The man tought back, and it was not
until a chair had been broken, and the
table upset that he was hauled outdoors
by the legs, and given a fling througrh
the gate. Then, as the muscular citi
zen laced his boot wvhere it would do
the most hurt, he remarked: "Now,

An Idea Worth Adopting.
T1he water supp~lly ab~roadl is SO often
of a dloubtful charaoter that travelersi
have resorted to the prudienit ex pedient
of dlrinking only some wvell-knowvn min
cral wvater-. 'Thiereupon a large trade
has been (done in thme purchase fronm ra
and bottle mnerehants' of such minerrt
water bottles as still bore the labels in a
fairly good condlition. It was then easy
to lill them wvith or-dinarv andl possibly
contaminated water, adding salt to give
the taste andl appearance of the dlesired
mineral spring. By this fraud the con
sumer was not merely robbed but made
to drink the very water lhe was dloingr
his best to avoid. We are therefore
pleased to niote that in France at least
the Pr-efeet of Police has ad opted e
getic measures to cheek this abuse.
Orders have been given to visit all de
pots of mineral wvaters, to seize hap
hiazard a spieie and1( analyze it on the
spot. TFhe tradesnmen wvill also be called
upon to exhibit their invoices to prove
whence their stock is dlerived. Not only
are the stores of wholesale agents or
dealers to be thus inspected, but the re
tailors, the cafe, restaurant andl public
house keepers will be subIjcted to an
equally vigorous supervision, and all

Agricultutre and National Prosperity.
Never before perhaps in the history
of the country has greator interest boon
taken in tle grdwing brops than at the
presont time. The supply of coreals in
the country is small, meat of all kinds is
searceo and high, and almost for the first
time has there been a necessity for im
porting potatoes, roots, anl garden
vegetables. The eoming harvest will
find ample 10oo1 iri the now cipty lin1,4j

It has been tentiarked that the world is
orditarily within less than a year of
starvation, and that hunger can not wait.
We are nearer the realization of this
startling statement than we have been
for many years. Wo have more people
to feed than we ever had before, and
the number is constantly increaLsingv.
Ordinarily some articles of food are
plentiful and eheap, but at present ev
erything is deai'. Even corn meal, salt
pork, potatoes, and cured fish are high.
Persons can not live cheaply if they de
sire to. Every article that will help
support life in man or the Inferior ani
nmas comilands i good price., At prcs
bnt every one takes an interest in the
reports of condition of crops and is de
sirous of obtaining the latest informa
tion respectin them. I'here is anxiety

A larger propirtion of the inhabitants
of this country are directly engaged in
agriculture than can be found in al Mit
any couttry hi ti World. In the
great riarkets where the coinoreo of
all nations center we exchange grain, I
meat, cotton, and tobacco for manufac
tured articles. If we (1o not produe
thon in abundance we havV; nothing with
which we tart darry on foreign trade.
Our tariff laws, designed to build up do
mestic manufacturers to cupply local
consumption, have an injurious effect
on the manufacture of artieles for ex
port. The prosperity of nearly all our
manufactures depends. on the lWdud
ion of rawkr materials thAt (!an bo work
ed up. We make cotton cloth from lint
produced from our own fields. Our ci
cars are manufactured from laome-grown
tobacco. The whisky, alcohol, glicos;c,
and starch we make for home con:.
sumption and export arj ptodlu'edd from
corn. A shorutgo in the corn crop re
sults in the decline of the amount, of ar
ticles produced from it. We never im
port corn, and it is diflicult to find a
substitute for it in the articles we aro
in the habit of manufacturing from its
The prosperity of our mfanufacturcra
depends nd irec tly, as *chi as directly,
on the prosperity cf OUr agriculture. A
Iai'ge proportion of our pcopie1 depend
on the crops they raise for the meanIs to
purchase manufactured goods of every
kind. They must restrict their oon
sumptioni to their ability to buy
and make payment with the
product of thuir fiolds. If crops)
are smnall, only mnanufactunred
articles of necessity can be purnchasedt
by peCople living in the country. If
they are large, they can indulge ini ar
tieles that conduce to comfort or minis..
ter to luxury. People in the country
adlapt themselvcs to theit' hflwomets bet-.
ter than peoplhe who live in cities. Thiey
are more secludled, and on that aceoJunt
can get along better with poor furniture
and articles of clothing.
The prosperity of all Ouir great trans
portation compjanies depends on our ag
ricultunral prosperity. T1hme largeist prS
portion of our freight cars are built for
carrying grain, live stock, andl daire
products. Many of our leading railroadfs
were consltructedl for the transportation
of far'm products. Several of them
could not pay the ordinary runninr
expenses if they reliedl on p~assengeu7
traflic andl the carrying of manufactured
goods for support. Whein crop)s are
good the trains run on, them are many
and long. When crops aro poor the
reverse in both particulars is true.
What is true of rail road transportation
is also true of steamboat and vessel
transp~ortation. The latter, no0 1ess
than the former, were built for the mos0t
part for carrying farm pro~ducts andI
farm supplies. As thme counmtry beohmles
older its prosperity dlepenids 'mlore and~
more on agriculture. At one time a
large portion of our people were en
gaged in marketing the natural produem
tions of the country. TVhey killed wild
animals and sent their skins to market.
T1hey cut down forests that were not
p~lanlted by the hand of man. They
washed surface goldl omit of gulches, an't
b~ecameo rich chiefly through thle opera
tions of nature. Many lived on the
product of the chase. They ate t hie flesh
of wild animals and birds, and sold the
skins of the former. Ini many parts of
the country civilized men produced the
articles thovy ate and wore in the same
way that, savages did. The natural
products of the country su)pliedl many
of the articles that in most parts oif
the world are obtained only by contimnu
Ouls anmd persistent toil. On this atceouint
manfy supported life by hunting and
fishing. At present it is niecessary to
plant in ordler to reap, to breed andl
10eed cattle in ordier to have meat, to till
the ground in order to have crops.
Times are urosperous or the reverse
according to the production of cultivat
ed crops.--Chicago 'lhmes.

the mnark of claws, yet I admit that
the for'e with which a tiger generally

The Glories of the Starlit IleaYens.
If the eye could gain gradually in
light-gathering power, until it attalned
something like the ran ge of the great
gauging telescopes of the lIersch els,
how utterly would what we see now seem
lost in the inconceivable glories thus
gradually unfolded. Even the revela
tions of the telescope, save as they ap
peal to the mind's eye, would be as
nothing to the splendId sc00 revealed,
when within the spaces which now show
black between the familiar stars of our
constellations, thousands of brilliant
orbs would be revealed. The milky
lnm!nosity of the Galaxy would be seen
aglow with millions of suns, its richer
portions blazing so resplendently that
no eye could bear to gaZe long upon the
wondrous display. But with every in
crease of power more and more myr
lads of stars would break Into view,
until at last the scone would be unboar
able in its splendor. The eye would seek
for darkness as for rest. The mind
would ask for a scene less oppressive in
the magnificence of its Inner meaning;
for even as seen, wonderful though the
display would be, the glorious scene
would scarce express the millionth part
of its real nature, as recognized by a
mind conscious that each point of light
was a sun like ours, each sun the cen
ter of a scheme of worlds such as that
g lobe on which we "live and move and
ave our being."
Who shall pretend to picture a scene
so glorious? If the electric light Could
be applied to illumine fifty million lamps
over the surface of a black domed vault,
and those lamps were here gathered in
ricb Clustering grons, there strewn
more sparsely, after the way in which
the stars are spread over the vault of
heaven, somethiinz like the grandour of
the scene which we have inagined would
be realized-but no human hands could
every produce such an exhibition of
I celestia1 imagrrv. As for inams, it is
obviottsly impossible by any maps which
could be drawn, no matter what their
scale or plan, to present anything even
approaching to a correct, pictuire of the
heavenly host. There ii no way even
of shoWing their numerical wealth in a
single pictitre.
It is not till we have learuwi to look
on all that the telescope reveals as in its
turn nothing, comparcdl wit-hi the real
universe, that we have rightly learned
the lessons which the heavcinn teach, so
far, at least, as it les within our feeble
powet' tii HI'My the awful teaching of
the stars. The rainge if the puny in

-A good adviser says: " Next to the
love of her husband, nothing so crowns
a woman's life with honor as the devo
tion of a son to her. We never knew a
boy to turn out badly who began by fall
imig in love with his mother. Any man
may fall in love with a fresh-faced girl,
and the man who is gallant to the girl
may cruelly neglect the poor and weary
wife in after years. But the big boy
who is a lover of his mother at middle
age is a true knight, who will love his
wife in the scre-leaf autumn as he did
in the daisied spring. There is nothing
so beautifully c iva rous as the love of a
big boy for his mother. Boys, think of
this."
IndJurious Insects.
There are few things more humiliat
ing to humanity than the sense of man's
hellessniess before very small insects.
T igers or wolves we can exterminate
easily enough, if we really set ourselves
to work at it; '.ats,~ mice and weasels
we can keep dlown somehow. lBut be
fore the Colora~do beetle or the seven
teen-year locust we are practically al
most resourceless. And before the
phiylloxera or the hop-fly we can hardly.
do more than look oni regretfully with
foled hands. Yet it is some consola
tioni to rellect that what seems at first
sighit a useless and purely ornamental
scienace can help us to some extent in
dea~lin~g with these infinitesimal pests.
Thec only3 way to conquter them, if way
there lbe at all, is to l earn their whole
life-history; to know them in the egg,
in the larva, in the pupa, in the full
Iledlgedl insect; to crush them in every
stage. withI whatever weapon the subtle
ties of chemistry or mere ingenious
bruzto force can suggest; and to donoth
ing whi can in any way give them a
single extra chance of life. Nothing, in
fact, could better show the intimate in
terationi and( reaction of knowledge and
practice than this interesting study. On
the one hand, no means can be devised.
for gett ing ridl of injurious insects ex
cept by a thorough scientific acquaint
uince with their origin and metamor
p~ha(ses; on the othier hand, no such care
fuil obser~Vatiions oni particular life-hisa
tories have ever been undertaken, prob
ably, exept with1 the stimulus of some
practical adlvanit-go to mankind in view.
I'hus science and agriculture both gain
by the conjunction Even butterfly
hunting hmas its spjec.ial commercial uses,
when the butterfly turns out to be the
p)arent of the gooscherry caterpillar, or.
to lay the eggs fronm which a warm sun
will hatch out tihe destructive cabbage
Many of these observations help to
briti1g out the minute interaction which
often obtains between different parts
of the organic baliancc; no that if we
want to extermiinatec a particular insect,
we must sornetimes begin by encourag
ing or' re pressinig some1 seemingly unt
connected bird or plant. For example,
but anists have long known that wet
se'asonsi are particularly favorable to
ebiarlock, anud that after two or three
such seasons the fields, unless dili rently
weeded, ar'c yellow all over with its
bright blossom. But chiarlock is ap
pairenitly the native food-plant of tur
nip thy, from which the insect spreads
easily to the cultivated turip~)-a close
ly all ied artiticial form; nmuch as the
Colorado beetle, origi'nully parasitic on a
solainumn in the Rocky Mountains, took
readily to thie richer food of the very
simiilar pIotto vines, as soon as extend
4'd tillage began to apiproach its natural
habuitat.
Jt is only by such careful observation,
wit h pra~ctical application of the results,
that we can hope) to outwit our insect
foes; for tihe more widely any particular
crop is grown, the more generally can
its nat uural eniemie~s spiread and survive.
Even in England. where hill andl dale,
copse and hedge break up the tilth, and
where small fields of various staples are
habitually nmuch intermnixedI. the insects
can easily migrate from patch to patch
of their special food- plant: while in
Amerien, where the same crop some
timies covers hundreds of square miles
toget lier on t he unfenced andI unbroken
plain, locusts and~ armiy wornms can
niarch straight across country, day
after dlay, ini regular battalions. -B
