It is Wrote to Kill and to Wound. Parents have no right to rob their children of play and the development of their mental and physical. Net: have they a right to nag, fret arid annoy any ono, young or old, merely to see how bad they can make them fool or to what extent they van wound and torture the spirit of the 0110 thus wrought upon, Wounds of the stein and of the flesh heal quickly or otherwise, according to the health condition of the physical body. but wounds made in the sent and inner life :lo not heel so quickly. \Verde to the inner life tiro things that endure forever. 41f pray you, good mother, and you, too, man. ly father, and all fathers should be manly, as many of you are, to love your children more and to instruct, encourage, direct and guard then more than many of you who are well-intentioned do, as you hurry along in business paths, or give your time and thoughts to bonsehnid carps and duties. Hnmadly to be happy and fully useful must bo healthy in the lovingly mental as well as in the merely physical. Admit only the Good. Auger is a vory unprofitable guest, Every time a wife permits her auger to rise and 164- taolc and overwhelm others, or add to the load of care and worriment every good hes- band has to carry as he provides for others, she reduces the love her husband hake her. Aman may not say all he thinks, but the sears of the unkind words remain within for hours and often for days, when his mind had better be clear for the erensactien of business in thio very busy world where man needs all his forties to make of life a satis- factory success. 1)o not hear all that is Bald to you, if what is said tempts you to lose o0ntrol of your temper and your tongue.

Tho Chicago authorities have tasked for catalogues of the exhibits from enol) province of very short notice, and Commissioner Awroy went to Ottawa last night to a meeting 01 the commissioners from all tho pr vmee8 of the Dominion to allot space for the exhibits.

It is little 0ver two years since the matter wlaa taken in hand on a scale of any magnitude ; but the scheme has boon attended with a degree of 8ne0008, that, 10 say the least, is phenom- enal, and Its results cannot fail to material- ly affect the prosperity of rho whole country. Under the administration of the 2'lini0torof Agriculture it central experimental farm has been established in Ottawa. It has been placed under the T,ANA0E11ONT Or ac141'174 moo, capable not only of collating the results of valuable experiments in all departments of farm work, but of presenting theta in the forst of popularly written reports, and, what is of equal value, instructive lectures to farmers throughout the Dominion Branch farms in other parts of the aonntry have also been established in order that the ex- periments Wright be carried nn under diverse conditions 148 to soil and climate. The distribution of small sample bags of grain for seed to all farmers who may apply for them is one of the most valuable ((a- ttires of the work at these farms. A large part of their area 10 set apart for the grow. nog of crops of the most suitable kind, WW1 It view to discovering those which are best adapted to partieuter soils, Of very great importance, also, is the series of experi- ments merle in the feeding of cattle and shine. There ace probably few farmers anywhere to whom the knowledge acquired from those experiments world not be of in- struction and valve. The first place, now. ever, in the great ellecatiollal schemes of the Ct4nadiau Minister of Agriculture Is the work carried on by the 1)ariy Cenmiasione', Processor T. W. Roherteou, to whose second annual report attention is directed. The exhaustive experiments conducted at the central farm are really of secondary im- portance to the work that be and his staff of assistants have overtaken, They have it may bo said, been ovor the length and breadth of the Inert, delivering popular Lee, tures and giving demonstrations in the work of cheese anti butter making, They have tompora'iy taken over for their do- partmont a large number of cheese factories for the winter, fitted them with the neces- sary apparatus and turned thein into work- ing creameries, in order to demonstrate the commercial soundness of aselleme that 111004 have been regarded with considerable mho giving, On such a scale has this work been carried on, that it may be excepted as liter• ally true that there ore pit\V (11411(101; OR BUTTER MAKERS 111 the entire Dominion who have nob wit- nessed or (ohne into direct acquaintance with the most approved methods tnmwn in their industry. The best system of oattlo feeding, swine feeding, the preservation of fodder in silos have been brought under the notice of every farmer in the canary, Dither by means of a lecture or through the ole• alum of the bulletins issued from time Lo time from the experimental fame and agricultural oollogoe. In its several de- partments this groat educative scheme has manifestly matte au impression on the people for whose heuefit it has been planned. A distinct stop in advance hes been made, and it neer( loudly bo added that those who fail to keep node with that advance will fall be- hind in the race for wealth mel the struggle for subsiatotoo. It must be loft for those whom it directly concerns to oonside0 how the facts thus briefly noticed aro likely to affect Britisho egri)tu 'al interests, and also whether they have or have not an instructive aspect, Our imports of agrionitural, dairy and farmyard produce show no signs of diminution. It has oocurtod to many observers that the heavy arrivals of butter, ohoese, and ogee from abroad that find place on our produce markets are an 1111110aeseary severe inroad upon the domain 05 British farmers. Va'i-. nus and apparently setfsfectory reasons have been given for not altering the eoonony of the farm bo combat this foreign eon eti- tion.

These )natters enforce their own lesson, but it he desirable that i4 should be learned at as little expense ea possible, It may bo that the time has arrived when a readjustment of farming in. dnstry has become expedient ; for competi- tion in cereals has reduced the return in that department to a very narrow limit.

Terrible Soene on a Vessel's Deek' Further particulars of tine murders of the captain and owner of the labour schooner Constantino in the New Hebrides show that a terrible encounter oecur'red on the vessel's deck, during which four of the crew were shot dead. Ae0ordi1141 to the information, it seems that the Constantino was taking a number of natives bath to their homes, but the wind being adverse, some of then could not 6e landed at their own islands. This seemed to exasperate 4110111, and nee of the natives incited the ethers to mutiny. The owner of the vessel -Mr. Edward Pasnin, a British subject -seeing that 4,oaoheny was brewing, made an attempt to teach his cabin to get hie Winchester rifle, but ho had only got a few yard4 when ho wa8 81101 dead by the ringleaders of the mutineers. Cap- tain Jnmace, getting his revolver, made a bold 01'1,11 to save his life, but, being anti- cipated by the natives, he, too, was shot dead. Two native boys were also stmt dead, A fifth man w0.8 also shot, and then the mutineers took dlarg0 of the vessel. The bodies of the murdered m011, whtoh wet( lying on the deck, were thrown overboard, and then commenced the looting of the vessel. After plundering the Draft, the murderers took two of the ship's boats, and one party landed eta the island of Pentecost and the remainder at Aoba. The Constan- tino with her sells set, was allowed to drift wherever the winds and current 0otil41 take her, and mho finally became stranded on a reef at Malice, where she was found by the missionary steamer Southern Cross. The Constantine had then a hole in her, and was practically it wreck. Tho missionaries found on board a diary, which had been written up to about tete date of the massacre.

The ship was visited by the Prefect of the Peuviu00, aecompanierl by Mr, R'ilsnn, the British Consul, for the pur- pose of placing in the hands of the captain a gold medal which the Peruvian Govern - melt had ordered to bo presented to the crow of the Garnet as a token of gratitude for, and in recognition of, their splendid bravely at the great fires in Callao on the 18th and 22d August last.
