adh erence to the Articles Of Confederation.
Here we may point out that, but for the pro-
vision requiring the assent Of all Of the thir-
teen st ates for an amendment OF the Arti-
cles, the present Constitution might never
have been framed. or, if framed, might not
have been ratified We should probably
be living to-day under the Articles Of Con-
federation had they been amended 80 as TO
provide the general government with an
adequate revenue. II was the stubbornness
of Rhode Island that prevented such an
amendment. II will be recalled that, IN
order to obtain the revenue without which
1t could not even keep up an appearance OF
activity, the Congress of the Confederation
asked the States for permission to lay duties
upon goods imported from abroad. The first
request was made in 1881. and suggested
a tariff OF only per cent. upon imports.
The required amendment OF the Articles was
defeated by Rhode Island. A second at
tempt to gain revenue from similar source
failed, because only twelve States favored
the proposal. So it came to pass that the
Congress of the Confederation, having no
money with which to pay its debts. and no
power to enforce its demands became less
and less useful, till, at length, it's sessions
were seldom attended by enough members
to do business. Meanwhile, each State was
regulating its own commerce with the other
States and with foreign Powers just az Its
own interests dictated, and species OF COM
mercial warfare was waged between some
of the States. The only remedy for this
condition Of affairs was to bring about free
trade between the States and TO secure
uniform regulations for foreign commerce.
1t was therefore evident that more power
must he given to the Congress OF the Con-
federation. or that new central govern
ment must be established.
It might naturally be supposed that I'M
der such circumstances the Congress OF the
Confederation would favor any movement
that seemed likely to increase its own power.
As matter of fact, however, actuated by
jealousy, it for some time refused to sane
ton a constitutional convention. SO ur-
gent, nevertheless, was the need for some
change that most of the State Legislatures
themselves proceeded to elect delegates
to a convention TO he held in Philadelphia IN
1887, and, after the ma jority of the States
had chosen such delegates, the Congress
Of the Confederation gave its consent. II
will not be Mr.. Ashley's fault If the stu
dents of his book forget that the Phila-
delphia convention was called solely for
the purpose Of revising the Articles Of Con-
federation, and not with any Idea OF making
new Constitution Fortunately. as 1t
turned out, the States had elected some OF
their ablest men as delegates, and these
men did not hesitate to proceed to frame
a constitution OF an entirely new type,
because they believed that the Articles OF
Confederation could never be amended
so that they would be satisfactory. They
thought that the Articles were built upon
wrong foundation State sovereignty
and they therefore decided to construct
constitution that should rest. not upon
the States alone. but upon individual citi-
zens.

About Diamond carata.

We talk OF a diamond being so many
carats in weight. The carat was orig.
inally the seed of the Abyssinian carat
flower. These seeds are very equal in
size, and so were at one time used In
weighing gold and precious stones.
To-day the carat as applied to gold
means simply the twenty-fourth part
of the weight Of any piece of gold or
Of alloy of gold.

Guineaa.

AS to the practical utility of these
beautiful domestic birds it seems that
they are rejected on the majority of
our farms, and it Is on only an occa-
sional farm that they are found. If
you inquire why guineas are not raised
on the farm, almost the universal reply
Is that their noise is SO Objectionable,
that their noise is benefit in the way
of keeping away hawks. While l can
not whether they are of much use
for this, they are not SO noisy as many
people think. We have not lost many
chickens from the depredations of
Hawks occasionally carry away a
chicken. however. One thing l have
noticed is that the guineas are the bus
lest bug catchers on the farm, and they
are of great advantage in this way.
They will destroy insects that chickens
producers in the summer, as a guinea
hen will lay an egg each day during
the season If kept from sitting. While
the eggs are not as large as hens eggs,
they are of excellent quality. There
are two distinct breeds of guineas, the
white and the pearl. They are both
about the same size and about the
same in habits. The white guineas are
much tanner than the pearls, and they
are not so noisy. The white guineas
are quite as coed bug catchers and as
good producers of eggs as the pearls
They are preferable to the pearl gum
cas- on account of their tanner nature,
and they are not SO likely TO leave the
nest wheh eggs are taken out. | think
that when poultry raisers get better
acquainted with these birds they will
