Ha must go through the form of propasing the repeal to the Council of State, though it is, true that, should the measure reosive only, a minority of votes, the Cerulean car- ry it by vGtislig with the minority, Again, co long as a law is unrepeal- ed, it is as binding on the Czar as on hi4 subjects. Thus the sovereign cannot marry a lady who is his own subject without forfeiting his right to the throne, and he oannot reintro- duce serfdom, or abolish obligatory military service. Should he wish to do any of these things, he would have to propoee to the Council of State a repeal of existing law upon the sub- ject. Apparently, the . ground on ;which the Ministers refused to rat- ify the Czar's order for the punish- meat of students was the feet that this order violated the present mili- tary ilitary law, whish, so long as it remains =repealed, must be carried out by the sovereign. It is obvious, however, that the re- straint exercised by the Council of State is vary alight, seeing that, as we have said, the Czar, by voting with the minority, can cause any measure to be passed. From a Constitutional point of view the Council of State may be likened to the Parlement of Paris, under the French ancien regime which body, it will be remembered, when transformed into a "Bed of Jus- tioe" by the personal presence of the eovereign, waa obliged to register any law expressing the royal will, how- ever diatasteful it might be to a ma- jority of the Judges. The Council of State, being made up of appointees, is not, of course, a representative as- sembly. Nevertheless, representative institutions are hot entirely lacking in Russia, for a certain amount of self-government la exercised in those provinces which have Zemstvos, or lo- cal Legislatures. Moreover, as Prince Kropotk1n reminds ahs, twice during the Met forty years Russia has been on the eve of recognizing the repre- eentative principle even in national affairs. It waa expected in 1801 and for a few years afterward, that the abolition of serfdom and the other reforms introduced by Alexander II. would be browned with the c0nvooa- tion of a Parliament, The plan was brought to nought by the reaction which followed the Polish insurrection of 1863, coupled as this was with threats of intervention in favor of the Poles by Napoleon EL 1 It ie also a fact, Madepublic in Rus - Bio with the authorization of the cen- sorship, that an March 13, 1881, Al- exander II. signed an order enjoin- ing Gen.

As we improve, our stock and our farms we must improve our farm methods and providd machines, tools and fixtures to save. time and labor, and have a place for everything and keep things in their place. Repairs are easily made if toils, saw, hammer and nails are in place at the barn. A writer in The American Uultivn- tor says: There should be Ln every stable a closet large enough to allow the bang- ing up of all Harnesses, whether for carriage or work teams, and so snug- ly made that when the doors are shut the closet will be nearly air tight. The cast of such a closet will be mare than repaid by the saving of leather tram the fumes of ammonia, if there is a cellar for manure under the building, and foam the dampness paused by the breath of animals or In other ways. Another and sinal ler closet, or box with shelves, near the animals, ore two, ono for the horses and one for the cattle, in which to keepcurry-camas, brushes, cattle cards, sponges, hammer and nails, often needed, and little bottles or packages of simple remedies that may be needed for a sick animal, to save calling a veterinarian or to save the animal until he can be brought there. We usually have tincture of aconite, saltpetre, powd- ered aharecai and a bottle of same liniment on hand always. Than a rack in the stables to hold forks, shovels, hoes and brooms for cleaning them out, and another in some other place for forks, rakes and broom, as well as other things used in feeding. When there is but one place for eaoh article and that, is always in its place no time is lost in ou.nting for it, and there is less breakage from their be- ing thrown down, stepped on or run over. The field tools should have a room or place separate from those that are used at the barn nearly every day, DON'T BURN STUBBLE. Forty years ago my fattier quoted an old saying. "Fire is a good servant but a bard master," writes Geo, P. I.6amnn. ALtbough this must be re- garded as a truism it must bo admit- ted that fere !e aometimes a very un- profitable servant.

Mr. Elliott is still -1 in the receipt of frequent enquiries d about his oxperienoe with them. 1 To a r'eosnt questioner who asked h . him about Dodd's Kidney 'Pills Mr. ° I Elliott was quite outspoken.

The letter referred to in which Mr. Elliott endorses Dodd's Kidney Pills, was published in this paper some time ago. It reads as follows: "I fool it my duty to inform you of tbo great benefit I have derived from using Dodd's Kidney Pills. Last spring in particular when suffering from Lame Back, pain and weakness was so great I could Hardly turn or gat out of bed. Knowing it all came from disordered Kidneys, I began to use Dodd'a Kidney Pills and my pain and lameness soon disappeared. I con- sider Dodd's Kidney Pills a good re- liable medicine for the diseases for which they are recommended. " When I bear people complain of Lame Back or Rheumatism, I always say, " Why don't you take Dodd'a Kid - nay Pills.'
