Winnipeg is not m great industrial centre; if is were there would probably be as large a superâ€" fuity of artisans as there is of railway men, They had little to encourage them to reâ€" main in the city. _ The land seemed to be their only hope. They havetherefore taken joint action for the purpose of obsaining & reservation on which to take up homeâ€" steads. But even ifthey get the land on the most favorable terms, they will need means to go on itâ€"to buy implements, live stock, seed, and to maintain themselves until their crop comes in. . A fund for this purâ€" pose is being raised, it appears, by some citizens of Winnipeg. _ Many « farmer in good circumstances toâ€"day had to pany found it necessary 10 surtke OM AV payâ€"roil a few weeks ago. Instead of sitâ€" ;ing down and waiting for better times in the department of service to which they were brought up, these men have coacludâ€" ed to turn their backs on that service and look to the land for & living. They had hm nsl on ~f barly lor steady employâ€" of the money necessary to make a start ; but he made his own industry and {rugality | go as far as they would, and kept the loan down to the smallest amount. _ Just now there is a tremendous accumulation . of money going begging for good securities, and some ought to be obtainable for the iaunching of a good class of men on farms of their own. In fact, :t seeme as if both surplus labour and surplus money would have to go back to the soil for employment. ‘ (On the Continent, in the United Y(ingdom, ‘ in the United States, and in Canada, men ‘ have for several years been leaving the tarm to come to the cities, Also, as the values of farm produce, and hence of tarm land, fell,money sought more | aying applications. But now there is an excess of l«bor and an excess of money waiting on city industries, and they will have to muke their way back to the soil. They will probably go together. Where land can be had at & nominal sum, worthy settlers will probably.be abie to obtain money to stock and equip it on & amall scale. Lenders will have little reason to fear that such settiers will wbandon their farms and take to the city again. The homesieader will be more than ever convincâ€" ed that he must perfect his agriculture, to increase the value and the revenue of his farm, as tnat is the safest thing to depend on. â€" It may be suid that farming pays the Unborer no better than manufacturing. of the money necessary to MAR but he made his own industry and go as far as they would, and kep down to the smallest amount. laborer But on and, even if his surplas product commands & low price, he has nor to buy the mogt necessary articles of consumption . . His own bread, meat, fruit, vegetablesâ€"all articles of food, in shortâ€"are yvielded by his fields. The material for his clothing, he can produce on the backs of his own sheep. That is better than starving in a city. And after all is said that can be said about the small returns from farming, the case m ide out is not a very bad one. Farming is improving, and it yields more Fodnco toâ€"day than it ever did before. Moreover, some of the additional produce is the most valumble. The United States cannot continue for many years to be a heavy exporter of wheat. It will soon need its wholecrop for itself. The idle people in our cities may trustfully turn to the soil, if they can find the means to make astart on it. . There are better days before the farmer. the case m ude . out is Farming is improving produce toâ€"day than Moreover, some of the A Simple Experiment by Which Anyone May Discover the Defect. «" Yes," said the doctor, to a correspondâ€" ent, ""the makers of optical instruments are turning out some wonderful appliances nowsdays for discovering imperfections of vision, but [ll tell youof a plan for testing the respective strength of your eyes that is as simple as it is trustworthy. All you need is a stereoscope and & photograph, That arrangement in which the picture holder slides up and down a flat frame, trombone feshion, is the beat sort of ctereoâ€" uc5pe for the purpose, although any will do, and the photograph that will give the best results is & cabinet size view of some locality with people in it. " If the left eye, for example, is quite weak, the figures will move very quickly across the plane of sight‘to the right side, while if there is but a slight defect the movement will be gradual, and so on. . . ©"A queer thing about this experiment is that, simple as it seems, it will bring out defects of vision that have never been susâ€" pected, and another queer will demonstrate the cases eyes are of equal power to exceptional." ""The modus operandi is simplicity itself. Put the photograph in the holder and focus it just epough so that you can see the faces clearly. Then close the left eye and look at the picture intently with your righteye. while you count thirty slowly. Now close the right eye and look at the picture with the left eye for the same time. Then open both eyes and look at the picture without changing the tocus. dos e M s ies * Something queer will happen. The figures on the one side of the picture will seem to move across the view and group themselves with those on the other side, andâ€"â€"this is the point of the experimentâ€"â€" the figures will always move away from the weak eye. Moreover, they move with a very precise relation of speed to the weakâ€" ness of vision. & A Man Who Soid a House and Lot Met With a RKeough Handling. A despatch from Niagara Falls, Ont., says :â€"Ned Flanders, a man about 40 years ol age, was terribly beaten,and claims to have been robbed of $240 while walking along Pierce evenue, on the American side of the river early Saturday morning. Flanders, it is said, had got hold of the money from the sale of a bouse and lot and had been drinking heavily through the day , He had visited some disreputable houses the evening before and been followed, and had just left Zieger‘s saloon, on Pierce avenue, when he was pounced upon by three men and Hit on the head several times, the resuit of which left several ugly scalp wounds.

The Metropolitam Police Protects Nearly Seven Mundred Miles of Territory and Attends to Numerous Details of the Mrnafcipal Life and Governmentâ€"15,â€" "so #omâ€"Origin of the Force. The Metropolitan Police of London pre: serves the peace in an area of 688.31 square miles, or more than 440,000 acres, with a force of nearly 15,000 men. ‘The last census recorded the population. of this territory as 5,505,638. For the protection of the lives and property . of these persons the constables are responsible each along the line of his own post while he is on duty. . In addition to this the Met: ropolitan Police has various other duties, wome of which are not strictly in the line of work of constabulary, but are performed ty it for the general convenience, as, for instance, regulating traffic and rendering asaistance in time of accident. . For their labors in 1893 the members of the force ‘roceived £2,204,022, and the expense of the department for that year was £1,395,â€" 873, or nearly $7,000,000, The police torce at times performs various duties for differâ€" ent departments of the (iovernment, and } the Commissioner, who is the execurive i head of the police, may detail men to perâ€" form police duties at public institutions or individuals ; but all these services are paid for by the department, institution, or person benefiting by them. ‘This force, the Metro politan Police, was founded in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel, whose memory is perpetuated in the vernacular of the streets in the words "hobby"and"peelâ€" er." The Metropolitan district of that day was the scene of so much crime of all sorts, on land and water, that reform in the Ad~â€" ministration of justice and the governance of the criminal classes became imperative. There was no uniformity in the systems of the several parishes. _ Each magistrate had jurisdiction only in his own parish or county and the result was a trading ot judicial favors under which the whole system of justice became rotten and corrupt, to the maleficent advantage of ‘the criminally inclined. â€" First the bench was reformed, and the Metropolitan police magistrates are now all trained lawyers, paid by the State. ‘Then came Peel‘s bill establishing a new police force. Like al! English police forces the Metroâ€" ‘politan Police is a civil and nonâ€"military body, but it is commanded by a military head, who is always a man of rank and experience. _ se y I Eoo it ie o anina" fle is the Commissioner, and is appointâ€" ed by the Queen by warrant and acts under the immediate authority of the Home Secretary. He directs and controls the whole system of police within the Metroâ€" politan Police district. . He is a Justice of the Peace for London and the adjacent counties ; but his functions as a Justice of the Peace are specially restricted to the preservation of the perce, the prevention of crimes, the detection and committal of offenders, and the carrying into execution of the purposes of the Metropolitan Police acts. &o contines himself in practice to the administrative control of the police force, and the prevention and detection of crime, by hsvius persons arrested or summoned to be deait with by the magâ€" istrates. The Commissioner makes orders, with the approbation of the Home Secretary, for the regulation and good government of the police force. These are comprised in the Commissioner‘s regulations, general "" s mbbinhfeit lA orders, and police orders, the latter usualâ€" ly uppearing daily. The Commissioner nakes an annual report to the Home Secâ€" retary which is laid before Parliament, All members of the force are instructed that the primary object of the police is the prevention of crime, and the next is the detection and â€" punishment of offenders when crime has beea committed. The protection of life and property, the presâ€" ervation of public tranquility, and the absence of crime are regarded as the proâ€" per evidence of the measure of success attained. | _ 1 F & E2 "a ‘The constables are recruited from all trades and employments,with the exception of the members of the Thames Division, who are recruited from sailors alone, and Yatro] the river in boatsand steam Iaunches. t is among the conditions of their service that constables should give their whole time, and not carry on any trade ; that they should serve and reside wherever «ppointed, and wear the police uniform when on duty. When they first join the fource constables are employed on station duty and in attending the police court durâ€" ing the hearing of charges and summonses. They are instructed daily by a Superinâ€" tendent in the regulations of the force and examined from time to time. . At the end of the first fortnight the Superintendent reports to the Commissioner, with regard to each constable, whether he is likely . to become an efficient member of the force, During the first six months after joining the men areassembled and questioned by the Inspectors as to their knowledge of the police instruction book.

The reâ€" serves consist of about ten per cent of the withorized strength of each division. The constables and sergeants are armed with truncheons, but are allowed to use them only in extreme cases, when they are violently attacked. Revolvers are also issued to men employed on night duty, but only at their special request, and when in the opinion of the officer in charge of their station they can be trusted to use them with discretion. No policeman has any right to use & revolver except in circumsâ€" tances which would jnstify a private person in doing so, that is to say, in selfâ€" defence only, when attacked by a person with firearms or some other deadly weapon. All constables and sergeants are provided with whistles with which they summon assistance or give alarm. woRk OF THE DETECTIVES. The Criminal Investigation Department, under an Assistant Commissioner, consists of the Chief Constable, a Superintendent, and all other ranks of the force. As a rule the members of this department go about in plain clothes, Volunteers for this deâ€" partment are from time to time called for Ly police orders. Appointments are proâ€" bationary only, for a period of three or six months, and men who do hot show fitpeas for the work return to the ordinary daties .of the force. Members of the deâ€" tictive force are attached to each division for the iocal investigation of. crime, and promotion among, them in the lower ranks is, except for -fihl reasons, confined to each division; but a large and importâ€" We l oo .‘- ) TPRAISTNG OF THE POLICE, THLE LONT PoNSTABLES WEAPONS BOBB Y € ant part of thework of criminal investignâ€" tion is preformed by a special staff attached to the chief office, and it is obviously necessary that many of the men employed in this should be chosen because of their personal qualifications. . n Lo ncok nnfray~>s e arein en on ns kentn â€" It is the duty of the detectives to obtain knowledge of the criminal population and their habits. Another part of their duty consists in watching the ports, both in England and abroad, to obtain information of the movements of dangerous characters coming to England, and criminals attemptâ€" ing to fly the country. PRIVILECES OF RETIREMENT Every member of the force is entitled after twentyâ€"five years of approved service to retire and receive an ordinary pension for lite. After fifteen years‘ service he is entitled to an ordinary pension if he is in« capacitated, but the pension may be reducâ€" ed by an amount not axceeding oneâ€"half if the incapacity is brought about or contribâ€" uted to by his own fault or vicious habits, If incapacitated before completing fiftoen years‘ service, he may receive a gratuity not exceeding one month‘s pay for every year of service. At any time if a member of the force is incapacitated by injuries reâ€" ceived in the discharge of his duty without any fault of his own, he is entitled to a special pension, the amount of which is 1rcgulnu:d by law. M s ic w / anedt‘ s Pengions and gratuities are calculated on the annual pay at the date of retirement but if in the three years before retirement a man has been in more than one rank, the average pay for the three years is taken. The scale of ordinary pensions begins at fifteenâ€"fiftieths of the annnal pay, which is the persion payable after tifteen years‘ service : and rises gradually to a maximum of twoâ€"thirds, which is a&uined after iwentyâ€"six yeara‘ service. Pensions may be foricited or reduced for misconduct, and may be temporarily suspended in certain cases for other causes, . Pensions, allowancâ€" es,and gratuities are payable to the widows aud children of members of the force,under a variety of circumstances, Napoleons Trouble with His Brothers and Sisters. Louis in Holland was never a king to Napoleon‘s mind. He especially disliked his quarrels with his wife. . The two young people had been married for state reasont and were very unhappy. In 1807 Napoleon wrote Louis, apropos of his demestic relations, a letter which is a good example of mcores of others he sent to one and another of his kings and princes about their private affairs. «* You govern that country too much like a Capuchin, The goodress of a king should. be full of inajesty. . . .

While Josephine adapted herself with grace and tact to her great position, the Bonaâ€" parte sisters, egpecially Pauline, were conâ€" stantly irritating somebody by their vanity and jealousy. The following letter to Pauline shows how little Napoleon spared them when their performances came to his ears : "Madame and Dear Sister: I have learned with pain that you have not the good sense to conform to the manners and customs of the city of Rome ; that you show contempt for the inhabitants, and that your eyes are unceasingly turned toâ€" wards Paris. â€" Although occupied with vast affairs, I nevertheles« desire to make known my wishes, and I hope that you wiil conâ€" form to them. 4 . s\ "Love your husband and his family, be amiable, accustom yourself to the usages of Rome, and put this in your head : that T# you follow bad advice you will no longer be wble to count upon me. â€" You may be sure that you will find no support in Paris, and that I shall never reseive you without your husband. â€" If you quarrel with him, it will be your fault, and France will be closed to you, â€" You will sacrifice your happiness and my esteem McClure‘s Magazine by adopting the suicidal method of resortâ€" ing to violence, have brought nothing but trouble upon themselves and those who mided them. _ The history of the Brooklyn strike is similar to that of many other great strikes in the United States and elseâ€" where. â€" The men suddenly threw up their places, leaving the companies without any means of running the cars, as they had been given no opportunity of hiring new men.

For bruises, the immediate application of cold water, or some evaporat> ing lotionâ€"such . as camphor or weak tincture of arnicaâ€"is the best treatment for alleviating suffering and hastening the wbsorption of blood. When a sprain occurs, lose no time in attending to it, however trivial it may appear, . Ascertain whether there has been a fracture or dislocation. . If so, send for a physician as soon as possible and keep perfectly quiet until he arrives. | If there is mo fracture or displacement of bones, but only excessive swelling about the joint, bathe the injured member in as hot water as possible. Bathe for fifteen to thirty minâ€" utes, renewing the water occasionally and mpplying with a sponge. Then wrap the injured member in strips of fl«anel saturatâ€" ed with hot water and cover with dry cloths. Do not use the sprained member until reâ€" covered. a sprain. For bleedin% from the nose,hold a sponge saturated with cold water to nostrils and mape of the neck. In case this does not succeed the blceding can be stopped by vigorous action of the jaws. If a child, a wad of paper may be placed in the mouth, and the child instructed to chew hard. It is the motion of the jaws that stops the flow of blood. 3 To ease rheumatic pains, boil a few poâ€" tatoes and use the hot water in which they were boiled, Dip some cloths in, wring out, and apply as hot as possible. .A small vegetable press, such as are retailed for twentyâ€"five cents, is excellent to wring out hot cloths, It saves time and scalded hands. f + In case of a cut or jagged wound, smoke the wound with burned flannel on which bas been placed a small quantity of sugar. Sprinkle a little sulphur over the wound and tie up with bandages and it wili heal immediately.â€" A very dangerous wound, made by a sewing machine needle, where the needle fragments were found to have bueh beu« almost double against the bone, was cured in this mauner. The danger of lockjaw and the extreme pain were ertirely removed by holding the injured finger and Coe. nnainlienityadioncns arm over the over the coals The following is recommended as a cure for pneamonia :â€"Take six to eight onions, according to size, and chop fine; put into a large spider over a hot fire and add about the same quantity of rye meal and vineâ€" 1 . HHC: d Is: We 7 the same quantity of rye meal and vineâ€" gar enough to torm a thick paste, In the meantime stir it thoroughly, then let it simmer five to ten minutes. Then put it in a cotton bag made large enough to cover the lungs. . Apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear, . When this gets cool apply another and thus continue, reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the paâ€" tient will be out of danger. Usually vhree or four applications will be sufficient, but continue until the perspiration starts from the chest. A standard medical authority says that the first thing to do for a child in cases of croup is to put his feet into as hot mustard water as he can bear, and be sure that the room is very warm. »If possible, put.him into a hct bath, and then quickly drying him, put him in bed between blankets. Even before putting him in bed give him syrup of ipecac in teaspoonful doses until he vomits. â€" For externalapplications take two tablespoonfuls of turpentine, and four tablespoonfuls of goose oil, or sweet oil, or lard oil, mix well, and rub thoroughly on the outside of the throat. Saturate a flanâ€" mel and lay it over the chest and throat.. Hot bricks, or bottles filled with hot water, should be placed at the child‘s feet and at the sides of his body to induce perspiration. Keep him sarefully covered, After the vomiting the bowels must be kept open with syrup of squills. The best drink for the ‘chili is slipperyâ€"clm water.
