ators awake. The Canadians do not
seem to consider their Senate, metaphor­
ically speaking, as “upto snuff.”
Those among them with whom “it is
English, you know,” is the golden rule,
are fond of describing the Senate as the
Canadian House of Lords. It is a sort
of travesty of the House of Lords.
The Senators are .appointed by the
Governor-General in Council (which
means the Government of the day) and
hold their positions for. life. They are
chosen principally from among super­
annuated politicians in the House of
Commons and wealthy merchants, bank
presidents and others whose cash and
influence have been useful at election
times to the party.in power.
_ The Senate has its usher of tbe black

to reproduce, amid incongruous sur­
roundings, the traditional grandeurs of
the opening of Parliament at Westmins­

. Value'of Scientific Farming.
The farmer should be acquainted with
the fundamental ideas of mechanics,
chemistry and physiology, the sciences'
which underlie ail agriculture; and
acquire what is quite as important?—the
habit and metho.1.of science; the habit
of weighing and measuring, actually and
mentally every co stitiient of the matter
he is trying to work out, whether it be
the manure he puts on the; land, the
crops that grow from the. use, the food
of his animals, and the growth of the
animals themselves as determined by
their weights.
His very reasonings on his results will
be,: in a metaphorical sense, the outcome
of the weighing and measuring in his
mind, of the different arguments and
conclusions attention to which makes the
correct observer and the judicious and
successful farmer.

Sweet-Minded Women.
So great is the influence of a sweet-
minded woman on those around het
that it is almost boundless.
It is to her that friends come in
seasons of sorrow and sickness for help
and comfort. One smoothing touoh of
het kindly hands works wonders in the
feverish child; a few words let fall
from her lips in the ear of a sorrowing
sister do much to raise the load of grief
that is bowing its victim down to the
dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out
with the pressure of business and feel­
ing irritable with the world in general,
but when he'enters the cozy sitting­
room, and sees the blaze" of the bright
fire and meets his wife’s smiling face, he
suocumbs in a moment to the soothing
influences, which act as the balm of
Gilead to his wounded spirit.
The rough schoolboy flies in a rage from
the taunts of his comi anions to find
solace in his mother’s smile; the little
one, full Of grief with its own large
trouble, finds a haven of rest in its
mother’s breast; and so one might go
on with instances of the influences that
a sweet-minded woman has in the social
life with which she is connected,
Beauty is aii insig’nificient power when
compared wtth hers.

ably stands at the head.
First, a lamp is bought and fitted for
use, and then filled day after day, and
after a longer or shorter period does not
give as good a light as it used to ¡ then
come complaints to the oilman or
grocer about the quality of the oil, when
■ 11 tie reason and judgment used would
remedy the fault and remove the cause
of complaint.
If persons using a lamp would remem­
ber that the lamp is a machine combin­
ing the furnace and pump, and endeavor
to learn the principle of using oil, mu- h
trouble would be saved; for while no
one expects to use a large machii e
without learning how to work it, any
one can use a lamp.
Now, the wick is the pump to bring
oil from the fount to the blaze, and, as
there is always more or less dust and
din in the oil, the wick soon becomes
clogged up, and cannot pump oil f.-s
enough for a good light; so a complaint
is made, when a new wick would remove
the cause.
Then, as we burn oil out, the lighest
pait burns, leaving the heavy oil, and,
as the lamp is filled day by day, the. oil
gets so heavy that the draught is not
sirong enough to,pump it up, when .the
oil should be all turned out of the lamp
and it refilled with fresh oil.
And then the burn r. after a time.-gets
gummed up. and the even flow of the
oil is disturbed, and causes a smoky,
uneven light which is vexatious. 1 have
often had" burners brought into uij
store condemned, and a new one want, d
when by two minutes’ work they were
n aie as good as new.. When the wi k"
needs cutting, some scrape it off; others
cut it so uneven that it makes a pointing
blaze whi. h so provokes one that he
wants to condemn it.
If a little reason and thought were
used in everyday life, we would soon
find, that lots of our discomforts »would
beveryeasily overcome and banished,
but things go on in a slipshod manner,
year alter year, with no attempt to im­
prove them.
But to resume, the burner is furnished
with a great number of small holes to
provide air, to the end that perfect com­
bustion may take place, and not to col­
lect dust and dirt until they are clogged
up, and a smoky, bad-smelling light is
the result.
Now, if in using kerosene we fill the
lamp up with white oil every day, and
once a week empty back the oil which
is in the lamp, and use a new wick, c t
even and true, every week or once in two
weeks, and are sure to have the lamp
burner clean, and a clear, nicely polished
chimney used,, we will find that the
kerosene lamp is a cheap and great
luxury, and not, as is often the case, a
necessary nuisance, which has to be
used for lack of anything better.
A little care dally in using the lamp
makes all the difference between luxuiy
and nuisance.—[The Analyst.
