Miss Frankie Braddock, of Montreal, is visiting fiiends in this district. The interest and attendance at the special meetings held by the Baptist congregation in the Methodist church are increasing. The principal speaker this week is Rev J Coutts, Ormonde. A number of creditors ore mourning the very sudden departure of the proprietor of the South End meat market without giving them an opportunity of bidding him farewell. It is feared that ho may not be of the same disposition as the cat. The attendance at the District meet- ing Royal Templars of 'Temperance now in session here is good, there being over 30 delegates present. The principal address at the* opening meeting this (Wednesday) .evening will bo delivered by Sol Cutter, of Montreal. A first class residence is being erected by Duncan McDermid, of Sandringham, on a lot opposite the Presbyterian manse. When the same is completed we under- stand that Mr. McDermid will take up his residence here. His many friends in this district will be pleased to learn that Dr. E. C. D. Mac- allum, late of the IVoyal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, has hung out bis shingle in Clinton,Ont. TbeDr.is an old Maxville boy and his many Maxville friends wish him success. A very painful accident as well as a severe loss befel Duncan McMillan at the Crange demonstration at Riceville, on Tuesday. While giving an exhibition of the ciuiograph, the gas in connection with the machine exploded and set the instru- ment as well as the tent on fire, both being destroyed. In attempting to save his effects Mr. McMillan was severely burned about the face and hands. His assistant, Mr. D.McGillivray, also received a burn on his arm. Wm. Ogilvie, F:G.S.; D.L.S., and son Paul Ogilvie, who is an undergraduate of the science department of McGill, were guests of Dr. and Mrs. McDiarmid for few days last week. Mr. Ogilvie, within a short time, returns to the Yukon district. MONTREAL In the old days, the first headline in a* school copy book was, “Astronomy is an important study.” This should now bo en- larged to read thus, “Astronomy is alright; but bicycling is more important.” This is a very mild joke,, but the weather is so warm that even jokes have to ba tem- pered. Speaking about bicycles, however, reminds us of an article w’e noticed in the ‘Gazette’ Saturday, morningj referring to an accident to one, Mrs Flanagan, on St James St, a bicyclist having carelessly dis- turbed her equilibrium, causing her to sit down on the street rather more precopitate- ly than is fashionable. The ‘Gazette’ bew.'iils the lack 'of police antagonism to- wards wheelmen, and the helplessness of pedestrians at their hands or wheel, qtc., etc. Now, if this article had appeared in the ‘Gazette’ a day earlier, it would have been worth ten times as mnch,which would not be such a much even then, but coming after the catastrophe gives it an old fahion- ed flavor like that of the orthodo.x tale about some man locking his stable after the horses were stolen. What’s the use in lamenting the lack of police protection after Mrs Flanagan was hurt. But taking the case on its merits :—‘'The bicyclist turned sharply at the corner, throwing Mrs Flanagan down, and only glanced backward to see the effect, which is strictly in accord with the code of ethics observed by wheel- men,*' and why nbt. The code of ethics of the wheelmen is based largely on other codes and common customs, etc. For in stance, if the wheelmen were not' more careful and watchful than Mrs Flanagan, there would be none left now to tell ths story. The cabmen would run them down, Who over saw a cabman slacken up or de- viate an inch from his course to give a wheelman a chance ? The wheolincn of Montreal have to watch for their lives when they aro out wheeling, and its tco much to expect of them to take any great interest in anybody else’s life. Tho ‘Gazette’ is not the only one that has at- tacked the wheelmen and their code, but there is generally more unadulterated prejudico in tlie attacks, than there is of unslacked sense. As the matter stands here in Montreal, wheelmen have to pay Ç1.00 for license and about Ç5.00 for lamp and bell before being allowed to ride at all, and then when they meet a wheeled vehicle and turn to tlio right, as is custom in all civilized c-ountries, they must be pre- pared to run up a tree to escape being run over, for the drivers of vehicles give them the same latitude as they give worms and no more. Jas D McLennan and W G Munro at- tended the events in Alexandria on Domi- nion Day. Mr McLennan remaining over to visit Laggan and Ottawa ere returning. Also Dan John McDonald visited Alexan- dria friends and D R McDonald, North Lancaster. On Tuesday morning, the 5th inst, at St Andrew’s church, in St Andrews, Out, a happy event took place, in which Alex D McDonell, of this city, and Miss Beatrice Catherine Wood, of St Andrews, were wed by tho Rev Father McDonald. John Gillies, of Montreal, doing the duties of bestman in a faultless manner, and Miss May^Wood, likewise, performing the pleas- ing functions of bridesmaid with becoming grace. The bride was attired in white silk trimmed with tulle lace and carried a boquet of white roses, the gift of tho groom, the bridesmaid wearing pink muslin trim- med witli lace and ribbon of matching hues and carried a cluster of pink roses present- ed by tho groom. It was an ideal morning and as the happy party left tho church the splendid rays of the sun cast their glorious light upon a lovely scone in which the marked beauty of the bride, tho immacu- late raiment she wore and the pretty bunch of roses she held were combined in charm- ing harmony. A number of tho neighbors and friends being present, the entire p.arty proceeded in a gladsome spirit to the resi- dence of Rodger Wood, Esq, father of the bride, where all the luxious food fashion- able on such occasions was arrayed before them. With music and dance tho day was passed and the young couple took the even- ing train at Cornwall for Niagara Falls, where they will pass a portion ef the honey moon. We heartily wish the happy pair a munificent measure of real good luck. LATJCASTER The steamer “Chaffey” ran an- excursion to Cornwall on Sunday. There was a large number patronized the outing.

To the Editor of the Kews DEAR SIR,—When leaving Alexandria I promised to write to your paper and I now hasten to fulfil same. W^o have fine weather out here at present, but during tho month of June there was a considerable rainfall. Tho fourth of July has come and gone and will be remembered for many advy. Early in the morning the sound of cannon could be heard for a great dis- tance and by six o’clock the crowds were coming into town. As there was nothing of importance going on in Mellen ou that day, the majority of them took the train for Ashland while a number went to Hur- ley, at both of which points Scottish games were held. They returned In the evening all well pleased with the day’s sport. In the ovouing tliere was a grand display of fireworks heie followed by a grand ball in the town’ hall. At nine o’clock the young m.cn and maillons of Mellen, could be seen wending th- ir way towards the hall and in a short time about seventy or ighty couples including many from tho good old county of Glengarry were present. The music was furnished by the Mellen String Band and the floor was ably manag- ed by Dan Dewar, formerly of Vankleok Hill. Dancing was kept up until three o’clock in the morniog when all departed for their homes. Among the Glengarrians who attended were John Weir, 3rd Lochiel; Sandy McDonell, I4th Lochiel ; D. A. Mc- Donald, Sandy Kennedy and Willie Ken- nedy, the latter leaving for Alexandria on the following morning. The NEWS reaches here every Sunday and is welcomed by all Glengarrians. There are quite a number hero from the Glen, among them are Sandy and Mrs. McDonell, John and BIrs. Weir, John J. and Mrs. McDonell, 6th Kenyon ; Hugh D. McGillis, Alexandria ; Duncan Cameron, 6th Kenyon ; Duncan A. BIcDonald, John P. BIcDonald and the writer. I will now close by wishing tho NEWS every success. SANDY KKX.VEDY, Mellen, Wis. Formerly 3rd Kenyon. be able to understand the real state of feel- i ing in these two churches. Rev J S Barnet laid on the table a call ^rom Summerstown in favor of Rev John Matheson, which was signed by 43 memb- ers and 42 adherents. The call was sus- tained and ordered to be sent to Mr. ^athe- son. Col. D. Torrance Fraser, of Mont- real, addressed tho conrt on behalf of the Synod’s Sabbath School Committee. Ho poiiitid out Ihe great need of thorough visitation of all our Sunday Schools by interchange throughout the boundsof Pres- bytery. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Fraser for his earnest words. Rev. A. Givao spoke on the urgent need for a more liberal support of Home Missiens. It is expseted that in’every pulpit a public statement will be mads on behalf of Home Blission and Augmentation, and that our Y.P.S.C.E’s, will give more liberally than heretofore. PresSytery agreed to examine for license Blr A D MeInfyre, at Williams- towji on the 28th inst, at 10 a.m. A peti tion was received from some members of Kenyon congregation and a committee, consisting of Revs J BIcLeod, A Givan and George Weir, was named to consider said document and report to Presbytery in September. Revs J Hastie, J Cormack and P Langill were named a committee to arrange for missionary meetings. The treasurer’s report showed n very small balance on hand, but with arrears of $S0, of which 965 was due from four con- gregations in the Presbytery. The annual report of the Presbyterian V/. F. BI. S. was road and the clerk direct- ed to acknowledge the same with thanks to the 980 ladies for their noble self denial, in giving $2,358 to missionaries daring 1897. It was agreed to hold a conference in September on “Proportionate Giving.” Tho next quarterly meeting will bo held in Lancaster on second Tuesday of September at 7.30 p.m. DAVID MACLAREN, Clerk. To the Editor of the News. Bly dear Sir : You will no doubt be surprised to receive a letter from me bearing the above date and to learn that one who served on tho NEWS’ staff, is stationed here at one of tho gov- ernmental camps being now a soldier in Uncle Sam’s army. My enthusiasm has somewhat abated since arriving here as the boys have not received the treatment they should have been meted out. In fact have very often gone to bed on an empty stomach, very rarely getting what ono calls a square meal. I think the whole blame can be laid conscientiously on the shoulders of our officers. They are men who have little experience in this kind of work and I feel sure had we been sent direct to tho field of battle the number dying from want of proper food and enough of it would have been great. I think a sharp eye on the Quarter Masters, would remedy tho evil to a certain extent. I suppose I should have told you before this what regiment I belonged to. I will do so now : I am a member of Company C. Ninth Regiment New York .Volunteers. I do not know how long we will remain here. We expected our stay would be very short, but our regiment, npfc being fully equipped for a campaign,it has tended to keep us from getting a whack at the Spaniards.There are several Canadians amongst us and all seem as anxious as your humble servant to go to the front. I have been greatly disappoint- ed in my opinions formed of the south. They seemed to have been too rosy as I have not seen anything in any shape or form that called forth any outbursts of enthusiasm or that I could wed myself to. So far as 1 have seen of it on my way here and during my stay I draw the conclusion that Kloudikes do' not abound in great numbers or is there any money to burn. Our camp is, I might say, away from all civilization, and if our stay is of long duration we might easily become savages. When we arrived here water was very hard to bo had, having to walk a couple of miles for a drink. For a bath we had also to walk a couple of miles but I am glad to say this did not deter the boys from taking an emersion. Tliere is absolutely little to speak about here outside of tho monuments erected over tho dead heroes of ’60. Hoping to hear from yon,I remain, yours sincerely, J.'Cl,ARKE, Co.C. 9th Begt., N.Y.Vol. Chickamangua Park, Georgia. PRESBYTERY OF GLENGARRY.

MONTREAL

In the old days, the first headline in a* school copy book was, “Astronomy is an important study.” This should now bo en- larged to read thus, “Astronomy is alright; but bicycling is more important.” This is a very mild joke,, but the weather is so warm that even jokes have to ba tem- pered. Speaking about bicycles, however, reminds us of an article w’e noticed in the ‘Gazette’ Saturday, morningj referring to an accident to one, Mrs Flanagan, on St James St, a bicyclist having carelessly dis- turbed her equilibrium, causing her to sit down on the street rather more precopitate- ly than is fashionable. The ‘Gazette’ bew.'iils the lack 'of police antagonism to- wards wheelmen, and the helplessness of pedestrians at their hands or wheel, qtc., etc. Now, if this article had appeared in the ‘Gazette’ a day earlier, it would have been worth ten times as mnch,which would not be such a much even then, but coming after the catastrophe gives it an old fahion- ed flavor like that of the orthodo.x tale about some man locking his stable after the horses were stolen. What’s the use in lamenting the lack of police protection after Mrs Flanagan was hurt. But taking the case on its merits :—‘'The bicyclist turned sharply at the corner, throwing Mrs Flanagan down, and only glanced backward to see the effect, which is strictly in accord with the code of ethics observed by wheel- men,*' and why nbt. The code of ethics of the wheelmen is based largely on other codes and common customs, etc. For in stance, if the wheelmen were not' more careful and watchful than Mrs Flanagan, there would be none left now to tell ths story. The cabmen would run them down, Who over saw a cabman slacken up or de- viate an inch from his course to give a wheelman a chance ? The wheolincn of Montreal have to watch for their lives

when they aro out wheeling, and its tco much to expect of them to take any great interest in anybody else’s life. Tho ‘Gazette’ is not the only one that has at- tacked the wheelmen and their code, but there is generally more unadulterated prejudico in tlie attacks, than there is of unslacked sense. As the matter stands here in Montreal, wheelmen have to pay Ç1.00 for license and about Ç5.00 for lamp and bell before being allowed to ride at all, and then when they meet a wheeled vehicle and turn to tlio right, as is custom in all civilized c-ountries, they must be pre- pared to run up a tree to escape being run over, for the drivers of vehicles give them the same latitude as they give worms and no more.

Jas D McLennan and W G Munro at- tended the events in Alexandria on Domi- nion Day. Mr McLennan remaining over to visit Laggan and Ottawa ere returning. Also Dan John McDonald visited Alexan- dria friends and D R McDonald, North Lancaster.

On Tuesday morning, the 5th inst, at St Andrew’s church, in St Andrews, Out, a happy event took place, in which Alex D McDonell, of this city, and Miss Beatrice Catherine Wood, of St Andrews, were wed by tho Rev Father McDonald. John Gillies, of Montreal, doing the duties of bestman in a faultless manner, and Miss May^Wood, likewise, performing the pleas- ing functions of bridesmaid with becoming grace. The bride was attired in white silk trimmed with tulle lace and carried a boquet of white roses, the gift of tho groom, the bridesmaid wearing pink muslin trim- med witli lace and ribbon of matching hues and carried a cluster of pink roses present- ed by tho groom. It was an ideal morning and as the happy party left tho church the splendid rays of the sun cast their glorious light upon a lovely scone in which the marked beauty of the bride, tho immacu- late raiment she wore and the pretty bunch of roses she held were combined in charm- ing harmony. A number of tho neighbors and friends being present, the entire p.arty proceeded in a gladsome spirit to the resi- dence of Rodger Wood, Esq, father of the bride, where all the luxious food fashion- able on such occasions was arrayed before them. With music and dance tho day was passed and the young couple took the even- ing train at Cornwall for Niagara Falls, where they will pass a portion ef the honey moon. We heartily wish the happy pair a munificent measure of real good luck.

GLENCARRIANS ABROAD.

To the Editor of the Kews DEAR SIR,—When leaving Alexandria I

promised to write to your paper and I now hasten to fulfil same. W^o have fine weather out here at present, but during tho month of June there was a considerable rainfall. Tho fourth of July has come and gone and will be remembered for many advy. Early in the morning the sound of cannon could be heard for a great dis- tance and by six o’clock the crowds were coming into town. As there was nothing of importance going on in Mellen ou that day, the majority of them took the train for Ashland while a number went to Hur- ley, at both of which points Scottish games were held. They returned In the evening all well pleased with the day’s sport.

In the ovouing tliere was a grand display of fireworks heie followed by a grand ball in the town’ hall. At nine o’clock the young m.cn and maillons of Mellen, could be seen wending th- ir way towards the hall and in a short time about seventy or ighty couples including many from tho

good old county of Glengarry were present. The music was furnished by the Mellen String Band and the floor was ably manag- ed by Dan Dewar, formerly of Vankleok Hill. Dancing was kept up until three o’clock in the morniog when all departed for their homes. Among the Glengarrians who attended were John Weir, 3rd Lochiel; Sandy McDonell, I4th Lochiel ; D. A. Mc- Donald, Sandy Kennedy and Willie Ken- nedy, the latter leaving for Alexandria on the following morning.

The NEWS reaches here every Sunday and is welcomed by all Glengarrians. There are quite a number hero from the Glen, among them are Sandy and Mrs. McDonell, John and BIrs. Weir, John J. and Mrs. McDonell, 6th Kenyon ; Hugh D. McGillis, Alexandria ; Duncan Cameron, 6th Kenyon ; Duncan A. BIcDonald, John P. BIcDonald and the writer. I will now close by wishing tho NEWS every success.

SANDY KKX.VEDY,

Mellen, Wis. Formerly 3rd Kenyon.

be able to understand the real state of feel- i ing in these two churches.

Rev J S Barnet laid on the table a call ^rom Summerstown in favor of Rev John Matheson, which was signed by 43 memb- ers and 42 adherents. The call was sus- tained and ordered to be sent to Mr. ^athe- son. Col. D. Torrance Fraser, of Mont- real, addressed tho conrt on behalf of the Synod’s Sabbath School Committee. Ho poiiitid out Ihe great need of thorough visitation of all our Sunday Schools by interchange throughout the boundsof Pres- bytery. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Fraser for his earnest words. Rev. A. Givao spoke on the urgent need for a more liberal support of Home Missiens. It is expseted that in’every pulpit a public statement will be mads on behalf of Home Blission and Augmentation, and that our Y.P.S.C.E’s, will give more liberally than heretofore. PresSytery agreed to examine for license Blr A D MeInfyre, at Williams- towji on the 28th inst, at 10 a.m. A peti tion was received from some members of Kenyon congregation and a committee, consisting of Revs J BIcLeod, A Givan and George Weir, was named to consider said document and report to Presbytery in September. Revs J Hastie, J Cormack and P Langill were named a committee to arrange for missionary meetings.

The treasurer’s report showed n very small balance on hand, but with arrears of $S0, of which 965 was due from four con- gregations in the Presbytery.

The annual report of the Presbyterian V/. F. BI. S. was road and the clerk direct- ed to acknowledge the same with thanks to the 980 ladies for their noble self denial, in giving $2,358 to missionaries daring 1897. It was agreed to hold a conference in September on “Proportionate Giving.” Tho next quarterly meeting will bo held in Lancaster on second Tuesday of September at 7.30 p.m.

DAVID MACLAREN,

Clerk.

To the Editor of the News. Bly dear Sir : You will no doubt be surprised to receive

a letter from me bearing the above date and to learn that one who served on tho NEWS’

staff, is stationed here at one of tho gov- ernmental camps being now a soldier in Uncle Sam’s army. My enthusiasm has somewhat abated since arriving here as the boys have not received the treatment they should have been meted out. In fact WÜ have very often gone to bed on an empty stomach, very rarely getting what ono calls a square meal. I think the whole blame can be laid conscientiously on the shoulders of our officers. They are men who have little experience in this kind of work and I feel sure had we been sent direct to tho field of battle the number dying from want of proper food and enough of it would have been great. I think a sharp eye on the Quarter Masters, would remedy tho evil to a certain extent. I suppose I should have told you before this what regiment I belonged to. I will do so now : I am a member of Company C. Ninth Regiment New York .Volunteers. I do not know how long we will remain here. We expected our stay would be very short, but our regiment, npfc being fully equipped for a campaign,it has tended to keep us from getting a whack at the Spaniards.There are several Canadians amongst us and all seem as anxious as your humble servant to go to the front. I have been greatly disappoint- ed in my opinions formed of the south. They seemed to have been too rosy as I have not seen anything in any shape or form that called forth any outbursts of enthusiasm or that I could wed myself to. So far as 1 have seen of it on my way here and during my stay I draw the conclusion that Kloudikes do' not abound in great numbers or is there any money to burn. Our camp is, I might say, away from all civilization, and if our stay is of long duration we might easily become savages. When we arrived here water was very hard to bo had, having to walk a couple of miles for a drink. For a bath we had also to walk a couple of miles but I am glad to say this did not deter the boys from taking an emersion. Tliere is absolutely little to speak about here outside of tho monuments erected over tho dead heroes of ’60.

Hoping to hear from yon,I remain, yours sincerely,

J.'Cl,ARKE,

A. G. F. MACDONALD, EDITOR.

“HSad the Tory senate been alive to this ooantry’s interests we might by this time have an all Canadian route to the Yukon well under way, without the expenditure of a single dollar of money.

That snrplus of $1,090,000 will be a thorn in the flesh for those Tories,who,from party feelings, wonld always rather seo their opponents ruin the country. The Liberal Government will, however, go on dis* appanting them and pleasing the country.

The dates for the provincial election peti- tioo trials in Ontario have been fixed. The protest against the return of Mr. Mc- Laughlin in Stormont will be tried at Cornwall on Friday, September 23rd. That in Glengarry as well as in many more constituencies have been dropped.

The national expenditures under a Liberal regime have been increased because the country’s needs demanded it. It would have been a pennywise pound foolish policy not to have done so. The country is however, to-day feeling the benefits of the wisdom of Liberal government and a sur- plus of $1,000,000 for the year just closed despite increased expenditure is a very satisfactory condition of the nation’s affairs.

Everybody feels that the war should

Lnow end. There has been enough expendi- ture of money and enough destruction of life and property and it is probable that

i both Americans and Spanish have had all

^they want of it. Spain’s burdens, already , ïar too heavy, will now be much heavier.

. It is to be hoped that peace will be quickly

and satisfactorily brought about and that it may be many long years before two great nations again get into an entangle-

ment.

tpressive nsory has come to m-r ^^|httu-’0^^a East, which is about as

as «iaS well be imagined in these itive laws and advanced civili-

an, finding it necessary to

^ed dollars in cash, applied to .nd was accommodated. An

' teen percent. The mortgage is to be li-

• quidated by 1908, and the interest has to be paid monthly. Should he miss a payment a fine of fifty cents a month is imposed.

~ An analysis of tho agreoment show s that [Oan paÿie for tho five hundred dollars tfuiB' one thousand one hundred

; or altogether two thousand and sixty dollars. The

m a feliow man, should not be permit- to live outside a dungeon.

The cowardly, brutal and utterly selfish conduct of the crew of the “Bourgogne,” the French ship which sank last week after colliding with the Cromartyshire in a fog off Sable Island, is not failing to

I bring down the grealtest condemnation on the line in whoso service they were em- ployed. The circumstances of the case are

too horrible for repetition, but the murder- ous conduct of the crew will doubtless bo in- vestigated by the French courts. It is a

terrible stain on French honor that such conduct should be exhibited and it is be- lieved to be just as certain that British sailors similarly situated would have died to a man, rather than save themselves at the expense of the passengers. France, in the past, has justly prided herself on the chivalry and bravery of her sons and by making an example of those who have shown themselves cowards, she may again prove herself to possess sons whose fearless- ness and bravery will make her the admiration of the world.

Everything at present indicates a period of commercial expansion that must- add greatly to the wealth of this country. The prosperity is not local but is noticeable

from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Every- body is confident of the future and there is

not the slightest doubt that their confi- dence is well founded. The number of failures for the six months ending June 30th is considerably smaller than for the

same period of last year while the assets and liabilities in connection with these

faildrea show a corresponding improve- tuant. Tlw following is the record of tho

number b{ failures in each province for both years :

1,074 Totals, Canada Even Conservative newspapers have to

admit the return of the wave of prosperity. Two short years ago these same papers could torsee nothing but commercial

utsaster for this country owing to the accession to power of a Liberal government. The members of tho latter have however 00 every occasion shown themselves to be bqaal to any emergency and have missed ;iio opportunity of doing the right thing for the country at every tnru.

The report of tbe Commissioner of A^c^nr^ and Dairying for 1807 has just

issued. To say tbe least it is one of the most valuable and oomplcto reports ^er issued by the Dominion Department

>Uun>. As promised tk mouth or immense amount

interesting information

regarding tho many lines of work which haw come under Professor Robertson’s

charge sioce he assumed his present duties. These include among other things : A summary of the dairying service in the provinces ; the Dominion dairy stations ;

the winter dairying movement ; cold stor- age ; visits to Great Britain and Ireland ; trial shipments of fruit ; eggs and poultry ; the production of pDrk ; dairy legislation ; registration numbers of cheese factories

and creameries ; report of the Assistant Dairy Commissioner ; reports of agents in Great Britain ; and dairy bacteriology.

The portion of the report of most vital importance to tho farmers just now is that referring to tho cold-storage shipments of fruit, eggs and poultry and the production of pork. Reliable and specific information, with suitable illustrations, isglven on these topics, which should be read by every dairyman, fruit-grower, pouUryman and swine-breodor in the country. This infor- mation bears more directly upon the methods to be adopted and the practices to be followed in developing our export trade in butter, fruits, eggs, poultry and bacon. Every one realizes tho importance of definite information along these lines, and, therefore, the commissioners report is timely and to the point. We shall, for tho benefit of our readers, givo suitable selec- tions from this and other reports as the occasion demands.—Farming.

MACDONALD AND TUPPED.

According to a despatch to the Toronto ‘Globe’ from Kingston, Mr. Hugh John Macdonald, is not fully iu accord with the “policy” of Sir Charles Tapper, but does not go into particulars.

Policy is a wide word, and if Hugh John Macdonald does not go into particulars it is somewhat risky to do it for him, but truth to tell the Conservatives are hardly likely to get into power except under a leader who differs materially in bis ideas from Sir Charles.

Sir Charles Tapper re-awakened the dis- trust which used to be felt for him of old by some Couservatives, and alienated many of the new Conservatives who did not know him of old, by bis course after his defeat at the polls in 1896. His move then to jam a large number of Conservatives into public offices, followed by persistent attacks on the Governor-General for partially foiling him, could not but repel all who believe that in our system of representative government the loader who is turned down by the people at the polls should shut up and get out right there and then, letting public offices alone. The ruler who makes excuses for attempting to keep on running the show for a month after being notified that the people have had enough of his style, would make excuses to keep on for a year or a life-time if he dared, or thought ho could find reck- less enough partisans to back him. And that is much the kind of thing healthy- minded Englishmen have been bucking against since Magna Cbarta.

Nor does a great political party seem to be in just tho right place behind a leader who would make tho attack Sir Charles Tapper recently did upon General Gas- coigne. Even had General Gascoigne not happened to have been previously one of a committee whose findings resulted in the retirement of Sir Charles Tapper’s son-in- law, General Cameron, from the post of commandant of the Royal Military College, the attack of Sir Charles was in most questionable taste. It was mado in parlia- ment, where Gascoigne could not answer, except circuitously ; it was made in terms hardly befitting the dignity of a statesman and it was made in a way to encourage every militia officer with à swelled head to run tilt insolently against any general com- .oanding who may attempt to prevent him wrecking a fine volunteer corps.

Perhaps such matters may come under the heading of the “policy”^egarding parts of which Hugh John Macdonald is doubt- ful ; perhaps they may not. They consti- tute objections with many other people we ara sure to Sir Charles Tapper as possibly again a premier.—Ottawa ‘Journal’ (Con.).

A MILLION DOLLARS OF SURPLUS.

There is something very agreeable in the report of the year’s financial operations of tho Dominion, which we printed on Satur- day. After paying all the charges upon it, including the sums set aside for pushing on to completion the canal improvements in a business-like manner, extending the Inter- colonial to Montreal, and paying the sub- sidies for the construction of the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway, there is in the treasury a surplus cf a million dollars.

Whatever other effect this announcement may have, it ought at least to dispel the idea adhered to by some Conservatives as part of their political creed that the coun- try would go to ruin just as soon as the Liberals acquired office. Who is there that has not been made familiar with this de- lightful piece of political egotism ? If re- iteration counted for anything every Liber- al would long ago have made up his mind that tho Conservatives were all that Sir Charles Tapper could claim for them, the only lit and proper persona to be entrusted with the government of the country. And yet in their second year of office, after burdening tiiemselves with new expendi- tures and reducing the customs’ duties by a horizontal cut, the Liberal Govern- ment have actually come out a million dollars ahead. They have lowered the tariff, they have ' given a preference to Great Britain, which has been shared in up to the present by nearly all other nations, they have added a hundred articles required by the farmers to the free list, and it has all resulted in an increase of more than two millions in the Customs receipts. They have applied business methods to the various departments—the Post Office, for example—and the result has been increased receipts and diminished expenditures. We await with interest a demonstration from some Conservative source that none of these things are good for the people and that a surplus in the revenues has some desperate significance. We all remember how cleverly the Conser- vative press condemned the preferential trade policy, holding Sir Wilfrid Laurier up as a monster of political iuiquity because be did not give Canada a preference iu the British market aa well as giving Great Britain a prefereuce in the Canadian market. After the way some of our Con- servative friends accepted that lino of argument we shall not be surprised if the surplus is denounced as the most objection- able episode in the history of the country. Certaiuly it is not easy to see how Mr. Foster, who prophesied a daficit of at least four million, can bo expooted to tolerate in any kindly spirit the unwoloome appear- ance of this million dollar surplus. He

ought to bo warned, however, that having at long last got a surplus, the Canadiin people will not bo cheated out of it, and if ho should resolve to explain it aw’ay, a task he is quite capable of essaying, it will be a difficult job.

It ought not to bo overlooked in con- nection with the financial returns that of the $3,022,304 by which the revenues have increased, only $821,787, or a little more than a third, was derived from taxation in its two forms of customs and excise. The rest was derived from post office, rail- ways and other sources. The fact that $1,200,517 was received from these sources in excess of last year, while the amount spent upon maintaining all the depart- ments of Government was reduced by $240,- 500, makes it pretty clear that the Laurier Administration is made up of men who know how to manage the country’s affairs on a business basis, and that is the kind of government the country has stood in need of for many years.

Here is confirmation of the argument that has bean rcdiculed by the Conserva- tive press. The Government has been criticised on the score of not reducing the national expenditure, and papers which have not looked below the surface have read the Liberal ministers homilies opon broken pledges. The reply to these criti- cisms has been that the Government has reduced the expenditure on the non - pro ductive expenditures and that the in- creases have been upon such services and public works, like tho Intercolonial Rail- way, as improve our national assets or return a direct revenue into the treasury to offset the expenditure upon them. In other words the Government, it has been pointed ont, has spent considerable sums of money as a merchant or manafacturer would who wished to enlarge his stock or improve bis plant and machinery. In considering the wisdom of such expendi- tures it is necessary to ask whether Ihey have brought returns. In the case of the Government the question receives its reply in Saturday’s figures. Although these im- provements had not yet taken full effect, there was • during the year just closed, im- provement in the revenues from sources other than taxation of more than a million dollars. This goes a long way towards justifying the increase in the Government’s expenditures. The full justification must be waited for until the full effect of the Government’s policy can be seen. To con- demn the increases after an examination of one column of figures is a gross unfair- ness, as the figures of the past year, we submit, conclusively prove. Some critics of the Government, there can be no doubt, have no desire to be fair, but we do not believe that this is true of Independent Liberal papers like the Huntingdon Glean- er.—Montreal Herald.

ANAEMIA, OR BLOODLESSNESS.

It« Victims are Pale in Color, Subject to

Dizziness, Palpitation of the Heart and

Other Distressing Symptoms.

From the Echo, Platteville, Ont. Anaemia, which literally means blood-

lossness, is prevalent to an alarming ex- tent among young girls and yoûng women of the present day, and is a fruitful source of "decline” and consumption. The symp- tomifc;^ this trouble are many, but among the roost noticeable are pallor of the face, lips r^tid gums, shortness of breath on

exertion, dizziness, severe head- acnes, weakness of the vita! organs, pal- pitation of the heart, and dropsical swell- ing of the limbs. The more of these symp- toms shown, the greater the necessity for prompt treatment. Among those who have suffered from anaemia and found a cure is Miss Webb, a young lady residing near Wolverton, Ont. Miss Webb says : —My riness first came on when I was about sixteen years of age. My complexion was a pale waxy color; I was troubled with gene'^al weakness, dizziness and palpitation of the heart. I was placed under medical treatment, but the medicine prescribed by the doctor did not appear to do me the slightest good. As time went by I was slowly but surely growing worse. I was unable to do any work about the house,and my limbs would tremble to such an extent at the slightest exertion that I could scar- cely stand ^upon my feet. Then my stomach became so weak that I vomited almost everything I ate ; 1 grew despond- ent and feared I would not recover. Wliile in this condition a friend urged mo to try Dr. Williams* Pink Pills, and I followed the advice. After I had used two boxes I noticed an improvement and my heart was gladdened with the hope of renewed health. At the end of six boxes my appe- tite bad fully returned, and with it strength, color to my checks, and bright- ness to the eyes. I still continued taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills until I had taken in all twelve boxes, and I cau truthfully assert that I am healthier and strongdi: than I ever was before. 1 owe this to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and I would urge all girls who suffer as I did to give them a fair

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have done more to make strong, healthy, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed girls than any other medicine ever discovered, and mothers should insist upon their daughters taking an occasional course of this medicine. Sold only in boxes, the wrapper around which bears the full name, "Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” Offered in any other form the pills are substitutes intended to deceive.

THE OLD WOMAN WHOO WNED A BAG OF HAZEL NUTS AND THE

CRIPPLED TAILOR WHO AT- TACHED SPLINTS OF WOOD TO THE PALMS OP HIS HANDS AND KNEES WHEN TRAVELLING ON ALL FOURS

Many years a^ there lived in one of the Uighland glens a large wild looking old woman who bad the name of being a first class witoh, and of being in full communi- cation with the d&rk spirits of the world hsyond. Among the other powers possess- ed by the old woman was that of being very fund of hazel nnts. She had a bag full of nuts hanging from a peg near the tire every day in the year, from ‘ this habit she was known as "the hazel-bag old woman.” If a horse foil over a precipice or a cow "got back ” on her milk or a maiden who lost her sweetheart, every one believed those misfortunes were brought about by the old woman. Any old man who went fishing and was not successful that day, if she had met him previously she was blamed for his bad luck. At long

the old woman took very ill and from A^every appearance was believed to be dying.

So shs gave a strict injunction to her ^ Iriqndg that if she died they were to bury

the bag of nnts at her head. it was thus it happened, her friends

feared her while living and they were not certain of her when dead, and according to her commands the bag of nuts was buried at her head. There was a clever young lad living in the place who placed little credence in the imaginary powers of the old woman, and he said to himself a night of the nights, that it was too bad to let the nuts spoil at the head of the old woman. When the family retired my lad procured a shovel which he placed on Ûs shoulder and left to raise the nuts. When he came near

the graveyard he met a bad man living in the place who had the reputation of being a clever sheep stealer—they came so close to one another in the dark that it was impossible for either one to conceal himself. "Hallo I” said the sheep stealer "where in the name of goodness are you going at this time of the night with your shovel ?” "Wherever I am going ” answered the nut- digger, "I know full well where you are going. You are going to steal a wether.” And since we met and neither of us on a very good errand I will tell you where I arn going, I am going to dig up the old woman’s bag of hazel nuts, and if you gave me half of the weather which you steal, I will give you half of the nuts. “There will be nothing more wanted” said the sheep- stealer, "you will get that.” "Go then ” said the nutdigger "and try and get a good wether, I will sit in the graveyard cracking nuts till you come back.” Wo will now leave the sheep stealer and the nut digger attending to their respective affairs and we' will for a little take a look at the hand and knee shod tailor. He was a cripple without strength in his feet. He had small wooden splints fastened to the palms of his hands and two knees, and thus would travel on all fours from liiouse to house iu which he was employed in tailoring. And as was usually with tailors, in being good narra- tors of old stories, there was not between the two ends of the country the equal of the hand and knee shod tailor in that line.

ICiiife<l by Frantic I’.-taBenger?».

Halifax, N.S., July 7.—After xU vivid description of tho appalling wreck, Mr. Pierre Larlviere of New York, who lost- wife nnd three sons, says: "I started for tho companionway to warn my sous, blit too late. Tho passengers came pouring UD from below in their night attire. Tho sight was one of the most horrible I have ever seen. Before 60 people had got through the opening it was blocked by a mass of shrieking women and shouting men, tearing each other In desperation. I saw women who woro near the top stair seized by men and . dashed bad: among tho struggling trowd below. The women . had uo chance given thum at all. It was a fight by men for life and tho strongest took every advantage of his .strength.

“The steerage passengers wore in tho same plight. Their stairway was blocked by struggling men, women and children, few of whom except tho first to start and the very strongest were able to reach tho dock. Not more than 500 people succoedod in reaching the dcok. The rest were all penned up below and mot with a horrible death.”

A FieiidiiiU Scene.

Matteo Zurich, an Austrian, gave a most graphic sketch of the disaster. Ho was on dock when It occurred. Part of his story is almost incredible. Ho says: “On board woro a largo number of Ital- ians and other foreigners. These fiends stopped at nothing. In the boat was a party of forty women, but so great was the paulo that not a hand was raised to assist in her launching. Tho ocoupanls, so near saved, were drowned like rats when tho ship, with an awful hls.sing hOund, wont down.

“So desperate wa=? the situation that an Italian passenger drew his knife and made direct at one ivho, like himself, was endeavoring to reach tho boats. Im mediately the acMon was imitated in every dlroption. Knives were fionrlshod and used With offoo:-. Women and chil- dren were driven back to Inevitable death at tho point of weapons, the owners of which were oxpert.s in their use. Accord- ing to stories of survivors, women were stabbed like so many sheep.

“Not all of tho dead met death by drowning. Christopher Brunon saw a sailor belonging to tho La Bonrgogno strike a passenger and kill him.”

Saw Father and Mother Killed.

John Burge and August Burge saw their mother and father killed. John Burge and his father got on a raft. The French sailors throw them into the water. They swam Lack, climbed on again, and again were thrown off. The older Burge, sunk, ^vo times John Burge was thrown fronytfhis raft, and then ho swam to another that chanced to come along and was taken on it.

“My mother had hold of a life line on a boat’s side,” said John Burge. “I saw a sailor draw his knife and cut the ropo, and my mother and four or five other women fell backward into tho water and were drowned.”

“The man who murdered my mother was saved,” said Burge. “I don’t know his name, but I’ll know him when I sje him. Then lot him take care of himself!”

660 Ferions DFOAX-UPCI.

New York, July 7.—According to the best information obtainable, tho I^a Bourgogne had 165 persons saved, of whom 106 wore officers, sailors, firemen, waiters and other ship’s people, while 69 passengers escaped.

St. Catharines, July 9.—One of the passengers on the wrecked steamer La Bourgogne was Mr. T. A. Wright of St. Catharines. Mr. Wright is among those lost. He was formerly In tho employ of Messrs.

DUCE SANTIAGO.

mander—Both Fleet and Land B.-ittcries

Firing on the Doomed City.

Washington, July 10.—The bombard- ment of Santiago by tho big guns of Admiral Sampson’s fleet and tho siege mortars and field batteries of the Fifth Army Corps began this evening, ; in accordance with Gen. Shafter’s ultima- tum to the commander of the Spanish forces defending the ‘ city, that unless Santiago was surrendered without condi- tions the place would bo attacked by land and sea. At 6 o’clock a despatch came to tho War Department from Gen. Shaftor saying that tho bombardment would begin about 4 o’clock this after- noon, and a few hours later another message informed the department that tho attack had begun. Gen. Shaftor’s notification that ho would renew the assault on tho town and Its defences followea the receipt of a communication from Gen. -Toral, commanding tho Spanish forces, declining to surrender without terms. Yesterday Gen. Shaftor in demanding tho unconditional sur- render of Santiago had informed Gon. Toral that unless tho demand was com- plied with by to-day the American fleet and siege batteries would shell the place. That this threat has been carried out was shown in messages received this evening by the War Department, tho first of which' was as follows:

Siboney, via Hayti, 6.65 p.m., July 10. — Adjutant-General, Washington, Headquarters Fifth Army Corps, July 10.—I have just received letter from General Toral, declining unconditional surrender. Bombardment by army and navy will begin as near 4 p.m. to-dav ns possible. Shaftor, Major-General.

The Enemy Opened Fire.

Washington, July 11.—Shortly after midnight the department gave out tho following despatch from General Shaftor: “Plnya del Este< July 10, Adjt.-Qen,,

Washington: “Headquarters, Fifth Corps. July 10.

—Enemy opened fire a few minutes past 4 with light guns, which wore soon silenced by ours. Very little musketry firing and tho enemy kept entirely in their entrenchments.' Three men slightly wounded. Will have considerable lorecs to-morrow, enough to completely block all the roads on tho northwest. I am quite well. (Signed) Shaftor.”

Spaniards Intend to Die Hard.

Siboney, July 11.—Refugees from Santiago report Spanish soldiers busy .digging trenches and erecting barricades in the streets, and piercing houses with loopholes, indicating an Intention to die hard, and make a house to house and street to street fight. The fighting will be long and desperate, unless Sampson can got into the harbor, as it is not believed his guns will be effective J-C rbe long range from off Aguidores. Reconnals- ances show tho Spaniards to be excep- tionally well positioned, ‘.hough the reports are that they are disheartened and half-famished.

DECEASED WIFE’S SISTEB BILL.

House of Lords Has Pas.sed the Second Beading of the Measure.

London, July 9.—Tho House of Lords yesterday, by a vote of 129 to 46. passed the second reading of the bill of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal (better known as Sir Donald Smith, the former High Commissioner of Canada), making marriage with a deceased wife’s sister lawfully contracted In the colonies, valid in tho United Kingdom. Thelea ling fea- ture of tho bill is that it allows tho chil- dren of those domiciled in the colonies where such marriages are lawful, to suc- ceed to real property in the United King-

Lord Strathcona said tho bill was in- troduced at the express desire of the Gov- ernment of Canada, and he added that nearly every colony joined in tho request. The Lord Chancellor, Baron Herschall, opposed tho bill.

Tho minority included tho Marquis of Salisbury, tho Duke of Norfolk, Viscount Cross and other members of the Govern- ment, tho Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York and the Bishop, while the majority included the Prince of Wales, the Duko of Fife, tho Duke of Westminster, the Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Kimberly and the Marquis of Lansdowne and all tho Liberal peers.

An Unwelcome Visitor.

Rockton, July 8.—Amid the tamarack regions of Beverly township those trees have been attacked by an insect believed to be the tamarack fly, the same insect that has devastated tho Province of Que- bec and all through tho east. The trees present the appoarance of being through a fire, and lumbermen are anxious to havo the pest destroyed.

Halifax Boy Killed.

Halifax, N.S., July 8.—Superintendent Robertson of the Government Experi- mental Farm in Cumberland, has received word that a younger brother of his, Lieut. Robertson, was mortally wounded in the battle of Friday last at Santiago. Mr. Robertson left immediately for his homo in Ontario to visit his mother in her hour of affliction.

Not the Bight Peg-Leg.

Montreal, July 11.—Thomas Ryan, shoemaker from Portland, with a wooden leg, was brought before tho Police Court on Saturday on suspicion of being the murderer of Constable Twohey, the Lon- don- policeman. Gn enquiries being mado, it was found that he did not answer the murderer’s description and ho was let go.

T]:ero are otlicr duties discharged by dung which may be grouped together under tho term of chemical action. Hero wo havo powers totally distinct from the former, for, while it devolves upon tho mechanical agency to render the soil adapted to be- ing traversed by the roots of the grow- ing crop tho chemical pov.crs supply that nourishment which is needed, fci tho development of tho crop. It is, therefore, in their combined action that tho most desirable results become inaui-

It is vrorthy of inquiry whether or not tho use of frc.sh dung for stiff land and rotten dung for porous land is sup- ported and confirmed by tho chemical character of dung. When fresh dung is n.scd upon stiff laud, wo find that tho decay which then takes place acts upon tho land and renders tho dormant in- gredients of tho soil active, and there- by converts matter which could not nouri.sh a plant into valuable food for vegetation. It also impart.s to tho soil a beneficial warmth which is favorable to germination and vcgotablo growth. In addition to this tho ab.sorbeut powers of the soil .seize and retain tho products of this fenneutation of tho dung and se- cure them until required by the grow- ing plant.

In tho case of a sandy soil tho cir- cumstances as well as tho powers of the soil nro totally different. Tho porous character of tho soil is decidedly unfa- vorable to its powers of retaining ma- nure, and consequently wo cannot look upon such soil as a safe guardian of manure, and for this reason tho manure should bo added so as to be immediately available for tho crop. Tho manure consequently is more suitable when well rotted upon chemical grounds as Vt'cll as upon a consideration of its me- ch.anical character. Tho same principle is applicable to all the intermediate de- scriptions of soil, says a correspondent of The Country Gentleman, whoso ideas on manuring arc expressed as above.

As regards tho loss from tho soil of that ini portant and expensive fertilizing coiLstituout, nitrogen, in drainage wa- ter f '.r ncr’.s bulletin says: The soil a;q iu's to liin'C very little affinity for the forms of this element so extensively used in fertilizers—ni;r-.'oof soda and sulphate of ammonia—I if they are not quickly taken up ly the crop they are likely to be lost in the drainage wa- ter. Moreover, the insoluble nitrogen of tlio soil (in Immus) or that applied in tho form of cottonseed meal, dried fish, etc., which are also largely insoluble when applied, is rapidly converted by the process of nitrification under* favor- able condition.s into nitrates, which are readily avaiiuule to plants, but which pass out iu the drainage and are lost if not taken up promptly by the plant.

Experiments have been reported in whicli the loss of nitrogen in tho drain- age from a bare scil in the course of a year was over 160 poxmds lier acre, wliilo the loss from a soil which was kept covere'd by a crop was almost in- significant, although fully as largo amounts of nitrates were fonned in the latter rase as in the former. This affords a striking illustration of the importance of keeping a leachy soil covered with a crop in order to prevent serious loss of the most cxpon.sive element of fertility —nitrogen. Such a practice would pro- tect the soil from both leaching and surface washing, probably tho two most serious causes of decline of fertility of soils.

Crttinir and Carlngf Hay.

In handling hay tho first thing is to get tho tools iu order before the time comes to start the mower.

Some like a five foot mower bar; oth- ers prefer a seven. Some like the side de- livery rako and follow that with tCcain and loader; others think it best to leave the grass iu the swath until ready to load.

If left in the swath, tho hay will en- dtu’o quite a shower without injury, but if mked np a rain spoils it, particularly if tho hay bo clover.

Put clover hay into tho mow green, scarcely cured at all. If packed down solid and tho doors are closed and kept closed until after tho hay pas.ses through tho sweat, there will be uo dust in tho hay.

Clover cut in tho first bloom should be fed to cows; that cut at the last of the Bca.son when tho second blossoms were nearly gone could bo fed to horses.

A hay loader will pay for itself iu two seasons ou GO acres of hay.

If it is uciGSsary to put clover hay into tho mow with any dew on it, cover it with slough h:iy or straw, saj’s The New EugUind Ilomestcud. the source of those ti;n. iy :ind pm-rineut items.

BARNYARD MANURE.

ris Twofold Action on tho Soil Under Various Conditions.

MumiTO acts on land in a twofold cburactcr. It exerts a vhysical .action on the soil r,sv;oll asacbemical agency. IJud.cr the formel* agency wo find it giv- ing .‘Jubility to light, Kundy soils and making thorn mere absorbent of iiioi.s- turc, renddring tciiaciou:3 chiy soils nioro open and friable in their uaturo, and thereby admitting tho free pussago (A tho rain and air as weii ao promoting tho docompositicu of these soils, and thereby rendering t’lcui more feriih^. For dung to act inechunically in rciidor- ing a soil more op('u r.nd in overcoming it;i tenacious character tho farmer niuct let tho iiuinure retain much of tho ri- gidity of tho straw, or, in other words, it must not be very rotten. Expericnco has proved to him that in using it for

Where only a moderato amount of hay is lo be m:\do tho grass cau bo cut just as tho bloom is beginning to fall, when it will contain tho largest amount of ciigcstiblo nuiltcr in (ho best possible condition. It cau be raked up before it is thoroughly dried, phiced in smail shocks and thus allowed to cure par- tially in tho shade. If the weather is damp and perfect drying does not result, tho shock cau bo opened during the middle of the day and again closed up at night to keep off tho dew. The hay will then retain its green color. The blades will not become brittle, thus causing a loss when handled. Thl.s is the ideal method of cutting and c^iv.ing hay. If the hay can then be placed un- der a shed or in a barn, it will como out in the best possible condition.

Tho same general methods apply to small quantities of clover, cowpeas, millet or any other forage crop, except that they must be dried out much moro thoroughly. The stems and thick leaves are very succulent and contain largo amounts of moisture. The hay may ap- pear quite dry, but if special pains is not taken to examine it carefully, there is danger of its being put into the mow or stack while it contains large amounts of moisture. Under certain conditions, no harm W’ill result from this, but if tho weeks following hay harvest should bo moist and damp, dusty and moldy hay will result. It is better, consequent- ly, to cut this hay, allow it to dry par- tially, then rake it into largo heaps and allow it to remain until thoroughly cured. If tho weather is very dry.'üke the climate in Colorado, California and other western states where alfalfa is grown largely, these piles answer very nicely. The forage is allow’ed to euro partially in the shade, which enables it to retain its color and prevents its be- coming harsh and woody. In more moist climates it is probably better to make well lorinofl cocks to xirevent injury by dew or ITght shr.-.rcrs.

I;: sla( kii-. 'l;ay. us with small grains, the c:ic i:.;p; h'aturo is to keep the Aiidalcs und solid. This isdono hv

allowing thohay'to’drbp'îroni'tlio stack- er on to tho center of tho stack and con- tinually tramping this portion. When tho stack is completed, cover it with some coaLso material if this can bo ob- tained, liko wild hay, and weight it down-. Go over tho outside of tho stack with a rako, removing all loose mliterial and pulling down tho outer layer so that water w’ill he turned off, as from a thatched roof.

In case timothy is wanted for seed, allow tho seeds to become thoroughly brown, then cut with a self binder and shock tho samo as with small grains. Sot the binder as low as possible so that all the leaves and blades will bo pre served. Allow to dry thoroughly in tho field or thrash at once. The ordinary thrashing machine can bo used for this purpose if properly adjusted. The hay from the seed timothy is not as valua- ble for feed as early cut hay because it has been allowed to stand until fully ripe, but it is of considerable value and should always bo preserved, says 8^ writ- er in Tho Now England Homestead, authority for the foregoing.

How to Prevent Grain Smnt.

W. T. Swingle of tho department of agriculture makes tho following recom- mendations in «a farmers’ bulletin :

It haa been found that stinking smut of wheat cau bo prevented by treating the seed with corrosive sublimate, one pound to 50 gallons of water. Tho seed is piled on a floor or on canvas and thor- oughly sprinkled, every grain being wetted over its entire surface. Corrosive sublimate is poisonous, and great care should be exercised in using it.

Stinking smut of wheat and covered barley smut can be prevented by soak- ing the seed 13 hours in a solution mado by dissolving one pound of commercial copper sulphate in 24 gallons of water and then immersing the seed for five minutes iu limewater.

The formalin treatment has been found very effective in preventing stink- ing smuts of wheat and oat smut. It consists in soaking the seed for two hours in a solution of one pound of formalin to 60 to 60 gallons of water. The strong formalin is poisonous, and great care should bo exercised iu its use.

The stinking smuts of wheat and oat smut can also bo prevented by treating tho seed with hot water at 132 degrees for ten minutes.

Loose smut of wheat and barley smuts can be prevented by soaking tho seed in cold water for four hours, allowing it to stand four hours more in wet sacks, and then treating for livo minutes in water At 132 degrees.

Enemies of tho Sqnasli.

The striped yellow beetles come first, and the farmer must be on the lookout for them, since often during an hour or two of a bright sunny day theso pests will ruin every plant in a hill. Land plaster, with tho addition of a little kero- sene oil, is the remedy for theso insects. Add a couple of tablespoonfuls of kero- sene to a two quart measure of the plaster, thoroughly mixing. Next comes tho black or brown bug which smells so offensively. Place seme bits of wood, as shingles, around each hill, and theso bugs will collect beneath them to pass the night and may therefore be caught and killed each morning. The third great enemy the squash has is tho cut- worm. This is an insect difficult to find until the mischief has been done. Tho best preventive measure is tho use of wood ashes and lime in the squash hills and about the vines. It is well to change the land upon which squashes, are grown about every year to in some measure escape tho many insect pests, says The New England Homestead.

While giving an exhibition at Riccville, the gas in connection with themachine exploded, and set the instrument and tent on fire, both burning and destroying it. The loss finan- cially will be heavy as no insurance was carried.

ONTARIO LEGISLATURE

As a private citizen he was every- thing that could be desired ; in his capacity of police magistrate, he at all times meted out justice in a firm bat fair manner,invar- iably showing tho kindly spirit that exist- ed in him. To Mrs. Bethune, in this her hour of trial, we extend our warmest sym pathy.

SMITH—MCDONALD

 very pleasant event oconred at the Presbyterian church, Bast Hawkesbury, on Wednesday of last week, when John M. Smith, of Rod Yard, Mich., son of Bev. Gilbert A.

The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. A. McCallum, Rory McDonald, brother of the bride, acting as groomsman, and Miss Maggie Dewar, of Ottawa, as bridesmaid. The happy couple remained at East Hawkesbury until Mon day of this week, when they left for their Michigan home carrying with them the best wishes of a large circle of friends in eluding the NEWS.

DEATH FROM BLOOD POISONING

Tho sad news has reached us of the death, from blood poisoning, on Tuesday morning of last week, of the late John Angus Mc- DermieJ, of the King’s Road, in the town- ship of Charlottenburgb. It appears that on the Tuesday previous, while handling a stick of wood, Mr. McDermid ran a sliver into his hand. Almost immediately the injured'member began to swell, till at last it was thought expedient to call in the family physician. Despite all that medical skill could do, blood poisoning set in, result- ing in his death on the above mentioned •date. The funeral, to the North Branch, took place on Sunday, and was, as we ex peoted, very largely attended. We extend our warmest sympathy to the bereaved re- latives.

EASTERN ONTARIO DENTAL ASSOCIATION

Dr. V. H. Lyon, Surgeon Dentist, of this place, left yesterday morning for Brock- ville, where he purposed attending the nineteenth anniversary meeting of the Eastern Ontario Dental Association, which opened last evening at 8 p.m., and closes this evening. A most attractive program- me of addresses and papers touching upon pertinent questions,pertaining to the dental profession, has been prepared for the occa- sion, the reading and discussion of which will no doubt bring out many valuable ideas to all concerned. Tho attendance at the meeting is expected to be large, as officers and members alike, have taken a most active interest in all the preliminaries that culminate in this meeting.

PICNIC AT CRYSLER

We understand that the Rev. D. R. Mac- donald, of Crysler, purposes holding on Wednesday, the 31st August, a mammoth picnic in aid of St. Mary’s ehureb, of which he is parish priest. The reverend gentle- man will, wo have no doubt, leave nothing undone that might tend towards the suc- cess of his venture, and given fine weather, we feel assured the attendance will be great, and the amusements offered sufficient to please the most fastidious. There will be cheap rates on all railways, and thus an opportunity that, we feel sure will be taken full advantage of, will be afforded Father Macdonald’s old parish-

oners here to join for the day with the good people who comprise the congregation of St. Mary’s church, Crysler, iu showing the good will and affection hold for that worthy painstakiug gentleman.

REMOVE, THE NUISANCE.

For several years now our ratepayers, and a great many people who reside outside the limits of the corporation of Alexandria,have put up with not merely a nusiance, but what daily proves a menace to the safety of parties who have occasion to drive over the bridge that spans our bistoric(?) river Garry on Main street. We refer to a piece of tim' ber that was placed in position iu the cen tre of the bridge*, unquestionably, to insure parties travelling north and south taking the proper side of the bridge. It may or maj not have served its purpose, but of this we are assured that this identical piece of timber has on more than one occasion very nearly been the means of sticking tha corpor- ation for a bill of costs. If the stick is re- quired for strengthening purposes let it be bolted on from underneath and tho object in view will then be attained and the tra^ veiling public relieved from what to-day IE

a decided nuisance.

A NEW COAL OIL STOVE

Rob McLennan had in his hardware store here last week the nearest approach to perfection in the line of a coal oil stovi we have yet seen. It was a new process Blue Flame stove and was manufactured by the Standard Lighting Company, of Cleveland,Ohio. It was Deautifnlly finished, and while this one bad two burners the same stove is manufactured with one, two, throe, or four burners. It is neat, compact, and convenient and a feature that commends it to its users is the fact that no smell what- ever of the burning oil can be detected. There is a detachable oven on top and while anything can be brought to boiling heat in a few moments no heat is felt in the room. Mr.McLennan is local agent for this stove and was a very short time in dis posing of the one he got in. The price is very low and a large number of the stoves will certainly be sold.

STANLEY ISLAND

Unquestionably the most popular sum' mer resort in Eastern Ontario is Stanley Island, and at no time in the history of that delightful place has this been exempli' fied as much as this year. As early as the first of June guests began arriving at the Algonquin till to day we find nearly one hundred and fifty people enjoying the p! sores to be found at that resort. The new hotel, which in every respect was consider ed up-to-date, has been further improved by the introduction of lightning by gas. Mine Host Duquette may justly feel proud of his hostelry, for it surpasses many of much larger pretentions ; the cuisine is ex- cellent, tho rooms airy and beautifully fur- nished, the staff at all times attentive and healthy amusemente of all descriptions abound. With such a combination, it is not to be wondered at, that the sea of 1898 is about to prove the banner season in the history of the Algonquin.

SMASH THE BY-LAW

On dit that a movement is on foot, the purpose of which is the repeal of tho early closing by-law. There is no law that is acted up to the very letter, aud in the case of the early closing by-law existing in this town, there is little doubt, but on more than one occasion it has been abused ; yet that is no reason why it should bo repealed in its entirety. Personally we have much sympathy for the average clerk in our mer cantile establishments and held and still hold they are, if attentive to their work deserving of some recognition at the hands of their employers, and in no way can this be better appreciated than by affording them an opportunity of enjoying a certain amount of recreation. To repeal the by-law would be to get back to the old system of grind ; to amend it say to read 8.30 or 8.45 nightly, would,we think, meet with the approbation of all concerned.

The afternoon was bright and pleasant, just such a one as might be hoped for at such a time. Only a few of the near friends and relatives were present. The bride was supported during the ceremony by her sister. Miss Ada V. Bancroft, While Ernest Howes, acted the part of grooms- man.

They were followed by the hearty good wishes of all as they are widely known and much esteemed in the neighborhood. On the evening of July 4th, the happy couple | returned and were met by their friends and were duly installed in their new home. There may they live, long and happily, surrounded by a large circle of friends, ever increasing in consequence of a sincere affability, characteristic of Dr. and Mrs.

The following resolution was passed at a recent meeting of Glengarry Tent No. 174 Knights of Maccabees of the world :

Whereas Divine Providence has been pleased to remove from our midst, our late Brother Sir Knight Norman D. McLeod.

Resolved—That we, the oflicers aud members of Glengarry Tent, 174, K.O.T. M., whilst humbly accepting the Divine Will, offer to his sorrowing daughter and our Bro. Sir Knights D. D. Archy N. aud John D. McLeod, our heartfelt sympathy in their sad trial, and sod as this bereave- ment is to his family aud relatives, we express the hope that even so great a loss to them may be turned into good, by Him who doeth all things for the best, and that by His grace our young men may be moved to emulate the many Christian virtues of him who in the prime of manhood and summer of his years was called home to rest with that happy throng who knows sorrow and toil no more.

Further resolved—That a copy of the above be inserted in the minutes of our meeting and a copy be sent to tho local papers for publication.
