suthorities of Now Amsterdam resolved \u201cto erect n ment market and cover i¢ with tiles, to bave à block bought therein and te leave the key with Andries, the baker, who shall have temporary charge thereof.\u2019 This was the pioneer New York market established on the green in what is now Battery park, and it was resolved by the authorities of the same time that the cattle should be hitched * \u2018beside the churchyard, where some stakes were fizxed'\u2019 ea Broadway, n little above Morris street.For a few years this was the only market in New York; but, the local reformers of the time insisting presumably upon a change, it was determined to open n fair or market for the sale of \u2018\u2019store and fat cattle, steers, cows, sheep, goats, hogs, bucks and such like,\u2019 and to that snd stalls were built.This market was opened on Oct.30 of each year and was kept open until the last day of November.Twenty years later a market was opened ou whut was called the waterside, near the bridge which spanned Wall street, and it was thrown open to the public on March 34, 1677, and continued open every Saturday following for three years At the expiration of three yoars market day was changed to Wednesday, and in 1683 another step in advance was taken.There were three market days in each week\u2014Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.But the precipitate zeal and energy of the old Dutch inbabitants could not be restrained even by the consorvative burgomasters, and su in 1684 it was ordered that thereafter \u201cfish shall be brought for sale to the dock opposite the city hall and may be sold in the house that Long Mary formerly lived in; likewise herbs, fruits, roots, eto.\u201d\u2019 Afterward the Broadway market house was leased out to Heury Crossley, a butcher, who stipulated to pay for it for seven years a rental of £1 per annus and keep it in good repair.An the city of New Amsterdam wasat that time somewhat short of funds a plan was adopted which in these days would never obtain the favor of the board of estimate and apportionment.It was arranged that each market should be built and kept in repair by the neighbors, and at the end of 50 years it was to belong to the city.In this manner a two story building was erected by the neighbors at the foot of Broad street.was put op on Hanover square ~\u2014not then Hanover square\u2014and a third at the foot of Maiden lane.The last subsequently came to be known as the Fly market and had a practical monopoly of the business of the city on that side of town until the establishment by the neighbors of a market at the foot of Wall street to be known as the Meal market.It was established \u2018\u2018exclusively foe the sale of corn aud meal,\u201d and also \u2018\u2018slaves stood forsale or tobe let to hire*\u2019 at this poiut.In 1785 these primitive market arrangements were done away with and the present system, since enlarged and improved, superseded them.The oity now receives in a year in market rents $383,000, exclusive of vault rents and market permits.The whole public revenue from this source is about $800,000 a year.\u2014New York Sun, John Stuart Mill.Mr.John Stuart Mill has not failed, nor can he fail.To ascertain whether a man is a failure we must ascertain what he aims at, Mr.Mill never thought to startle and dazzle the house by his oratory, as Disraeli did when he first rose to speak.Mr.Mill has no oratorical gifts, and he knows it, nor cun he be called a rhetorician.He is a close reasoner and addresses himself directly to our reasoning powers, and, though be has great command of language, as all hin hearers know, he never condescends todeck out his arguments in rhetorical finery {0 catch applanse.Mr.Mill did not sucoeed as «an orator, but then he did not attempt oratory.Hedid not excito a furore of cheering, but then be neither expected nor wished for applause.Mr.Mill, we should say, cares very little for applause.Rapturous cheering such ns that which Mr.Horsman and Mr.Lowe can evoke would, we venture to think, be an offense to Mr.Mill.He would perhaps ask, with the old Roman orator, \u2018\u2018 What foolish thing have I mid that these people applaud?\u2019 And indeed we ourselves have after long experience come to think that applause in the house of commons is often uproarious in proportion to the foolishuess of the sentiment which calls it forth.Deep attention broken only by signifi- caut murmurs is to our mind far more complimentary to a speaker than flerce and uproarious applanse.What Mr.Mill intended todo was to reason calmly with hie opponents, and this he succeeded in doing.\u2014\u2018\u2018The Inner Lito of the House of Commons, \u2018\u2019 William White.How à Bird Regained Ita Fees.It is not ouly invertebrates that have the privilege of seeing the renewed growth of any partof their bodies which may have suffered amputation.This phenomenon, known as regeneration, also takes place in birds, if we are to believe a writer in a scientific paper, who quotes a curious case of the regeneration of the foot of a canary.This canary had been seized by the foot by a tame crow which occupied.an adjoin- tng cage, and the lower part of the leg was wrenched off.The canary did not die, however, and managed to get along with only one foot.A short time afterward it was observed that the protrad- ing bone began to be covered with an excreroence of flesh shaped like a pear, and six or seven mouths afterward there grew out from this excresceunce first two claws and then a whole new foot, At first the bird did not use this new mem- bez, and be remaiued for several wecks without resting upon it, or at jeast doing vo very tarely, but after this period of expurinoent the supplemen limb be =e a sila] and solid as the other.THE SHOWS.St Louis, Tuesday, 14th Sept.Havelock, Thursday, Sept.16.Malone, Sept.28, 29, 30, and Oet.1, BEAUTY, Workmanship and Durability Are the points which make our LADIES\u2019 JACKETS

in the older duiry sec- tious of Europe.The fine work and art purt of the business ia yet to come.We have been making butter, and now we waut to make quality.One difficulty the bottermaker has had to contend with in the creamery is overwork und too much to attend to and wot time enough to attend to the finer part of butter muking.Our butter is uot always properly washed or worked and salted, too much water is left in the butter, and very often the brine is colored with the buttermilk which injures its keep ing qualities.Solid butter fat is what we waut, with very little moisture or water left in it.Then if your goods are made out of pure and sweet material and not oversulted and colored just right for & standard article, you will hbuve vuiformity and reliuble butter, light in color and light in salt to suis tho best markets of the world.For uniform salting seven-cighths of an ounce to a pound, depending on couditions, etc., of course, but aimed to arrive as the right s'aount by the judgment und tuste of the buttermaker, when he once knows what right salting and coloring are.It secms to me we should have @ stundard color, standard salting, with body or density of butter in regard to the amount of moisture therein contained.Butter made on scientific rules and packed accordingly, after the modern way, with parchment linings, eto., will be iu every way more desirable and sought after for ull purposes, and the market and consumption of the article widely increased at homo and abroad.Our motto should be \u2018\u2018Excelsior.\u2019 No better butter on earth than the American product.Then dairying will pay aud increase all over the United States, .After reading the description of Hoard's creameries in your June oum- ber is it auy wouder that so much inferior butter in made in this country?Probably not over 10 per cent of our produce is what may be called funoy butter of good keeping quality.Note the difference between Hoard'a creameries aud tho average creamery of the uorthwest, without shade or any cooling or refrigerating apparatus, and note the difference in cost of building snd the opportunity for improved creum- eries.I notice the experiment in Jowa of the farm separator plan and believe that system will give us uniforiuly better butter und at less cost of manufacture, and moro time be given to the butter maker for the soiemtific making of the butter, in creams ripening, pasteurization, churning, working, waeh- ing, coloring, salting aud packing of the butter.Larger fields may be cove ered with ceutral churning stations or sreameries and moro uniformity given sho butter, so desirabio at the present time.\u2014 William B.Webb in Creamery Jourval.Does Seem Se Now it does seein as if milking cows 11 months instead of 7, adopting the silo system, thus getting a vastly greater product of fodder from the land, and aftordivg a regular sapply of palatable, succulent food, independently of dronght or flood, knowing she producing value of each aniwnl, and providing warm and clean quarters would make it jus$ as possible for the farmer to make up what wana lost in price by an increased product as the manufacturer or the common carrier.Possibly it is a mistaken idea, but it seems reasonable te an outside observer.Ogdensburg Hess ald.Sofficient rutabaga turnips can be grown upon half an acre to feed ten calves during the

coming | back.This pig was cold cn à farm te à | man from a neighboring village, whe put it in a covered baskes, shut the lids : down tight and fastened them, put the | basket in à wagen and drove off down a | road that had turms im it, eo that | it was something like a pair of steps, to the village, about half a wile away, where he put the pig in a pen.This was in the morning.\u2018Running through the farmer's land, fu some low ground down toward the village, there was a brook, with a boggy meadow au either side of it.Beyond the brook the ground rose again, ao that the village was on higher ground, aad the farmer's bouse and barns were om higher ground on his side.\u2018\u2018Standing by the house that afternoon, and happening to look down over the wet meadows, the farmer saw something struggling over the bogs, sometimes on top of one, sometimes failli down between, but keeping coming the time.It was the little pig that he had sold in the meming.It had got ont of the pen in whish it had been placed in the village, and had somehow got started in the right direction and got clear of the village, had come down the slope on the ether side of the brook and had crossed the brook and floundered through the bogs and was now making straight fer home.It was wet through and covered with mud, but it got there all right \u2018\u2018This little pig bad never been ont of its pen before, and hew it found its way back I never could understand.''\u2014 New York sun.Towers For EKleotrie Lights.When arc lights were first introduced for atreet lighting, there was a very exaggerated idea of their lighting power, A light of 1,000 candle power scemed such a powerful illuminator that the idea was very naturally conceived of placing lamps on the top of tall towers and lighting the whole area of a city.Several municipalities adopted this tower system of lighting, of which the best known oxumple ia doubtless Detroit.It wus at once found, however, that a cluster of aru lamps 150 foet or more from the rind might be an excellent plan for ligating the whole of a large arca, but was a very poor plan for lighting city streets.In the average American city, with long blocks, the streets comprise uot more than oue- third of the urea.Henoe with the tower system of lighting 66 per cent or more of the illuminating power is wasted in lighting up house roofs, back yards und vuount lots.Nearly every city of which we have information that originally adopted the tower aystem of lighting has abandoned it.It is therefore quite surprising to learn that Des Moines proposes to put iu a municipal street lighting plant and to use the tower system.What cousid- eration influenced the city authorities to adopt this system we do not know, but wo would strongly urge them to investigate the experience of Detroit aud other cities with the tower system of lighting before they construct wuch « plant in their own city.\u2014Evgincering News.; A beptuagenarian Student.At Warsaw a student han just grado- ated at the ripe age of 75.After pasa- ing his matriculation many years ago lack of funds prevented him from at once proceeding to the university, and he wan compelled to work an a tutor for 20 yearn in order to save envugh money to enable him to continue his studies.At the end of that time he presented himself at the Warsaw Medical academy and passed the entrance examination with distinction.Before he could begin bis atudies the Polish rebellion of 1868 broke out, and Borynik, who was now 41 yeurs of age, threw himaelf into the movement with all the enthusianm of à youthfaol revolutionist.The revolt was suppressed, ahd Borysik was exiled to Siberia, where for 83 years he under- wont hard labor in the silver mines.In 1895 he received a free pardon and returned to Warsaw.In spite of his age aud the hardships he had endured Bory- sik lost none of his enthusiusin for medical work, and took up his studics where he had left them off iu 1868, After a two years\u2019 course this remarkable man bas now, at the age of 75, passed the final medical examination with honors and will begin to practice in Warsaw.==London Daily Mail.The Duke of Leeds.The Duke of Lecds, who, it is said, will succeed Lord Aberdeen as governor general of Canada in June, is 34 years old and has been in parliament aa a member for Lambeth.In 1854 he married Lady Katherine Fraucos Lambeth, a daughter of the second earl of Dur- bam, and they have four pretty little girls.The duke, when he was in parliament as the Marquis of Carmarthen, was the youngest member in the commons and the yeungest looking until he grew a beard.It is told of him that on tho day of his election some one asked bim, \u2018\u2019Bay, boy, docs your mother know you're out: \u2018Yes,\u2019 promptiy replied the youthful politician, \u2018\u2018aud when the votes are connted touight she will know Iam in.\u2019 The family of the duke\u2014 the Oshorne\u2014is one of the oldest and most aristocratic iu all the

because he prefers to remain in Chicago, where he can prosecute his legal business and at tho same time retain his connection with the University Law school, is a son of General titephen D.Lee,

acres cf cultivated corn that wae very well eared, which was cut and set in shock in the field.I thrashed the last days of October, The com wus well dried in the shook.I had about nix acres of outs, the same of barley, and one acro of heavy growth of pean, the vines partly green when out.They were well cured when put into the barn, I talked with different thrashers who seemud to have their doubts about thrashing tho four different grains together.When ready, one thrasher said that he would try it, leaving the oon- cave the samo as whon threghing buok- wheat.I asked the neiglitors to help me thranb, One neighbor said that he would agree to got all the corn from the field où a wheulbarrow we could run tbrougb & rushing anachine.He soon raid that he had no use for the wheelbarrow.We thrashed alt«rnately five or nix bundles of oats or bLaricy, then a shook of corn, then somo pean, kept i6 going, and got nearly 600 bunhels of corn, oats, barley aud peus nicely sepa- mted from the straw snd corustalks, The cornstalks and cars of corn were literally knocked and torn to pieces The corncobs came through the ma chine in pieces from 1 to lé fnches long and went into the mow with straw and stalks.I beliove that there is not a peck of corn on the cob in the mow.The oats snd barley were perfectly thrashed with the buckwheat concave, The dry oat and barley straw and chaff absorbed the moisture from the cornstalks and cobs, and the cattle eat the straw, stalks, cobs, peavines, with a relirh between the feedings of ensilage, The advantage in handling corn in this way is no small item\u2014in fuct, a large advantage.The corn fodder is ne- cure where thero cau bo no posible gvante, with the lenst expense.The husking aud shelling are a more item in comparison with doing it by hand, The grain we did not bin.We exposed tho whole mass to the air and shoveled or moved the whole body cnoe a day for & few days.It soon was free from damp- nes from the corn, so that there was no indication of heating and souring.Then it was put into bins and was ready for grinding.Having tried the experiment, I believe that our neighLory, without an exception, pronounce the thrashing a perfect success, \u2014O.H.B, Oflmes] For Stallions.There meeins to be a difference of opinion in regard to the propriety of using oilineal during the breeding season, and I think the majority of stallion owners disapprove of it at thas particn- lar time.If, however, the stallion\u2019s bowels or digestive organs are out of order, it might be advisable to feed an occasional brea mash\u2014say every Saturday evening\u2014into which half a pint nf oilmeal could be mixed with advantage.The meal should be previously soaked in hot water and allowed to simmer on the back of the stove an hour or so before mixing with the mash, which should also be prepared with hot water and allowed to partially cool.For lean or unthrifty colts there is nothing better than a mash of this kind given daily.\u2014Alexander Galbraith.Live teck Pointe.The most important addition to the resources of live stock men fn recent years has boen alfalfa.It will grow in more localities than was as first believed.In the belt corresponding to the latitude uf southern Ohio it thrives admirably and can safely be recommended to farmers, It needs, bowever, good soil.It does not like clay ground.On good soil in ordinary years two crops can be cot from it.In sommers when there are much rain and moisture it Fields three crops.As a rule cattle, sheep and horses like i$ in winter better thao any other hay.It seeds itself from the manure of animals to which it has been fed.Such fertilisers spread upon thin spots in the alfalfa Seld womid cause the growth to reappear rank and thick.If for any reason

across the St Lawrence at Cornwall and the links of railway on either bank Ww connect it with existing railways, are being built by a company calling itself the New York and Ottawa RR.company, but which has behind it capitalists interested in the Delaware & Hudson and in the Northern N.Y.railways.The proposed road would compete with the St Lawrence & Adirondack road, as it would open up the Adirondack region from the foot of lake Champlain to Moira, and make it accessible both from the north and south.The N.Y.C.is therefore doing everything possible to obstruct the building of the road and at Albany resisted ite being granted a charter.In its argument, the N.Y.C.represented that the Adirondack traffic did not justify the opening of another route, and that their line was not profitable.Despite the great influence brought to bear, it is certain the charter will be granted and that in course of a year or so the Hudson & Delaware will be running through trains from Saratoga to Ottawa and getting the lion's share of the Adirondack travel.The new road will lessen the distance between New York and Ottawa by 50 miles, which will \u2018affect somewhat the passenger traffic of the Canadas Atlantic.The C.P.R.is hostile towards the new line, and is reported to be trying to block its entrance to Ottawa by buying up its proposed route.At the annual meeting of the Dominion millers\u2019 association, held on Thursday at Toronto, it was asserted U.S.flour was sold in the Dominion which was adulterated with corn flour, the quantity mixed varying with the grade.By so adulterating the flour, U.S.millers could afford to pay the duty of 60c per barrel and undersell Canadian makers.If the government inspectors did their duty, such flour would be confiscated as a fraud on the public.The P.P.A.which, some three or so years ago, caused a commotion in political circles and stirred up some apprebension among Catholics, is dead in Canada, and is dying io the States.A Hamilton printer sued the high officers of the order for work he had done, which they refused to pay, claiming it was dose for the order and not them personally.The judge found for the inter, on the ground that the P.P.A.had not been incorporated, and was therefore not a legal body to do business.The P.P.A.in ts day was proof of what secrecy and impudence can do in giving à new order importance.The society never had aay standing and it was prepos- torous to suppose that any order with such designs could have in an intelli- © gest community.The corrected returns for the year ending June 39, show the exports of the Dominion to have been of the vaine of 134 million dollars, an in- erease of 26 millions over the previous year.They will greatly exceed 134 millions for the year now current.The imports were about the same as $a 1008, namely 111 million dollars\u2019 worth.The customs report for the first month under the New tariff are not encouragiag for the finance minis- tor, 20 there is a falling off of nearly $30,000 in revenue.The treaty of 1818 contalos a clause which provides that neither the U.S.gor Dritale shall keep à savy os the laine, beyond revenue eutters with

is beggaring Itsell in having an army that will compete with its neighbor's, we have an object lesson as to the senselessness and waste of money in maintaining armaments beyond what is necessary for police purposes.There is a rumor at Ottawa that the Pope is about to give hie opinion on the Manitoba school settlement and that it will be unfavorable to it.The Southern States are having a scare over yellow fever, a few cases having appeared at New Orleans and along the lower Mississippi.From India the despatches are more re-assuring than they have been.The tribes are still in arms, but there has been no fighting of much consequence, merely outpost encounters.Under General Lockhart a force of 30,000 men is being gathered, which will take the fleld before the end of the month, and endeavor to crush the enemy, of which the leading spirit is the Moslem priest, known best as the \u2018\u2018mad mullah.\u201d In preparing for a campaign in the Himalayan mountains the British are tendered

after-dinner utterances make it clear that the treaty between Germany, Austria, and Italy is still of vital force, & fact that is an unpleasant reminder to France.The gush of the Parisians over the alliance with Russia is in no way affected by their being ignorant of the provisions of the alliance, for the nature of the treaty is still kept secret.On the news of the alliance being effected the French premier imprudently sent & message expressive of the hope that it would lead to the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France.Germany's first intention was to ask for an explanation but as that would have involved the Czar the matter wae dropped.It is easy to see how such provocation might lead to Germany's declaring war while controlled by such an irresponsible leader as William.In a speech the other day he reaffirmed his ruling by divine right in terms that are absolutely blasphemous, and which justify his nickname in England\u2014S8illy Billy.Addressing a brilliant assemblage at

no people, can release the prince views.An important step has been taken by the Jews towards their acquiring Palestine, A meeting, called for that purpose, was held last wesk at Basle, Switzerland, and unanimously agreed the time had come for the Jews to take possession again of the Holy Land.They agreed to raise a fund of 50 million dollars to begin the work.It is well known that during the past 15 years there has been a steady emigration of Jews to their own land, and that thoy now form a large colony in Jerusalem.The belief is, that the sultan is so pushed for money that he would code the country to the Jews for a round sum, but even if he was willing to do so, which is doubtful, the influence of the Greek and Catholle churches would be cast against giviog up Palestine to the Jews.It le On record that the Crimean war originated is à dispute about the holy sopulshre betwess Greek sad Roms Catholic ecclesiastics.Iusurmount- able as the obstacles appear, they shall be

be a continent, is a group of small islands, with an open sea to the north of them.So far as could be ascertained the sea ls an open one with no land or indication of land as far as 82° N.This confirmation of Kane's open polar sea will have the effect of stimulating another expedition with boats to reach the pole.The members of the expedition were so well provided that they did not suffer much during the dreary winter, which was totally dark for four months.HOWICK The manse, at English River, Is expected to be ready for occupation by the end of October.Rev Mr MacDougall of Beechridge

decision of Judge Belanger, refusing the right of Cardinal to become the petitioner against the election of Bergeron, was heard before Judges Loranger and Belanger on Tuesday, and they were agreed in rejecting it.Thereupon the original petition was withdrawn and the case entirely taken out of court.So ends the contestation.The postponed hearing of the St Antoine Abbe liquor cases had again to be put over, owing to the illness of Loupret.Hearing is fixed for the 14th.VALLEYFIELD.The sewer question has been the great topic of conversation herve for the past week.Knots of men gathered onthe street corners, the market place or under the canoples of the grocery stores are sure to have been discussing the question of sewers for Valleyfleld.The question came up over a notice of motion given in the council providing for power to borrow the modest sum of 875,000, to be used as follows: For the improvement of streets.$ 5,000 Opening & new street in the west ON .,.0 20 senc near ca n00 00 Improving the fire protection department.Building new bridge to Little EL Retire debentures due Ist Nov.5,000 Payment o! balance due ou water works.1,300 Construction of main sewers, .60,000 $75,000 The mayor called a public mecting for Tuesday evening to disouss the question.The meeting was not long going until it was evident that no bylaw with so many side issues tacked on could pass, After lengthy discussion the meeting adjourned until Friday evening when the council chamber was again filled withethose for and against the loan.The mass of the people were strongly opposed to the borrowing of money to meet what was considered current expenses, viz., keeping up streets, and the opening of new anes where they are not needed except to improve private property.It was generally admitted that larger sewers were & peoessity, but strong objection was made against the work being done under the existing contract with Mr Vanier of Montreal, who, some years ago, had his plans accepted by the then council.The conditions being that Mr Vanier should supervise and receive 5 per cent.on the cost whenever the work should be carried out.The result of Friday night's meeting was the appointment of a committee of citizens to confer with Mr Vanier with à view to reducing his commission to 8 por cent, on the work tq he dons now, and relinquishing all claims upon future work to be done bythetown.To this be agresd.Apropos of the graat asked for the improvement of streets, it is respectfully submitted that before the council start io to spend that amount they either soçure the services of à man who knows somethiug about rond- making or send one of our paid officials where he can obtain a few glementary lessons on the making of roads.Looking gbput town at the work dons on the streste during the p two or three yasre bi le litle wonder the ratepayers refuse to vote more supplies.Srattering rough broken stones from sidowalk to sidewalk and leaving them uncovered tu be thrown around by the sinall boy, and tramnped over by horses, much to he injury of their feet, not counting the extra wear on the wagons, is not street making; it is the spolling of streets already made.This has not been confined to one street or part of a street, but half the streete about town bear evidence of the ignorance of those who had charge of the work.It would pay Valleyfield well had we the services of a man thoroughly posted on making and maintaining good roads.The town is destined to be the most important inthe district.There is unlimited quantities of material thrown out of the lost channel that would make splendid road-bed, if applied by competent hands, but if the system now in vogue is continued, our streets will soon be a disgrace to the community.Dion's tomato canning factory started last week.The season promises to be a busy one, as the tomato crop ls extra good, and Mr Dion hopes to largely increase the output.The quality of the goods are such as to find ready

wildest enthusiasm, and admiring friends would have stood around the telegraph and telephone offices all afternoon eager to get news of the progress of the match.Now all this is changed.Saturday the Valleyfield team went to Huntingdon, and but few people in town knew it, while less were interested in the resuit.What is the reason?The St Louis show, which will be held on Tuesday, the 14th, promises to bring out one of the best exhibits in the history of the society.A feature of the event which is of interest to stockmen, will be the visit of the hon.commissioner of agriculture, who has signified his intention of being present.The farmers of the district should not miss the opportunity, but bring out their best stock so that the minister may be convinced that the district is one of the best farmed in the province, HAVELOCK A daring daylight robbery was committed at Covey Hill, about five miles cast of Frontier, last Thursday forenoon.William Loudon, a farmer who lives alone, was out in the flelds ate tending to his harvest when his house was broken into and 8227 in money stolen, Entrance was gained through a window and the robber evidently knew where MrLoudon kept the money which was in a box.It consisted of $127 in gold and 6100 in bills, DUNDEE As there was no quorum at the council meeting on Tuesday, an adjournment was made to the evening of the 14th, Wednesday forenoon, -Sept.1, Albert Leduc, son of Michel Leduc of Beauharnois, went with two young men in a boat to fish in the channel at Cardinal.After a few hours amusement, Leduc said he was going to bathe, which he did, though told the water was very deep at that place.He amused himeell for a few minutes and then disappearcd.His compan.fons soon notified his family at Beau- harnois and the body was easily found.He was apprentice baker to Mr Honore Normandeau and of ex- omplary conduct.\u2014LeProgres.On Friday night 4 convicts In St Paul de Vincent penitentiary were on the point of escaping from

\u201c\u2018would be perfectly willing to have Canada annexed to the btates, which would wipe out all the custom houses on the frontier and let Canadian hay and eggs and logs come in with no duty whatever.I! Canadian competition would injure po ane in this cougtry thes, it would injure 80 one BOW.\u2019 THE CHATEAUGAY AGRICULTURAL BOCIETY WAS, as it has been for several yoars past, the first to hold ite annual exhibition, which took place on Tuesday at Ste Martine.The morning was cloudy and cool, threatening rain, but the afternoon was bright and warm.With favorable weather and excellent roads, there was a large attendance, which included a number from Beau- barnols county and a fair sprinkling fromm Huntingdon east, several being exhibitors.The business of the day was long in starting, owing to the board allowing entries past the prescribed time to be taken, so that the judges were late in getting to work and [n completing their duties.The prize-llst was not finished Tuesday evening, so that we are able to give only à part of it, and what we do give is subject to correction.The entries far exceeded those of any previous year and 30 did the receipts at the gate, which were reported as $319, Visitors were all of one mind as to the excellence of the stock.Chateau- gay has been going ahead for years in all that pertains to agriculture, and the enterprise of its farmers in bringing in fresh blood and their skill in breeding is bearing fruit, and today Chateaugay is easily first in the province of Quebec in draft horses, Ayrshire cattle, and Leicester sheep.The fear entertained a few years ago that pre-eminence in draft horses was being lost in pursuit of the notion that driving-horses could be reared to more profit, has proved groundless, for the exhibit of young heavy draft stock surpassed anything before scen on the grounds, showing that farmers are satisfied that, with their limited help and opportunities for training, nothing pays so well as the heavy block that buyers snap-up when they pass 4 years of age.Laberge brought his Percheron into the ring, and the chief objection to him is his color, a dapple grey.He stands high and has a heavy body with smooth strong- boned legs.What his colts will be like will be looked forward to with interest.The brood mares, in both classes, were remarkably fine, and so were the teams.In the heavy-draft there were 11 entries.The single drivers were not equal in merit to the carriage teams.The competition in saddle horses gave some amusement, and at its close the only accident of the day happened.While a son of Mr Greig\u2019s was galloping along the track with the prize-winver, it ran against one of the shafts of the sulky in which McCartney's Negro was hitched.The saddle horse was pierced in the breast, and it was doubted if he could live.Altho two of Chateaugay's most noted prize-takers, William Wylie and James Cottingham, did not exhibit, the display of Ayrshires was remarkable both as to numbers and quality.For instauce, there were 8 2-year old bulls and 13 year-old bulls.The tendency towards breeding a larger sized Ayrshire with good teats was marked.The class of Canadians, which for several years was unrepresented, had a number of competitors, but there was nothing in their appearance to change the opinion that if a farmer wants that style ol cow he will do better to get Jerseys or Guernseys at once, as they are the better type of the stock.The grade cattle included a number of as fine milkers as could be found anywhere.In sheep there was an excellent competition both in Shrops and Leicesters, and the judges spoke well of their quality.In the upper flat vf the bulldlag was presented à rich assortenent of fancy work and domestic manufactures.One silk quilt, from its size and brilliant material, was the talk of all visitors, and is the work of Mrs (Dr) Demers.The custly material used in sofa cushions and the like excited comment.The domestic manufactures, especially the carpets, were excellent.Mrs Wat.won (nee Bryson) had an admirable exhibit of her wkill with brush and erayon.Prominent among the visitors was the Hon Mr Robidoux, who looked remarkably well, and whose health has been re-established.Of the founders of the society, Colonel Me- achern, C.M.G., its original secretary, was on the ground and happily recovered from his illness of last spring.Mr Brown, M.P., was active as a director, and, indeed, so were all the members of the board.That Mr Mallette did his work as secretary accurately and promptly we can bear personal witness.The Chrysostome band furnished the music, and played well.To prevent liquor being sold, the rule was made that all who got stalls had to deposit 810, to be forfeited it complaint was wade of their serving out beer or spirits.The rule seemed to be effectual.The W.C.T.U.of Ormstown was represented by a refreshment tent, which did a thriving business, while the ladies circulated much literature.The following is a portion of the prize-list, of which we will give the remainder in next issue: HORSES HEA VY-DRAFT HORSES Judges\u2014Jas.Bryson, Eu.Robidoux, Octave Charron Clydesdales Aged Stallions 1 M, NEBB.20s 0e

building, which was not half-filled with a meagre display of vegetables, fruit, presorves, and the like, Apart from the 1st prize collection, the apples were ordinary, and, we hope, are not samples of this year's yield.Chateaugay has orchards excelled nowhere in the province, but it is rare for the growers at the Basin to exhibit.Two Franklin exhibitors took the best prizes in apples: 1 T.A.Hanna 2

a man noted for his steady, upright, moral life.I asked his age.It was 64 years.\u201cHow long have you been mining?\u201d \u2018Forty-two years,\u2019\u2019 he replied.Where?\" \u2018Everywhere in North America where mining has been done.\u2019\u2019 Did you ever make a homestake?'\u2019 \u201cI never made more than a living, and very often & scant one at that,\u201d he y, replied.This man was in the Yukon valley for ten years, and looked forward to dying and being buried there.He was lucky enough to locate a claim on El Dorado creek, in partnership with an old Scotchman who had had a similar experience.Last March they sold their claim for $20,000.Had they held it twenty days longer they would have got $40,000 as easily as they did the 920,000.As it was, they were enabled to leave the country with between $11,000 and $12,000 each, and as they are verging on three score years and ten they considered that they had enough to do them the rest of their days and went out to rest.These instances might be multiplied again and again, but I suppose that it would be no good, nor would it determine a single individual from try- fog his luck.My belief is that the man who stays at home and plods on his farm or in the shop or in the office is in the vast majority of cases better off, healthier physically and morally, has had infinitely more enjoyment of lite, and has entered the end of nature and God vastly more completely than the man who devotes his life to the calling of every day placer gold wining.But then somebody must do it, and les us give all honor to them who do it, as befits a man, for I can assure you if you are viciously inclined there is no calling in which you can waste your life so completely and fully In every sense of the word as that of the miner in the ordinary mining camps.Ulirestrained gambling, drinking and debauchery of the lowest grade have ruined and will ruin hundreds of lives.But enough of this; let me speak of the probable extent of the gold bearing region.Gold has been found in a certain zone in British Columbia, running through the Cariboo and Cas- siar districts.Project the axis of this zone northwesterly and we touch Tes- lin Lake, Hootalinqua river, Stewart river, Indian creek, Tecoandike, Sixty Mile, Forty Mile, American creek, Seventy Mile and Birch creek.Now, ft is highly improbable that, gold being found at all these points, the futerveming spaces are barren.Thus we have a zone of upward of five hundred miles in length, some of it in Alaska, more of it in the Canadian Northwest Territory, and much of it in British Columbia, which will yet be the scene of numerous mining enterprises, both placer and quartz, the later practicaily inexhaustible.This country under more favorable conditions would be the richest and most extensive mining area in the world.The conditions are: First, pretty nbarly nine months\u2019 winter; barrenness, almost total, 60 {ar as vegetable supply of food is concerned; the earth abounds in eternal frost; intense cold during the winter months, with the thermometer often reaching 60 and 70 degrees below zero; 50 degrecs frequent, 40 degrees common almost daily; in the summer warm days ocea- sionally, succeeded by cool days, almost verging on freezing; à country practically unfitted for roads other than pack track.The streams are swift and shallow.The Yukon excepted, very few of tham are fit for other than small boat navigation.Notwithstanding all this, we have here à wide field for profitable investments, and room for thousands of happy, contented, cultivated homes.\u2018The present mode of taking supplies into the country is via St Michael, thence up the Yukon fifteen to eighteen hundred miles on steamers, against 2 atiff current the greater part of the way.The question of & road from some point in southwestern Alaska to some into some point on the head waters of tbe river I cannot at present pédiioly discuss, but it would seem that the proper and full development of the country depends much on the watcess of some auch scheme, Berlin, Sept.6\u2014As Magdeburg, & Secislist editor has besu arrested for speaking disrespecttully of the trousers worg by the Emperor al the unveiling of a monument here, SHERBROOKE EXHIBITION Tux following prises come to this district: DRAFT HORSES M an diploma\u2014Robert Caires, Calrselds © Pair mares or geldings, over 18308 and under 1400\u20141 Robert Calrne CLYDRSDALES Stallion, 4 years and up\u2014!

Many nations there were on that continent who three monthe ago did not know what Canada was.For them Canada was a barren name, but, thanks to the efforts of the Canadiau government, the German and Belgian treaties were denounced.On that day there went a thrill through Europe that a new nation bad been born on the American continent, (Cheers.) As a nation we are freer today than we have ever been, freer certainly than three months ago, and while today we are freer than we were three months ago, the legislative independence of Canada is more acknowledged than it ever was at the same time.As a ver sult of this new concession to freedom by England, the same result is produced as has always followed such concessions, namely, Canada becomes if possible still more attached to the great nation of which we are descendants and the great Empire of which we are proud to form a part.(Cheers.} That has been the history of such matters.The more we have of freedom, the greater our attachment to the Moihey Land.That is the spirit in which I have sought tg discharge the duties with which I have been en: trusted.The eorner-stone of the Montreal

the Caughnawaga Indian reserve, Mr J.McLean, the deputy superintendent general of Indian affairs, has at last been able to keep to his promise by a short visit.He was sent by.the department through the instance of Mr James P.Brown, mem- der for Chateaugay, to hear the grievances of the Indians of the reserve.The main subject or grievance spoken of was of an educational matter with reference to the choice of à teacher for thé boys' school of the reservation.The present government had dismissed the late teacher, and appoloted another, a young man of French parentage, at the demand of some few parties, residing on the reserve, while at the same time, the petition Lo the dcpart- went, of all the councillors and the very great majority of the band were not given any consideiation whatever.At the meeting it was generally resolved, that: As soon as any Indian acquires the necessary knowledge and requisite qualification as a teacher, that such Indlan be appointed when opportunity offers, and a second resolution was passed that: Our choice for teacher (mentioning name), who possesses the requisite knowledge and qualifications, be appointed to the position as teacher.Pending the approval of the superintendent general of Indian affairs, of the above resolutions, and in determination of the band, that their nationality and choice should be given the position, it was stated, before the official, on the information granted them, that the school building belongs to the tribe, that they would close the school until word of approval of their demand by the department be sent them.A correspondent of the Toronto Globe has paid a visit to Crow's Nest pass railway works, and writing under date August 26 says such good progress is being made that the line will be finished as far as the Rockies by November.There are now 100 miles in hand, of which the first 10 miles is about finished.Temporary timber bridges are being put in to be replaced by steel ones later on.There are about 3000 men and 800 teams engaged in building the railway.The uniform rate of wages for the men employed as teamsters and laborers is 8206 a month and board.Much of the country through which the railway will run je rolling and in many places cut by deep coulees which necessitate a large amount of earth work.Owing to the ranges of hills which break the country in this district, the line takes several curves to avoid deep cutting.The Toronto exhibition, now going op, Is declared to be ahead of any former year, and the best on the continent.Daniel Drummond of Petite Cote has done remarkably well

other centres, have received notices thas their services will not be required after this week.Many of the firms affected declare that they are preparing to move their establishments to the continent,

Toronto, giving Lis observations of things political in Ireland.The letter fs as follows: Sir, -1 promised just before my departure on a visit to Ireland, to give you a description of the state of that country, especially from a political standpoint, Lest I might jump at conclusions | walted to discuss matters political with all classes, and In varl- ous parts of the country.I commenced my work of seeking information at Londonderry, before 1 was an hour on shore, and continued it on my trip to Dublin and Limerick.Since my arrival home on the banks of Lough Derg, the largest and most beautiful of the expansions of the Shannon, I have cultivated the acquaintance of politicians in Clare and Tipperary, so that if I have not a tolerably correct idea of how Ireland stands politically at present, it is not for want of hearing all sides, and the result of my investigations is that the question of Home Rule {8 for the present dead.Not that the people have lost interest in the question, or do not desire Home Rule as ardently as ever, but they have no confidence in their present parliamentary representatives.What à contrast between the situation now and that of thirteen years ago! Then there was a united parliamentary party under a great leader; great political demonstrations were of weekly occur rence; the people were full of enthusiasm.Today instead of a great united party, which cmnpellud the respect of its foes, there are three or more jarring factions that provoke the contemptuous ridicule of their opponents.Instead of enthusiasm you have the apathy of despair.During the last month not a single political meeting of any importance has been held in the province of Munster, or 1 believe in any other province.The people are so tired of hearing their representatives oriticizing one another, instead of discussing grave questions, that they are sick of political meetings.One hardly hears a word about Home Rule from the Irish people now, whereas, some years ago, at every casual wayside meeting, that and similar meetings would be sure ta crop up before live minutes were spent in conversation\u2019 A parliamentary paper entitled *\u2018Revenue and Expenditure\u2019 has been issued showing the balances of revenue contributed by England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively, which are available for Imperial expenditure after the local expenditure of those divisions of the United Kingdom has been met.The total revenue as contributed for the year 1868-47 was: kngland, £90,- 240,000, equal to 81.48 per cent.; Scotland, £11,686,000, or 10.62 per cent.; and Ireland, £8,146,000, or 7.40 per cent, The local expenditure was: England, £29,554,000, equal to 74.25 per cent.; Scotland, £4,280,000, or 10.75 percent.; and Ireland, £5,970,000, or 16.00 per cent.The balances thus available for Imperial expenditure were: England, £60,886,000, equal to 86.36 per cent; Scotland, £7,406,000, or 10.54 per cent.; and Ireland, £2,176,000, or 3.10 per

not support the landlord, the managing farmer and the actual worker.That ane class must go is the inevitable conclusion, and that that class must be the landlords is equally inevitable.The laborer must live, and so must the equally useful farmer or manager.What professes t0 be the smallest recorded specimen of the equine race is now on view in Milan, Italy.It ie the property of the Marchese

810 to the retail liquor seller.Then, no less than 57,832,141 pounds of that grain used by our Canadian distillers was corn, every pound of which was imported from the United States.That rcprosents more than two-thirds of all the grain consumed.Deducting that and the Canadian farmer is left with less than an avor- age of 5 conts' worth of grain to each proof gallon.Sc much for \u201c\u2018the grain question\u2019 fu connection with 1\u2019ro- hibition.What about compensation?Many, both in parllament and out of it, appear to be, even now, much agl- tated about that.Have not the distillers been pretty largely compensated already?The facts would indicate that.The Gooderhams are said to be the wealthiest men in Canada.The Walkers, who began almost barehanded, it is said, years ago, are now among the best known millionaires of the west.Wiser, the Prescott distiller, is sald to have amassed a large fortune.Seagram, of Waterloo, now sports the most expensive stahles af race houses of any man in the province, comparing well with some of the princes and lords of England.Corby, of Belleville, is sald to have made more money than any other manufacturer in the \u2018\u2018Six Nations,\u201d and keeps up his private steamer, his grand equippgo god all thar.The government has enabled these men to gorge themselves with wealth, while thousands of their most faithful customers have been plunged In poverty and vagrancy, Who aro tho parties that should now be compensated, and from whom should the compensation come?Let us think the matter over! \u2014The Templar, In the report

exhibition, and was the best seen here for many years.The day was an ideal one for lacrosse, which had much to do with the keenness and vim displayed by the players.It took 36 minutes to score the first game and 7 for the second, both falling to the credit of Huntingdon.The third game was in play 54 minutes, when Vailey- fleld claimed game, which the umpire would not allow.The umpire was from Montreal and having given his decision \u2018\u2018no gaine,\u2019 the proper thing, according to lacrosse laws, was to have him replaved by another and the match finished.Instead of that, Val- leyfleld refused to play the remaining 27 minutes.The referee, Dr Walsh, declared Huntingdon victors by two straight games.The match throughout was a clean and gentlemanly one, and the players on both teams gave a first-class specimen of lacrosse.\u2014On Saturday an elderly woman went round the village begging, repre.sonting she was from Ogdensburg, and making her way to Montreal.On Sunday she and

With Shetgun, » Double Barreled That tale related of an Alabama girl who shot a young man a couple of times and then married him recalls the method employed by George Bards- ley, one of the early day sheriffs of Ellis county, in appointing his deputies.One night he was called to Chris Riley\u2019s saloon, where \u201cTexas Frank.\u201d a newly arrived desperado In Hays City, was \u201cshooting out\u201d the place\u2014a performance which consisted in the promiscuous firing of his \u201cgun\u201d at the barkeeper, bystanders, lamps, bottles and Pictures.Sheriff Bardsley grabbed the first weapon handy in his own saloon, which happened to be a double barrelled shotgun, and proceeded to Riley's on the run.Dashing in he ordered Frank to throw up his hands, and the response was a bullet from Frank's 44.Letting go both barrels of his shotgun, Bardsley brought the desperado to the floor, wo full of shot holes that be eouldn\u2019t hold either air or water.Frank was not killed, however, and in course of time recovered, under the kind attention which he received in the county jail.Presently it was observed that the Texas man was walking around town without a\u2019 guard, and & little later the people were astonished to find him serving legal papers and making arrests.Bardsley was approached by a newspaper man at this time, when the following colloquy took place: \u201cIs \u2018Texas Frank\u2019 your deputy?\u201d queried the reporter.\u201cYep!\u201d was the sententious response of Bardsley.\u201cHow does that come?\u201d was the next fnquiry.\u201cWell, you

masculine apparel which the irreverent call a \u2018\u2019stovepipe\u201d and has found in it proof of man's superiority to woman.Time was, he says, when men, like women now, ornamented their hats with ribbons and feathers more or less beautiful and wore garments of the brightest colors they could find.This was all \u201cplumage d'amour; it indicated no intellectual superiority and no moral worth.It merely represented the superiority of the peacock over the peahen.Now men have molt- od.Their headgear has become the un- plumed \u201cstovepipe,\u201d their habit theinex- pressive frock cost.It is woman, the professor points out, who wears the \u201cplumage d'amour\u201d today, in her hat and elsewhere.Nature, he explains, means something by every evolution or revolution she permits.What she means by this one fa that fine feathers are best suited to the feather brained.The plumed hat of woman is symbolical of her fall, the plain \u201cstovepipe\u201d of man, of his rise in intellectuality.Man's mora! worth, in short.has become such that he can lose plumage to the inferior animals.If this isn\u2019t \u201cJust like a man for all the world,\u201d ever was.\u2014New

yes, passed me and a wheen other foik, and looked an if be nelther kent nor cared how publie he was making himself.She did not care either\u2019, I addressed some remarks to Janet on thesubject of meddling with other people's affairs, pointing out that she was now half an hour late with my tea ; but I, too, was interested to see the sailor.I shall never forget what a change came over Linzie when Isaw hor next.The life was back in her face, she busiled ubout the house as busy as a bee, and her walk was springy.\u201cThis is him,\u201d she said to me, and then the sailor came forward and grinned.He was usually grinning when 1 saw him, but be had an honest.open face, if à very youthful one.\u2018I'he salior stayed on at the clachan till the marriage, and continued to scandalise Janet by strutting \u201cpast the very manse gate\u201d with his arm around the happy Lizzie.\u201cHe has no notion of the solemuity of marriage,\u201d Janet informed me, \u2018or he would look less jolly.I would not likes man that joked about his marriage.\u201d The sailor undoubtedly did joke.He seemed to look on the coming event as the mont comical affair in the world\u2019s history, and when he spoke of it he slapped his knees and roared.But there was daily fresh evidence that he was devoted to Lizzie.The wedding took place «a the smiddy, because it is a Lig place, and all the glen was invited.Lizsie would have had the company select, but the sailor asked every one to come he fell in with, and he bad few refusais.He was wonderfully \u201cflush\u201d of money, too, and had not Lissie taken control of it would have given it all away before the marriage took place.\u201cIt\u2019s A mercy Lizzie kens the worth of a bawbee,\u201d her mother said, \u2018for he would scatter his siller among the very bairns as 1f it was corn and he was feading hens.\u201d All the chairs in the five houses were not sufficient to seat the guests, but the smith is a handy man, and be made forms by crossing planks on tubs.The amiddy was aa amazing night, lit ap with two big lamps;

and worn it he has every Sunday since, except when it is not there to wear.For the whereabouts of that gown isonly known at irregular intervals to many persons at a time.Now it i« in the lawful owner's possession, and again in the hands of the enemy\u2014that is, of the Session\u2014who scruple not to make off with it of a Saturday night and restore it to the vestry on Monday morning.Lent it be concluded that the gown has bred ill-feeling between the pastor and his people, let me say at once that this is not so.It has been admitted by all (though neither in writing nor in spoken words) that, gown or no gown, Fiudlateris the man for them.True, a maiden who subscribed has been naked to return a ring by a gentleman, who, though not a deacon, hus already the walk of one ; but this she refused to do, on the ground that men are hard to get; and thus a tragedy is averted.Again, though the opposition is, undeniably, led by the pillars of the kirk, the gown wns presented Ly her of the sealskin, who was educated at an Edinburgh boarding school where only Free Church plants are received ; and thus must her actions-be rigkt and proper.It is, then, with a chastened exuitation that the Ses sion see the minister fail to find his gown ; while on those occasions when he unexpectedly appears in it (they thinking it to be at that moment hidden in the smiddy), they good-naturedly overlook the triumph with which he gives out his first psalm.How often the gown has disappeared and been returned or captured I cannot tell.Only occasioually am I in the place for a week-end, and then can no otie assure me for certain whether or no we are to have a gown Sunday.At first the gown was kept in the vestry, where it hung on a nail so temptingly that a garden rake entered by the window and abdncted it.That was on a Saturday evening, aud service on the following day began some twenty niinutes late.The gown was on its nail by Monday at 10 a.m., and lo:ked away in the vestry press atllam.;and for some weeks the minister triumphed.Then again he had to preach without his gown in the forenoon.Between services it was found lurkiug behind a tombstone.Somefsay that he had left the koy in the press; others that, whether locked or not, the press opens if shaken by those who have the knack of it.But those supposed to have the knack of it say nothing, and equally reticent is Fimllater, save in the presence of Kirsteen.his housekeeper, who can goad any man to language.latterly Findlater has kept the gown In the manse, from which he now walks to church in it.Even from the manse has jt been removed by daring hands, despite (as the minister once thought) Kirsteeu's un wearying guard over it, but (us he now holds) with the connivance of that double woman.There was a time when Kirsteen was allowed to take the gown to the kitchen, there to renew the seams at the armpit, which gave way when Fiundlater was promouncing the henediction ; but then had the gown a habit of running of through the shrubbery the moment her back was turned, Henge the uew regulation that, when the gown requires mending, it is mended Ju the minister's pres- euce.The lady in the senalskin (which the envious call plush, though they sit immediately behind her, and have felt it with their fingers, when pretending to be merely laying their Bible on the \u201cboard\u2019) considers Findlater's silence in the face of such persecution siugularly beautiful ; and so lt fs, unless Kirstean's stories be true of the way he opeus out on the sub- ect to her.Only once in public has the gown lod to lie forgetting himself ; aud thea the circumstances were trying.The manse garden and the church were osly the breadth of a bursa and a highread apart, snd the miuister hus Lo jump the burn.Ihave seen him du so often, and always first with a look round to apologise for the undiguified nature of the act.Such, I at sure, is bis meaning; but there are those who maintain that he only looks bout him to make surethat no ous is is the vicinity with designs ou the gowu.On the occasion in question, just as be was on the point of jumping, it seemed to him that an impious haud had tried to pluck the gown off him.His assailant was in reality but the branch of a tree dipping suddenly ia the wind titi it towch- ed his shoulder; but before Findlater realized this he clutched his gown with both hands and\u2014said something.I called at the mause to-duy and found Findlater in his study, busy at his sermon.Heo was sitting on the gown.WIVES SHOULD REMEMBER That air and sunshine are potent aids to good cheer.That the home should be & republic and not an autocracy, That a good cook is the root of health and happiness.That cross words spoil the home more than muddy boot-tracks.That upholstered furniture and heavy hangings are germ collectors.That there is nothing which makes the heart grow fonder of home than occasional absences from it.That better is a room where there is disorder and cordiality thun a dustiessjupart- ment and could welcome\u2014New York World.A Desdiy Enemy.It goes without saying that the saloon is u most deadly enemy of the home ; the more Ît Is decorated the more daugerous.To multitudes of our young men, and to a vast number of the humbler laboring classes, the saloon becomes à chandeliered aud crimsoned guleway to hell! Lut all the drinking habits are not formed in the dram-shop or the billiard room of the clubhouse.A vast many take their first drink at their parents\u2019 table or at social parties in private houses.I once ofliciat- ed at a wedding where there was a popping of champagne corks like a discharge of musketry.Not long afterward I was called ou to labor for the reformation of a drunken son in that very family.His parents had been his tempters.The futh- er who puts à wine bottle on his table and the lady of the hoïse who provides\u2014trom false slavery to fashion\u2014iutuxicating bev.orages for her guests wre playing with fire.If any one forms the drinking habit ot is strengthened iu such habit through their temptation, they ace before God responsible for the fatal mischief wrought.As the total abstinence societies have declined, nud pledges to abstain have been too often abandoned, there is & percapti- ble Increase of social drinking.Liquor on the table or the sideboard is often the first step to liquor in the clubor the saloon or the restauraut.A family teetotal pledge hung on the wall would be about the most ornamental piece of furniture in many a dwelling.\u2014Dr.Cuyler.To Make the Dalry Pay.Determine in your own mind the amount of butter a cow should produce weekly to pay for her food and the labor of caring for her.Subject each animal to an individual test and dispose of all those fatling to come up tu the mark.Let the trial be a fair one and see that proper rations are given.Equal parts of wheat, oats and corn make a fairly good milk ration.If a small root ration can be added, the yield of milk will bo more satisfactory as a rule Shelter the animale from the cold and wet by bat- teniug the cracks or lining the stable with tarred paper.Make a good article of butter, put it up in attractive shape and brand it s0 that it may be eeslly recognized.\u2014 Buckeye.Farm Notes Treat your pig as well an you do your horse, and he will show more intelligence than some people do in their care of pigs.Pige appreciate potatoes more than do most other animals.It ia their nature to root and find such things in the ground, and next to following this natural propensity is the privilege of having such things offered them.A email amount may be profitably fed raw, bus large quantities will not do unless boiled, Put into a tub bblore they are cold they should be mashed and mized with milk and a little cornmeal.The quantity should not bo large at first, but small and gradually increased, It used to be the habit of farmers te kill the largest turksys for market, and save for breeding some of the later broods that had not got their growth.The ides was that with good feed and care these will be as large by spring as those hatched early in the season, and which get nearly their fuil growth by the holidays.But this is rarely the case.The Iate turkey, small at Christmas, bscomes stunted, and never attains the size it would if batehed earlier.Breeding from these immature and stunted turkeys rans ous the breed.Some experienced turkey breeders keep thelr largest fowls for breeding an retain them till they are two years ol The chicks from these older turkeys are stronger and less lable to die off while young.The young of the turkey is a tender bird at the best.It will pay te breed only trom birde that have attained good size and full maturity.The Difference, Winks\u2014 What makes you look so blue!

turkeys for mar- La is given by à well known produce commission bouss in Chicago: \u2018\u2019Keep from food 24 hours.Kill by bleediug in the mouth or opening the veins iu the veck.Hang by the feet until properly bled.Head and feet should be lefs on and the intestines und crop should not be drawn.For scalding poultry the water should be as near the boiling poiut as possible without aetu- ally boiliug.Pick the legs dry before scalding.Hold by the head and legs and immerse and lift up and down three times.If the head is immersed, it turns the color of the comb and gives the oyes o shrunken appearance, which lcads buyers to think the fowl hag been sick.**The feathers and piufeathers should be removed immediately, very cleanly and without breaking the skin.Then \u2018plamp\u2019 by dipping ten seconds in water nearly or quite boiling hot und then immediately into cold water.Hang in a cool place until the avimal heat is entirely out.It should be entirely cold, but not frozeu, before being packed.Dry picked chickens und turkeys sell best, and we udvire this way of dressing, as they scll better to shippers.Sculded chickens and turkeys generally are sold to the local trade.**To dry pick chickens and torkeys properly tho work should be done while the bird js bleeding.Do not wait and let the bodies get oold.Dry picking is more easily done while the bodies are warm.Bu careful and do not break and toar the skin Pack in boxes or barrels \u2014boxes holding 100 to 200 pounds are preferuble\u2014und pack snugly.Straighten out the body and legs so that they will not arrive very much bent and twisted out cf shape.Fill the package ay full as possible to prevent shuffling about on the way.Mark kind aod weight and shipping directions neatly and plainly on the cover.Burrels nn- ewer better for chickens and ducks than for turkeys or geese.When couvenient, avoid putting more thau one kind in a package.Endeavor to market all old aud heavy cocks before Janu.1, as after the holidays the demaud is for small, round, fat hen turkeys only, old tows being sold at a discount to canuexs.\u2019\u2019 Thoroughbred Fowls.It in said that breeding for points destroys egg production.Mr, C.H.Wyck- off's Leghorns have made a record of 194 eggn each per year in a flock of 50, and 50 of Mr.Felch'a Brabmas laid an average of 160 egga in one year.In most cgg contests conducted by the agricultural papers the winners have been thoroughbred fowls.One of the stock arguments used to support this alleged nonlaying on the part of thoroughbred fowls is that fanciers inbreed to an alarming extent in order to secure desired *\u2018points,\u2019\u2019 and this charge is made iu spite of the known fact that fanciers are yearly procuring fresh stock both from England and from different parts of their owu country to use in their mat.ings.Intelligent funciers wbo do inbreed to some extent do it carefully and for the most part without detriment ta their stock.They cannot afford to carry it to a point where it would be o detriment.In the meantime it has yet to be proved that inbreeding (where the most vigorous speciinens are each year selected for breeders) is an injurious practice from any point of view.The stock exclamation is that it not only reduces size, but cortails egg production.But the Sebright bautam has been constantly inbred for 40 years.No other breed probably has been so coustaut- ly and eo widely inbred as have these baptams, and yet the Sebright is a remarkably prolific layer of eggs, and egus, too, that are very large for the size of the-ben.All who have ever bred Sebrights must admit this prolificacy in the matter of eggs.Aud here is another point of interest.Though inbred for 40 years, the Svbright persists in getting so big that he has to be starved down to standard weight to be shown, while hundreds of finely marked birds buve to remain away from the shows because no dieting process would bring them down to the maximum weight allowed by the standard, A Drinking Foustaln.The illustration represents a simple drinking fountain for poultry.The top is hinged so that the drinking dish Can be easily filled or emptied.It may either be fastened to a wall or placed on the ground in any convenient locality.Diseases of Fowls, One teaspoonful of liquid carbolic acid given in two quarts of water is an excellent preventive of most diseases among fowls.One tablespoonful of chlorate of potash in one quart of water for roup; for little chicks that are weak in the legs one teaspoonful of sulphate of soda in one quart of water.For worms, give ten drops of aloes or spirits of turpentine in a pint of water.For gapes, add a few drops of spirits of camphor or turpentiue to the drinking water.For cold or catarth, put ten dropsof aconite in à pint of water.For sucexing or running at the nostrils, put about one tablespoouful of kerosene oil in one quart of water.Asafetida tied op ins rag and placed in the drinking water for the fowls will be a good rem- ody for roup, aleo a preventive of mont discus, R.L.MUROHISON, B.C.L.,1L.B.{Gold Medalist, McGill University, '87) arrister, &c., New York Life Bu!ld ing, Noll Place

Serces Frames In Faver\u2014Pretly Recs With Japanese Gold Coré\u2014Unigue Ve Fer à Lace Doily\u2014Twe Novel and Daisty A photograph bolder is invariably as- eeptable to man Of Woman at every age snd in every season.It has also, like other popular articles, fashions of its own.Juss now the screen photo bolder LACE DOILY FRAMR, .te a prime favorite, probably becanse té can be folded flat, ready for transportation to mountain and seaside abidiug places, to give them a homelike touch during vacation days; perhaps also because it is equally decorative to table, mantel and dresser alike, Some of these screen framed ure velvet covered, others are made with velvet paper instead of the real article.One of the duintiest in of white linen dock embroidered in delft blue silk in outline stitch in imi- tution of delft china.Screen frames can be developed in two entirely different ways, according to whether the maker isa good embroiderer or an artist.In the former caso the folds which compose the screen muy be covered with dark green or blue velvet and the designs put on with Japanese gold and gold beads.The Japanese gold is about the thickness of stout twino avd is put on by catching it down with buttonhole stitch with yellow sewing silk.The pattern should be stamped on the velvet before the screen is pat together, or drawn on with a white crayon.The foundation of the screen is stiff cardboard, two layers of which are used.Novel and very pretty ia a frame of batteuberg lace stretched over blue velvet with a cardboard foundation, The photo is inserted between the velvet and the cardboard and shows in the circular center.A pretty way of making a photo holder in this manner of an imitation lace doily is to gild the entire lace, afterward stretching it over the velvet.The gilding can be done with ordinary liquid gold.Care should be taken to have the lace pinned out perfectly flat while gilding it and leaving it flat until thoroughly dry.Almost any design for a deily can be used for this holder, provided it is not too large, and when a delicate shade of velvet or satin is used to cover the cardboard foundation the effect is partioularly dainty.A taking little triangular frame is covered with linen crash of a light ecru color.Tho embroidery is done in silver green and white, the wreath bLeing of mistletoe leaves and berries.The ribbon bow and the border are done in pale blue, and the whole is very dainty.A hanging affair shaped like a card case represents quite a novelty.The inner part consists of several leaves of thin cardboard, covered with white silk and slightly wadded with acented oot- ton.Between these leaves the photos are laid.The outer part is made of stiff cardboard, covered with white brocade, inside and out.Silver chaius and a DAINTY

Designer.Peas Stewed In Cream.For green peas stowed in cream boil one quart of fresh peas in boiling salted water until they are tender; then drain them.Put over the fire in a saucepan two tablespoonfuls of butter, and when it is melted atir in a large tablespoonful of flour.Add one cup of cream or rich milk and let it cook five minutes before turning in the drained peas.Season with salt and pepper and half a teaspoonful of sugar.Serve as soou as the peas aro heated.A Strawberry Dessert Dish.Cook rice, somewhat stiff, as for cr- dinary use, and spread a layer of it on a large flat plate; then add a layer of strawberries, then rice, aud again strawberries, und form a pyramid, topping it off with a fine large berry and arranging a row of Lig berries around the edge.This makes a pretty dish, to be Baten cold with sugar and cream.Cherries and Tapieca.Cook aud sweeten three teacupfuls of pitted swoet cherries.Cover with two tablespooufuls of tapioca which has been soaked 13 hours in a little cold water, then cooked in 23 teacupfule of tailk and sweetened with half a teacupful of sugar.Serve with sweetened cream flavored with vanille, THE PEAR BLIGHT.The following ou treatment for peas blight is incorporated im the report of the Mew Jersey State Horticultural se- ciety: First, aim to put the tree in a condition to rendes it the least liable to attack.This means to so manure and cultivate shat the tree will mot grow sapidly.Thus the more a tree is fed the worse is will fare when attacked by the blight.Trees thas are highly fertilised with nitrogenous manures are especially lisble to blight.In short, overstimals- tion with manures is to be avoided.Good tillage iu the same way, while i$ makes « tree bear, also tends to increase the susceptibility to blight.Anything that retards the growth is beneficial so fur as the disease is concerned.The ce.chiardist must stimulate by manures and cultivate suficiently to give a good crop and shun that which will do more Soil and sitoution will determine largely whether vod or cultivated may be best to resist the blight.The second method is the extermination of the blight germs, which seems to be the only direct remedy.This is dore by cutting out snd burning all blighted portions of the trees, Every tree of the pane family, including the apple, pear, quince, crab, mountain ash, service berry and bawthorn should be treated iu the same manner.Particular attention should be paid to the active blight of late autumn, cot- ting it out and burping the branches before spring arrives, It is important to cut out the blight whenever seen, but all should be removed before the next growing season begins, To put the treatment in small compass, ull blight should be removed as goon as seen while the trees are growing.A thorough inspection necds to be made in the Jute fall for any branches showing blight.After those are cut out a sharp outlook should be kept for the disease in the orchard the next spring.In connection with pruning and burning, the trees should not be stimulated beyond what is required for a fair growth of wood and the production of a profitable crop.Scale on Fruit Trees, \u201cI have not tried linseed ofl to destroy scale, but I have tried common lime wash and tried it so successively for the pnst 40 yeurs that I have not tried anything else.\u201d Thus writes as high authority.as William Saunders, Washington, in Meeban\u2019s Mountbly.He adds: \u201cNot only for fruit trees, but for all sorts of trees.For instance, trees in oit- ies frequently become somewhat stunted in growth and covered with the bark scale.When a case of this kind is encountered, the trees are headed back during the fall, all small spray removed and the whole bedy and branches covered with lime wash, which effectually cleans them.Orange trees when attacked are treated in the same way aud with the same result.\u201d Plants on Veranda, Plants in pots make an especially attractive dressing for the veranda.And here, too, they can be easily cared for.To show them to the best advantage, put up a shelf, as shown in the accompanying illnstration from American Gardening, just inside the rail and a little below it.In this way the flowers will show to great advantage from the outside, and the pots will be in no dan- VERANDA SHELF FOR PLANTA, ger of being overturned, as they surely are when resting upon the broad top of a veranda rail.Another advantage thus gained is that the pots are not fully exposed to the sun, and the roots are mot likely to be hurned out.A flower box of considerable length and just high enough to come to the top of the rail will also prove very attractive when filled with a choice collection of flowers.It does house plants much good, moreover, to get them out of doors in this way for the summer months, while in the position shown they can be much more easily cared for than when in the bouse.Lies ou Rosebushes.There are several remedies for lice on rosebushes.First, wet the leaves and sprinkle with powdered hellebore; second, wet the leaves and sprinkle with sir slaked lime, plaster or finely sifted wood ashen; third, spray with kerosene emulsion; fourth, spray with hellebore lea.\u2018Floral Brevities, Mr.E.8.Carmen classes the Crimson Rambler as one of the hardiest roses in his collection, Cannas of note

growers make their ladders too heavy.There ig on endless waste of muscle in handling anreasonably heavy structures dag after day.There is no wear of any amonnt about a laddez.If it is strong encagh 1 FIG.L\u2014MAKING A LADDER.when first made, it will he so as long as it exists.No extra allowance of material need be made on that account, The desirable features of a ladder are least weight and the greatest strength, The first we can have by naing basswood throughout, sides and rounds, or, if wo oan obtain it, so called shoemake for the latter, as it is atill lighter than basswood.The sides should be tapered .both ways as much as possible and stil} retain sufficient strength.It is the weight of the top end that makes a ladder heavy aud clumey to handle.This in the great objection to those adjustable section ladders thut are now offered to the public.They ure too top beavy.Thus writes a contributor to The Farm and Fireside, who is also authority for the following: Tho strength of the sides lies in their shape, A round or square stick is uot nearly as strong as when the same amount of material is changed.into a board or strip of one-half its thickness, but twice as wide.Besides, the holes for the rounds weuken the round or square stick a great deal more than they do the flat.This principle is plainly shown at Fig 1, a.representing a stick one iuch square, b a slat one- half inch thick and two inches wide and 0 a bourd one-fourth of an inch thiok, aud four inches wide, Although all three forms contain tho same quantity of material, a ove inch hole would eut the first clear off, leave one-half of the second and only take one-fourth of the third.Thus the wider the board the leas it is weakened by the holes, The proper size of the sides must, of course, be governed by the length, I have now in nse an 18 foot all basswood ladder, with sides of the following dimensions, 13¢ by 8 inches at the bottom, tapered five-eighths of an inch by 23\u20ac inches at the top.The rounds are turned 13 inches at the middle and tapered to fit seven-eighth inch holes at the ends.The whole weighs 34 pounds.It is 80 easy to handle that a person of common strength oan take it by the second and fifth rounds and easily raise it from the ground.When firat made, 15 years ago, it was intended for hiving bees.Since then its purpose has been lost sight of, and it bas been used for all parposes\u2014picking apples, painting buildings, served for carpenters\u2019 use in building, has been loaned to neighbors and has answered ag a barn Indder when not otherwise in use, and today it is practically as good as when new, I have also an 11 foot addition to the same ladder, making outside of the lap 26 feet in the clear.The sides of this are straight, 115 by 8 inches, and the 2 us lap is shown in Fig.9.The lower w ond of the ladder ll proper bas a | notch to rest on the upper round M of the addition, and the addition has on its upper end an iron clasp to hold it firmly in its place.This clasp is made of À band iron and fastened .by a five-sixteenths bolt.The whole combination | woighe 44 ! pounds and can FIG.1L\u2014LADDER WITH be easily handled ADDITION.one person, As it is not always practical, especially for long ladders, to secure basswood for the sides we have to resort to pine or cedar poles.In this case we should not sacrifice future convenience for the little time it may take to dress the poles.As I said before, it is not the thickness of the half poles that gives them their strength, but their width, They can be reduced to nearly one-half of their thickness (from their rounding side, of course) and not lose very much of their strength, Harvesting Machines.While plows and other agricultural implements of American manufacture 0 a considerable amount in dollars are exported to many foreign countries, the value of the American harvesting machinery exported is greater than that of any of them.American harvesting machines, mowers, reapers and binders, and #0 on, are used all over the world and in many countries extensively.American machines, like other Amer- gan products, are copied by foreign manufacturers, but the foreigners are of
