One of the best-known dining places
in the world is about to be sold. The
Star and Garter" of Richmond Hill,
near London, is familiar through pic
ture, poetry, prose and experience. In
1873 the original house was erected
ON lot of ground leased for two
pounds sterling year. Twenty years
later the little inn had expanded into
the chief hotel in the vicinity of Lon
don. Most of the famous characters
of the world, and many of those of
fiction, have dined at the Star and
Garter Kings and princes have been
its patrons. Louis Philippe lived there
for six months after his flight from
Paris, and Napoleon III had apart
ments there. Indeed, at one time or
another. almost every distinguished
man Of the day has visited the great
Richmond Hill hostelry.

NEEDED relief. Charity must ally itself
with common sense; must think of
effectiveness. Charity is called upon
to vote for good laws. Part of it's
mandate is to inspect inspection and
hold officials to strict accountability.
The extension Of high ideals and the
incubation of rules of health and
thrift belong to its range of action.
To speak aloud for justice to the weak
and ignorant may multiply good when
almsgiving would be useless. To see
that the general welfare is promoted
by whatever strengthens and upllfts
not an occasional individual, but the
whole mass of the lowly, is the be-
ginning Of the charity which would be
abreast Of knowledge and foremost
agent of civilization.

Boys Use of BarOmeterS.

Every English schoolboy who can af-
ford it has a barometer that he keeps
hidden under his bed or in his trunk,
for in all English schools barometers
are strictly forbidden to the pupils.
Why should they be forbidden? Why
should they be desired? Through the
autumn and winter the English school
boy plays football every afternoon,
weather permitting. He must play two
hours each clear day These two hours
are taken off his recitations. They
make his school tasks two hours light
err; hence when he knows beforehand
that the next day will be clear he may
spare himself two hours of useless
study the night before. His barometer
pointing to fine" saves him a lot of
toll. But when the instrument points
to change then the schoolboy knows
that there will be no football. He of
ten sells weather predictions at a pen
ny apiece. -Philadelphia Bulletin.

Yes. city improvement'-[C, w.
Taylor.
It certainly has been more difficult
to get competent help for the last
four years. This year we got help at
harvest time from Texas to Ohio and
Tennessee, but they are not accus-
toned to our style Of labor, having
worked in shops and almost any other
kind of work except farm work. BY

Taylor.
In your Judgment is there any plan
by which system of proft-sharing
could be inaugurated by which farm
ers could get their help to take great
or interest in the work and continue
longer in their employ
Not in America. &c. W. Taylor
The only method of proft-sharing
that we have been able to inaugurate'
is the ordinary renting plan in which
the renter furnishes the labor and
teams and gives the proprietor one
third or two-hfths grain rent. Then
the help put in longer hours OF labor
and take greater interest in their
work. And the tendency here is to
increase this system and decrease the
hiring Of help by the month or year.
III. H. Taylor.

by the month";

be Of no use. nc. W. Taylor.

the time we have them partially
trained, which may take from three
drys TO a week, they are ready to
SKIP out and seek fresh pastures. We
have tried to overcome this by cutting
down our hours to ten hours field
work, and no chores except taking
care of the team which they handle
~. H. Taylor.
DO 20 consider that the average
wages paid to farm help are as good
or better. everything considered, than
pay for other kinds Of work requiring
the same amount OF skillP r
No. &c. W. Taylor.
The average wages paid to farm
help are from five to ten dollars a
month more than we used to pay.
We consider that steady help will
save more money on the farm than at
higher wages in town. IL. H. Taylor
bit a fact that farm help do n9t
take as much interest in the work Of
their employers as in former years,
and to what do you attribute this
condition?
Yes. Poorer class of men. &c. W.
Taylor.
The farm help that we get now do
not take as much interest in the work
Of their employers as in former years;
then we get our help who were farm
raised. When you ask man to milk
a few COWS, you will get the answer,
she does not know how to milk" and
what is more does not care to learn.
We attribute this condition to the
allurements and high wages OF rail-
road life, and the immense amount Of
help required in repairing and build
ing telephones, running manufactur-
ing plants, ETC., in building cities
