in the application of manure when a boy in his father\u2019s nursery.He tells the story, as follows, in American Gardening: We purchased from a tannery a large pile of compost, hair, ashes, lime and other refuse, with enough bark in layers to make all pile up weil.Inthe winter wo drew this on land devoted to nursery and other crops, usually plowing it under in the spring.Sometimes on fall plowed land we would incorporate the mixture with the soil, by the use of the cultivator cr sbare harrow, in the spring.One of the things that vividly impressed me as we dug trees and plants from soil thus manured was the way in which rootlets wonld lay hold of congenial bits of plant food.The tufts and felted knots of hair would be the attraction to a mass of small roots.This is illustrated in the accompanying sketch, in which a a a show bunches of hair.This thing was seen uot only in the case of seedling and tree roots, but also in those of strawberry plants, which lie much nearer the surface.A lesson to be drawn from this is that the plowing in of manure as a method of applying it should not yield to surface applications in any marked degree.The avidity with which roots scek ont and lay hold of particles of manure in the case stated showed to me that there can be no mistake in putting the plant food right where it will be needed.With the surface and application of manure in the fall and winter there is often great loss of fertility through escape by leaching and surface drainage daring thaws in the winter.If it be drawn to the plat and be kept in piles until just before spring plowing or cultivating, such loss is not ap- preciuble, The question of the comparative merits of surface manuring and the plow- 5 TnL m7 CP LEE PAR te NT 4 J A bs NS See È- SES BA NS a TIEN NN A == SN A LESSON IN MANURING.ing in of manure may depend somewhat on the crop also.It is plain in the case of shallow rooted crops, like lettuce, radishes, onions, strawberries, etc., that the manure is not wanted at the same level as with parsnips, canlifiower and other deeper rooters.Then, again, sur- fuce manuring may, as in the case of strawberries, serve un excellent purpose as a mulch iu keeping the soil cool and in preserving moisture, Another thing, all crops do not need the same amount of manure, It is a poor plan, for instance, to be lavish in the use of manure on potatoes and then slight it on onions and celery.Among crops that do the better for high feeding I would place strawberries, celery, onions, lettuce, spinach, beets, radishes, cabbage, cauliflower, squashes and cucumbers.Of such, the extent of the crop is almost measured by the amount of manure, and 80 to 40 tom per acre each year is none too much.The bush small fruits need less manure than do strawberries, while vegetables, potatoes, peas, parsnips, carrots, beans, tomatoes and melons get along very well with one-half the manure called for by the others named.Sagar Maple Trees.The demand the last few years for maple sugar has been such as to warrant jmproved methods.The maple sugar worker of today is practical and modern.If he is the owner of a bush of 500 or 600 trees he can clear all the way from $300 to $500 a season.This is more than threo times as much as the owner of 25 years ago made during the same period.It is claimed that a good maple tree will pay for itself in a couple of tappings, and in the course of a few years it will pay for itself in sugar over and above what it would bring for timber many times over.The consequence in, farmers are no longer anxious to cut down their bard maples and sell them for timber.In planting a sugar orchard care is taken to select only the broad leat hard maple and straight young trees, trees sprung from the seed as often as possible, and not saplings grown from an old stamp.These make the best sugar producers, according to an authority which tells that there are many degroes of maples, hybrids between the soft maple and the hard maple.They are all good sap producers, but the sap produces but little sugar.A soft maple tree will deliver twice asmnch sap as 8 hard maple, but it will not make One- quarter as much sugar, and what it does produce is of inferior quality.Crops For Green Meauring.Country Gentleman says: \u2018We bave used crimson clover, peas and barley for cover crops with great success.Barley stands the hot weather of August ani September better than oats.We have also used rye to a limited cxtent.Thes various crops may be sown in the corn or on tho inverted barley or oat stubble and either rye or wheat drilled in on the potato ground, although the field may not be clear until the frst to the middie of Octobes.\u201d\u2019 STRAWBERRY CULTURE.A New Method For Which Many Merits Are Claimed.The new strawberry culture, by which L T.Farmer of New York and L B.Pierce of Ohio and some others have bad satisfactory results is attracting attention.By this new method, instead of setting the plants into a permanent | bod at once, they are put in a small bed close together, about 20 plants to the linear foot, then shaded from tho direct rays of the sun for a few days.Here is the whole story ag told in The Farm sud Fireside: A furrow about 8 inches deep in made with a spade, the plants are trimmed of superfluous leaves, their roots shortened to 4 inches (Fig.1), then ect closely to the land side, bauling earth up to the roots, and thus filling the furrow.The little rows are made about a foot apart, FIG! IMPROVED STRAWBERRY CULTURE.except once in awhile when a row is omitted for a path, to facilitate moving about then in watering and spraying.Fine munure is put between rows for a mulch and to add fertility, The plants are kept in this bed about a month or six wecks.Mennwhile they are watered as often as necessary, and sprayed with bordeaux inixture once a week to keep them free from blight.When ready to set out, the ground is soaked about the plants, sud the latter are taken up in pans and carried to the field.While in this bed new roots start out ou all sides of the old ones (Fig 3, These cling tothe soil, aud when tran.planted earth ia taken nloog with the plauts, aud they grow right along.The advantages claimed for this plan are as follows: If you set plants out permanently in April, the ground cannot be properly prepared because it is too wet.Set out so carly, they apparently stand still and become thoroughly infested with leaf blight, but the weeds do not fail to grow.The new method peruiita the plowing of the patch and its working over with harrows and cultivators for about six wecks before setting the plants in the permanent pateh.All weed seeds ure destroyed, and if the land is infested with grubs they are brought to the surface, where birds pick them up.The time of setting tho plants in permancut beds is about June 1 in New York state.The other advantages of the plan are ease of apraying, the plants all being concentrated in a small area, and the transfer of the work of setting the plants in permanent patch from the busy time of early spring to that of comparative Jeisure in eariy June, A man will \u2018heel in\u2019 or set closely together 10,000 plants in a day, while to set out permanently an ordinary man can handle only about 2,000 plants.Starting Flower Seeds.Sow the seed of hardy annuals outdoors as soon as the soil is warm, dry and friable.Some hardy annuals, like poppies, are best planted in the fall, anys Gardening, authority for the following: The half hardy annuals are best started in hotbeds or greenhouses in flats or pots and in light soils, but there are some of these that can be sown outdoors by waiting until warmer weather, say the latter partof May: but their time of blooming ia delayed over those grown under glass.Hardy and half bardy perennials that bloom the firat year from secd have to be treated as tender annuals in order to get them strong enough to bloom.Hardy perennials of the more common kinds, having largo sceds, can be sown in tho open border at any time from April to June or in the fall, but those with small seed had better be sown in a hotbed or cold frame, using in all cases where the seed is emull a fine soil.While many porennials germinato us quickly as au annual, some require a much longer time, some even a year.Apples In Paper Lined Barrels.An exchange tells abont a Michigan fruit grower who stored some apples in barrels lined with newspapers and some in the usual way.After a long storage it was found that the apples in the paper lined barrels were in fine, sound condition, while those in the unlined packages were more or less decayed.Diseased Peach Trees.Farm Journal advises no loss of time in grubbing out and burning every old, diseased peach tree on the farm.One tree with \u2018\u2018yellows\u2019\u2019 may infect the whole orchard.Those trees which bore premature fruit last summer on one or more limbs should be destroyed, as they have \u2018yellows.\u2019 04d Mention.\u2018When a florist wishes to force a hardy June rose, he ripens the wood by withholding water, prunes severely and allows the plant to feel the frost.On being taken into the greenhouse the rose immediately starts op in business.The yellow flax (Linum trigynum) forms a very useful plant for window or small conservatory, owing to its abundance of successful bloom.The queen of violots, und withal the most difficult to grow, is Marie Louise.Tho Brandywine strawberry from Dolaware is gnining popularity on ao- count of its productiveness .CARE OF CHICKENS.Hew They Should Be Fed te Produes the Best Results.By the time chickens are 6 or 8 weeks old, says a successful ponltryman, the principal dangers of chickenhood are pased, und painstaking wutchfulness and care may be somewhat relaxed.We must feed carefully and \u2018\u2018feed for growth''\u2014i.e., we must supply nourishing, strengther.ing food, which will build up a well nourished body, healthy, strong aud vigorous, with stores of strength to lean upou when the drain of egg production has come and the chill of autumn and cold of winter are to be resisted.The breakfast is bread crumbs, continued until they ure about 10 weeks old, when they are graduated into the morning mash.About 10 o'clock they have a feed of the coarsest ontmoal, moistened, about half past 1 o'clock a light feed of cracked wheat and about 5 o'clock whole wheat or cracked corn\u2014 one, one day; the other, the next.Twice na weck we have fresh meat (butchers\u2019 trimmings) cooked and chopped, which is mixed with the conrsest oatmeal (about half and half) for the second feed.We have also a bone cutter, and twice or three times a week the chicks have a good time wrestling and tumbling over each other in their eagerness to get the fresh cut bone.Not having a bone cutter, we should mix some megt meal into the moistened bread crumbs for breakfast, and about three times a week we sprinkle in a pinch of Sheridan's condition powder as a condiment to promote digestion and good health.The rule is to feed only what the chicks will cat up clean and quickly, but we break over the rule so far as the last feed is concerned, and the boy goes around a second time, 20 to 80 minutes after feeding, and if the food is all eaten up clean three or four handfuls more are put down, so that all shall have a chance to \u201cfill up\u2019 for the night.Ife handful is left unenten, it quickly dis appears in the morning, and aa it is always dry grain it does not sour, and there is no danger from leaving a little, Fresh wator is supplied three times » day and practically is always by them, so they can drink as they choose.Grit is also always by them, and ground oyster shells are given them about twice a week.We study to promote the com: fort and well being of our chicks, believing that it pays us to do so.The full basket in December, Jaunary and February, whey ezgs bring top prices, is being plauued for in this good care and feeding.A Feed Trough.An inexpensive feed trough for fowls and one upon which they cannot stand is mado of a picce of board 6 inches wide aud 8 foot 1034 inches long.That is nailed securcly to two \u2018feet,\u2019 which are piecos of 2 by 4 scantling a foot long each on the bottom, but scarfed off tc about 7 or 8 inches ou top.These are set about 5 inches in from the ends.The end pieces are 7 inches high, 6 inches wide at base, and narrow to 234 inches at top, tie sides being perpendicular for 13 inches and then varrowing.The ends aro nailed to the bottom board, and the top strip, of 234 iuch furring, is inserted between tho ende and nailed, this last point being tc guard \u2018Against the nails drawing out when the trough is lifted by tho top, which serves as a handle.Smooth it against tearing the feathers of the birds.Good clear laths nailed along the sides and to the end pieces make a sufficient side guard to the trough, projecting three-quarters of an inch to an inch above it, which is ample protection for the food put upon it.When this trough is intended for outdoor use, a quartet inch hole is bored in each corner to allow the water to run off during a rain.To Beginners In Poultry.Select carefully your breeder from whom you wish to purchase, inquire into his r~putation and standing, and when you decide to send him your money do not expect too much.Be reasonable in ycur demanda If you wish a show bird {it to tuke a prize, do not expect to obtain one for $5.There are cases where this sain may buy a winner for a small show, but they ure rare, you want strong, healthy, vigorous stock, you cannot buy it for 50 or 75 cents unless under extraordinary circumstances.There are bargains offered at such fignres occasionally.Good stock of known strains costs money, and it is worth the price.For example, a pullet bought in the fall and fit to lay is not dear at $2 if sho comes from a known strain of egg producers.She will lay over $2 worth of eggs her firat season and givo you besides many good chickens.A cockerel for a breeder should bring from $3 to $5, depending upon his strain, health and vigor.Cheap, inferior stock is never cheap at any price and will cost more for feed generally than it is worth.\u2014Exchange.As to Quality.\u2018We shall never bo insured a first clam article until the consumer demands it and refuses to accept anything else.Sc long as there is no radical kick against limed or cold storage eggs being delivered as the fresh article, so long will dealers palm off the poorer and cheaper and charge for the richer and dearer.A knowledge of the source and nature of distinct flavors in eggs, an well as in butter, will bs of material service in protecting from frand and insuring a choice, fresh product.To neglect this is unjust to oneself; to protect is one\u2019s highest duty.Demand fresh eggs, pay for the same and then charge back for every one proving faulty.This in itself will bring dealers to terms, make them more critical and insure botter egg fruit for the table 20 matter what the fom ta which it comen \u2014\u2014_e \u2014\u2014 + The Crowning Point Of Man is his HAT.You can get a very bee 53 coming HAT cheap at THE OLD HUNTER STAND HERE ARE FACTS The undersigned haw now on hand the largest and Best assortment of Concords, Open and Top Carriages, Family Carriages, Carts, Double Wagons, Milk Wagons That was ever shown In Huntingdon: at prices that defy competition.Call and vee as my work will bear inspee- tion.I am still manufacturing to order, anything from a Wheelbarrow to the finest Phacton at the OLD STAND, PRINCE STREET JAMES A.MILLAR, HUNTINGDON.JOIN FINDLAY, MERCHANT TAO, AND.GENTS OUTFITTER.A full line of Gents' Furnishings always in stock.Fine Suits made to order, qualit and fit guaranteed at prices which defy competition.Readymade Clothing 1 bave a fine line of Readymade Suits from #4 to #88, which can\u2019t be beat.Bioycle Suits in all styles Bioycle Boots & Shoes Inspection solicited: no trouble to show guods.J.FINDLAY.COLUMBIA BICYCLES, unequalled, tn pprouched.100 to all alike.\u201896 Models.$85.HARTIORDS, hy the same makera, second only to Columbia, $75, $60, $50, $45.The phrase, \u201cAu gocdasn Columbia,\u201d lux long served tointroduce # new wheel, which is in effect using the C.an the standard by which the merits of others is mensured The 97 Columbia ins G important fen- tures, no one of which is in any other wheel, the chief of which in the simple crank-shaft device, which is sceond only to the pneumntic tive in improvements, Alno, second-hand wheels, E.A.McNAUGHTON, Agent, Province of Quebec, School Mun'cipality of the Township of Godmanchester In the Counties of Huntingdon and Chuteauguay.TEACHERS WANTED Applications for the position ol teachers for the following schools, situate in the Township of Godman- chester, will be received up till Saturday, the fifth day of June now next, at two o'clock in the afternoon, by the undersigned sceretary-treasurer, at his office in the County Building in the village of Huntingdon, to-wit: Dis, No 1 Salary 822 per month for 10 mos 0 xl 16 D pÙ D 3 0 JR \u2018 \u201c \u201c 6 3 \u201c 20 * PO \u201c 6 \u201c 17 * \u201c 0\u201c te 7 \u201c 18 * oe 8 \u201c 8 \u201c 18 * .\u201c \u201c 9 \u201c JR +6 \u201c \u201c 10 eo 18 \u2018* CT \u201c 4 1 \u201c 18 \u201c 6 4 Applicants will please state qualifications, grade of diploma, and where obtained.All schools will open on the 16th Aug., 1897.: By order of the Board.CHAS.DEWICK, Secretary-Treasurer Board of School Commissioners Township of Godmanchester.l\u2019ost-office address Drawer C Buntingdon, Que.wn Province of Quebec, 1 : District 49 Beauharnois.$ No 6137 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT , IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF HUNTINGDON Wednesday, April 28th, 1897 Jonathan Carson, of the township of Franklin, in the County of Hunting- don, and District of aubarnois, farmer, Plaintiff vs.Moise Itobert and Napoleon D'Amour, formerly of the Village 0f St Antoine Abbe, in the County of Huntingdon and District of suharnois, but now residents of the United states of America, Defendants The said defendants are ordered to appear within two months.WM.HASSAN, Clerk of said court.MCCORMICK & CLAXTON Attoratys for Flaiatifl.| A SUCCESSFUL OAT CROP.The Proparntion ef Soil-Commeorcia! Fors tilisers Drilled In- Change of Seed.The unwise practice that has s0 largely prevailed among farmers as à class, and that has contributed to so great au extent in the diminished yields of this importaut produot, has been that the oat crop, after all others are occupying the choicest and most productive portions of the farm, ie the latest sown not only, but is destined to struggle for existence in soil least adapted to its a sod bed following a grass crop or turf pasture ecldom give guod results, bus grown as one of the orups of a regular four year rotation, following corn, po- tatocs, benns, etc, seems the most favorable course to pursue, according to a weatern New York farmer who writue aa follows to Rural New Yorker: After a long experienco in oat cnl- ture, it has been learned that carly and thorough preparation of the soil posics- sing à fair degree of fertility, good clean seed sown with a drill at the rato of two bushels per acre, as early in the season us the soil ia found to work in a light and friable condition, are factors that cannot be omitted if success is to bo expected.It hms also been learned that no crup responds more readily to a moderate application of commercial fertilizers drilled into the soil at the tine the sced isnown.Aftor seeding, the ground should be well rolled, thu firming the woil, inducing early growth of the plants not only, but it also adde much to tho enss and pleasure in running the binder at the time of harvest.Care should be taken that this crop in not allowed to become overripe.Heavier, brighter and more nutritious grain is secured and the straw is made more valuable aud appetizing by harvesting at a period when much of the straw is apparently quite green, the precaution boiug taken not to have the bundles so large as to prevent curing properly for housing or stacking, as the case may be.Nor ia it essential, as advocated by many, that an occasional change of seed is roquired for best results.And I may state that for nearly a half century I have grown each year continuously \u2014 with the exception of one year\u2014a mixture of the same two varieties of oats that have gained for me a favorable reputation us a grower of this special orop.Fertilisers For Tebacos, Under the auspices of the Connectiout station cottonsced meal, cotton hull ashes, linseed meal, castor pomace, nitrato of soda, double sulphate of potash and magnesia, carbonate of potash, doublo carbonate of potash aud magnesia, dry ground fish, tobacco stems, wood ashen and several brands of fertilizers were tested in various combinations, and sta- blo manure alone.The yields of unfor- mented tobacco and the comparative fire holding capacity of the tobacco grown on the different plats are tabulated.In the gross yield of cured leaf and of wrapper leaf, castor poinace was supori- or to cottonsesd meal.Where one-half the nitrogen in an application of 310 poundn of nitrogen in the form of castor pomace was replaced by nitrogen in nitrate of soda the total yield of wrapper leaf was groater.An to potash fertilisers, the largest gros yields followed applications of high grade sulphate, both with and without lime.The largest yield of wrappers was from plats manured with carbonate of potash and the double aul- phate of potash and magnesia.The fire holding capacity \u2018vas least in tobacco manured with high grade sulphate, followed by that fertilized with low grade sulphate.The plats dressed with flsh and nitrate of soda, fish and double sul- phato of potash and with stable manure gave the smallest yields, Fertilisers on Garden Crops.In a report from the Massachusetts station a general resume is given of field experiments begun by the stato station in 1801.The crops in 1806 upon which the different forms of nitrogen and potash were tested, wero onions, sweet corn, beann and tomatoes.Noten and tabulated yields per plat are given for each crop and summaries for crops raised for several years in muccomsion.The following conclusions are drawn from the sminmarized data: Sulphate of potash in connection with nitrate of soda han given in every case but ono (onions) the beat results, Nitrate of soda as nitrogen source has yielded in every case, without reference to the form of potash, the best returns.Sal- phate of ammonia as nitrogen source, in connection with muriate of potash an potash source, has given thé least satisfactory returns.The influence of the difference in the general character of the weather, whether normal or dry, during suceceding seasons on the yield of crops has been greater than that of the different fertilizers used upon different plats during the aame season.Convenient tock Bern.Here is tho plan of a Michigan stock- man for a stock barn

STALLS POTATO CULTURE, Avssstech Methods Explained by a Maine Farmer- Price Psssibliities.There is a vast difference between the manner of cultivating potatoes in Maine from that practioed in the older sections of the country.A correspondent writing in Tho Now England Homestead from Aroostook county tells all about this difference.Hore ia what he writos cou- corning the subject: Moat of the sced is planted with » i plauter and soon after the plants a r growth and development.Oats sown on - 5 \u2018 » ped in sight the horse hoe in started and | about an inch of soil in thrown over the | young planta.The object of this is to kill millions of weeds which have start- ! od.It alo Lreaks the crust and com- prences to form the hill or ridge, as all potatoes are raised in drills.If the reed was covered with the horse hoe, just before the plants break ground a pole about 19 feet long, with a chain fastened to aach ond, and forming a loop back of the pole, in drawn length- wire of the rows by s horse attached to the middle of the pole.It will sweep four rows at a time and remove an inch or two of soil from the tops of the rows, which, together with the small weeds which may havo started, is brushed between the rows.Then in afew days the horse hoo is used and a little dirt put over tho potatoss.The cultivator is kept running.In thin way work of keeping the weeds down is reduced to a minimum, Of course the machine drope the seed, but if covered with a horse hoe they must bo dropped by hand, and in duiug it many farmers and their sons have be- como very expert.A half bushel basket is slung by a strap around the neck and under the loft arm.With the left hand in the busket and used in passing the need to the right hand, the sued is deposited in the row in almost a steady niream, The Homestead, while reporting plenty of old potatoes in sight, in contemplating price possibilities during the remainder of the crop year, saya: \u201cIt must not be forgotten that farmers in many sections are feeding potatoes to live stork very liberally, Furthermore, that with the advent of warm spring weather moro or less rot in stored atocka is discernible.In a word, while

quarts of herd's grass and a bushel by weanure of uncleaned northern redtop per acre, and sometimes this is not enough.Experience has taught me that if we would reap bountifally we most sow bountifuily.Ithink that s piece heavily seeded down and the soil well filled with grass roota will stand the dry weather better than one that is lightly seeded.Part of my land is a clay subsoil and part sandy and gravelly.1 have the best success by putting on a good cost of barnyard manure, using from 3!g to 8 busheln of onta per acre and sowing with grass sced as described above, Fertilisers on Cora and Rye.Co-operative experiments with fertilizers on corn were carried out on three farms in the state, and the results in two cases ara reported, in which the yields were larger where either muriate of potash or nitrate of soda wan applied.At the station the yield of rye where barnysrd manure or complete commercial fertilizers were employed was in- orcaned, and white mustard sown July 81, after the rye, made the largest growth on plata that had previously received applications of phosphates.Haphasard Jottings.It ie stated that pearl milleta are too late to mature seed at the

Liberals have swept the province, and from being in a minority of 22 they are now in a majority of 25.Premier Flynn has not only lost power but probably his seat, as has one of his ministers, Beaubien.The overthrow is decisive, and Marchand will enter office with the strongest following that any premier has had since the days of Chauveau.That he may be enabled to use it wisely and give the province a thrifty and clean government is the earnest hope of every true Liberal.His strength will enable him to dispense with office-seeking and favor seeking supporters, and the danger of any of the old Mercier following getting their hands into the treasury ought 10 be remote indeed.The causes that have led to what is practically a constitutional revolution are many.First, was the dissatisfaction with the administration.That deBoucherville did well no Liberal can seriously dispute, but his tenure of office was brief, and on his leaving the cabinet, jobbers in loans and trafficers in railway subsidies had it pretty much their own way.Mr Flynn was very boastful of his business methods, but he could get few to admire them, and it will be the duty of the new government to undo all that is possible of what he has done.While to get rid of an administration that had the flavor of Chapleauism in its every act, told with the electors, it was not the chief cause for their decisive verdict of Tuesday.The feeling pervaded the province that it had become necessary to repeat the lesson of last year.That victory had been minimized and misinterpreted by the Conservatives.They alleged it was not to be accepted as Quebec's en- dorsation of Laurier\u2019s attitude on the Manitoba school question, that it was à catch-vote due to Laurier\u2019s personal popularity.The sentiment in the parishes was that the Liberals had to reaffirm their political independence on the school question, and they did it on Tuesday.Whoever now holds that Quebec does not endorse the settlement made at Winnipeg speaks against palpable proof to the contrary.The vote of Tuesday indicates that the new spirit that pervades Quebec shows no decadence.It is strengthening and spreading with the lapse of time, and they who sagely foretold of reaction,\u2014 that the old state of affairs would be restored, of electors dictated to and members held in thrall,\u2014are like the seals that cling to the shore ice that skippers tell us at present jam the gulf of St Lawrence, to be helplessly left behind by the rush of the rising tide that sweeps past them.The French Canadian of today is not the habitant of twenty or even ten years ago.He is for progress and independence as personified and illustrated in his chosen leader, Laurier, and he will take no backward step.HOTES ON TRE NEWS OP TAR WERK Business is being quietly and rapidly pushed at Ottawa, and there ie à prospect of prorogation the second week in June.The supplies are taking up most of the time and when they have been disposed of the tariff will be taken up, and eonsidered item by item.Manufacturers have been urging for changes by deputation and memorial, giving evidence that they do not regard the reductions made as trifling.To expedite business, ft looks as if the government would drop ita electoral and other bills for the session.\u2018The only debates of public interest have been those over dismissals.Mr Blair happily hit off the style of Sir Charles Tupper, who had, in ponderous and solemn fashion, dealt with the dismissal of & canal- man.Mr Blair said Sir Charles always indulged in superlatives.There was nothing ordinary for him.It was of the \u2018gravest importance\u2019 and the \u2018stmost significance,\u201d and the \u2018pro- Soundest interest,\u2019 and the \u2018moet ez- treme gravity,\u2019 until everybody was lost in the immensity of bis language.He discharged his artillery at every fig he saw, and his sposch was full of oound and fory.Within the past fortaight several alleged, to the new tariff.The coolness with which the proprietors of these factories set up a claim to 30 per cent.protection and more would be refreshing in the dog days.That farmers have been designed by lrovi- dence to pay them tribute is au accepted doctrine with these gentlemen.One of them, in speaking of the closing of his barbed-wire works, is reported by the Montreal Gazette to have sald: \u201cThat in justice to all the manufacturers of this article, if the government find it necessary to wipe the industry out, they ought to indemnify the proprietors for the loss of the machinery rendered useless.\u2019 When the manufacturers begin to return to the farmers the undue profits they extorted out of them during wome 18 years every time they bought barbed wire, the government may consider thelr counter-claim for useless machivery.Among the bills that have passed the commons is one providing for the extension of the Canada Atlantic from Lacolle to Itouses Point.The passing of an order-in-council at Quebec authorizing that the guarantee of the province be given for 20 years to the payment of the interest on over 8 million dollars of bonds to be issued by the Atlantic and Superior railway company is attracting attention.The company is, in reality, the old Bay of Chaleurs organization, which, in the days of Mercier, got such an unsavory reputation from paying toll on its subsidies to Pacaud.The company represents that the province runs no risk in guaranteeing the interest on its bonds, as it will put a sufficient sum in its hands to pay all demands.How it will do so does not appear, as it has no capital, and the enemies of the project declare it can only find funds to do so by taking part of the money to be realized from the sale of the bonds, which would be paying bondholders interest out of their own money.Why the government should mix itself up with the doings of Thibaudeau, Prefontaine, and Armstrong does not appear, and it is plain that their doing so lays the province open to the danger that accompanies the endorsing of a note for parties who are not good fur it.In this case, it {a true the province would not have to pay the note, but it is bound to pay 4 per cent.interest on it for 20 years, which, capitalized, approaches the face of the note.If the legislature can cancel this order- in-council it certainly ought to do so.In his addresses at election meetings last week, notably in that at Montreal Saturday evening, Sir Henri Joly tbrew light on the true history of Flynn's betrayal of him ia 1878.It was shown beyond dispute that Flynn bad offers of a seat in the cabinet from both sides, and that, after deliberate consideration, on coming to the conclusion that Chapleau\u2019s prospects were brighter than those of Joly, he officially stabbed that gentleman in the back.The first arrivals from Europe at Montreal were on the last day of April, when two steamships arrived.Since then a large fleet of steamships has come and shipments of farm produce and lumber have been heavy.The renewing of the superstructure of the Victoria bridge is now à scttled fact, and work has been begun.The present tube is to be taken off and the tops of the piers widened sufficiently to bear the new bridge, which Is to be 65 feet broad.In the centre there will be a double track, and on either side a carriage-way and foot-walk for pedestrians.The cost of the change is estimated at 3 million dollars, and it will be compisted during the summer of 1898.The present bridge has been in service for 37 years and is as sound as the day it was opened.The trouble lies in that the volume of traffic has outgrown its capscity and a double track has become indispensable.In general appearance the new bridge will resemble the C.P.R.structure at Lachine.Premier Greenway is negotiating for the building of a railway between Winnipeg and Duluth, which will greatly shorten the distance to tidewater and reduce freight on wheat to 10 cents the 100b.The province offers the company a guarantee of the interest on its bonds, which will cost it $100,000 a year.Should the new line be built it will compete with the C.P.R.for the carrying of freight, of which it has a monopoly.After deluging it with an ocean of talk the U.B.senate rejected the proposed treaty with Britain for settlement of disputes by arbitration.The proposs] for sueh a treaty came from the Americans, and\u201d its terms were those suggested by the Cleveland administration, and negotiated directly by minister Bayard with Lord Salls- bury.The Diagley tarif bill bas emerged Sovtovies have closed, ouing, 4 te shape that its anthors do not recognize.It has becn wholly recast, and most of its clauses based on entirely different prineiples.Generally speaking, it reduces the duties.Whether the pew tariff passes or not, is a matter of indifference to Canadians, for among all its multitudinous changes the items affecting Canada are left as they were, excepting those on wool and lumber.It looks now as if there would be a fight over the tariff between the senate and the house, which will delay its passage.The.announcement that the mayor of London\u2019s fund for the Indian famine sufferers now exceeds 24 million dollars gives an idea of the liberality of the English people.$30,000 has been contributed by them for the care of the Greek wounded, and a detachment of English nurses is now in Greece.The prospect of trouble in South Africa is less than it was a week ago.President Kruger has yielded to the demands of the British government, and caused the repeal of the law that discriminated so harshly against English - speaking wettlers in the Transvaal.There are hopes of a friendly settlement of all disputed points, One of the most shocking accidents on record happened at Paris on the 4th.The leaders of fashion in the gay city had resolved on a great bazar to raise money for charitable objects, and a temporary building was erected for the purpose, 300 feet long by 100 wide.The interior was transformed by cunning workmen into a representation of a street of Paris in the middle ages, and the shops on cither side were the stalls where ladies, prominent from rank and wealth, sold articles of beauty and value.On the afternoon of the {th the fairy-like place was thronged by a crowd estimated at 1800.Suddenly there was an alarm of fire, a lamp had been upset and the draperies around it were in a blaze.There was a mad rush for the doors, but so rapidly did the flames spread that hundreds were cn- veloped in fire before they could run the length of the building.The roof was of pitch, and the drops of blazing tar set fire to the ladies\u2019 dresses.In ten minutes it was all over: the flimsy structure had collapsed.From its ruing 113 bodies were taken.This does not represent all, for of the 118 80 seriously burned as to require to be taken to the hospitals, many have died or will die.Among the dead are ladies of the highest station, one of them a sister of Austria.The Turks took possession of the town of Larissa ou the 24th April, and for the next seven days they made no aggressive movement.The time they occupied in getting reinforcements and supplies through Milouna pass, and In arranging for an onward movement.This breathing - spell saved the Greek army from destruction.Disorganized and demoralized by its flight from Milouna, it needed the moet strenuous exertions to get the army into shape.Entrenchments were formed along the hill slopes of Pharsala and cannon secured from Athens, so that by the ist May they were in a position to dispute the onward march of the Turke.Edhem Pasha, however, did not deem it best to assail them directly in front, but sent a strong column to turn the east flank of their position by capturing Velestino, an important railway junction.This place was held by General Smolenski with 12,000 Greeks.On the afternoon of the 2nd the Turks began the attack, but were foiled, and darkness ended the day's operations, Next day the Turks again assaulted the place, and were again baffled, to repeat their assault in greater force, to be again worsted.These three successive victories raised the spirits of the Greeks and helped to restore confidence in themselves.Finding it difficult to turn the Greek flank by capturing Velestino, Edhem Pasha ordered an assault on Pharsalos, which began at midday qn the 6th, when the Greek outposts were driven in.Inthe afternoon the Greeks were drawn up for & decisive conflict.The plan of the Turkish general, however, was not to come to close quarters, and taking advantage of the Greeks being drawn up in line in the open awaiting attack, he placed batteries in such à position that they were exposed to their fire.The Greek general had made one mistake in pushing forward his troops (0 meet the enemy instead of awaiting their attack.He now made à second, by ordering them to fall back to their malo position, which fnyolved crossing a short plain and a river, with one bridge.The Turks now pressed the assault and their cannon, esposially, wrought havoe in the ranks of the Gresks as they march- the Empress of teow the sonate committee Tove is 8 oû across the ops 10 the bridge, shells exploding every few seconds in thelr midst.The Gresks bore themselves bravely, and resisted stubboraly the advance of the Turks, whose numbers were so great that they outflanked them.Darkness found the Greeks still holding their lines, but with the Turks massed in front, and ready to renew the conflict at daylight.A council-of-war was held when it was decided to retreat, because the Turks were in such force that there was imminent danger of their outflanking the Greek position and getting into its rear.The order of march was given and silently the Greek army broke camp and retired to Domokos, à diu- tance of 8 miles.Daylight found them in their new position, which is a gap in a mountain range, and naturally very strong.lo their flight they abandoned a battery of artillery and a large quantity of supplies from want of means of transportation, all of which fell into the hands of the Turks.The tidings of this rctreat reached Smolenski on Friday.He was dumfounded, for it was unexpected.As his rear was now exposed, he had no recourse save to abandon Velestino.He made a masterly «retreat in face of the pursuing enemy, and joined his forces to those at Domukos.His retreat left the seaport of Volo uncovered, and the Turks occupled it without firing a shot on Saturday.Elsewhere the Greek arms have been In the Epirus, where they carried everything before them for a while, they have abandoned the places they captured and returned to Greece, In this instance treachery is hinted at, and it is now alleged the dreadful retreat of Larissa was begun and developed by traitors in the Greek ranks.Reports declare the Turks are wreaking terrible vengeance on the Christians of the Epirus.The defeat at Pharsala reduced Greece to abject straits, and she was forced to ask the Powers to intercede with Turkey on her behalf.So far nothing has been decided upon, not even an armistice.The Turks continue to prepare for an attack on Domokos, and it is possible a great battle may be fought there before negotiations van stay the sultan\u2019s hand, and, by all accounts, his successes have inflamed his pride, for he is calling out fresh military reserves and forming a great army in Asia Minar, The course of the war has domonstrated that Greece drew the sword while unprepared.She had men, brave men, but she had no modern rifles for them, no cannon, no ammunition, not even food and raiment.Poorly equipped, starved, and wretchedly officered, the Greeks have shown what they might have done under reverse circumstances, With an incapable prince- ling for general, they have had to face an overwhelming host of Turks ably commanded.Even with the odds so greatly against them the Greeks would have triumphed had their compatriots in Macedonia and the other provinces held by Turkey risen in insurrection, As was expected.The fear of the Turk heid them down, and Edhem Pasha was able to advance without fear of what would happen behind him.The sympathies of all lovers of freedom are with the Greek people, and thai they will cver pass again under the hated yoke of the Turk is incredible.If the Powers do not restore the status that preceded the war, we may trust Greek patriotism to win it by the sword.So brave a people cannot be conquered and the end ls not yet.ORMSTOWN Mrs

left none af that hard feeling which, unfortunately, marked the June contest.The majority in Valleyfield for Mr Bisson is undoubtedly due to the influence of the Hon Mr Tarte, whose visit Monday

wore a number who could not get over Robidoux\u2019s connection with the Mercier ministry, and while they would not vote against him, they would not vote for him.But for this cause, Mr Robidoux would have received about a hundred more votes.The day was fine, rather too warm to be pleasant, and the roads passable, so that whoever wished had no difficulty in going to the polls, Our Ste Martine correspondent writes: A large number of electors from nearly every parish were here Tuesday evening to congratulate the Hon J.E Robidoux upon his victory in this county, which is a wonderful one, he having received a large majority in every parish, even Ste Martine, could only express the hope that bis course in the legislature would be as satisfactory to them in the future as it bad been in the past.While It was his intention to adhere to Liberal principles, he would say if the party that professed to be Liberal did not carry out those principles, did not do right, he would not hesitate to tell them so, and in doing so he would take courage from feeling he had behind him a great moral force in such a constituency as Huntingdon, which had shown it placed principle above party aggrandizement.While he could not help a feeling that he had not by what he had done in the past deserved the honor they had dome him, he could assure them it would be his endeavor to deserve it more by his work in the future.It was his wish that any jll-feeling engendered during the contest now die.He was one of those who, after a fight, whether hie had lost or won, put out his hand to shake that of his opponent.Let tonight finish any bad feeling that may exist.He regretted that, during the contest, on several occasions he had he afterwards regretted.It was a human falling and they did not all know how he had been tried by the charges made against him, When he had done wrong he admitted ft, and he made this public apology of his own free will, His opponent had lost the battle fairly and he entertained him and his supporters.For some 20 years the Liberals had been In opposition, and during that time had met many defeats, but had always come up smiling.He trusted the Conservatives which has gone Liberal for the first time.The returns were all in hy 8 | o'clock, and cach parish gave the following majorities for Mr Robldoux, | Mr Greig not having carried a single one, not even the

addressed the meeting.The opening of the ballot-boxes takes place Monday and I will give the number of votes next week.So far as we can see today, Mr Greig has lost his deposit of 8200.HUNTINGDON.| The contest passed quietly, and everything went smoothly.Both sides worked well, as evidenced by the large vote polled.From the polls that could be reached by telephone, telegraph, or bicycle, the results came in rapidly, but from the outlying polls there was some delay.By half-past 6, when full returns had been received from Godmanchester, showing it gave & majority for St\u2018puens, Ît was plain the day had gone for the Liberals, and this was confirmed by the reports that followed from St Anicet.Shortly before 8 all the polls were heard from, and showed a majority for Stephens of 259.There was now a move towards Moir hall, which was soon packed; indeed many could not get in, for the galleries were closed owing to being newly painted.The audience was mainly eomposed of farmers, many of whom had driven over ten miles to get the news.When Mr Stephens appeared on the platform there was a burst of applause.W.H.WALKER, president of the Liberal association, was called to the chair.He said he was sure they all felt happy at the grand victory achieved, and he offered his congratulations to the Liberals of the couaty in the work they had done that day.He was a little eurprisod at the largeness of the majority, as his estimato had been 150.It was somewhat striking that the majority was exactly that of Stephens in 1803 (55) added to the voted polled by Leclair (205).He would now introduce the member-clect.Mr STEPHENS, in warm language, expressed his gratitude for the renewed confidences of the electors, which he vegarded as a great victory for the Liberal cause, and, from reports received, was indicative of what had generally taken place throughout the province.It was his duty to acknowledge the hard work that had been done in every part of the county by his friends, chief among whom was their chairman, and Mr Maclaren had made a first-class second.In fact, he did not know what he would have done without those two good friends.In saying he felt very grateful to those who bad sen 84 to vote for him, be i handle large sums yet careful about | Cameron, and had done so under the would do the same.Owing to fatigue, he trusted his hearers would excuse his not attempting to do justice to the occasion, A.E.MITCHELL sald they had great cause for self-congratulation, not only because they had re-elected their man, but because the province had gone Liberal.The worst his opponents could say of Mr Stephens had been that he was a millionaire and that, altho rich, he knew how to take care of the pennies.Well, that was the very sort of man needed as treasurer of this province, one acoustomed to every dollar spent, and he hoped and believed that when the Liberals were called to form a ministry at Quebec Mr Stephens would be placed in charge of the tregsury\u2014and ho would guar- antoe he would pay no 810,000 fees to any lawyer for one trial.Mr Stephens was sometimes bitter on lawyers but he (Mr Mitchell) did not resent that.There were honest lawyers and there were greedy lawyers, and it was the latter Mr Stephens was after, He had not assisted in the late fight, for Mr Stephens had fought his own battle, and the result showed he was able for it alone.Before sitting down he wanted to make a personal explanation.Five years ago he voted for Dr belle that, seeing he was a supporter of Mercier\u2019s, he was a Liberal of the Liberals, and had continued under that impression until a year ago, when, to his surprise, he had scen Dr Cameron ally himself with Mr White and the Conservative cause, When he saw him act sp, ho felt Dr Cameron had no longer a olaim on the support of Liberals.He respected the Doctor a8 a neighbor, as a physician, and as à man, and acknowledged he had done a good deal for the coramunity, as in getting Mercier to grant a receipt for the ten or twelve thousand dollar claim against the village, but, politically, when he became a Conservative and identified himsel( with the Con.claim on the support of Liberals.He did not mean to question his right to change sides, but he could not expect his friends to follow him in it.Mp Stephens had done well in the past, and he was sure they would be delighted with hls course in the future.The CHAIRMAN said he would now call on a gentleman who had done a grand work for the Liberal cause in St Anicet and Ste Barbe, PHILEAA LANCTOT, B.C.L., hoped they would excuse his saying much, as ho had been talking incessantly for the past 8 days.He had found his work in the parishes named oasy, because in Laurler the Liberals have a leader whose name wins support.In Mr Stephens they had a faithful representative, and he agreed with Mr Mitchell that he would make a good watch dog for the treasury.He referred to his pleasant relations with Dr Cameron at their meetings during the past week, and closed with a humorous description of Beaubien and his haras.Changing to French, Mr Lanctot spoke with power in that language.G.W.STEPHENS, jr., gave a bright sketch of his sojourn among the people along the lake, whom, both Irish, Scotch, and French, he praised highly.He brought down the house by his sketch of a dance he had attended {n Ste Barbe, and ended by expressing his gratitude to the Liberals of the caunty of Huntingdon for electing his father as its member.R.SELLAR being called for, indicated some reforms the Liberals had a right to ex Mr Stephens would su and Touched upon a few features of lost his temper and used expressions no other than kindly feelings towards scrvative pariy, ho ceased to have any ! a word for the Liberal association, which had proved its usefulness during the contest, and which he hoped they would see was maintained.The result that day was especially satisfactory because the nominee of the association had been sustained.He touched upon the work the association could do and described the proceedings of the convention that had nominated Mr Stephens.Now that the fight was over, from what he knew of Mr Stephens\u2019 conduct in the past, he felt safe in saying that gentleman would regard himself not as representative of the Liberals but of the county at large, and if any elector had a service to be rendered him, he would find in approaching Mr Stephens he would not ask how he voted, but would render all their due.The meeting closed with cheers for Mr Stephens and the Queen.The

Pasha, the German officer who reorganized the Turkish artillery, and who entered Larissa at the head of the Turkish troops, is published.He dwells upon the splendid conduct of the Turks and says the capture of Larissa did not cost them a single man.He says the works constructed by the Greek engineers at Larissa ave deserving of all praise, and he fails to understand why they were abandoned.The Turkish army now in the field, he further ve.marks, is one of the finest Turkey ever possessed, and he says no praise is too great for both soldiers and officers.The doctors are greatly struck with the wonderful vitality of the wounded Turks.One Turkish soldier, who was shot in the stomach, remained in the rauks, and afterward walked 10 miles.Another Turkish soldier, who was wounded twice in the lege and once in the shoulder, continued attending to his duties for 24 hours, until an officer noticed his condition and ordered him to the hospital.The wounded men recover with remarkable rapidity.This is attributed to the abstemious lives which the Turks lead.CANADA Bishop Lafleche of Three Rivers could not resist the temptation of dealing a blow to his bete noir, the Liberal party, in the coming elections, and so on Sunday made another onslaught upon the Manitoba school settlement, which has nothing to do with the present contest.He said that unfortunately the duty of submission to their pastors did not appear to be understood by a part of the French- Canadian people; that it belongs to the church alone to say whether such or such a question is within its domain, and that though Catholics have the right of appealing to Ilome they must while awaiting the judgment be obedi- cnt to their bishops.The bishops condemned the settlement with the approbation of Rome, and the church is certainly on the eve of a great triumph.Some Valleyfield fishermen were run down by game warden D.8.McDonald and his assistants during the carly part of last weck, and a large seine confiscated.A sharp watchout is being kept on all the fishermen this spring.Judgment was given at Montreal on the 30th April by Judge Charland in the case of Emile Bertrand vs.St Lawrence & Adirondack RR.Co., in favor of Bertrand for $2200 and costs.Bertrand was blacksmith In the employ of the company, getting $2 per day.They had been installed in a little building near the railway they were building at Chateaugay.On the 28th February he went to work at 7 am., lighted his stove and was warming himself with his back to it when a terrible explosion took place.The stove was upset and the roof in part raised, and Bertrand appeared to be killed, but afterwards recovered.The : night before one of the employes of the company had left in the stove a small tin kettle containing several dynamite cartridges, hence the ex- ! plosion.The company pleaded the negligence of plaintiff, but were not upheld by the court.In the superior court, Montreal, | judgment was given in à case, where i Richard S.Pringle, of Athelstan, sued for the value of milk delivered to a city milkman, named Small.The | action claimed $261.97 for milk delivered by plaintiff to defendant.The defendant pleaded that plaintiff had .never presented an account for the sum which he now claimed, nor had he asked for payment.The defendant deposited with his plea the amount claimed.and asked for the dismissal of the action.The court was of opin- fon, en the proof, that defendant was bound to offer payment of the amount.It appeared that he had always made his payments by express, and plaintiff had not to come here to ask for his money.Judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiff for the costs.Mc- Cormick & Claxton for plaintiff; DeLormier & Sodin for defendant.Prof Robertson appeared before the agriculture committee at Ottawa and gave à summary of the cold storage scheme and its progress.There will be seventeen steamers in all on the St Lawrence route this season with cold accommodation, and arrangements are to be made for accommodation from St John, Halifax.aud Charlofte- town.The charge for this is only 10 shillings per tou extra, or.about twelve and a hall cents per hundred pounds.He said tro men werc to be employed in Great Britain as a sort of national commercial travellers, who would pot push any one man\u2019s goods, ; will be held twice a week and sales every day.They have but the nation\u2019s products.There are a large number of cases of measles in Malone, two of which have proved fatal.On Tuesday sheriff Whitney brought one Ephraim M.Gates before justice Bush for an examination upon the charge of grand larceny in the second degree.The facts in the case are as.follows: In November, 1885, Gates, who was at that time travelling through the country selling evaporators and other farm implements, called at the house of Danie! M.Parhaw at Franklin Centre, Q., and represented that he wanted to purchase a horse.He was shown an animal, and an agreement was entered into, it iv alleged, whereby Gates was to take the animal on six weeks\u2019 trial and if it proved satisfactory was to return and pay for the same, or pay for its use during the time.He did not return, however, neither did he return the horse, and Mr Parham procured a warrant several months ago for his arrest.The officers were unable to get any track of him until last week, when he was located near Carthage, where he was arrested and brought to Malone.At the examination on Tuesday he put In no defense, and was therefore held to await the action of the grand jury which convenes next weok.\u2014Chateaugay Record.London, May 6.\u2014The newspapers are bitter at the rejection of the arbitration treaty by the United States senate.The St James Gazette publishes a long article headed \u2018Free Trade and Brotherly Love,\u2019 during which it says: Great Britain has removed every hampering tariff, and thousands of square miles of American territory, scores of her cities and millions of her citizens thrive by virtue of the English market alone.Yet the senate committes has just piled up the most vexatious, harrass- ing and impenetrable wall of tariff which any nation ever formed agalnst another, while the senate itself las decided against a permanent machinery for the peaceable settlement of disputes.Tho much abused diplomats were advised that the treaty would be accepted, but the politicians preferred to listen to the counsels ol an ex- convict and sworn enemy of England (Mr Michael Davitt referred to), who, having taken the oath of allegiance to the Queen, spends his vacation in Washington advising the senators to hope and work patiently for twisting the British lion\u2019s tail.We rejoice at the new Canadian preferential tariff for many reasons, not the least of which is that it restores us a weapon with which to fight our rivals in the future.Free imports at any price deprived us of that weapon.Simla, British India, May 10.-A British officer and thirty coolies have been killed by an avalanche on the Sprinagarish road.A revenue cutter found 4 U.S, tugs fishing off the Canadian shore, and captured 77 nets, containing about a ton and a half of fish, principally ple- kerel and herring.The capture is worth about $400.4,235 square miles of timber limits are owned in Ontario by American firms and the exportation of logs has been enormous in recent years.\u201cNorah,\u201d said Mrs Perkasie, to her new cook, \u2018\u2018this salad tastes of kerosene,\u201d\u2019 \u201cSure, mum,\u2019\u2019 replied Norah, \u2018an\u2019 it wae yersell as tould me to put ile on it.Montreal, May 10.\u2014 At the East End abattoir market this morning the offerings of live stock were 700 cattle, 400 calves, 150 spring lambs, 350 sheep and 40 lean hogs.Owing to the heavy receipts of cattle and the falling off In the demand for export account the tonc of the market was weaker and prices show a decline of gc ¥ th since this day week.The atwendance of butchers was large, but on account of the unfavorable weather for keeping stock the demand from them was also limited, and trade on the whole was slow, even at the above reduction In prices.The supply was in excess of requirements and a number were left over.Choice butchers\u2019 cattle sold at adic;

the one at Riga id 1657, and the other at St.Louis in 1871, which have suggested to him the true solution.Here is the letter which I had this morning acknowledging my assistance.\u201d He tossed over, as he rpoke, a crumpled sheet of foreign note-paper.I glanced my eves down it, catching a profusion of notes of admiration, with stray \u201cmagnifiques,\u201d *coup-de-maitres,\u201d and\u2018 \u2018tours de force,\u201d all testifying to the ardent admiration of the Frenchman.\u201cHe speaks as a pupil to his master,\u201d said I.\u2018Oh, he rates my assistance too highly,\u201d said Sherlock Holmes, lightly.\u2018He has considerable gifts himself, He possesses two out of the three qualities necessary for the ideal detective.He has the power of observation and that of deduction.He is only wanting in knowledge: and that may come in time.He is now translating my small works into French.\u201d \u201cYour works?\" \u201cOh, didn't you know ?\" he cried, laughing.\u201cYes, I have heen guilty of several monographs.They are all upon technical subjects.Here, for example, is one \u2018Upon the Distinction Between the Ashes of the Various To- buccos.\u201d Init I enumerate a hundred and forty forms of cigar, cigarette and pipe tobacco, with colored plates illustrating the difference in the ash.It is a point which is continually turning up in criminal trials, and which is sometimes of supreme importance as a clue.If you can say definitely, for example, that some murder has been done by a man who was smoking an Indian lunkah, it obviously narrows your field of search.To the trained oye there is as much difference between the black ash of a Trinchinopoly and the white fluff of bird's-eye as there is between a cabbage and a potato,\u201d \u201cYou have an extraordinary genius for minutie,\u201d I remarked.1 appreciate their importance, Here is my monograph upon the tracing of footsteps, with some remarks upon the uses of plaster uf paris as a preserver of impresses.Here, too, isa curious little work upon the influence of a trade upon the form of the hand, with litho- types of the hands of slaters, sailors, cork-cutters, compositors, weavers and diasmnond-polishers.That is a matter of great practical interest to the scientific detective\u2014espcciallv in causes of unclaimed bodies, or in discovering the antecedents of criminals.But I weary you with my hobby,\u201d \u201cNot at all,\" I answered, earnestly.\u201cIt is is of the greatest interest to me, espocially since I have had the opportunity of observing your practical application of it.But you spoke just now of observation and deduction.Surely the one to some extent implies the other.\u201d \u201cWhy, hardly,\u201d he answered, leaning back luxuriously in his arm-chair, and sending up thick blue wreaths from his pipe.\u2018\u2018For example, observation shows me that you have been to the Wigmore street Poscoffice this morning, but deduction lets me know that when there you dispatched a telegram.\" \u201cRight !\" said I.\u2018Right on both ints! But I confess that I don't see iow you arrived at it.It was a sudden impulse upon my part, and I have mentioned it to no one.\u201d *It is simplicity itself,\u201d he remarked, chuckling at my surprise ; \u2018so absurdly simple that an explanation is superfluous : and yet it may serve to define the limits of observation and of deduction.Observation tells me that you have a little reddish mold adhering to your instep, Just opposite the Seymour street office they have taken up the pavement and thrown up some earth which lies in such a way that it is dificult to avoid treading in it in entering, The earth is of this peculiar reddish tint which is found, so far as I know, nowhere cise in the neighborhood.So much is observation, The rest is deduction.\u201d \u201cHow, then, did you deduce the tele- am ?\u201d \u201cWhy, of course I knew that you had not written a letter, since I sat op- ite to you all morning, I see also in your open desk there that you have a sheet of stamps and a thick bundle of post-cards, What could you go inte the postoffice for, then, but to send a wire?Eliminate all other factors, aud the one which remains must be the truth.\u201d \u201cIn this case it certainly is 50,\u201d I replied, after a little thought, \u2018The thing, however, is, as you say, of the simplest.Would you think me impertinent if I were to pat your theories to a more pevere test 7\u2019 \u201cOn the contrary.\u201d he answered, \u2018it would prevent me from taking a second dose of cocaine.I should be delightod to look into any problem which you might submit to me.\u201d \u201cI have heard you say that it is difficult for a man ta have any object in daily use without leaving the im- pregs of hia individuality upon it in such a way that a trained observer might rea Now, I have here a watch which has recently come into my possession.Would you have the kindness to let me have an opinion upon the character or habits of the late owner Ÿ I handed him the watch with some slight feeling of amusement in my heart, for the test was, as thought, an impossible one, and I intended it ns a lemon against the somewhat dogmatic tone which he orcasionally assumed, He balanced the watch in his hand, gazed hard at the dial, opened the back, ppd examined the works, UNDERTAKING AND ENBALNING.The undersigned wish to intimate that they have on hand a full line of CASKETS AND COFFINS of all sizes and styles, coffin plates, burial robes and other trimmings, always in stock.Pricos reasonable A arse kept.Show rooms in R.C.Kelly's block, Chateaugay street, promptly attended to.DENNEEN & KELLY, HUNTINODON * follow my first with his naked eyes and them with » powerful convex lens.I could hardly keep from smiling at his crest-fallen face when he finally snapped the case to and handed it back.\u2018There are hardly any data.\u201d he remarked.\u2018\u201c\u2019Ehe watch has been recently cleaned.which robs me of my most suggestive facts.\u201d \u201cYou are right.\u201d 1 answered, \u201cIt was cleaned before being sent to me.\u201d In my heart I accused my companion of putting forward # most laine and impotent excuse to cover his failure.\u2018What data could he expect from an uncleaned watch ?\u201cThough unsatisfactory, my research has not been entirely barren,\u201d he obe surved, staring up at the ceiling with dreamy, lack-luster eyes.\u2018\u2018SBubject to your correction, I should judge that the watch belonged to your elder brother, who inherited it from your father.\u201d \u201cThat you gather, no doubt, froin the H, W.upon the back ?\" \u201cQuite so.The W.suggests your own name, The date of the watch is nearly fifty years back, aud the initials are as old as the watch; so it was made for the last generation.Jewel- ery usually descends to the eldest son, and he is most likely to have the same name as the father.Your father has, if I remember right, been dead many years.It has, therefore, been in the hands of your eldest brother.\u201d \u201cRight, so far,\u201d said I.\u2018\u2018Anything else ?\u201d \u201cHe was a man of untidy habits\u2014 very untidy and careless.© was left wit! good prospects, but he threw away his chances, lived for some time in overty, with occasional short He vals of prosperity, and finally, ta to drink, he died That is all I cen gather.\u201d : I sprang from my chair and limped impatiently about the room with considerable bitterness in my heart.\u201cThis is unworthy of you, Holmes,\u201d | I said.\"I could not have believed that vou would have descended to this.ou have made inquiries into the his- : tory of my unhappy brother, and you now pretend to deduce this knowledge in some fanciful way.You can not expect me to believe that you have read all this from his old watch! It is unkind, and, to speak plainly, has a touch 8f chatlatanism in it.\u201d \u201cMy dear doctor,\u201d said he, kindly, \u201cpray accept my apologies.Viewin, the matter as an abstract problem, had forgotten how personal and painful à thing it might be to you, I assure you, however, thut I never even knew that you had a brother until you handed me the watch.\u201d \u201cThen how in the name of all that is wonderful did you get all these facts?They are absolutely correct in every purticular,\u201d * Ah, that is good luck, I could onl say what was the balance of probability, I did not at all expect to be so accurate.\u201d \u201cBut it was not mere guess-work ?\u201d \u201cNo, no; I never guess, It is a shocking habit \u2014 destructive to the logical aculty.What seems strange to you is only so because you do not train of thought or observe the small facts upon which large inferences may depend.For example, I begun by stating that your brother was careless, When you observe the lower part of that watch-case you notice that it is not only dented in two places, but it is cut and marked all over from the habit of keeping other hard objects, such as coins or keys, in the same pocket.Surely it is no great feat to assume that a man who treats a fifty- guinea watch so cavalierly must be a careless man.Neither is it a very farfetched inference that a man who in- ; » : { herits one articleof such value is pretty well provided for in ather respects,\u201d I nodded ta show that I followed his | reasoning.\u201cIt is very customary for pawnbrokers in England, when they take a watch, to scratch the number of the ticket with a pin-point upon the inside of thecase.It label, as there is no risk of the number being lost or transposed.There are no less than four such numbers visible to my lens on the inside of this case.In- ference\u2014that your brother was often at low water.\u201d Secondary inference\u2014 that he had occasional bursts of prosperity, or he could not heve redeemed the pledge.Finally, I ask you tolook at the inner plate which contains the key-hole, Look at the thousands of scratches all around the hole\u2014marks where the key has slipped.What sober man\u2019s key could rooves?But you will never see a runkard\u2019s watch without them.He winds it at night, and he leaves these traces of his unsteady hand.the mystery in all this?\" \u201cIt is as clear as daylight.\" I answered.\u2018I regret the injustice which .I did you.I should have had more faith in your marvelous faculty.May ask whether you have any professional inquiry on foot at present?\u201d \u201cNone.Hence the cocaine, I cam not live without brain-work.What else is there to Jive for ?Stand at the window here.Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world ?See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across dun-colored houses.What could he more hopelessly prosaic and material?What is the use of having powers, doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?Crime is commonplace, and existence i§ commonplace, and na qualities save those which are commonplace have any function upon earth.\u201d had opened my mouth to reply to his tirade, when, with a crisp knock, our landlady entered, bearing a card upon the brass salver, \u201cA young lady for you, sir.\u201d she said.ad ing my companion, \u2018Miss Mary Morstan,\u201d he read.\u201cHum!

but with the jet are frequently blended small floral devices in the very brightest tints.Most of the now trimmings accord with the novel stuffs that have been brought out, and light piuk, light blue, yellow, green aud aielio- trope all appear in the narrow half inch galloon and other garnitures, sometimes formed of silk, but more often of paillettes and jewels.Occasionally small rosettes of silk, mingled with atones, find a place at intervals on the galioons, nnd some of the very prettiest are a combination of turquoise and crystals, Every width of lace can be employed nowadays on the gowns designed for house wear.Some of the dressmakers trim dress bodices with cascadea or loops of luce, with a view to acoomo- dating the gem jewelry posscesed by their wearers, so that, for instance, a diamond star would appear to fasten a fold of luce, ang a crescent would act as the centerpiece of a lace rosette, while a jeweled bar pin holds a lace frill in place on the shoulder.Tucks are much used as a trimming and there are some rare cmbroiderings.Rosettes made in chiffon, ribbon, lace, ete., play an important part in connection with diaph- snous materials.To the delight of many women, the eonvenient little cape is included among THREE NEW CAPES.fashionable wraps, despite all predictions to the contrary.It is represented in a great variety of materiale nnd styles.The dolman mantle has been resuscitated for the benefit of middle aged women, who appear to liko the form of wrap it represents.Quite yonng womeu patronize the jackets rendered wore or less ornate with braiding, stitching and buttons, Some of these jackets ure decidedly swagger and go well with the Euglish walking bute, Aisce VARSUM Doctor-=From the condition of your hand and arm I should say you are suffer- {ng from writers\u2019 cramp\u2014too much eze- dise of one net of muscles.Young Business Man\u2014But I never write.1employ a typewriter.Doctares es od to her?n-\u2014Yos.Do you\u2014er dictate with your other arm?-\u2014Strand Magasine Mulhall entimatos the number of individuals who emigrated fram Europe in 78 years, 1818 to 1888, at 27,203,000, Of these 15,000,000 camo to the Unitod States.uc Mextonn ciel bas his pout- es yor ee CHEESEMAKING.Usotni Information Conce Curés, Cleanliness and Curing Reems.Ab a meeting of the Western Ontario Daisymen\u2019s association many facts were brought out that show how our Canadian rivals make their cheese.From speeches and papers in Hoard\u2019s Dairy.mun we clip various notes.Here is a description of the Black Hawk model cheese factory: It is Luilt and equipped for both bnt- ter and cheese making, The creamery is a room 85 by 40, at the south end of the building, and immediately adjoining the eresinery on the north comes the vat.room, which is 35 by 52; then comes the pressrcom to the north of the vat- room, this being 85 by 80.The milk fs taken in at the two windows on the west side of the building and opposite the vatroom.The boiler room is on the cast #ide of the building, aud so cituated that one door opens out of the vatroom and unother out of the creamery into it.The ceilings are 12 feet high, the walls are of hollow brick and finished outside with red mortar, There is à wainscoting of cement 4 fect high, and above the cement white plaster, High ceilings, large windows and white walls make an airy and well lighted building.Both the cold and hot water tanks are elevated above the ceiling of the boiler room, the cold water tank being high euough to empty into the other, and pipes conuect with both of them from all parts of the building.The whey runs from the vats to a large tank in the ground, from which it is forced 100 yards through pump logs to the hog- pens by an ejector.The washings and waste water go to a small tank and are forced by the samo ejector past the hog- pens to a large open trench with gravel bottom, through which it filters to a neighboring stream.The factory is thus rendered free of offensive smells.The curing room contains ice racks suspended 4 feet from the ceiling for use in hot weather.A pipe runs from the cold water tunk to the receiving station, aud water is turned into every can after it has been emptied, This is greatly appreciated by the patrons.Mr.Barr said of cheesemaking (1) that curds which were 8 to 33% hours from setting to dipping made better cheese than thoee that occupied a shorter space; (2) that curds dipped with lesa thun one-quarter inch of acid made nicer, wore gilky chieese than those dipped with more than one-quarter inch, Here are some of his \u201cdon'ts,\u201d To factory wen: Don\u2019t cut your cheesemakers\u2019 wages any lower.Don\u2019t buy n gang press with.a tin trough under the hoops.Have it wooden, Don't buy a checze truck with four wheels.Get one with three.Don\u2019t expect a man to make a good fall cheeso in a skuting rink without a stove.To cheesemakers: Don\u2019t tender for a factor so low that you cannot live just for the fun of making cheese, Dan'e take in bad milk.Don't overripen your milk to hasten the work.You will retard it and make poor cheese.Don't give your curd more than one- quarter inch acid.Don\u2019t wash your curd sinks once a week, Wash them cvery day.Don\u2019t wear the same pair of pants from April to November without washing them.Keep yourself and factory neat and clean, Dairy and Creamery.No butter scored perfect at the National Creamery Butter Makers\u2019 abnual meeting at Owatonna, Minn, The high- cst ecore for separator butter was made by H.M.Miller of Randolph, Ia, who got the gold medal.His butter scored 98.5.It is to be noted that the prize butter from gathered cream did not score so high as the separator butter.The gathered cream butter scored only 96.16 points, and even then there were those who declared that the man who got the medal for it, Mr.Herman Bock of Minnesota, had a separator concealed somewhere about his creamery.Now, in the beginning of spring, watch every appearance of leek, ragweed, wild garlic, wild parsnips, camomile or any other malodorous weed aud root it out of your pastures.It will save ycur reputation as a milk producer.The man whose herd of dairy cows averages, each for a year, 305 pounds 10 ounces of factory made butter, likewise yiclding milk and butter enough for all bis family, feeding nine calves and leaving some milk to sell besides, has no reason to complain.That is what one up to date dairyman's cows are doing.If a cow is dried off too quickly when near calving time, part of her udder often inflames, thickens and afterward will not produce its due quantity of milk.This is what is known as defective quarter.Frequent bathing with hot water attended by gentle rubbing and kneading of the defective part, will sometimes restore it to usefulness.The milk rate war on routes leading into New York city has become subject for action by the interstate commerce commission, Certain railway lines have been in the habit of charging exactly the same freight on a can of milk shipped 90 miles as on one shipped less than 40 miles.The dairymen near New York complained that this was an injury to them.There Was no way of any of the roads except those passing through two or more states, as New Jersey and New York or Pennsylvania.These could be dealt with under inter- ate commerce law, and they were thos brought to book.The commission decided that for distances less than 40 miles the proper freight charge was 98 cents per can of 40 quarts.For the second group of distances, over 40 and under 60 miles, a rate of 96 cents per can was fixed.For distances between 60 and 90 miles, 20 cents; over 90 miles, 83 cents.For cream 18 cents more per can is charged than for milk over all dis- \u2026\u2026\u2026 At = so R.L.MURCHISON, B.C.L., LL.B.(Gold Medalist, McGill University, '87) arrister, &c., New York Life Build ing, Noll Place d\u2019Armes Square, Montreal.Telephone 3708.EMBALMING AND UNDERTAKING.Always on hand a large stock of cloth and wood C'askets and Coffins, of all slzos, styles and prices.Coffin plates, burial robes, and other trimmings in stock.Prices reasonable.A handsome Hearse kept.Fergonal attention given to Funerals.Ÿ.HHavouneon, Mañèger "]
