pay so much for the land that the capitalist cannot afford to own it Jor leasing,
or to “Pun” it at arm's length without pauper labor. Remuneration in the form
of independent homes for families is not sacured by the absent landlord and by

An Unprofitable Gift.
Faifners, even those not otherwise
noted/ for liberality, are usually very
willing to give a “lift” in their wagons
to peflestrians, unless the person's ap-
pearance is decidedly unprepossessing,
and provided, of course, the request is
made in proper form.
A farmer, returning from town with
an empty produce wagon, overtook a
young man plodding along with the
discouraged air of a city man unusued
to dirt roads. ‘
“Hullo, Jersey!” eried the stranger,
Lriskly, “Can a man get a lift to Vine-
land?”
“I don’t see why he can’t,” respond-
ed the farmer, in a non-committal way.
“Then I'll take a ride,” said the
stranger, vaulting into the wagon, and
making himself comfortable. °
After two or three miles had been
traversed, the stranger paused in his
inconsequential talk long enough te
observe,—
“It's quite a distance to Vineland?”
“Yes, it is a distance,” admitted the
farmer.
Another mile was passed, and then
the stranger inquired, —
“About how far is it to Vineland?”
“Well, replied the farmer, medita-
tively, “keeping’ straight ahead, the
way we're goin’ now, it's about twenty-
five thousand miles; but if you'll get
out and hoof it back it ain't more’'n six
or seven.” :
The stranger got out and “hoofed” it
back.
A Notable Owl.
The Zoological Gardens have invar-
iably possessed specimens of the owl
family in superabundance, but a new
arrival is of an unusual character. An
owl from Australia, which has th+ _ech-
nical name of Hieracoglaux connivens |
and the pseudo-vernacular name of the |
“winking owl,” is quite a novelty to the
collection. Blinking owls are well
known; winking owls open a new chap-
ter; but after all, if it has to connive,
as the Latin name seems to urge, it
must wink rather than blink. On the |
same day there arrived a barn-owl from |
foreign parts. This bird has the widest
range over the globe of any bird, or, at |
any rate, it is not exceeded by any. |
There are barn-owls even in the remote
Galapagos. They “snore” and “hiss,”
not merely from China to Peru, but|
throughout the habitable globe, save |
Sweden and New Zealand.

Catarrk of any organ, if ailewsd to pro-
gress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh
without nervousness is very rare, but pel-
vic catarrh snd mervensness go hand in
hand.

It is safe to say that pure water may |
be drunk at any time and with hardly |
any limitations save such as might ap- |
peal to any one. Water is universally
man’s greatest and safest drink and, |
rightly used, would in itself largely help |
to extend his life well towards the cen- |
tury mark. Food tastes better and is
more agreeably relished by the water
drinker than by those who drink wine |
at table. Strong liquors taken at all
times confer no useful assistance in
passing the dangers of life, and in self-
interest it would be nearer to safety to
let nature’s provision for drink have]
full credit, as being the best, and accept |
no substitute. A good drink for man
is pure water, and the ordinary drink-
ing water of a country is or should be
always appreciated by the dweller in
that country.
