—Some idea of the enormous quantity of corp raised in the United States may be gathered from the fact that 69,000,000 bu-hels have been exported since the first of January. Besides what is exported to Canada the balance is shipped to Europ. Now that corn comes into Canada free for grindingand stock teeding purposes, the market should be materially increased.

—Mail and Empire: A man who has a little back yard garden in which to work at thix season of the year is ove of the for:nvates of fate. Man is naturally ap agricuiturist, and the old instinct for working in the soil reasserts itself witb tbe return of every spring. I[faman has a liule soil to work ip, no matter if it is no more than twenty feet equare, it serves to eatiefy, to some degree at least, the demand of his nature. These are happy days tur the back vard farmers.

Montreal Gazette: Mr Fielding’s coal oil achievement is the greatest of them all. For twenty years, the Liberale have told us, the farmers have groaned under the iniquitious coal oil duty. Mr. Fielding reduced ita cent a gallon. The farmer 1s relieved. Never did greater effect follow smaller cause.

Montreal Gazette: The men who work ju the rice mills must have been very offensive partisans during the electiou. The increase of the duty on their :aw material would not have been the rate of 150 per cent., while that on finished products was unchanged, had they been friends of the powers that be.

Montreal Star: Mr. Perry is an old timer, andthe Tignish breakwater will again have a friend at court. — It may be, of course, thatas the crossing of the House has destroyed Mr. Mc- Mullen’s taste for the music of the rustliug leaves of the Anditor General’s re- port. so Mr, Perry, seated as a supporter of the Government, will no longer care for the beating of the surf onthe gray old breakwater of Tignish. But power spoiis not all men, and the House may again listen tothe woes of the seawall of Mr. Perry’s constituency.

A COYOTE PARTNERSHIP, |

Yt Means Death to the Antelope and @ Meal For the Wolves,

The prong horned antelope is the swift- est animal on the plains, and yet the coy- otes catch a good many of them just by running them down. This sounds like a paradox, yet it is quite true and is ex- plained by the cunning of the wolves and the habits of the antelope.

A single coyote that undertook to run down a single antelope would get tired and

- hungry before he accomplished much, but

when two or three coyotes are together it is quite a different thing. The coyotes do not all run after the antelope together; they take turns, and while one runs the thers rest, and so af last they tire the an- telope out.

if when it was started the antelope ran straight away, it would of course leave all the wolves bchind, those that were resting even more than the one that was chasing it, but the antelope does not run straight, away. Instead it runs in large circles, and this enallcs the wolves to take turns when chasing it.

When three or four prairie wolves dc- cide that they want antclope meat for breakfast, one of them creeps as close 4s possible to the one they have selected and then makes a rush for it, running as fast as he possibly can so as to push the ante- lope to his best speed and to tire it out. Meantime his companions spread out on either side of the runner and get upon lit- tle hills or knolls so as to keep the chase in sight. They trot from point to point, and pretty soon, when the anielope turns and begins to work back toward one of them, this one tries to get as nearly as pos- sible in its path, and as it flies by the wolf dashes out at it and runs after it at the top of its speed, while the one that had keen chasing the antelope stops running and trots off to some nearby hill, where, while the water drips off his lolling tongue, he watches the race and gets his breath again. After a little the antelope passes near another coyote, which in turn takes up the pursuit. Ana so the chase is kept up until the poor antelope is exhausted, when it is overtaken and pulled down by one or more of the hungry brutes. Of course the coyotes do not catth every ante- lope they start. Sometimes the game runs such a course that it does not pass near any of the waiting wolves, and only the one that starts it has any running to do. In such a case the pursuit is at once aban- concd. Sometimes the antelope isso stout und strong that it tires out all its pursu- ers.

It is a common thing for a coyote to chase an old doe, with her kids, just after the little ones have begun to run about. At that time they are very swift for short Gistances, but have not the strength to stand a long chase. In such a case a moth- er will oiten stay behind her young and will try to fight off the coyote, butting him with her head and striking him with her fore feet. He pays little attention to her, except to snap at her, and keeps on after the kids. Several times I have scen a mother antelope lead her little ones into the midst of a bed of cactus, where the wolf could not go without getting his {cet full of thorns. Mf the bed is small, the wolf will make ferocious dashes up to its border, trying to frighten the little ones so that they will run out on the other side and he can start atser them again, but usually the mother hzs no trouble in hold- ing them.—George Bird Grinnell in Forest and Stream.

Attention to the Feet.

It is utterly impossible to get well or keep well unless the feet are kept dry and warm all the time. If they are for the most part cold, there is cough, or sore throat, or hoarseness, orsick headache, or some other annoyance.

If cold and dry, the fcet should be soaked in hot water for ten minutes every night, and when wiped and dried rub into them well 10 or 15 drops of sweet oil. Do this paticnily with the hands, rubbing the oil into the soles of the feet particularly. On getting up in the morning dip beth feet at once into water as eold as the air in the room, half ankle deep, for a minute in sumunucr, half a minute or less in winter, rubbing one foot with the other, then wipe dry, and if convenient hold them to the fire, rubbing them with the hands until perfectly dry and warm in every part. If the fect are damp and cold, attend only toe the morning washings, but always at night remove the stockings and hold the feet to the fire, rubbing them with the hands for 15 minutes, and get immediately into bed.

Under any circumstances, as often ag the feet are cold enough to attract atten- tion, draw off the stockings and hold them to the fire. If the feet are much inclined to dampness, put on a pair of dry stockings. Some persons’ feet are more comfortable even in winter in cotton, others in woolen stackings. Each must be guided by his own feelings. Sometimes two pairs of thin stockings keep the feet warmer than one pair which is thicker than both. The thin pair may be of the same or of different materials, and that which is best next the feet should be determined by the feelings of the person.

Persons who walk a great deal during the day should on coming home for the night remove their shoes and stockings, hold the feet to the fire until perfectly dry, put on adry pair of stockings and wear different shoes for the remainder of the evening. ‘To change to slippers is danger- ous, @s one is likely to catch cold.—New York Ledger.

THACKERAY’S BIRTHPLACE,

Failure of Efforts to Find the Exact Houses In India,

Sir Williarn Hunter’s book on ‘‘The Thackerays In India’’ calls out in The Atheneum from W. F. Prideau an inter- esting letter relative to the house in which the novelist was born and his ineffectual efforts to find it:

‘‘The publication of Sir William Hunt- er’s delightful book reminds me that about ten years ago, being then resident in Cal- cutta, I made a vigorous effort to discover the house which had been honored by the birth of the greatest writer who has shed luster on the Anglo-Indian body, in view toa commemorative tablet being placed upon the building by public subscription. In this effort I was warmly seconded by the late Mr. Robert Knight, the editor of The Statesman, who in the issue of that paper for Sept. 2, 1887, devoted a leader to the subject, and by sevcral other friends.

‘Notwithstanding onr exertions we failed to discover the house in question, the records neither of the secretariat nor of the municipality affording any clew. I ascertained that the assessment papers of the house tax did not extend further back than 1836, while the first Calcutta daily, the Calcutta Journal, was not established dy J. Silk Buckingham till four years aft- er Richmond Thackeray’s death. My re- searches, however, enabled me to collect some interesting information in connection with the novelist and his father, and among my notes I find an exact record of the dates on which Richmond Thackeray entered on his various public employments.

‘Thackeray was christened in St. John’s church, the old eathedral, and I give below a copy of the baptisinal register, which has not, I think, hitherto appeared in print:

***Date of Baptisms.—1812, January 3d.

***Name and Age of the Baptized.—N. B. 8S. Son, D. Daughter.—William Make- peace, born 18th July, 1811. S.

‘**Name and Situation of Parents.— Richmond Thackeray, Esqr., of the Civil Service, and Anne his wife.

‘**By Whom and Where Baptized.—The Revd. J. Ward, D. D.’

“Seeing that Richmond Thackeray ap- parently held the appointment of judge of Midnapore at the date of his son’s birth, and that a period of nearly six months elapsed between that date and the baptism, we are almost led to the conclusion that the boy was born not at Calcutta, but at Midnapore, and that his baptism was de- ferred until his father received his Alipore appointment. Tradition has, however, so persistently declared that the birth took place in Calcutta that I do not feel ven- turesome enough to dispute it. It is quite possible that the records do not give the date on which the father’s deputation to Midnapore ended.’’
