One and all toiling on this particular plain toil on tilt death, and that has been longed for so long that it seems so far off as to be hopeless, Death comes to inen free and happy, but them it seems to avoid; it leave but them it seems. to avoid; it leaves them to their most awful punishment of life.

I3ut it there any neceeeity for talking as if It were desirable to etuff the young - eters 'with a sort of peptonlzed psychol- ogY and pathology? What is neee,etiary for a child to know is not very coin- Prieated; and If Imparted in the proper way by a. person Whose cha.recter the child respects, there should be no neces- sity, for the elaborate methods of instruc- tion pow advocated. *wow Millard's Liniment Cm, Limited.

However, there eeenis to las a fair opinion that If some other method ean be employed to prevent these bruises that they would be agreeable to poetpone this regulation. One idea suggested. and it seems good to us, is that the farm. or or drover proeure a rine tooth saw, a 8131011 meat or mitre saw is good and costs very little, and cut off the eharp tips on the horns be- fore they leave the farm, and at least before they are mixed with etranga cattle.
