O T. 011 the eve of your departure from Union we desire to express "ur hearty appeciatton of your zeal fer out' interests as a Division, and un'iring intelligent efforts in the ciuse of temperance and lor thc wedfare of the community. It must be as gratifying to you as it is to us to sec the steady growth of temperance principles here; and we feel sure we shall have your prayers and best wishes for the future.

We regret the necessity for your leaving us and earnestly pray that a blessing may follow yourself and family in jour old home, and that success may attend your efforts in everything 1h.1t is for the elevation of fallen humanity. An appropriate response followed on the part of Mr. Higgins. In behalf of the officers and members of the church and congregation Mr. A. Lindsay read the following address: Dear Pastor: The time having now arrived when in God's providence we must sever our connection as pastor and people, we wish ere you leave to gratefully acknowledge our sense of your earnest labors for us individually and as a church We have cause to be thankful that under ynur ministry our church has steadi- ily grown and that you leave it with ev ery prospect of a prosperous and useful future for it.

Interesting Letter From Rev. A. Fraser Descriptive ot Scenery and Climate-Advice to Con* sumptlves-lmportant Statistics. Fund ot useful Information. Dear lift. Editor: I beg to offer yon my humble apology for my long delay in writ, ing you. I am happy to state that we are well and that thu mild din-ate hu made a marked improvement in Mn Frater'a health The oity of San Pedro ia about MO milea south of Han Francisco and about i-JO from Loi Anglos. It haa two lines of railway rnnning into it, has a splendid harbor aud with the exception of 8u Diego ie the largest ihipping portsouth of Sun Francisco. The State of California, in ronnd numbers la about one thousand miles in length aud comprises an area of about 160,000 aquare miles. Southern California embraces aa area of about 40,000 square milea and is bounded on the east by the atate of Nevada and Colorado River and on the weat by the Pacific Ocean. A itraugtr beholding the landscape of Southern California from aome lofty eminence for the first time would imagine that it was a vast treeless plain, hemmed in lw- tween the wide ocean on one aide and a range of bald and jagged mountains from ten to fourteen thouaand foet high, on the other. On a closer survey hs wonld ob* serve tbat thia seeming barren landscape ia divided into ranches without fences, and white-washed barns and ont buildings glittering in the aunahine; thriving towns of considerable importance only a few miles apart, here and there orchards, small and large, bearing all manner of traits, and the horizontal lines of blue amoke Scattered over tbe landscape, betokening the numerous lines of railways that intersect the country in every direction. The population of Southern California ia ahout 200,000 and ao rapidly hu this part of the world grown of late that it has more than trebled within the lut ten yeara. Notwithstanding this rapid increase there is room enough here for twenty timea the present number of inhabitants. One great peculiarity of this oountry ia ita climaie: It ia drier, more annny, and leas windy here than the northern part of the state. There are only two aeaaons of the yeat in thia locality, the wet and dry season. The rainy season is the pleasantest time of tbe year. The first shower generally comes ahout the end of October. It sometines rains steady for two or three daya like yoar own --south casters," and is usually followed by one or two weeka of sonny skies when all nature aeema to smile and rejoice. Spring begins about November when the welcome rains begin to decern!. Then the bare brown hills doff their rusty summer garh and begin to array themselves with a mantle of vivid green, aoon followed witb a coat of many colors���a rare profusion of wild flowers of every aort peculiar to semi- tropical olimate. The average annual rain fall ia about 16 inches* tbat amount always insures a good crop and betokens a bountiful harvest, Laat season waa what ia term- ad a "dry year." Only 4ft inches of rain fell here during tbe last eighteen months; and we do not Took for another drop for three months longer. Farmers whose main crop consisted of wheat or barley have bad a poor year in oonsequenoe. We have about 300 sunny daya in the year. Frost and anow and ice are almost as rare here aa orange trees in tbe Comox Valley except snow upon the mountian tops 60 miles away. The mean average temperature for January ia 55 and July 70. Still it is hot enough here sometimes: yon can atand it at the sea aide, but away inlaud in the plaiua and vullies the tbremometer mounts up from 100s to 115* or 120*. Owing to tbe peon- liar dryness of the atmosphere, snn stroke is almost unknown, and the aame clothing ia worn by most people all the year round. It U alwaya cool in the shade. The nights are alwaya cool, Yuu catch oold very easily and it sticks to you like pine gum. The trade wind blowa inland from tbe ocean with daily regularity, sometimes a little stronger than is pleasant for delicate people. Occasionally we nave a blizzard of sand; may yon never experience one. Occasionally we have an earthquake: tbey are not nice, make yen feel sick at the stomach and what is worse they make yon feel small, and anxious to know���what next! You mnst bear in mind that thia country ia not paradise���no lack of dnst���of cranks male and female, of human depravity (the work kind) of hard times and bad drinking water, of���well, that ia enough for one dose. Undoubtedly our all-year-round climate is perhapa the beat in the world for invalids and old people, bnt for persons of ordinary health it is not so beneficial: it is apt to create lassitude and langour, and make them feel aa if they had too muoh of a good tab* You can get any climate yon please here in one days travel. On a winter's day yon may partake sf breakfast at the seaside after having a dip in the ocean, dine amid the aweet scented heavily laden orange groves and sup amid snow fields of the Sierra. Any one of a consumptive tendency���if they can afford it- ought to make a bee-line to San Bernardino or Riverside County alwut 40 miles east of Loa Angeloe, Of 200 cases many of them in the lut stages of the diseaoe, in that locality 78 were cured, 0 became worse, 8 no apparent change effect* ed and 59 died. The trouble ia that patients try every possible remedy at home and when given up by their physicians, u a lut resource, rush off to California, like the late Mr. 1 [ether* ington, when thu fatigue of the journey Isapt to accttli rate the disease and hasten the in. evitable. Moral:���Let consumptives eome to Southern California hi time if they expect to return home "on time". Yours, etc. A. Fhaskk. San Pedro, Cal., Ang. 13, 1894. To Contractors.

A Correspondent writes t���In order t show the influence of foul odors in thu ai upon milk, I will recount an experience of mme that may be of service to some rial leaden*. It was iu my early experience aa a ehee-v��� lusUicr. Events had paaaed off smoothly at the faotory until In .June, wheu I began to be bnthered with tainted milk. I soon located it aa coming from one dairy, and, moreover, the factory's largest natron, I Informed bis hired nun of tha damaged condition of tlie milk, uud sent minute Instructions ami suggestions io liin master relative to it** better care ovei night ou the farm, through ��� lie employment of aeration uud oooliug, fully expecting that tin; lacteal quality wouldimprove forthwith. Un the contrary, it got even worse, though I was informed thai my Instructions had been carried out faithfully. 1 told my employer thai the milk of pultun must hi* rejected aH.ij't'ther, an it wan giving us tainted curds and damaged ���iiuck right along. To ui) surprise my em ployer,who uas himself uu ohl cheese* maker, said that it would never do to reject this patron's milk, he being uu extenslVS and Influential farmer who would qulokly take offense, {Hr-Uuiij/t! Home rival la Lory, and seriously cripple the profits of our in* stituti'in. [wasfurther informed that it hud always been lhe custom to accent, UUdei ni.! i protest, BUOh milk ut [mtum--* thereabout, aud the maker was expected to do hi-J heat to alter its quality for the better during the making process. Strange ua it may seem to the Well-informed, -ikij-i-c-imivc, dairyman, the above idea has taken tmcli root iu .-nine eastern dniry communities that us u luw nf cur to in it mil handicaps factory management. To the outsider it aeema preposterous that a dairyman should suppose he could foiathad it*iik upou u manufacturer to lhe detriment of ail Ins neighbors in the associated system, bin it cornea simply from alack of know* li i.i'.; of what is hail milk ami of Its always disastrous reuults iu cheese making aud hm ter production. lu the instance mentioned, rather than submit to a custom tha*. was supposed to wait till the milk quality righted iiself.sub- ject to patient admonitions from the maker, i determined to visit the farm and look for ihe source of trouble, 1 found that they bad been planting corn and fertilizing it in tbe hill wilh stable dung und night soil. The heapB of manure had beeu only partially removed, ahd from the open pits fn whioh there were the dead carcasses of several lambs ami pigs, aroBn a sickening stenali that could he smelled ten rods oil'. Half way betweeu the burnyard and where the privy vault had been opened stood the milk wagon, ou which thc cans of milk rested during tiie night, i talked earnestly with this dairyman about tho serious trouble that lui mill' was caiifting, und requested him tn remove bis milk wagon out of range of bad odors. He did so, and tho next morning fits milk was perfectly pure uud continued ko during the rest of the summer. After seeing the oondition of things about his premises, I understood why aeration of the milk in that tainted utmosphere had augmented rather than helped the evil, In connection with the above instance I would say thut one uot practically connected with cheese or butter making has but a faint idea ofthe misconceptions of what constitutes a desirable milk quantity, as entertained by a vast number of dairymen. To u conscientious maker whose skill is compromised by linn lack uf co-operation mi tlie farm, lite situation in particularly exasperating. 1 often think that cheese and butter makers ure in belter position tn do pruciicdl reform work among those dairymen who need it, than nre any other class, For eight month.-i in tlio year the good and had methods of every dairy farm in their jurisdiction, as Indexed by the milk quality from each, passes before them. They know just where tho fault lies with A, 11 uud 0, and can often set him aright moro effectually thun could tlm argument of an institute worker in speaking iu a general way tii a general audience. 1 think that it fa a must unsatisfactory plan for makers to wait for Homebody eluo to come along and spur up their delinquent patrons to better methods. Kvery maker should hustle for himself in this matter and the result will be hoiiib of the best reform ilairy work ever inaugurated. Troublesome Files. "A merciful man is merciful to his beasts," therefore, oare for the cattle by applying some greasy substance which will keep the flies olf from them. Prof. Sling* erland, of Cornell University, says : "Two classes of lemedies are practicable; pre* ventive, to prevent injury to the cattle by keeping ot) the fly ; destructive, by destroying the insect in its larval or adult condition. The Ily may be kept awuy from the cattle for several days hy ihe application of almost uny greasy substance to the parts mure liable in attack. Fish oil, to which a little carbolic acid has been added as a healiag agent, is the must highly recommended ; common axlu-greese, tallow, kerosene emulsion, or sheep dip muy be used to good advantage. The substance may be applied with u sponge or with u fapray. Uno thorough application is ofteu sufficient,hut as its repelling power usually lasts only live or six days, it may be necessary to repeat the application, Among thc destructive agents lor the tly, tobacco powder ia considered Ihe best. It should be dusted on those parts where the Hies most gem rally congregate, and it is certain death to those that come in contact witli it. The larva may he destroyed hy scattering a little lime or planter on the fresher droppings iu the Held, This should be dune early in the season, as every larva killed then represents the death of many flies later." Thin Out tho Poultry. The most profitable part of the laying season is over ami the supply of young chicks has reached its maximum fur the year ami the cost of the (looks will soon begin to tell on the grain supplies, if tho surplus of the mature hens and roostcts is Urge. For the sake uf economy these should bo put into the market as rapidly as pos. atble to give room tor tho now crop, During the remainder of the summer the proportion of eggs will be small and the males will j rove a useless lot lo he disposed of at o to save the cost of keeping what hai .... futttra prospect of increase, unless it may be in aome exceptionally tine specimens which might be carried over. In the first it does nut pay to keep the unprofitable stack, and in the next there is danger in crowding the fowls much which encourages disease and the parasitica which devour them. Hir William Harcourt, in one nf his genial and amusing speeches at tho civil service dinner rooently,gave incidentally a denial to ihe minors of his intention to go up to the House of Lords. Hen- is the passage. He was chaffing Lord Welby, and said; "I Imps long to preserve in private life his intimacy and friendship, but be bus gone to a place to which! eat. never go." ("Yes, yes,"). "No, no ; I am telling you what i�� the truth. 'There is a gulf tixed. I cannot go to him and ho cannot come to mo.- That is flat." HOW TO SETTLE STRIKES. CapltaJ ������ml Labor Have �����. h to lo** 'i-.nu the I'r ���*-,*��� m Noil�� or ftt-llllutc 8trikee, A country that is subject to strikes that injure the whole population ia net a happy ono to live in or a sate one to invest in. It may always know where to place the lilame for a destructive tie-up, and in the last resort may be able to put down violence, but unless its laws er the relations between its capital and labor are a reasonable guarantee of industrial peace, property must be insecure ami credit bad. It concerns the United .States to lind out, not so much which side was right and which wrong in the present strike, but how it may escape the agony nf another. The close of this strike does uot mark uny progress. Tho questions between labor and capital may slid besettledln tho same primitive fashion, Labor may strike wheu it is uot satisfied, other labor may strike when it sympathises. BTB1KMU MAV BKOOMI RIOTOUS wheu they lose their patieuee with obdurate employers, utidsome "great toe of the assembly" like Dubs may again try to inuke the wu.de system stop. Labor may he n urea sou able or capital muy be uiiieauunable, Neither of them is re Sponsible to lhe law for bringing about a strike, and once a strike is well on unlaw* ful acts easily follow. The United States has no lack ol reason for taking stopt prevent the recurrence of such calamities as strikes bave brought to it several times this year. A couutry whose development is one of the marvuU of creditquite as muoh as of enterprise cannot afford such labor conflicts. The Stock Kxchangti is the baro. meter of contidenec.and every strike causes a shrinkage in prices aud decline iu foreign business. Tho United States has more interest in discovering a speedy solution of tbe question between capital and labor than other countries, and mainly for tho reason that it is so great a debtor nation. That a solution is not obvious does not prove that it is impossible. To-day people woutler why England was so long finding out so .simple, self-evident a thing aa the principle of responsible government. Vote by ballot came late, but it should have lieen stumbled ou long ago, Iu tbe same way it may he that the key to the settle, mem. of quest ions between capital and labor may lie lying under our noses. To say that the .State should not interfere between capital und labor because wages should he left to the natural law of StTPI.Y AND DEMAND scarcely disposes of the question, because that is a theory und strikes are a condition. An artlfidal means of preventing strikes might be hit upon that would compensate both sides for whatever they would have to give up of their natural rights. If civilized men hud clung to their natural rights there would have been no society to-day. They gave up those rights for others ot far greater value. Natural rights depended on the puny strength of eaoh individual, and civilized men gave them up for rights upheld and secured to eaoh by the community. Capital, labor, the whole community, have much to lose from the present mode of settling industrial differences. For its own good the United States will be apt to look about for some other mode, whioh may be arbitrary in its beginnings, but which will do fairly by every bod* concerned and ensure the Bafety of property. A tribunal to wlibit may be referred all differences betweeu capital and labor has already been talKed of. What Is True ? Truth to self haa many opponents. Mental indolence is one oi them. It often takes much energy and labor to find out what is truo, A man thinks that he holds certain beliefs which he has never even grasped. Ilo bas heard of them from others, and takes them for granted without a thought, It even troubles him to have them called in question. Vet they are really not his. He has not earned them by any effort, nor cau he claim them by any right. It is not loyalty to truth that makes him cling to them. It is merely adherence to a habit of thought which he has contracted. It will he said that no one has the time nr the power to investigate every opinion presented to him. This is very true, We do well to believe much that we cannot prove, but which has been fully established by those iu whose special ability and judgment we implicitly trust. Hut upon subjects that are still controverted by those who study them --problems of science upon which scientists disagree, or principles of government on which statesmen differ, or questions of fact which observers view from opposite standpoints���ttie man who is true to himself will either investigate dispassionately, and labor to form just conclusions thereof, or, if this be impossible, he will hold his judgment iu suspense, and refrain frum proclaiming aa a truism that of whose truth he is not sufficiently convinced. In the investigation of religious or scientific truth there ts nu greater fault thau the disposition to rush to conclusions. The process by which the truth of any principle is discoverable is necessarily slow, and it is only folly or presumption to anticipate its work.

Our ex per mental prospecting and examinations are very incomplete aud supet lieial, but enough has been done in the region north of Superior ami Huron, once believed to bu a dusolato and worthless waste of rock and muskeg, to show that it fa possessed of the richest minerals iu the province. Ontario's situation at present suggests a comparison with our cousins across the border, and when we ohserve the rapid increase of mineral develnputeut there, the great stream of capital that ia continually pouring iuto their mining districts, and the transformation of regioua but lately accessible into habitable places and scenes of home life aud industrial activity, the conclusion seems apparent that if Ontario could succeed iu directing some of her wealth, energy and enterprise iuto some of her economic mineral locations, results of a like tendency would inevitably accrue. IT IS A DI8QRA0R and a compliment at the same time to us that nmre than half the capital now invested in mines and mining property in Ontario is und ������������ the control of Americans, and we nui.it open our eyes to this fact. One of the main reasons why some Canadian owners have ceased woi king their claims is not that they are not workable, but rather that thoir knowledge of improved methods and processes ia not equal to the requirements of economic production with scant capital and primitive ideas. This evidence leads one to conclude that the American investments are managed by competent and experienced men of ability, who direct the operations under their control with intelligence and despatch. Great mining industries awe their development, growth, success, and prosperity to the amalgamation of practical and scientific methods, modern plant, adequate capital, cheap facilities for transportation and business capabilities.

The cradle in which the infant son ot the Iinke and Duchess of York reposes is a gift from the Queen, and bears au inscription to the effect that it was made in 1840 for the l'rincsaa Royal, was used fnr all Her Majesty's children, aud was given by tho Queen to the Duchess of York in 1HBI. The; Queen commissioned the firm of Kdmnnds .V Orr, Wignmre street, to fit it up wiih pure white satin and lloniton lace, and, as he buBsinetto is itself in white wood, thore s no scrap of color about it. The Queen has alsn given a second cradlo to tho Dilations, made of mahogany, inlaid with fine gilding. This ia fitted up with brocade in delicately pale tones of color. The bedding provided for both cradles is of the softest and lightest description. The sheets are of Irish lawn bordered witb Valenciennes lace and the blankets are of Pyreneau wool, very white, and weighing very little, the texture more nearly resembling eiderdown than flannel. Two small eiderdown quilts have lieen provided for the baby's use, one white and one pale pink. The Queen has also given the little Prince several rubes, including onoof fine Irish lawn and lace, and a handsome cloak and hood of Zibeltno eilk. Three small plumes in the hood suggest the Prince nf Wales' feathers. Such articles as theae, for the children of the wealthy, were some years ago almost invariably made of French cambric, but of late years the manufacture of Irish lawn bus so immensely improved thai it, now equals, if it does not even surpuss, tho finest products of the looms of Cambray, so close, so even, and so clear is it.

Ontario stone will stand as groat a textile strain, is equal in its grain and its resistance to froBt and fire and can be quarried in quite as large blocks if our owners would only erect tho requisite plant. There are a great many magnificent quarries of structural stone such as limestone,red, grey, buff, and brown sandstone, grey and red granite, marble, serpentine agate, iu various tints scattered over Ontario, along the north shore of Superior and Huron, where deep draught vessels could easily load. These quarries are scarcely touched, although they have the finest grades of saudstone, granite, limestone and variegated marble in sufficient quantities to furnish the continent of America. A OltlOAOO F1HM have 11.0(H) acres on Verte and Orange islandsof sandstone, whioh experts claim to be preferable to the best New York brown stone. It has been sent to Chicago In large shipments and many of the finest buildings in the Windy City have been erected with it, which should be sufficient guarantee of its durability. At Bridge- water and Chat's rapids are large deposits of serpentine stone that ii little worked, and at Marine is slate ot superior quality lying unworked. It ia grey like Scotch or Welsh. Its cleavage is good and its strength all that can he desired. It would make good flags, but is too hard to manufacture into roofing slate to make it pay.

SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND. An Cuglueer Haves Ills Train by Bnutilux HI Full ftiH-eri Over n 4'��vt- In. Had it not been for the cool bead aud ready hand of Frederick Titus, engineer of tlm Lehigh Valley freight engine, No. 3G0, himself, his crew of six men, the engine and four freight cars would now be lying at the bottom of an old mine hole, Titus the other day found himself in a predicament bo terrible that were he to experience it agaio, he says, he Ib afraid his nerve would fail. Titus was at the lever of the big engine as she rattled down the heavy grade on a long siding runuiug towa rd Miners Mills, a small town near Wilkeaberre* Penu. He was pulling four empty freight cars and going at a speed of twenty miles a,n hour. The track was wet from an early rain, and the big driving wheels of the engine alipped on the rails. Titus kept a sharp lookout ahead for danger, and stood ready to whistle down brakes at any moment. Suddenly, as ho glanced down the track his attention was attracted by adistuib- ance in the roadbed, only a few hundred feet ahead. He was surprised to see large holes appear, and as he looked the entire surface for a distance of several feet sank out of sight, and the edges of ono side of the hole continued to crumble. He immediately realized what had happened. The place was honeycombed by old mine workings, and one of the gangways, bun* dreds of feet below, had fallen in, taking down the surface witb it. The rails and ties alone remained straight and symmetrical,and the hole was all the time growing larger. In less time than it has taken to write one of these lines, all this passed through the mind ofthe engineer, and aa it did he acted, intuitively, perhaps, for he Baid utter* ard he had no time to think. Grasp* ing tho throttle he threw it open,-putting on a full head of steam, at the same time opening the sand tube to give the wheels a firm bold. The big engine sprang for* ward like a apinter and gaining speed with every inch of advance, shot across Lhe chasm swiftly and safely, but none too soon, for barely had the last car oleared the edge when the rails and ties fell with a crash into the big hole. After the train has been brought to a standstill the crew hurried back to the Bcene. The hole by this time was fully thirty feet aaross, and the bottom could not be seen. Titus said that he knew there was no room on the down grade to stop the train before it reaohed the cave in, and he felt the only safety waa in skimmimg across. A large force of men are at work repairing the damage.

Ktroug Ted I tunny of a It HI able WIhimh Added lo llie Already Lung 4'lialii or Evidence-Wliy Suffer When ibe Heans or fare iii-i* al Hand ? From tho Leamington Host. Mrs, Mary Olmstead, a highly respected and well known lady residing south of the village of Whefttley,eight miles from Learn- ingtou, has beeu the subject of an experience that has created not & little wonder, and has excited so much comment in tho vicinity of the lady's home that the Post believes it will prove of general interest. Proceeding to the handsome farm residence, we were ushered into a room where sat the genial old lady. Upou enquiry ahe informed us that she was in her eightieth year, and for one of her years she is the picture of health. She expressed her readiness to make public the particulars of her Buttering aud cure, stating that while sho did uot care to figure prominently in the newspapers, yet if her testimony would relieve othets suttering as nhe had done,ahe would forego any scruples iu the matter. She than related the story of nor case ua follows: "About six years ago 1 was stricken with sciatica rheumatism, which tirst nude its unpearanoo in my left knee, but gradually took possession of all my limbs. Within three munthi after its first appearance I was unable to leave my bod, and duy und night suffered the most excruciating pain. My limbs wore swolh io more than twice their natural si/.e, and draw n nut of ull natural shape. My feel weie also badly swollen, und my right arm wus in the shape of a aemi-circio. For throe long years 1 antlered in this manner, being unable to put a foot to the floor, the only way I could move around was by beiug wheeled in a chair. My appetite gradually lett ine until 1 had no desire or relish for food of any kin*i, and 1 got very thin and weak, During all this time I kept doctoring with the medical practitioners of the neighborhood, and iiwallowed gallons of medioine which cast my husband much money, but 1 um unable to say that I received any benefit from this medicine. My agony kept iucreasini/ and my system grow ing weaker, till many linns death vould have been a welcome relief to my sufferings. After reading in the newspapers about tho many cures effected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I decided to try tbem. My caBe was u stubborn one, and it was not until I had taken half a dozen boxes of the pills that I began to feel au improvement. 1 continued taking the pills, however, aud never had a relapse, and to-day I am as hearty and healthy as I was before the rheumatism came on. I am now able to knit and sew aa fast as any young person, whilo for years my fingers were as still' aB needles. 1 owe my recovery entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, aud will always have a good word to say for them. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of all druggists or direct by mail from Dr. Williams'Medioine Cu., Brockville, Ont,. or Schenectady, N.Y., at 50o. a hox, or &ix boxes for $2.50.

In Java, as a part of the marriage ceremony, the bride washes the feet of the groom. In Servia and Bulgaria tho groom gives the bride a tap with the heel of her own shoe. The Greek Church employs two rings in the marriage ceremony���one of gold, the other of silver. The wedding ring has at one time or another beeu waru on the thumb and every finger. Four rings were used in the marriage ceremony of Mary Stuart to the unfortunate Darnley. The use of the wedding ring is first noted in Egypt, when lhe ring was the emblem of eternity. Among the New Zealand natives the most important part of the ceremony ii a torrifiu mock scuttle. The Crusades introduced a fashion of holy cross rings, each containing a fragment of the true cross. Marriage by capture prevnileri among the Turcomans until a very receut date, and '.he form isstill keii up, A hundred years ago, whim the brile had a fortune, the newspapers stated that fact and gavo hIbo the amount. In Samoa lhe bride wean a wreath of fiowers, a dress of cocoa matting, and has her facu colored wilh turmeric. Among the Tartars a marriage is alwaya attended by a ihsm tight between the friends of the groom and bride. In Morocoo the faoe of tho beiile Is painted white and red, and her hands end feet are dyed yellow with houna. W hen the hair of a Roman bride was dressed far the weddiug, it was alwaya parted with the point of a spear. The Greek cities all kept matrimonial rolls in the public offices, open to the inspection of any interested person.

A a time when people's minds are ocoupi ed with public questions matters regarded* of minor importance are allowed to drop out of sight although they may have ns inconsiderable bearing on our social or national oondition. One of these Ib the general complaint of the scarcity of farm laborers iu tho interior counties of the cour try, and is wot thy of thoughtful attention at this time, when cities and towns are greatly distressed hy the number of the unemployed. There is no doubt a large proportion of these could find employment on farms if they were so disposed. Certainly the prevailing wagea is low when compared with the regular- wages of artisans and skilled laborers,being on many farms from fifty to seventy-five cents a day ; but that is not ao bail iu the couutry as it sounds in the town, and is certainly much better than dependent idleness. It must not,however, be overlooked, in defense of the idle tradesman that a very large proportion of the men would be of no use on a farm even if they went there, and could not earn oven the prescribed half- dollar if they tried. The boys from the farms, or a majority of them, at least, have gone to the towns or to tho factories and work-shops.and if they have learned a trade it iB generally one that unfits them for bucolic employment. Farmers, who are a shrewd class of men and reason on the closest margin, will seldom give employment to an iron worker, for example, for the simple reason that he is about aa useless in the hay-field as the farmer himself would be at the furnace and as much in everybody's way. Thc factory hands could no more wetld a scythe than they could an old time battle axe. In other words we have a surplus of poople trying to make a living by various forms of manufacturing and trading and not as many as are needed iu productive agriculture. Farmers themselves might at the present time, take advantage of tho situation to their own and general profit. Men have been leaving tlie country for the town because they could earn more thore. The farmers want ihem back again and they want an inducement to turn the other way. In farming as in all other employments it is a recognized condition that the best wagea secure the beat men and the farmer who concludes to pay liberal wages to first-class hands will be the most likely to get them, and ia lhe one whose harvesting will be a success in every respect. OUR DAIRY PRODUCTS. An Increase i�� tiie shii>mmt�� erchee-te, Hul a llvrri-a-if In tlm t:\jjin-i ot Butler There ia food for reflection in the figures showing the export of cheese and butter from Montreal during the present aeason. Up to the close of the wiek ending July 1. 457,199 boxes of cheese bad been shipped, or 172,557 more than in the same period last year. On the other hand, only 1,919 package! of butter had been exported, which is 2.572 packages less than up to the same date last year. It also appears that during the first week of July no shipments of butter had been made. Why the encouraging increaie in the cheese export and the deplorable shrinkige in the shipment of butter? In the case ot the former, prices, although lower perhaps than makers care to see, are faiily regular and remunerative, aud the market ia likely to ke p firm, for THB KVKN QUALITY OF OUR MAK I and thu wiae manner of supplying tlie market give Canadiau cheeae a standing that helps to sustain prices iu the liritish market*. This, unfortunately, cannot be said of our buttor. With Danish, Dutch aud Irish butter declining in value, our 'colonial," as it is termed, is not inquired for iu London, and is away down in the other English markets. This Is not becaulu tirst - claaa butter -annul bo made lu Canada, nor Is it because a prime article uanuut be delivered iu Englat.d. Hull) of these -.usslbtll tius havu beeu successfully demonstrated. Our fresh i*reamery butter is fully cjusl to tho finest Danish. But one great trouble seems tn be that, too many packers and shippers haudls butter as they would cheese. It is uxpensive work, however, "curing" butter lu cold storage. Time is no friend to the flavor or body of choice creamery, and tho long confinement muat tell even worae upon tiie storo-packed article Butter for the British markets muat be carefully made���of a firm and even texture, and with a rich flavor suggestive of our splendid pastures. It must then be handled by men who understand the business. It Bhould pass from maker to user as soon as possible. While it must have cold storage all thc way from the making room tc the counter, it should uot be trusted too loug and too implicitly to cold storage Our only hope, so far as the British markets are concerned, lies iu RAPID TRANSIT with the best cold storage during the summer time. Our pastures can flavor our butter most rieliuiously,and quick carriage in oold clumbers can largely retain that dainty flavor. We canuot expect to sue- j cesafully compete with the Australasian colonies in the winter; their grass fed cowa are in too good condition then. It is a saying among cur dairymen that "Cheeae liking." The industry is certainly the pride of Ontario, in this Province alone cheese to the value of $9,0110,000 is annually manufactured- Up to the end of the tirst week of July nearly $3,000,000 of British money has been circulating in Canada in return for our cheese made in 1894. And they asked for moro. But in the matter of our butter���marie from the same pasture-fed cows���there are no requests for further shipments. As already intimated, we can send choice butter to England iu lim-class condition, and that usually means a good price. But we cannot do so by keeping it In cold storage for big shipments or an expected rise in price. Varioua methods of handling butter mean all the difference there Is between a slump and a boom. Things Have Changed. The time was when learning waa natural ly expected to go plain dressed. Even tfl day, in a oountry like Germany, one would not be surprised to be told that a collar hadn't sat upon the neck of some wise professor while at his desk in one of tho ancient universities d.r years, or to observe that his coat waa chiefly marked by dust and snuff ���colored decorations, while his boots were total strangers to the "shiners'" arts.

With lite Attveulaie treat l> In favor or LiiiitJou. There are in London eight "District Post Offices," each in charge of a Postmaster. Within the delivery district of each of these offices there are from 40 to 173 branch and sub-l'ost Offices, the aggregate number of whicli is 795���making a total of 80.1 offices, at all of which stamps nay be purchased, and letters and parcels posted, and at nearly all ot which money orders are issued and paid, letters may be registered, and life Insurance, annuity,and savings bank businesa may tic transacted, says the North American Review. At all thu largo aub-officea there ia also telegraphic aervicu, Tli population of London in 1891 was 4,231,431 ���bo that there is in that oity a Post Office to every 5,2fiS inhabitants. The number of oflicora and subordinates regulsrly employed in the London local postal service is lo.Hliti, of whom 5,880 are letter carriers, in addition to a large "auxiliary" force, available for extraduty whenever required. The amount paid the lattet is equivalent to that necessary for the constant employment of 1,000 additional men���so that the actual force is very nearly 11,000, In New York there are 1 General Post Office, IK bran-di Post Office Stations, and 24 sub-stations, at all of which, in addition to ordinary postal business, money oidors may lie procured and paid and letters registered. Tiie resident population of New York, as shewn by the last municipal census, is 1,801,739���and on that basis there is allowed one Post Office to each 41,900 of iti people.

An Eccentric Judge. The late Sir Matthew Bcgbie, of British Columbia, was a trifle eccentric, A little whilo ago tlio journalists nf the province came under hia caustic notice. Sometimes the jurymen serving under him were very severely dealt with. Kor example, iu IK83 a man waa charged in Viotoria with killing another man with a Handbag, and iu the fare of tlie Judge's summing up the jury brought lu a verdict of "Not guilty," This gained for them a very pointed judicial admonition. Said the Chief .liiBticn ������ * (ieutlemen of the jury, mind, lhat i* your verdict, net mine. On your -tciencowill rest tin: stigma of returning such a disgraceful verdict. Many repi lit inns ol such conduct an yours will make trial by jury a horrible farce, and the city of Victoria a nest of immorality Household. Occupations for Girls. With the widening of the avenues of employment for women there ahould be mure painstaking care upon the part of pareuts to provide against future contingencies by so educating every girl in some useful or suitable employment that she could take care of herself in cose of necessity. Because there are so many more things a woman may do in these later days theie is less execusu for neglect. Every woman should be a capable housekeeper. So much is rudimental. But it is r.ever quite certain until the marriage day may have been set whether a girl is destined lo bu her own housekeeper. Too often it happens, even then, that marriage proves a failure ; and the wife discovers, too late for remedy, that, instead of being cherirbed snd supported, she muBt support herself uud bear up under whatever additional burden the i a riagu re ation may thrust upon her. Happy, then, the woman who in her youth may Imv** acquired that mastery of her bauds winch will r im hie her to earn tier bread and assure her own independence and usefulness u spite of ill-fortune. Nothing is more pitiable lhat) the caies of guutluwomen, brought Up in luxury and genteel idleness, wlio iu Lheir mature yeara are compelled to depend upon ibuirown exertions for a livelihood.

Girls must be provided wilh encupationa. Money is uo sure resource. Marriage nfteu proves u delusion ami a snare. There is uo surety uxcept in a knowledge of the means nf self-support. Parents who give t<) their daughters such knowledge do better thau to give them houses and lands. What they may kuow is a possession of which they cannot be deprived. If every girl born nto the world for one generation could be assured of bucIi capability as would enable her to mako her own way iu life by means of some useful employment, a Ion-; step would have beon taken toward the remedy ot many social evils.���[Philadelphia Record, ��� A Novel Flowerpot. lhe accompanying illustration shows a very simply Way of making an odd little flowerpot to set among the orthodox pota on thu win* m,, dowsil! or the flower-stand.

During the canning season many a cup of fruit juice ia wasted that might be converted into the best of vinegar, aaya a correspondent. I know people wlio mako all their vinegar for family use by simply keeping a jug in a warm place and pouring iuto it all fruit juice, rinsings from honey or syrup oups, or anything of the nature ; fruit parings from sound fruit are boiled in water enough to nicely cover Ihem and the water ia then drained into tho jug. Keep a oloth tied ovor the top of jug instead of corking it. When tho jug ia full of vinegar pour it olf, leaving a little with the " mother" In the bottom to hurry the fermenting process, Duriui* the time when canning is iu order more than one jug may be needed, but nearly every day during the year there will be a liltle juice loft from canned or preserved fruits used on tho table, a wee bit of this or lhat, whicli had better go into the vinegar jug than the swill-pail. Laat year we meant to have a few gallons of grape wine, but something went wrung with it; not liking to waste tht grapea, augar, time and labor that had been expended, I simply added a little mother and kept it in the sun for awhile, and if I did not have wine I had the nicest of vinegar.

Sir Charles D Ike, radical, has introduced in parliament a remarkable woman suffrage bill. His proposal is that any woman of full age, whether married or oiugle, Hhall bd periuited to vote, or to be a candidate in any parliamentary or boa! election. A woman duly elected shall, he proposes, bo allowed to sit iu cither the House of Lorda or tho House of Commons, The bill provides for universal adult suffrage but excludes the universities from their present privileges. Emanating aa it dues from the mind of an experienced and able politician the bill is regarded as one of the most peculiar products of the session, CHINESE LOAN. It is probable that over ��11,000,000 was offered to China, and this produced the result that China was not inclined to pay over 4 yer cent, for her loan. Tl.ore ia no doubt that ��1,500,000 gold will be issued here early iu September. The loan will probably consist of 4 per cent, thirty.year bonds, and at least two-thinh of this amount will be payable to China iu silver. For this loan there is uo special security, like the customs receipts, but only general faith iu China, It is not believed tbat Berlin will baue any controlling hand in thc issue of theloan, although probably Berlin will be compelled to take a portion of the loan on ground flour terms. There ia a great scramble among financiers, including London brokers of all ranks, to get on the inside uf the op* ration, aud there is no doubt that thc loan is obtainable iu Loudon twenty timea over. The negotiations for the loau have already affected the prioe of silver, aud there U no question that silver will go higher. Some of the tlnauoiors predict that it will go as high as 82(1 per ounce. Tho harduosa ofthe silver mark-tt is most pronounced, aud it aympathetically hardened the price of copper. A LcM-on Trom Lite. *"-**->-��..

We shall explain: After the late disasterous fire in Nanaimo the Insurance Companies cancelled a large number of policies in some blocks. We have just S10.000.00 to place just at present in any other Company. Now we cannot afford to carry over large (.tock without sufficient insurance. Consequently we are compelled to unload. To do this quickly we have put the prices lower on everything in our immense stock���than Dry Goods have ever been bought befoie��� lers than cost in nearly every instance.
