It is ns senseless ns tho crazy man who jumped in tho river for fear of getting damp.” The families of tho duke and the marquise shrugged their shoulders and cried: “A lawsuit is more expensive than one would suppose.” But the world at large applauded the arrangement and declared It most reasonable.“They both,” remarked the Countess de Lnnguellne, “bear aristocratic names ami own fine fortunes.Both are widowed, both are old, both are ugly, and they detest one another.What more could one demand in a matrimonial venture?” As to the bride and groom elect, they paid small hoed to the gossips, contenting themselves with deploring tho exigencies , of fate and retarding as much hs i>ossiblo I the fulfillment of their mutual promise, j The gallant lover pleaded business in the city, and his fiancee pretended to have j urgent duties in tho country.For tho sake of the proprieties they agreed to write to each other while thus separated.Theduko took rofugo in a suburban hotel.Seated upon a Louis X111 chair and looking almost Imposing, with his white hair and amaranthine coat framed by the somber tapestries on the walls, ho absoutmlndedly broke tho seal of a letter bearing a coat of arms whb h he had just received.Glancing at the feminine hand writing covering the pages, ho remarked, smiling: “Some work for you, my nephew, Cleante.” Cleante was standing in the embrasure of the leaded glass window His 20 years, his eyes of periwinkle blue, his blond hair, frosted with powder, and his violet doublet, quilled with lace, brightened the old room.He was as piquant and catchy as a madrigal, as young and fresh as tho springtime.He seemed to have been created for the pencil of I-a Tour or the pen of Marivaux.“How my worthy friend would turn up her aristocratic nose if she knew how I disposed of her epistolary efforts!” added M.de Troneantique, fanning himself with his mechlin lace handkerchief, while Cleante took the letter of the marchioness and read It over carefully In order to acquaint himself with its contenta.It was so full of vivacity and sparkls that one felt sure tho heart of Mme.de Souchevieillo was still young even though her face was seamed with wrinkles.She wrote of serious things without pedantry and amusing ones without frivolity.Here and there was a hint of philosophy and occasionally one of politics.Indeed it was charming—this letter, written scarcely a century after Mme.de Sevigne, at a period when Mme.d’Eplnay, Mme.du Deffand and so many others conversed with their pons like Voltaire or Diderot.is a graceful girl of Id, and her j

believe-J happy with him Such sentiments l>cbp* ak ' a bright mind and nobb* heart.” “Tho heart of a bailiff, tho mind of a coachnmn, my beauty Ah, if you wore but 40 years older!” Still smiling.Doris sealed her letter, then seated herself by the window, where slat dreamily watched tho clouds She did not dream, however, that she was 40 years older, but that she received letters as loving as those of her aunt and that the Duke de Troneantique was just 40 years younger than now.Twelvemonths rolled by.and the day was near at hand for tbaconsummation of the marriage when, one morning, theduke landed at the chateau and earnestly re-quested the marquise to meet him at the hazel copse.The marquise consented, but upon arriving at tho rendezvous—ah, thrice accursed mischance!—the duke was suddenly seized with an attack of gout, besides suffering death from an old wound —glorious souvenir of Fontenoy “Cleante, my boy, there remains but one tiling to bo done,” ho cried.“Go yourself to tho hazel copse and be the bearer of my regrets.” The young man obediently departed on tIn* instant, and, singular to say, his heart throbbed at the suggestion of meeting her who had so filled his thoughts.‘ It is time for this nonsense to end,” ho said, taking himself to task “A sight of the marquise will dispel my dreams.1 know she has white nair, an ungraceful form, and I am not even sure that she does Hot limp.” Cleante had hardly reached tho hazel j oopso when ho caught a glimpse atthoend j of the road of a somber hued gown “Ah,” he whispered, tho rose colored paper was only IS years old Jit most, but this dead leaf frock is a sexagenarian at I least.” However, be could but avow that i tho delicate silhoucUeoutlined against the j trees was by no means bout, nor was there tho least halt in the gait She was approaching him nearer, yet nearer—the old lady Cnfortunately h r head was bowed atid I her eyes fixed on the pebbles of the walk, ¦ so that nothing was visible save her white I hair, drawn back under the hood of a dark brown cloak.The hair, however, was certainly very white.After scrutinizing tho wrinkled face, the faded eyes, the weary mouth, he would smile at his folly But while he look, d the unknown raised her head, and he saw that her eyes spar kled, her skin was smooth, her lips fresh, and that it was ] owdor and not age that had whitened her blond hair Shortly after the hour tor tho rendezvous th© marquise declared that a headache from which she had been suffering was better and took the path to the hazel copse, intending to secrete herself in tho forest and witness the discomfiture of the duke at lier nonnppearanco “What will my little simpleton say to tho old dotard?” she queried, thinking aloud.W alking softly, Mine, cle Souchevleille entered the underwood, but paused, startled.for just in front of her, moving cautiously like herself, there came theduke.The two former adversaries stared at one another In alarm for a second and then

others Old Jeff Bramlott dropped the tin plate frem which he was eating on the ground, not abruptly, but so gently that it hardly made a sound, and as it fell he apparently made an effort to rise to his feet, only to fall face forward into the fire, where still simmered the uneaten portion of the noon day meal Tho three remaining men sprang to their feet unharmed and rushed to seek cover behind trees and bowlders, picking up their arms that came nearest to their hands As Barrett passed the fire he drew from it the body of the old man.Tiie faec was covered with ashes and blood, w hile the long hair and open shirt were smoking from the contact with the coals Tho limp body and relaxed jaw told how suddenly death had come As the young man throw tho body to one side from the fire and sank under the Cover of a bowlder he glanced in the diree tion from which the shots had come, but could see nothing As he watched there would occasically rise puffs of white smoke, followed by the n port of a rifie, and he would lire in return Through the w ! » aft 1 not mi no 11 < nco did ho see an Indian s lave or form Alter the first surprise the three had called to one another and were rejoiced to know that none was hit The oldest had taken the direction of affairs “Hold your ammunition and wait until tonight, and then wo w ill break back for tho canyon and try to reach the settlements There are too many of them for us to stand off,’' he said, and so through the long afternoon they waited Tho lire they had kindled burned out, andthelnidy of the dead man beside it grew cold and rigid The blood no longer flowed from the wound.When the wind would blow the ashes from the coals left by the fire, they would still glow, as if in mockery of the quick death that had overtaken the outstretched form beside them When darkness had come, tho three men gradually crept hack, keeping as closely together as possible, in the direction of the canyon Ixfidmi them.Occasionally, out of the darkness, would come a Hash of light, from a rifle fired in their direction To these at first they replied, but when they had got some distance from the camp where the dead man lay they rose to their f«s*t and as rapidly and noiselessly as possible retreated to the canyon No one sjioke, but each knew that the faces of his comrades were, like his own, glowingwith that feeling of gratitude that comes only when a man has escaped almo t certain death.They would never see tho man they had left behind again, but.after all, he was old and alone in the world, while they—well, with them life was sweeter ami dearer than it could |>ossibly have been to him To Harry, at hast, it seemed so.What would the girl have done had ho instead l»een killed and lying back there by the deserted campfire to he mutilated

arms.Harry tried to j tn them and rose to his feet, but only to tali again.“What’s the matter?" asked one of his comrades.“1 think I have sprained my leg some way." he replied The two men assisted him to arise, but when he was on his fis t Ins left legsu'imd to be without life so far as any control of the muscles of it was concerned He tried to step forward, but it dragged as if it Were paralyzed.A cold sweat broke out all over him, ami when one of the men who supported him said, “This is heill” it sounded like a sentence of death “Can t you move it at all?" asked on* of his comrades, his voice betraying his desire to l>e oue* more on his way toward the settlements They were still standing where they had falh n in th* moonlight, and one of them, noticing it, led the way back into the shadow “No, I am afraid it ia broken," answered the disabled man.His voice sounded strange and changed.lie could hardly recognize it.The dead man whom they had left lying hack by the cam [fire seemed very near to him, and in his fear and pain he wondered if the Indians had mutilated him much.The two men laid him down, and one.taking the disabled limb in his hand, moved it gently back and forth and in an instant moved his hand far up on the thigh.“Yes, it's broken there.You can feel the ends of tho bones As hi* said it he glanced from the lice ot tho wounded man into that of his other comrade K\eti

gleaming row of rnrtridgis.and handed it to one of the men alter takn g the revolver from its holster “Well, we ain’t going to leave you," said one of his comrades.“Boys, that is noicense," said the disabled man.His voice was so calm and clear now that it surprised him “You can do me no good by staying and there will bo throe instead of one to die.By tomorrow morning you can bo within ivach of the settlements and safe, but my tim* has come." The two men looked at each other in silence.After all, it was but true that nothing would be gained by their staying.They had both risen to their feet like men who had been given a new hope “Boys, tell Mattie how it was and give her what I have got in town.” At the mention of the girl s name there again came into tho voice the unsteady strangeness that was there w'hen he first told them that he was hurt, while in the moonlight they could see there were tears in his eyes.For an instant the wounded man was silent, and then he added.“You had better take my arms with you.You may need them.” As ho finished shaking he cocked tho revolver and placed it to his head, but before he could ; n ss tho trigger one of the men grasped his hand and exclaimed: “ Don t do that! “Yes.you arc right Tho report would betray us,” said tho wounded man as ho' lowered the weapon.“Give me that knife instead." “1 didn’t mean it that way," said the man who had made tho remark ashamed that the true feelings which prompted it had been perceived by tho wounded man.“Don t kill yourself Wo will stay with you, and we may yet pull through." The W’ounded man shook his head quietly Tho tone of the speaker told him as plain as words could have dune that there was but one chance of escape for any of them He took from the belt the man mechanically handed him, In compliance with his request, his heavy hunting knife and leaned back full length In the shadow of thecanyon.The men who stood watching him saw his eyes close and his lip* moving in prayer, hut only for an instant, and then, without looking up, he said “Goodby.boysl I hoi>e you will get through." There was not a quaver In his voice.As ho finished tho men turned away so as not to see him, each saying softly, as if speaking to himself: “Goodby, Harry!" As they stood looking down tho moonlit canyon they could hear behind them, where the wounded man lay, sounds as if ho were choking and gasping for breath When they no longer heard them, they looked toward where he lay.The white breast, where tho opened bosom of tho shirt exposed It in the shadow, Km iked as if stained with ink where tho blood had touehed it and oer< -s if, lay the nerveless hand that had held the knife.For an instant the two men looked down on the body with awe, as if afraid that tho open eyes were watching them.Then one placed ids hand over the heart of tiie outstretched form, shuddering as ho felt how warm it was.It seemed unnatural that it should he so with a dead man For a moment he held it there, and then, wiping from it on tho sliii't of the dead man flu* blood thatrdained it.he arose and said in answer to his comrade’s look, in almost a whisper, as if fearing to lie heard by the spirit that had just departed “ Yes, lie is dead And then tho two survivors

Other Section*.The following interesting notes from •orrespondent* conoerning the wheat crop occur in Rural New Yorker: I have found that the most satisfactory and economical way to har\ est a | wheat crop is to hitch four horses to a , toven foot cut twine binder of some ' standard make and cut 18 or 20 acres a ; day.It has not displaced band labor in this country, because hand labor was j not iu vogue when this country was : opened up.We could not harvest a crop without the machine.We can’t get competent labor as it is.The machine only increases the capacity of labor.We find the best way to rtack wheat in iu i round stacks of a boni seven loads each, j but very little of it is done.When | graiii ' stacked, we consider three w< in enough to go through (he ' •w id out fanners sell the bulk of | t' p when thrashed to pay expciihcH.1 .c usually hold when I could, but i Ifco times have be* n rare that the price I was more in the spring than in the fall.It is good policy to bold the crop back when the ruling price is below 75 cents.— W.S.F., Michigan City, N.D.Some thrash from the shock, which is the cheaper way, provided it is a dry sr".son and a thrasher can be secured promptly; otherwise stack the grain and take no chances.Make round stacks with the lower part of the upper third Cod* Arcompll«h*d by Furnishing kwtue With Fustur»**.The hog by uature is a grazing animal, and I believe that pasturage for kirn is not only a luxury, but a necessity.By a succession of blue grass, clover sod rye we can at all ti?jcs bave good jasturage for our hogs, and by furnishing them with pasturage we accomplish two ends—we harvest the crops without any expense or labor, and at the same time the hogs in harvesting it take the necessary exercise and become fully developed iu bone and muscle.I believe that the failure of many breeders is due more to this one fact than to any other —the lack of pasturage.Some breeders feed what is called properly balanced rations, feed regularly two or three times a day, rations that contain bone and muscle producing elements—the hog eats and lies down and repeats this as often as he is fed, scarcely ever taking any exercise, as be soon knows that there is nothing for him in his lot except what is put in his trough by his master—and then the breeder can’t understand why he has failed to raise a properly developed bog.You might just as well attempt to get a race horse or to make an athlete by feeding only.While nature demands certain feeds, she also makes other demands.As to the cheapness of pasturage there can be no doubt.By a late experiment made by the Wisconsin station an acre of rape was found to be equal to 47 bushels of grain.Just how much grain an acre of clover or blue grass is equal to I am not prepared to say, but we all know that when we feed grain iu connection with good pasturage xve save much grain, and the hogs are healthier and better.I don’t believe the most ardent advocates of rape claim for it a superiority over clover and blue grass, and I hope some of our stations will give us the rain following the stalks into the stack.\\ 1 ( ») properly constructed and settled, such sta Us will remain dry six mouths, (ira i properly slacked can be thrashed r the convenjence of the owner.An orage of prices will show that the best v,.ue to sell is immediately after harvest, or when the rush is over, unless there is a inaminoth crop, in which case it should bo sold immediately after bar vi r.Tho H n -1 important things to do are to bo prompt and thorough, taking no clu i.< ¦ s 11 mg t.» save a

with tho heads toward tho prevailing winds, and press down firmly.Wheat shocked in this way will shod more hard rain than any long shock 1 over saw.1 prefer putting wheat in the barn or stacking to thrash to thrashing directly from tho field.I think tho round stack preferable l begin in the center and overlap each bundle about ono-half, keep the center of ¦tack tho highest, increase the height of tho center as tho stack increases iu height and pitch on from all sides so tho stack will settle evenly.If tho stack is to stand any length of time, I top out with fresh cut swamp grass, beginning well down from the top, put on in layers, each layer overlapping tho other.Thou when tho first shower comes, takes a hand rako and with the back, break down tho butts all around, and tho ¦tack will never wot in if the work bo properly done.I have seen stacks put up in tliis way stand in excellent shape until December.We usually thr.i.-h as soon after harvest as convenient.1 think 1 would m 1 ns

xnenco stacking about ten days after cutting and put in ricks (two ricks in a set) with 20 foot foundations, which i a good size for convenience iu stacking, thrashing and keeping.If 1 intend ti sell the cropat once, it must be thrashed within three days after stacking or else it will be in “tho sweat, “ ami if it get in that condition it should stand at least three weeks before thrashing, s< that it xvill be thoroughly dried out I much prefer this way of thrashing, as the berry is much nicer, plumper and xvill weigh heavier than if thrashed out of the shock, or just after stacking.Tin three things I consider the most impor taut in wheat harvest are, first, have the wheat ripe; second, have the binder iu perfect runniug order; third, have good men to shock and stack, ami if the weatln r is favorable, the grain will tx ¦afely harvested.—O.A.M., Set a, Ind Treatment of 01*1 AKitaragUA lied*.Tho treatment of asparagus in old Vieds is not xvell nndorstcod by all gar doners.According to

LEAF CURL.Oprsylag Wltb Rordeani Xfistur* I* R*-poried a* LeMteuiitg tha Troubla.Leaf curl of the peach has caused alarm this season in various sect ions of the country.Although a tree when first Attacked may apparently quickly re-coveraud renew its foliage, recent investigations indicate that measures should be taken to prevent a recurrence of the disease with increasing damage the next year.The botanist of the Ohio station records the following: It is shown that leaf curl flourish®» under conditions of low temperature and abundant rainfall for April and May, especially it these conditions follow a season of excessive leaf curl.Two »uch seasons following each other have just been experienced, and there is widespread complaint of the curling, coloring and falling of the leaves affected with the fungus.It has also been noted that tho leaf curl prevails to a greater extent upon several fine varieties, including Liberia, Oldmixon, Mountain Rose, (Robe, the Crawfords, Red Check, Chair’s Choice and some others, while Salway, 8mock, Wheeler and some others are much less susceptible, though somewhat injured at times.Trees badly attacked by carl are liable to drop much or all of the fruit.Spraying experiments conducted on a commercial scale have been carried on for three years.It has been shown that bordeaux mixture is a profitable fungicide for scab, pustular spot and leaf curl, the stronger mixture being used for the application before blossoming, while half the strength can be used to good advantage after the loaves are out.The first spraying for leaf curl to be effective must he made as the buds are swelling and just before the blossoms open, followed by another after blooming.These two sprayings iu 1897 reduced tho proportion of curled leaves (diseased) from 88 per cent on unsprayed to 41 per cent on the sprayed, a difference believed to be sufficient to hold the crop of fruit.The results are even more striking when unsprayed trees were compared xvith those treated two years iu succession.In 1897 »ueh had but 7 to 8 per cent of curled loaves, while the unsprayed for the same tima had 88 per cent curl.ftkicumilk For Pig;*.A writer in a western farm paper declares that tho large proportion of water xvhich skimmilk contains makes it of too little value to bo worth carrying home from the creamery or separator after its batter fats have been extracted.This is not tho experience of eastern farmers, who find that skimmilk when combined xvith grain feed makes the very best ration both for growing and fattening hogs.It is easy to see why skimmilk should be good fur growing pigs, as xvhat nutriment it contains is mainly its casein, which is another name for albumen and one of the best foods to make growth and muscle.But fattening hogs are also equally benefited by having some skimmilk with their grain food.No animal can digest a ration that is wholly carbonaceous.Nature demands the material for making muscle and bone.Appetite fails if they are imt furni lied.Yet years ago we remember hearing of hogs which had been fattened until they were weak that they could net stand up and bad to have xvhat fed they ate brought to them.Such hogs would not eat much, as they got no exercise and made small gains in weight, and that not of hcallhy pork.If good skimmilk with some wheat middlings iu it had been fed to such hogs, they xvould have gained in weight much faster, and the hogs would have had the material for hone-making so as to keep them on their feet until i i ly for killing time.—American Cultivator.Put Your Wool In Condition.The time xvill soon he hero for the flock master to prepare his clip for market.During roceuA years of low prices an increase in careless handling is seen in the condition many farmers send their wool to market.See that the sheep are tagged early, before getting on tho fields of fresh grass.YVe xvould like to see the practice of washing generally abandoned, yet if wash iug is attempted either xvash xvell or don’t wash at all.Choose a day xvhen the water is flush and the wool is softened by a warm spring shower.Then the grass and dirt xvill come out more easily.Washing iu cool weather and in cold, hard xvater should he avoided, as it does not clean the wool and colors and injures th« appearance of the fleece.Higher prices are likely to prevail than flock owners have enjoyed for some yoais.and xvith them xvill come more can lui scrutiny of the condition by the buyer and the casting into the lot of discount wool more of those fleeces that are off condition.—National

For Onton*.Thu preparation of the seed bed in growing an onion crop is pronounced by Thu American Cultivator as of greatest importance.According to this authority, the bed should be fine and mellow at the surface, but ought not be deep.This condition is bent secured by fall ploxving land that has been already plowed and cultivated with some hoed crop to lessen the wood seeda in the soil.A crop of potatoes is the best to precede onions.Corn is objectionable because tho stubs of corn butts when plowed under do not decay rapidly and xvill remain under the furrow next year, letting in air and making the bottom of the furrow too loose.For the saino reason sod land should not be plowed for onions.It is best to leave the soil slightly rough after the fall plow ing, but not iu ridges, as the breaking down of these will make the mellow soil too deep.So soon as the ground is dry enough harrow and roll this surface so as to compact it while mellowing it.Mark the rows straight, making them an inch deep.Then roll a short roller over tho drill mark, packing tho soil over the seed.If the onion seed is soaked so that it is nearly ready to sprout, the young onions will be up, so as to seo the rows before the weeds come up.This enables the grower to destroy most of the weeds by hoeing before they are up.Only the xveods in lino xvith tho onions xvill have to be taken out by hand.A still better way perhaps is to grow onion sets, planting tho seed in greenhouses some time during fall or winter and saving tho sets to be transplanted xvhen the ground is fit for them in tho spring.Wider Hake* and Hoe* Wanted.For some purposes onr common garden hoes or rakes aro too slow.Often xvo have to rako our fields over xvhen fitting them for setting onion plants or for sowing small seed.Our common steel rakes aro only a foot xvide, and it takes a good deal of time to go over a patch.I hope some of onr manufacturers of garden tools xvill before long give us a rako not less than two feet wide.It xvill save us more than half the time ! consumed in raking.And thus it is also with tho hoe.For draxving soil up to the rows of celery, iu hilling, the hoe might just as well be 18 inches xvide.Sometimes I have remedied the deficien-cy in length by riveting a piece of an old crosscut saxv 18 inches long cn an old hoe, and thus been enabled to do I quick work, but why don’t manufacturers give us such tools?—T.Greiner in Farm and Fireside.Q^otst rear a «te- * C.C.ACTL'fc* .— ish DOOitb bLiNi a*«*« BouldAM*», * !«Mir t*«-*re*« «il'i .'»dro***u Tixubc* U :tJ r**» paid for

the Conference is sure to concur in a change of the conference boundaries so that Montreal Conference which has so much home mission territory within the Province of Quebec, may be relieved of the Nipissing district.The northern district in that case will be attached to Toronto Conference.As the five year pastoral term has not yet had time for a full trial, leading three year men say that the conference which opens to-morrow is not likely to be called upon to make any change, but they are of the opinion that the three-year itiner ancy will eventually be returned to.S emiOentennialFesti val OF THK METHODISTS OF LEN NOXVILLE.STIRRING ADDRESSES.There was a large gathering of the aged middle-aged and youth of Methodism at Lennoxville on Wednesday evening.It was an occasion of rejoicing over the progress of the work of God in this place during the last fifty years.Supper was served in the basement till 9 o clock, when the audience retired to the church, where an hour and a half was spent in a most delightful and profitable way.Rev.F.A.Read, pastor of the church presided.All joined in the doxology after which Mr.E.8.Orr of Cookshire led in prayer The first speaker was Rev.J.E.Starr of Stanstead.The chairman said he would reserve his address till Mr.Starr had gone, beevuse he was obliged to leave by the 9.40 train.Mr.Starr, being introduced, said a few humorous things and then d flighted his audience for 35 minutes with his soulstirring eloquence ar.d a marvellous production of truth which had a very practical bearing, not only upon the occasion but upon the age in which we live, and the great question of the hour.After he had gone Mr.Read said : I feel greatly favoured and highly honoured in being the pastor of the Lennoxville church to-night.I am happy in presiding on this auspicious occision—a time lor g to be remembered in the history of this church.1 wish to congratulate the church in this place upon tier sue cessful achievements since the year 1848.Long prior to that date Methodism had planted her standard and preached her doctrine in the valley of the St.Francis.For we had a minister in Melbourne in 1817.But it was not till the year 1848 that the work became fully established at Leri fxville.During the midsummer of that ' r th * Rw.Gilford Dorey was appointed io L x ville.He tooK up the work at Sherbr.>«»ke and Lennoxville which had been well begun by a young minister named John Douglas, brother of of the late eminent Dr.Douglas.Mr.Dorey remained only one year, but he completed the work of orginization, obtained the first official regiater, and made preparations for building a church which was finished and dedicated during the ministry of his successor.Rev.Henry Lanton.Mr.Durey’s first official act was the administration of Baptism.His last was a marriage.The first child bap tiz-fd by him was Samuel James Johnston son of William Johnston of Ascot, who is with us to night leaning up >n his staff During that year of his ministry he performed only one marriage, and that was by the special permission of his Excellency the Governor General of Canada.' But when I tell you the name of the young man whom he married, and als > that he administered baptism to thirty-seven persons during the year you will conclude with me that the outlook for Methodism was by no means glowing.That young man was Wm.Miller Hall of Orford.He is with us to-night, and has ever been a faithful member of thechurch and a loyal supporter of the cause of God, and we congratulate ourselves on the jubilee occasion upon having him with us still.Long may he be spared to the church of his choice.It is pleasing also to note that Mr.Dorey is still in the active work in the homeland and has the distinguished honor of being one of “The Legal Hundred,of the British Conference.Rev.Henry Lanton remained two years and was followed by Benjamin JSleight who remained five years, during which ministry the first church in Sher brooke was erected.It is now occupied as a hotel and stands just above the market square.Benjamin Sleight was followed by W.D.Brown, Wm.Hansford, Edward Barrens, James Roy, Win.Hal), John Borland, John Wakefield, Daniel Connolly.During these years the work of God gr^w and prospered so that the services 8.Chlou Elliott, wife of John Holyon.aged

to Ottawa, Canada, to make his official report estimates this season’s gold output at $11,000,000, while the clean-up for next year will, undoubtedly, aggregate $20,000,000.He predicts that further developments in the Yukon will go beyond the expectations of everybody.Concerning the situation at Dawson, Major Walsh said : “The district in the vicinity of Dawson is over populated by about 10,000 people, and they must either move out and prospect new territory or leave the district.’’ I.O.F.OFFICERS.Toronto, Aug.30.—At the afternoon session of the Supreme Court of the Independent Order of

AD’S GROWING PROSPERITY.News of Canada’s growing prosperity must alwajs be good news to Englishmen, but it is best of all when evidence comes with it that the Canadians themselves, stewards of vast undeveloped resources, are faithful to the s ewardship.At the Manchester Chamber of Commerce yesterday Mr.Fisher and Mr.Robertson did more than bear witness to the great progress that their Country has made in agriculture and the kindred industries.They explained the pains the Government had taken to < b ain the best comm, rc al and technical advice for the farmers, to provide means for carrying their produce uninjured into the best markets, however distant, and, finally, to make known its excellence to buyers in other countries.It may be, as Frank Forbes Adam said, that the sentiment of patriotism is not an appreciable commercial force in Lancas-shire, certainly the Canadian producer is neither foolish nor so unpatriotic as to seek to trade upon it.Still, a better knowledge of Canada s products and her extraordinary natural wealth, mineral as well as agricultural, cannot but stimulate our trade with her and open the eyes of British investors to opportunities for pro fitable enterprise that for a long time have been strangely neglected.—Manche* ter Grardian.The Quebec Government have made a grant of $10,000 towards the Quebec Exhibition.Three men were drowned in the
