British Farming Affairs.
An agricultural correspondent in Eng

those of the merkets were equally promis-
ing, farmers would. pluck up their spirit.

marlmble well, having hem sown la good

The average price of wheat list week Was
only 30a lid per quarter of eight bushel;
while theaverage tor barley and oats were
30a fed and les Id. For the corresponding
week of i887 the prices were as follows :—
Wheat, 36s 4d; barley, 27a Id; oats, les 2d.
But the rise in the price of wheat at the
beginning of 1887 did not last long, and the
average for the whole year was only32s
the lowest for a century, except that of 1886,
which was only 31s. Wily wheat should be
aslow as it is just now, none can tell, as
the statistical situation would warrant a
much higher price. There have been times
when the prospective supply was a great
deal larger than it is to -day, and yet the
• price has been 10a a quarter higher. We
appear to have got inte a rut of low prices
which nothing short of a catastrophe will
get us out of. The lambing Beeson is going
on very well in England, lambs being un-
usually numerous and healthy. In the
southwest of Scotland, however, an alarming
fatality among ewe; not due to lamb for am
few weeks, is taking place, as 'ay as
eleven to the score having died in some
flocks. Principal Walley attributes this to
diabetes and the degeneration of the kidney;
caused by too great consumption of very
watery turnips. When will farmers learn
that the free use of roots for breeding ewes
is extremely dangerous? In this case it is
supposed the turnips were unusnallywatery,
e on account of a rapid. growth in the late
autumn after a standstill caused by drought.-

To stand within fifteen yards of electri-
city so potent that steel is melted like but-
ter, to feel no heat and yet to experience all
the effects of sunstroke, must be a very
curious sensation, and yet it is not an un-
common one, it is said, among both work-
men and visitors at the famous French foun-
dry at Creuzot. Electricity is employed
there for smelting and soldering certain me-
tals, and this electric sunstroke, as it is call-
ed, is of quite frequent oceurrenoe. Such
effects are described as temporary blindness,
headache, sleeplessness, etc., and yet with-
• out any sense whatever of heat. The most
probable explanatiot of such symptoms is
that they are caused by the intense bril-
liancy.

Aral) Children and Their Games.
If the Hide Arabs are heathen, they are
at least picturesque heathen. In their col-
ored clothing, with their dusky skins, their
black eyes, and their lithe'active bodies,
they are very picturesque. But, it must be
confessed, they appear best at a distance;
for soap is not so fashionable among them as
might justly be expected from the people of
a country which manutactures the most
cleansing soap in the world. In watching
the children at play, one soon notices that
the girls do not always have a good time.
Arab boys are not trained to be gentlemanly
and courteous to their sisters, although they
treat their elders with a delightful defer-
ence and respect. Little girls in the East
are never welcome. When a baby is born
if it be a girl "the threshold mourns forty
days."
days." So in taking a glimpse at the
amusements of the Arab children, we must
be prepared to find that they are chiefly
boys' games, in which the girls seldom par-
ticipate.

1. never find fault with her before others.
2. Per contra remember the counsel of the
Good Book: Her husbeafd shall praise her
in the gates ; that is, before folks.
3. Bear all her 'burdens for her; even then
she'll bear more than you do, in spite of you.
4. If you want her to,submit to your judg-
ment, never ask her to submit to your sel-
fishness.
• 5. A woman's life is made up of little
things. Make her life happy by little cow-
