He brought a fresh mind to the consideration of the problems of the India Ofliee and of the Treasury. He delighted the officials by his respectivity and his industry. He annexed Upper Iiurmah when he was Indian Secretary, and when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer he prepared a heroic democratic budget, which fate, in the person of his own willful caprice, never allowed him to introduce. In the Cabinet he was im perious. Outside he believed he was supreme. He vetoed Lord Salisbury's Hattenburg- policy, although it was the special business of the Premier's own office.

Decorative Art In liostou. The new public library building ot Boston, upon which a very generous outlay has been made, illustrates the possibility of a general revival in these matters of American civic art and ar chitecture. Not only in the building itself most worthily and intelligently designed to meet the objects in view, but its architecture wins approval from art critics, while it is also setting a good example for our civic adminis trators by employing the best Ameri can talent to decorate its interior with artistic mural designs. The city of Paris has lent great encouragement to a noble form of art by engaging great French artists to paint decorative de signs for the interior walls and ceilings of a number of public buildings, even including the public schools Iloston has now entered upon a policy in this regard which it may well continue to pursue.

The musical tree is a native of the West Indies, growing abundantly on all the islands of that group except Jamaica.

Some Up to Date HIata About Cultiva tion of the Boll aad Yields Thereof Hortlcaltare, VlUcaltare aad Florl cmltaie. Beed Canary Grmas. The scientific name of this grass is Phalaris Arundmacea, Stems stout, erect, two to five feet high, smooth, from strong, creeping root stalks, leafy; leaves large (six to ten inches long by about half an inch wide) fiat, roughish or smooth, sheaths smooth; panicle narrow, its branches short and appressed or somewhat spreading at flowering time, three to five inches long; spikelets numerous, crowded, about one-sixth of an inch long, more or less tinged with purple; empty glumes equal, spreading at flowering, much longer than the flowering glume, rough on the back, but not wing keeled; flowering glum smooth and shining, with two minute fairy scales at the base, in fruit closely enclosing the smooth grain. The South Dakota bulletin says of it that it is widely dis tributed over that state, growing na turally on wet ground. It is one of the most important of our native species, as it promises to do well under culti vation. In low meadows it often con stitutes a large part of the hay. Stock 2at it readily. On the station ground it has done well for three years, with standing severe drouth, even on hiKh ground. It produces a coarse quality of hay and seeds plentifully. The leaves remain preen until after the THE ABOVE ILLUSTRATION SHOWS THE CLEVELAND BAY STALLION MASTER FREDERICK ('.92). OWNED BY 31 K. JAMES V.

It is found in other states beside the Dakotas. One variety is known to nearly all our readers under the name of ribbon or striped grass, and is cul tivated for ornament in our gardens. It will bear cutting two or three times during the season, but if not cut early the foliage is coarse. Cattle are not fond of it at any time of its growth. but will eat it when they can get noth- ing better. The grass is common on low, rich soils where the water is either standing or sluggish, and is sometimes propagated by transplant- t ing the roots of the striped grass into j suitable soils. j Another writer on this grass says: "The panicles of this grass, if allowed t to stand after the time of flowering, , come filled with ergot, or long black spurs, issuing irom between me glumes, and occupying the place of grain. This, if there were no other reason, would be sufficient to deter mine that it should be cut at or be fore the time of flowering. I have never seen rye worse affected than my specimens of this grass are. The effects of this mysterious disease are well known. The noxious power that it exerts on the system of animals that receive even a small portion of it, is ofttimes dreadful, producing most 1 horrible gangrenes, rotting off the ex- 1 tremities, producing internal tortures , and agonizing death; it has been 1 known to slough and kill not a few j in the Geflucgel Zuchter, a German human beings who have accidentally poultry paper published at Warsaw, or inadvertently eaten grain or Hour ' Wis., and translated for Poultry Keep infected by it," . er: .

P for a bad job. To test the correct areas. They seem, therefore, to think 1 ',.,,,, ,oc, ,,,, t that it would pay the owners of large ! "l5.30?!?"1!- estates to dispose of portions of their land. My experience has taught me that large farms can be cultivated just as profitably as small farms and that, as a rule, the large farms were better tilled and in .proportion yielded equal if not better returns than the small 1 farms. The value of a farm depends upon the quality of the soil, the climatic conditions.the help that can be secured . and the situation in regard to the i market facilities of its products, the , profit upon the management its orig- , mat cost ana me means 01 uie o u .

In reply to the question. Has a country to have a great many mid- j wheat during January suffered injury ji 1 .1 ..I ,..ii fomc nr- n Vioi-o from anv cause?" 192 corresnondents die-sized and small farms, or to have fewer and larger farms in the hands of comparatively few and wealthy men, have often been" discussed. There is no doubt that wealthy men who pos sess well managed, large farms, will do more toward the development I and prosperity of a country than farm ers posseslng a small capital and small farms, ranging in size from 30 to 80 acres, which they work with the assistance of their families or a few hired hands, because the former are able to buy and breed the best live stock, and buy the latest and moct im- proved farm implements and large quantities of industrial Joy-products and fertilizers and are willing to ex periment on a large scale with varie ties of useful native and foreign plants. They also build large barns and in dustrial establishments, thus not only employing many farm hands but also giving work to all classes of mechan ics, etc. From a political point of view and for the people at large, it may not be advisable to have many large farms in the hands of comparatively few wealthy men, who naturaly will be come influential and who may use their influence to shape legislation for selfish purposes, but from an agricul tural point of view the benefits derived indirectly from large farms can not be successfully denied. A fair proportion of large to small farms would probably offer the best re sults in the solution of the above ques tion. To show the difference in the cir culation of money between a large farm in a settled country and a num ber of small farms which, combined have the same area, the following ex ample will be of general interest: In Germany, near Berlin, are two es tates of 300 acres each. One estate is in the possession of one man, a good farmer with sufficient capital, the other estate is divided betwen ten farmers, good farmers and not with out means. Both estates pay annu ally on an average $750 community and state taxes, the large farm pays ad ditional taxes amounting to ?759 for a license to run a potato distillery and starch factory. According to the last census, 120 cows and 50 horses are kept on the large farm against 14 u cows and 51 horses on the ten farms. The ten farmers send vegeta bles to Berlin and ship a daily aver age of 400 quarts of milk at ten cents per gallon; from the large farm are shipped 1,200 quarts of milk daily at thirteen cents per gallon. The ten far mers employ annually twenty hands, who leceive their board and $850, and pay for extra help during the har vest season from $200 to $300, making a total of from $1,050 to $1,150. The owner of the large farm pays to over seers, feed-masters, etc., to the hands who take care of the live stock and to men who work in the distillery and starch factory, besides their board. $2,323; and to twenty-eight 1 families who live in houses on his es tate and board themselves (the men being obliged to work six days and the women four days in the week), $7,100 annually. Besides the grain and potatoes raised on the farm and used in the distillery and starch factory, he pur- chases additional quantities of these products, which outlay, together with that for coal, amounts to $7,500, making a total of $16,925, as against $1,150 put in circulation by the ten farmers. The amount expended an nually in the factories for oil, belts, packing, repair of machinery, etc., and thousands of dollars paid now and then for new and improved machin ery, thereby giving employment to a number of mechanics, .to plumbers, boiler-makers, coppersmiths, ma chinists and other artisans employed in factories, mines, etc., is not in- eluded in the S.16.925, To rrownt Flying ner Fencm. 1 The following article was published I when chickens fly over into the neigh bor's gardens, and even in your own, and destroy things by their scratching. Poultry netting was put up ever so high, only to last a short time before the hens would fly over again. Lately a merchant "H. W.," struck on to an idea which, on account of its simpli city, can be carried out by most any body. Place three-fourth inch wire nails, six inches apart, along the fence, and you will discover that your hens will not fly over, even if there were accommodation made for them to do so. They will "size up" the situation for hours and then turn back and give it leaving a space of about ten inches No sooner was this done than a hen made use of the opportunity and flew over again. This plan is very simple, is cheap and will prevent much trouble if given a trial. This sounds easy, but we know for a fact that it will not work. We know of a man that has a flock of Plymouth Rocks. The yard is of three-foot wire, surmounted by a six-inch board, edge up. The owner drove in nalis six inch es apart, good-sized nails, too, and in addition strung wire across the top of the yard, wires running parallel. The two or three hens that had made the I w b f 0(m tpicd t n and , succeeded though tney had to force themselves between the top wires. So , m , work It does . not "seem a sensible plan, anyway. i The Michigan crop report for Jan- , uary is just received. It says: Cold weather prevailed during tne month of January. Snow fell in the early part of the month in sufficient amount jSnJii in the southern counties answer "yes" and 295 "no;" in the central counties, C4 answer "yes," and 142 "no," and in the northern counties, 8 answer "yes," and 90 "no." The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed Dy iarmers iu jmiuajj ia i,udi,oo9, una in the six months, August-January, 7,296,941, which is 1.952,971 bushels less than reported marketed in the lame months last year. At twenty elevators and mills from which re ports have been received, there was no wheat marketed during the month. Tho Caasplae FowL The Campine fowl is universally known for its fecundity, and perhaps is rightfully considered the best layer in the world, says Midland Poultry Jour nal. It is the prevailing fowl iu the Campine of Belguim, to the border ot Turnhout, in Brabaut and in the south' of Holland. It is early, tame, and its flesh is exquisite, and the capons of this fowl are most delicious. The hens, when not confined, lay when four or five months old. The Campine is said to be first cousin, but is more likely the grandmother of the black and gray Bresse fowl so much esteemed in France for the delicacy of its flesh. It is also said to be the parent of the Friesland fowl. Its plumage is pleas ing to the eye and makes a very hat'd some appearance when in great num bers in the poultry yard. It is the breed to recommend for the farm, be cause it is the best layer and its chick ens are early and delicious as food. It stands confinement well, provided it Is not too closely confined, but it always prefers to enjoy its liberty. The hens attain their full size at the age of five or six months; the cockerels are so pre cocious that they sometimes crow at the age of three weeks. It is easily recognized by its pen cilled gray feathering of black and white, with a full white hackle like a cape. The comb, tall and plain in the cocks, and falling over in the hens, whitish ear lobs and blue legs. It is of ordinary farm fowl size. The golden Campine present the same appearance, except that it is golden or yellow in place of white. Summer Eggs Cheap. There is one point in favor of the hen that does not lay in winter, and that is, she will begin early in spring, and then lay regularly until well into the summer. It will be her work when the others have ceased, and although prices may not be. as high for eggs, yet they will cost less, and hens will lay more of them, proportionately, than in winter. What the poultryinan should do is to put the laying hens together, and have the non-layers in one flock. By so doing he can reduce the food of the non-layers if they are fat, or allow them food which consists of but a small proportion of grain. It is more economical to feed them when separ ated, as the hens will receive food best adapted for their purposes. If hens are to be sold, it will pay to pick out the fattest in the flock, and they should be sold during January, so as not to carry them over to April, and because prices will rise after the holiday season has passed. Ex. It is a matter for wonder that with our unlimited fields and variable cli mate the United Staets should import any agricultural products. And yet we send away annually money enough to make all our farmers comfortable if kept at home. Meantime we con tinue to grow wheat at 40 cents, and out of the proceeds, pay interest on a mortgage. Is there no room here for the exercise of a little common sense? A Frnit Harrow. The following is from "American Gardening": The ordinary wheel-barrow is tin suited for wheeling baskets and boxes of fruit, such as plums, grapes, straw berries, etc., because of the shape of the bed. The accompanying illustra tion shows a fruit harrow that is free from this objection, and one that will be found equally conven ient in wheeling other articles that must be kept quite horizontal to avoid spilling. It can easily be made, if one buys one of the light iron wheels that are now sold at hardware stores for just such uses as this. A report summarizing the results of its investigation into the trolley strike in Brooklyn has just been submitted to the legislature of New York by the state board of mediation and arbitra tion. The investigation fails to throw any new light upon the cause of the strike, but it makes certain sugges tions looking to the prevention of strikes in the near future. It is sug gested that the service of railroad cor porations created by the state be de clared a public service; that entrance into such service be upon agreement for a definite period, upon satisfactory examination as to mental and physical qualifications; that resignation or dis missal from such service for ordinary cause be permitted, the cause to be stated in writing, filed with some de signated authority, and the resignation or dismissal to take effect after the lapse of a reasonable or fixed period, with provision for summary resigna tion or dismissal for extraordinary cause to be stated and filed in like manner; that wages be established at the time of entry, and be changed only by mutual agreement or decision of a board chosen by the company and em ployees of by a state board, or through the action of both. It is further recom mended that combinations to embar rass or prevent the operation of rail roads be made misdemeanors, and that obstructions of cr violence toward rail roads endangering the safety of life and property be made felonies; that a beneficial fund for the relief of em ployes disabled by sickness or accident be established, and that membership in a labor union shall not be used as a bar against the employment of com petent workmen by a railroad corpora tion created by the state. Some of the suggestions made by the board seem wise and nceessary, but, taken as a whole, they constitute a departure from the existing order of things such as seems unlikely to be made under present conditions. The rich farmer should be happier than the rich merchant, because he has more of nature's bounties and less care. 1 Retaralaff Thaaka. Here is a story of a colonel who was much addicted to traveling1 and who once reached home when the house was full of his son's guests and stayed to dinner. One of the company, a notori ous drawer of the long bow, told a story of his being off the Cape of Good Hope in an Indiaman, when a floating object was discovered which proved to be a cask, whereon a mau was seated clinging to a small staff in the bung hole. ''Come on board," retorted the ocean waif when hailed. "No, thank you. I'm very comfortable here. I am bound for the cape. Can I take letters there for vou? Don't bother about me. I'm all right." Then, amid the silence which fol lowed this incredible yarn, Colonel G. arose and gravely addressed the nar rator. "Sir." he said, "for years I have been trying to find any one belonging to that skip to return thanks for the great courtesy shown trie on that occasion. At last I am enabled to do so, sir. I was the man on the cask." Tid-Bits. SERVED IN TWO WARS. THE CRIP THE ALMOST WON WHERE BULLET FAILED. Oar Sympathies Always Enlisted In the Infirmities of the Veteran. From Woodstock, Va., Herald. There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va., who served in the war with Mex ico and In the war of the rebellion, Mr. Levi Mclnturff. He passed through both these wars without a serious wound. The hardships, however, told seriously on him, for when the grip attacked him four years ago It nearly killed him. Who can look on the In firmities of a veteran without a feeling of the deepest sympathy? His towns people saw him confined to his house so prostrated with great nervousness that he could not hold a knife and fork at the table, scarcely able to walk too, and as he attempted it, he often stumbled and fell. They saw him treated by the best talent to be had but still he suffered on for four years, and gave up finally in despair. One day, however, he was struck by the account of a cure which had been ef fected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a box and commenced taking them. He says he was greatly relieved within three days time. The blood found its way to his fingers and his hands which had been palsied assumed a natural color, and he was soon enabled to use his knife and fork at the table. He has recovered his strength to such an ex tent that he is able to chop wood, shock corn and do his regular work about his home. He now says he can not only walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the mountains. He is able to lift a fifty-two pound weight with one hand and says he does not know what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for others, but knows that they have done a great work for him. He was in town last Monday, court day, and was loud In his praises of the medicine that had given him so great relief. Mr. Mclnturf is willing to make affidavit to these facts. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were used for many years by an eminent practitioner who produced the most wonderful re sults with them, curing all forms of weakness arising from watery blood or shattered nerves, two causes of al most every 111 to which flesh Is heir. The pills are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, all forms of weakness, chronic constipation, bearing down pains, etc.. and In the case otmen will gi-'c speedy relief and effect a perma nent cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. They are entirely harmlcss and can be given to weak and nlckly children with the greatest good. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, (o0 cents a box, or six boxes for J2.50 by addressing Dr. Williams" Medicine Company, Schenectady. X. Y.

"Starboard" and "t arlioarcl." A few years ago, when the editor 01 "Notes for the Curious" conducted the "Notes and Queries" department of a big New York weekly, no question that was sent in caused more work in seek ing an answer than this: 'Give origin of the terms 'starboard' and 'lar board.' " The answer was finally found in Smyth's Sailors' Word Hook: 'The Italians derive 'starboard' from 'questa borda,' meaning 'this side,' and 'lar board' from 'quella borda,' meaning 'that side.'
