The boy raised on a farm -has a better chance in life than a city -bred boy. This is our profound convi don after years of ex- perience and observe ion in city and coun- try with young men ii a, wide range of in- dustries. The farm bred boy almost in- variably has the bet er eonatitution-those elements of health and ability to stand hard, work that mean so much in this life. He is usually endowed w th • a stronger moral character. We are shocked if a country lad in our employ goes wrong; city youths are more likely to be suspected. Absolute in- tegrity was never iin greater demand in young men. • The cityboy often has a pertness or "smart" air that the country youth does not possess. But the latter more frequently develop the manly, substantial bearing that denotes real character. His mind is better trained than the average town boy's. He may not be quite aleglib in his book learn- ing, but the farm -bred 'boy, taught in Nature's school to observe and understand, has a rare foundation upon which to build a knowledge of industry, art, science or any branch of farming. The boy on the farm doesn't appreciate all this, but he ought to be tbankful for this country life. After he has had some years of experience in other vocations, he will realize how true these words are. The farm is the place to rear a family. • The African Native and the Loco- motive. Some interesting remarks by the Mata. bele on the steam engine are recorded by Mr. Francis Cox'one of the leading vieitors to Buluwayo. The locomotive was -thus described: It is a hugh animal beloroging to the white .man. It has only one eye (the head lamp.). It feeds on fire and hates work. When the white man pumps it to make it work it screams. It comes from somewhere but no one knows from whence." Of a steam trateion engine, seen when the driver was oiling it, the Matabele said that "it was a huge animal which had the fever very badly, because the 'white man poured in medicine at so many parts of its body." • First IClondyke Pap r. The honor of belbg the first pis publish- ed in Dawson City, Klondyke, s claimed by the Kloadyke News, appearing weekly since July 175h, 1897. It contains everything that is of intereet to the miners, and likely to attract others to the region. The first number boasts of two colemns of advertise- ments. The subscription price is $20 a year, or 1-2d. per number. The proprietor was the first advertisement canvasser at Dawson City, and brought with him the compositors to set the paper, bat they soon kfaliim, infected by the geld fever, prefer- ring to " lift" gold from the earth rather than type from the case. The result is that the proprietor of the Kloadyke News -com- bines in the same individual the • offices of editor, compositor, printer and publisher. - Printers' Register. • Fgods kir' Indoor and Outdoor Workers. Mrs. S. T. Rorer, writing on "What In- digestion Really Means," in the February Ladies' Horne Journal, gives this instructive hint as to the proper food for indoor and outdoor laborers; "The indoor laborer, such as, the editor and bookkeeper, and all persons sitting at desks in illy -ventilated and overheated rooms, need a goodly quan- tity of repair food -their work is trying - but less of the heat and force foods. Rice and olive oil are the best forms of heat food,. as they are so easily and quickly appropri- ated. Outdoor laborers, or those who have bodily exercise and a greater amount of _fresh air, should proportion their allowance t hree-fifths carbonaceous or heat -giving feeds, to two fifths albuminoids or repair foods -both ratios to be changed to suit season and climate and length of days work. In summer, for instance, the same amount of rice would be allowed, but less oil. The fats bum with greater vigor that the starch, and give, in consequence, a greater amout of warmth. The slow -burning rice is the foodof those living in warm climates, while the people in the far N4th live elmost en- tirely oifaS. Why New York is Badly • Governed. A great many explanations are offered of this discreditable state of things, but there is a general reluctance to acknowledge the truth, which is, that if New York is badly governed it is because it deserves bad gov- ernment. Its people do not, to judge by their usual votes, sincerely wish for a rigid- ly upright administration. If they did,they could get it at once. No city in the world is more nearly sovereign in its own domain than New York. Its freedom and power of self-government are far above those of Lon- don. There is nothing above it except the State Legislature, and, owing to Uri vastness and its wealth, it can control the State Legislature whenever it chooses, and, in fact, does control it, having demanded and received this very year privileges which make it in all but name a free and sovereign city. Ita mayor will have within his do- . which is as populous as Holland, all the powers of an ordinary king, while its governing council wiU be, in fact, a legisla- ture. This mayor, all his greater executive colleagues, and this governing council will be elected by the people, voting secretly by universal suffrage, and entirely beyord any terrorism and any bribery en mane. If the electors iike te create an honest and efficient governvaent they can do it, and if they ,do not create, one; the reason -the sole reaeon -is that they do not wish. Every candidate is put under the micro- scope; there is no working law of libel, and, as the people are excited, they know before the election the entire record, the opinions and- the private character of every man seeking office at their hand. They vote with their eyes open, the simple truth being that those who.support the wrong man do it because they prefer a corinpt and easy ad- ministration toe rigid upright one. They think taxation in themselves will' be no heavier, and that its proceeds will be more "diffused" in small appointments, little but profitable contracts, and high wages. They do not exactly delight in corruption, but they will tolerate ie rather than the "spoils" system should come abruptly to bai end. When Tammany rules the magistrates ate inefficient, but they are lenient; the police are corrupt, but they wink s at the things the people wish to be winked at; the streets are in bad order, but the crowds of men engaged to repair them draw good wages for light work when they please. -London Economist. - • The Queen's -Letters. The Queen is very methodical in all her ways, and has always conducted her corres- pondenee on certain lines, from which she is not likely to deviate as she advances in age. It is told that Her Majesty will not read an official letter unless it is presented to her unfolded, and without a single crease. Her private lettere- are without numbers, and never does the Queen forget to send a tele- gram or note of kindly congratulation upon the birthdays of her German relations. Every morning a little "date -book" is brought to her, and if after referring to it the birthday of a grandchild or great-grand- child is found noted, a gift is dispatch to the little one accompanied by fond words of greeting. he Queen, now that her eye- sight is less good, naturally dictates to a number ofletters,but there are certain ones, to the Prince of Walea,the Empress Frederick, and Lord Salisbury, for inatance, which she writes with her own hand,still with freedom and firmness; always upon the same paper, white edged with black, and with the royal coronet and name of residence in black also. Besides private letters there are hundreds of others daily received which require an answer, penned either .h7 the Queen's pri- vate secretary or one of his many assistants. Very often the Queen, who is conscientious in little things as in big, causes enquiry to be made into matters she has not wholly un- derstood. I may add that the Queen's "copy" is very neat looking indeed. Rarely skies she make any important corrections in what she has written, as those letters which her people have seen reproduced in fac- simile have shown. The letter written by her to Miss Gordon for instance, displays hardly a word of alternation. -The Woman et Home. • More Where it Came From. Iu She course of an address on the shorter catechism the other evening, a Mr. Gillie told a • story which he believed had never been in print. In an 'Isaesembly of Roman Catholics'at which a Cardinal was present, the tala fell on theological subjects, and a Protestant lady, who was present, joined in. • Some one happened to say to her, "And what do you consider the true definition of sin ?" She at once replied with the answer of the shorter catechism, "Sin is any want of Conformity to, or trans- gression of, the law of God." The Cardinal looked attentively at her. -" Madarif," he said, "that is a very good definition." "Yes, your Eminence, replied the lady,- " and there are other good definitions where that came from." • Where Specialists Failed Dr. Chase Cured Catarrh. James Spence, Clachan Ont , writes :-" I had been a sufferer from Ceterih for 16 years. It beceme chronic, WO 1 had given up hopes of ever •being cured when advised by a friend to try Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure. I at once started, and am pleased to state three boxee effected a o omplete oure. and I heartily recommend it 150 anyone suffering frora Catarrh." • Women's Ways. A cynic says that the majority of married women possess a singularly limited store of convereational. sentences for home consump- tion, This, indeed, is mainly temposed of such familiar Vaasa 1113-" It ie impossible to pleaseyou; ' "No man Wohld treat his wife as yeu do ;" "I have nothing whatever to Wear; " Your are the moat selfish man on ' earth ;" " Others do not know you as I do;" land " There never was st man like you."' • An Instant Response. The other morning a Sunday school teach- er in Edinburgh gave the children a little talk about their souls. When be had finish- ed he thought he would ask them a few questions to see if they understood what had been told them. So he began-" What did the Almighty give . us besides our bodies ?" Perhaps you can imagine what his emotions were when they instantly re- sponded, "Legs !" • Correct. Teacher-" Tommy, eau you give me a sentence in which 'but is a coejuction ?" Tommy -"See the goat butt the boy. 'But' is a coniunction and connects the boy with the goat." • A Smart Lawyer. It seems that a lawyer is somewhat of rie carpenter. He can file a bill, split a hair, chop login, dovetail an argument, make an entry, get, up a case, frame an indictment, empanel a jury, put them in a box, bore a court, chisel a client, and such things. • lan Maclaren on Scott. "Scott was all gold, and even the nuggets are not enough; the gravel ought to' be sifted and the gold dust gathered in, for Scott had such an afflu- ence of knowledge, legend and poetry that he did not write by measure, but put his hand.into his pocket and threw out money that any might pick it up. What one is afraid of is that Scott is belts; raised to the elevation of a classic, and that is the sante thing as taking a man out of the house of commons, where he is an active figure, and placing him in the stately seclusion of the house of lords. I do not know a single page of Scott that is not readable, and I do not/ know a single page that would shake a man's faith or bring. a blush to a wom- an's cheek. Why do not people read Scott as they ought to? Some say that he is not interesting, and -others object to his style. Why, Carlyle himself brought the charge against Scott that he was amusing. Amusing! One of the grand- est functions of fiction is to be arawling in the right sense -that of lifting Up the weight and care of daily life from men's minds by leading them into re- gions of sentiment and romance." The Nearest Approach. An English tourist visited Arran; and being a keen disciple of Izaak Walton, was arranging to have a day's good sport. -. Being told that the cleg, or horsefly, would- suit his purpose achnirably for a lure, he, addressed himself to -Christy, the highland servant girl, "I say, my girl, On you get me some horseflies?' ' Chtisty looked stupid, and he repeat- ed hitOriestion. Finding that she did not yet comprehend him, he exclaimed: • "Why, girl, did you never see a horsefly?" "Naa, sir," said the girl, "but a wanse saw a coo jump ower a preshi- pie*. "-Rambler. Extenuation. "I can, tell when my wife buys some- thing she considers extravagant." "How can you tell?"

' Ball programmes are made in hun- dreds Of styles. A wholesale dealer in New York . prepares a sample book, which is of the size of an atlas and the thickness of a dictionary. Fancy cards for some other uses are shown in thin book also, but of ball programmes alone there may be 500 styleit. The book is like a great album. The dealer eends mut 2,500 such •books to printers and stationers. Programmes can be bought it almost any price, inclitcling many at extremely low prices. Nearly all are more or less ornamented, many of them with em- bossed work finished with gilt or ia col- ors and in a great variety of designs. There is scarcely any society, perhaps none, that could not find here an appro- priate programme. There is, for in- stance, a ball programme embellished with a trolley car. A ntmiber of pro- grammes, suitable for yachting ' club dances, have a yacht surrounded by va- rious emblems of yachting and of the sea. There are programmes for muoicial societies, arith appropriate emblems, and for railroad men, for bicycliste, for military organizations, for letter car- riers, for -firemen. The cords and tassels for the pro- grammes are a separate article of man- ufacture. They are produced in 'great variety of colors, qualities, sizes and styles and sold in enormous numbers and many of them at prices that Seem marvelously cheap. It is probable that nearly all the programnies of •the kinds referred to, handsome and elaborate as many of them are, would sell complete at prices under $5 a hundred. There are folded ball programmes, with a picture decoration, that are sold at wholesale, without printing or cord and tastiel, as low as 85 cents a hundred. The production of costlier, 'pro- grtunmes, such as sell for $5 a handred and upward, is a business by itself. These are made in ebout 150 different design& ranging in price hp to $1.25 each., They are made in a great variety of hapes and sizes, and, as with the less costly programmes, of designs appropriate to the occasion on which they are used. The more costly. programmes are adorn- ed with hand painted pictures Cellu- loid in various forms is employed in the making of these programmes, and satin, lace and papier =ache are also used. All these programmes are of larger size than the less expensive varieties, and each one is put up in a box. A pro- gramme of the highest price was an elaborate production 14 inches square. The programmes most commonly sold among the costlier kinds bring a1xu4 $18 a hundred. There are sold of the cheaper -vari- eties of ball programmes millions annu- ally; of the costlier far fewer. These may be numbered in thousande. Winter, is the season of the most active demand, for ball progriantnea, bat they are sold the year round. Some ball programmes are exported to Mexico and the 'various countries of South America. Many of the designs are equally suitable end ap- propriate anywhere. The printing is done in the countries in which they are used. -New York Sun. hounding Celebrities. Dr. Paul Garnier, a French specialist in lunacy, has been giving some infor- mation about the insane men and wom- en who follow celebrities about and fall in love with them. The doctor has to send two or three women of this sort to asylums every month, and nothing is known of the cases by the public. Good looking priests, the doctor declares, are notably marks for the attention of such females. After the priests, but in a lesser degree, come the members of parlia- ment whose names are most frequently in the newspapers or who make good speeches in the chamber, the authors and the handsome actors. The latter, like the priests, have often been threat- ened by their jealous admirers. • In some instances women have gone to the the- aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire at them, but for some reason or Other have failed to carry out their purpose. As to actresses, Dr. Garnieil states that their dangerous adorers areierribly nu- merous. • Mme. Sarah Bernhardt has sometimes to be watched over very care- fully, Her worshipers secrete them- selves in all sorts of places in order to see her enter or leavehertheater or her residence. The special detectives have had to interfere on two noted occasions in order to save the fiunous actress from the iSullets or the daggers of maniacs who resolved to injure or kill her be- cause she refused to respond to their flat- teries and passionate declarations of love. An Eraglish Shop. Shopping is a task at any time, and not always a pleasent one, but imagine looking for bargains in 50 different de- partments of a store. That is the num- ber the largest department store in Lon- don contains, `and we may expect yet to see it on this side of the water, as American enterprise and energy have been heading in: that direction for sev- eral years past. In the London store everything from a cannon to a needle may be purchased. Yon may have your phOtographs taken, hair dressed and nails manicured, your household goods stored or insured. Yon may have a house built, decorated, furnished all complete, with the servants and insur- ance on the property, from one estab- lishment Pianos, iron in bars and the- ater tickets may be obtained, as well as drugs, ribbons and laces. Altogether it would be an interesting place in Which to spend a week or two shopping. -Phil- adelphia Pres. - A Model Town. Hoopestown, 1fls., a town of 4,000 inhabitants, hits inever had a saloon..

Knox College is the only American college that has thus honored the explorer. Dr. Nansan amid She applause of the audience, accepted the honor. .-The boycott of the newspapers of Den- ver, begun ten days ago by fourteen de- partment stores, was ended by the uncondi- tional surrender of the stores. The stores made the demand that the papers reduce their advertising rate 30 per cent. or they would cease to advertise. The fight has stirred up the community greatly, the re- sult being that the stores were almoat for- saken by buyers, and the proprietors had to surrender or go out of business. Labor unions have held meeting after meeting to contrive plans to epread the agitation Isnd keep the people away from the department stores. At a late hour one evening the newspaper offiaes were visited by a repre- sentative from each store. They aeknowle edged that they were beaten, and would re- sume their advertising contracts tha soon as arrangements could be made. • Derivation of "Hogmanay." There has been considerable discussion regarding the meaning of the word " Hog- Manay," and also as to the origin of the custom. One party has said that the Scotch Protestants rose up on New Year's Eve and murdered the Catholics, and hence that night is called Hogmanay; but the word is derived from the French and is older than any possible persecutions of Catholics by Protestants. Some say it is a corruption of au gui menez, "lead on to the mistletoe," a cry which in some parts of France the boys that go about begging on the last day of December are said to use, but; authority for this is lacking. Others derive it from an old French word, equivalent to "She voice of country people beggiug small -presents, or New Year's gifts, on Christmas •' an ancient term of rejoicing, derived from the Druid's, who were wont, the first day of January, to go into the woods where, having sacrificed and banqueted together, they gathered mistletoe, esteeming it excellent -to make beaste fruitful, and most sovereign against all_tooison." In its modern um hogmanay is a New Year's gift. EPPS'S - COCOA ENGLISH BREAKFAST COCOA • Possesses the following Distinctive Merits: •Delicacy of Flavor, Superiority in Quality.
