ITHE ESTIMATES OF
KEEN CRITICS.
undsr@ritten by Wanamaker Once
the General Secretary at
Philadelphia.

Regarding the Young Menls Chris
tian Association, as It's business Is to
deal in men, and men are at t1e foun-
dalton line Of all business enterprises,
All educational enterprises, all rcli-
gious enterprises, all home.makIng,
all city government, 1t is impossible
that any one believes that anything
as the development and Strengthening
of upright and noble life in the young
men who are swiftly passing on to
take the places of those Of us who
must naturally give way to them.
I The present day Young Mems Chris
tlan Association is the improved prod.
.uct Of the years Of experiment and
experience and is a magnificent arti
Gle for the use 1t is intended for. 1t
is four.fold better than it was twenty
years ago in all its practical plans
and operations. l have been con.
tinuous observer Of Its enlarging and
improving life and l have been glad
to be a given, because Of the results
in its touch upon character and its
influence in moulding the lives Of
young men.
/ j cannot, as a business man, too
strongly inlorse and underwrite the
work OF the Young Mems Christian
Association as practical and endpr-
ing agency TO benefit a city on the
side Of the men who are now and who
in the future must be Its most I'M
portant citizens.
JOHN WANAMAKER,

response to an invitation to speak at

 Grasshoppers show the longest feet on earth for their size, and

The poliece force of St. Louis is puzzled over the identity of a young fellow who has rorized the city by stabbing women. Thirteen or fourteen women, most of them young, are the victims of his assaults. The miscreant attacks his victims on
 the streets. He doesn't seem disposed 10 kill them, but con- tents himself by giving them a stab in the leg, arm or body and then fleeing. In most instances the women who have been stab bed received their wounds before they knew anybody was near them.

What Farmer Can do in the
 Winter.

W1ntefs
 He can take care of his stock, see that it is we'll stabled and fed, and that it gets sufficient exer- else.
 He can repair tools of all kinds and get them ready for work in the spring.
 He can fix up things in the barn so that they will be more convenient. He can do this in the house, too.
 He can, during pleasant days, look over the wood lot, cut old trees for wood or lumber, clear out brush where necessary, pre- pare wood for next winter, etc.
 He can grub out bushes, fill ditches, haul away stones, and repair fences, if any of these things need to be done.
 He can get his hotbeds going.
 He can do many of the little odd jobs that he has neglected because he did not have time to do them.
 He can study seed catalogues, implement catalogues, and all other catalogues which are likely to be useful to him.
 He can read and study agri- cultural papers and books, and other good books and papers. It would be good idea for him to select some branch of his work for special study, and to take this up systematically and thoroughly. He can visit the schools.
 Best of all, he can rest and can cultivate the virtues of patti ence and cheerfulness.

A IIotbed OF Violence.

The island of Sardinia is a hotbed Of
violence. The ''Granary Of Rome" re-
sists the softening influences of civill-
zation and remains with many of tie
peculisrities which distinguished it in
the middle Of the last century. In the
country" writes traveller Of that
time, "thc men are clothed in goats1iGs,
one before and another behind, With
out breeches. shoes or stockings, and
a woolen Or skin cap on the head. The
women have no other hab!liments than
a long wooden gown and a woolen cap.
The peasants always go armed to de-
fend themselves from one another, for
they are all robbers and assassins, so
that travelling in the interior is extreme
ly unsafe without an escort, and it is
even dangerous for ships to send their
people On shore for water unless they
are we'll armed. In short, the Sardes
are the Malays Of the Mediterranean"
