Enactment to en AYRSHIRE TYPES.All Three Exhibit In Marked Degree the Dairy Form.The editor of Hoard's Dairyr an is Ftrong On dairy form.He does not ae- cept the doctrine that a cow is a cow the world around.He is perlaps the most strenuous advocate in the country of the theory that only the cow express- AYRSHIRE COW\u2014FIG.1, ing the distinctly milk producing form is the one to be bred from and fostered by the farmer who wants to make money from milk, butter.cream or cheese.With thix aim in view the governor nas been picturing in his paper cows exhibiting more or less purely the dairy rhape, with explunatory remarks con- cerving each.One thing is eertain\u2014the average farm man or firm woman ought to be able to tell ac a glance a good dairy cow.Large milk veius and udder, thin.flat hind legs sloping far back above the koee joint and forward below a bony frume, small, thin tail and a somewhat hollow back are the usual characteristics of u good dairy cow.In a recent number of The Dairyman are shown pictures of several animals belonging to a well known Ayrshire herd.The cow in Fig.1 has given in a year 14,200 pounds of milk aud made in 7 days 21 pounds of butter.The cow in Fig.2 made a record of 28 pounds of butter in seven days.This Las hardly been surpassed even by a Jersey or Guernsey.It is to be mentioned that the herd to which these cows belong has been bred and selected carefully for years to make it produce the paving milk and butter machines, Of the cows in the illustrations Gov- eruor Hoard remarks, \u2018Notice the bigh, arching flanks, the incurving, concave thigh, the capacious udder and well developed teats.\u2019\u201d\u2019 The \u2018\u2018incurving, con- AYRSHIRE COW\u2014FIG.IL cave thigh\u2019 hollows itself around to make room for the great udder, and here is a conspicuous difference between the dairy and beef types, The last picture shows the bull at the head of this herd.He is the son of ao cow that gave 14.300 pounds of milk in a year.The editor of The Dairyman makes some puugent remarks en the subject of the dairy cow.which cortainly travels on her shape.He says: When statistics show that the average annual yield of milk per cow in the United States does uot exceed 3,000 pounds and the average annual butter product of such as are kept for butter making is little if any in excess of 123 pounds and that cnly about one-third of all the cows kept for dairy purposes yield any profit whatever, who can wonder that we are constantly preaching the gospel of better cows, of cows better adapted for dairy work, of cows that shall have a form adapted to better dairy performauee, and to this end are giving illustrations from photographs to show what this form is?There is a constant relation or correspondence between form and performance.Everywhere and at all times there is a law of nature, as inflexible as those which bold the planets in their orbits, which tends to make every living thing, whether plant or animal, take on ibe form and habit most conducive to its functions and environment.It may not AYRSHIRE BULL.do this in one day or one year or one generation, but just so surely as the constant falling of water will wear away the hardest stone and change its form just 80 surely will the continued application of the energy of a plant or animal in one direction for successive generations develop a form more and more adapted to that purpose.Blue Mold In the Silo, The blue mold is caused by a lack of moisture.It is of the same nature as \u201cfire fanging\u2019\u2019 in a manure heap, and the cause is the sume.In order to prevent it in the silo cut the corn before it -is quite so mature, as it contains more moisture then than later.Or if it is \u2018very ripe it can be sprinkled while fill- 4ng.A good way todo this is to provide \u2018a barrel filled with water and ,s0 ar- :ranged that a spray will fall on the cut sfeed as the carrier conveys it to the silo.Many advocate and practice allowing sthe corn to stand until rather ripe and fen moisten it as described while fl).\"ration is deficient and is said to have a Secure Honest Marking, The cheese trade everywhere will be interested in knowing the provisions of the Pennsylvania law enforcing the i calling of the different cheeses by exactly theirright names.It will be observed that the law is hurd after these knaes wbo bave ruined the cheese trade of Ancrica by putting on the market the , villainous articla called filled cheese.À Ly+ similar to that of Pennsylvania will be welcomed by honest cheesemalks- ers in all the states.Here is the enuct- ment: Seetion 1.Be it enncted, ete., that no person, firm or corporate body shall manufacture, seit, offer for suic or have in his or their possession, With intent to

farmers start milk dairies in the south?There, where pasturage and water are abundant and the climate is mild, cows will give great yields.A year might be unecessary, perbaps, to perfectly acclimate duiry cattle, and longer time | would be required to develop the best breed for any given locality, but it is absolutely certain that the milk busi- Less near any large southern city would pay & handsome profit, It is almost impossible fer the lurge bétels at tbe wiu- ter resorts in Florida and elsewhere to | get milk in their neighborhood in sufficient quantity tor their needs, although they pay a bigh price for it.The same is true of the lines of railway that carry dining cars.A man who would go into the dairy business in Florida would be amply repaid for all his trouble.Going cautiously to work on a small scale at first be might build upa dairy herd which would be the wonder of the south and be a Klondike financially.There is nothing like knowing when you have bad enough.It is announced that one of the largest olconargarine manufacturers in the country has scen the error of bis ways and is going into the butter business\u2014pure burter, if you please, none other.He will buy it up for foreign shipment.Nothing like a little wholesome law once in awhile to convert a sinner.The expression \u201c\u201c\u2018putritive ratio\u2019 is apt to puzzle plain folk.It means the proportion of nutritive clement tound in the whole ration fed to a cow.If the cow ig fed on corn and corn fodder, that wide nutritive ratio, perbaps because it is wide of the mark.If one-third of & Cow's ration was nutritive elements, the ratio would be called narrow, one to | three.No small part of the work of a butter maker is to educate his patrons up to the point where they will bring him milk or cream untainted by a sour, clogged strainer, by flies, sourness in| the milk itself, bad odors from stable! smells, or any other kind of smells, and bad favors from ragweed, garlic, turnips or anything else that grows.In educating his patrons, especially in the matter of cleanliness, the butter maker will need to keep perfectly good tempered and gently persuade and convince his patrens at the sume time that he \"observes an ironlike stiffness with the rules he bas published for their observance, There ic a creamery man, and a very successiul one, who has adopted a method of pasteurization of his own.He collects tho cream from his patrons twice a week.When his wagon goes the round, some of the cream is fresh and new, while other portions may be three days old, All is thrown together, however, sweet, sour and half way between, i At the creamery all of it thus mixed is poured into the cream vat.The whole mass is heated to 155 degrees by a | steam pipe passing through the vat.{ When this temperature is reached, the | half cooked cream is cooled down to 50 | degrees as quickly as possible, Then a | starter is poured into it to ripen it, and when just right it is churned and makes prime butter, times Produces Idiocy.Alcchol clearly predisposes to criminality by lowering end paralyzing the higher Lrain centers which presido over conscioysness of right and wrong.The immedinte effect of spirits is to cause impulsive, petty acts.For the present moment such acts might materialize into serious crime, but it would depend upon favorable condicions and surroundings.The unstable condition of the I'rain made so by alcohol is more or less incapable of sustaining a preconceived idea and carrying it out, especially if timo and continuous drinking follow.This is the rulo to which there are exceptions, but these exceptions cleurly follow certain cireumstances which are easily traced.Often it is claimed that spirits are given for the purpose of obtaining undue influence in the making of a will or signing a contract.This is confirmed by a clinical study of cases, and facts indicate the impulsiveness of the net, with absence of deliberation or forethought.Delusions and misconcep- tiens of sets and motives are very common in all incbriates.Faulty reasoning, childish credulity and general failure of capacity to discriminate and adjust himself to the conditions and surroundings must of necessity result in wrongdoing, although in many cuses this condition is covered up, and only when the person acts along unusual lines is it apparent.All contracts and wills written by in- ebrintes should bo subjected to careful scrutiny.Not infrequently such nets display sound judgment, and it is found that they are the culmination of previous conceptions.Where they manifest imbecility and strange motives, it is clearly the workings of an auæsthetic Drain, acting from suggestions trom without or deranged impulses for ned within.While a very largo number of inebriates act rationally in ordinary affairs of society and business, and do not commit overt acts that come under legal recognition, it is a question if this is not the result of accident and conci- tions.There are strong reasons for believing that a slight change of sarround- ings, both mental and physical, would explode the degeneration which exists and bring to light insanity, criminality or idiocy.Instances ure not infrequent of acts of lawlescness and crime iu inebriates previously law abiding and hor- est citizens.It wus not the last use of spirits which provoked the act; this only exploded a condition which had been gathering like a storm long before.The direction and form which this disturbance would take could not always be foreseen.\u2014Dr.T.D.Crothers in Apple- tons\u2019 Popular Science Monthly.QUIT THE WHISKY.Pat Was Grateful Toward the Man Who Induced Him to Sign the Pledge.The masses would be reached if every

seed.With a view to assisting be- ginuers are here appended some helpful information from the last agriculture year book: The principles governing seed selection depend largely upon the kind of seed and the object of the crop, whether size, quality or earliness of the latter is most desired.1t also makes some difference whether the plants are to be grown for forage or seed.Certain oli- mates, soils and fertilizers tend to seed production rather than to vegetative development, and a plant may Le cultivated and selected for its seed producing capacity until a strain of seed is obtained which tends to yield plants possessing similar seed fertility.If quality rather than quantity of crop be the object, the selection of seed mnst follow a certain line in order to secure plants of the desired characteristics, Need may be selected necording to its origin, color, form (considering especially whether it is plump or wrinkled), size and weight, it being taken for granted that the selection shall be made only from sound, pure amd germinablo stock.lt ix thought by some that the value of seed vuries in certain cases ne- carding to the part of the plant or fruit from which it comes.An experiment made in Georgia with cotton showed that the bottom bolls produced seed which gave a heavier yield than that from the upper bolls, the yicld in the former case amounting to 1,048 pounds of seed cotton per acre as compared with a yield of 750 pounds in the latter.This was undoubtedly due to the fact that the lower bolls contained larger and heavier seed rather than be- cuuse the seed came from a certain part of the plant.Many trials have bcen made of corn selected from the tips and batts of the eurs.Sometimes one and sometimes the other kind of kernels give the best crop.It is quite likely that this variation results from the difference in size and weight of the different kernels taken from the same eur.In the cuse of the parsley.carrot, \u2018parsnip and other um- belliferous plants it is commonly supposed that the central stalk produces the best seeds.This may be due to the fact that such seeds are frequently larger and heavier than those frow the lateral shoots The degree of maturity of seed when harvested is an important factor in determining its value.Many experimeuts have been made with immature sced, resulting in the conclusion that Such soed produces.as a general thing, smaller and less vigorous plants, Profossor Goff of Wisconsin has shown that by the use of immature tumato seed there is also à tendency to increased earliness in the maturity of the fruit.By micans of continued seed selection, plants may be so developed as to show a certain flavor, cupability of resisting disease.genoral hardiness, earliness, superior coutent of sugar, oil, starch, gluten, ete.Storing Cranberries, The question, How shall the fruit be treated after it isreceived from the pickers to best preserve it till time for marketing?brought out much discussion at tho late meeting of the Cranberry Growers\u2019 association at Camden, N.J.As reported by The American Agriculturist, the essential points insisted upon by Hon.Theodore Budd are: The fruit must be thoroughly dry before it goes iuto the packing house, it must be cool throughout and must be in ventilated open boxes or crates.In the storchouse it must be kept as cool as possible and as dark as may be, but frost must by all means be keptout, The storchouse must be thoroughly ventilated and the crates #0 packed as to allow of free circulation of air throughout.Mr.LE, II.Dut ll agreed generally, but uses shallow trays instead of erates.Tho coloring of fruit picked green can be controlled to some extent by light sid heat.The best method is to let the fruit color siowly in the dark Mr.Holman has seen excellent results from packing berries in large boxes holding 15 to 20 bushels and piling them in a solid mass 1 a cellar 8 feet deep.They Lupt in almost perfect condition until the following March and with very lit- tie shrinkage.Mr.Jones stated that in New Enszlul they tried to avoid keeping by selling at ounce, from the bog if pussible.Cider and Vinegar.The best.method of preserving cider, according to The American Agriculturist, is to heat it to 175 degrees FF, place in mirtight packages and seal while hot, fallowing the methods used in canning fruit.If carefully put up, the cider will keep perfectly and be as sweet the sce- ond summer as when first made.The objection to this method is that the flavor is slightly changed.When epened, fermentation will set in just as it wiil with canned fruit.In the same journal is told how a successful orchardist in Illinois makes cider vinegar.He puts the cider at once into barrels, which are elevated to the sec- : ond story of the fruithouse.Upon tho approach of winter one-third the contents of each barrel is removed and pluced in other casks.Freezing will then not burst the barrels and frost will hasten the vinegar making process.When thawed out in spring, roll We barrels over so that the contents will be thoroughly agitated, then allow to stand.By May or June almost every barrel will contain excellent vinegar.Do not expose to the frost vinegar al ready made.By placing the barrels in the upper story the barrel worm, the tious which favor or avert plant growth NOTES ON COLD STORAGE.Fery low Temperatura Mot Necessary if the Air Is Kept Pure, At the meeting in Detroit of the So- siety For the Promotion of Agricultural Science Professor Rane of the New Hampshire Agricultural college read a valuable paper on cold storage which placed the matter on a novel basis.The professor mude it uppeur that a very luw temperature is not Recessary provided the air is kept pure.Following tre iu brief some of the remarks made by Professor Rune: The first essential to this preservation is pure air.For orchard fruits the temperature should be as low as possibla, and be above freezing, grapes uot needing so much cold.In from 84 to 86 de- and the air kept pure and free from Kas- es, the fruit will keep indefinitely.The assumption that oxygen is the ! agent of decay is erroneous.The condi- are the same as those which favor decay.The presence of moisture favors decay.The first gas generated in a house is carbonic acid gas, and it is the first impurity found in à cold storitge house.If temperature is mgh, there 15 shrinking, then soteening and loss of flavor.Fruits in a vanlt in which a candle cannot be kept burmng are affected as if by frost.Reruove this gas as soon as found to be present.The temperature for preservation, other things being right.wus shown to | be not as low as generally supposed, from 50 to 45 being given for apples, 45 to 55 for peaches, 46 for pears, 84 for cabbages and 37 to 89 tor fresh beef./ Buster, Professor Rane smd, should have 23 degrees and be kept in a room by itself.À description of the station cold storage house, which is on the north sido of the burn cellar, was given.Tho flour is impervious to air.The all important part of 1t is the ventilators which are run across the cellar.The filling between the sheathing is of fine shavings, packed as tight as possible.The cost, including lumber and labor, was given us 550.The system worked well.Of 300 barrels put in the loss over winter was very light Sold in the spring, the price was tor first quality.The only expense of the keeping was tho labor of hauling.Potatoes stored in the same house kept pertectly.The principle, us explained in the Philadelphia Ledger, which reported the meeting, is in keeping rid of the carbonic acid gus by changing the air by veutilution instead of by tho exceedingly more expensive and troublesome method of chilling and freuzing.ere or Importers of Windbreaks.Windbreaks are placed next in importance to irrigation by E, P.Powell of New York.Writing to The New England Homestead he tells that in Oucida county, N.Y., there is an orchard of Red Astrakhans one half of which has a windbreak of arbor vitem hedge and the other none.The protected part is in perfect condition, the other part is nearly dead; not a thoroughly sound tree in it.The crops show the same difference.At another place there are on one side of the street hedges and groups of evergreens, on the north and west, on the other side is an open sweep for the wind.The protected land ripens lima beans and Isabelln grapes and is as good as a whole degree of latitude warmer than the other.Our serious trouble is not from cold, but from cold, drying winds and speedy changes of temperature.He recommends evergreen screens everywhere, not only hedges but screens of trees, allowed to grow tall without clipping.Tho arbor vita is generally best, hemlock in some localities.Norway spruce wants more room, but is valuable.The old plan of letting trees grow up in fence lines was right.Too much econoiny in clearing lund is a mistake.The proper trees for windbreaks vary in different parts of the country, but this means of protection is very generally useful.Tile and Stone Drains.A Maine farmer, writing to The National Stockman.says: grees, where light could be

and to vx- ecutive officer.Düimnb wuaiters go from the galley tu tho diet kitchen cn the decks below.The upper part «0 the operating room is alsu inclored on tus deck.\u2018Near the center of the ship on the berth deck is an operating room, 18 by 21 feet.It is well lighted by a large skylight aud by air yorts opening above the upper deck.Ou either side of this operating room is un elevator lurgu

DEAR SiR: - In discussing the religious question, it is rank blasphemy, to use plain language.Oalling a spade a spade is almost, if not quite, the sin against the Holy Ghost.In perusing the letter from the pen of W.T.For- sythe I notice that he has attempted to give the true reason why people should go to church.But some relig- ionists, chiefly in the Protestant camp, are always explaining mysteries.They take a pride of sailing near the wind, though they often get swamped.Without going into the details of the letter, he speaks of a certain class, reading popular books, that are mere caricatures of the doctrines really taught by the church.These one- sided readers, he says, posing themselves ns freed from the trammels of superstition.Not to be one-sided, let us reveal a fow doctrines, from the great all Father, and the uplifted Christ on the altar and in the pulpit, on which I have no doubt W.T.For- 8ythe pins his faith, Portraying the three Gods which teaches so much truth and knowledge.The bible speaks of many (Gods, and in certain casos the word simply designates beings who were superior to their fellows in sanctity, intelligence or power.It was in some such sense as this that Satan must have used\u2019 it, when, a8 we read, he was tempting Eve: Ye shall not surely die.For God doth know that, in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods knowing good from evil.(Gen.111.45.) And up and down the bible in passages too numerous to mention, the word god or gods is used in the sense here indicated.God the creator of the heaven and earth, is an absolutely unique being.He himself asserts that he is so in the words: \u201cI am the Almighty God.\u201d (Gen.XVIL 1.) \u201cI am the Lord and there is none else; there is no God beside me.\u201d (Isaiah XIV.5.) Now such a being must be omnipotent, omniscient, infinite; and being so must be unchangeable and incomprehonsi- ble.Were he not so he would not be infinite, for the finite cannot comprehend infinite.Language is taxed to the utmost to find words to express the faintest notion of such a being.When, where, and under what circumstances, before time was, did the first cause begin to operate?To these questions no answer can be given.Has the Supreme being parts or members that can be seen or felt, passions and feelings that can be understood, a habitation whose locality can be indicated, and whose gtructure can be deo- scribed?No, he has none of these.To human intellect, a First-Cause, a Supreme Being, are impenetrable mysteries.To endeavor to penetrate such a'mystery would be a waste of time, especially to go to church to hear them expounded.The god of the Jew is an altogether different being to the one Almighty God, for the Jewish writers portray him as being nothing more nor less than a gigantic man, endowed with supernatural powers, but swayed and governed by human passions and feelings.Is it not so?Well, here are a few short extracts from the Jewish writers themselves, in proof of the statement.\u201cAnd the Lord God commanded the man saying, of every tree of the garden thou may- | est freely ent; but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat; for in the day that thou : year.eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.(Gen.II.16,17.) But, when Adam! ate of the forbidden fruit he did not die.Ciod, therefore, was either unable to fulfi] his threat, or in the meantime had changed his mind.A result that could not possibly have happened | to an omniscient and omnipotent being.\u201cAnd they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden lin the cool of the day.\u201d (Gen, 111.8.j (tod, therefore, in his dealings with i Adam, must have assumed the form of, and acted as, an ordinary mortal.Extracts similar to these might be multiplied indefinitely, but, these will suflice to illustrate my meaning, and to prove my statement.To hear such statements, W.T.Forsythe, ] have no no doubt, would have us come to church.The (God of the Christian isa | truly marvellous being, for he is described as being one individual, and yet to consist of three distinct and | separate persons.These three per-' sons are known as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost; , God the Son being born of a human! mother who is known as the Virgin: Mary.According to this doctrine, therefore, God the Son may be his.own father, and God the Father may | be his own son; and yet, which is quite | as strange, though we are assured that God the Son is the Son of God the Father, it is as distinctly asserted that | the Virgin Mary became not pregnant by God the Father but by God the Holy Ghost.And wonderment be- | comes utter astonishment when we! read that the Holy Ghost was the! breath\u2019of Christ; for what other interpretation can be put on these, words: \u2018\u2018And when Jesns had said | this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy | Ghost.\u201d (John XX.22., The rela- | tionship which is supposed to exist between the Christian and his God, is equally singular; for he ie described as being utterly dependant on his God, aud yet as being absolutely independent of him.The statement is that ages ago\u2014no one knows when, or where\u2014a sin\u2014but nobody knows what sin\u2014was committed by the first man and the first woman, who are represented as being the parent8 of all mankind; that for this sin every man, woman and child, who has lived, or shall live, is personally responsible; that this sin is punishable with eterna damnation in the flames of Hell; that the only way of escaping from such a dreadful doom, is to believe implicitly on God the Son who was crucified on Calvary to appease the wrath of God the Father; but that it is optional with human beings so to believe or not, and, therefore, that their final doom rests not with their God but with themselves.Further, this (lod is a personality who ean be button-holed at any time, by any of his so-called ministers; for they assert that their God haa delegated to each of them personally, the power to remit, or retain sin.Now, such a god cannot be omuipotent and omniscient, and, therefore, he cannot be the God who made the heaven and the earth.As to who was the real Father of Jesus, perhaps W.T.Forsythe can inform us, we would like to have his opinion on the subject.These are the three Godsavhich are portrayed not in popular books, but in the snered bible, of which na chosen few go to church to read.And the biblical command is, Choose vou this day whom ye will serve, (John NXIV.16.; is.Not that we Wish to accuse preachers of insincerity, thoy only preach that which has been taught them.But, they hold that the bible is true, yet they teach people contrary to what the bible teaches.\u201cThe true Christian,\u201d ho sayn, \u201chas no contempt for the scep- tie,\u201d but has failed to tell us what nu true Christian is.And that ho must at last have the light which he shall know of the doctrine whether it be true.Let me inform W.'T.Forsythe that we have had that light, for tho past eighteen hundred years in tho shape of the Star of Bethlehem.Thousands of sermons have beon preached on that Bar, and these also have been the works of imagination.We have been told, for instance, that it was the morning star of a new day for humanity.But this is a falsehood which the clergy palmed off on ignorant oongre- gations.The world was happier under the government of the great Pagan Emperors than it has ever heen under the dominjon of Christianity.For a thousand years the triumph of the cross was the annihilation of everything that makes life pleasant nnd dignified.The Star of Bethlehem shone in a sky of utter blackness.All the constellations of science, art, philosophy, and literature were in disastrous eclipse.Cruelty and hypocrisy abounded on earth, toil and misery were the lot of the people, and bloodshed was as common as rain.\u201cReligions,\u201d said Schobenhaner, \u2018ni like glow-worms.They require dark - ness to shine in.\u201d\u2019 This was quite true of Christianity.It was splendid when it had no competitor.To be visible- above all to be worshipped\u2014it needed the sky itself.The star of Bethlehein is no longer a star of the first magnitude.It pales and dwindles every In another century it will be a very minor light.Meanwhile it is drawn big on the maps of faith.Once it was the Star of Bethlehem first and the rest nowhere; now it takes millions of money and ondless speci] pleadings to keep its name on the likt.Pardon me, Mr.Editor, for having trespassed on your valuable time and space, and without any disrespect for {W.T.Forsythe, who should study his bible carefully, and again ask the questior, \u201cWhy don\u2019t people go to Church?\u201d À KERN OBSERVER, Two freight trains collided Saturday night on the Calgary & Edmonton

already been spent in trying to get at the bottom of the mystery, which in all probability will never be solved.Sufficient care was not taken at the inquest to establish facts which \u2018could easily have been established beyond contradiction by a proper post mortem.The evidence showed, however, that Mrs, Edy and Miss Edy were murdered while they were in the act of unrobing and preparing to retire for the night, say about nine o\u2019- clock, Between four and five o'clock in the morning the house was discovered to be on fire and the indications all pointed to its having been just started.Mr.Edy was found dead in the kitchen.Now a skillful autopsy would have shown by the state of the stomach whether he had been killed at about the same time as his wife and daughter or not.There are two theories about the crime.One is that it was a foul murder by parties unknown.Another is that the crime was committed by Edy who early in the morning, overcome with remorse, killed himself, first setting fire to the p em- ises.There is much to suppor.vue Jatter theory.The family had no enemies and the crime was not perpetrated for purposes of roubery.Itis not reasonable to suppose that a murderer would make away with his victims early in the evening and then hang around the place till broad day light in the morning, inviting detection and reducing his chances of escape.But if the theory of murder is correct that is what the murderer must have done.It would be a good \u2018thing if the mystery could be cleared up.The frequent revival of the incidents of the crime naturally tends to excite and worry the whole neighbor- .hood in which the tragedy was enact- | ed.The prosecution for perjury is One year (advance payment) Li puid in six months.At the end of the year,

covered buggy would likely pursue a different course from the average law abiding citizens and might do his best to conceal his identity from any persons he might meet.This is only an idea of our own, and, so far as we know, no such theory has baen advanced by those most familiar with the case.\"lo usthe theory that the old man Edy, seized with a fit of insanity murdered his wife and daughter\u2019 and afterwards committed suicide, seems the most rational, especially in\u2019 the absence cf any motive for the\u2018 crime.NEW ARBITRATION TREATY.Suits the Senate\u2014Provides for Arbitration When Willing.Both Governments are The New York World of Saturday contains an outline of a new treaty of arbitration drawn up by the McKinley Administration, and.according to a New York despatch.accepted by Premier Salisbury.The treaty, as compared with the one negotiated by Secretary Olney, will be far less binding.The provision in the first treaty providing that when diplomacy failed to adjust differences they should be referred to arbitrators, is cut out.No permanent tribunal is to be established.Whenever a difference arises hetween the two Governments which diplomacy fails to adjust, then the Senate and the British Government will first consider whether the dispute is one which shall be referred to arbitration or not.If they agree, the appointment of arbitrators will be carried out.Practically, the actual results of the treaty as now contemplated means that there shall be arbitration when both Governments are willing to arbitrate, and, not otherwise.President McKinley thus is preparing the kind of arbitration treaty that the Senate wants and will ratify.CANNIBAL MURDERS.| , A dispatch from 8t.Francisco says: | 'Steamer Mariposa \u2018brings the news \u2018that three whites have heen murdered | by the Solomon Islanders, and swift | punishment has been dealt out by the English Commissioner on the Islands, John Parrett a trader, and his two assistants were murdered on the Kow-' Kow River.Commissioner Woodford did not wait for the British gunboat, but organized a party of thirty-five white men from various adjacent posts, and set out in the pursuit of the mur- CABINET CHANGES.At Ottawa last Thursday, Senator David Mills was sworn Minister of Justice hy Lord Aberdeen.Sir Oliver Mowat took the oath of office as Lieu- tenant-Governor of Ontario, Mr.J.C.McGee administered the oath.A, large number of public men of both the province and the Dominion were present at the ceremony, doing honor to the career of Sir Oliver, who for so derers.They tracked them to camp many years, has been in the harness \u2019 ; \u2018where they had a log fort.For seve- as the Leader of Ontario politics, and ral hours the natives made a stand, who now closes his active participa- : ; tion in the Government affairs after | Put finally were beaten off, leaving : =, one dead and several wounded.The his temporary sojourn in Ottawa with lace was burned, and three prisoners the esteem and good wishes of the p !

It was ono | MUNICIPAL SPIRIT.A Quality Which Seems to Be Lackftit Ta Many Aunerican Cities.In certain Germau cities, as in certain cities of France and Great Britain, there is what might be called a municipal spirit\u2014a form of local patriotism which demunds wise and prudent government and looks upon public cleanliness and decency as matters of course, says the Chicago Record.A crumbling publio structure, a »lovenly pavement, a litter of filth on the public streets, would be viewed with the same disgusted amazement with which a man would be regarded who did not keep bimself personally clean.Of necessity this spirit expects that its municipal officers shall be men of brain and standing, and that they should losk upon their work as something to be performed with studious attentiveness and inflexible honesty In the rush and burry with which most American cities bave been built there has been little opportunity to secure these refinements.In Chicago in particular everything in the way of public government and public improvement has been of a more or less provisional nature.Its outer aspect is uot agreeable and its residents suffer discomforts that are literally countless.All these would be as nothing, because they could ull be remedied, wero it not also that the city government itself is worse than the outward coudi- tions which stand as its symbol Is there, then, no such municipal pride bere as there is abroad?Is there no public spirit to leaven the lump of our short- comiugs and cause demands for better government?Undoubtedly there is, but the trouble has been that always this sentiment, instead of asserting ftself of the times when it was most needed, has remained dormant, leaving the business of government to the rabble of politicians who are not citizens wn any right meaning of the word and whose sole interest in the municipality is the opportunity it gives for playing the political game.Many good citizens bere already recognize that no matter how they guard and beautify their own bomes they will never be quite decent until all citizens come together to take care of the byways between, but the citizens tail to take an active purt in giving this senti- meut effect.If the example of the better governed foreign cities has any weight at all, it should serve tu arouse them to a sense of the dignity and graciousness of a well ordered municipal life.and not ouly nrouse tbem.but stir them to active und resolute measures to secure it, THE WONDER OF TEXAS.Port Arthiar Is Working For Fiftÿ Thow- Wand Population by 1900, Port

disastrous fires in the history of London since the great fire of 1666 broke out in the large block of buildings lying eastward of Aldergate Street and between that thoroughfare and Red Cross st., just after 1 o'clock Friday afternoon.The flames were fanned by a strong wind, fed by highly inflamable stocks of fancy goods and flimsy material of all descriptions, crowding every floor of the six story buildings lying eastward of Aldergate street.The conflagration gained headway with surprising rapidity, and the few engines in the vicinity could not check the flames.More than a hundred engines were brought into play.For four hours and a half the fire had its way, and it was only after more than a hundred engines had worked an hour that the chief of the fire brigade gave out the | signal that the fire was under control.Singular to relate no lives were lost, but the most serious feature is that thousnnds of operatives have been thrown out of employment, Nine Terrible Years Missery and Suffering Day and Night.Paine's Celery Compound Victorious Over Liver Troubles, A Mighty Work After the Doctor Failed.mm If proper treatthent is Not resorted to in tine, the results of liver complaint are terrible, often ending in death.| Mrs.McRae, of Guelph, Ont., suffered nine long years from liver com- blaint.Her case baffied the skill of the physician she employed; he could do no more, and the sufferer was left almost hopeless.Hearing of Paine\u2019s Celery Compound she procured a supply, and soon experienced returning health and vigor.The second bottle completely cured her.Mrs.McRae writes for the benefit of all in misery and affliction; she says: \u201cIt gives me great pleasure to add my testimony to the value of Paine\u2019s Celery Compound.For nine years I had been troubled with liver complaint, and often had very bad spells from it.Two years ago Lhis spring I had a very bad attack of it, and called in a doctor who relieved me of the trouble, but I remained weak, and could neither eat nor sleep, and suffered so much with my head that I procured a bottle of your Paine\u2019s Celery Compound, and before I had the contents used I could eat and sleep well, and the pain in my head was completely gone.I took the second bottle, and have never been troubled with liver complaint since.Your Compound has banished constipation which troubled me for many years, and has built me up and completely cured me, Iam now 64 years old, and from what I know I consider your medicine the best on the market.Hoping that your valuable medicine will do for others what it has done for me is

A girl of 21, sound in every faculty otherwise, who falls into a cataleptic trance at a glance, who is insensible to pain aud to heat and cold and yet is able to go about the daily dutics of life! She earns her own living as forewoman in a shop where underclothing is made.Her case is in the bands of Dr.Charles E.Nam- mack, who is in charge of the New York hospital's outdoor clinic.About a month ago ths girl came to the clinic.Dr.Nummack happened to bo away at the time, and his assistant took the case.The patient complained that a needle wound received four years ago would not heal.She explained that a young physician who had tried to cure her by hypnotism had left her in a condition of hysteria that made life very uncomfortable.Dr.Nammack\u2019s assistant looked the girl steadily in the eyes, and before he knew it sha was in a trance, Her muscles grew rigid, her eyeballs were insensible to light, her limbs refused to move\u2014she was in a cataleptic state.Several hours\u2019 work was necessary 2 restore the girl to her normal condition.*\u2018It was a remarkable case, \u2019\u2019 said Dr.Nammack recently.\u2018\u2018I did not believe, when my assistant told me, that tho girl would respond to hypnotic suggestion from any one.But such was the case.Hardly had I begun talking to the patient when she fell off into catalepsy, and I had several hours of very hard work restoring her.\u2018*I presented the case at tho last mect- ing of the section on neurology of the Academy of Medicine.The neurologist present agreed that it was the first case of complete Or universal anæsthesia that bad ever come to the notice of the profession.The girl was absolutely insensible to pain.We could even prick her eyeball, the most sensitive part of the body, with a needle without produe- ing any feeling.A feather stuck down ber throat caused no gagging or choking, \u2018Strangest of all, the patient was alike insensible to heat or cold.1 put a glass of hot water in one of her hands and a glass of cold water in the other, and she could not tell the difference.Mind, this was not when she was hypnotized.She can only tell when she is burned by noticing tho scorching flesh.This is the first case known to sci- enco.Persous with insensibility to feeling in some portions of the body are not uncommon.One case is known whero a woman was wholly insensible to fecling savo on u small spot on ber breast and over her spine, but this case of Dr.Nammack's is tho only one where every portion of the body is insensible to feeling.The young woman is engaged to be married.It was for this reason that sho came to Dr.Nannnack.Ho thinks she can bo cured.In fact, the wound caused by the needle, rendered extremely sore by weason of blood puisoning that set in afterward, is slowly healing, For professional reasons Dr.Nam- mack declines to give his patient's name.She attends to her work daily, her only difficulty being that she must be careful to avoid the steady glance of any oue for tear of fulling into a trance.She is also bothered by a numbness of tho so called tactual ceusations.This means that in taking hold of anything she has difficulty in determining its shape by the feel of it.Of course her eyes fill out this deficiency.\u2018The girl's special senses are perfectly normal, said Dr.Nammuack, \u2018She Can see and hear as youor 1 do.But let any one guze at her steadily and sho succumbs.When mn a trance, the girl's muscles ure perfectly rigid.Her limbs will remain for hours in whatever position, no matter how awkward, you place them.She will not respond to a bredls stuck into the flesh, These sumo queer conditions are present when she is in full possession of ber senses.\u2019 Daily the poor girl is put in a hundred embarrassing situations.Her work consists in layung out the work of the girls under her in the underclothing manufactory She cuts the patterns and takes an occasional stitch on the machines just to show the other girls less experienced than herself how it should be done.Dhuagine her feelings when she pricks her finger with the needle and only knows it when the blood dyes the spotless hnen on winch she is working.Her fect, she kunws, are on the treadles of the machine, aud yet she cannot feel thew there.She knows by her eyes that the treadles nre revolving, but she has bo sense of contact with them Once ber wsceusiinlity to cold laid her Up witle pneumoma.The sun was shining brightly out of doors.Her family Were all out.She thought it was balmy weather aud went to her work and returned without any wrap.know that 1t was one of the coldest days of the year.She could not feel it.That night she had a chill ; next day it was pneunoma, **lalways wear a wrap Bow,\" she explained to the physicians.\u201cWhat difference does it make?1 can't fÎcel 1t if the day 18 warm, and so 1 wear oue just to be sure.Eut the poor girl feels her affliction Most keenly shen ber sweetheart comes to call.Therrs 1s the strangest courtship In the world.He cannot look ber straight in the eye without sending the girl off into catalepsy.and so their courting is done nlmost literally behind their backs, with just n stolen glance of love between whiles, This is no pretended hypnotism.The She did not case ia not on exhibition.Lr.Nannnnck regards the girl just as he would any private patient.The physicians at the Academy of Medicine have fully eatis- fied themselves that the girl is not one of those strange individuals who can, by exercise of wonderful will power, withstand the ordinary tests.This girl bas been through the most trying tests known to medicine.\u201cI want to be cured,\u201d is all she asks, \u2018\u2018so that I can be married,\u201d **She will be cured,\" said Dr.Nam- tack recently.*\u2018She comes to me once a week\u2014Satardays.The scheme of cure is not to excite her, for each fall into the cataleptic state is harder to come out of, and when she is conscious again she weeps and bas genuine hysteria She is having nerve tonics and baths and general bracing up of her nervous system, for in that way the cure lies.I think it highly probable that she will eventually regain all her faculties nnd i be impervious to such sudden falls mio | the cataleptic state.\u201d \u2014 New York World.RECLAIMING ALKALI LANDS.Planting With Salt Bush May Make Good Pasture of the Worst.Charles H.Shiun of the agricultural department of the California state uni- | versity returned recently from the agri- | raltural experiment station at Tulare! with enthusiastic reports of the success of the experiments which have been made there recently in the reclamation ~f alkali lands, The land, some of which is the worst alkali land in the state, has becu treated with gypsum, and during the season over 300 kinds of seeds will be planted in the ground.A crop of wheat is expected where before the reclamation of the land barley grew only an inch high.\u2018We are showing tho people,\u2019 said Mr.Shinn, \u2018that even ou a small scalo the land can be profitably reclaimed in this manner.Of course if all tho farmers would adopt the method the reclamation of the alkali lands would Ue much easier and cheaper.**We have discovered that much can be done to neutralize the offcct of tho alkali by mechanical treatment of tho soil.By using straw\u2014not manure, for manure makes alkali soil even worse\u2014 the ground is kept warm and the cold alkali is kept from rotting the sced.**Our experiments with the Atriplex semibaccalum, or salt bush, bave also proved that even without reclamation alkali lands can be made valuable for pasture.Within the last threo or four years wo have distributed at least 1,000 pounds of the seed all over the stato.The salt bush makes a thick growth six or seven inches high and makes excellent grazing for sheep.The excellence of the Australian wool is due very largely to the abundance of salt bush upon which the sheep graze.On the karroos of South Africa the salt bush has been planted for sheep pasture by several companies.\u2018The planting of the salt bush promises to establish à new industry in California.Already there is à large demand for the sced, even from Mexico.The bush grows where alfalfa will not grow, and in many cases, perhaps, it will ba cheaper to plant it than to attempt to reclaim the land.\u2019'\u20148an Francisco Call.MINISTER AND CAPTAIN.Effect of Youthful Looks Combined With a Yukon Traveling Suit.Tho following unecdote is related in counection with tbo Hon,

for the signal to begin.Tho captain seemed to havo something on his mind, however, and was apparently waiting for somebody.He fidgcted around gencrally and lookod occasionally over his shoulder toward

The one is as possible as the other; it is more likely.from present appearances.Well there might be anxiety.There are men on the northwesternslopes of the ugly mountain who remember, how, so recently as 1872, it committed murders by the score.In that year also there had been abundant warning.The period of activity had begun in 1871.As it reached its height there were among others who felt its malignity a party of eight medical students who went out from Naples to view the eruption near at hand, partly out of scientific interest, partly in\u2019 search of pleasant diversion.They reached the western siope by tie carriage voad.No doubt the sight was fine.Big, surging masses of red-hot lava were pouring out of the new mouth.The air was heavy with the heat of it.Hot.and vivid as the scene was in Naples, near at hand it was terrifying, As they stood there watching, the, great, lazy mountain sneezed.Forth | from the summit belched a tremendous volley of red hot stones, thousands of tons of them, half a mile into | the air.What goes up must come! down.When the fusilade was over | the eight students lay dead, killed by! ithe falling shower of stones.They were not the only ones killed.Strange suicides have happened on this summit of dread, too.Men have hurled themselves into the fuming, fretting crater.How far have they | fallen?How long have they retained the bresth of life in their giddy descent?It is a thought to give one the nightmare for months; to think of the poor human atom rolling and plunging helplessly down the steep inner slope of the crater, where the Lot clouds of | sulphurous smoke roll ever upward, and at last shooting like a plummet into the very midst of the flames.More strange and more horrible was the self-sought death, only last summer, of a tourist, a Frenchman, who lay down upon the ground before the advancing flood of lava and permitted himself to be scorched to death in its blistering embrace.Him, too, the mountain preserves NS stood

{Guillemain) at Biddeford was given him by Tetrault as hush money.When arrested Te- trault said, \u2018\u2018So help me, God, I am innocent of this.\u2019 The officers think the killing was the result of a plot to rob Laplante.Officer Ducharme, to whose credit Guillemain's arrest is due, in a conversation with your correspondent, said: \u201cI believe you have the murderer now, and that there was only one connected with the crime.I can- \u2018not say more on this subject until the proper time comes.\u201d Young Guillemain now gives another story, entirely different to his previous versions.He claims that he had nothing at all to do with the killing of J.B.Laplante or the theft connected with the murder, but had only accepted the money from Tetrault, so ns to keep silent over the matter.At the Inquest on Tuesday Guille- main was found guilty and committed ior trizl before the next term of the criminal eourt, Tetrault, whom Guil- lemain tried to implicate, was acquitted.ROLLS

a capitalist, with offices at St.John and Montreal, arrived here the other day and was introduced to a handsome young woman of respectable connections.She accepted an coffer of marriage from him, and the ceremony was performed six hours after the couple met by the Rev.Mr, | Armitage.The husband disappeared on the second day after his arrival, saying he was going to attend to the shipment of four hundred cattle from Montreal.He never came back.The story regarding the cattle was found to be false.The stranger was well educated, had hundreds of dollars in question cannot be settled by itself.It

carpenter living at | St.Canute, six miles from St, Scho- lastique, was found dead on his bed with his throat cut from ear to ear Monday morning.AL first it was thought that Poirier had killed himself Lut the number and nature of the wounds afterwards found on him and the traces of a desperate struggle in the room point to murder.A large, sharp butcher knife belonging to the house was found near the corpse.He was fully dressed except his coat and his purse and watch were in bis pockets, so that robbery was not a motive.His married life had not been without its domestic troubles, and it is stated | that his wife had received suspicious attentions from a resident of the village.Poirier was poor but industrious and lived in a very comfortable home.Detectives are searching for a clue.Mrs.Poirier was away at the time the murder was commited having gone to \u2018the home of her father four miles distant Sunday afternoon.BUSINESS IMPROVING.Broadetreets Report on the Fast
