Duelist Prime Ministers.
From the London Chronicle

Although none of our premiers can
match the f1re-eating record of the
head of the Hungarian cabinet, who
has just fought his third duel this year,
a good number of them figured on the
dueling ground. John Wilson Croker
wrote in 1871: within the last hun
dred years six persons have fought
duels who have been prime ministers
Pulteney (Lord Bath, Lord Shelburne
Mr.. Pitt, Mr.. Fox, Mr.. Canning and the
Duke of Wellington. 1 might almost
add Peel who twice challenged, and
who was almost a first
minister. OF late years the custom has
certainly decreased, and the house of
lords has not now. 1 dare say. above
half dozen who have actually

ANOTHER GROWL AT THE FAR
MER.

T is given to some of us some
times, to get a thorough
working knowledge of condi-
n tions, to know of the faults
which exist, and which may be rene
died.
Last week we had some things to
say to the farmer, on the score of
conditions under which his children
go to school, We took the stand
that, in this matter, the farmer has
been sleeping on his rights and we
said he was not insisting on the
square deal for his children. The
school term is too short in the coun-
try districts, the school houses are
not what they should be and the
equipment, from books to teachers
are not what the city schools would
accept for the city children.
We haven't heard anything from
the farmer yet, and we are going to
have another say, this time on the
way the farmer treats himself and
his wife.
Is there any real reason why the
average farmers home should be as
devoid of comforts, as it is? Isn't it
the exception rather than the rule
to find a farm house with room
comfortably furnished, with any of
the cheaper modes of lighting and
heating that require so little, COM
paratively outlay, and which return
a thousand fold in comfort, for that
outlay?
When the Last Day really dawns,
and all the hidden things are made
light, it is going to confound the
maker of many tombstone to hear
what will be really given as the
statute of many a wife who has lain
under stone that cost more money

than her husband spent on or for her
while she lived. 1t is queer streak
in humanity that parades virtues for
the benefit of the looker-on, when
the object would have done so much
in gratitude had they been told half
the nice things the stone tells, after
it is too late to make much differ
ence. Many a poor woman would
have saved the undertaken a days
work, if her husband had given her
a washing machine while she was
breaking her back and bringing on
rheumatism, bending over the wash
tub. Many another poor soul would
have been saved the final illness, if
she had cooked in a room that had a
floor less like a vault than the aver
age farm kitchen, and a stove that
would not require so much attention.
And a farmer of the average sort
will nearly throw a fit if you sug-
gest he buy the wife a washing
machine or a new range-though he
can see the immediate necessity
when the "farm-machine man comes
around, for saving his own steps in
the matter of sowing, reaping and
binding.
lieves in letting other folks have for
money the things he could eat and
enjoy, is another thing the Last Day
will have to settle. There are farms
where chickens and squads "are
raised for the Market" where every
pound of butter is reckoned as so
much income, and the family is not
permitted to enjoy these products.
There are other farms where the
COWS and horses are made comfort
able in alright barns, with ventila-
ton of the most approved pattern,
and where the bedding for these is as
carefully considered as though they
were human, but where the humans
are huddled in draughty, lily venti-
lated bedrooms, and with cotton COW
erings of the most meagre descrip-
ton.
If ever I get rich enough, I am
going to go around the country and
lecture to the farmers, and it won't
be on agricultural subjects, either. l
am going to tell of the comfort a
woman can derive from a comfOrta-
BILE rocking chair, when it is up
against warm, sunny window, in
the winter time, and there is good
fire going in an-up-to-date stove;
am going to demonstrate the virtues
of the fireless cooker, which will
enable the Mlssus to go to the meet
ings at the school house when Jenny
and Tommy are going to speak their
piece and listen to it with no fear Of
the dinner hour, and no dinner. l
am going to show how perfectly love-
ly the washing will wash the
clothes, and then I am going to prove
that a first-class gasolene engine will
cost less than a first class funeral,
and how many things it can do on
the farm.
And finally, my brethren I am go
ing to prove by statistics that the
Lord never meant anyone to wear a
black dress, and if any farmers wife
is found with one, and is known to
be treasuring it as her best for a
matter of a dozen years or so, she
will be fined and imprisoned at a
time when all the other farmers
wives are going on picnics or to

Maybe buying a rocking chair or
