The looel treatment consists in licking the up- ' per surface of the paw, which it applied to ;the wounded eye, again licking the paw when it became dry. ry �� Farmers Becoming. Impatient. The farmers of Canada were Joe. easily eonvected_ to protectionism, consenting without a murmur to pay. heavy tribute • to those public pensioners the manufac- turers. They still proudly call themselves protectionists. But the agitation with re- gard to reciprocity has brought them out of their shells, and they are using the old National relic,/ arguments in a way that must make the "Industrial League's" hair stand on end. At a recent meeting of the Farmer's Institute for the county of Ontario, a resolution declaring that in the "opinion of this Institute the removal of all trade restrictions between the United States and Canada 'is highly desirable" was carried with but one dissenting voice. One farmer stated thatoon the principle that the "producer pays the duty" he had ,contributed tour hundred and fifty dollars to paying oft' the national debt of the 'United States. Another farmer pointed out that on the same principle reciprocity would add ten cents a bushel to the price of all the barley raised in Ontario. How is the Industrial Leaguer to meet such ,rel,, convincing arguments as these ? If he denies that the producer pays the duty, then the farmer will want to know who pays the duty on the cottons, woollens^ttt7>,Cl sugar be has to use. If he denies that the Americans want to'buy Canadian products at, all, he' is met by the inconvenient blue books which show that they buy our sur- plus barley,horses,etc,, in spite of the duty. At this same meeting of the County of Ontario farmers, some interesting facts as to their position were brought forward. The whole ineeting concurred in the as- sertion that no farmer in the county bad made more than three per cent ou his in vestment, and that many farmers had to mp.rtgage their farms during,the past five or six years as they were constantly going behind. Good authorities in other parts of the Province state that, during.the last ten years, the farmers have not made la- borers' wages and the intareat Un -their mortgages. That men . in this position Should consent to be taxed for the benefit of the manufacturers is strange, but it will be more extraordinary still if the manu- 'faeturers succeed in twisting the national policy arguments so as to induce them to abandon the desire for reciprocity.—Mon- breal Witness. -Prof. Chas. Siedhoflr and his wife Matilda, aged 91 and 92 years, respect- ively, tired of a long -and futile struggle with destitution, committed suicide, on Friday, at Union Hill, N. J. Seidliorfl, it is said, was a professor of chemistry at one time at Heidelberg University. He came to Union Bill about 30 years ago. He supported himself by writing for newsyapers, making translitions,and occasionally lecturing upon chemistry, and electricity., An investtnent in a patent cost him several thousand dollars, and he gradually became despondcnt. The couple had been living in poverty and filth for some time. They had taken yanide of potassium. Ireland's cause would have gained a great deal of sympathy that it has never bad had Mr. Parnell boldly cleared him- self of all alliance with agrarian ou'ritge -at home . and dynamite tonsl.i-acv abroad. His denunciations of these evils have been the most sparing possible,and the exculpations of them on the part of the whole Irish press 1 6 re such as to prove a gennino sympathy between the parliamentary party and : the various methods of outlawry which have brought on that party's cause the detestation of many who would otherwise have sym- pathized with it. The whole force of Mr. Gladstone's political genius and the whole weight of his high reputation for conscientiousness have apparently failed to satisfy the Liberal party of Eng - ]and that his course was the right A, one. The majority of that party has followed him lona in tho hope that his measure of Home Rule might become one that they could accept, His determined refusal to modify his bill is, however, beginning to convince them that, under present alliances, their choice is between accepting what the National- • ists dicta'° and nothing. Mr. Gladstone's followers in the 'louse of Commons havestood well by him in his losing battle. They will now have to con ent'to Ctinser- vat]ve rule or forth new eombinatirins on some considerably modified issue. l;l IIandl and Gum UAW, Tho toothsome gum dre and the rubber -like mar'shmallorl wijSoon be an expensive luxury, and all because the " false prophet," thousands of miles away, is stirring up a rebellion in the Soudan. Pure gum arabic comprises over S0 per ceut. of all the beat confec- tionery, and comes almost exclusively from tho Soudan. Khartoum is its great market. It is brought there by the natives and bartered to merchants from Cairo and Suakim for gnus, cart- ridges, trinkets, and other articles dear to the heart of a savage. Once a year, during October and No- vember, when the Nile is at its highest, the yield is floated down on barges to Cairo, and thence shipped to the four principal markets of the world—London, Paris, Marseilles, and 'New York. A small part is taken overland on camels to Saukim, about a three months' trip. The unit of commerce is a bale con- taining five hundred pounds The European consumption every year is twelve thousand of these hales, while America consumes half as many. Sunflowers Facing the Sun. While the fact that sunflowers turn their faces toward the sun in its course during the day is its old as our know- ledge of the plant, I am not aware that they turn to the oast again after their obeisance to the settin;'sun. One evening during a shorn stay at a village -in Colorado, in' the mummer of 1881, I took a walk along the backs of a lame irrigatingditch just as the sun was setting. The wild variety of II(•linntku.v animas, Lin., grew abundantly there and I observed that the bror,d faces of all the flowers were, as is neral in the clear sunset, turned to the nest. Re- turning by the same path less than an hour afterward, and immediately after the daylight was gone, I found to my sure -rise, that much the greater part of those flower, bad already turned their faces. furl to the east, in anticipation, as it were, of the sun's rising. They had in that short timo retraced the semi- circle in the traversing of which with the sun they had spent the whole day. Both day and night were cloudless, and apparently no uunsual•condition existed thilt.znight have exceptionally affected the movements of the flowers. I doubt not that many persons, like myself, have supposed that sunflowers remain all night with their faces to the west, as they aro when the sunlight leaves them, and until they aro con- strained by. the light of the rising sun to turn to the cast again. It is not my purpose to offer any explanation of the cause of the phenomenon here recorded, but it seemed to me improbable that it could have been au exceptional in- stance; and 1 only regret that no oppor- tnnityhas .since occurred to me to re- peat the observation. A French Governess. A certain Parisian marquise, well known both for beauty and good nature, recently communicated with M. Tomasi, the Commissary of Police, and inform• ed him that some valuable jewellery had been stolen from her hotel in the Rude de Grenelle St. Germain. He ex- amined the servants without obtaining any clue, and then inquired of the fair applicant whether any Member of her household had escaped ]lis scrutiny. "Nobody except my governess," An- swered the lady. "I think we had better see her too," said M. Tomasi. But the marquise protested that this was quite unnecessary, as she trusted her implicitly; that she was a most ex- emplary- girl in every way ; that site supported an aged "mother out of her Small s19n iusgs, etc. ` The polite commissary bowed with the air of a man who is but half con- vinced, but said nothing further on the subject. Some time afterward the marquise went down to her chateau intim Depart- ment of Nievre, and only a few days after her arrival thew notes, to the value of twenty thousand francs were ab- stracted from her 'bureau. Tho astute Tomasi was again communicated with. "This time, ntadamno," he said, "you must really allow ate to examine your govei ness." Tlte 'governess was accordingly sent by her mistress, a few days afterward, on a.mission to her Hotel iu Paris. On her arrival there, M. Tomasi met her, and inquired whether anything fresh had transpired concerning the robbery. " Nothing," said the girl. ".Can you assist mein any sway to find the culprit 2" he iugnired. " I know nothing beyond that .tire whole affair is"-sll elided'iii-Tiiyifte y;"' was the answer. "Madame la Marquise has told me what a dutiful daughter yon are," he continued. " I merely do my duty, and send some of my poor Savin s occasionally to my mother," replied the girL "Indeed," said he. "But surely Madame must pay you a very largo salary. Three thousand four hundred francs, which, I learn, yon sent to your mother a few days ago, is rather a; large sum." The girl turned very white, and was beginning some romantic story about an admirer who had given her the money, when M. Tomasi, who had been watch- ing her dress attentively, laid his hand in a parental way upon her arm, saying, as he did so,! -- " o,-" I take the greatest interest in your story, mademoiselle." He had observed that the sleeves of her dress had a very bulged appearance, and, as his fingers closed on her arm, there was a sound as though paper was being crashed. The governess saw that the game was up, and did the best thing she could in the circumstances—she fainted. The commissary then opened the dress with a pair of scissors, and 'dis- covered a large portion of the missing notes neatly sewn to the lining. The girl then confessed the whole of her guilt, and not only the notes, but most of the missing trinkets were restored tom, the too confiding marquise. —Clara Morris has recovered from har ncrvons prostration.
