He had climbed up into an apple tree at his uncle's house to ob- tain an" apple which appeared to be ' ripe. He slipped from a limb, which he and his brother were climbing, and fell some distance to `the ground. In putting out his hand to save himself his right hand sustained the weight of his body, causing a fracture of the main bone at the wrist, in a line with the thumb. The separated bone was driven through muscles and tendons directly across the wrist, where it pro- truded about an inch. The little chap jumped up and ran crying into -his uncle's house. His uncle carried him home, and speedily summoned his father and a medical attendant. The wound was found to be a terrible one, and that it would be impossible -to dress it and restore the`fracture with- out an anaesthetic.

V- In conversation with unintelligent `farmer from -Weetern Ontario recently, he stated that some years" ago he had an opportunity of renting his farm and going into some other line of business. Before deciding denitely in thematter he concluded wto experiment a little while and nd out what he was really making out :of his farm. - He accord- ingly kept track of every item that was spent upon the household and what it cost to live, with_.the result that his farm was not rented, and he has had no desire to leave it since. Though o'ered a good rental, and in` addition a stood salary _to' travelin the agricultural ` implement line, the farmer: concluded that he would make more money to remain on the farm. `There is a valuable lesson in this for every farmer in the coontry, A great many who leave the farm to engage in other pursuits never stop to _oompare the cost of livingon the farm and away ` from it. As a sale the -farmer does not 3 miss what he and his family eat, as the bulk of it is grown on the farm ; but if , cash had to be paid out for every item of food as well as clothing, many 9. farmer would be more contented with his lot than he is at the present time. The man living in the city, even on a fair salary, is not as well off as the average farmer if everything is taken -into account. Rent, heat, water, light, food, etc., have all to be paid for in the city, while the farmer can get the larger share of these without any cash outlay. It would be well, therefore, if everyone who contemplates leaving the farm would stop a moment and count the cost.-Farming. Of Interest to Farmers. An action recently brought in the division court at Toronto by a farmer against a grain dealer has been attract- ing a great deal of attention. The farmer, it seems, brought a load . of `wheat to market. The grain dealer opened a bag, examined the contents and offered $1.01 per bushel, which the farmer accepted. After the grain had been delivered the buyer refusedto pay the price agreed upon, claiming " that part of the load was inferior to the bag examined. The farmer thereupon ` brought an action for the price of the ` C I 11 111,- load. The bu'y} defence `was that the `sale had been made by sample and that there was an implied warranty that the contents of all the other bags were -equal to the one inspected. The farmer claimed that the sale was in bulk ; that the purchaser had the same oppor- tunity to inspect all the bags and that as the buyer had not exercised `his right of inspection he could not afterwards complain. The decision of the judge _is most important. He gave judgment -for the farmer, holding that the sale was by bulk and not by sample.-Bul- y `A Wise Mother Says ' That we should keep up a standard of principles, for our children are wstchfnl judges. . 5-, . 10., That vwe should take an interest in our children's amusements, for . mothei- _aV -share in whim pleases them.-is agrent. delight. u 1; 1.- I_-_-_L-_.2l.L AI..- .

Going to Bed Hungry. It is a mistake to suppose that it is never good to eat before sleeping. Many an hour of aleeplessneas may be avoid- ed by nibbling a. bieouito at bedtime. On this subject the New York Ledger All animals, except man, eat before sleeping, and there is no reason why man should form an exceptionto the rule. Fasting during the long interval between _ supper and breakfast, and especially the complete emptiness of the stomach during sleep, add greatly to the amount of emaciation, sleeplessness _ and general weakness so often met with. It is well known that in the body there is a perpetual disintegration of tissue- sleeping or waking ; it is, therefore, natural to believe that the supply of nourishment should be somewhat cou- vtinuoas, especially in those in whom the vitality is lowered. As bodily ex- ercise is suspended during sleep, with wear and tear correspondingly diminish- ed, while digestion, assimilation and nutritive activity continue as usual, the foovlifuruished during this period adds more than is destroyed, and increased weight and improved general vigor is the result. If the weakly, the emaciat- ed, and the sleepless were to take night- ly a light meal of simple, nutritious food before going to bed for a prolonged period, they would be raised to a better standard of health. It has been our experience that after digesting a bowl_ of bread and milk, or a saucer of oat-` `meal, before - going to bed, for a` few months, a surprising increase in weight, I strength and general tone has resulted.
