Caver- ly, of Aylmer, had a dangerous exper ience with a can of sardines the other day which he will not soon forget.

The Forum says that the answer to this question is self evident—perpetual toil in good weather all through the busy season, and perpetual loneliness in bad weather and most of the winter season. The time when the farmers have Leasure is, in half the country, the very time when they can not get away from home by reason of their iso- lation and had roads; yet such is the hunger of the heart that the boys re- volt against the unendurable loneli ness, and even now often walk miles through the rain or the snow to spend half a day sitting around the stove in the country store, Already in many sections, the young people of both sexes have broken through the barriers and established farmers' clubs and little societies of one sort and another, and improved roads have done much to aid this relief. But why should not this natural tendency be reasonably direc- ted, and all ages and both sexes enjoy their long winte• evenings together?

We may tell you straight and just here that we have no cobwebs. If we wanted to lie, we would tell you that we were selling goods at half price, fifty per cent off for cash. Occassionally this is done with a special article,—as a job lot of sam ples, or remnants; but, generally when you see such-' statements, you can set it down as a strain- ing of the conscienceorjuggling with thetruth. We don't wonder at the Patrons of Industry boycotting the storekeepers, after reading such trash. You may depend when a merchant sells an article at or below cost, he is bound to make it up on. another. They are not there to do 'business for nothing.

CARL NC Enos. owl lak History Should Begin at home. Every city and town should have its history written with sone details for use in the schools of that town, and with this should be included a proper treatment of the geography of the reg ion writes Winfield S. Nevin in the March England Magazine, in an article on the importance of the study of lo- cal history. Such work has bean done for Dover, Massachusetts, and the book is in use in that town to -day very suc- cessfully. This local textbook may be put in the form of a catechism, with questions and answers, or in a narra- tive form. It should begin with a clear statement of the location of the place, to be followed withesomething on the topography; theegeology•and the bot- any; then the history of the settlement of the town; the establishment of the first church; the growth of municipal history; notice of important public buildings; military history; to be fol- lowed by accounts of the industries; railroads, principal highways, com• merce; a brief sketch of the schools and other educational institutions; some thing about the noted men and women who were born or have lived in the town, or had visited it. These topics need not be arranged in the order here given, but according to the plan best adapted to the locality. This study. I belieye will be found very helpful. It is one to ewaketa instant interest in pupil and teaches, The child loves to read and talk about places and things 'with which he is familiar, as we older people are more interested in anything about countries we have visited than those we have never seen.The local his- tory and geography ara;the easiest for a child to grasp, and he will learn other' history afterward, more readily.
