For no other author has given his life's work to the constant study of the human heart,in all its attitudes, with the loving interest, and tender sympathy, Which inspire the verses of this great lover of his fellow men. Earnest and sincere, always, the poet excells in the simple, natural, and forcible expreSsion and in the gently emotional qualities of his style. His poems infusetiie wounded spirit yielding to his influence, with the hope and faith, which soothe all sorrows. To the heart oppressed by woe he addresses his “Resignation,” the most touching of all gems of sympathy. “We see but dimly through the mists and vapors, Amid these earthly dumps; What seem to us but sad funeral tapers May be heaven’s distant lamps.” He would console the bereaved with “The Reaper and the Flowers.” "Oh not in cruelty, not in wrath, The reaper came that day; ’Twas an angel visited the green And took the flowers away.” The sufferer of unrequited love turns to “Endymion.” “O weary hearts! 0 slumbering eyes I O drooping souls, whose destines Are fraught with fear and pain, Ye shall be loved again.

Longfellow is now distinguished as the Poet of the Heart, and to this title, the noble and tender feeling for suffering hu- manity, as expressed in every line of his Verse, prove him to have a great and lust. ing claim. His most sincere praise re- mains in the responsive admiration and love with which his readers cherish the memory of the great author u hose yvords have wakened their free nature on the weak and friendless sons of men. We admire Longfellow for the beauty and the picturesqueness of his expression, ._ for ihe rhythmiCol, exquisite musia, which predominates throughout, for the pathos ‘ which he develops with that unerring skill, no where better displayed, than in the if: closing lines of “Evangeline," when the g faithful maiden is restored at last to her long-lost lover just as his life expires. “All was ended now, the hope, and the ' fear, and the longing, All the aching of heart, the restless, unsatisfied longing, All the dull, deep pain and constant an- guish of patience, Mean new homes, and new homes call for new Furniture. And as she pressed once more the lifeless head to her bosom, WWW Meekly she bowed her own. and murmur- ed : “Father, I thank Thee."

Something for Our Farmers’ Institutes ’ 1’ to Take Up." This is a reading age, and everywhere people are clamoring for somethinsg fresh to read. The outcome of this in- creased desire for brain food has been the establishment of free libraries in our cities and larger towns. for the purpose of supplying the residents of these places with reading matter. This plan is all right in so far as the cities and towns are concerned, but up to the present time no very feasible plan has been devised for supplying the farmer and his family with a reading material. And who needs it more than be, separated as he is from his But as yet done, in this country at least, to supply the agriculturist and his family with good, up-to-date reading matter such as a resident of a city or town has at his very door. In some of the United States, says .. Farming, there has been a movement of late in the way of remedying this matter that promises to develop into something tangible and practical. As yet the move- ment is in a somewhat experimental stage, but sufficient has been learned to show that the plan is feasible and of such a nature as would fill a long-felt want in rural districts. This movement is_along the line of having free travelling librar- ies, and the plan as carried 0min the States of New York, Michigan and Iowa. and to some extent in Minnesota, though not by State Government, is to have a number of small libraries prepared under State control and at the expense of the State, which may be loaned to the vari- ous country districts making application for them. When one of these libraries has been read through by the people in one Locality it is then passed on to some other section and another library supplied in its place. In this way the people in any locality may have at their disposal during the course of a year practically a library of many thousands of volumes. As an example of what can be done in this line, the women of Minneapolis last winter gave about 1,000 volumes to be used for the benefit of the people living in a county near that city. These were divided into groups of 50 volumes each and each group packed into a neat travel- ling'case. Any community Was free to make application. and soon a number of those small libraries were out among the people, and everyone in that county had practically access to the Whole 1,000 volumes. . But, to come nearer home, the ques- tion is whether a plan is workable in this country. We think it. is. If free txfavelling libraries can be successfully operated in theStatcs We have mentioned there is nothing to prevent their being carried on here, especially in this province. This would no a good lino of work for our farmers‘ institutes to. take up, especially those having large surplus funds secured from excursions. With a few hundred dollars. and supplemented, if need be. by Government assistance, a respectable library might be got tOgether that would prove of great benefit to the members if arranged as we have describ- ed. Members could be selected in the different localities to take charge of the smaller libraries and return them when finished to the secretary and secure another one in its place. There seems to us to be something of value in this plan, and we would like to see it worked out by some enterprising institute. __________â€".â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"- The M endow 1.311;.

Nature had already anticipated in dispensing with the seeds and depending upon other methods of propagation. The banana, for instance, is a seedless fruit which nature has ap- parently changed“ through some peculiar process. Rudimentary seeds are. to be found in the fruit to-day. By slicing the banana down lengthwise. rows of the rudimentary seeds will be exposed 51:0 view. Undoubtedly at one time, in its primitive wild state, the banana propa- gated itself by means of seeds, but the use of suckers for this purpose gradually seeds of less and less value. made the Followin out the law of nature, the seeds, bec ling useless organs, degener- ated. Occasionally a banana is found that does propagate itself by means of its seeds, or at'least perfect seeds are pro- duced in the fruit which can germinate. If for any other reason the suckers of this plant should fail to do the work intrust- ed to them, it is not unlikely that nature would reinstate the seed organs and develop them gradually to their early responsible position. .. and cauliflower are “The pineapple _ two other common illustrations of how nature occasionally dispenses with seeds. The pineapple is almost seedless, and. like the banana, its propagation is entire- ly by suckers. The seeds are in a low, rudimentary condition, but at one time . they must have had their function to per- form in life, and they are capable, under stress of circumstances, to renew their vitality. The type would not be exter- min‘atcd if the suckers should fail to perâ€" pctuate the plants. All the resources of the plants would go to the assistance of the seeds to develop and, vitalize them Once more. This has been found possible by experiment. By selecting the pine- apple, with the most promising .sreds, and propagating tllcm by the usual pro ccss. the seeds have gradually been devel- oped until they are able to reproduce their kind. “The eggplant is more interesting than either the banana or pineapple. More We have a fruit which is only occasionally seedless. That the souls are realfy imma- terial to the Welfare of the plant is evi- d‘enced by the fact that perfect fruits are often developed whether the blossoms are fertilized or not. In the hands of the bdrticulturists it would be an easy mat- ter to produce eggplants that would have only the slightest trace of rudimentary seed organs. or. vice vvrsa. it wpnld be possible to develop a elites of fruits that would be supplied with an abundance of large. full-grown seeds. “Nature‘s hints. thus supplied in, a few isolated cases, have been the opportuni- ties of man to raise a class of seedless fruits. Sometimes it is merely a freak of nature that happens only once or twice in a generation, and if the opportunity is missed the loss is rout. 'l‘o"this origin we owe our fine Cali ornia navel orange. which is generally a seedless fruit, al- though occasionally a few small coeds are to be found in it. The navel orange was an effgrt of nature to produce twins, but one of the twins aborted, merely surviv- ing as a protuberance in the blossom and of the orange. a little kernel enveloped in the skin, which closely resembled the human navel is appearance. In the effort to produce a monstrosity the seeds were apparently neglected. By taking the scions of this fruit tree and grafting them on seedling stock we have practic~ ally established a seedless orang It is. furthermore, remarkable boca so of its excellent quality and size. Usually the fruiks of nature produce fruits flint are not very good. Thus quite a number of apple trees have been produced. thr- fruit of which is mainly or quite scetil'es's. 'l‘hcir origin has been largely the same as that of the navel orange. They are generally abnormalities. and they are often called ‘bloomless.’ because the blossoms have no petals and sometimes lack stunfcns. 'l‘heir appearance and quality are not such as to recommend them to the general con- . sumer.
