reasons wl,V such great rnterf st Is
manif< sted by all classes in ihc suc¬
cess of agriculture. j
Agriculture underlies Hie success
of ahqest every other business, a If
the fnrnieis make trade
is active, money is plentiful and there
is a season of general prosp erity
. Professional men and merchants
yi alize the fact, that poor cro|;s .rjijJ

hard times for Uump Tlieir advice
and solicitude is not so nnwa’imntcd
rs many persons who are inclined‘ to
resent it, scent t<» think. j

Another reason lies in die facts
that persons actively engaged i» ; the
(iroffrtion of in trad', are compclb'd
to think, to calculate, to- can—
Lilly plan and weigh each inoVo
lhiMit. Being'vairicd to such habits
they cannot avoid seing the lack of
calculation and thought in
agriculture. They cannot avoid
m i injr, that raising cotton to pay for
com, meat, flour and guano bought
on credit, is a ruinous business. Tlicj'
are obliged to sec that (torn crib,

day when lie was left in the care of

over his body, great heads of pres

dying,she poured forth her deep love

and bitter d ispjttr. Mrs Loraine had

when restored to,health, Keller re

for a long time, but being thrown to¬

came up she, beckoned him to a :eat
by her side.
‘‘Our baby” she said “is six months

time that we give hern name?”
S “Ortainly she ought to he named
and I know of none so appropriate as
that of hoi noble mother, 1 move we
call her Nancy.”
“I have thought of another name
that I had rather she should hear.
I know how you hove been disap¬
pointed and how you have suifoied.
I know that your first love is indelii’
bly stamped upon and into your very
life and existence, your life is grow¬

One cannot but think of the enormous
quantity of fish they must get through,
The common seal, such as we see in our
aquaria, has evidently a most voracious
appetite, and never seems to be able tr
get os much as he can do with. Cor.
rider, then, the weight that must be cob
sumed in the year by tho fur real, several
times its size, roaming about under thor
oughly natural conditions in its natural
element, instead of being cooped up with
in tho four walls of a tan!:. ,
As a matter cf fact, tlio hosts of fur
seal produce a notable scarcity of fish
around tho Pribylovs. It is perfectly gunwale
hopeless to throw a lino over the
of a boat. You must go oat at least
seven or eight miles, and then you cm
•get nothing but very large halibut. Pro.
tically tho sca for 100 miles arour is
cleared offish'. It is computed that
forty pounds per day is rather a. ste . a
tion allowance for an adult male, twelw
pounds ■ to a female; and not much, if
any, Jess for the but growing pups,
Allow an average of ten pounds per in
dividual per day, and calculate what
4,000,000 or 0,000,000 would consume
every day-only 7.000,000 tons or so
Why. all the fishing of the world is but
a drop in the bucket compared with this,
Wo.must remember, too, th; .t tho seal is.
only ono of tho many creafurea which
prey on fish. I can well believe what is
asserted by many well informed pooplo, j
that tho supply cf sea fish is inexuausti- ! |
ble by any means known to man,—AD
the Year Round.
Tho Causes of Cancer.
Tlio predisposing causes cf cancer are
in tho habits of the patients themselves.
Just as civilization is tea causo of the
strain that wrecks co many intellects, so
it is also tho causo of depressing the
animal vitality of tho individual, and
bring3 in its train t'.xis dread diseaso.
Tho main cause of this disease is “estab
lidied wealth and a Etato of luxury.” ;
Tho appetite for eating meat and highly
pasoned food is indulged, and can he
jogulated and habitually indulged, only
in a state cf established civilisation, with
communities engaged in accumulating
fortunes and vising with cadi other in
sumptuous living. Thcco conditions, arid to¬
gether with habits of iudoiehoo in
lufilcient oxerciso, cause an qccoujula
tion of tho wasto products in tho system
which predisposes to causer. Then, an
cccidentaVlruise, or reversal cf fortuna
with mental depression, dr r.iiy tollable other
exciting caiise, may. develop tins
disease.
Tho lesson is obvious.. Pcoplo should
livo moro fragally and take plenty of
cxerciso, in tho open air, and, in short,
follow hygienic -modes of liviiig; and the
danger cf cancer u much moro rwjioto.
Tlio euro may bo difficult, but prevention
eoetns -to l;a - in tho power- cf -tho indi¬
vidual.—Medical Summary.

by preceding travelers. At the slowsta

farmers near and bung them in. There
*, however, a system winch is not much
^ed by which- you may send a notifica
tion ahead and havo horses ready even at
iie slow stations. In theory afi tho

This is required at a price so low that it
H r °SP' dod as a tax u P on t iem , but
since traveling has , increased . so much
arrangements seem to have been made
by which the keeper of the station as
eumes the farmers’ burden and furnishes
the homes. They are also required to
furnish a vehicle, but this obligationpnly
extends to the rough country canole of
tvvo wheels, with oply a seat for. one, mid
without springs. In fact, however, the
.vehicles furnished are quite comfortable,
^ a x'ast station yon pay less than five
cen ^ a kilometer for tho horse, harness
and vehicle, and the boy to take it back,
If you get a Btolkjaerre, which has seats
.for two, you pay about seven cents.
Sixteen kilometers are equal to ten miles.
The amount of baggage allowed is
small, yet sufficient for an ordinary trav
eler'o use. In tho stolkjaerro it goes
under tho seat, where there is plenty of
room. In a cariole it is fastened behind,
and tho skyd, which is tho name of tho
boy who goes along to tako tho vehicle
back, rides or Etands upon it. You can
always carry in a cariolo a small parcel—
on tho floor between your lcgs T -and
fasten something - to tlio dashboard, or
what take* tho place of it. It is astonish¬
ing how enduring the Norwegian horses
aro. They aro tough, small, euro footed,
good natured animals, who will start out
at a trot and keep it up thirty miles with¬
out stopping, going that distance in four
hours. Tho harness is of tho simplest
possiblo mako. There aro no traces, even
when you havo two horses, hut always
shafts, to which tho harness is fastened
by pegs. There is an arch of . wood over
tho horse’s head, through rings in which
tho reins pass, and which is arranged so
as to take much of tho weight from the
collar. Tho reins are rope or twisted
leather.
Tho hotels or inn3 are comfortable,
with no elegance, but always, without
exception, clean, and tho food is fair. In
theso respects Norway has made great
improvements within a few years, and
improvements aro going on In increased
ratio. Tho scenery in riding in Norway,
much of it, i3 exceedingly beautiful. I
can, imagine no more beautiful ride than
that of tho four or five days’ trip from
Bergen to Christiana.—Col. George Bliss

IJocorations of Interior Walls.
A new material for tho decoration of
interior walls wood and ceilings is made . from
chemical fibre, Tho sheet or roll
of chemical wood fibre of the desired
thickness is taken whilo wet or damp,
and any desired raised design or pattern
is produced in high relief by. means of
suitablo embossing rolls or dies, after
which it is allowed to dry, and may then
bo colored or bronzed, if desired, or it
may bo colored in the pulp if preferred.
Chemical fibre te especially adapted as a
material for embossed wall coverings, as
its great elasticity permits it to be very
.deeply embossed without liability • of
breaking as it is stretched, thus enabling
designs to bo successfully produced in
high relief with a smooth and unbroken
‘surface, -while after being stretched in
tho embossing process the strength and
toughness cf the fibres will causo the de¬
effectually sign to permanently retain its form and
resist any pressure to which
'it might ho subjected in the operation of
appiyiug tho material to a wall or ceiling.
