Now for the boy from the farm this
much needed change ean be most
easily and effectively brought about
by the Introduction of elementary
agriculture as one of his studies.
The boys interest in farming opera
tons have already been awakened at
home, and if the school will stimu-
late that interest by showing the re-
lationof farming to the industries,
to trade, and all things that make
Tor mans comfort, il. will be quite
easy to interest him in studies neCes-
sary to tile prosecution of his chosen
vocation. Such studies will then
mean something to him because he
will see their relation to farm activi-
ties in which he is already interested.
Besides, the boys observations out
side of school have already i%ntroduc-
ed him to the elements of many sci
ences, and instead Of putting him at
work in school on subjects entirely
foreign to his education up to the
time he entered, these elements of
knowledge should be made the START
ing point of his school work.

salt Water Fails.

There are a good many salt cataracts
In existence. They may be found in
Norway, southern Chile and British Co
lumbia, where narrow iords, or arms
of the sea, are obstructed by barriers
Of rock. The rising tide flows over and
filters through such reefs into the great
natural reservoirs beyond, but the wa
ter is held back at the ebb until 1t
breaks over the obstruction in an ire
sistible torrent. Most curious Of all is
the waterfall at Canoe passage, where
the island of Vancouver approaches the
British Columbia mainland. Here the
food tide from the gulf of Georgia, to
the southwark, Is damned back at a
narrow cleft between two islands until
Il pours over in a boiling cascade eight
cen feet high, with perhaps double the
volume Of the Rhine. At the turn Of
the tide, however, the waters from the
north rush back into the gulf, produc-
ing a cascade of equal height and vol
ume. This salt water fall actually flows
both ways.

said to have caused quite a loss to
the farmers and the ANIMALS die very

tin Gleason has lost nearly 125 head.
1t is reported up in Budger town

hogs, how many. though. cannot be
ascertained. The d~iseaseis not prev
1alent in all parts of the county, hut
only IN certain localities. Where
there is no disease the hogs are show
ing no symptoms Of disease and are
doing fine this winter.
Reports OF a similar character are
sent out from various parts of the
state that cholera is prevalent and
that the loss wherever it has gained a
footeold has turned out large.

CHOCOLATE.

The first newspaper notice that an
nounced the sale of cocoa and chocolate
in America read:
"Amos Track, at his house a little be-
low the Bell tavern i'll Danvers, makes
and sells chocolate which he will war
rant to be good AMI takes cocoa to
grind. Those who may please to favor
him with their custom may depend up

cheap rate
This notice appeared in the Essex
Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th
Of June, I'LL. five years before the
signing of tie Declaration of %Independ-
ence. Despite Mr.. Trask's assurance
that his rate was cllenp. chocolate was
very expensive and beyond the purse of
any but the wealthy folk. Wouldn't
they be surprised to see how generally
chocolate is sold these days in packages
as cheap as a penny?
When the Spanish soldier Cortes con
quered Mexico in 1919 he found the
people very fond of a drink called
Chocolate" This was served to the
ruler Montezuma in a cup of solid gold.
When the %Spaniards went home they
introduced this drink into their coun-
try, but it remained very expensive.
The secret of its preparation was never
allowed to get out of Spain. Now it is
the cheapest article of food and drink
we have.

1t was the daguerreotypist Hesler Of
Chicago who inspired Longfellow to
write "Hiawatha." Mr.. Hesler was
one of the most eminent of his profess
sion, and in 1851 the London worlds
fair awarded him the prize medal for
daguerreotypes. One Of them, a pic
ture Of the falls of Minnehaha, came
into the poets possession and furnished
immediate inspiration for the poem.
In testimony Of his debt to Mr.. Hesler
Longfellow sent him a bound volume
Of his poems with his signature and
compliments on the fly leaf.

migratory habits, the herring especial
~ so. These fish approach the New

are captured in great quantities, but
this is only during a few months every
year, while for the remainder they
withdraw to some waters the location
