The nearness

catastrophe makes it impossible for us
to thoroughly realize the appalling ex-
tent Of the ruin and the suffering.
The whole nation is in much the
frame Of mind Of an individual whose
home is lost and whose loved ones are
gone, awaking at the dawn Of a sun
bright day, and attempting in vain to
adjust his mind and his soul to his mis-
fortune.
1t will take year to get the perspec-
tive Of the disaster, to thoroughly COM
pose ourselves and to understand it's
lessons, whatever they may be.
Of one fact the world is always and
Immediately cognizant and for one ire
fragible truth it is ever Immediately
thankful And that is that there is
sunshine after storm and strife, after
hurricane and fire and earthquake.
Not alone the sunlight Of heaven, but
greater and deeper and farther reach
ing is the sunlight Of our faith in God,
and of our love for our fellowmen.
Like the drrlmbeat Of Britain that en-
circles the globe in the dawn Of every
cline, so did the sympathy Of hu-
manity go out even from the farthermost

Russian Emierants in Paris

Russian Emigrants in Paris
The agitation among Russian emf
grants who have lately arrived in Paris
has recently led to disturbances similar
to those which took place some months
ago at the offices of the Jewish Benevo-
lent Committee. About fortnight ago
a group of some sixty attended at the
office of the Alliance Israelite emphatic
ally demanding help or to be sent to
America. The officials had to call In the
police in order to induce the visitors to
leave, but they returned, several times
uttering threats. These poor people
were under the impression that the Jew
ish societies are obliged to maintain them
and to occupy themselves with sending
them to new homes in other countries.
Some of them also imagined that in COM
ing to Paris they would gain a liveli-
hood But the economic situation in
Paris is such and trades are so over
stocked that they did not succeed in OBJ
tanning employment, especially as their
ignorance of the language places them
at disadvantage. However this may be,
they next decided to apply to the Ica
Accordingly last Friday they sent to the
offices two delegates, who asked to be
permitted to state the demands of the
group. The lea had some days pre-
viously selected from this group about
fifteen young men who appeared to them
suitable to be sent to America. The 9TH
ers were naturally not satisfied at not be-
ing allowed to share this privilege AS
the deputation did not meet with the re-
ception which they had expected they re-
turned to their comrades who were in
the streets, and who at once broke into
the office uttering threats. Dr. Sonnen-
field Gone of the directors) told them
that it was impossible to satisfy their
demands, but they had worked them
selves into such pitch of excitement
that they would not listen to reason.
They were urged to action by some of
their leaders. Proofs were recently af-
forded that among the most violent are
emigrants who were not victims of the
pogroms Of last November, but who have
been settled in Paris several years. At
ter having forced the doors, they COM
menced wrecking the furniture and in
order to prevent further damage, the DO
lice were called in. The majority fed
when the police arrived, but seven men
were arrested and will be prosecuted

reaches OF the earth to the stricken in
California.
Upon the Jews of the nation the blow
fell with crushing effect, for there is
hardly a family in the middle West or
East that did not have kin or friends
among the $4,000 Of our race who lived
in the ruined communities.
There was no spot in the land freer
from racial prejudice than San Fran
cisco; no locality in which differences
of belief were more thoroughly sub
merged in the fellowship that meant a
greater commercial and happier social
center.
Men of our creed were honored with
places upon the judicial bench, with
seats in Congress, with positions upon the
library and university boards. In fact
there was not communal activity in
which the Jew did not have prominent
part. Even in the midst of the wreck
and ruin San Francisco's foremost Jew
is at the head of the local relief commit
tee there.
Within the limits of brief editorial
it is impossible to adequately measure
the greatness of the relief work that is
now going on, or to express in mere
phrases the mighty flood Of sympathy
that is flowing like healing balm upon
the coast communities and upon its
fleeing residents.
Wherever they go clothing, food and
money is bountifully given them. Mer-
chants vie with each other in depicting
their stocks without thought of pecuniary
gain. Homes are thrown open to the
shelterless. Railroad officials are send
ing all those who apply to whatever des
tination they may have in mind, without
thought of asking a solitary penny
for the transportation. Men and women
and children are cheerfully depriving
themselves of actual needs that they
may not be counted among those who
had failed to give.
There was but one note sounded that
may possibly have an ill-effect, though
the nOblest Of motives was back of it.
And that to our mind was the refusal
of the President to accept a foreign
proffering. Each nation Of the world
has instructive and distinctive pride 1t
is a great privilege to give, and America
has never been refused the God-given
right to alleviate the woes Of India's
starving millions, Of those stricken by
tidal wave or famine in Japan, Of erup-
ton sufferers in St. Pierre and Italy, of
drought victims in Ireland, Of perse-
cuted thousands in Russia, in fact to as
suage pain and to relieve want wherever
there is the dire need, without reference

Fumigating the Orchard.

The insect tax upon this country's
agricultural interests is something
stupendous. Indeed, were it not for the
ravages Of insects, great and small, the
life and profits of the horticulturst
would be so attractive as to completely
change the present attitude toward
their occupation. The government ex-
perts are doing an enormous amount OF
educative work in determining the eX-
act organisms that are responsible for
each particular form of damage and
the best method of combating same. Flu,
migation is one Of the modern farmers

trlce, he clears his crops Of insect life
that If not held eradicated would prob
ably destroy his entire crop. In Call.

Profit in Forest Thinning.

A bulletin entitled Improvement
Thinning" has been issued by the State
forester of Massachusetts. The author
shows that the growth on considerable
areas can be improved and made more
productive by the application of moder-
ate thinning while the stands are in the
process of development Thin as often
as the material to be removed will pay
for its removal Is the rule laid down
as to how often to thin. AS to the de-
gree to which it is safe to thin, the
cover should never be broken to such
an extent that it will not close again in
two or three years and cast dense
shade. In answer to the objection that
is sometimes urged that such work Is
impracticable under existing conditions
Of the labor and wood market, the au-
thor refers to the fact that thinning
has been done and is going on now in
Massachusetts and neighboring States,
and that it has not only paid for itself.
but has in some instances yielded a net
profit Of from twenty-five cents to 81 on
each cord of wood removed.

An Eight-Sided Barn.

Here is plan for barn of the eight
sided or octagon shape. This octagonal
barn is % feet on each side, providing
accommodation for about fifty head OF
cattle. There is considerable gain
in floor space when the octagon form
is used instead of the square form, the
same amount of wall enclosing a great
er number of square feet. The main
objection to an eight-sided barn Is that
it is difficult to fill with hay fork or
sheaf carrier. This may be largely
overcome by erecting gable on one OF
the sides of the roof and running a
track in from that height, which may
be extended to within 20 feet Of the op,
posite wall. The roof requires to be
self-supporting and to secure this the
plates should be bolted together at the

Prepare the Wool Well.

A wool grower sending wool to mar
ket in a heavy, dirty condition, leav-
ing anything in the fleece to make
more weight, and expecting to get more
money is greatly mistaken. Buyers es-
innate the value OF the clip by the net
yield of clean wool. When growers do
their best they secure for themselves
the best results. The sOundness of the
fiber may be tested by stretching a
small staple between the fingers. Sta
pie 2h inches in length up, is classed
combing below clothing. Labor ex-
pended In preparing the clip for sale Is
well bestowed and brings its own re-
ward. The yolk in wool is the oily
substance which gives color and lends
softness to the fleece. 1t also promotes
the growth Of the fleece and prevents
the wearing Of the fiber. Good feeding,
shelter and care promotes this secre-
| ton.

. CHAPTER XXUI.


Maurice Frere found his favorable
expectations of Sydney fully realized.
His notable escape from death at Mac
quarie Harbor, his alliance with the
daughter of so respected a colonist as
Major Vickers, and his reputation as a
convict disciplinarian. rendered him a
man Of note. He received vacant
magistracy. and became even more not
ed for hardness of heart and artfulness
of prison knowledge than before. The
convict population spoke of him as "that
-Frere," and registered VOWS Of ven
geance against him, which he laughed
in his bluffness-to scorn.
One of the first things this useful
officer did upon his arrival in Sydney
was to inquire for Sarah Purfoy. To
his astonishment, he discovered that she
was the proprietor of large export ware
houses in Pitt street, owned a neat cot
tage on one Of the points of land which
jutted into the bay, and was reputed
to possess a banking account Of no in
considerable magnitude. He In vain
applied his brains to solve this mystery.
She had not been rich when she left
assured him, and appearances bore out
her assurance. How had she accumulat-
ed this sudden wealth? Above ALL why
had she thus invested 1t? He made in
quiries at the banks, but was snubbed
for his pains. Sydney banks in those
days did some queer business.
He had not been long established in
his ma agistracy when Blunt came tC
claim payment for the voyage of Sarah
Purfoy.
"well," said Blunt, "I've got a jot
on hand"
"Glad of it, I am sure. What sor1
of a job?"
"a job of whaling" said Blunt more
uneasy than before.
"Oh, that's it, is It? Your old lin,
of business. And who employs yor
now?"
MRS. Purfoy."
"Whatw cried Frere, scarcely able tt
believe his ears.
"She's got couple Of ships now, cap
tain, and she made me skipper of on,
of 'em. We take turn at harpoonini
sometimes"
Frere stared at Blunt, who stared a
the window. There was-so the instinc
of the magistrate told him-som
strange project afoot Yet that common
sense which so often misleads us urge,
that it was quite natural Sarah shoul,
employ whaling vessels to increase he
trade. "Oh," said he, "and when d
you start?"
"I'm expecting to get word ever
day." returned Blunt, "and though
I'd just come and see you first, in cas-
Of anything falling in"
Maurice Frere, oppressed with susp
cions, ordered his horse that Afternoon
and rode down to see the cottage whic
the owner Of "Purfoy Stores" had pul
chased. He found it low white built
ing, situated four miles from the cit.
at the extreme end of tongue Of Ian
which ran into the deep waters Of tn
harbor. A garden, carefully cultivate,
stood between the roadway and tn
house.

The early rye always shows Itself
soon after the weather begins to moder-
ate In the spring, and some farmers
usually then begin to use it for pastur-
age. 1t Is a mistake to use the rye too
early, as 1t may cause scours. 1t is very
laxative in its effects, being watery, and
change from dry feed to young rye
very early in the season may result In
loss of milk.

Drought Rather than Moisture.

Drought Rather than Moisture.
1t is much easier for one to be indie
pendent of dry weather than Of wet un-
less the soil is naturally wet, SO that
it may be pipe drained and thus get rid
of the excessive moisture and this Is an
expensive operation, but, nOtwithstand-
ing, most desirable one in the end.
Potato growers are perhaps more inter
ested in the problem Of how to battle
with dry weather than growers Of any
other crop and, under normal condi-
tions, the secret is simply to see that
the soil is properly supplied with hu-
mus or Vegetable matter.
1t is folly, or will be found so after a
few years, to attempt to grow potatoes
on the same ground year after year or
to grow them wholly by the aid of COM
mercial fertilizers. Here Is where 1t
pays to make every possible effort to
grow clover for getting heavy crops Of
clover under the soil will add the re-
ouired humus, which, In connection
with first t-class seed, care and cultiVa-
ton, will enable one to grow heavy
crops of potatoes in normal seasons and
better than your neighbor's in dry sea-
sons.
This question of getting humus into
the soil Is one that must be met sooner
or later by every farmer and especial
ly by those who pin their faith very
largely to commercial fertilizers.
