signs for broader life. The farmer
only, of all men, has business that al
ways broadens and develops if followed
The second article is on the value of
experiments, and urges that the work
of the experiment stations should be
by the farmer on his
farm.

Each heavy storm lessons the num-
Ger of two-masted schOoners of from
80 to 200 tons, and the majority now
in service have seen their best days.
Many are kept atioat by their cargoes
of lumber and by incessant labor at the
pumps. Very few vessels of this class
have been built in Maine in the past
twenty years, and we hear of none
building or to be built. Of course the
big schooners and the barges take
much of the freight formerly carried by
vessels of this class, and most of thu
coastwise business is done by steamers
But it would seem that there is still
need for these smaller vessels, and how
is that need to be met when the presen
