ial majority to the honourable poslu/ tion of representative of the County ■ of Glengirry in the House of Com- mons of Canada, I have to thank the free and independent electors of the ridieg for the trust and confidenr they have reposed in me. I do not a, sume that my selection was throug any special merit the electors founa in me but rather that in the late \ contest I represented the Government of the Right Honourable Sir Wilfrid Laurier which has for twelve years given Canada such progressive and bénéficient government and that. it„ was also a mark of your condemna-i. tion of the campaign ol slander and^ abuse aimed at members of that Gov-V ernment. Canada as a whole has spok en as the people of Glengarry have, and I will now be your representative sitting on the Government side of ' the House.

I must sincerely thank the active LitHirîil -iimrkers who have done__such valiant work in organlzatron—ami~T*«‘ advancement of the Liberal cause iiv Glengarry and also the gentlemen

Administration, had undoubtedly prospered, the people were happy and contented, and had little fault to find, it was therefore up to the Opposioion speakers who consistently supported Mr. McGregor to advance substantial reasons why the time was ripe for a change. In this regard they proved decidedly lacking, for with lew excep- tions, their entire time was devoted to the manufacture and the raking up of so- called scandals. The electorate, j generally, do not look for in the ad- i ministration of their ,affairs, absolute I perfection, knowing that the heads of the variouBdepartnients of administration, and their supportersare only human and as a consequence sins of omis- sion or commission might reasonably be looked for, such, no doubt, received consideration and when placed in the scale were more than counterbalanced by the many good works of the Liberal administratioD.

A majority of 150 to 200 was copfi- dently looked for by thé Liberal exeieu- tive but as the returns began Oopung in about 5.30 ehowing almost in eypry cate, a much increased majority Mr. McMillan’s supporters, of necessity,

.'became jubilant. In his native town he came out victorious with a cool 100, the majority in his favor in Lan- caster came with in two of that secured by Mr. McGregor at Maxville. The Township of Lochiel handed out the s.wellest bouquet, 163 majority,' fully fifty more than anticipated, But why enumerate ? All sections of the county did well and furnished ample proof that Mr. McMillan’s supporters, having a popular candidate and a good cause, had worked like beavers. This was more than exemplified in St Raphaels, a ward that for upwards of a century, in each succeeding election, had remained true to Toryism, on this occasion, howevdr, having duly repented and given three of a majorf^ to McMillan, their past in- discretions are forgotten.

It is most gratifying that within a radius of six miles of Alexandria, where the Liberal candidate is best known, Mr. McMillan received the almost unanimous support of the electorate, silent testimony of the high regard apd; ; esteem entertained ^ for him by those^witb WIKV"- be was con-, stantly comir-^ ' s majority, was

defeat, stated that he accepted same without bearing ill will to any one. He thanked those who had supported him for the efforts put forward to secure his return, so far as he was concerned, however, he bid farewell to politics.

Mr. McMillan, wl>o followed, received a very warm reception. In acknowledging same, the member-elect was most modest, not by any means taking the credit to himself, giving in a large measure the voctory to the Liberal administration. He thanked one and all, even those who did not support him, as he had nothing but commendation for an opponent hold- ing honest convictions and voting accordingly. While the small fry of the town, as usual, took advantage of the occasion to parade the streets and have a good time generally, the “grown ups” confined themselves to studying the returns, listening to the addresses and wending their way home without any demonstration..

We append a detailed report sh(^. ing, by wards, as far as possible the vote in Glengarry. We also give our readers the results in the Dominion generally.

I “WAUKEllZ SHOE is a distinctive creation

sboeg.

footwear—the con.snnimate result gained from long cxjîérience in shoe making. We make a special study of “feet,” their requirements, their necessities

and tlieir comfort ; and as a natural consequence oui- produc- tions are models of wearable, sty- lish and comfortable shoes—the three essential factors of thoroughly satisfactory footwear.

The “wear” in a Waukerz YOU CANNOT see, but the, “proof of the pudding is in the eating”always and the proof of the durability of our line will be proven in the wearing. The “style” in the WAukerz E’VEIIYONE can see from the first glance. Every line is true and pre- cise, and there is an inexpressible “something” about the swing of the “Waukerz” that lifts it above all others as’ a model of fashionable

The “ease” of a “Waukerz” YOU can depend upon, fer the lines of comfort visible to the naked eye will be fafind absolutely true to the shape of the foot.

That trbfe, reliable shoes are ever in demand the “Waukerz”'has for long years proven, and itiis the inevitable resulfr.ofhard, steady, thorov^h, sci- entific workméîship, and careful su^rvi- sion that has giên the “Waukerz” ease, wearability an^ character. The; “Waukerz’Ts distinc- y tive. It stands forth as a pre-eminent example of what can be accomplished in shoe i production when time, mipney and experience stand back of every pair. Nothing fcas been left undone to make the “Waukerz” the best\and most satisfactoiy shoe on the market. We know tüâs .has been accomplished and and are ready to prove it f o yon.

Charles Sumner, many decades ago, said, “The schoolmaster and good roads are the great factors in the civ ilization of a country.’’ Referring to this .statement some one had recently said, “Tlie schoolmaster has done his -work so well that his figure seems to fill the horizon, but good roads are conspicuous by their absence.”

Good roads are, however, becoming more common in the province of Ont- ario and they are going to become the rule rather than the exception and that at no very distant time.

Many farmers and farmers’ boys are becoming interested in this question of better roads, and when, through this interest on the part of a few^ ail farmers are aroused to ,the value of good roads, then we may look for some good, honest work that -will build and keep in proper condition the country roads of our province.

Roads must first be made and the question of drainage must be met and solved. I'he road bed must be rounded up by the grader so that the water will run oft, not remain in the road to make ruts and mud holes. Ditches should carry the water away from direct contact witli any part of the road. When a road has been so Kiii.saucled, whether gravelled or not, it can be kept in good condition by the use of the “King road drag” or the “split log drag” as it is called, with very little labor and expense.

Some people get the impression that it is only necessary to put the road in good condition and it must remain good, at least one season. q'his is not the fact for roads where heavy loads are hauled will become more or less rutted, the first rain fills these ruts and thus the work of destruction begins.

What is to be done? Why go over every rod of the road with the split log drag and do it quick. Don’t wait until the road i.s dry and hard, but start just when it begins to dry after the rain. You say this is not possible. Perhaps not, always, but in a majority of cases it is possible for a farmer to go down the road on one side along his own land and back on the other side. All ruts should be destroyed after each rain. This work can be done iu a very short time, often while the men are waiting for the field to become dry enough to cultivate.

Every farmer should have the log drag on his own farm, not be obliged to borrow his neighbor’s. The drag is inexpensive but valuable. A boy twelve or fourteen years of age, who can drive two-horse team, can run a log drag and do as effective work as anyone can do.

Now it the farmers and other road workers in the province will re- form in this, respect and say “a good day’s work on the road if no where else on the farm,” we can have roads on w,hich the crops of a season can be marketed in half the time and with less than half the wear and tear to team and w.agon.

Now this problem of good roads, or how to have good roads in Glen- garry can be solved if those most interested are willing to put into tlie solution some good, honest work Let the boys work at the problem and they will help to solve it. . Get a split log drag, use it, use it! Keep at it, “continued dropping will wear away stone,” continued eCort will give us good roads.

In feeding for egg production a valuable lesson may be learned fiom nature. If we notice we will see that fowls that receive the least care and attention lay most of their eggs in the spring time. Notice the cmiditioiis surrounding these fowls; the weather is warm, they have plenty of green food, and more or less grain; they wander here and tliere,' getting an abundance of meat in the form of insects with plenty of exercise and fresh air. Now if we will try and have the same condition in the winter wc will get plenty of eggs. Have the houses as warm as possible without the use of artificial heat. Of course fowls cannot wander over the fields covered with snow and ice, but we can have a small field in our hen houses by having a deep litter into which scatter their grain make the fowls work for every bit of grain that- they obtain. Have plenty of pure water and grit. I find an excellent remedy for many ills is to have a box of charcoal before them all of the time. Give them plenty of green stuff, also variety of food.

There are • thousands of poultry keepers in Canada, no two of’'whom possess the same degrees of skill. I have a way of my own. It may not come up to what a great many of you have experienced, nevertheless I get good results and that is what we are all after.

Y'ou can study the different methods of feeding and adopt the one that you think is best. In the winter time I always feed a mash of cooked grains or vegetables. 1 feed all they will eat up dean in a short time. Never give them all they can eat, always keep them a little hungry. In winter I always give them warm water to drink and plenty of green food with meat scraps. Observation teaches me whether I am feeding enough food to make my poultry a success or not.—A. M.

Corn is usually high and will so remain during the entire year because of the partial failure, of oats in all sections of the Northwest. Feeders of corn must exercise good judgement in seieciing animals for fattening purposes, otherwise a loss is quite sure to take the place of an anticipated profit.

Do not attempt to fatten old cow$ and scrubs on corn that will sell for one-half as much per j)ound as the cattle will bring when they go to market. Well selected steers will eat fully oiie-half of a bushel of corn a day when on full feed and will not average a gain, in weight,* of much more than two pounds per day. Corn is now considerably more than a cent a pound which will make expensive beef when consumed by the very best feeders obtainable.

Every farmer should have a set of stock scales in his barnyard on which both feed and feeders can be weighed to determine accurately just how much grain is requred to make a pound of Uesh on hi|^ steers, pigs, sheep, etc. While they are fattening. Feeding racks should be used which wilL not allow waste to occur. When corn was selling for fifteen to twenty-live cents per bushel the feeder, under favorable conditions, would have a profit at the end of the season even when the grain was shoveled out on a muddy yard, but *he cannot aiYord to follow such wasteful methods when corn is worth twenty dollars a ton on the ear.

We advise our readers who con- template feeding corn iu a large way this winter to carefully consider its cost and the prospective markets for fat stock before they begin the un- dertaking. Young stock will make a good growth on clover hay and other roughage which is compara- tively plentiful and cheap. In many instances a little corn will so sup- plement tlie roughage that the stock will go through the winter and onto grass next summer so that they will be in excellent shape to fatten in

■:he autumn of ’ 1909. We hope for better yields of corn and oats next year, also better prices for our fat stock. The suggestion goes for what it is worth—it costs nothing.

Here is something of real practical value to any one driving a horse that pulls the bit. Fasten a small ring on each side of the bridle and as near the brow band as possible. Pass lines through bit rings and snap them into the rings at the brow band. This, with a common jointed bit, will en- able a child to hold a “puller” or hard-mouthed hor.se with ease under almost all circumstances. It can be used on a fast horse in double team or on both as desired. Tt is cheap aud easily applied and it won’t make the mouth sore.

PIOUGHING AND HAHHDWiNG The development of the bacterial

life in the soil has much to do with its fertility and productiveness. Back teria exist only in the surface soil— mainly in the mellow, moist soil— which is cultivated and turned over by the plough from year to year. Shallow ploughing for an extended length of time gives less depth of mellow soil, less space for the bacter ia to develop in, and less plant food for them to work over. Thus, shai- low-plq-'ighed land may gradually become Kss fertile for the production of crops, Twrites Prof. A. M. Ten- Eyck. The most perfect mulch is form cd by the plough as it cuts on and turns over the soil, dropping it back into its place in a pulverized and mel low condition.

The .sub-surface packer is a heavy disk roilor. The disks sink through the loose soil at the surface, tending to firm and pack the ground near the bottom of the furrow. This establish- es a better capillary connection with the firm soil below, which tends to draw the water up into the surface soil, thus causing a more rapid decay of stul)ble and other matter turned under by the plough, and hastening the germination of the seed and early growth of the crop. In all experi- ments the sub-surface packer has given good results. It is without doubt a valuable tool to have on the farm, but it is expensive; ■ the very .lature of Us work makes it a heavy hard- running machine. It costs as much, both in time and labor, to subsurface pack once at it docs to harrow three times. The farmer has time to do only a certain amount of extra work on his land, and it is a question* whether the subsurface packer is as economical a tool to use as the harrow.

Ground harrowed immediately after ploughing gave a uniformly marked iu crease in crop *over ground receiving no treatment after ploughing. One bushel more wheat per acre, after de- ducting the expense of the treatment left forty-six cents more profit per acre, which means something to the farmer who grows much wheat. The treatment has paid better on fall ploughing than has subsurface packing, but on spring ploughing, the extra harrowing did not give much benefit. It took a little less water on the average to produce the wheat on those plats which were harrowed immediately after ploughing.

Harrowing immediately after plough iug firms and fines the soil, closing the laige air spaces, and keeps the furrow slice from drying out. Har- rowing in the fall conserves the soil moisture, and causes the stubble to decay, wnile the winter settles aud firms the soil suflicientiy to establish good capillarity. The effect subsoiling, where the soil is loosened several inches below tbc bottom cf the ordinary furrow, is to make a better water reservoir; that is, it opens up the soil, so that it can absorb more water if the rain come:< but the soil, becoming, looienca, causes it to have less capillary p(*v.'e': to lift water from below, and in a (}rv .season subso'Ung may oro've de- trimental by causing the soil to dry out near the surface. For potatoes and root crops, subsoiling has given good results, bub in wheat culture such treatment does not seem to be necessary or profitable. The practice (also called subsoiling) of ploughing a little deeper every three or four years and bringing up an inch or so of new soil to the surfeae is, in my opinion, perferablc to subsoiling. By this meth od the capacity of the soil to absorb rain water is increased, the hard crust made by the tramping of the horses is broken up, new soil is brought to the surface where it can be acted upon by tho weather and the soil bacteria, and the depth of fertile soil is increased. Such ploughing should usually be done in the fall, preceding maize or some other cultivated crop.

Wheat may be harrowed without in- jury before it comes up, or just as it is bi;g.aking through the ground. After it is well up, it is better not to harrow until the grain is several inches high, and stooiing. The plants have then become firmly rooted, and,. are not easily pulled up and the stool will not lie as easily covered as the single blade. Harrowing wheat kills the young weeds, cultivates the grain and saves the soil moisture for the use of the crop. The first cultivation of maize, potatoes, or any other crop should be shallow, rather than deep, as is .often recommended, and the later cultivation should be deeper. A thin mulch will retain the moisture during the moist, cool weather of spring, but later in the season, when the hot, dry days come, a deep mulch is necessary, in order to keep the soil from drying out. Shallow cultivation early in the season is also favorable to the nuicker warming of the soil. Loose soil is not a good heat conduct or, and more heat can reach the firm soil through a thin mulch than through a thick one. The weeds are also killed by early shallow cultivation better then by deep cultivation.

THE FARMER, FARM AND LIVESTOCK If^thc farm is to be a money-malrlng

proposition there must be a definite correlalion beWeen the farm, the man who farms it, 'whether owner or tenant, and the iive stock that are kept on the farm, it any. If not, there

I must be a correlation between the farmer, the farm, and the grain and grass that is grown thereon,

i To define more clearijr what we j mean: A farmer who is not inter- ‘ ested in growing corn, who does not : love to study the plant, the seed, the I marketing of the crop, would be of I no use whatever in the corn belt. He I might be a valuable man in the cot- ; ton belt if he understood cotton, or t he might be a pronounced success in I the wheat growing sections or in the i dairy sections or iu a field of sugar ’ beets; but no wise man would ever ; think of renting him a farm in the i corn belt. i Where live stock are kept on the

farm, it would he folly to rent it to a tenant who is not deeply interested in at least two or three kinds of live stock. It would be folly for a man who is not interested in dairying, for example, to undertake to make a profit from keeping dairy cows. To win success in dairying the farmer must like cows, must know the good ones from the poor as far as it is given to mortal to know this without weighing and testing. The buildings must be arranged ior dairy pur- , poses. In fact, the farmer, the cows, the farm and the buildings must stand in harmonious relation to each other.

It is much easier to change the buildings to suit the business than it is to educate the farmer in a new line. It is seldom possible to have a completelv har®duous relation between the favîiSÈ. tSfi'-vl^rm, and the live stock. It^s-w find

The appreciation of the dining car service on the Grand Trunk by the Liavelling public is becoming • re- nowned and letters are being received constantly praising this branch of the service. The following abstract is taken from a letter recently received at Headquarters from a prominent American;—

“I arrived hero last evening on my way to Ouray, Colo., on your train that left Niagara B'ails ; yesterday morning, September 23rd; this is the fourth journey I have made over your System in one year eii route from New York to the West. I cannot re- frain from writing and saying that the matter of accommodation and civility on tiie part of the employees of your line is unsurpassed and that in catering your dining car service leaves nothing to be d' " ”’

This is only a .si' un- .solicited testimonia ’ t service that is foul the Grand Trunk in-2

We have knowa’:'"ii>i^-:tn grow'^ calves by hand -sdijia that an experienced eye edfia^- tinguish them in the feed lov- calves that were grown in nati way, but who were not nearly so successful with hogs. We have known men who could grow both improved cattle and hogs quite successfully, but could not sell either of them to advantage. We have known men that could grow and sell them, but who, to use' the neighbors’ expression, were “poison to horses.” We have known men who can handle liorses with the greatest success and could not handle either dairy cattle, beef steers, or hogs; and it would not be difficult to find a man who could handle part or all of these successfully and yet do nothing at all with sheep.

In short, the ordinary farm is quite as big as the ordinary man, and a little bigger if all its capabilities could be brought out. In fact, there is a great deal more in the skill of the farmer than even iu the fertility of the farm himself.

We have dropped into this line of thought because just now, on of the oliangca that have been going on in the last two or three years, some farmers are disposed to change their methods of farming. We are farming now in a difierent world from that which existed twenty or thirty years ago. Thirty years ago, in tne country west of the Missisïippi we could grow all the calves we wanted by simply herding the cattle on the range. Some great calves they were that we grew then, where proper attention was given to mating. Now the range in these states is no more; even the great range® of thq west are broken up. .The question comes up; Where shall we get our feeding steers?

A good many farmers now are turning their attention to dairying. They see tlieir neighbors make money apparently hand over fist. They con- clude that they can do whatever tl eir neighbors can, and are dispo.sea ta cliange over from feeding steers to milking cows. There are many farmers who have been feeding steers who liave concluded it does not pay any longer, and that they will go back to growing corn and selling it on the market.

The reasons which liave led to this unstablp ieeling among farmers are obvious; The putting into cultivation of nearly all the really good land, tliut has hitherto been uncultivated; the fencing up oi the ranges; the sale of many of the fenced ranges for farms; the high price of corn that has prevailed for the last two years and is likely to prevail a third. All this has set the farmers to thinking as to what changes they could profit-- ably make. Our advice is that they make these changes only after mature consideration and study of their own capacity.

It does not follow that because a man has made a great ’success iu feeding steers that his neighbors with apparently equal opportunities would make the same success. It does not follow that because a man has been successful iu dairying that he will be equally successful ' in feeding steers or growing hogs. It does not follow that the man who has been successful in all these would make a howl- ing success in handling sheep.

It is well to study the farm and the markets, but the important tiling is to study yourself amd ascertain whether with care, diligence and study there is reason to believe that you can furnish the personal element necessary to success in any under- taking. Unless this change is made with very great vare the probability is tliut a difierent set of conditions will prevail before the farmer has adapted himself to the present conditions.

Farmers are noted for being a conservative class. They do well to be conservative, and just now there is more than the usual necessity for care in making any radical changes. As a rule it will be better for the man who has made a study of ceding steers, for example, to keep right on, but study carefully how he can de- crease the cost of making a pound of beef. Let the man who has been fairly successful in dairying keep right on, but be more careful to weed out his cows. If the farmer has not been making money feeding his corn to his live stock and concludes that he had better go to growing corn for sale in the market let him consider that so mauv other farmers may take the 9UU1-. step tliut com may in « short time be relatively much cheaper than cattle.

HEAVY YIELD OF . WESTERN WHEAT Seventy Bushels to Acre in

Lethbridge and Others Surprises, >

The latest reports ot western condi tions received by the Interior Depart- ment at Ottawa from their agents in the western provinces give indica- tions of a decided improvement in the transportation difficulty, and a deep optimistic feeling as to the future. Threshing operations are practically finished, and the result of the late bountiful harvest, which drew the eyes of the world to that part ot Canada, has apparently exceeded the most sanguine expectations.

From Lethbridge it is reported that the yield of wheat has exceeded 70 bushels to the aere, and a report from Gladstone, in Manitoba, says that one farmer threshed 45 bushels per acre from a 12 acre field, and also a farmer living a few nalles from Re- gina threshed wheat yielding 38 hush- els to the acre, and all grading No. 1 Such instance are many and from dif fehent localities both in the east and svest of the three provinces, which no doubt gives round for such confid- ence as to the near future. ■JSdpecial note must also be made of

the reports received about the newly sown fall wheat, which is pronounced to be in unusually fine condition for this time of IdieiJ.Jtear. ,*he weather conditions fine

situation is also in that which it IS quite safe now to

preüitt that there will be no repeti- tion of the trouble of previous wint- tetq. The coal mines are wbrking dou blé shifts, and from all ^quarters the cbeerful reports come in that lots of fuel, either coal or wood, is on hand. In the matter of car shortage, suffi- cient Improvement is reported to remove the question from one of great anxiety, as evinced in previous reports; nevertheless, greater improvement is to be desired. The Canadian Northern railway aup commended for giving a very satisfactory service. From points on the main libe of the Canadian Pacific railway an improvement is evident but such places as In- dian Head, Lethbridge, Nanton, Re- gina, Herbert, Redvers, Yorkton and Moose Jaw, reports insist that busi- ~nêss is blocked through lack of proper railroad transportation facilities.

CANADIANS HAVE A GREAT RESPONSIBLITŸ

SAYS LORD MILNER.

Toronto, Oct. 27—When present- ed at Toronto University last week tor the degree of L.L.D., Lord Milner after acknowledging the honor confer ted upon him, said it was a further bosor that his name should have been associated with that of the man who bad done more than any other living for the empire.

Addressing himself more particular- ly to the student body, he said,,that while Canada was altogether a young country as things went in the new world still it was within comparat- ively recent times that the Dominion bad taken the foremost place among the countries of. the world.

“lt’s<3|great future," he saidl “is absolutely assurred, but the next fifty years may possibly be the most de oisive period in its history. Those will be peculiarly formative years. They may very well and very likely determine the whole of. its subse- quent development for centuries. The stream will flow in channels, which you dig and the direction which you give to it.

“It is a great privilege and a thing to be proud of and rejoice in, but it is also a great responsibility to belong to that generation of Canadians which is destined to give the decisive turn to the history of their country, and perhaps with it the history of the whole empire. ‘

“To that generation those whom I am addressing belong. It is a great responsibility for all Canadian men and women who are young today, but the heaviest burden of responsibility rests upon those who have the ten talents, I mean to say that those who are members of this and other universities are brought into close con tact with and have the opportunity of profltimg by best thought and learn- ing of their age and country. .

“They have got to be the leaders of its intellectual and political development. They will take their place in the work of material progress, but the higher side of national life is more especially entrusted to their care. It is for them to lay deep and strong the foundation ot genuine learn ing and civic virtue upon which to raise the vast superstructure of material prosperity.”

The prospect was one to be contem plated with almost awe, said Lord Itilher, and in conclusion he added that through his association with the university he should feel entitled '

ii'.taksÀ'deeper interest in its Ba^/fbf>se'df tianada.

At the conclusion of the marriage ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Hunter received the congratulations and best wishes of the guests after which the party repaired to the dining room, where a most appetizing wedding dinner was enjoyed.

Mr. and Mrs. Hunter left on the 6'30 G.T.R., train for Montreal Bos- ton and New YoA. They were follow ed to the train by a number of their friends who wished to say their good byes as they boarded the train.

The bride travelled in a suit of navy blue broadcloth and an allover lace blouse with hat to match.

The bride was the recipient of many ornamental and useful gifts the groom’s gift to the bride was a black Persian lamb stole and muff. On their return they will reside in Toronto. In the meantime we join their friends in hearty good wishes for their future happiness.

Some days ago, Mr. A. I. Mac- donell. Clerk of the Counties Council Cornwall, addressed a communication to the clerks of the several townships that go to make up the United Coun- ties of Stormont, Dundas and Glen- garry soliciting support for the St. Paul’s Home, Cornwall, which is under the supervision of the Sisters of Hotel Dieu and which since its establishment has done so much for the aged poor and infirm ot this district. Mr. Macdonell drew attention, to the fact that at a cost of some $28,000, a new building had recently been erected having accomodation for upwards of 100 patients; that jduring the past twelve months, 72 patients were on the roll, of whom but three paid for their maintenance. The expense of keeping the institution in op eration during the past year was with in a fraction of $5,000. To meet same it received a provincial grant of $1336,79, that added to receipts from all sources fell short by $1050 of the total receipts St. Paul’s Home which is non-sectarian is undoubtedly doing the work of a County House of Re- fuge and does away with the necessity for the establishment of such an institution in the United Counties. The sisters in our opinion, justly so, have arrived at the conclusion that their efforts and good works entitle their institution to more substantial voluntary grants from the Municipal- ities therein interested by the fact, that almost without exception their indigent poor and infirm are receiving in that establishment every attention Their opinion may rightly be considy ered just when it is known that Pro- vincial Inspector, R. W. Bruce Smith in his last annual report, not merely praises the management of St. Paul’s Home, but adds the significant rider, “Only three of the inmates pay their own maintenance at this home. I was somewhat surprised to find that many of the poor are sent from different Townships of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry to this Home, but for some reason their maintenance is not paid for as it should be by the Municipalities from, whence the inmates came-”

During the year 1907 out of 21 Mun cipalities which go to make up the United Counties, only 8 practically but a third contributed to the support of this worthy institution of which Cbarlottenburgh forwarded, $50.00 Lochiel and Lancaster Town- ships like amounts and Kenyon, the sum of $15.00. It is worthy of note to strengthen our plea for support of the Home to state that 27 of the 72 inmates were from the County of Glengarry. Charlottenburgh and Loch- iel sent 7 each, to Lancaster and Ken yon may be credited 4 each, Alexand- ria, 3 and Lancaster Village, 2.

Mr. Macdonell, in his circular draws attention to the fact that the Coun- ties Council for some years now has not made any grants to St. Paul’s Home for the reason that several of the out-lying Municipalities do not send any inmates there and should therefore not be taxed for its support adding that the Finance Committee, of the United Council have concluded that the only equitable mode is to contribute on the basis ot the number of inmates from the respective Muni- cipalities at a reasonable weekly figure. “Some Municipalities” he says, “have paid nothing lor years, although represented by a large per- centage of the inmates. This is neither charity, justice nor even good busi ness. The remedy Is obviously for every municipality to pay for the keep its own inmates as they would be obliged to do in a County House of Refuge is one were established.”

Mr. Macdonell, when .we consider, the, high price of living to-day, is well within the mark in our opinion, when he suggests that the sum ot $3 per week is the minimum figure per week at which an elderly person could be fed housed and clothed at thé home and concludes as follows “Surely the smoothing of the pathway of these poor old people worthy but unfortun- ate, and the making of their last days pleasant and peaceful is an object worthy ot the highest commendation, and one which should not appeal in vain to the sympathy and charity of the members of the local councils.”

This important matter no doubt, will as requested receive attention at the hands of the several Councils and it may really be looked for that with the matter placed fairly before the members of those boards the same will not merely receive due consideration, but that tangible proof will be forthcoming that the efforts of the Sisters of the Hotel Dieu who so ably conduct the St. Paul’s Home are re- cognized.

BRITAIN'S SMALLEST HOUSE.

IS YOUR cow BARN PROPERLY VENTILATED AND LIGHTED ?

Winter will soon be coming on and the cows, instead of having the abundant ventilation and sunlight which the open fields give will be con fined to barns more or less during five months of the year during their milking period. The cow needs fresh air quite as much in winter as in summer, and can not properly perform her function, whether it be producing milk or meat, without this abundant supply. Therefore we raise the question: Have you provided for ventilation in your cow barn?

If, when you open the barn door on a cold morning the steam pours out, you may know that your barn is not properly ventilated. How was it with you last winter? If it was not properly ventilated, then your cCVs have not been. opmfortable. II the steam which is the breath of the cows and their perspiration, has made the atmosphere so damp that it becomes a good conductor, your cows have not been as comfortable as they would have been in a well made open shed open to the south. You do not feel so comfortable on a foggy day as in one clear and cool.’Do you want your cows to continue in that condition this winter and thus make an ineffi- cient use of the fiftycent corn and the clover hay that you are feediog? Moreover, your cows will be breathing vitiated air heavily laden with carbonic acid gas,, which is injurious to them, air which is deficient in the oxygen which is absolutely essential to her making proper use of the feed-

There is no reason why any cow baen L L barn can not be properly ventilated, no matter bow tightly built it may be. All that is necessary is to provide an Intake near the floor on the outside, carry it Up and let the air into the stable near the ceiling and to proiide an outlet in the shape of t hox of planed and grooved material reaching from within six inches of the floor to the roof. One box is suf- ficient lor ten, fifteen Or twenty cows depending upon ij,^.. location and size. Tlîis outfit, of (x.vrse, must go up to the rcof, and must be so constructed that it can be regulated according to the temperature and the direction of the wind. This is what is known as the King system, and is regarded as thi best system as yet developed. It has the advantage that it can be con stneted by any carpenter, or by the farmer himself fl he is at all handy with tools.

Equally important with ventilation is lighting. We are having a great den! of compieint of tuberculosis am( ng cows in dairy sections. If farmers really knew the extent to which this disease prevails and must necessarily prevail when hogs are al- lowed access to the droppings of dairy or other cattle, there would be sn earnest inquiry everywhere tor a remedy.

We do not propose to give the remedy here, but simply point out the fact that tuherco.fi us herds are al- ij'osl univcsally found in barns that are deficient in ventilation and in sun light; for sunlight is the great cheap disinfectant. Tbc'c is plenty of sur- light outside even in winter, and all that is necessary is to let in througii glass windows, so that it reaches every part of the barn. This can be done at small expense by an farmer, and would be done if he realized the value of sunlight as a disinfectant Every farmer knows that young pigs lambs, or any other young things never thrive in a dark pen. They must have sunlight; and while the

COST'S do not need sunlight as much as calves or young things generally, nevertheless it is essential to good health.

Village of Sorbie Has Tmy DwAHfig With Area 48 Square Feet.

The diotinetioc of the smallest house in Great Britain be- longs to the Tillage of ^rbie, in Wigtonshire — thirteen miles from Newton Stewart. In proportion to its stae, Serbie hae more one-apartment housee than any other village, town, or city in the United Kingdom. These houaea, too, are not in tenexnente, but are ea^ separate and complete in themselTca.

One of them is occupied by Miss Jenny Davidson, and would be hard to b^t for smallness. Its dimeiisions are: Lengtii, 9 feet, breadth 6 feet, and height 6 feet 4 inches. The area is thus only 48 square feet, and its cubical content of 351 square feet.

The third house, occupied by Miss Jenny Mitchell, is slightly smaller, being 7 feet 8 inches, by 7 feet by 6 feet 4 inches high, giving an area of 63 3-3 square feet, while its cubical content works out at 339 8-9 cubic feet. Mias Mitchell is proud of her little abode, and often lx>ast8 joking- ly that when she is ’'At Home” there is no room for anyone or anything else—not even the smoke. The rents of the houses vary from 20s. to 25s. per annum. Serbie also has a 'tot* of a shop, occupied by Mr. Anthony McWilliam, general merchant, that would be in the running for smallest shops in Great Britain.

Conway has a curious little bouse on the quay of that town. This house has a frwitage of only 72 inches, while the distanoe from the back to the front is exactly 100 inches. The bouse consists of two rooms only, each room being about 6 feet by 3 feet.

'Ht is 80 small,” says Mr. Jemes, **that a lady can shake hands from the bedrcK«n window with a gentleman standing on the main street before it.”

SEPTEMBER AT BRAEMAR

Some Picturesque Ceremonies Take Place at Mar^Lodge Every Autumn. ^hidoubtedly the most important

of the many "gatherings” which take place in Scotland during SeptemE>er ia that of the Braemar Royal Highhui^d Socieiy, which was held reoently, in the Pnnoess Royal Park. The "gath- ering” is under the patronage of the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princees Royal and the Duke of Fife; and th<xigh Their Ma>esties were not, of course, IMPeeent, the other royaltie« were. Just ae^ BraeoMr is the chief of the gatherings, so is Mar Lodge the chief o< the many Scotch houses tlM axe rtot^ for their splendid hoepitahiy during the autumn, though the Prin- oees Royal does i>oi ent^ttün v^ry laz^y. Dinner at Mar Lodge after a big day wHh the deer is always an kopnesxre affair. To begin with, the Prinoeee Royal always, by eoeiom, ptweedes guests to the heatha and rowan decorated table. During deeeert the Duke of Fife's pipers march round and rouzki the ttê, playing Highland melodiee, azkl later in the evening there is often a ”deer-da»ec**. The noble qmarry are laid in a heap in front of the ewile, whilst gilbes, keepers, and other re- tainers carrying torches, dttaoe round

to the aecompanimeui of wehrd pipe music. Scoiku»! is notbànç if not picturesque, and there ia, perhaps, AO part of the kingdom where mote quaint customs amrriwe.

JOHNSIMPSON&SON Alexandria, Ont.

Adapting The Crops To The Soil OBITUARY The farmer who knows exactly the

kind of soil best fitted to grow each crop is well acquainted with his busi ness. Trying to raise a crop on ground not adapted to it is like driv ing an illy-matched team, not at all J satisfactory, and who is contented with a business that does not satisfy him?

I ^believe that all root crops re- quire a thoroughly ripened soil, and by this I mean one that has no un- decomposed matter in it. Otherwise they do not mature properly and are very apt to rot. Like potatoes ior instance, probably the most important of such crops. I have seen people who planted their iced lot, year after year, to potatoes, under the impression, perhaps that all the tubers needed was very rich ground. Possibly these people would live on nothing but sweetmeats or the very richest kind of food themselves, if they could do so, no matter what the consequences might be. In the fall they keep stock in the lot and in the spring when the stock is turned out to pasture, it is used for potatoes again, and so the rotation con tinues.

This lot is usually ,the weediest place on the farm and at digging time, although the weeds may be mowed ofl, their roots are so large and so firmly set in the ground that one cannot imagine the harvesting of the crops of tubers under more unfavorable conditions. Then, too after a while one has a lot of rotten potatoes to deal with, the odor of which can only be prepared to that of rotten eggs, except that you do not have to break the shell as you do with the eggs.

Now I think the best place lor potatoes is sod land that has had one or two crops raised on it after being broken up. and the feed lot will raise corn as well as any place That the potato rots because of being bruised in handling, I cannot credit. I have raised or helped raise potatoes almost ever since I was able to work and I have seen potatoes so badly mashed as to be cracked through and through, without showing any sign of rot, but were just as sound in the spring as at digging time in the fall. We used to haul the wagon to the field, fill it, haul to the house and shovel down a shute into a bin in the cellar without a thought of care in the matter of bruising them —a partly rotten potato we might find, but not more than in the field at time of harvesting and I do not believe any crop will rot in a dry place, at a proper temperature properly handled.

Bunch beans, I think should be planted in very poor ground, otherwise the redundant folThge will cause the beans to rot, especially if It Is a wet season, unless they are gathered every day, while the scant foliage on account of the poor soil will allow the sun and air to reach the beans and the whole crop will be ready to harvest at the same time.

I may be wrong in all this, but in reading the Agriculturist I came to the sentence which heads this article and thought I would qrlte something' on the subject as it seems to me one that every farmer should try to thoroughly understand. Per- haps the soil can be somewhat modi- fied to suit the crop, but to always raise the crop best adapted to the soil would mate farming pleasanter and more profitable to all concerned, and that seems to me to be the es- sence of successful farming.

Mr, Alexander McRae. One of the most venerable and

most highly esteemed residents of the Township of Lochicl, in the person of the late Alexander McRae, Esq., passed awav to his eternal reward at his home, Lot 2-3rd, on Wednesday, 21st Inst., aged 89 years and some months.

The deceased, who was the father of Mr- F. A. McRae, deputy reeve of that Township and our esteemed townsman, Mr, J. A. McRae, cheese buyer, was born in May, 1819, on lot 5-lth Lochiel. In 1853 he married Catherine Morrison, of Ste. Justine, who predeceased him some months ago. He was well and favorably known throughout Glengarry, and for upwards of thirty years w'as Elder of the Presbyterian church, Glen Sand- field.

Five children survive to mourn his loss, four sons and one daughter, Ca- therine and Malcolm on the home- stead ; John A. of Alexandria ; Fred A. of Laggan, and Norman J, now in British Columbia.

Interment took place at Kirk Hill cemeter- on Friday, the service being conducted by the Rev, Mr. McCallum and was attended by a large con- course of sympathising friends.

The pall-bearers were Messrs. Don- ald McGillivray, John McCuaitr. F. McCrimmon, R. McRae, Angus Dewar and J. R. McRae.

We extend our sympathy to the bereaved.

May not need it now. Here is a simple home-made mix-

ture as given by an eminent authority on kidney diseases, who makes the statement that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney 'trouble if taken before the stage of Bright's dis ease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; painful and discolored urina- tion, are readily overc<$ae. Here is the recipe. Try it:

Fluid Ext^^t DandeAn, one-half ounce; Compel^ Kainn one ounce; Compound syru^Sar*parilla, three ounces. Take a^M|Kpoonful after each meal and at nHtime.

A well-known drunû here in town is authority thaV th« ingredients are all harmless And easily mixed at home by shaking well in a bottle. This mixture has a peculiar healing and soothing effect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheuma tism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and strain from the blood and system all .uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matterl which cause these afilic tions. Try it If you arenot well. Save the prescription.

Commonwealth Is Remarkably Free From Offenders,

It is not quite thirty years yet since the last of the buslirangers met the end he deserved on the scaffold in Melbourne Gaol. The first records we have of the work of bushrangers dates back to about a century ago, so that bushranging lasted for about seventy years in the Antipodes. Yet to-day statistics prove that Australia compares favorably with any country in the world in the master of crim- inality. During the past quarter of a century many prisons in New South Wales and Victoria have been done away with, or converted into stores or factories. To tho'se who know the history of Australia this is a wonder- ful record, and one that speaks vol- umes for the sterling character of our kinsmen "down under,*" as a people. It may be doubted if any one among the younger nations of the world has ever been so severely and systematically handicapped in the early stages of its developm-ût- Australia ; and certainly none has come so finely through the ordeal. For many years we gave Australia the dregs and sweepings of our populace, and adopted methods for their control which were calculated to make beasts of sainte, let alone weak and erring men. For long alter that period England made a point of unload- ing its least desirable "remittance men** in the Antipodes. Yet, in what must be considered an incredibly short space of time, Australia suc- ceeded in flinging off its burden and purging itself from the bad blood of early days. It is a truly worxierful record of moral and material process that Australia haS accomplished, and now, with a progressive settlement and immigration policy, and the complete realization of federation, the beautiful ieland continent bids fair to^develop in prosperity and population at a pace which no other poison of the Empire will find it easy to exceed.

A SUNLESS"LÀNa

SUFFRAGETTE CAMPAIGN.

Some Clever Women Are Ardent In British Agitation.

The militant section of the women suffragists continues to carry on an active campaign. It also continue*^ to sail in st^m launches opposite the terrace of the Parliament building displaying large banners bearing the mottoes "Votes for Women*’ and other « campaign slogans.

ITve pretty and intellectual suffragists have lately made themaelvee eonspicuous. Miss Dorothy Maloney, who will go down in the history of women's suffrage as the Dundee Bell- ringer, is, it may be said without of- fence, one of the beauties of the movement. As her naae implies. Miss Maloney is of Irish extraction, and she has all your Irishwossan's feminine charm and nimble wH. It would be difficuit to imagine a more feminine, refinad-looàing girl than young lady w4ko has quaintly earned immortality as the Bellring^ of Dundee.

Miss Amber Reevea, who hae been braSeketed fiiet in Part II. of tiïe Cambridge Moral Setenoe Tripos, is an ardent supporter of women's suf-' frage, azMi took part m a reeeut de- Baonstratkm. This sweet girl graduate is a daughter ^ GreaUr Bri- iain, for E>er father is the popular High Commisarooer for the Dînion of New Zealand. Mist Hooves was educated at the Kensington High School, from whwre she went to Newn- hazu, and is now going to enter the School of Economics; but in her spare time she will help the suffra- gist eauee in any way in her power.

Scottish Colonists Are Going to Try to Live on Kerguelen Island.

It is to be hoped that the sixfy colonists who sailed from the Tyne tile other day for Kerguelen Land, in the Indian Ocean, are sturdy, ha^y folk, used to s<^tude and roughing Ü.

For of all places on earth, outside the Arctic and Antaretie rôns, thia is the moet isolated and mhoepitatde. Indeed, it is generally Ibiown to mari- ners, not by its official title, but as Desolation island.

Most nations have owned it by turns, but it has been sooner or later abandoned by them all as worth- less, and this although it covers an area variously estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 square mUes. At present France is in nominal possession of it, she having apnexed it in 1^.

There are inhabitants,, nor is it easy to see how those who are now on their way there are going to exist. The soil is utterly ban^. Practical- ly the whole of the interior is cower- ed with snow-fields unknown deptti, whence glaciers flow down to the sea. Where there are no snov-fields, there are morasses, and hidden, trea<haPOus mud-holes.

The îmate is probably the worst in the world. Terrific tempests follow one another practically without ceasing, and are accompanied by tor- rents of ice-cold rain, hail, sleet, and snow. The Challenger expedition spent a month there, during which time there were only three fi^ days. And this was in December-January, when it is mid-summer in those lati- tudes.

Its discoverer, M. Kerguelen Tre- marec, although at first 1M professed to ^ enraptured with it, lived to coniees that it was unfit for human habitation. "Not even Eskiinoe,"he exclaimed, "could exist there.**

Yet tire present expedition, we are told, mtends taking there thirty ne- gro laborers from Africa.

Eighth Wonder of the WoHd. To realize fully the wondrous beau-

ty of th« Zambesi Falls, lUiodesia, one must have time to linger and watch the ever-clianging scene. The depths of the chasm below are veil- ed frtnn sight by tire rising columns of opalescent mist and above tire yawning abyss the sun glints and sparkles weaving tire drops into a magnificent rainbow. Three hundred feet below roaas and boils the swirl- ing flood, as it emerges from the Boiling Pot, rushing on down the zigzag gorge between towering cliffs of rock, narrow', fierce, and of un- fathomable depth. One feels that Rhodesia is indeed thrice blessed to possess within her territories the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Indian Bridal Custona. In India, with its teeming and

poverty-stricken myriads, parents often find it no easy task to marry off

ftheir daughter», for a wife has to be bought by the suitor. Widows arc cheap, and when a father finds his daughter getting on in years he makes a widow of her by the simple process of marrying her to a bunch of flowers. When the flowers are dead she is technically a widow, and caft be offered at a bargain price.

With tailor suits girls will wear soit pliable belts of plaited braid run through a buckle in front. These are the newest belts out. They can be gotten in diSerent widths, although the narrow belt .is the fashion tiis winter on short skirts that are cut ofi at' the waist line. They can be made at home quite simply, but the cost is not much less lor the home- quite attractive because so simple they because they are so simple that they fit Into the lines of the figure and convey the impression that the waist the smaller than it actually is.

For morning wear there are simple little over blouse and shirt-waist dresses that are most pleasing after the inevitable white waist and separ ate skirt, and not a bit less comfort able and convenient. Light-weight flannels, cashmeres, challis, serges, and. numerous other cloths of similar textures are employed in their con- struction, and braids, buttons, bias bands, pipings, and machine stitching for decoration—seldom anything more elauorate: Most of the models close at the side fiont or directly in front, and in nearly every instance they are in tw^ports joined at the waist un- dern^th a belt which is either of j the/same or of the trimming mater- is,i. A pretty suggestion is found in a

-^pdel developed in cream-colored chal lis with shadowy blue dots scattered over its surface. While it is construct ed in the two parts of waist and sjrirt, there is a front panel in the skirt, which is extended, except ' for the belt is an unbroken line to the waist.

« • •

Clever little blouses for morning shopping wear are of cheerful plaid taSeta, piped with harmonizing silk in plain color and brightened still fur ther by rows of tiny gilt buttons down the front and half way up the outer seam of the sleeve. Snowy frills of net and lace edge wrists and necks and sometimes peep out all the way down the front. Other silk blouses are of the wrap-printed Dresden silks in quiet color tones or of the very

,„soft directoire satins- that have a fore most place this year.

Bordered materials are numerous among the woolen stufis as well as among the silks and sheer materials, and some very good eOects as well as some very bizarre ones are displayed in the cloths,' serges, homespuns, etc. A pretty navy blue serge with a bord er of tartan plaid in rather dark col oring holds admirable possibilities, and a broad wale rough navy blue serge with a border of loosely woven black and white block check is good border material. Striped cheviia in navy blue and bronze green, iiofi so dark that the stripe is hardly dis- tinct, with a border in waving lines of green, is practical and attractive.

hats. It is known as prunelle, and is a beautiful tone of purple. An entire hat of this color is superb. A woman in half-mooirning is quite fortunate this year, for everything seems to be designed for her. Purple, parms black black and white, are all attuned- to suit her condition. Handsome plumes •are put on big hats, the former turn- over, that is to say, fastened so the inside will show. A hat noted was garnished with five long plumes, all in black. That was one too much decoration for the hat, which was immense. There is nothing the least new in hats this autumn. Aigrettes and garnitures are about the same as they were a year ago. Big black hats with long, rich plumes of white are perhaps leaders.

It is no longer considered fashion- ; able to wear large pufis in the coiffure. It makes no • difference whether they are one’s own or bought and ap plied. They are out of style. The girl who attempts the former coiffure of three large puffs at the back of the head, running to the nape of the neck, should learn to do her hair otherwise The little puffs are- the ones in fashion. They are bought by the string, and pinned on the hair just above the collar. The only comb worn with them is perfectly flat one on top of the head that pushes the pompadour forward. Its rim must not stand up, but must nestle down in the pompad- ’ our.

It has not been so fashionable in years to wear the hair parted as at the present time. The reasons arc two it gives an added air of refine- ment to the countenance and only so much of the forehead is exposed as is becoming. Where the hair is parted it is easier to dress if curled in a light marcel wave. A pretty way to handle the front hair is to part it in the middle and roll each half well off the face, keeping the rolled parts in place with shell combs, There are those who find it mor<î becoming to let the waves play on the temples or the forhead, wliilc many; prefer the extreme style of covering the ears. The hair also will be worn parted a Jitllc to the left siile, but not all women can wear the left part well.

Corîiuroy is an excellent material for an afternoon dress for a young girl. Somewhat more youthful than either smooth elolli or velvet, corduroy is also intenselv becoming, provided a g(K')d color, lirown, blue or red. is seleeled. Beyond the silk collar, '.(‘vers and cun's on the coat and thi- lace y»'ke and cuffs of the bodice, a corduroy et)stume should K* quite unadorneu, for the heavy rib )ed ma- tf rial is f.-r more effeclive nd infin- il ;-- mo: youthful' if no. coverc<l üito str-nping or braidin^g or full, ri,pl-iis i:. ihi> skirt.

New petticoats brought from Paris show the yokes cut in deep points over the hips as well as in the center front and often in tho center-back the skirt itself being so gored that there is no fulness at the top, w!5erc the yoke is stitched over it. Some of these petticoats recently seen for wear \Vith street costumes' are in rich ponlins of heavy but soft material, and in deep-toned plaids, dark blue barred with scarlet and line of white, and the flaring edge, guiltless of ruffle, is finished by a mere rose inching of taffeta matching in hue the background of the skirt. This single ruching is set on the extreme edge ôf the skirt. These poplins will last practically forever, as they do not crack, nor do they w'rinkle. They are also while light and soft very warm and quite the thing for late autumn

I and for winter wear. 1 u

1 The favorite sleeves is the long Mar I guerite, which, whatever its mater- ' ial, is as close fitting as possible and : pointed long over the hand. This of

ten serves for a foundation sleeve only, though for the sleeves must join the waist in such a manner that it appears not to .be separated from the waist at all, and even where,this is to serve as the sleeve itself the armside is so arranged that it has no definite line. But tucking and^'uoli ing are not elaboration enough for the new order of things, it seems, and so before we have had time to become fairly used to tlie long sleeve with its plain, severe lines, we are asked to trim, sometimes elaborately with frills of lace that run length wise down the 'top of the sleeve, with tiny buttons doing likewise, with pas sementerie, embroidered bands, braid, or any other trimming that ingenuity can suggest. ^

There seems to be a cabal against white gloves. Their doom for street wear was sounded 'two years ago, when France dropped them in favor of the gray and tan glove, Now Paris and London are wearing pale gray long gloves for evening with every kind of white and pastel gown. Us- ually these are of suede. They make the hand look smaller than the glace white kid and are rather a relief from it. It is probable that the fash ionable women will start wearing gray gloves over here. They are al- ready wisely used for street and are considered the fashionable thing for formal afternoon affairs. They are be ginning to be worn with elbow i sleeves at theatres and restaurants !

‘ and the winter may see them with | bail gowns.

When ironing any embroidered article, see how much better it will look in the end if you lay it on a lolder Turkish towel. Plaçe the right side of the article on the tower which should be folded to form several thicknesses; then iron on the wrong side. The embroidery will stand out remarkably well if treated in this way. The back of a waist which has many small buttons will look better if ironed in the | same manner. |

To hang a picture at just the right height is generally a difficult matter, unless one has patience. Now, an easy way to do it is to take a long wire, make one end into a loop and place it on one hook on the moulding then pass the W'ire down the wall through one screw-eye in'the picture, along tile back of the picture frame, through the other screw-eye, and then up to a second hook on the moulding where a loop similar to the first should be made in the wire. After making tho second loop, but before cutting the wire, it is easy to adjust the picture eivenly and at the de»iredj height.

Several ways in which old shirt- \Vaists may be utilized for morning wear in the kitchen an old shirtwaist may be remodeled as follows; Cut off the collarband and make the neck a little lower; then stitch on a fitted band of the same or a contrasting material. Tliis will be found more comfortable to work in than a high neck. Cut off the sleeves to the elbow, hem them, and run elastic through the hem; or a lay-down collar may be made, and the edge of the waist finished with a belt and peplum to be worn over the skirt. This is easier to put on in a hurry than to adjust the skirt over the waist. A drcssing-sacque may also be made fro_m a shirtwaist that is out of style but not worn out. Rmove the neckband and cuffs, also the Iront j plait, and let out the fullness at the } back and front; then stitch on bands : of some colored muslin, kimono fash- j ion, to neck, sleeves and front. Still another way is to make corset-covers from out-of-date white shirtwaists Cut out the sleeves and cut the neck low; finish both with embroidery bead ing in which to run ribbon. Cut off the material at the waist-line, gather the fullness to fit the desired waist- measure, and finish with a band or wider beading with ribbon.

Devonshire Meat Pie.—Remove the meat from a knuckle of veal. Put the bones in a kettle, cover with cold water and add one slice of onion one slice of carrot, a bit of bay leaf, a sprig of parsley, twelve [>elpper- corns, and two teaspoontuls of salt Then heat slowly to the boiling point Add the veal, and let simmer until the meat is tender. Remove the meat and reduce stock to two cupfuls. Put one-half pound slice of lean raw ham in a frying pan, cover with lukewarm water and let stand on the back of the range for one hour. Brown four tablespooufuls of butter, add four tablespoonfuls of flour and when well browned pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, the two cupfuls, of stock. Then add veal and ham each cut into cubes, and let simmer for twenty minutes. Put in serving dish and cover with a top made of puff paste of coreeet size. It is much better to hake the paste separately and cover the pie just before sending to the table.

Brown Bread.—Use one cupful of cornmeal, one tahlespoonful of salt, three tablespooufuls of sugar, one cupful of boiling water, two cupfuls of sour milk, one cupful of molasses, two teaspoonfuls of soda, one in the milk, one ine the molasses; brown flour enough to make a stiff batter. Bake in three small loaves in a mod- erate oven tor one hour. A half-pound of raisins added is a great improvement.

Study Vegetables—If people would study the various vegetables, fruits, etc., as to the medicinal qualities in rernedying ailments there would be less demand for the doctor’s services. It- would not be difficult to remember that fruits and vegetables (tomatoes) are good for the liver. Lettuce and celery are good nerve tonics. Beans, peas, lentils etc., produce strength and heat, and are a good substitute for meat in winter. Onion and radishes are preventive® of colds. Eggs are easier to digest when slightly boiled than when r^w. Macroni and verme- celli on account of their closeness of grain, are not as easily digested as light bread. Potatoes, when mealy, are easily digested; when close and watery are hard to digest. Bananas, on account of the nitrogen they contain, are easy ,to digest. Sufferers, from dyspepsia should take turnips, spinacli, cresses, salads, celery, lettuce, and dandelions. A person suffer ing from chronic rheumatism should avoid dried fish.

Fruit Juice Pudding.—Take the juice of one quart can of any fruit and one- half cup of water; put into a sauce- pan and heat. Mix one cup of sugar aud three heaping tablespoonfuls of flour, thoroughly and gradually pour into the hot fruit juice. Stir briskly and cook five minutes. Pour iuto molds and serve cold with rich cream

“1 am convinced,” writes Mrs. A.B Hopeford from St. John,/“that a ma- ; jority of young girls -vô die of con | sumption do so becaua their moth- ^ era neglected th«L health at the crit- j ical time when^|r«uluess insures i vigor and sound liea^Ë. If a girl’s health is neglected fr to sixteenth year hei wciik and she becomes|â l'cÊky victim ‘ of typhoid, anaemial and in many . cases consumption itself. In her sixteenth year my youngest daughter. showed signs of failing strength. ' Some dyspeptic troubles developed, her heart became weak and palpita- tion frightened her dreadfully. She was irregular in the important bod- ily functions and rapid loss in a weight and a ruddy complexion pointed 10 a rapid decline.

She disliked making her troubles known to our doctor, a feeling I felt I should respect, and so by good for- tune 1 was led to use Ferro/.one with most gratifying results. My neighbor next door, Mrs. Woods, had found Fer rozonc so good in nervousness that she persuaded me that it would res- tore Flossie’s health, and from the lime the second box was commenced her improvement was constant. She ' is now a l)ig, strog girl, ruddy and plump, able to study hard and to take her*.share of housevold duties. I am an earnest advocate of Ferrozonc.

HIQS m IRE HOyREWIEE Housekeepers may be glad to know

that instead of lard or bacon rind a turnip cut in ha! it»* griddle thoroughly rubbed with the raw side will answer the purpose of greajsing. Fry the caskes a nice rich brown, and there will be no sticking and no odor or taste of the turnip. There is no smoke and mess as when lard is used nor is. the nice flavor of the buck- wheat destroyed by the use of grease. When mixing mustard add a salt-

spoonful of salt and the same quant- ity of moist sugar and mix with boil ing water. It will be found to keep moist much longer and have a better taste.

Use a clean fire brick instead of the ordinary iron stand and you will retain the heat of the iron much longer The usual iron stand not only admits the air to the bottom of the iron, but it conducts the heat from it. The brick is a non-conductor of heat.

in bottling iiomemuide pickles, etc., boil the corks, and while hot you can press them into the bottles. When cold they are tightly sealed.

Unslacked lime or plaster of paris mixed with white of egg to the con- sistency of cream is said to produce an excellent homemade cement for mending broken china.

in sweeping do not uso one side of the broom all the time.. Change it about often. This will keep it straight and as long as it lasts it will sweep well.

Rub a drop of olive oil on your knives and forks before putting away, and they will retain their brightness and be free from rust.

CARE ÜE HARD WORD ELOORS Hard wood floors are becoming more

and more popular. They arc cleaner than carpets and, therefore, appeal to most house-keepers. They can be made as good as new by the application of a little wax occasionglly. A good aud inexpensive floor for bed- rooms and kitchens is one of maple. It is hard and fine in grain. Where ornamental floors are desired, oak is recommended. This wood is particul- arly good for dining rooms and halls for it is both durable and beautiful The natural finish is really more desirable than when stained. Before ap- plying wax or shellac the floor must be thoroughly cleaned.

Each morning the dust should be re moved either by a broom wrapped in a soft cloth, or by a felt mop, which comes for the purpose. The floor may then be rubbed with a damp cloth, but musU'be immediately wiped dry and followed by a hard rubbing to give a polish. A waxed floor should never have any water on it. After the dust has been removed, the wax may be applied and must be well rubbed into the grain of the wood. This work is easily done by the use of a weight ed brush. This brush has a long handle and is shoved back and forth. Stains may be removed by a little turpentine. Oils are not recommended, for they will darken the surface.

THIN AS A RAIL, ARE YOU?

Every day spending as much energy as you make— if the balance goes a little further, .^well, you get thinner. Oil the danger ' line to-day,—to morrow may be too late! Better use Fer- rozone, il builds up—a little gain the first week, but the gains keeps growing. Next week, not quite so thin. Keep right on, lots of fat won’t hurt at all. Your blood is enriched cheeks grow rosy, your heart and nerves grow strong and you don’t tire so quickly. Joyous robust health', a sturdy frame and a cheerful mind — all these come 'vith Ferrozone. You will try it onlv/ôOc. at all dealers.

THE GOOD }nmm DF , SiLSS BSHER

^ By Harriet Lummis Smith ®

I The good memory of Silas Baxter.

It was the week before Commence- ment but Willard Pierce was thinking less of the approaching festivities, than of the future whieh lay beyond. He had not liad the unqualified approval of his family in taking his college course. He' had appealed to a wealthy uncle to loan him the funds he should need for finishing his educa tion, and had received this characteristic answer: “Eddication! ” repeated Uncle Enoci;. “You can write your name, can’t you? An’ add up a col- umn of Aggers? That’s all I can do.’’ He was surprised and resentful when Willard refused to be convinced that his uncle’s success proved the worth- lessness of a liigher education. Willard went to college with fifty dollars in his pocket, and was now about to graduate, outôf debt.

But the time had come for proving whether he or Uncle Enoch had been in the right of it. The young man’^s thoughts turned a little anxiously to- ward the future. He was ready to begin at the bottom of the ladder, refut ing Uncle Enoch’s charge that college was a place where folks got to feeling above getting started. The point was to find the ladder -«'ith a vacant round.

There were a number of letters beside Willard’s plate as he came down to his breakfast the majority of them being invitations to the festivities of Commencement week. One envelope had a business like look which at once aroused his interest. ■ He open ed it, and in an instant had lost his appetite for his meal, and temporar- ily interest in the day’s gayeties. For the the letter was the offer of a position, a good position at a good salary. The name, “Silas Baxter,’’ sign ed at the conclusion, awoke no mem- ories. Indeed the whole thing was so surprising that at once a fear seized him that there was some mistake.

“A firm isn’t likely to offer a good place like this to a fellow it knows nothing about,’’ thought Willard. “And if they knew anything of me, I never heard of them.’’ His unknown correspondent had asked him to call at his earliest C(^nvenience, and he rose from the table determined to make that errand first in the day’s program. If it were possible for him to settle the question of what he was to do after graduating, he knew he should have new heart for the festivities of Commencemeot week.

♦ • •

' Silas Baxter was in his office. His shrewd face seamed with innumber- able fine lines creased into a smile as Willard made his appearance. “Take a chair,” he said genially. “You’re prompt, but that’s no more than I ex pected.”

“Wasn’t it?” Willard exclaimed. He looked up puzzled into the keen, twinkling eyes. “I believe I have a reputation for punctuality,” he said. “I’ve always had to economize my time pretty closely. But I don’t know how you’ve found it out.”

“I discovered that characteristic in you a good while ago,” was the unex- pected reply. “Do you remember when you delivered papers?”

Willard laughed. “Yes, I ought to remember it. That was my first busi. ness venture. I guess my alarm clock woke up all the neighbors before it did me. I used to stand it on a tin pan at the head of my bed. ’ ’ He look ed at Mr. Baxter with pleased wonder. “Were you one of my customers!

“Yes, I boarded with my sister in those days, and she did the business with you. She had had a great deal of experience with paper-boys who couldn’t be relied on, and she never stopped singing your praises. Do you remember the teamsters’ strike when you walked to town every morning, for your papers, so as not to disappoint your customers?”

“I remember it now, I haven’t thought of it for years. But I hardly suppose—” Willard checked himself in the impulsive speech on his lips, and Mr. Baxter smiled.

I “Well, what is it?” he said encouri aîngly,

“I hardly suppose you are ottering me a position on the strength of that evidence. I was only twelve years old then.”

“Oh I’ve kept my eye on you since” said Mr. Baxter. “Do you remember your debate when you were in the high.school, It was held in that hall they pulled down a year or two ago for the new Y'.M.C.A. building.”

Willard laughed. “The debate I lost? Yes, I’m not likely to forget that.

For a long time it was a bitter memory. ’ ’

“Your opponent was a good speak- er,” Silas Baxter ackno-wledged. He had a lot of flowery talk at his tongue’s end that took with the judges. And you were lull of facts. You knew what yon were talking about. As I listened to you I said to- myself, ‘That’s business.’ Figures of speech are all right in their place” said Mr. Baxter mildly, “but a busl-

' ness man hasn’t time for em.’ He says: “Tell me what you kno-w and be quick about it.” I kne-w from that debate that yon had the making ot a good business man In yon.”

Willard’s face was aglow. “Then it wasn’t so much of a failure as I thought, that debate,’ he said. “I did work hard on it.”

“You were steward of a club in college, I believe? said Mr. Baxter, turn ing the subject abruptly.

The younger man stared and laagh- ed.

“Why Mr. Baxter, yo.u seem to know my whole past.”

Silas Baxter smiled. “A young felj low I knew was in that club. He told me the boys had paid lialf as m\ich again for poor food, poorly cooked as they did tor good fare after you took the management. He said there was a waiting list of fifty who wanted ad mission to your club, though there were a dozen of the same sort. Is that so?”

“I believe the club was popular. 1 had a practical mother who taught me some valuable secrets in marketing,” Willard explained witli a smile.

“Y'ou gave people more ior less money, and naturally they liked it. That’s good business,” said Silas Bax ter. Then he turned the conversation on the subjects of his morning’s letter. When Willard rose to go, the mat ter was definitely settled. Alter a week’s rest he was to take up his new duties, and the ease and simplicity of it all made him halt afraid he was in a delightful dream from which he would presently awake.

“I don’t know how to thank you, Mr. Baxter,” he said “for the interest you have taken in me. But I can promise you I will do my best.”

Silas Baxter smiled. “I’ve had my eye on you for a good while” he answered. “I’ve watched you in your school work and in outside things and I’ve noticed that it’s a habit of yours to do your best. That is why I want you in my employ. Good morning.”

Willard had expected his mother to he overwhelmed with surprise at his good news. But the surprise at his good news. But the surprise was his, for she took the announcement with matter-of-fact calmness. Even when he pointed out that Silas Baxter was a stranger, and that he had not asked for references, she refused to see anything extraordinary in his conduct. “He has watched you from the time time you were a little hoy” she said. “And he has seen that whatever you have tried, you have done well with it.”

“But it was all such unimportant work,” Willard explained. “No one would have supposed that it was going to play such a part in deciding my future.”

It’s like David’s experience” said Mrs. Pierce. “Don’t you remember that when the tribes of Israel came to him to make him king, they refer red to his record when he had been one of Saul’s officers. And when he was taking care ot his flocks he was getting ready for the victory over Goliath, which gave him his start. It all goes back to the sheep pasture.”

Willard smiled at her earnestness. “At least” he said, “you’ll acknowl edge that I owe my start to the good memory of Silas Baxter.”

“Yes, I’ll acknowledge that,” said his mother. “You owe your start to the good memory ot Silas Baxter and to the fact that you did your best when vou had no reason to think that anyone would remember it.” *

Botheration! ” I think it is scatteration,” said a

hearty, deep voice, and Sam raised up from his spill and laughed. Then the gentleman in dogf’ in gloves, and ■ the boy in none, bent their backs to- i gether, until the boxes and parcels , were safely within the strap again, and slung on Sam’s back. !

“Thank you sij-ee!” said the errand boy; he wishcu to know some better- words to show his gratitude. |

‘‘Don’t mention it,” said the gentle i man, waving a dogskin glove ever so ' lightly. Sam was immensely tickled; without putting into words, he was vaguely conscious that this was what one gentleman would say to anoiffier, - when a favor had passed. What a ; fine thing it must be to wear gloves, ; and have that sort of manner! Somc-| how the packages felt heavier than usual. i

“You are from Supplee’s?” the gentleman said falling into step with ■ Sam. That was evident enough, be. ing in large letters on boxes and packages and even on the boy’s cap and collar.

“Yes, sir’ I’m errand boy at Sup- plee’s.”

“Ah, an errand boy,” said the gentleman, in a musing way; “I salute you, comrade.” The dogskin went up stiffly to the hearers brim. “I am in that business myself.” !

“Sir!” cried Sam, twisting around ' to see if this piece of elegancy was j making fun of him. No, the gentle- 1 man looked grave and the light in his ; eyes was not in the least quizzical, j

“Yes,” returned the stranger; “I have for about twenty-five years been an errand boy; sometimes, I trust doing my errands faithfully; sometimes, alas! neglecting and slighting them. But I have a . very kind, for- giving master. I hope you have, my boy?”

“Mr. Suppléé is all right, sir; a fel low gets what he earns -with our ’ boss.” I

“Ah,” said the big “errand boy,” j “if my master only gave' what I 1 earned. I’d be badly off, lad!” .

“Who do you work for, sir?” ! “I am going to tell you,” was the , answer “because I want you to enlist i in his service with me. What is your

name, friend? I want to speak a word . for you to my master.”

“My name is Sam Hamilton, sir, but I don’t know as I want to leave Mr. Suppléé; I like Mr. Suppléé and he likes me, ‘Sam’ says he ‘I wish I had ten more boys that stuck to their jobs like you.’ I beg your par- don, sir but that is what he said.”

“Ah,” said the gentleman aâin, in that quick way of his, “loyal faith- ful,^ affectionate. My master seeks such to serve him.”

“What did you say his name was, I sir?”

“What! You have not guessed my master’s name, Sam? Who could it be

; but”— I At this moment the two errand boys

turned a corner, and almost ran into ; a party of gentlemen; the gentleman

seized Sam’s companion by the hand’ hats came off, and such pow-wo-w went on as brought folks to their win dows. Our boy was bursting with cur- iosity, but old Mr. Supplee’s confid- ence was not misplaced.

“See here!” he said to himself, “I : ain’t got time to gape around at : these swells. Mr. Supplee’s customers

did not put that in the . bargain.” Sam moved on and the pack prevents ed him from hearing the efforts the gentleman made to detain him.

I He never saw this big “errand boy” but once after that, for, to tell the truth the gentleman did not live in

: the city. A few weeks later Sam was - going on an errand to a distant part

of the town in the electric car. As he ' sprang in and took his seat, a big ,handsome man flashed a look of

* recognition at him and reached across the aisle—a dogskin glove. Of course Sam knew his comrade-in-trade —it was the “swell” errand boy.

“Well, Sam,” he said, “I’m glad to see you again; I lost the chance to tell you my master’s name.”

“I think I have guessed it, sir,” Sam doffed his banded cap just a little side.ways and said gravely, “It was God Almighty, wasn’t it sir?”

The gentleman moved up and put Sam beside him, and he now, laid his hand on the boy’s knee. Nobody could hear what they were - saying to each other.

“That is right, Sam,” he said, “that’s right. The Lord has sent me here to do his errands ; just that ; and. I’m hoping to win his approval, as you have done your master’s, by being loyal and true. I hope my mas ter is your’s Sam.”

The car stopped, and several gentlemen got up. “This is our stopping- place, Goternor,” said one. He touch ed Sam’s companion on the arm, but that gentleman was waiting for an answer to his question.

“I hope so, sir,” said Sam, and then he felt his hand grasped by the gloved one, and tlie party hurried ott-

Efaborate Cerenaonies Attend Impor- tant Event Anrtong Blacks.

All the pécule in the world have been given to marking the coming- of-age of their young folk with some kind of ceremonial. In Central Af- rica this is quite a serious business. A few of the customs in use among certain tribes are horrible; but in the main they show a kind of good sense. Among the Yao people, the principal figure in all the initi&tioD or cc«ning-of-age mysteries is a man called the rattler of the tails. He makes play with a bunch of wild-cat tails, wild-cats being creatures whi(di play a leading part in the witch- doctors medicines. This official con>- municates all kinds of knowledge to the young ideas of his tribe during the couple of months devoted to th^ initiation ceremonies. He lectures on the customs of the tribe, and on morals. He teaches unselfishness, for instance, and among these tribes the man who refuses to share his food with another is jeered at as "mw initiated.'’ During tltese ceremoni^ ttie boys iêceive new names, and if you want to insult them past all for- giveness you have merely to address them by their childhood's names after they have passed through the initiation ceremonies. The unyago, or period of initiation with girls, lasts only one month, and iiKsludes all kind of practiciU teaching as to agricultural and household work, the grinding of corn, and the like. Many of the ceremonies in use are purely symbolical; as when the girH are made to support a houseroof, to in- dicate that they are to be the pillars of their future homes. But there is also mu^ practical teaching, including a full and blood-curdling recital of the penalties which attach to wife- ly infidelity, and particular mstmfr tions as to bow best they may **feed the brute," and make pote and pans.

BOMB OUTRAGL

Indian Agitators Seriously ln|Mra Three Scotsmen.

Another bomb outrage, which was undoubtedly the work of native amta- tesrs, took place recently at Kankin- ara, on the Eastern Bengal State Railway, 20 miles from Calcutta, in which three Scottish mill assistante were seriously injured.

When the night mail train r«wAed ICankinara, îortly after 12 o'clock, the enginenr stc^ï^ in obedience to tile station signal, whieh was set at "danger." A m<anent later a bomb was fimsg into the second (dass ccun- parknent in which tiie three Scots- men were steeping.

man nearest the bomb, Wil- liam Oampeie, of Ikmdee, was thrown across the carriage by the force ol the explosion. One arm was shat- tered, and be reo^ved terrible inter- Tkal injuries, which will, it is feared, result fatally.

Gharies Brown, also of Dimdee, an engmeer at a jute mill, was sitting bemde Mr. Oampeie, and was hkewtea badly injured by fragmente of the bomb. The tinxd man, whose name has not be<^ adcertaii]^, was more fortunate, and his wounds are of a less serious diaracter.

There is no doubt that the bomb was intended to murder the occu- pants of the cMnpaitment, and that the train was stopped by the assas- sins in order to give ti»m a l»tter opportun!^.

In no way is health so menaced as by constipation. It leads to indigestion, insomnia, anaemia and a hundred ills. Ordinary remedies fail — they relieve—don’t cure. The worst case is defeated and cured quickly by Dr. Hamilton’s Pills, which cleanse the entire intestinal tract, stimulate kidneys and liver, keeps the pores of the skin open. You will never have stomach trouble, yellow complexion or headaches If you use Dr. Hamil- ton’s Pills. They arc a perfect sy*- tem tonic. 25c. at all dealeri.
