Blue, Homier, Ohio. kllBN lookinsr onlv on the surface farming seems to some people to be a degrading occupation. One reason for this is they imagine there is much more drudgery in agriculture than in other voca rtions.

Sometimes when we have a poor crop, lose a horse, have sickness or other calamities we are inclined to think everything on the farm is uncertain, and that the regular salary of the man in town is an advantage.

The College Professor Wot by His Income By Grant Shower man UE community in which the Professor lived did not Judge him according to his salary, nor indeed did they take the trouble to inquire what is was; but Ignorantly, though reasonably, classed him among the rich with whom he kept company. From the tailor and groce. down to the plumber and the ashman, all based the valuation of their services to him on the assumption that he was rich; th milliner and dressmaker served his wife on the same assumption; the church looked to him for generoe donations of time and money; he was solicited for contributions to every 'enevolent project which arose; the Improvment Association levied upon him for funds to keep up public drives over which he had never driven; the lawyer charged - him the same fees he did the merchant or banker whose income was five times his; the surgeon expectel as much from him for the removal of his appendix as he did from the rich lawyer or broker or his rich neighbor of Independent fortune; his sons associated with tin-, sens of corporation magnates; his wife's intimate friends in the Woman's Club were among the richest, women in town, and she and her danghters looked to him to dress them like the daughters and wife of the banker. His whole salary went in the attempt to meet all these de mands; his whole life was a more or less unsuccessful effort to appear worthy of the circle in which his family seemed intended by nature to move. This was why bis library was a3 full of gaps as his purse was of cobwebs; this was why his clothes were so dangerously near beina threadbare: this was why he had grown wrinkled and gray in the effort to piece out his salary by struggling witn magazine article-; during the midnight hours of term time and through ixie vacation days which should have been given up to an attempt to regain eomeuung or tut elasticity of mind lost during the year; this was why his digestion was impaired, and why some of the delight of teaching had left him, and something : the sunshine of his presence had begun to be missed by his students. . uiearly, it was an impossibility. Clearly either the company of cuuioe u aa eet up a wrong ideal or he had chosen the wrong company. IIOBYAHIEI Great Damage to Shipping in Northern Waters COASTWISE VESSELS ARE LOST The .

The storm was most violent hi Northumberland Strait. Two schoon ers and one bark were swept aground in this strait, and a third schooner was wrecked near the eastern en trance. The Norwegian bark Adeona, tried to weather the gale off Iicxton, N. B., but dragged her anchors and ground- d on North Reef. She ' sprang- a leak. The tremendous seas made it imjx)ssible for any vessels to go to her assistance, leaving her crew of 12 helpless in the severe cold and heavy gale, and in danger of being swept overboard or dying from exposure. ear the same place the schooner lexanderf lumber laden , went ashore. fTM IT'- t -v- rt xui; ttiuusor, a. sciiooner Omega, lost her sails on Wednesday last when off Chariot tetown, and the seas washed over her carried nwnv her cabins and deck load.

Her crew of four men had been obliged to man the pumps with practically no rest since Wednesday and during all that time they had had neither food nor drink, all their supplies having been swept overboard They were rescued, almost overcome by exhaustion and exposure, soon after the vessel grounded. The schooner will probably be a total loss. A Newfoundland schooner, the ideuty of which has not been learn ed, was wrecked last night at Camp bells Cove at the eastern end of Prince Edward Island.
