What Manitoba Needs.' special correepondent of the Toronto meta now on a visit to Manitoba, onakes the following sensible remarks concerning eite condition of affairs there : All this country needs is akin' and care- folatsaing. The trouble with most of the %mess here is that they cermet stand vnnerity. They find their dreams of sad- ealth. almost realized by one good ;crop, aod at once they hasten into every _form of extravagance and carelessness. They want California. fruit, and vegetables from „Georgia, on their tablestin niideivinter, and -they we a thousand dollars worth of ma- aainery rotting in the fields where the last eureow vsaa turned or the lest sheaf bound. „atone place I saw e self binder reaper standing in the field, with the new crop of wheat- erowiag' aroand it. - 'this is the story of to -day and of yesterday -a story of /sate and prodigality, but already there are signff of a change. A good crop brought ex- am; and then a feilure in the wheat -rust ,or•thefroet-and then disappointment and ruin. ma y be asked, is this a good country fora young farmer from Ontario? I would answer, unhesitatingly, yes. The day of the hired man in Ontario is over. Sun- daes/10mile along with improved farming machinery. The hired man, finding his oc- aupsnion gone, has crottqed into the cities and towns, where the problem of the unim- Flora is disturbing us when it should Tot. These men and their families should bead' here. There is land enough here to ,give a, squere mile to every ex -hired man ante to every unimployed citizen and laborer an Ontario, and it is land that will give him wealth,comfort and luxuries he does not mew -enjoy ; where his little ones will grow alp great stalwart men and women, where the comforts of ciellization are at his door.. But this will not atone without labor, and perhaps a few years' hardships. Then thrift, must be practiced. Already I find that -the idea, of thrift and economy is tak- inghod of menYof the farmers here. They Ube -ye in the future of the country.: They *desire to make it the wealthiest farming -country in the world. They are learning that it is a grand thing to have a balance in the bank when there is a late spring or the frost sweeps down from the north and nips the ripening grain. The men tt-ho take Judd of this idea will build up Manitobee- nottbs FOIL THOUSANDS. But many poor mon in the east with -draggling .families are -appalled by the aliffi/rdties in the way. They rather bear the ills they have than trust to others tha t they know not of. These men are standing in their own light. If they express a de- termination to come out her to develop the =country, to become rich, to have comfort- able homes for themselves, and. to be iade- pendent of landlords and lebor unions, they will find no obstacles in their way. They will find every person, from the officials of -the" great railway, the 'Canadian. Pecific Railway, that has so much at stake -here, down to the latest settler, extending to the thena -a helping hand. To those who• intend to come I would say -to make first of all several, VOWS and stack to them. First, to be temperate in their Imbits ; second, to do their work on the. farm thoroughly ; and, thirdly, to pia up with some discomforts at first without be- coming discouraged, and, lastly, when sue- aess begins to erown their efforts, to prac- tice thrift and economy even in the midst of plenty, and to remembea the story of a well- known, millionaire, who used; •to go down town aid stand lookina at the shop win- dows, thanking fortune there were so many ~fine thiegs and luxuries he could do with- out.• There is a great future in store for Mani- toba and the Northwest Territories, and the cIa,se of people required are thriftyfarm• ers, and the people willing to work. . • Jerry.

A. capital story is told' rega,rding two ped- dlers of Hebrew extraction, who were ply- ing their vocation in the country. Calling at a farm house for dinner, they were ac- commodated, though the fare was, if any- thing, worse than that usually given to tramps, the dryest of, bread, very stale cold potatoes, seraps of fat meat and bones, sour milk, etc. -and what made matters worse, they were charged $1 for the miserable re- past. Itatook all the small change they could rake and scrape to pee, the score, and shouldering their packs they left the house two very sober and disgusted men. After walking down the rod for half a mile in silence, one of them Ventured to relieve his feelings. Dot vas a pad man, Isaac." Yes, Moses, dot vas a' very badman." Another half mile, and another long sil- en( e ; then : "God vill punish dot man, Lamed." . "Yes, Moses' God vill 'tartish clot man." They trudgedon fully a mile further be- fore either spoke again, and then Moses broke the silence by exclaiming 'with quiet emphasis, as he drew a ehandful of silver spoons froni.his bosom : - "Isaac, God hits punished dot man." . • Some Helps to Success.

A correspondent of the Century -Journal, writing Eibout the pi3nking of ice, says be uses straw. instead of sawdust. He thinks the ice should always be packed* on its edge, es it.will not melt so fast, because the pores run the oth6r way ; s,lso when placed on its .edge it is easier to get loose when :wanted. Ile eantinues- : 1 usreFtekhink that noth- ing but eawdetst would do to pack ice, but for the last three years we have used straw, and I find that the ice keeps as well. The straw is much easier to handle, and a great deal cheaper. The same straw will last two seasons. 'Have the straw on hand - before you begin to fill the •house.. Peck the ice so . as to leave eight or ten inches of spice for thestraw' between the Walls of the house and the ice. Pack said space solid with straw, one layer at a time, as the ice is put in.

This last year the ice here kept better than it ever. .did before, be- -cause I kept the doors on the end of the building above the ineepen all the tithe, so there was no hot air above the ice in the house; The hot air above theice is what melts it mostly. . A Large Boiler. A.boiler, as you doubtless know, is the vessel in which the water is boiled to genet - ate steam to run the engines and machinery inhoats and factories. In New York City there is a .company which ,sells steam for heating and for mechanical purposes. That is, they have a building id- which they put large. boilers. From these boilers the steam is earried through the pipes), the Elaine as water and gas are carried into .buildings, and -91ere used. The other day one of these steam heating compallies put in the largest beiler, probably, that ever was constructed. It 'took thirty-six horses to -draw it from the pier On which it was landed to the building ia which it was to be placed. It weighs 119;0(14 pounds and stand's 3.1 feet high. When it was got to the building the front of the building had to be torn out. to get the boiler in. • On its josirney from the pier to its home it was attended -by a large crowd of interested spectators. counties of Pennsylvania a farmer would elm st as soon think of never cleaning his horses as letting his orchard trees go with- out a coating of lime -wash once a year. The practical results of this treatment speak for themselves. No healthier trees or more successful fruit crops can be had than result from this _practice. • g Foreign Bodies in the Throat. The difficulty of removing fish -bones and similar o structioes impacted at the lower end of the oesophagus is well known, and various echanical measures and appliances have bee invented to deal with the diffi- cult. ne of the most simple, however, and, as r ported, one of the most , effectual, is t ac minister to the Plitient a pint of mulkj a d forty minutes afterwards s an emet e of sulphate of zine.

A Lighthouse without a Light. The most extraordinary cif all lighthouses is -to be found on Arnish Rock, Stornoway Bay -a rock which is separated from the Island of Lewis by a channel over 500 feet wide. It is in the Rebrides, Scotland. On this rock a conical beacon is erected, its summit a lantern is fixed, from night after night, shines a light seen by the fishermen far and wid there is no burning lamp in the lant no attendant ever goes to it, for the simple reason that there is no lamp to atte d to,no wick to trim, and no oil -well to replrish. The way in which this pepuliat.lig thouse is illuminated is this : On11,he Island of Lewis, 500 feet or so away, is a lighthouse, and from a window in the tower a steam of light -is projected on a mirror in the lantern on the summit of Amish Rock. Th se rays are reflected to an arrangement of and by their action are converged to outside the lantern,from which they in the necessary direction." The consequence is that to all inte purposes a lighthouse 'exists which has neither lamp nor lighthouse -keeper, and yet which gives as serviceable a light -taking into aecount the requirements of this lo- cality -as if an elaborate and costly light- house, with lamps, service -roam, bed -room, living -room, storeroom, oil -room, water - tanks, and. all other aecessories, were erect- ed on the summit of the rock. -Tit -Bits. • The Largest School in the World. Within a stone's -throw of Whitechapel, surrounded by some of the very worst slums,stands the largest school in the world. It is presided over by a peer of the realm, Lord Rothschild, who is regarded with love and admiration by every pupil, or he is in- deed their good fairy. This school educates 3,500 children' • belonging mostly to the poorest foreign Jews, and has a staff of 100 teachers. It is well known that this is Lord Rothe - child's pet institution, and that were it not for his munificent support the school would be unable to meet its vast expenditure. It is owing to lais generoeity that free break- fasts are given every morning to all child- ren who wish to take them, no questions being asked. Again, he presents every boy with a suit of clothes and a pair of boots, and every girl with a dress, and a pair of boots in the month of April, near the Jewish passnidea Passover. Aa of he poverty of the children may be gleaned from the fact that not more than two per cent. of them decline to avail themselves of this charity. A secoud pair of bcots is offered in the inonth of •Oetober to every child whOse boots are. not likely to last during the approaching -winter. It is scarcely neceseary to state that few do not get them. A very popular feature in the school is the savings -bank department, instituted by the kindly president. In order to encourage habits of thrift, he allows an interest of ten per cent. per annum on all savings. - Tit -Bits. :1 and on which, hich is .
