As he did ` not return at the usual time, Mr. Gal- braith started out to seek him. Meet-g , ing Thin, the loss of the purse was told, ` and ,Mr. Galbraith for some hours un- 1 successfully searched for the boy-, whilst Thin walked to Gravenhurst to inform Constable Sloan of his loss, and the two reached the town but could nd no tidings of him. The nightwatchman, I-Iayton, was told to lock out for him but no boy was seen through the night. On Monday morning Mr. Galbraith, with the boy s father, came into town, and by chance heard that a lad about the age of Gouge was seen getting on the 5 a.m. Toronto train. The night clerk of the station, who issued the tickets for -that train, had retired to bed, but on being roused up` conrmed the selling of a ticket to Toronto to a boy answering the description of Gouge, who no doubt intended . to take in To- ronto and the exhibition, unless the police, who have been -communicated with, should catch him. ' The lad has been a good boy,'honest, and worked Increase Wealth by Saving it. Mr. T. B. Terry writes a common- sense article for the Practical Farmer upon the subject of housing implements, from which we offer a cap to many of our readers who can wear it. The ob- servation is made that if implements . and tools were left out during the win- ter or even a part of the `time in sum- mer, when not in` actual use, `they will soon have to be replaced. It is a sad fact that most farmers who leave ma- chinety and tools outdoors are hardly able to stand the loss, while they. are quite forgetting that it is this loss, among others, that is keeping them poor. `Mr; Terry instances a` case of a wooden-framed barrow which, although not as old `as one of his own, which is quite sound, was so rotten that it was liable to give out [at any time,- simply because it had not beenihoused, while: Mr. Terry's had never been al- lowed out except during the season in which it was in use.

On the same farm was noticedanum- her of more costly tools, not more than from three to five years old. that were so rusted, rotted and out of shape, as to be of little value. It is not wise to buy new `and improved tools and im- plements and not` provide a place of shelter. for them. Mr. Terry refers to his manure spreader, which he bought 16 years ago and which is practically` as good as ever ;_ and the secret is. that it has not beenallowed to stand out of doors an hour when not in actual use; His wagon, too, althcugh 28 years old, wheels and running `gear almost p as hitched outside, it is given V an _ occasion- Il.,coa"tI.;6f diagram. too, is `re- ferred aged, be A "_ hand. oiled-pidpwhieneier good as ever; '_ `never being nli`-`_` I` I.

According to our observation A the most men who leave tools and implements standing out ex- posed to the. elements are equally care.- lessabout other things.` It is not an Yesore" to them to see a few boards off the barn, a door as its hinges,ror a gate having to be lifted open and shut, and falling apart. Often, too, the need of repairing a broken panel in the fence does not impress itself until the stbck has made two or three destruc- tive excursions over a grain eld, We believe the proverbial stitch in; time has not a more tting application than in such cases as we have cited, and which are far too frequent 3 and in nine cases out of ten the careless one will excuse himself on the ground that he has not time to attend to these little things. It is when a man allows his business to get control of himiin this way that he commences to fall behind, and before. he is quite aware of it the foundation of his business has com- menced to crumble, his hope has lost . its A` buoyancy, and failure follows. ` Failure is a gloomy gulf, and the more a we dread it and keep away from it the better we will conduct "our business, ? by adding to our wealth by prevent- ing it slipping from our grasp in pre- a , mature decay. ` Permanent Stairs in Barns. .It is very strange how some farmers, year in and year out, will climb up in the `barn or hay mow to put in and take out hay, straw and other fodder without the aid of a ladder or stairs, but climb from a manger, box or bar- rel, grasp a brace, stringer, or other projecting portion of structure, and by an extra effprt swing or throw the body upward, and perform similar gymnastic ieatscto again reach the oor. This is most often done in midwinter when the hands are encumbered with heavy mit- tens. These operators can thank their stars that they do not fall, endangering life and limb. By the expenditure of a few dollars and a day s time an easy and safe way of access could be made to any of these lofts, and one could actually save enough time` between the sensible and the careless way in a year s time to cover all the expense of construction. It may. possibly make a man more mus- ocular to twist about and hang by one hand toreaah the hay mow, but the 'more.conside1-ate prefer the easier plan. In wagon houses in which horses are stabled, stairs should, by all means, be used to `reach, the loft, as theniwomen and children can often feed thehorses with perfect safety. _ Skeleton stairs can be erected with simply the steps and sides, but they should be made strong and rm.-Farming.

In many other ways the pure air necessary ' to the country home may be contamin- ated- and made injurious to the health _; and farmers should see that everything in and around the house is, conducive to maintaining pure air in the home.
