Your nose 18 pug, Serapbina ; I''m sorry, but it's so. I can'pxeoiate your feelin'e, 'Cause so is mine, you know. Ile the drefde-est a-fiiotion 1 You never can care it bit. I put a clothespin on mine once, Same's uncle Jack said to do it. • It hart, but I didn't mind that, dear, But it's nagger than ever now I Papa said to hang a weight on, An' I would, but T didn't know bow. An' grandpa said to be patient, (An' I kuow I saw him smile), An' p'raps when I grew up bigger, Pug noses -would be in style 1 • An' my brother said 6o me, dollie, 'I'lietions might be woreer still, For s'posin' my eyes toed in, dear, Or my ohin ran right down hill. But mamma said, Seraphim, (An' mammas always gay best), "Never you mind, my sweetheart, Your nose is as good as the rest." WHY OUR YOUNG AUEN GO TO THE CITIES. Farm life at its beet is quiet, unevent- ful, elementary. It gives broad play to the simple energies, but palls for no buret of supreme power, offers no field for the display of imagination, learning, artistry, oreativd genius. The farmer may be a student, a thinker, even a profound eoholar ; but be never feels the fine stimulation caught from congenial or op- posing intellectual forces. Be reads and thinks and is philistine. He feels his condition and meets it with bourgeois calmness. He eende bis sons, to college and makes lawyers, professors, ministers or brokers out of them. He rarely thinks of the other aide of the medal, or 000- eidere the vast freedom, the broad im. ruanity of hie rural life, what Dares he is escaping, what strains, what rendinge, what catnolysms. He would be sur. prised, if not indignant, were he told that his life is really the dream of the poet. But 11 is neoeseary to check this tide of rural life on its way to the already over congested urban ()entree, How eball it he done? It would seem that here ie a task for our educational engines, our ohurobee, schools, eollegee, nerve. papers and magazines. Life in this world it absolutely dependent upon agri. culture. Every day brings us closer to a condition wbioh mesh enforce a far more intelligent agridrilture, and oonse- quently a far more intelligent rural life Myth now exists. The equilibrium be- tween oity and country roust adjust itself in a right or a wrong way. The right way is through eduoatfon which will give au enlightened view of life's obligation to mother earth. Oer. tainly the workers who make the staples, who furnitb the food and clothing, who give the fuel to the myriad engines of human life are the most important fact, ors of both pi+ogrese and stability. Edo. t catkin which urges the imagination of 1 young people away from duty rather than toward it hi evil 084041100, The farmer lad and itis oieppr 3henid be taught to love the farm life and to make it brighter, sweeter, better, lllduoatiorl rightly directed will .reverse tendencies and rptl8Rt ahs rays of ambition, ep that the safe equilibrium between city and country will be easily maintained, Why Some %eacllers Fail. They are lazy, They neglect details, They use poor judgment. They complain too muoh. They have no eye to order, They are not polite enough, They do pot try to improve. They fail to have new ideas, They are easily dieoouraged, They underrate the business. They fail to manage with tact. They overestimate themselves. They do not study the children. They keep away from the pnpils. They attend no teachers' meetings. They are stingy toward themselves. They are rusty and without ambition. They have too muoh outside bueiness, Theyhope to get along without out eff rt Theypenny arewise p n y w a and proud foolish. Tbey rre trying to go into eomething Oise. Whey fail to use euoh ideas as they have, They fail to khow what the world iS doing. They think the eohool was made for them. They read no educational papers or books, They know so muoh that they learn no more. They think most things take too muoh trouble. They do not study the great masters of the art. They follow the same methods with eaoh class. They philosophize on everything but. their business. They do not find out what other teachers ere are doing. Tbey think they outlet learn anything more about the art. They neglect to think of the pupil's good at every point. They think inferior work does just as well as gaod worts. They rely ou the little stook of goods they began business with. ' They do not determine to be the beet teacher in the place. They forget that the art of teaching is an art that requires study. They have become dry, stale and re. pulsive to live children. They began with a small stook of ideas and have not increased them. • They think any one can teaoh who knows a little about the studies. Do not seek for inspiration by study- ing the methods of the best teachers. Do not gee that the profession is as high as the teachers themselves raise it. Are not in real earnest to teaoh, so that "to -morrow find them farther than to.day." Do not take common sense as a guide,. but hug a formalism handed down from the dark ages.. Drop the 5015001 when it is out and never think of it again until they come before their pupils the next morning. POLITICAL. N. W. White, 8f. P. for Shelburne, N. S., hae been made a Senator. The Ontario Legislature will meet about the second week in February. Senator Kaulbaoh, of Denenberg,' N. S., dropped dead on the floor of the Sen- ate Chamber at Ottawa. Provincial Treas. McMillan and Pro- vieoial Secretaryameron e m on were elected by acolamabion in OWinnipeg. Lieut. -Governor Chapleau says he has no intention of returning to political life, and would never join the resigned Minis- ters' faction if he did return. The writ for the South Wentworth election for the Legislative Assembly has been issued. Nomination will take place on Jan. 17th, and )lolling a week later, the same dates as to West Wellington. Sir Adolphe Caron bas accused Dr. Montague of writing anonymous letters to the Governor.General charging him with corruptacoeptanoe of, money. Itis admitted the lettere were written, but Dr. Montague denies that he ie the author. The natural inurease of Canada's pop• ulation during the laet census decade was 000,000. Daring the same decade 886,000 immigrants arrived in the Do- minion, making a total increase of 1,786,• 000. Of these 500.000 remained in the Dominion and 1,286,000 joined the exod- us. 'It is time the policy which caused euoh results was reversed. Alexander McKay, M. P., of Hamilton, has been made Collector. of Customs at Hamilton, in plane of Mr. Kilvert, who beaomes Commissioner of Customs. Arthur Boyle, M. P., of Mouck, becomes Colleotor of Ouetoms at Niagara Falls, and Mr. Bain, M. P., for Soulanges, has been appointed post office inspector for Montreal district. Tbey are all getting in out of the wet. The election in Viotorin, B. C., con- sequent upon the appointment of Ooi. Prior at Controller of Inland Revenue, with a that in the Cabinet, resulted in the return of that gentleman by a small majority. The city proper gives Col. Prior 1,544; Mr. Templeman, 1,486. Col. Prior's majority will be augmented by the country vote. There is surprise in the Tory damy there, where the ma- jority of over 600 for the Conservative at the last general election has been reduced to 86. Mr. Templeman, the Liberal can- didate, has been beaten, but the fight has been more of a victory for the Liberals than a defeat in this nearly twenty yearn' old Tory stronghold, It means a Liberal victory in the general elections, The Dominion trade and navigation returns for the fiscal year analog June 80th, 1805, have been printed by order of Parliament. The aggregate trade for the year, on the basis of goods for coneump. Won amounted to $218,801,000, as Dom., pared with 8280,618,000 in 1894, a de- erease of nearly $12,000,000, Total trade of all kinde amounted to $224,420,000, against 8241,000,000 in 1804, a dooreaes of over $16,000,000, Compared with 1893 the decrease was $20,000,000. Our ag. gregate trade with Great Britain was less in 1896 than in 1804 by $16,000,000, and with the United States more by over $6,000,000. Our purchases from Great Britain were lees than one-half what they were in 1804, and from the United States hey were just the same figures as in 874. Our purchases from Great Britain were lees, and from the United Stator more, in 1898, than when the N, P. war vietorione in 1878, 30 other words our high tarifa hurt England and not the United States, The feet that ear .ag- gregate trade with the United States in• messed by $7,000,010 in the fade of a dg• ollpe with nearly ail other oounirioe, Dan only be attrihnted to the operation or the reduced tariff under the Wilson bill. While we bought a million and a half more from thecal than in 1894, they bought from us five and a hall millions more. The average duty oolleeted on liritieb geode imported amounted to over 22 per gent„ while the average ditty eel. leoted on American goods wap only 12g per gent. Reform 131 Taxation, A petition ie now being widely oircu. luted throughout the Province asking the Legielative Amenably to reduce the tax. ation on buildings and other improve. meats, or else to allow the Municipali. ties Theso reatodo,son the advocates of this .re. form urge for euoh a change, ie the man- ner in whish the present law disorimin. at es es agfkfnet those who employ labor in improving their property, or in the manufacture of good. It ie pointed out that there are two methods of securing wealth from the land. One method clears, fences, ereote buildings, raises grope or manufaoturee goods. The man who thus uses the land 18 by every pro. ductive aot industriously, honestly and beue6cently adding to the prosperity of the nation, and if a man thug acquiree wealth, he does it in a way that injures no one. On the other hand a man may keep land in idlenree, employ no labor, and nothing whatever to prosperity ; but be may actually injure the country, by re- tarding and nattering settlement, and by keeping labor in enforoed idleness. He may simply wait till inoreaeed settle• went and the industry and enterprise of his neighbors have made that land vale able, as is always the Daae in growing cities. Now, here are two uses, or rather a use of land and an abuse of land. One man uses land to beget wealth by his industry, the other uses it to eecnre wealth at the expense of others. The one use is bene• Scent and should be encouraged, the other is injurious and should be dis- couraged. It is claimed that oar present Iawe encourage this misuse of the land, for, if a man improves/ his land in any way, the law insists that his taxes must be increased, so that the better a man doee for his country, the worse the coun- try does for him. The speculator on the other hand by avoiding improvement, keeps down his taxes. It ie further claimed that in'our •large cities the land value rises to euoh enor- mous figures, that, the land owner may collect from $10,000 to 860,000 per acre per annum, end euoh is the relation that this begets in eooiety that while the farmer moat toil industriously to raise a crop every year or humauity would starve, the collectors of these land values need provide nothing for humanity, and yet reap the profit of many farms. Thus while one part of the community must toil liner ebioall to maintain q the' burden of eooiety, including the taxation for Government, and yet enjoy but little of its benefits, another olaee may enjoy the bleeensge of eivilization to overflow- ing, and yet be relieved in perpetuity from any of its burdens. And it is further pointedout that the making of public improvements, euoh as highways and other means of communication, while increasing the burden of taxation on industry, brings additionalfortune to the ground lords who colleot the enhanc- ed ' land values in the centres of com- merce. Thus the burden to one part of sooiety means riohee to the other part. Tbie inequality it is sought to remedy by asking the Legislature to diminish the taxation on buildings and other im- provements and thea iuorease taxes on. laud' values. The steamer ltliowera, missing for some time, has been spoken near the Hawaiian 'elan ds. Tolton, the Conservative nominee for the Legislative Assembly in • West . Well- ington, has withdrawn. The folly of prejudice is frequently shown by people who prefer to suffer for years rather than try an advertised rem- edy. The millions who have no euoh notions, take Ayer'e Sarsaparilla for blood dieeaees and are oared. So muoh for common sense.
