country and age has shown that the frultfulness of soll depends on adequate water supply; no water, no crops, no animals, no human life\u2014indeed, no soil.Soil is of three purts\u2014one solid, an- otber tluid and the third gaseous.The golid part consists of mineral and or- ganle matter in fragmentary or granular condition.It forms the stable body of the sofl.The fluid part is a solution consisting of water carrying mineral and organic matter.It forms the circulatory medium of soil and plants, The gaseous part consists of air (nitrogen und oxygen) mixed with aqueous vapor, carbon dioxide, hydrogen dioxide, etc.It permeates the body of the soil, moving with the movement of the circulatory fluid, changes in temperature and barometric pressure, etc.The three parts are conveniently known as soil body, soil fluid and soil gas.Much of the substance of plants is taken directly and that of animals in- .largely through the return of substances from plants and animals in more highly differentiated or richer form, and the chief source of vital energy in soil (expressed by its own fune- tioning and measured by its fertility) is derived from the growth and decay of plants and animals, Thus potash and pitrates are elaborated and concentrated by plants and phosphates by animals and returned to the soll, which is thereby enriched and rendered more effective in sustaining both plants and animals.While the interdependence of soll and organisms extends to all the materials and powers of both, it operates Fhotograph by Tennessee agricultural experiment station, PITCHING TO PREVENT WASHING OF SOIL: chietly through the peculiarly potent substance water, of which large quau- titles exist in the soil and pass thence into tue plants and animals, and the vital energy of arganisms, like that of soil, is maintained largely by the circulation of their fluid portions, which consist chiedy af water.Tn mast animal genera the circulation is fairly uniform throughout life.Among most kinds of plants it varies widely with the season.while in soll the circulation depends largely on climate and seuson, especially as these are related to plant growth.Other things equal, tbe internal work or functioning of soil is determined by its capacity for conserving water and conveying it to growing plants.The fresh water entering soil is derived from rain or melting snow either directly or through overflow or underfiow by irrigation or otherwise.The water within the soil may be or may not be efficient in circulation or in soil functioning.according to its quantity in relation to the soil texture, for with its quantity its condition may be said to vary from, first, static to.sccond.dynamic\u2014that is, it may bè either inert or active.to ' The full capacity of a given soil for water ranges with its texture or porosity from some 30 per cent to over 50 per cent of ifs volume.This may be denoted the water of saturation.It completely fills the interstices among le soll grains, displacing the soll gas, and ordinarily moves hydrostatically poder the impulse of gravitation.It mpedes pr prevents normal funetion- g of the soil and remains fn § vir tually static condition until the excess is removed by drainage, ete.The water required to form sail fluid (or to furnish the most effective soil moisture) ranges with the texture of the soil body from, say.10 per cent for sand to 40 per cent for fine clay and much more for muck.The quantity suffices to form a film surrounding ench soil grain in such manner as to permit capillarity to act throughout the mass and yet leave space for air (or soil gas) within the interstices.While ordinary annual crop plants root within the first foot from the surface, the underlying three feet of sub- soil forms a reservoir whence they de- directly from the soil, and soll grows - + EDMUND WALKER, Le PR A ORALE EE nnager I san rs dre ee CAPITAL, $15,000,000 - THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE

mean moisture when plant growth ceases by reason of exhaustion of the soil fluid is probably less than 10 per cent, and the difference measures the store of water additional to the current rainfall on which the plants may draw.This difference (15 per cent of four feet, or 7.2 acre inches\u2014810 tons per acre) may be denoted the effective soil fluid of average soll.The rate of soil plant circulation and the quautity of water passing through soil and plants during the growing season are indicated by the exhalation from growing plants.A grass plant will in the course of au hot day exhale its own weight of water, and a young leaf of wheat or rye exposed to the sun may even exhale its own weight in an hour.The maintenance of the soil plant circulation required for crop production generally involves repeated udditions of water during the growing season, for the effective soll fluid within four feet of the surface would at the observed rate of plant transpiration suf- tice for but a meager yield even if the entire quantity were utilized.In ordinary farming the water is not fully conserved and applied to plant growth, so that practically the 7.2 acre inches of effective soil Nuid growth would not suffice to produce n crop or even permit any yield whatever from most types of soil, though under certain conditions water may be drawn from greater depths in the subsoil than four feet.If properly cultivated and watered the average acre foot of soil.welghing some 2,000 tons (Including the contained water), retains efliciency for centuries, but to be even moderately productive this soil must convey to the crop plants fully 1.5 acre feet of water, or an amount equivalent to its own weight, during each growing season.To become effective in plant growth water must enter the soil body, take up both mineral salts and organic sub stances in sulution and pass thence into the plants und on into the air.This is the normal course of soil plant circulation, and the relative quantities of the solid and fluid parts of the soil involved in plant growth probably correspond fairly with the strength of the solution, or one to several bundred.Pending precise determinations, it may | be assumed that the strength of the\u2019 solution formiug tue soil fluid and the ratio of the solid and fluid parts required to maintain efficiency are about equal and sumething like 1 to 1,000.in nature the flora varies with the rainfall from sparsely distributed cacti and other desert plants to luxuriant forests, and as lands are brought under cultivation the crop yields vary from place to place and from senson to season with the rainfall or with the water supplied by irrigation.Generally throughout the United States the actual yield per wnt of water is considerably less than the ratio of dry matter tg water determined by plant exhalation.A fair to good crop from an acre (i.e., an acre foot) of fertile soil supplied with four acre feet of water during the year may be put at a ton of grain and three tons of stover and stubble, or four tous in all\u2014equiv- aleut to 1-1360 of the weight of the water, With lessening of the aggregate water supply (whi.n of course includes rainfall, accumulated ground water.subsurface flow and irrigation) the yield dhminishes more rapidly than the quantity of water, virtually ceasing when the supply falls below am acre foot, while with augmented supply the yield Increases more rapldly than the water su long as the tillage and character of crop ure adapted to full use of the entire supply.With present knowledge the ratio is, of course, but a rough approximation.Measurements are vague and experiences variable, soils differ both in composition and In the texture controlling circulation, and the yield of succulent | wegetubles or of juicy fruits or fresh forage may be several times that of grain.nuts or dry forage, so that jt will probably be found needful in time to work out ratios for particular crops, just as it is now convenient to reckon yields per acre in different averages for the several crops.In the course of his work on lrriga- tion Powell recognized the necessity for determining \u201cthe amount of water which is needed tc serve an acre of land\u201d and spoke of this service as the \u201cduty\u201d of water measurable in nacre feet, and irrigators bave frequently applied the phrase to the measure of the water rather than of the service performed by the water\u2014u service susceptible of useful measurement only in terms of what the water does in that production which furnishes food for man and forms the foundation for human industries and institutions.So, pending more precise determinations.the agricultural duty of water may be defined as the production of one one- thousandth part of Îts weight in average plant crop or one four-thousandth of its weight in grain.Naturally the coefficient for plant yield will nat apply to general farm production, including crops of meat, eges, wool, hides, ote, for not only do animals drink many times their welght in water annually, but they consume indirectly in thelr feed the equivalent of that much larger quantity required for the growth of the vegetnl tissue of which the feed consists.\u2018The human consumption ls still larger.The 5,000.- 000,000 acre feet (or.215.000,000.000.000 cubic feet) constituting the total yearly water supply of mainland United States would suffice for a population of about 1,000,000,000.In a brond way it may be said that the final duty of water is to sustain a human life a year for each five acre feet used effectively in agriculture.Public Introductions.Introductions in public\u2019 are made ag a matter of convenience and since they are

alfalfa was worth $68.44 more than an acre of timothy in milk production under the conditions of the experiment and swith milk at $1.30 per 100 pounds.The New Jersey station concludes that in feeding value three pounds of alfalfa are equivalent to one of cotton: seed meal.Where alfalfa was tested against wheat bran and dried brewers\u2019 grain the saving in cost of milk was 12.7 cents per 100 and 2.3 cents per pound of butter.The milk value of an acre of alfalfa was $74.Loretta D., the great Jersey cow that beat the world's record at the St.Louis world\u2019s fair, was fed alfalfa, as were other cows that helped to wake dairy history.Bear Down; Up Goes Post!

UNSCRUPULOUS.Merchants Seeking Royal Warrants to Put the British Coat of Arms on Goods Are the Most Frequently Encountered by the King's Staff \u2014Instant Dismissal Meted Out to the Dishonest.Only those who have had the privilege to serve in the King's Houschold can realize the temptation that is thrown in the way of those who are known to be connected officially with the court.To the credit of the members of the royal staff, it has to be said at once thal these temptations are nearly alwag: treated with contempt.A roce incident, in which two officials of the Lord Chamberlain's Department were implicated, shows, however, that, sometimes the temptations held out are more than can be resiated.Punishment in such à case is swift and severc.soon as anyone joins the Royal Household it is made perfectly clear to him or her that any attempt to gain personal profit by reason of their position means instant dismissal, and this rule is never departed from.no matter how important their post may be.No mitigating circumstances are taken into consideration in such a case, and the mere fact that the confidence of the sovereign has been betrayed is regarded as sufficient to have the culprit removed from court.It is safe to say that scarcely a day passes but what anyone known to be connected in any way with the Royal Household, or possessed of any influence there, is approached with suggestions that he might benefit his own by falling in with schemes propounded to him.It is not many months since one of the best-known officials of the Lord Chamberlnin's Department was offered a cheque tor £600 if he could get a royal warrant stating that the firm in question had been specially appointed to supply a certain article to the King.It was known, of course, to those who made this offer that the official in question had access to the blank forms upon which these warrants nre drawn up, and that it would not have been a matter of documents.The offer was indignantly rejected.and the whole matter reported to Viscount Knollys, His Majesty's principal private secretary, with the result that the firm who made the proposal is still without the royal patronage and is probably wondering why no orde.: from Buckingham Palace come its way.It is not always money that is the bribe offered to court officials, Social advancement is often the bait dangled before them.A case in point may be quoted.One of the principal subordinates of the Master of the Horse was approached two or three years ago by u lady of title with the suggestion that she could obtain handsome fees for presenting young ladies at court if he would undertake that they should receive the necessary \u201ccommands.\u201d The lady in question possessed great influence in the political world, and openly promised the official a baronetey if he would do this for her.When he declined ta take any part in this scheme he was then threatened with the lady's grave displeasure, and was bluntly told that she would make it her business to see that he was removed from his position.His retort was prompt and surprising.He went dircet to his official chief and luid the whole incident before him, with the result that he continues to hold his position in the Household and the lady in question no longer receives invitations to court.Lord Stamfordham once remarked that \u2018\u2019one never knows how popular one is until once is appointed to a position at court.\u201d This is certainly true, since invitations from people of whom one has had no previous knowledge simply pour in from all quarters upon those whose good fortune it is to serve either the King or the Queen.An amusing story may be told in this connection.About this time last year an extremely well- dressed lady went up to an official of the Lord Chamberlain's Department in Piccadilly one morning, addressed him by name, shook him warmly by the hand, reproached him for having \u201cneglected her for so long,\u2019' and made him promise he would call upon her on the following Thursday.This done she tripped away.leaving the courtier gazing alter her in amaze ment, since he had not.and has not to this day, the slightest idea of her identity.It is not often that an official of the court is so directly approached with an offer of monetary reward for his services in getting a royal war.vant as was the case a few months ago.He was written to by a firm of eigarctte merchants hailing, it i8 almost unnecessary to add, from the other side of the Atlantic, forwarding him samples of their goods, together with the cool intimation \u2018\u2018that they were well aware that the cigarettes were just the thing the King could smoke and enjoy.\u201d and that for every 1,000 thot His Majesty ordered the official approached could have G0 per cent.of the account as paid.The reply was curt, but deserved.It was to the cffect that the samples had been handed by the courtier to his chauffeur.who pronounced them rub- biah.and that in those circumstances he did not feel justified in pressing them upon his sovereign.Quite a Similarity.\u201cYoung man, you must learn that time is money,\u201d counseled the father, \u201cWell, dad.at least 1 have noted points of similarity between them.\u201d \u201cIn what way?\u201d asked the encous- aged parent.\u201cYou know the expression \u2018time flies,\u201d \u2019 replied the young hopeful.Opals.Tf opals look cracked let them lie in olive oil s few days, when the cracks will have disappeared.Bandmaster Honored.One of Toronto's best known bandmasters, and incidently one who is very popular, has just been the recip jent of an unusual henor from the militia department in the form of a }ieutenancy.Bandmaster John Slat.\u201ctery of the 48th Highlanders is the lucky man.The honor conferred on Mr.Slattery is & very unusual one, and is held by only one other bandmaster in Canada, and only by three in the British army.At the Table.Before the dessert is served the crumbs should be removed from the table, using for the purpose a crumb tray and a silver scraper.A brush ls no longer considered bygienic.When tuncheon is served at a polished table a folded napkin may be nsed to sweep up the crumbs instead of the scraper.A good waitress always tries to antick pate the requirements of the diners.TALL BEAR STORIES.British Columbia Sour Do.ghs Draw Long Bow.Whilst working with a timber sur.voy party a & -rt time ago in British Columbia 1 had the pleasure of hearing some very \u201ctall\u201d yarns about bears, these mostly from the old woodsmen and prospectors who live amongst the tall timbers, The night that 1 listened to the *wo following yarns we had camped with us two old fellows who had spent most of their days in the wilds.\u201cTalking about bears,\u201d exclaimed one old pioneer.\u201cThey're the clever- vst animal what's alive.\u201d We all set tled down to hear a very startling yaru.Filling his pipe, he continued: \u201cOnce 1 ean remember, it was about twelve years ago.1 was canoeing down a small stream in Northern British Columbia, when T heard a rustling in the long crass ahead of me.I turned the canoe into the bank to watch and listen where the sound came from.IT had not long to wait when n large brown bear came walk ing through the grass just ahead of me to the water on his hind legs.My first impulse was to seize my rifle and shoot him there, but as it was summer and knowing the fur would he useless, I decided not to waste his life.But I watched and waited.The hear stooped down and dipped his front paws into the water, forming a little bowl with them, filled them with water and marched back into the bush agnin; presently he returned und repeated the saine perform.nuce.1 became mighty curious to seu what that bear was doing, so Î quietly pulled to the opposite sida ot the stream until 1 was abreast of where hie was coming down to the watér.Now.boys.\u201d says he, quiet like, \u201cwhat do vou think that hear was doing with that water?\u201d The party of us made some vild guessra.\u201cNo,\u201d says he, \u201cyou are all wrong.Lads,\u201d he went on, \u201cif you think am not telling the truth don't ray anything; but that bear was carrying water to a sick she-bear that had two very small cuba lying beside her.\u201d There were a few rather loud coughs.Several of va cleared our throats but nobody said anything Wo sat around the fire and smoked our pipes for some time, very quiet ly.when the other old woodsman broke the gilenee hy saying: \u201cThat varn reminds me of an incident that hetell me once\u201d The old man econ.tinued- \u201cl wns lost ones up in the Kettle River country and the weather was very bad: there were quite a number of timher-wolves aronnd that country, T Had heard tell of.Night enme on and the snow began to fall, so T gathered a little wood to make a fire, thinking it would keep m2 warm and also frighten any animals away; so making myself nr comfortable as possible under these conditions an the friendly side of a larce fir trea, started my fire going.\u201d Af ter n little pause, to take a few puffs nt his pipe, the narrator continued: \u201c1 anust have fallen asleep, for a crackling sound startled me and brought me to my senses, but luck.ilv the habit of not moving on awnk- ening stond by me.TI earcfully open.od my eyes, to see a huge grizzly standing

{rw moments before daring to seek my precious rifle.Then, just as 1 intended to get up and look for it, the bear returned with à large armful of wood and placed it on the fire.\u201d The party remained silent for a few moments, till someone said he was tired and would turn in for the night.We crept off quietly for our blankets, leaving the two old woodsmen amok.ing their pipes and gazing into the fire\u2014H.8.Abbott in Canadian Courier, Canada Is Ninth.Of the billion dollars\u2019 worth of annual trade of Canada, one-half comes and goes over the two great oceans.Hence Canada stands

Church In Canada Being Effected In Montreal.Church union upon the basis proposed by the Preshyterian, Methodist and Congrezational Churches of Canada is now taking practical form in many places throughout the Domine jon.From present indications it appears that many of the individual churches both in the east and in the west are growing tired and weary of waiting.and are now gaining headway under unions proposed and cars ried out by themselves.The General Union Committee made such a loophole, and many of the churches are putting their heads through it.Probably the largest union church in the Dominion will be that of the Dominion Square Methodist Church and the Stanley street Presbyterian Church of Montreal.In both cases the church property was disposed of, and in each ease sites were purchaa- esl in Westmount.In the verge of erection à union was proposed and is now being carried into effect.There may be certain legal diffienl- ties in the way, but it is anticipated that these can be nvercome and the grentest, union church in Canada formed, The congregations of the Preaby- terian and Methodist Churches of Wawanesa, Manitoba, have united on the basis of union accepted by the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congre- vations] Churches, to take effect ann.This also ia considered to ha an advanced step toward the ultimate goal and an example, for the chureh i= a large one, and the pastor is offered $1500 a year and free for nished houan, Other smaller churches in the weat, particularly those of the Presbyterian and Methodist denominations, are linking together under the arrangement made by the General Union Committee, It is likely that definite action wil) be taken this year by the Preshyter.ian General Assembly on the ques tion of union, and also by the Methodist General Conference.Married at Port, The Asiana, which ar-ived recently in Montreal from Bouthampton, brought fifty brides-to-be, most of whom were et and married by there finnees daring the day.Already this season over one thousand engage\u2018 young women have landed here, most af them marrying upon arrival and setting out with their husband for the west.Many of the husbands are

say itis the diplomats who sway the sceptre, Now, by an experience of the writer, it could still be possible to have one party fill both qualifications.The trip which he was able to take into Northern Onturio was managed by the Canadian Press association.It was an excursion of three days, and was said to be tor the purpose of seeing the mines, But the first and lust mornings were spent at summer resorts.Now why ?Perhaps the first stop was for the purpose of making the downtrodden country editor desirous of spending some holidays in that country, when he could get the time and money (chiefly money), All men are supposed, at some time or olher, to Le go d bai.for wild-cat mine promoters, so it was possibly the intention of the railway company to whet the memory of the suckers to loc up their favorite mine, see if it was in existence and, if so, return to Lake Timagami and allow the shekels to flow into the ever- paying vein of summer resort dividends.Lake Timagwmi Is situated a night's ride north of Toronto.The railway winds in and out thru the hills with here and there small lakes, The first sight of Timagami is not impressive, It is situated amid a number of hills, bordered on one side by a bald hill 100 feet high and on the other side by gradually thickening forest-reserves, The lake is narrow, but it js not its width or length that makes it remarkable, but the number of its inlets.Every few rods the lake darts back into the land and forms a small land locked kay.This continues the whole way round and, according to the Grand Trunk folder, the shore line is 8000 miles in length, It may be so, but it sounds a good like the big fish stories the country is becoming noted for.There are several summer hotels among the islands and the summer PC pu- lation is nearly 2000.Such is the power of advertising, The forest is thick and abounds in game.It may safely be said, that Lake Timagami has a promising future in store for it for its situation Within easy reach of Toronto favors it.The Grand Trunk and the Ronocco Hotel company are doing their share, Algonquin Park Is commonly called the \u201cNational play-ground of Canada\u201d We had but scant time to see it, so it is impossible to do it justice.We passed thru the park for about two hours, The railway on hoth sides was currounded by thei gin forest, which, though not heavy, has such a heavy undergrowth that travelling is difficult, The lakes, with their wild fowl and the overshadowing hills, makes the panorama picturesque, A :top Was made at Highland Inn.This inn is situated on a lake, and is 2000 feet above sea-level, The lake winds into another, and others continue the chain, Algonquin park is not a summer resort, It is a true Canadian park \u2014good for summer and winter, In summer, hunting, fishing, bathing, boating, camping, make it attractive, while the snow-clad hills and vales of winter bring many to the park, where they delight in tobogganing, snowshoeing and sking.The fact that the reserve is, so far as the camper is concerned, endless and belongs to the country at large, makes it all the more popular, The camper can get a good site for his tent and cottages are to be found here and there, so that the park as a place for escaping the sumner heat is ideal.The Highland inn belongs to the Grand Trunk railway and is a high class hotel With moderate prices considering its service, It is always Wel'-filled Algonquin park was the last slop the special had scheduled, and u fast run of eigh: hours brought the party back to Toronto.The striking views on that \u2018back trip was the run along lake Simcoe.whose wide expanse, tinged purple by the dying sun, made a grateful contrast to the stoney hills of the north country we had Robert W, Sellar

GOING TO CAMP On June 28th 13 cadets left Huntingdon to go into camp at Farnham, We went to Mortreal by the G.T.R.and from the c'ty left on a special train from Windsor station for Parnham, which we reached at 1 p.m, The camp is extensive, 1200 acres.sandy and rolling, and the government has done a good deal to make it fit for a military camp, having put in waterworks, so there is plenty of water for washing, but if you want t, get a drink you have to go four acres or more to a well away from the tents, The first thing we did on arriving.was to put up three tents for the thirteen boys of Huntingdon and of four from Ormstown who joined us.That afternoon there wag nothing more to do so we went swimming in the river Ya- maska, took a shower bath, or played games.At night we had a base-ball game, after which a: had a good time.We went to our tents where a load of blankets had arrived, each gelt'ng two blankets, At 930 the bugle sounded lights out, Sunday morning the first thing we did was to roll up the wa.lof the tent, and at 7 o'clock we went to get our breakfust in the mess tent, At half-past ten everybody marched to the Y.M.C,A.tent where service was held.After that dinner of soup, meat and potatoes, with rice as desert, The afternoon was left to us to do as we pleased, For supper we had bread and jam, tea or coffec.In the evening we went again tu the Y.MC,A, tent, where instead of a service we had a stereopti- con lecture on Chili, At half-pa:t nine the bugle sounded again for lights out, Monday we were marched to the field.where we were drilled for about an hour and a half.After dinner, all boys 13 years and over Were marched to the rifle range, where we were taught how to use a gun, and in what position to lie down.The target was explained also.We were next marched to a place where were guns mounted on tripods, and ordered to aim at the target.Three men watched to sed if we were correct in our movements.The next move Was to a place where we shot some sortof adartat a target, about six inches away from the muzzle of the gun, After that practise we fired blank cartridges and then shot on the rifle range.The boys did not know that there were any prizes given for the best shot until Tuesday night, when they were given out.Each boy had seven shots, 28 points being the highest possible.Quite a number of these so-called gold medals were given away, each in a box, Inour bunch Willie Keir of Ormstown got one, having made 20 points out of the 28, After supper a base-ball game was played, Tuesday being Dominion day.Was observed as a holiday.The afternoon was given up to races and in the evening the prizes for them were given out.Three of them came to our bunch.\u2019 Wednesday we all were out on drill and were reviewed, We were set free at noon to do as we wished for the rest of the time, Thursday morning tents were taken down and put in their sacks.and a special train left at nine o'clock, Ours left at half- past ten and landed us in Montreal long before the time for leaving of the Huntingdon train.We expected to have been longer in camp, but the report was the allowance for the cadets was run out, Adam One Hundred Francs.McGillivray Knowles one of our well-known Canadian painters, tells an amusing story of a curious artist character, Stettler, from Belgium, whom he met in Paris.This artist was always hard up.He asked Knowles for a lnan of a hundred francs, which he was to pay back in a month.He got the money and at the appointed time paid it back.In two days back he came again.\u201cM\u2019sieu Knowles.T

building trades in Western Canada are having a hard time this summer through the tieing up of a great deal of building by the financial stringency.according to Mr Arthur Martel, a member of the

in dignity.Contrast, for instance, the ceremonial that Mr, Robert M.Milligan describes in \u201cThe Fetish Folk of West Africa,\u201d with the coronation of a British king.The king was chosen from among the people by the elders, and he was selected for his wisdom.The ceremonies of his enthronement were such that he required not only wisdom, but also courage, physical strerigth, and a superb digestion.The man's first intimation that he had been chosen by the elders was an onrush of the entire tribe\u2014not to do him honor, but to abuse and insult \u2018him in every possible way.They would hurl opprobious epithets at him, curse him, spit upon him, pelt him with mud, and beat him.For, they said, from this time on he could do all these things to them, and they would be powerless to retaliate.It was their last chance! They also reminded him of all his failings in graphic and minute particulars.If the king survived this treatment, he was then taken to the former king\u2019s house, where he was solemnly invested with the insignia of the kingly office in the shape of a silk hat.No one except the king was permitted to wear a silk hat.Following the inauguration ceremony, the people\u2019 came and bowed before the new king in humble submission, while they praised him as enthusiastically as they had before re- iled him.Then he was fed and feted or a week, during which time he was not permitted to leave his house, but had to receive guests from all parts of his dominion, and eat with them all.These ceremonies ended, he turned to the comparatively easy and common-place duties of his kingly office.This custom, like many others, has passed away under the influence of civilization.Exorcising Disease.Very curious methods were employed by the ancient Babylonians to exorcise disease.The sucking pig and kid played an important part in the remedies.The pig or kid was to be killed, eut up, and placed upon the sick man.he heart of the pig, which had been placed upon the sick man\u2019s heart, was to be held by him, and the pig\u2019s heart was to be as his heart, the blood as his blood, the flash as his flesh, and the pig was to be in his stead.The kid was dealt with in the same way, being placed upon the sick man.Medical Oase, A young doctor said to a girl, \u201cDo ou know, dear, I have a heart affection for you?\u201d \u201cHave you had it lung?\u201d she coyly inquired.«0h, yes; I feel that I will liver troubled life without youl!\u201d he fer vently responded.\u201cThen you had better asthma,\u201d she softly murmured.TITLED VICEROYS, Canadians Admire Aristocrats De clares London Writer.Stimulated no doubt br: the question asked in a Canadian paper and echoed in more than one-quarter on this side, as to the general assumption that the Governor-General must belong to the peerage, and why it should not be considered proper for Rideau Hall to be governed by a comnmoner, thereby setting an example of democratic simplicity for Canada, Miss C.De Thierry boldly states the case for the peer, or rather for his wife, in a recent article, \u2018\u2018Englishwomen and the Social S.:: of Imperialism.\u201d Those who have mingled and taken part in that side of the social life of London which centres around the \u2018\u2018overseas set,\u201d and have observed the natural nervousness on entering into a strange social circle, give place under the influence of English titled hostesses to a feeling of being perfectly at home, generally support her views.\u201cHow intimately society and politics are associated,\u201d she says, \u2018\u2018\u201cno society woman needs to be told.Who has not heard of colonials who have arrived in England rabid particular- ists and returned home Imperialists?Of Boers who came amongst us burning with race feeling and left us warm friends?Of French-Canadians who landed here without a thought beyond their own province and went back citizens of the Empire?They had been brought under the social influence of the capital, a form of education Disraeli considered essential to the statesman.\u2018It is a great mistake to suppose that the colonial \u2014 we must use the word till a better is coined\u2014is insensible tn the adventages of birth and rank, but what he will not do is to pay homage to them as rank.To impress him they must be associated with ability, virtue, sympathy, and high breeding.Her Excellency is the first lady in the land oversea by a right as unquestioned as the Queen\u2019s in England.The secret of Her Excellency\u2019s strength is the example she sets of giving personal service tn the community.She obeys the call of duty in leaving her home und friends, a crowded and vivid life in the very centre of the world\u2019s activities, and sometimes one or more \u2018of her children, to fill a place in a distant land in which her social relations must be lnrgely formal.Tt must be exile to her, and the people with whom her lot is cast are quick to now and respect the sacrifice.When, as is almost invariably the case, she finds pleasure in the new life and makes many friends, she is rendered homage, in general and whole-hearted devotion.For then she must add to social graces fine qualities of head and heart.The Imperial influence of an English lady who presides over Government House does not end there.Her time in any dominion is relatively short, her affection and interest in it when she returns home life-long.She is one of the most gracious ties formed by that crown as an Imperial institution.\u201d That last remark reminds me of the statement the other day of a prominent public man who expressed the opinion that Earl and Countess Grey had since their return from Canada been tireless in their efforts tn benefit the Dominion.Many Canadian girls I have met here have told me of how the associations formed when Earl and Countess Grey were in Ottawa have been renewed in London, and they have thereby been welcomed amd introduced to the courtly life of England, in which it has been a great pleasure for their titled hostesses to have them participate.Ages In Senate.Since the Senate came into the limelight in connection with the naval bill there Las been more than us.ua] interest exhibited in the members of the Upper Chamber.There are 53 Liberals and 30 Conservatives, with four vacancies soon to be filled.The Speaker, Hon.Col.Landry, is Conservative.There are five Senators from Toronto, all Liberals, being Sir George Ross, the leader in the Senate; Hon.J.K.Kerr, Hon.Robert Jaffray, Hon.G.A.Cox and Sir Lyman Jones.Hon.W.J.Macdonald of Victoria is the senior member, having been appointed Dec.13, 1871, but the oldest Senator is Hon.C.E.De Boucherville, CM.G., of Boucherville, Que., who is 92.The youngest is Hon.E.L.Girroir of Antigonish, N.8., who is only 41.The Senators divide as follows: 40 to 50 years .coveveinecne eee 4 50 to G0 YulTrs .icovveeirereninnnes 17 60 to 70 years 0.00 creuse 28 70 to BD years .\u2026.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026.\u2026esrecssrss 27 80 to 90 years .\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026esscanscce0e 5 90 and OVET L.2.000000 ac sec 0000 2 The average age of the Senate is a little over 62.Kingston Standard Moves.The Kingston Daily Standard the other day moved out of its offices at 67 Princess street, which it has oceu- pied.continuously for over three-quar- ters of a century.and has begun the publication of its newspaper in its new quarters, 177-179 Princess street, in the heart of the retail section.The Standard, which is now in its 103rd year, has outgrown the old quarters, which from an historical standpoint have been of much interest.It was in this building that Sir John A.Macdonald, representing Kingston, on \u2018numerous occasions received the election returns.and from the windows of this building also that he on mora than one occasion addressed the eleo- tors.Many political conferences have also been held there, Heart Exposed, Lived.Joseph Carey, whose case was regarded as unique by the medical profession, dicd in St.John, N.B., recently.Carey underwent an operation six years ago for lung trouble, and part of the left lung was removed.In performing the operation it was found necessary to remove several of the ribs, leaving the heart exposed.The beats of the heart could be seen pls 1ly through the thin tissue which covered that organ.A Crank In the Commons.Mr.Farmer-Atkinson was a curious psychological study.An astute man of business, he was founder and first president of the chamber of shipping of the United Kingdom.But in the house he proved a veritable \u201ccrank.\u201d One of his habits was to stalk In ghostly fashion from behind the chair, suddenly to utter some unexpected and irrelevant remark in a stage whisper into Speaker Peel's ear and then vanish.Poor Mr.Peél stood it patiently for awhile.At last, however, it got on his nerves.Old parliamentary hands remember the sensation that was caused one night when the speaker was obliged to appeal to the house for \u201cprotection\u201d against these pergist- ent annoyances, Soon afterward Mr.Farmer-Atkinson withdrew from pub lc life on grounds of ill health, and Westminster saw bim no more.\u2014Lon- don Dispatch, Round and Round.It seemed a very difficult thing to make little Bessie understand that the earth revolved round and round, One day she came in from her playing and sald: .\u201cMother, I belleve the earth does turn round.\u201d \u201cWhat Is It that has convinced you, dear?\u2019 asked the mother.\u201cI can see it whirl\u201d said Bessle, \u2018when I twist up my swing and then antwist.\u201d \u201cIsn't it you that whirls,\u201d asked the mother, \u201cinstead of the earth?\u201d \u201cBut.\u201d explained Beasle, \"it goes aft: er I stop.\u201d\u2014New York Post, BASE - BALL The second game in the Nationa!

Byron W.Allen, Jeweler When Columbus set out to reach India by sailing westward, he met with opposition and ridicule, Vie believed the carth to be round, Wise men held that it was flat- that Columbus was mad-that he would fall off somewhere if he departed from ordinary beliefs.But Columbus*belief found him a continent and made him blessed of memory.The Business World is flat to some men.Their profit bearing shores of Opportunity stretch only so fur as their grandfathers trod.Custom, superstition and apathy have set them confines which they may nol pass, For instanee, they believe the business year is a flat one- not an all year round of trade, with East joining West, with Spring merging into Autumn- but just two distant seasons, with sawed-off edges gaping into space, They confine activities to a Spring trade and to a Fall trade To them there is no interven ing continent with stores of waiting wealth.\u2018Their world is flat.They have not explored the mid-year months of Summer trade.June, July and August are never - never land.Surely conception of Summer as a \u201cdull\u201d season is fallacious as the delusion that the earth was flat, People have just as much money in the hot weather and spend quite as freely as in Spring and Fall.Granted that they are not buying skates and snow shovels ju August, yet they are buying staple articles.Futhermore, they have an eye to luxuries and comforts they are counting upon purchasing in the Fall.The modern Columbus has discovered this Summer trade-this golden West lying between the known continents of old beliefs.Departing from established habit, many have made their energies and their Advertising an all-year- round proposition.Keeping up Advertising during the Summer months not only links your Spring and Fall, but produces rich harvests from the Summer months themselves.An easier feeling has developed in the butter market which is attributed to the stock on spot being being much larger than a year ago, the crease in \u2018the make and the falling off in the demand from Vancouver and the west during the past few days, consequently the demand for the offerings at Cowans- ville to-day was not so good as it has been of late, and prices declined je per th, and at St Hyacinthe, which brings them down to about the same level as they were this date last year.The receipts of butter were smaller this week than last, and for the same week a year ago, which is said to be due to the increased demand for cream and milk for the manufacture of ice- cream.While mauling acrow whichit caught in Lammas park Ealing, a large tabby cat was attacked by eleven other birds and killed after a short and sharp conflict, which was witnessed by a number of people, Two men in an automobile travelling at a rate estimated at

behind at Corycll's Ferry: \u2018for the purpose of hastening forward any supplementary orders from Washington, wLeu Maxwell, and the Jersey \u2018militiamen, pressed forwnrd in an effort to retard the march of the enemy.From the reports of gcaunts we begun to understand what was occurring.Before dawn on the eighteenth of June the British army began leaving the \u2018city, crossing the Delaware at Gloucester point, and by evening the motley host, comprising Regulars, Hessinns, Loyalists, and a swarm of camp fol lowers, were halted near Haddenfleld, five miles routheast of Camden.The moment this knowledge reachod Washington, he acted.In spite of opposition from some of his leading ofli- cers, his on purpose remained stead- fact, and every preparation had already been carefully made for ener- etic pursuit.Our troops fit for service numbered less than five thousand men, many of these hastily gathered militia, sone of whom had never been under fire, Lut the warmth and comfort of thé summer time.together with the good news from France, had inspired all with fresh courage.What- vver of dissension existed was only umong the coterie of general officers, the men in the ranks being eager for battle, even though the odds were strong against us.There was no delay, no hitch in the premptness of advance.The department of the Quar- termaster-General had every plan worked out in detail, and, within two days, the entire army had crossed the river, and pushed forward to within a few miles of Trenton.Morgan, with six bundred men, was hurried forward to the reinforcement of Maxwell, and, relieved from my duties at the ferry, I was permitted to join his column.I know not when, during all my army life, I was more deeply impressed with the awful solemnity of war, than as 1 watched these volunteer soldiers land on the Jersey shore, and tramp away through the dust.In those ranks were sick and wounded scarcely able to keep up; occasionally one would crawl aside but the moment he was able would join some new body, and resume the march, They were animated by a stern purpose which yielded power.Such as these were not to be trifled with.Oth- erg might scoff at their ruggedness of ine, their carelessness of discipline, \u2018heir nondescript garments, and vari- aty of equipment, but to one who had seen such in battle\u2014who had been with them at Trenton, Brandywine, ind Germantown\u2014they were warriors 10t to be despised, stern, grim fight- ars, able to hold their own against îngland's best drilled battalions.I watched them file past\u2014 Wayne's, Var- rum\u2019s, Scott's brigades, and Jackson's und Grayson's regiments\u2014marking he brown, dust-caked faces, the eager \u2018yes, the sturdy, tireless tread, the vell oiled muskets.Boys, men, gray- eards, all alike exhibited in their aces the same expression.They were nticipating battle against a hated foe, nd counted hardship as nothing com- ared with the joy of conflict.Every tep brought them closer to the rapple of arms\u2014to that supreme test f strength, courage, endurance, for vhich they had left their homes.They aight be poorly drilled, fll-dressed, ariously armed, yet these were fight- 28 men.It was midnight when Morgan led us.p the steep bluff, and out upon the.andy road.We advanced silently, nd in straggling column through the arkness, passing the embers of amp fires for several miles, the re.umbent soldiery of other commands.leeping on \u2018he ground.At Hopewell, Vashington was holding another coun- il with his officeia.As we swung ast we could perceive his tall figu:e tanding In the glow of a fire, and 1ere arose from the lips of our men sudden, involuntary cheer, breaking trangely u;7n the solemn silence of 3e night.The group about him were tartled and looked about, and he aused a moment shading his eyes \u201cWhat troops are these?\u201d he asked, x is voice cutting across the distance.hundred answered him: \u201cMorgan's riflemen!\u201d \u201cGood, my lads!\u201d and even at that stance I could see his face brighten.There will be work for you at dawn.\u201d With & rolling cheer, echoing down ur ranks from front to rear, we an- wered, swinging the guns over our eads, as we swept forward into th ark night.There might be discus \u2018on, dissengion about that council fire, ut there was none in the hearts of 108e who were going out to die.Al 2ady rumors were flying about re- arding Lee's unwillingness to engage 1 battle.J saw him as I trudged ast, standing beside Wayne, the fire ght on his face, although his head +as bowed.Even to our cheers he ever once glanced up, and, as we assed beyond the radius of light, I aid my band upon the mane of Mor- \u2018an\u2019s horse.\u201cIs it true that Charles Lee thinks oe should let Clinton go without fight.ig?1 asked soberly.\u201cThat was ru- i0red at the ferry.\u201d \u2018\u201c\u201cTis enough,\u201d be answered, his yes upon the dark column of plod- ing men.\u201cAnd he

follow- #9 enough for a division.\"Twill be y work attending to them, and most \u2018¥ his troops are Dutch and Tories.\u201d By daylight we came up with the w Jersey militia, lying at rest along bank of the Millstone river, wait their turn to ford that stream, and Maxwell on the opposite sBore.where I stood 1 could see the \u201cin lines of Continentals spreading \u20ac lke & fan, as the skirmishers nd.éed up the opposite bluffs.Down Yumpled tank, men were strug \u2018 \"a light battery, snd sudden | \u2018 & ly in the press of figures I came upon Farrell.He was mud from head to foot, his face streaked with it, but he looked up with beaming eyes as I spoke his name, and our hands \u2018clasped.\u201cI thought you would be over there with Maxwell,\u201d he said, pointing across at the black dots, now clearly distinguishable in the glow of sunshine.\u201cI was left behind, and came up just now with Morgan,\u201d I replied.\u201cBut I am anxjous enough to be with my own fellows, What means that skirmish line, Farrell?Are we already in touch with Clinton?\" He swept the hair out of his cyes with his great fist.\u201cNo One knows exactly, but the British are not far off, and

Well, an hour ago he came here for a favor; It seems th> boy Is a son of Colonel Mortimer, of the queen's rangers.\" \u201cIndeed; Wayne repnrted the colonel killed In front of his lines.\u201d \u201cNot killed, but seriously wounded.The son asked permission to take him home to a place called Elmhurst near Laurel FH.\u201d \u201cI know the plantation, sir,\u201d I said, my interest causing me to Interrupt.\u201cIt {8 on the Medford road.\u201d \"Ah, you have met the lad, possibly, major,\u201d and he turned hls fuce toward me.\u2018The boy Interested me greatly.\u201d \u201cNo, sir; 1 endeavored to find him at Iee's headquarters, but failed.I have met his father and sister.\u201d \u201cA lovely girl, no doubt.\u201d \u201cTo my mind, yes, sir.\u201d His grave face lighted with a sudden smile.\u201cT sometimes Imagine, Colonel Hamilton,\u201d he said quietly, \u201cthat this unhappy war might be very pleasantly voncluded if we could only turn our young cfficers over to the ladies of the cnemy.Would such a plan meet with your approval, major?\" \u201cI should prefer it to the present method.\u201d \u201cNo doubt, and Mistress Mortimer?\u2014But let that pass, untll we hold council of war upon the subject.Just how we shall have to be content with the more ordinary plans of campaign.I gave the boy permission to remove his father, and they are upon the road ere this.T would that all the British wounded had homes close at hand.You have informed the major of his mission, 1 presume, Hamilton, and there is nothing I need add.\u201d \u201cHe understands clearly, sir.\u201d \u201cThen I will complete the letter.Be seated, gentlemen.\u201d He wrote for several minutes stead- fly, once pausing to consult a map, signed the paper, and enclosed It in another sheet, across\u2019 which he scratched a line of address.\u201cYou will deliver this tp General Arnold In person, major; do not spare horse-flesh.You were jp the action today?\u201d \u201cWith Maxwell's brigade.\u201d \u201cThat was a hard fight along the stone wall; you cams out unhurt?\u2019 \u201cA slight bayonet wound, sir; nothing to incapacitate me from duty.\u201d \u201cVery well; take ten dragoons as escort.Hamilton will write you an order.1 have told Arnold our victory 1s practically complete.Clinton may slip away in the night, for he {s a wily old fox, but he has lost his power to injure us in the Jerseys.I hope to bottle him up before morning, so that any retreat wiil be impossible, but even if he succeeds in getting his army to the transports at Sandy Hook, he has lost prestige, and the Victory is ours.Good-bye, major, and the Lord guard you on your journey.\u201d Ten minutes later, mounted on a ngy sorrel, my dragoon escort trot.ng hehing, I rode south on the / Plainsboro road, as swiftly as its ters rible condition would warrant.The evidences of war, the wrecks age of battle, were everywhere.Several times we were compelled to leap fhe stone walls to permit the passage of marching troops being hurrled to some new position; several batteries passed us, rumbling grimly through the night, and a squadron of horse galloped by, the troopers greeting us with shouts of inquiry.We took to the flelds, but, as there seemed no end to the procession, I turned my horse's head eastward, confident we were already beyond the \u2018British rear-guard, and struck out across country for another north and south road.We advanced now at a gwift trot, the sound of our horses\u2019 hoofs on the soft turf almost the only moise, and, within an hour, came again to parallel fences, and a well travelled road.This was the road running a mile, or so, to the west of Elmhurst.It led as straight as any, toward Philadelphia, but whatever stragglers the British army had left behind would be found along here.However, they would probably be scattered fugitives, unwilling to interfere with as strong an armed purty as this of mine.If I was alone it would be safer to turn aside.Then, it was a strong temptation to me to pass thus close to Elm- hurst.It would be after daylight when we reached there; I might even get a glimpse across the apple orchard of the great white house.Would Claire be there?It seemed to me quite probable, as Eric was taking the wounded \u2018colonel home for pursing.The girl's face rose before me against the black night, and my heart beat fast.When 1 came back, 1 would ride to Elm- hurst\u2014surely she would be there then.The sergeant touched my arm.\u201cPardon me, sir, but there are horsemen ahead.\u201d © \u201cIndeed?I was lost in thought, Conroy.Coming this way?\u201d \u201cNo, sir, they seem to be traveling south slowly.I noticed them first as we turned the corner back there; 1 could see outlines against the sky.\u201d \u201cHow large a party?They form merely a lumping shadow to my eyes.\u201d \u201cNot more than three or four, sir, with a covered rig of some kind.They're halted, now; heard us coming, 1 reckoa.\u201d I could perceive the little group, but merely as a black smudge.Then a mounted figure seemed to detach itself from the darkness, and advance toward us, \u201cHalt your men, sergeant,\u201d I sald quietly.\u201cI'll ride forward and learn what the fellow wants.\u201d MARSHMALLOWS.\u2018The Culinary Possibilities to Be Found in These Sweets.The housekeeper who has not tested the culinary possibilities of marshmallows has little idea of their many uses, For emergencies a tin box of these inexpensive candles is a good usset fur the supply closet.Should the supply of eggs give out when filling or frosting is wanted for a dark layer cuke marshmallows may be substituted.While the cake is still hot place marshmallows torn in halves between the two layers and also on top of Lhe cake.Replace the cake in the oven for a few moments until there is an even layer of partinlly melted marshmallows over the cake.For the afternoon tea tnble the plainest of little cakes topped with marshmallows and placed for a moment in a slow oven are transformed into French confections.Bpice cake baked in a thin sheet and cut jo small rounds of the size of a marshmallow is an io- expensive substitute for the small fancy cakes of the caterer.Ton each little circle with a balf marshmallow , and partially melt in a slow oven.Decorate with a single nut meat, half a cherry or a cross marking of choco- lute or colored frosting.If the material for a frujt salad is scant cut marshmallows in quarters, using a well floured pair of scissors.Equal parts of grape fruit, English walnuts and marshmallows mixed with half the quantity of diced pineapple make a salad combination well suited to a French dressing flavored with wine.Ordinary chocolate ice cream Is easily transformed into an apparently expensive novelty by adding a plentiful supply of quartered marshmallows when the cream is half frozen.If the chocolate is rich and dark these dull white particles make an effective showing and also add an unusual flavoring.KITCHEN NEATNESS.Food and Drink May Become Dangerous Purveyors of Disease.Scrupulous neatness should always be observed in keeping, handling and serving

blushes when the rain falls upon it.The mysterious and beautiful glow of color which it assumes in a rainstorm baffles description.When the cool rain drenches a tree a changing of color is noted.Gradually, yet unmistakably, the green hue gives way to pink.In a few minutes the green fades from sight.Only in a few half bidden spots beneath lower branches and on its trunk is there a tinge of green to be seen.The tree 18 ag pink as the check of a healthy girl.After an hour or more, when the shower passes over, the wonderful tree assumes its familiar green once more.As it is changing back to emerald the spectator suddenly realizes the secret of the phenomenon.Certain tiny insects and not the tree itself change.These peculiar parasites are possessed of the power of chameleons.Guarding King George.Though the days have gone by when the monarch was protected during the hours of slumber by an attendant sleeping in a bed drawn across the door of his bedchamber, King
