Help an Old Lady Across
the Street.
Review.

She was sweet old lady, but afraid
of the confusion of the busy street.
As she hesitated, the boy came up.
He took off his cap and smiled
Let me help your he said.
With the feeble old arm in his, he led
her safely over. 1t cost him only a
minute aud little thought.
1t was tribute that youth owes to
age.
1t VAS simple kindness.
Il was thoughtfulness, and, of course,
politenes-, because politeness is moth
ing but consideration and thoughtful
ness of other people.
1t was sympathy. The feeling that
made the boy want to be of some sery-
ice to the old lady was the same feeling
that makes every one of us who has a
heart and is not ashamed of it want to
help everybody who is down or in
trouble or unable to help themselves.
And it was chivalry toward woman
kind. We all possess that-some of it.
Il is such tremendous pity, isn't it,
that we are growing so selfish that we
-
haven't always time to be courteous?
There are still places in big, busy
America where men take off their hats
in public elevators when women are
present. Foolish? Perhaps. But the
spirit that prompts it isn't foolish. 1t
is only survival of that world-old feel
ing that every man owes all respect to
every woman.
When the boy helped the old lady be
not only assisted her and himself did
kind act, but he furnished lesson to a
whole world full of people. Cincinnati

Nearly 100000 Move TO Canada.

1t will surprise many people to learn
the extent to which emigration has been
flowing from the United States to Ca
NADIA. There has been general know
ledge that many have moved across the
line, but not that the number has reach
ed 272, 500 in 10 years. Yet these are
the figures given by Chairman e. E.
Mcleod OF the Western Passenger asso
citation, who presumably has informed
himself from official returns.
1t is stated that during the II months
ended June 30, this year, 10, 1873 persons
from the United States made homestead
entry in western anada. These repre-
sent population of 81 800 This shows
large falling off from the pres ding
year when the total was 57,9l9, and it
may be that the tide has spent its
strength.
The movement to Canada was largely
the result of the activity of Canadian
agents working in different parts OF this
country, who have presented an allur
ing picture TO the farmers of the pros
poets which the Canadian southwest
held out TO them and of the liberality of
the homestead laws. In some sections
of that country there are good home
making possibilities, but numerous re
ports of disappointment that have come
back are likely to have a discouraging
effect on many who may have thought
OF pulling up stakes and moving north
The decrease OF 26, 419 for the past year,
shown by the figures above quot d, is
significant OF a changing sentiment, aud
indicates that it is scarcely probable
that the next decade will furnish as
many emigrauts as the past.-Spokes-
man Review.

implements, who takes the time to
clean and oil them and to see that ev-
erything is in good working order when
he puts it away for the winter, is not
thinking of the drudgery of the work,
but is thinking Of the pleasure which
1t will afford him when the harvest is at
hand and the days of rushing work are
upon him. The young man Of the farm

colt with the utmost attention, to clean
the harness with scrupulous care, to
wash the carriage, is not always think

Doing Little Things.

Doing little things takes up much
time, and yet the larger part of success
is in the doing of these little things.
This attention to detail often tries the
patience. There is not much enthusi-
asm generated by the thought that dull
routine makes up the bulk of life.
There is, however, more than one way
of looking at these little things. With
powerful microscope the little things
of nature become marvels of curiosity
and the interest becomes aroused to the
pitch of enthusiasm. So, when one con
siders the undeveloped possibility in
paying strict attention to details Of
ones work, he will see success pictured
in these very details.
1t would seem out of the question to
the average farmer to select the best
ears OF ripening wheat and to further
pick out the best kernels from each OF
those ears or seed and yet what time
will pay as large returns to the farmer
as this very close and time consuming
attention To the selection Of seed wheat?
You say there is no enthusiasm about
this tiresome work. Just talk with
some one who has done it, who sees tile
possibilities of a large increase in the
number of bushels aised to he acre,
solely by this attention to one of the
details OF farming, aud you will not
wonder that lie who does it no longer
regards the work as drudgery.
Drudgery is word coined for the use
Of the unfortunate ones who, in large
measure, are deaf and dumb and blind
to the possibilities of success in life.
They see in the pollen particles of dust.
They have no microscope with which to
explo . the wonders of life in these par
ticles of dust. They do not STOP to
think that those things which they re-
gard as the mere time given to drudgery
become entrancing hours with such
men as Thomas Edison and Luther
Burbank. The fruit grower who goes
through his orchard early in the season,
consuming hours IN picking off hun
dreds and thousands of immature
apples, has his enthusiasm aroused as
he thinks Of the we'll developed and
highly colored fruit which will result at
harvest time from this otherwise tedious
work
The farmer who takes the trouble
aud time 10 put up'a shed to house his
