Bfum with Small Farm—Now Does Kx
tatulv* Mixed Farming.
Within three miles of the town, go
ing eastward. Is the farm of Mr. W.
Creamer, one of the municipality's
largest and most prosperous mixed
termers.- Mr. Creamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on a por
tion of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1,280 acres.
In common with mary others of a
similar period, he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market fa
cilities. In no wise daunted, by ener
gy, industry and Indomitable will *e
Was able to surmount all obstacles
and has achieved an unparalleled suc
cess, and Is known throughout the dis
trict as one of Its pre-eminent farm
ers. His operations extend over 1,280
acres, two sections (the thought alone
of so much land makes the eastern
farmer dizzy) 800 acres of this is
broken and the remainder is excellent
pasture land and wood. This harvest
he took'off Ycrop of 500 acres of wheat
and 200 of other grains. Four hundred
acres are plowed and ready for wheat
next spring. Mr. Creamer is, as has
been stated, a mixed farmer of no
mean proportions, having at the pres
ent time forty horses, sixty head of
cattle and fifty pig3. The most mod
ern farm buildings are found on his
premises, the main building being a
•sbarn flfty-flve feet square on a stone
foundation containing stabling for
sixteen horses and a large number of
cattle. The loft is stored with twenty
nine loads of sheaf oats for feed, and
tons of .hay there is alsr r. cutting
box. Another building of large di
mensions is the granary, in which, aft
er teaming large quantities to market,
he still has stored 3,000 bushels of
wheat. A crushing machine is in the
bullying. There are a number of less
or buildings containing chlctcen house,
pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm
residence is a handsome frame struc
ture of ample proportions in connec
tion with it is a woodshed. The water
supply is unexcelled besides house
supply there is a well In the stables
and a never-failing spring situate in a
bluff, which never freezes. Surround
ed by a thick bluff of poplars, extend
ing in a semi-circle to the west, north
and east, the winter storms are brok
en and accumulation of snow unknown.
Added to his farming operations, Mr.
Creamer conducts a threshing outfit
(or the season. His success is only
one' instance' of what can be accom
plished in western Canada.—Baldur
-(Man.) Gazette, Nov. 16, 1899.
There will be thousands remove to
western Canada this year to engage in
the pursuit of farming.

At a tincfe of crisis in foreign affairs,
the Princess Mary Adelaide. Duchess
of Teck, was seated at dinner next Mr.
Disraeli. She was anxiouB to under
stand the apparent inaction of the gov
ernment, and asked liiin suddenly:
"What are we waiting for?" He took
up the menu,' tflanced at it, and gravely
replied: "Mutton and potatoes,

Sir Augustus ITarris once Fettled the
pitch question in his own off-hand
fashion. A famous prima donna of his
opera company came to him complain
ing that the piano used for vocal re
hearsals was too high, and asking that
it might be lowered. "Certainly," re
plied Druiolanus, with a bow "heve,
Forsyth, have a couple of inches sawn
off the legs of this piano."
In his early manhood Philip D. Ar
mour, the Chicago millionaire, acted
for four days as a brakeman on the
Lake Shore road. A conductor.on the
line, George A. Sheldon, told Armour
that he was too much of a fool to
make a good railroad mnn. Armour
therefore quit and in time got into
more remunerative business. He al
ways remembered Sheldon's outspoken
comment upon his ability, and consid
ered that he had done liiin a great fa
vor by his plain talk.
In the Plymouth congregation, dur
ing Henry Ward Ileecher's pastorate,
there was at one time a woman who
had a harsh voice and a stiff manner
of speaking, and her long-drawn-out,
dull discourses wearied the congrega
tion. At last Mr. lteecher, too, reached
the limit of endurance, and one even
ing, when she sat down, after talking
nearly half an hour, he arose, and in
his deep tones said, slowly: "Never
theless. 1 still believe in wom-en speak
ing in meeting." She spoke no more.
The late Archbishop of York (Dr.
Magee) made an eloquent speech in the
house of lords in opposition to Glad
stone's bill for the disestablishment of
the Irish church. Incidentally he said
that he "could not consider it as con
sistent with the salvation of his im
mortal soul to vote for the bill." A
moment later, one peer who was com
ing into the house inquired of another
who was going out: "Who is on his
feet now?" The outgoing peer, who
stammered, replied: "Archbishop M
M-Magee is t-t-talking against the
d-d-d-disestablisliment of the Irish
church." "What does he say?" "lie
sa vs he'll be d-d-d—d if he vo-tes for the
bill."

The Duties of Parent* to Their
ren "A Wine Son Maketh
Child
Glad
Father bat a Foolish Son la the
Heaviness of His Mother."
[Copyright, 1900, by Louis IClopsch.]
In mis graphic way Solomon sets
forth the idea that the good or evil be
havior of children blesses or blights
the parental heart. I know there are
persons who seem to have no especial
Interest in the welfare of their chil
dren. The father says: "My boy must
take the risks I took in life. If he
turns out well, all right if he turns out
ill, he will have to bear the conse
quences. He has the same chance that
I had. He must take care of himself.
A shepherd might just as well thrust
a lamb into a den of lions and say,
"Little lamb, take care of yourself."
Nearly all the brute creation are kind
enough to look after their young. I
was going through the woods, and
heard a shrill cry in a nest. I climbed
up to the bird's nest, and I found that
the old bird had left the brood to
starve. But that is a very rare occur
rence. Generally a bird will pick your
eyes out rather than surrender her
young to your keeping or your touch.
A lion will rend you if you come too
near the whelps even the barnyard
fowl, with its clumsy foot and heavy
wing, will come at you if you approach
its young too nearly, and God certain
ly intended to have fathers and moth
ers as kind as the brutes.
.Christ comes through all our house
hold today, and he says: "You take
care of the bodies of your children and
the minds of your children. What are
you doing for their immortal souls?" I
read of a ship that foundered. A life
boat was launched. Many of the pas
sengers were in the water. A mother
with one hand beating the waves and
the other hand holding her little child
out toward the lifeboat cried out, "Save
my child!" And that impassioned cry
is the one that finds an echo in every
parental heart in this land today.
"Save my child!" That man out there
says: "I have fought my own way
through life. I have got along tolerably
well. The world has buffeted me, and
I have had many a hard struggle. It
doesn't make much difference what
happens to me, but save my child."
You see, I have a subject of stupendous
import, and I am going, as God may
help me, to show the cause of parental
solicitude and then the alleviations of
that solicitude.
The first cause of parental solicitude,
I think, arises from the imperfection of
parents on their own part. We all
somehow want our children to avoid
our faults. We hope that if we have
any excellences they will copy them,
but the probability Is they will copy
our faults and omit our excellences.
Children are very apt to be echoes of
the parental life. Some one meets a
lad in the back street, finds him smok
ing and says: "Why, I am astonished
at you. What would your father say
if he knew thi^ Where did you get
that cigar^^tfH I picked it up on the
.street.?". .your- father 33v
and your mother say if they knew
this?" "Oh," he replies, "that's noth
ing. My father smokes." There is not
one of us today who would like to have
our children copy all our example. And
that is the cause of solicitude on the
part of all of us. We have so many
faults we do not want them copied
and stereotyped in the lives and char
acters of those who come after us.
The Matter of Dlgcipllue.
Then solicitude arises from ou.* con
scious insufficiency and unwisdom of
discipline. Out of 20 parents there may
be one parent who understands how
thoroughly and skillfully to discipline
perhaps not more than one out of 20.
We, nearly all of us, err on one side or
on the other. Here is a father who
says: "I am going to bring up my chil
dren right. My sons shall know noth
ing but religion, shall see nothing but
religion and hear nothing but reli
gion." They are routed out at 6 o'clock
in the morning to recite the Ten Com
mandments. They are wakened up
from the sofa on Sunday night to re
cite the Westminster catechism. Their
bedroom walls are covered with relig
ious pictures and quotations of Scrip
ture, and when the boy looks for the
day of the month he looks for it in a
religious almanac. If a minister comes
to the house, he is requested to take the
boy aside and tell him what a great
sinner he is. It is religion morning,
noon and night.
Time passes on, and the parents are
waiting for the return of the son at
night. It is 9 o'clock, it is 10 o'clock,
it is ll^o'clock, it is 12 -o'clock, it i3
half-past 12 o'clock. Then they hear
a rattling of the night key, and George
comes in and hastens up stairs lest he
be accosted. His father says, "George,
where have you been?" He says, "1
have been out." Yes, he has been out,
and he has been down, and he has
started on the broad road to ruin for
this life and ruin for the life to come,
and the father says to his wife:
"Mother, the Ten Commandments are
a failure. No use of Westminster cate
chism. I havp done my very best for
that boy. Just see how he has turned
out." Ah, my friend, you have stuffed
that boy with religion. You had no
sympathy with innocent hilarities. You
had no common sense. A man at mid
life said to me: "I haven't much desire
for religion. My father was as good a
man as ever lived, but he jammed re
ligion down my throat when I was a
boy until I got disgusted with It, and
haven't wanted any of it since." That
father erred on one side.
Then the discipline is an entire fail
ure In many households because the
father pulls- one way and the mother
pulls the other way. The father says,
"My son. I told you if I ever found
you guilty of falsehood again I would
chastise you, and I am going to keep
my promise. The mother says: "Don't
*«et him off this time."
J. father says: "I have seen so many
that make mistake by too great sever
ity in the rearing of their children.
Now, I will let my boy do as he pleases.
He Bhall have full swing. Here, my
son, are tickets to the theater and op
era. If you want to play cards, do so.
If »u don't want to play cards, you
need vot play them. Go when you want
and come back when you want to. Have
a good time. Go it!" Give a boy
plenty of money and ask him not what
be mm "with it. and you pay bis way
straight to perdition. But after awhile
the lad thinks he ought to have a still
larger supply. He has been treated,
and he must treat. He must have wine
suppers. There are larger and larger
expenses.
Renalt of tax Discipline.
After awhile one day a messenger
from the bank over the way calls in
and says to the father of the household
of which I am speaking: "The officers
of the bank would like to have you
step over a minute." The father steps
over, and a bank officer says, "Is that
your check?" "No," he says, "that is
not my check. I never make an 'H' in
that way. I never put a curl to the 'Y'
in that way. That Is not my writing
that is not my signature that is a
counterfeit. Send for the police."
"Stop," says the bank officer, "your son
wrote that."
Now the father and mother are wait
ing for the son to come home at night.
It Is 12 o'clock,it is half-past 12 o'clock,
it is 1 o'clock. The son comes through
the hallway. The father says: "My son,
what does all this mean? I gave you
every opportunity. I gave you all the
money you wanted, and here in my old
days I find that you have become a
spendthrift, a libertine and a sot." The
son says: "Now, father, what is the use
of your talking that way? You told
me to go It, and I just took your sug
gestion." And so to strike the medium
between severity and too great leni
ency, to strike the happy medium be
tween the two and to train our children
for God and for heaven is the anxiety
of every intelligent parent.
Another great solicitude is In the fact
that so early is developed childish sin
fulness. Morning glories put out their
bloom In the early part of the day, but
as the hot sun comes on they close up.
While there are other flowers that
blaze their beauty along the Amazon
for a week at a time without closing,
yet the morning glory does its work as
certainly as Victoria regia, so there are
some chilldren that just put forth their
bloom, and they close, and they are
gone. There is something supernatural
about them while they tarry, and there
is an ethereal appearance about them.
There is a wonderful depth to their eye
and they are gone. They are too deli
cate a plant for this world. The Heav
enly Gardener sees them, and he takes
them in.
But for the most part the children
that live sometimes get cross and pick
up bad words in the street or are dis
posed to quarrel with brother or sister
and show that they are wicked. You
see them in the Sabbath school class.
They are so sunshiny and bright you
would think they were always so, but
the mother looking over at them re
members what an awful time she had
to get them ready. Time passes on.
They get considerably older, and the
son comes in from the street from a
pugilistic encounter, bearing on his ap
pearance the marks of defeat, or the
daughter practices some little decep
tion in the household. The mother
says: "I can't always be scolding and
fretting and finding fault, but this must
be stopped." So in many a household
there is the sign of sin, the sign of the
truthfulness of what the Bible says
when it declares: "They go astray as
soon as they be born, speaking lies."
Vlcklnc at Boys,
Some go to work' arid try Co correct
all this, and the boy is picked at and
picked at and picked at. That always
is ruinous. There is more help in one
good thunderstorm than in five days of
cold drizzle. Better the old-fashioned
style of chastisement if that be neces
sary than the-fretting and the scolding
which have destroyed so many.
There is also a cause of great solici
tude sometimes because our young poo
pie are surrounded by so many tempta
tions. A castle may not be taken by a
straightforward siege.but suppose there
be inside the castle an enemy, and in
the night he shoves back the bo'.t and
swings open the door. Our young folks
have foes without, and they have foes
within. Who does not understand it? I
Who is the man here who is not aware
of the fact that the young people of
this day have tremendous temptations?
Some man will come to the young
people and try to persuade them that
purity and honesty and uprightness are
a sign of weakness. Some man will
take a dramatic attitude, and he will
talk to the young man, and he will say:
"You must break away from your
mother's apron strings. You must get
out of that puritanical straitjacket. It
is time you were your own master. You
are verdant. You are green. You are
unsophisticated. Come with me I'll
show you the world. I'll show you life.
Come with me. You need to see the
world. It won't hurt you." After
awhile the young man says: "Well, I
can't afford to be odd. I can't afford to
be peculiar. I can't afford to sacrifice
all my friends. I'll just go and see for
myself." Farewell to innocence, which
once gone never fully comes back. Do
not be under the delusion that because
you repent of sin you get rid forever of
its consequences. I say farewell to in
nocence, which once gone never fully
comes back.
XeceKslty of Early Training.
Begin early with your children. You
stand o.i the banks of a river and you
try to change its course. It has been
rolling now for 100 nliles. You cannot
change it. But just go to the source of
that river, go to where the water just
drips down on the rock. Then with
your knife make a channel this way
and a channel that way, and it will
take it. Come out and stand on the
banks of your child's life when it was
30 or 40 years of age, or even 20, and
trjr to change the course of that life.
It is too late! It is too late! Go furth
er up at the source of life and nearest
to the mother's heart, where the char
acter starts, and try to take it in the
right direction. But, oh, my friend, be
careful to make a line, a distinct line,
between innocent hilarity on the one
hand and vicious proclivity on the
other. Do not think your children are
going to ruin because they make a
racket. All healthy children make a
racket But do not laugh at your
child's sin because it is smart. If you
do, you will cry after awhile because It
is malicious. Remember it is what you
do more than what you say that is go
ing to affect your childreii. Do you
suppose Noah would have got his fam
ily to go Into the ark if he staid out?
No. His sons would have saiu*. 'I am
not going Into the boat. There's some
thing wrong. Father won't go in. If

Garibaldi or a Napoleon I. who leaps

And you stand outside the Christian
life and tell your children to go in.
They will not go. But you dash on
ahead, you enter the kingdom of God,
and they themselves will become good
soldiers of Jesus Christ.
A Personal Appeal.
Are your children safe? I know It is
a stupendous question to ask, but I
must ask it. Are all your children
safe? A mother when the house was
on fire got out the household goods,
many articles of beautiful furniture,
but forgot to ask until too late, "Are
the children safe?" When the ele
ments are melting with fervent heat
and God shall burn the world up and
the cry of "Fire, fire!" shall resound
amid the mountains and the valleys,
will your children be safe?
I wonder if the subject strikes a
chord in the heart of any man who had
Christian parentage, but has not lived
as he ought? God brought you here
this morning to have your memory re
vived. Did you have a Christian an
cestry? "Oh, yes," says one man. "If
there ever was a good woman, my
mother was good." How she watched
you when you were sick! Others
wearied. If she got weary, she never
theless was wakeful, and the medicine
was given at the right time, and when
the pillow was hot she turned it. And,
oh, then when you began to go as
tray, what a grief it was to her heart!
All the scene come3 back. You re
member the chairs, you remember the
table, you remember the doorsill where
you played, you remember the tones of
her voice. She seems calling you now,
not by the formal title with which we
address you, saying, "Mr." this or
"Mr." that, or "Honorable" this or
"Honorable" that. It Is just the first
name, your first name, she calls you
by "this morning. She bids you to a
better life. She says: "Forget not all
the counsel I gave you, my wandering
boy. Turn into paths of righteousness.
I am waiting for you at the gate."
Oh, yes. God brought you here this
morning to have that memory revived,
and I shout upward the tidings. An
gels of God, send forward the news!
King! Ring! The dead is alive again,
and the lost is found!
CHILDREN OF ACTORS.
Most St:iga Folk Don't Want Tliolr
OfT»priii£ to Imitate Them.
It is interesting to observe that few
of the noted people of the stage have
children or relatives on the boards
with their permission. Mrs. Kendal
comes of a family of actors, but she
says firmly no daughter of hers shall
ever be an actress with her consent,
because the work is too hard and the
struggle too great. James A. Heme
has four daughters, and two of them
last season were seen with their father
on the stage, but the situation was dif
ferent, inasmuch as they were in his
company. Sarah Bernhardt put her
son on the stage, but in regard to her
little granddaughter she has other
ideas. It is her wish that the girl
should marry some good man and set
t!e uiJWir
Wife, wAfch she
says is a great enough career for any
one. Eleanora Duse's daughter has
never seen her mother act, and that
mother intends she never shall. She
wants her daughter to be as cultured,
thinking woman, but to keep off the
stage. Lillian Russell's daughter is
about 16 now, and is at school. She
has talent, it is said, but her mother
does not want her to adopt a stage
cureer. May Irwin is proud of her two
cys, but she has no stage ambitions
for them. They arc destined for the
a my and for business. Annie Russell
cppos :d a stage career for her brother
Tom of Fauntleroy fame, and Margaret
Anglin refuses to allow her younger
s:ster to accept several offers made her.
Emma Nevada has a daughter who
bids fair to be a brilliant singer, but
she does not want the child to be
tiained for the stage.—Memphis Sciml

HOME FOR HORSES.
Permanent Asylum for Equloes Tbal
liave Outlived Tliolr Usefulness.
Horses were the sole guests at a re
cent dinner given by a company of
English men and women who jour
neyed from London into the country
for the sole purpose of entertaining
their four-footed dependants. The
scene of the banquet was the Home of
Rest for Horses, Friar's place farm, Ac
ton. It is an Institution presided over
by the Dulce of Portland, and patron
ized by many of the best-known horse
lovers in the United Kingdom. Pri
marily its object is to enable poor peo
ple to obtain a few weeks' rest and
recuperation for their overworked and
underfed beasts of burden, but it also
affords a permanent asylum for old fa
vorites that have outlived the'r use
fulness. The menu included chopped
apples and carrots, and slices of white
and brown bread, mixed with a few
handfuls of loaf sugar. Nothing could
have been more to the taste of the
guests, judging from the eagerness
with which they plunged their noses
into the delicate pot-pourri. There are
forty-three horses at the home—twen
ty-three of them in the "old favorite"
or "pensioner" class—and two don
keys. The most famous inmate is
Boxes, an old charger of the Horse
guards, who survived the battle of
Tel-el-Kebir, and was afterwards
bought by Dorothy Hardy, the artist,
who used him as a model. He has been
In the home six years. Then there is

pillows and blankets, and has estab
lished her home at Acton in order to
be in constant attendance upon him.—

There is more Catarrh in tins section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a jrroat many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
v.lth local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires consti
tutional treatment. J-iall's Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by F. ,J. Chrney

various kalsorainos on the murket, being dur
able and not stuck on the wall with glue.
Alabastine customers should avoid getting
cheap kalsomines under different names, by
insisting on having the goods in packages
properly labeled. They should reject all im
itations* There is nothing "just as good."
ALABASTINE
Invents much sickness, particularly throat
and lung difficulties, attributable to unsanitary
coatings on walls. It has been recommended
a paper published by the Michigan State
Board of Health on account of its sanitary
features which paper strongly condemned
kalsomines. Alabastine can be used on either
plastered walls, wood ceilings, brick or
canvas,
and any one can brush it on. It-admits of radi
cal changes from wall paper decorations, thus
securing at reasonable expense the latest and
best effects. Alabastine is manufactured by the
