FARMING AS A PROFESSION.
jnAn article on Agriculture as a
Profession" in the last Harper's 1%.1ag.
treine has much iu it of interest and
value to farmers --the community in
general—in everylaud. As he points
out, and as everyone knows, agricul-
tural conditions aro changing very
tepidly. An abundance of rich soil
uaa 1??een the cause of a great deal of
poor but comparatively profitable
farming in America. With advan-
tages as to soil and facilities for work-
ing it America is behind every
.country but India as to individual
showing in the wheat yield—not half
up to England. As to productiveness
British lands are improving and
American decreasing — the former
increased by a sufficiency of susten-
ance for 5,000,000 people in 25
years. Increased value and cost of
tillage with decreased value in pro-
;.plortionate returns render the situation
to agriculturists a perplexing one. It
is generally recognized to -day that
farmers do not realize adequate re-
turns for the money invested and the
labor involved. Statistics show that
in New YorlclState in '86 farmers on
..•the average realized'but 3i on oapi�
• tel invested allowing nothing for
time and labor. In consequence grain
. growing and cattle raising are being
gradually shifted west and dairying,
.:fruit and vegetable growing are be-
coming more common in the east.
The latter tendency requires greater
and more systematic work. The
writer argues in effect that the school
.aud farm must be brought into closer
•contact—we must have more scientific
knowledge intelligently applied. The
education and business habits of
business or intellectual callings might
profitably and pleasantly. be applied to
agricultural pursuits and professional
business interests and, farming be
toorrespoudiligly benefited. . 'The
writer then points out the advantages

tural 'colleges and se/Aols of science.

all professions are crowded and every

tendency is towards a decrease in the
number of those engaging in agricul-
tural pursuits. The comparatively
small farms in 13elgium and Germany
are described while the large yields are

PROTECTING WORKINGMEN.
The f$Iail says : During the recent
Presidential campaign in the United
States the Bepttblicans, among them
Mr. Andrew Carnegie, appealed to the
workingmen for their support on the
ground that the Democratic policy of
tariff reform would bring low wages,
and that the Republican high tariff
policy, on the other hand, would en-
snre high if not increased wages.:
Remembering this no doubt, Mr.
Carnegie's workmen recently petition-
ed him for an increase of wages. His
reply was the posting up initis mills
last week of a new sliding wage scale
which works an average of 20 per
cent., the pay of some men being cut
down 50 and 60 per tceut. As a result
the 2,000 men, will .now .go oue or
strike, and it may be safely assume(
that their opinion.of the boasted higl
tariff policy has•undcrgone a very greet
change,

The. Noon's Influence on Sleep.
A New York physician relates the
following instance to show the ,neon's
influence on sleep: The most sin -
ular case of insomnia of which I ever
heard is that of a friend of mine in a
neighboring town, a lady of middle
age. With the exception of her pearl-
ier insomnia, she is in robust health.
She, is an uncommonly sound sleeper
in the "dark of the moon," but as
the 'iew moon approaches its first
quarter she is attacked with wakeful.
ness. She eau sleep only at long
intervals during the night, and only a
few minutes .at a time. This sleep.
lessnees increases with the fulling of
the moon, and by the time that stage
in the moon's course is reached she is
unable to obtain even the lightest
slumber. She remains in a state of
uttertwakefuIness until the moon be-
gins to wane, when she gradually
grows sleepy again, and is able to
sleep longer and sounder us the moon

The courts have decided that as it is
an imperative right of humanity that

would be hailed with satisfaction by
the doctors, and a similar provision
for the undertakers would delight that
