DIDN'T WANT EDUCATION.
In the groat effort that the forces
of agricultural education are put-
ting forth in many ways to got
farmers to see how and why they
should become better farmers the
principal reason advanced for the
change is larger' revenue. But the
Man who resists this teaching or
will have none of it so blind that
he cannot oven see the increased
profit. One of the mon who, took a
cow census gave the following in-
cident which illustrates how stupid-
ly blind some men are:—
He found a farmer with a herd of
sixteen sows, the milk of which he
was taking to a creamery. Actually
Ire did notget money enough from
his cows to pay for their keeping,
and he lost shout $8 a head. With-
in a quarter of a mile of this man
was another farmer, a patron of the
same creamery, whose herd of nine-
teen -cows paid'a profit above the
cost of keeping of $17 each The
difference: between those two men
was one man's loss added to. the
other's profit, or a difference of 05
a cow for the poor herd. 1 did all
I could to arouse the dull manto a
sense of the situation he was in and
showed hire the figures relating to
tho more succesful farmer. This
seemed to anger him and he said it
was "all false," and he knew it.
So slow and sunken was this man's
mind that he had never had a dairy
or agricultural paper in his house.
That showed clearly the amount of
brains he was bringing to bear on
his work. He boasted to the census-
taker that he bad got all he had
without any of this "bloomed fool
education," _

The following story connected with
this nickname, which was bestowed
upon the Kaiser, is told. Some
years ago the German Emperor was
in the habit of steaming up and
down the River Spree on board a
torpedo-boat. About this period
His Majesty dined with the Life
Guards at Berlin, and after dinner
the offioers began to call each other
by their nicknames. The Emperor,
who was sitting among the older
officers, suddenly asked, -"And pray
whatis my nickname among rho"
corps?" There wad a moment's con-
sternation; then a colonel got up
and, with a polite bow, replied, "I
can answer for the fact that among
the older officers your Majesty has
no nickname." . This diplomatic
reply did not satisfy the Emperor,
who forthwith sent for a sprightly
young lieutenant, and said, "I com-
mand you to tell me what nickname
has been given to mo by you and
your bi•other officers." "Is it a
command, your Majesty? asked
the 'officer, with twinkling eye.
"Very well, thou; your nickname

HIGH SIiAS TRAGEDY,
Sailors Fight With Knives on
ii'recked Vessel.
The history of the voyage of the
barque • Eaton Hall, from New-
castle, England, to Valparaiso,
reads like a chapter in a sensation -
el boolc of adventure.
The vesset experienced a suoees-
Sion of violent storms, which en-
tirely disabled her, and then, to
add- to the troubles of the captain
and the officers, a serious disturb-
ance took place among the sailors.
At the time the slap had been
drifting for seven weeks a helpless
wreck on the ocean, and while pre-
parations were being made to
abandon her, some of the crew
stole liquor from the cabin and
quarreled. It was not long before
a fight was in progress. Knives
were freely used, with the result
that one man 'was killed and two
others wounded.
A small steamer came to the vee -
se's aid eighty-two miles from Ta-
hiti, and agreed to tow her to Ta-
hiti for £000. These services wore
accepted, and the Eaton Hall was
towed to' Tahiti, where the seaman,
who is alleged -to have killed his
mate,was handed over to the au-
thorities.

LOSS IN GE11.LiiN Sfl11'P NG.
North German Lloyd's Shrinkage
Unparalleled in its History.
German business men are stag-
gered by the annual report of the
North German Lloyd, which shows
that 'the great steamship tine's
business in 1908 was conducted with
the enormous loss of £892,600, neces-
sitating the wiping out of the entire
reserve and "renewal" funis.
• Of the total undivided profits of
£1,689,907 with'tvhich the Lloyd be-
gan the year 1908, it is left with
only £807,307 in the shape of its
"insurance fund." The company's
earnings in 1908 wore only £460,900
as against £1,634,800 in 1907, and
£1,985,900 in 1906. The shrinkage is.
without parallel in the history of
Gorman shipping.
Notwithstanding the nature of
Lloyd's, report, its shares closed a
few points higher than a week pre-
